LL: Ok I know its been almost 2 weeks and I'm sorry. But I'm back and I came with a new chapter. Questions are at the end. ENJOY! REVIEW!
Ask me, Mizuki, or the Death Note cast a question and it will be in the next chapter!
Chapter Song: Fuck You- Lily Allen
Mizuki P.O.V
You would think I would get used to the stares that I was getting from everyone in the university for my mask, but you know what, I won't.
I was at the To-Oh entrance exam and since I was chosen as a freshman representative, I was thinking up a speech for when I go up last minute. I was sitting in the crowd of other people and everyone was glancing at me curiously and cautiously. Then they started calling up the representatives. "Now for the freshman address. Freshman representatives, Light Yagami."
I saw Light stand up and say, "Yes." Then the instructor said, "Freshman representative Hideki Ryuga."
"Oh, I'm here," I heard L in the distance.
"And freshman representative Haruka Fujimoto."
I stood up and said, "Here." All three of us started walking up on the stage as I saw L and Light glance at me curiously. I was walking lazily with my hands in my pocket and I made it look like I wasn't affected by getting the highest score. Light went on with his speech and as he finished, I decided to listen to the people whispering about us as L started his speech. L turned to read his speech that he was holding it up with his fingertips on the corners.
"Man those two guys are total opposites."
"Yeah, one looks like a sheltered genius who's been groomed for success his whole life, but the other one. There's something not right about him, he's freakin weird."
"This guy must be what they call a mad genius, coming to the To-Oh entrance ceremony dressed like that. Unbelieveable! Either he's crazy or he's just toying with us."
I snorted at that. 'If anyone's the mad genius here, it's me. L's more of a I-Don't-Care-About-How-I Present-Myself-I'm-Still-Smarter-Than-You genius.'
"And the girl with them, what's with the mask?" Now that caught my interest.
"I don't know. But it's weird. While the other two are complete opposites, that one's just a complete mystery other than the fact that she looks like she'd rather be anywhere but here. And she looks really creepy with that mask, I wonder why she's wearing it."
'Now that's just mean… and it's not creepy!'
Everyone started clapping as L finished his speech and then it was my turn to do my speech. I could tell that everyone was paying attention to my speech so that they could get a hold of the kind of person that I am. I walked towards the microphone and started my speech. Most of it was pretty much a mix of Light and L's speech, but with more of my own flare to things. By the time I finished, some people were left inspired, speechless, and people even stood up.
I turned around to see Light, fuming that I had bested his own speech and L was just standing there with no reaction. I pouted at that. 'I wanted to see his reaction to my speech.'
I was able to pick out some words from the crowd.
"Wow, she has a nice voice! I wonder what she looks like under the mask."
"Do you think she's pretty under her mask?"
"I wonder why she wears it?"
"Her speech was amazing. I didn't think she would have such charisma!"
'It seems like most of them are just curious about what's under my mask,' I thought.
We all started walking down the stairs towards our seats and I let L talk to Light. By the time I started paying attention to their conversation, we were seated I was next to L on his left while Light was seated to L's right. I tried not to stare at Ryuk who was on Light's right side.
"If you promise not to tell anyone about this, I have important information concerning the Kira investigation that I'd like to share with you," L said to Light. At this point, Light was in a state of curiosity of who L was so to find out more he said, "I won't tell anyone, what is it?"
"I want to tell you, I'm L."
I started internally laughing at the fact that Light was freaking out on the inside. Unfortunately though Light got a hold of himself and said, "If you are who you say you are, then you have nothing but my respect and admiration."
"Thank you. The reason that I chose to reveal my identity to you is because I think you could be some help to us on the Kira investigation," explained L. Then Ryuk started laughing and said, "If this guy is really L like he says, then consider me impressed."
Then things started slowing down after that. Once the ceremony ended and we were free to leave, I got up to go and L did too. I walked near them and L was telling Light goodbye and I stood next to Light as the limousine drove off. I said, "Strange guy don't you think?"
