Author's Note- Yaaaaay!!! I finally updated!! I managed to write the next couple of chapters (with absolutely NO help from my brother) and I will be posting both immediately!! So I hope these next few chapters will keep you interested because a lot of stuff you didn't see coming happens HAHA!! On with the story!!
The response to the Kira videos had been written, sent to the Sakura TV station, and now everyone was just waiting for another response from the second Kira.
While everyone of the police task force sat around talking about different aspects of the case, Naomi sat on the couch and quietly observed Beyond and L, both of whom were sitting across from each other eating their favorite foods (B had his jam and L had a strawberry shortcake) and having what looked like a staring contest.
'They look so similar, and yet their personalities are way too different. I mean, L is the epitome of justice while Beyond is a murderer. Then again, they both have this certain mystery to them. Hmmm, maybe they're related-'
"Naomi?"
She snapped out of her thoughts and looked towards the one who had said her name.
"Is there any particular reason your staring at me and L?"
Naomi sighed. Not only did Beyond catch her staring, he didn't even look at her when he spoke. He was still engrossed in his staring contest with L.
"I was just…thinking about the case. Sorry if my staring bothered you."
Beyond put a wad of jam in his mouth before answering her. " It wasn't that you were bothering me. The intensity of your stare just made it feel like you were burning a hole in my head with your eyes."
"Interesting choice of words B. Don't think I missed that."
"Yep, nothing gets past you, huh L?"
Just as L was about to warn him about saying his name, Watari's voice came from the computer.
"Ryuzaki, the second Kira has just sent some tapes to Sakura TV. We intercepted them and I'm streaming you the video now."
For the second time, Ryuzaki broke eye contact with Beyond and got up to sit in front of the computer.
As much as Beyond wanted to congratulate himself again, he held it in and instead followed Naomi to where L, Light, and the rest of the task force had gathered in front of the laptop.
Naomi noted that Beyond had stood as far away from Light as possible.
'What's gotten into him?'
Before she could think about the matter any further, the second Kira's synthetic voice filled the room.
"Kira, I'm so glad you responded. I want to meet you very soon. I don't think you have the eyes.."
Light's nervous movement immediately caught Beyond's attention, but it was what Kira had said that confused him.
'Eyes? Like…Shinigami eyes?....My eyes…'
"…We can confirm our identities by showing our shinigami to each other."
'Shinigami?! No way…'
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Everyone looked towards L, uncertain of what was going on. Seconds later, his chair fell to the side and he sat on the floor gaping at the screen.
"Sh-Shinigami? Am I supposed to believe that shinigami are real?!"
"Listen to yourself! Of course shinigami aren't real!"
Everyone's attention was now on Light.
"It must be a code for how the two Kiras kill."
L slowly stood back up and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Yes, your right. It must be a code."
"But what about these 'eyes' that they mentioned?" Aizawa asked.
Light thought it over for a moment.
"Well, I guess it's another code, one that only Kira would know."
'Not only Kira Light. I know what it means too.'
When everyone left for the night and Naomi had gone into her room, Beyond walked over to where L was going over the second Kira's video again.
"Can I help you Beyond?"
"Probably not. But I can help you. Let's just say I might know what the second Kira meant when they said that bit about the eyes."
L paused the video and got up from his chair in order to fully face Beyond.
"You think it's something different than what Light said?"
B rolled his eyes.
"As brilliant as Light may be, he doesn't know everything. 'Eyes' is not code for anything. 'Not having the eyes' means that the original Kira doesn't have Shinigami eyes. But that also means that the second Kira does."
The detectives thumb had found its way to his mouth again as he slowly tilted his head in confusion.
"Shinigami eyes? I'm afraid I don't follow."
Beyond smirked. "So, the freat L doesn't know everything huh? And to think, those kids at Wammy's-"
"Beyond! Please explain what you mean by 'Shinigami eyes' or else go away. I have more important things to do rather than hear you gloat."
Instead of making a snarky comeback, Beyond's grin grew wider and he moved closer to L.
"Alright, I'll fill you in on the little secret, but at a price: you tell me your name, and I'll give you all the info you want about the shinigami eyes."
If looks could kill, Beyond would be dead.
"No amount of information will ever make me reveal my name to you, or anybody else."
The glare L had been giving him only intensified when Beyond began to chuckle darkly. After a quick glance above L's head, Beyond controlled himself and looked proudly towards the detective.
"Heh, I would've given you the information anyway. You see, Shinigami eyes allow a person to see the name and lifespan of anyone just by looking at them. It's a pretty scary thought knowing that the second Kira has this power, don't you think?"
L's eyes were now wide as he took in all the information. Shinigami eyes? How could anyone possess such a devastating ability?
"And how exactly do you know all this?"
Beyond's dark smile grew to it's widest.
"Because, I have Shinigami eyes L Lawliet."
WOW!!!! Bet no one expected that!!!! Sure I'm straying away from the story a little –coughALOTcough- but hey, fanfiction is awesome like that!! Expect the next chapter MUCH sonner!!
