A.N.: And now it's time for chapter ten, where the actions Kiyo and Yomi took in chapter six finally take effect.
Disclaimer: ME NO OWN DEATH NOTE. WHAT A SURPRISE.
Warning: Nah, not much in this chapter.
Yomi watched as L dialed Matsuda's cell phone and sighed as L warned the police officer to keep a close eye on Light's actions.
L noticed. "Is something wrong, Yomi-kun?"
Yomi got up and shook her head. "Nothing, L." The girl left the room, not noticing how L's eyes hungered over her body.
This is insane! Kiyo complained as Yomi sat down on her bed. Do we really have to do this?
"Kiyo..."
Knowing she would have no alternative, Kiyo sighed. "What happened, Yomi?"
"Ryuzaki..."
Kiyo looked up. "What about him?" Faking concern, Kiyo frowned. "He didn't-"
"No, nothing like that. It's just..." Yomi sighed again.
"What?"
"Ryuzaki...asked me if I was gay..." Yomi muttered to her knees.
Kiyo's eyes widened, and the girl pretended to be sympathetic. "Yomi, I'm sorry..."
Yomi smiled bitterly. "Don't be, Kiyo. You're one of the few who actually believed me... I just... thought Ryuzaki would be different, that he would understand..."
"Yomi..." Kiyo put a comforting hand on her friend's shoulder.
L heard all of this with wide eyes. Fortunately for the girls, it was not the first time they had to act like this, so L did not get suspicious.
However, this only increased his desire for Yomi.
Two days later...
Raito took his place in the room, satisfied to see Kiyo standing next to Yomi.
"Kira sent another message to Sakura television?!"
"Yes." L pressed the play button on the remote.
"I have found Kira." Misa's, only Kiyo and Yomi actually knew it was Misa's, distorted voice rang across the room. "I would like to thank everyone at the police station."
Raito was bombarded with shock. There was no way he could have seen who Ryuk was following with the crowd in Aoyoma, so how?!!
Kiyo sighed. Bet that was a shock for you, Yagami Raito.
While this was taking place, a certain distressed blonde model was pounding frantically at a computer. "Misa will smash the computer if it doesn't tell who Yagami Tsuki is!! (1) Why?! It's not fair!!!" (Chapter 6: Yaoi is NOT an option)
Rem frowned. It certainly was strange that after all Misa's careful work, there was no information on the boy who was Kira.
"Misa will throw a tantrum if she doesn't find out anything!!!"
Rem sighed. Why did she love this girl anyway? (A.N.: I'd like to ask that question myself, because in my opinion, Misa's a complete airhead who doesn't care about anything except a crazy mass murderer who's not even that good-looking!! Okay, maybe Raito is supposed to be "hot" since he's the main character of the series, but he didn't look too hot when Matsuda shot him!!)
Kiyo resisted the urge to look at Yomi nervously. This was it. This was going to be the one thing that'll change almost everything from now on. They were about to lose one of their biggest advantages in this "game."
How different do you think things will be? Yomi asked Kiyo anxiously.
Misa plays a big role in here, even though she was just used. Anything can happen from now. Either way, as long as L lives at least two months after the day he's supposed to die, we can get out of here, and that's all that matters at this point.
Yomi just nodded mentally and steadied herself.
"Hey, you guys won't believe what I just found out!!" Matsuda cried excitedly moments before they were about to broadcast another message to the second Kira.
"I'm sure it can wait until after we broadcast the message!" Aiwaza muttered through gritted teeth.
"Do you guys know who the model Misa-Misa is?!" The cop had decided to ignore Aiwaza's comment.
Kiyo raised an eyebrow. "No, Matsuda-san, but what does it have to do with this?"
"She died after having a major tantrum!!"
Yomi and Kiyo looked at each other incredulously. WTF?!!
"Um... that's a kinda sad way to die..." Yomi remarked quietly.
Matsuda bobbed his head up and down in agreement. "Yeah, she was throwing a fit, and then the floor gave away beneath her feet because she was jumping too much and screaming, and she fell down and hit her head."