Light jumped, slightly startled at my appearance before he said, "Uhh, yeah and you're Haruka Fujimoto right?" I glanced at him from the corner of my eye before I said, "Yes that would be me."
"If you don't mind me asking Haruka, why do you wear that mask? I mean I don't really see any reason behind wearing a mask in public," asked Light.
"Scopophobia, it is a fear of being stared at. I have this fear and this mask helps out since people are not able to look at my face or look me in the eyes. It keeps my fear at bay and in return I am about to somewhat go to school as a normal student," I explained as I held myself back from wringing the little worm's neck.
"That's a shame since you have such a nice voice. I'm sure your face would be as beautiful to match it," he said flirtingly. I narrowed my eyes at him.
'He's trying to use me. I'm guessing since he sees me as someone who could be as smart as him that he could have me on his side,' I thought angrily.
I turned towards Light and said, "Yeah, let's get something straight Light. You may be as smart as me but just so you know, you aren't my type and I can say right now that a relationship between me and you would not work so I would appreciate if you give up on your advances."
I turned to leave before I got an idea. I really shouldn't but I couldn't help it and it would help me in the long run. I turned back to Light and said, "Oh and by the way Light, don't you just love apples? I'm sure your little friend would agree with me hm?" I tilted my head at him as I saw all the different emotions in his eyes. The more prominent one was anger and shock, then I turned away from him I could feel him glaring daggers at me and the last thing I heard from them as I walked away was Ryuk saying "Interesting" before he started laughing.
I know doing that people would think I was reckless but it's not all bad. I had to get Light's attention off of L at the moment so that right now he'll consider me the bigger threat. He'll be more motivated to kill me for the time being.
Next Day
I was on my way to To-Oh since today's the day that they have their little tennis match and I want to help make sure that L wins that match. It was this match that was foreshadowing L's death because he lost the match and it signifies that L lost between him and Kira.
I walked towards the tennis courts and I saw as L and Light were talking and called, "Hey Ryuga, Light!"
They both turned towards me and Light gave me a slight glare as I walked to them. I cheerfully asked them, "You guys play tennis?" They both nodded and L said, "I was a Junior Tennis Champion."
"I myself was a Junior High Tennis Champion. What about you Haruka? We're about to play a game. How about you play a match against me after?" Asked Light with a fake polite smile.
"Me? Well I've never really played tennis but I'd be willing to try!" I said as an evil plan emerged in my head. As Light went to his side of the court, I stopped L and said, "A word of advice, he would most likely be on defensive for most of the game. If you guys both need a point to win, he'll go on the offense."
He looked at me curiously and said, "How are you so sure of that?" I smirked and said, "I know how to read people. He's cautious and this match will make you think he's Kira but he'll eventually deduct that you won't be about to get anything out of a tennis match so he'll go for the win."
I turned away from him and went towards the stands as they started their match and I put my full attention on how they were playing since I was going to be playing Light after their match.
L had first serve and when he hit it, the ball went zooming past Light who looked dumbfounded and Ryuk dodged the ball. That was when they started playing seriously and things started getting heated between them and they even started gathering a crowd with their game. Eventually, like I said, Light went offense. But this time L was able to hit back the ball. Unfortunately, L still lost to Light even with my advice. I felt my lips curl up in distaste and then I walked towards L and Light. I stopped right in front of them, "That was a great game guys! You looked really good out there."
'Well L looked great out there', I thought.
I turned to Light and said in a slight mocking tone, "Light you need a break before we start our game. I mean you look pretty tired right now. Are you sure you're up for it?"
He slightly clenched his jaw before gave a small laugh and a smile even though I could tell he wanted nothing more than to wring my neck. "I'll be fine after a small break thank you and I'm sure I'll be fine for our match since you're a beginner," he said slightly rubbing it in my face.
