Here's the tenth chapter. I'm writing as many as I can and nothing really significant has happened yet and Light hasn't even appeared but from this chapter onwards, it is going to be interesting. I don't own either Death Note or Doctor Who.
A Murderer and a Time Machine
Chapter 10: Shinigami exist?
The task force, the Doctor, Amy, Rory and L all sat around the coffee table, discussing Kira. L informed the others that he suspected someone in the task force or with family in the task force as they would be the only ones who had access to the information. Using himself as an example, he told them that Kira is childish and hates to lose as he has taken on every challenge set by L. L, taking out a black pen, drew some dates on the table an explained when Kira had been most active and seemed to be doing experiments. He deduced that Kira must be one of the people that the FBI were investigating during this period. "All we need is one piece of evidence." L stated.
The Doctor watched the entire conversation played out, recording every moment from his pocket. He wasn't going to interfere but there was a nagging feeling in his mind that he knew what was going on. "Hey, Ryuzaki?"
L was staring intently at his tea. "Yes, Doctor."
"Was that note helpful?" The Doctor asked.
L wondered why the Doctor was interested in the note. It hadn't really helped with the investigation at all. "No. Kira left a message for me in it but it didn't help locate him."
"Then, do you mind me asking what it said?"
L bluntly said. "L, do you know Gods of Death love apples?"
The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Gods of Death?"
"Well, shinigami but we all know that they do not exist."
Clicking his fingers, the Doctor's eyes flashed. "Shinigami! That's how he does it!"
All the police officers were in shock. L spoke up. "Are we meant to believe that they actually exist or is it that it is a killing method?"
"Both, in fact." The Doctor stated. "Shinigami is the name of an alien race, often referred to as Gods of Death or grim reapers. They have the ability to end a human's life with their name and face."
L sighed. "So what you're saying is that Kira is a shinigami."
"No." He said to the surprise of the others. "Shinigami can give their power to humans so it is more likely Kira is human."
"Yes, it makes more sense for Kira to be human." L muttered.
Soichiro stood up in confusion. "What do you mean, Ryuzaki? How is Kira human?"
"It's simple really." He replied boredly. "Kira is too childish to be a shinigami. He qcts like he wants to be God not that he is in fact God. There is also the fact that he kills criminals and I would think that a shinigami wouldn't really care who was killed."
"I see but will a shinigami be working with Kira?" Soichiro asked.
The Doctor interrupted. "No, shinigami believe they are better than humans and wouldn't work with Kira. The shinigami is probably following Kira around and watching him, if what I remember about them is correct."
"So we just have to find someone with a shinigami! They can't be too hard to find." Matsuda exclaimed.
"Again, no. The shinigami will have a perception filter so we won't be able to see it." The Doctor stated. Matsuda sighed and his head dropped. "However, if we can find a suspect, I may be able to use my sonic screwdriver to reverse the filter."
"And then we can see the shinigami!" Yelled a happy Matsuda. "If we use L's information about Kira's identity and narrow down the results, we can use the sonic on those who are suspicious!"
"Look through these files. They have the names of the people the FBI agents were investigating." L said as he produced a wad of papers from beside him. The members of the task force and Amy and Rory picked up the sheets and began to thoroughly read them and compare them.
"So you're not surprised that shinigami exist then?" The Doctor addressed L as he watched the team.
"After meeting you, I'm not surprised at all. You are an alien and it would make sense if you were aware of other aliens. I was beginning to deduce that shinigami may exist anyway." L muttered, focused on the group's actions.
"I see." The Doctor replied. "You are quite a good detective, L."
"Yes, I am. Also I would like it if you would call me Ryuzaki." L stared at the Doctor, examining his actions.
The Doctor smiled. "Sure. Also, I would like it if you didn't try to find out the names of the couple. I'm trying to keep them safe from Kira."
"That is fine." L's phone began to ring so he picked it up and held it as if were contagious. "Yes... Come here now... The door is unlocked." He said into the mobile and then hung up. "Watari is coming."
"With the resources, I assume?" The Doctor questionned.
The members looked at each other in confusion but were interrupted as a man in a suit walked through the door. He had white hair and moustache, making him seem pretty old. "Hello everyone. I am Watari." He said, removing the hat from his head. In his other hand, he held a briefcase which he gave to L. "Everything you asked for is here."
L nodded and opened the case. Swivelling it around on his knees, L presented the task force with the contents of the case. Inside, there was belts and fake for the police officers and Doctor and co. "Watari, hand these out." He gave the case back to Watari who explained what the belt did and told them they needed to have the fake to evade Kira. The Doctor refused to take any of it. He was safe since shinigamis can't kill timelords.
