Thoughts
Light could feel his whole shake in a rhythm and he could hear some harsh whispering, however he couldn't make out what it said. His mind hadn't fully woken up yet and honestly, he just wanted to go back to sleep. Staying up till 2am writing in the Deathnote was not the best thing to do it seemed. [1] He had been so tired this past week. The shaking, however, persisted and eventually he let out a groan before blinking his eyes a few times. He could see a blurred figure in his vision and the black hair made him assume it was Sayu, however he wasn't sure what she would need.
"Sayu?" he said groggily as he rubbed his eyes.
He heard a small pitched chuckle and instantly froze. That was not Sayu. He moved his hand from his eyes and sat up to indeed see a girl in front of him, but it was not Sayu. Oh no. This girl wore a black hoodie with equally black jeans and had a red streak in her hair. Her lip also had a small piercing. Her lips were full and painted red and Light looked down to see her nails were the same color. She was smirking at him. Could this be some crazed fangirl from his school? [2]
"Hello, Kira." she said and let loose another chuckle.
Light was now panicking on the inside, but his external appearance never changed except for his eyes widening. Light heard a loud laugh coming from near the window and his panic just soared. Why was Ryuk laughing like that? Who is this girl and how am I going to keep her quiet?! I already have the Second Ki-. Light instantly knew who he was dealing with. The Second Kira! Of course! This must be her! This will be easy. She already seems to want to obey me though; I would really like to know how she found where I live. [3]
Light's eyes narrowed back to their original size and he gave her a charming smile.
"The Second Kira, I assume?" he said and he too smirked.
However, the girl began to giggle and had to control herself. What is so funny? The girl clutched her sides and smiled. Ryuk's laughing also increased. What is going on?! Finally, the girl recovered from her laughing fit and looked back at Light.
"Then, you assume wrong." she said.
Light blinked. This isn't the Second Kira?! Then, who the hell is she?
"Who are you then?" he asked and the girl's grin grew larger.
"I am the Third Kira."
Light kept his disposition calm this time as he processed this new information. So, she's the Third Kira? Well, if she strived to find me then, she obviously is pretty much the same as the Second Kira albeit smarter.
"The Third Kira, ne? Then, tell me how Kira kills, girl." he said and sneered.
He just had to make sure.
"The Deathnote of course. Dropped by a shinigami into the human world for a human to pick up. Anyone whose name is written in the note shall die." she said and gave a victory smirk.
Light nodded. So, she was the real deal. Light stood from the bed and dusted himself off. He stretched and gave a small yawn and looked the girl over. She didn't seem like much though. Just another minion to serve under her God.
"So, let me see your Deathnote." he said as he gave her a smile.
She continued smirking.
"I'd actually like to see yours first." she said.
Light once again froze up. That didn't sound like someone willing to serve you. Light grimaced and his eyes narrowed.
"Why should I show you mine first?" he asked.
"Even though I know my plan to find Kira was fool-proof I'd still like some proof that you are indeed, Kira. What better way than to show me your Deathnote?" she explained.
Light didn't like this Third Kira. She held a sense of arrogance of her own and she was indeed smarter than the Second Kira. However, what he really didn't like was how she seemed to think they were somehow equals. Just the way she talked showed him that's how she thought. This girl had also made him freeze up twice in one night. Light really didn't like this girl.
"A compromise then? We'll both pull out our Deathnotes at the same time and each touch each others Deathnotes at the same time. Deal?" he asked.
The girl grinned.
"Deal."
Light still frowned as he walked over to his desk and retrieved the small piece of pencil lead from the cup on his desk. He made sure his back was in front of the draw so, the girl couldn't see before he placed the lead into the small hole underneath the draw. It lifted up the fake bottom of the draw and Light snatched the Deathnote out of it. He shut the draw and put the lead back into the cup.
He turned around to see the girl was clutching her hoodie and he instantly knew she had her Deathnote in her pocket. He made his way over to stand in front of her and she pulled her jacket out and grabbed the notebook out of her pocket. She smiled at him and he scowled.
"Okay, now I'll put my Deathnote out and you out yours out at the same time. With our unoccupied hands we'll touch each others books. Okay?" he said through gritted teeth.
"Okay." she said and nodded.
Light slowly held the Deathnote out and had it flipped to the front cover to show the crudely drawn white letters on the front that spelled Deathnote. The girl also held hers out and he noticed hers had the Japanese kanji writing that spelled Deathnote instead of English, but it was still printed in very bad handwriting. When the Deathnotes were held out and their sides were right next to each other, they both brought out their empty hands and reached out to touch the other's Deathnote.
As soon as their hands were right next to the other's Deathnote, they both stared at each other for what seemed like ages before finally they both thrust their hands out and grazed the Deathnotes' covers. Then, their fingers touched the sandpaper like covers and they both smirked at each other.
Light looked all around the room for the girl's shinigami and finally saw him standing by the window next to a still chuckling Ryuk. He was leaning against the window and had his arms crossed over his chest. His clothes were similar to Ryuk's, but his skin was pale and webbed. Also, unlike Ryuk's yellow eyes, this shinigami had deep onyx ones. Well, at least she was telling the truth.
Kuro immediately turned towards the window after she touched Kira's notebook. There next to Isamu was another shinigami. Ryuk. His clothes almost matched Isamu's, but their physical features were what really separated them. Ryuk's skin was dark and had patches of blue here and there and his eyes were a bright yellow and not deep at all. His hair was black and stuck up a bit and on one of his ears was a heart shaped earing. Ryuk was desperately trying to hold in his chuckling, but clearly failing. Kuro smiled. They're polar opposites. [4]
She turned back to Light.
"That is Isamu and don't worry. I know that your shinigami is named Ryuk." she said as she retracted her hand with the Deathnote in it and pulled it to her chest.
Light couldn't believe this girl. She was just something else. How does she know Ryuk's name? All those questions could be answered later though. Right now he needed to find out if this girl was useful or just another name to write down in the Deathnote. I'm not sure which I prefer. Keeping her or killing her.
[1] Neither is staying up reading fanfiction, but we all do it.
[2] Like Takada?
[3] Remember? Crazy fangirl? They will find you.
[4] Yet, somehow they're friends.
Author's Note: There is the long awaited meeting! I hope this kinda long chappie makes up for my disappearance last weekend. Hopefully, I'll be able to update next weekend as planned. If not, though know that I would never abandon a story. That is just not my style. I will finish it.
Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed! Now for the RQOTD!
RQOTD: Was Light in character?
I think we've had this question before, but I don't think I got him right. Please tell me what you think!
Leave me an answer in a review or PM!
Bye-Bye!
*Sighs as she finally finishes this chappie*