'Haha naive Light. He's underestimating me because of the fact that I've never played tennis before and doesn't expect much of me athletically. Well shame on him since I've mastered many martial arts styles and I was observing their match to see how to play.'
After Light took his break, L gave me the racket that he was using and I went to one side of the court and Light the other. I had first serve. I bounced the ball a couple of times then I threw it up and gave a hard swing. Just like L, Light was dumbfounded by the amount of strength I had in one swing. From then on Light was taking me as seriously as he was with L even though Light looks like he kept in shape, he doesn't exercise as much as I do to keep in shape as an assassin. Light managed to get one point and that's because I looked towards L to see if he was watching, which he was with an interested look on his face. The crowd from L and Light's match were still standing there in awe and Light managed to get the ball past me when I was distracted.
The rest of the game, even though Light was able to sent the ball flying back at me, I always found the weak point in his guard. I wasn't giving him the chance to go on offense. Eventually I won the match, no surprise. I could tell that I was starting to get to Light, someone who is practically unknown and a mystery that no doubt knows about his secret and I keep throwing him off. It's probably driving him mad.
Light, L, and I met up on the side of the court and then Light said, "I thought you said you've never played tennis?"
I looked at him and gave off a smirk and said arrogantly as I put a hand on my hip and leaned to one side, "I've never played tennis, but I was able to observe your match with L. I was able to get the basics of how to play but keeping up with you when it comes to speed and strength was pretty easy since I use an intense workout routine. I've mastered multiple forms of martial arts. Really one of the reasons I never bothered with simple sports is because I find them too easy. I find martial arts more challenging and since there are a lot of different styles to learn from, there's always something new."
Light looked stunned for a second before he said, "Wow, you're a martial arts genius and you learn how to play just from watching us?"
I smirked and said, "Yup."
"Amazing," muttered L who had his thumb to his mouth. I turned to him curiously with a small blush under my mask. He seemed to realize that he said that was in hearing distance from me so he turned away and Light went to go change into more casual clothing. L sat down on a bench and I sat down next to him in silence before he said, "I never expected you to be so intelligent. Yes I knew you were smart, but I never guessed you would be able to score the highest with Light and myself."
I tilted my head at him curiously and with a grin then I said, "I'm full of surprises Detective." He surprisingly gave off an amused snort before he covered it up and looked me in the eyes with a barely noticeable smile as he said, "I have no doubts about that, Mizuki."
I suddenly looked away feeling very bashful and my face very warm.
'It was just...when he said my name with that look on his face...it made me feel all warm and happy all of a sudden,' I thought.
L and my conversation was cut short when Light came back from changing and we all got up to take a short walk on the campus. I was walking on L's left while Light was walking on L's right.
"Just as I expected, you beat me."
"It's been awhile since I had to play that hard, especially against Haruka/ I just couldn't keep up with her," replied Light to L. Light turned his head towards L and said, "I'm getting kind of thirsty plus there's something I wanted to ask you about. Do you wanna go somewhere for a drink?"
"You humored me with a tennis match the least I can do is answer some of your questions. But before this conversation goes any further, there's something I must tell you."
Light looked at L curiously and asked, "What's that?"
"I suspect that you Light Yagami are in fact Kira… Now if you still wanna ask me something then please go ahead." Light stopped walking.
'BAM, Ha in your face Kira! Suffer you little bitch! Muahahaha burn the witch.'
L stopped a couple of steps ahead of Light and turned back to him and then Light gave off a laugh and said, "You think I'm Kira?"
"Well when I say I suspect you, it's only a one percent possibility. That aside I don't mind telling you that once I'm sure you aren't Kira and I can verify that your deductive skills are as strong as I think they are, I'd like nothing more than to have you work with me in this investigation."
As L turned to leave, I let out a long, "Hmmm."
They both turned to my direction and they looked at me questionably and L asked, "Is there something wrong Haruka?"
