Umbrella
Light smirked.
"I'm Kira."
The constant drizzle seemed to subside with those two words. And on the contrary, the sound, the silence, grew louder as everything else quieted.
The business man chuckled.
"You expect me to believe you're Kira. The real Kira would never reveal that," he dismissed. Light frowned, worst of all he couldn't prove it.
"Well?" the man inquired impatiently. "Would you mind providing me with evidence as to how you're Kira?"
The drizzle turned to rain and Light, sighing, got out his umbrella.
Thud.

"You see, Matsuda, what proves your theory wrong is that Light-kun was tied up. There's no way he could have gotten out on his own," L said in between bites of his cake.
Elle paled.
"Someone here must have released him without authorization," L stated. He turned his head just slightly, looking at Elle. "What is your opinion on that?"
"I, uh…. That's not good," she said, biting her nail, "… it probably means we have a traitor among us."
"Exactly my thinking. Now," L said, piling sugar into a seemingly bottomless teacup, "who could have done it?"

Thud.
Out slid a thin, black notebook between the folds of the umbrella. Light stared at it, picked it up, and grinned at Teru.
"Do you have a pen?" Light asked innocently. Teru silently handed one over to Light. They stared at each other for a couple seconds before another pair of people joined them.
"Ah! Shibuimaru-sensei," a young girl said, surprised. A man was pinning her against the wall, seven feet away from Light and Teru.
"You can call me Kane," the man purred, his hand sliding down to her-
"No! Please!" the girl screamed.
"Hey! I know your brother!" Light said.
"How would you know?" Kane Shibuimaru glared.
"I killed him," Light said. Teru gasped. Kane laughed.
"He died in a traffic accident, how could you have killed him?"
"Like this," Light held up the notebook, to a page where the following words were written:
Kane Shibuimaru- runs toward street, is hit by bus.
Kane glared. "There's no way you'll make me run to the street."
"Try me. Oh, and I recommend you leave," Light motioned to the girl. She nodded and ran off.
"I'm not moving from this spot," Kane declared firmly.
"In ten seconds you will… Nine…. Eight… Seven… Six… Five," Light said.
"You're insane! If you think I'll- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Kane dashed away, screaming. There wasn't a bus when he stood in the center of the road. With a last glance, a bus quickly ran him over. People screamed at the gory scene. One woman who was standing within Light and Teru's earshots said, "Strange. The bus company itself shut down yesterday until a week from now. Every bus route was cancelled."
Teru leaned towards Light and murmured, "My name is Teru Mikami. I believe you, God."

"Ryuuzaki," Watari said through the computer.
"Yes, what is it, Watari?" L asked monotonously.
"I'm afraid I cannot dispose of the notebook," Watari said.
"Wait," Elle butted in, "you were going to dispose of the notebook?"
"Yes," L said, "relocate it where it couldn't be used. Watari was going to transport it today."
"L… The umbrella's gone," Watari said. L had a frustrated expression.
"You don't think," L began.
"That Light had any idea the notebook was in there? I strongly doubt it. No one in the task force knew," Watari said.
Elle's blood froze. Not only had she freed a murderer, but she also gave him his lethal tool.
Oh, God, no… Noooo….