"..."
"...okay..."
We really had to know that....
L stirred his cup and took a careful sip from it.
"Ryuzaki, this doesn't really have anything to do with the Kira case, so I'm just going to broadcast the damn message!!" Aiwaza declared, throwing a death glare at Matsuda. "Tantrum throwing models dying... at least the world's a bit cleaner now."
L stared thoughtfully at his cup of tea/coffee/drink of death and added another handful of sugar cubes in it.
Yomi tried not to roll her eyes. She knew L consumed a lot of sugar, but being by the man at all times had caused the girl to declare that if the world ever ran out of sugar, a certain insomniac detective would be at fault.
"Actually, Aiwaza-san, that will no longer be necessary."
Aiwaza's eyebrows shot up. "What?!"
"Amane-san, also known as Misa-Misa, was the prime suspect for the second Kira." L sipped his now sugary tea/coffee/drink of death. "In fact, she was the second Kira. A number of evidence was found in her room that was more than enough to convict her."
The Task Force and the girls stared open-mouthedly at the raven. "Are you telling me you already knew who the second Kira was?!!" Aiwaza roared, a vein starting to pop out of his temple.
"...in a way, yes."
Yomi face-palmed herself. Damn, L already knew that before episode 14?!
Apparently, yes. Kiyo said irritably. Of course L would know and not tell anyone!!
"And WHY did you not-" Aiwaza stopped himself. "No. Forget it. Just forget the whole fricking thing. My head is too tired and sore from all of your complicated genius explanations, and I'm not in the mood for more long, messed up talking of another language only you and Raito-kun could probably understand. You found the second Kira, however, she's dead, just go send out some guys to retrieve all the evidence- wait, you already did, didn't you? It appears that I, for the record, have no more business here for the rest of tonight, so I am going home!!!"
Aiwaza's pissed, not that I blamed him...
"Yes, now that Amane-san is dead, you are all free to go." Without another word, L swiftly exited the room, leaving a very confused and rather annoyed Task force and a very worried Kiyo and Yomi.
He's going to find out what we did.
How were we to know his passwords? Yomi responded innocently.
"I promise you, L," Watari replied patiently, "I did not restrict any information on Yagami Raito without informing you."
L paced frantically around the room. "Then who did?! I know I didn't do it, and you are the only one here who can figure out the passwords, Watari!! There's no other logical explanation!!"
Watari sighed, his patience starting to wither. "L, logical things have not been occurring. Take this Zarth person for example. I don't know what I believe in, but there was no way he could have predicted our actions or thinking so easily, L. And how would he know our names?"
L bit his thumb harder than he intended to, drawing a bead of blood at the tip. He knew Misa had been looking up information on Yagami-Raito, her computer had not been destroyed. He had later found out that such information was no longer available to the public, therefore the cause of Misa's anger and temper tantrum. With that, Yagami Raito had to be Kira. There was no other explanation.
There were few people who could have possibly done that, and the ones who weren't L had no reason to do so. But he hadn't done it!! Someone, or something, had taken his computer, found out his passwords, and had done it instead, and if it wasn't Watari...
L was not a happy man. Not at all.
Rem was furious. Of all things, Misa had to die by one of her stupid temper tantrums!!
Deep down, the shinigami knew it was Misa's own fault, but she needed someone to take out her anger on.
Rem began to write a name.
Rem's going to be a problem, Kiyo thought to Yomi. Because of her stupid maternal feeling for Misa, L died, and right now, she might blame us and kill us or L or the task force.
But there's no way Rem could have known...
She's a shinigami. I'm not putting it past her.
BEEP.
NO, Zarth, we do not need your rambling on how amusing we are!!
I HAVE TO ADMIT THE OTHER DAY WAS AMUSING, YOMI'S AND KIYO'S, BUT I HAVEN'T COME FOR THAT.
You call this coming?!
REM IS DEAD.
What?! How?!
I DON'T FEEL LIKE TELLING YOU.
Jerk. But why are you telling us?
IT WOULD HAVE MADE YOU UNNECESSARILY WORRIED IF I HADN'T TOLD YOU.