I looked up at them and said, "There's not anything that's wrong more like...strange about Light's reaction to being accused of being Kira." I saw as Light stiffened at my accusation.
"What do you mean Haruka?" asked Light innocently.
"Hm, Light I know how to read people but when it comes to you, it is slightly harder to know from just your facial expressions so I try to pick up on people actions, words, and even reactions. When L accused you of being Kira, you just laughed it off as if the idea that you were Kira was ludacris. Most people would act shocked or even surprised, maybe even react in anger to being accused of such a criminal like Kira. Especially since I've gathered that you harbor a distaste for criminals. From what I gather, people who laugh at accusations, especially one as serious as being Kira, are more likely to be guilty of a crime if they laugh off the accusation so that the person who accused the other feels stupid for considering them. In a way, Light's reaction just make me more suspicious of him being Kira. So unlike L's percentage, for me, the percentage of you being Kira is at...5 maybe 6."
Really, it was all true since more times than not when an anime character is lying, they give off a laugh and either question or deny their accusation. I also noticed when Light has knowledge of being Kira he was calm and collected about L calling him Kira. But when he lost his memories and L accused him of being Kira, he was more angry and annoyed about it.
I waited in silence as Light and L continued to stare at me. Well Light's was more of a glare but I started walking forward ahead of them as I lead the way to the cafe.
'Take that you crunch muffin manwhore of a L stealing bitch!'
When we got the cafe, we sat at the table in the back where people wouldn't be able to hear us and I took a seat next to L.
"This coffee is one of my favorites in the area... "
'Blah, blah, blah don't care Light Imagay you vending machine of lies! You gay pony of a prostitute. You will suffer a terrible fate by my hands.'
When I finally knocked myself out of my thoughts of castrating Light with a rusty spoon, paper clip, and hammer L was saying, "You're under no obligation to do this, but would you mind submitting yourself to a test of your deductive reasoning skills."
"Sure why not. Sounds like fun."
'Only you would find any kind of test fun Imagay.'
"We can begin by taking a look at these. Photographs of 3 notes written by prison inmates while under Kira's control just prior to their deaths. None of this information has been made public," said L as he put the pictures on the table and Light reached for them. Then L said, "You can take as long as you want to look them over please, let me know what you think."
"Very Interesting," said Light.
I smirked as I saw the wheels turning in Light's head, 'He's falling right into L's trap. He's thinking that the answer is so simple, but that's it. It's so simple, it's stupid. L's using the KISS method, Keep It Simple Stupid.'
As I blanked out from Light's terribly long explanation, I started thinking about what to do about… Beyond Birthday. I know his death is right around the corner and I'm thinking...should I save him? Right now the only person I have that is fully on my side is Naomi. I need someone who could work in the shadows. Unfortunately I don't have many choices available… if I'm gonna save the guy I need to make sure he absolutely disappears. Destroy all photographs, files, and all records of him even existing…
'This is gonna take a while,' I thought. 'I can already feel the exhaustion.'
"That's incorrect," said L breaking me out of my planning.
'Haha Bitch! Wrong! You are wrong! Who's wrong? You! You done fucked up bitch!' I thought calmly right next to L.
"The thing is there are actually 4 photographs. When we add this one it reads, L do you know Gods of Death who love apples have red hands, " said L when he took out the 4th photograph.
I smirked in satisfaction, 'Light was so sure that there was only 3 photographs because he's the one who knew how many there were. Unlike a normal person, he didn't think that there could be a 4th one.'
"But seeing as I only had 4 photographs to work with my deduction was perfect!" Light said defensively.
I cut in before L could say anything, "No, it wasn't perfect. There are 4 of them. If you figured out that were 4, your deduction would have been right. Even if the message was incomplete, you assumed that there were only 3 notes. You never considered the possibility that there could be a 4th note, hm?" I said in a questioning tone at the end as they both looked to me.
'Take that shithead!'
