Faith-18
L-23
Faith was curled up on her couch listening to Sound of Music. They had settled into the new building a day ago and Faith was enjoying the days that were just for settling in because when Ryuzaki started working again she would be back in the daily grind.
She was disturbed by a knock on her door.
"Unless you bring a offering of popcorn or cake you are not welcome!" Faith called.
Moment later her door opened and two sets of steps approached her. A click and her movie went silent.
"Hey! I was listening to that!" She exclaimed, shooting into a sitting position.
"Yes and now your coming with us to do a double date with Misa and Light." Ryuzaki informed her.
Faith thought for a second before huffing out a soft laugh. Now that she knew Ryuzaki so much better she felt completely comfortable treating him like she treated Light.
"Hmm I don't think I want to go on a date...I believe that I'm gonna stay here. I doubt Misa will miss me." Faith mused.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to burst your bubble and inform you that I will be dragging you along with me." Ryuzaki informed her.
Faith gave a wicked grin.
"Make me." She challenged, getting comfortable on the couch.
A moment of silence.
Then much to Faith's shock and horror she felt two hands reach down and scoop her up and then proceeded to brace her over his shoulder, wrapping one arm around her legs quite firmly to keep her in place.
"What the heck?! Ryuzaki! Put me DOWN!" She howled.
"Hmm I'm afraid not. You said to make you so I am. To put you down would to cease making you and I can't do that." Ryuzaki announced. His voice was filled with mirth.
"...you suck."
Light snorted.
"This is awesome! Man I wish I could take a picture of this to remember." Light said, laughter breaking up his words.
Faith sighed and braced herself on Ryuzaki's shoulders so that she could rest her head on her hand while she was toted off for a date.
They stepped into the elevator and Ryuzaki continued to carry her over her shoulder instead of putting her down. She blew a strand of hair out of her face with a irritable puff.
He gave a soft snort of amusement. She felt herself getting carted down the hall until Light knocked on a door. The door was pulled open and Misa's cheerful voice echoed though the hall.
"It's time for the date! And...why are you carrying Faith over your shoulder like that?" Misa sounded both amused and confused.
"I was peacefully listening to Sound of Music when Ryuzaki came I and stopped the movie on me and carried me here." Faith told her grumpily.
"Uuuhh..ok then. Do you want to come in?" Misa asked.
"Yes, thank you Misa-san." L said with a hint of a smile in his voice.
Faith was then carried over to a couch and sat down. She heard Light and Ryuzaki take a seat on the couch across from her couch. She heard Misa take a seat next to her and then the sound of someone eating began.
Silence.
Awkward silence.
Extremely awkward silence.
"Um...this doesn't feel like a date at all." Misa stated.
"Pay no attention to me. By the way, will you be eating that cake?" Ryuzaki responded.
"Sweet's are fattening. No thanks..." Misa sniffed.
"If you use your head you can eat sweets without gaining weight though." He commented absently.
"Ah! Your making fun of me again! Fine, I'll give you the cake. So can Light and I be alone?" Misa wheedled.
"Even if your alone I'll still be watching on the monitors so it won't make any difference." Ryuzaki informed her.
"Why are you such a pervert! Stop these sick hobbies of yours!" Misa stormed.
"Call me whatever you wish but I'm still taking your cake." Ryuzaki responded blandly.
"Fine then when Light and I are alone I'll close the curtain and turn off all the lights." Misa sneered.
"There are infrared cameras too." He told her.
"Then we'll get under the covers. Right, Light?" She giggled suggestively.
"Whatever. We have this great facility now but you don't seem into it, Ryuzaki." Light pointed out.
"Whatever?! Meanie!"
Faith muffled a snort.
"Into it? Not really. I'm actually kind of depressed."
"Depressed?"
"Yes. For the longest time I thought you were Kira. I'm a little shocked that I was wrong. Well I still suspect you, thus the handcuffs. But Kira can control people's actions meaning Kira controlled you to make me think you were Kira." Ryuzaki said quietly.
