Chapter X
Light's POV
Disclosure
As of today, I have been working on the Kira investigation (version 4.0) for one week, and besides a crapload of statistical data, we're no closer to finding the new Kira than we were the first time around when I didn't have my memories and was working with L.
Or so I would have L to believe.
In reality, I've already figured a few things out about this new Kira. He is male. He is between thirty and forty-five years old.
And he's in New York, New York.
By telling L that Kira is definitely in New York and showing him the proof, I got him to relocate the entire investigation. After all, I need to get my hands on this guy before the rest of the team, so that I can get the Notebook back and fix this world all over again.
Content, I sit at my laptop and idly pretend to search for Kira information.
What I'm really doing? Searching for famous touristy date locations in downtown New York, because the tourist traps are probably the only place in the world that L has not yet been.
And, besides getting the Notebook, I still have to make him fall madly in love with me so that he'll join me, which doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell (no pun intended) of happening, but is worth a shot. I mean, what am I supposed to say to him? "Ryuuzaki, darling, rule the world with me, and then retire to Hell and be a demon with me" No.
But, like I once told Ryuk, I'm an optimist.
I minimize the page as L comes into the room, staring intently at whatever screen is up and pretending to have been working this whole time.
...Crap, it's a porn popup.
I turn red and exit out of it as quickly as I can, but L has already seen me 'studying' it and he breezes by me with a very, very slight smile.
"It's not what it looks like-" I start, but Ryuuzaki just looks at me innocently.
"You mean to tell me that you were not just closely examining a popup of a very short loop of explicit pornography?"
I stare at him for a moment. Something about the word 'pornography' coming out of his mouth is just...
Well. You know.