I thought you said you weren't supposed to help.
YES. BUT I MAKE ALL THE RULES.
So you want us to succeed?
YES.
Okay, that makes things easier. So, how did Rem die?
I FEEL TOO MUCH LIKE A JERK TO TELL YOU.
Is that really true?
?
Yeah, Kiyo, what do you mean?
Sounds to me that Zarth doesn't know, that's why he's not telling us.
...DON'T TRY THAT ONE ON ME.
Aha!! So you really don't know!!
Kiyo, don't push Zarth, we have no idea what he might be capable of-
Zarth doesn't know, Zarth doesn't know!!
I MUST SAY YOMI WAS SMARTER THAN YOU, BUT YOU'RE TOO AMUSING TO KILL. FINE, I'LL TELL YOU SINCE YOU'LL KEEP BUGGING ME.
Oh, Zarth, you shouldn't have.
REM GOT MAD AND WROTE A NAME IN THE DEATH NOTE. TECHNICALLY, IT'S NOT AGAINST THE RULES, BUT THE SHINIGAMI KING GOT IRRITATED THAT REM WOULD CAUSE SUCH A FUSS OVER THAT IDIOT GIRL AND KILLED HER AS A PUNISHMENT.
Can't say I really blame him, even though that's kind of harsh.
Well, Misa's head may be empty, but she was deadly. Hey, that's rhymes! Empty but deadly!
Yomi... Kiyo rolled her eyes. Oh yeah, and were you really responsible for the soccer ball incident, Zarth?
I MUST ADMIT THAT WAS VERY AMUSING, BUT THAT WAS JUST PURE LUCK. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CASE, I SUPPOSE.
I just really hate Light, and he was annoying the hell out of me!!
YES, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
With Misa out of the way, things are going to be a lot different now.
TRUE. L MAY LIVE, OR HE MAY DIE EVEN EARLIER.
I'm going with the former.
YES, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO WITH THE FORMER.
I kind of like L, though, he's pretty cool. But seriously, I've seen cuter anime guys, so no, I don't have a crush on him or anything!
Same here, Yomi. By the way, whose name did Rem write down?
SOMEONE SHE BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MISA'S DEATH.
Light's?!!
NO. THE MAN WHO DESIGNED MISA'S HOUSE.
That's stupid!!
KIYO SOUNDS SO DISAPPOINTED.
It would make more sense to write down Light's name!! Then the whole Kira problem could just end, no threat to L anymore! And if Ryuk would be disappointed that his fun was cut off so quickly, it would be Rem's fault!!
You're really heartless, Kiyo.
He doesn't actually EXIST, Yomi!
THAT DOES MAKE SENSE, BUT THAT WOULD BE TOO BORING AND PERFECT.
You bastard. Are you saying you would have stopped Rem from killing Light if she attempted to?
YES. YOU TWO NEED TO SAVE L ON YOUR OWN.
Yet you continue to give us help...
REM'S "HELP" WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO BIG, THAT'S ALL.
Oh well, Misa and Rem are dead, and that was the main threat for L. Now all we have to do is to make sure L stays alive until then.
You're not making it sound easy, Kiyo.
That's because there's a chance it could NOT be easy! If that's all you have to say, Zarth, then bye!
Kiyo closed the laptop, and there was another beeping sound in response.
The girl suddenly giggled.
What's so funny now?
I just don't like Misa, that's all. I'm glad we don't have to meet her.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Haha, she dies of a tantrum!!
Both laughed out loud.
If people were expecting more L/Yomi and Light/Kiyo interactions, I apologize. I just don't like Misa, seriously!! She's just so stupid and willing to do anything for Light!! At least Matsuda knows what's right and wrong, and he's not a ditzy blonde.
I am sorry if anyone blonde is reading this, that's all crap, Misa would still set off my nerves if she were brown or black-haired.
I also don't like grown up girls such as Misa throwing stupid tantrums, so that's why I made her die. Haha. Yes, I can be very evil and heartless.
Next chapter will come soon/not soon!!