Faith blinked. What the heck was he talking about? Was he just trying to confuse Light in case he gets his memories back again.
"Light-kun and Misa-san were controlled by Kira. If I assume that everything fits in my mind. The only thing I don't understand is why neither of you were killed. If you were being controlled and killed people without being aware of it then you were nothing more than pawns. That puts this investigation back at the beginning. If Kira too interest in you because you had access to police information and then controlled you to make you a suspect in my eyes. That's a pretty big shock to me, very frustrating., Ryuzaki admitted.
"Ryuzaki, with that line of thinking that means that while we're were bing controlled Misa and I were Kira's." Light argued.
"Yes. I don't think there's any mistake there, your both Kira's." Ryuzaki agreed.
A oppressive silence filled the room.
"I agree with Ryuzaki. I am completely certain that you both acted as Kira's for a time." Faith added.
"What?! Faith how could you say that? That means that you suspect me, your own brother as acting as Kira!" Light protested.
"I do, or I did at least. Think about it Light. Your behavior was normal until just after Kira rose, and not when it became public but after the first killing of the killer who held hostages at then nursery school. You were secretive and manipulative and always had a girl with you as your girlfriend of a sorts. You put on grand shows and made big promises that you would never had made when you were acting normal and then you flipped on me, shaking and screaming in my face when I told you I was dating Ryuzaki. All things that you never would have done before." Faith explained.
"But.."
"Then you set yourself up to be confined and while you were in confinement you did this about turn, reverting back to the Light you were before Kira's rise. While you were in confinement the killings stopped until after you changed again and lost that edge to you and then they started up again." She continued.
"Yes and following in that line of thinking Kira's powers can be passed from person to person. The second Kira's video even mentioned that Kira's powers could be shared." Ryuzaki added onto her train of thought.
"That's a interesting theory. If that's the case then solving this Kira case is going to be difficult." Light mused.
"Yes. This is why I'm depressed. You control people and make them kill criminals and then when their caught you transfer their abilities onto so,some else and then make that person lose their memories. This would make capture impossible." Ryuzaki told him.
"But that's not definite yet. There are still too many things that we don't understand about Kira. Come on, show some energy." Light tried to encourage him.
"Energy...?" Ryuzaki echoed apathetically.
"I'm just not feeling it, why even bother. Trying hard to go after him just puts us in danger, don't you agree? I've already thought I was going to die to many times already." Ryuzaki said softly.
Faith felt for the young detective. He had seen more of the dark side of humanity than most people and yet he had managed to hold on to his good cheer. This new development in the Kira case must have come as a harsh blow to him. She knew it had been hard for her. He deserved the break.
"Ryuzaki.." Light's voice had a dangerous quality that caused her head to shoot up.
"?"
There was the sound of a punch and then the table overturned as someone went flying across the living room.
"Ah!" Faith yelped as she scuttled across the couch away from the chaos. She felt her back press up against Misa.
"...ouch." Ryuzaki said.
"Don't be ridiculous! Just because I'm not Kira, just because you were wrong, you want to give up? You gonna sulk like a baby?" Light snapped.
"I may have worded it poorly but what I am saying is that continuing isn't going to get us anywhere so maybe we should stop." Ryuzaki explained.
Faith felt Misa stand but didn't move. She didn't want to step on a broken plate.
"What are you taking about? Unless we chase him Kira will never be caught! Who's the one who swore to send Kira to execution?! The police, the FBI, announcers, how many innocent people do you thing have been victimized? Your the ones who put Misa and I into confinement!" Light shouted.
"I understand that. But whatever the reason, once is once!" L snapped back and a thunk told her that a kick or punch had been landed.
Her irritation was short lived however when she was slammed into and off the couch and onto the floor by not one but two heavy bodies.
"Aaahh!" Faith let out a muffed scream.