"Well you got me there, I didn't think of that. In any case, the likelihood this message will lead you to Kira is not very great. Besides we all know that gods of death don't exist," said Light in a fake good natured voice.
'Please, that act is as fake as my ID.'
"In any case, if you were me faced with someone who might be Kira, how would you go about establishing this person's innocence or guilt you need to be absolutely sure?" Questioned L.
"I would probably try to get him to say something that was never made public in any way. Something that only Kira could know. Kinda what you were doing just now," answered Light while taking a sip of his drink.
"Truly amazing," L complimented Light.
"What's incredible is that I've asked countless detectives the same question and it took most of them minutes to even come up with an answer. But you, you immediately thought of a scenario in which Kira is speaking directly to the investigator. I'm impressed. You'll make a fine detective Light."
"Ha, but it's a bit of a double edged sword. The more impressive my answers, the more of a suspect I become," said Light.
"Yes it's about 3% now. However it's made me that much more determined to work with you on this investigation. You see I'm in a position where even if you are Kira it would still be to my benefit to have you working alongside us. You know why I say that?" L said as he stared blankly at Light.
"If I cooperate with you, there's a chance I can help the investigation to move forward and if I'm Kira I might reveal myself. In other words whether I'm Kira or not, you stand to gain either way. It's a very smart move on your part. I think you might be getting the wrong idea. It's true that I do have an interest in the Kira case and yes detective work is a hobby of mine…"
'Blah, blah, blah *sigh* he just keeps talking and talking… Does he like ever get tired of the sound of his own voice or something? Hey, if he keeps this up, he might be able to get rid of me by talking me to death. Forget dying by a bullet or a heart attack, I'll die from boredom from his talking.'
"I don't remember saying you couldn't meet anyone from the Task Force Headquarters to verify my identity," said L as Light made a sound of surprise.
L continued, "I am currently working along side your father as well as several other senior detectives from the NPA. Now if I understand you correctly and I take you to Task Force Headquarters, you'll help us with the investigation. Am I safe in making this assumption?"
I could see Light's mind working over time in trying to make sense of L and his motives when the L's phone started ringing and then a second later Light's phone started ringing. L answered his phone, "Yes?" and Light answered his phone as well.
"Light it's your-"
"My father, he had a heart attack."
Even though I knew this was gonna happen, I couldn't help but feel a wave of worry in my stomach.
LL: Question Time~
Now I have a series of questions from...Luscil L.L who says, "I cried! Seriously! And go Naomi! Puy them in their place! I still dislike some of the Task Force even if they are trying to do "Justice". Its just they hardly knew Mizuki and they still treat her that way, thats why Naomi and watari are my favorite! And now what's gonna happen with miss and light when they find out about Mizuki? Her bring a criminal? Another thing where did shadow go? Did Naomi take him or something? L totally blushed! So cute Mizuki and L moment I fling Moe I want the Task force to apologize to Mizuki at some point cause they should! And will Mizuki be able to say what happened to her sister to the Task Force? They better apologize after, though its a thought Im starting to think that this may lead to something trouble some in the future for everyone of them in a not so nice Mizuki well if so they would need the luck they could any one got caught in her rather they need to run for it as if the devilweere coming"
Ok first when Misa and Light find out about her being a criminal Light will want to know her name so that he can try and get rid of her and Misa being Misa is nosy and will want to see her face for curiosity sake. And about Shadow well I don't know where he went for all I know he could still be hiding in L's hair, its very hard to tell the difference. Let's ask Mizuki!
Mizuki: I left Shadow back at my Hideout. It was hard getting him there he didn't want to leave L. He even pulled the kitty eyes on me and I'm the one that taught him that!
LL: So that's where he went... And well about Mizuki talking about what happened to her sister to the Task Force, Mizuki's a very angry person when it comes to her sister and if the Task Force mentions her sisters death, well hell will follow.
Well until next time! REVIEW!