Just as quickly as they had come the boys removed themselves from her and continued their fight. Faith began to steam. Narrowing her eyes in concentration she pinpointed their location and gave a shrill taxi cab whistle. When movement ceased she took a flying leap in their direction and sent them to the floor in a almighty tackle.
Landing on top of them they gave ooffs.
"Misa! Pin Light down!" She shouted, shifting sideways and pinning Ryuzaki to the floor.
She heard a squeal and Light give a wheeze as someone dropped their full weight onto him.
"Misa, I need you to pull Light to his feet on the count of three while I do the same for Ryuzaki." Faith ordered.
She rolled off the detective and then on three yanked him to his feet before gripping his ear between her thumb and forefinger and then doing to same to Light.
"Ow!" They exclaimed in sync.
"My apologies for the mess Misa. I will be sure to force these two back here to clean this up with a toothbrush." She informed the model cheerfully.
"Uh..."
Faith started to walk, dragging the boys behind her.
"If one of you steer me into the wall I'll twist your ear so hard that they'll hear the scream clear across Tokyo." She informed them as she dragged them out of the room.
They lead her to the elevators and without releasing their ears she followed them inside.
"Bring us up to the floor where everyone is gathered."
The elevator doors closed and she waited as they went down to the correct floor before she led them to where the men were sitting. She heard laugher as they approached and once they reached the desk she let go of their ears.
"Dad, do either of them need ice?"
"That might be a good idea. As well as some of that anti bruise/anti swell cream." Her dad told her, his voice laced with amusement.
"Somebody send for that stuff please."
Later that evening Faith was still standing up against the desk area as she had been for the past forty five minutes since there was no where for her to sit with several of the men plus Ryuzaki and Light using the available chairs.
Finally Faith decided to take action.
"Light?"
"Take four steps to your right and that's Ryuzaki's chair. I'm on the other side."
She followed his instructions, although she misjudged her place and walking right into Ryuzaki's chair. She heard him let out a startled exclamation and she instinctively grabbed his shoulder to steady him.
"Sorry." She muttered as she navigated around the chair until she felt a hand on her arm.
"?"
"Just me sis."
She followed his hand to his chair and reached around until she had a grip on his shoulder. She moved around his other side to avoid the handcuffs and then proceeded to drop down on his lap.
She heard one of the men gasp and Ryuzaki try to hide a snort of amusement.
"Why are you sitting on my lap?" Light didn't sound mad or uncomfortable, just amused.
"All the seats are gone and your the only person I can use as a seat." Faith told him, adjusting herself so that she was sitting sideways on his lap and could lean into his shoulder."
Light huffed in amusement.
"Last time I checked Ryuzaki was still your boyfriend."
"Yeah but he sits like a gargoyle. He's kind of difficult to use as a seat."
Light laughed again.
"You are ok with this right? If you want me to get off I will. I will just need someone to guide me to my room in that case. My cane was left behind when a certain someone felt the need to carry me to Misa's room like a sack of potatoes."
Faith felt Light wrap the arm behind her back loosely around her waist to keep her steady. "Nah, it's fine. You're really light and I'm a little chilly so extra body heat works perfect."
Faith smiled and relaxed against her brother, allowing her eyes to close as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Ryuzaki glanced at the clock and realized that over five hours had passed since the other men turned in for the night. He glanced over at Light and saw that he had given up on working and was watching some sort of violent show. He had put headphones on to keep from disturbing Faith who was peacefully sleeping in Light's lap.
"Light."
Light paused his show and looked over. "What?"
"We should turn in for the night. Let's go."
"As nice as that sounds Faith is asleep on me and I can't move without waking her up."
Ryuzaki stood and slouched over to Light before standing in front of Light's chair facing him head on. Ryuzaki reached down and slipped one arm under Faith's knees and the other around her back before lifting her up gently and cradling the sleeping girl to his chest.
Light raised a eyebrow and smirked before following L towards the elevator. The only person in the world who could make the great L act like a person instead of a machine was his twin sister. Go figure.
