Wow I must be completely bored this weekend hehe. Here's the latest chapter enjoy!


Chapter Twelve: Aoyama

"So the second Kira sent a diary to broadcast on TV?" Shawn asked as he played Pac Man.

"Why not just send another video?" Gus asked.

"Maybe she got tired of making them," Natalie offered.

"I don't think that's important right now. What matters are these dates and the events," Mr. Monk said.

"The thirtieth we confirmed our Shinigami at the Giants game at the Tokyo Dome. Well this person is really smart," Shawn said sarcastically.

"No I think it's a decoy. Nobody's that stupid," Mr. Monk said.

"What do you think Light?" Ryuzaki asked.

"For now all I can say is that this person is stupid," Light answered.

"Exactly doesn't the person know that once we broadcast this the game will be cancelled?" Matsuda reasoned.

"Which is why there's probably another message in the diary...see if it mentions eyes in any of the entries," Mr. Monk said.

"Frankly it seems idiotic but...that also makes it difficult to react to...let's broadcast the diary and announce the game is cancelled. Then we'll create another message from 'Kira' saying 'understood let's meet'," Ryuzaki said.

"You don't think they'll actually come?" Yagami asked.

"I don't think Kira will show but I'm not sure how stupid the second Kira is," Ryuzaki said, "however, let's assume Mr. Monk is right and the second Kira isn't that stupid. On the twenty second my friend and I showed off our notebooks in Aoyama. The twenty fourth I met a friend in Shibuya. We bought some clothes to wear this summer..."

"If anything, it has to be the twenty second," Mr. Monk said, "we showed off our notebooks...it's being used just as the term 'Shinigami' was in the previous message."

"Ooo! Can I go to Aoyama! Me, Matsui, and Bud!" Shawn exclaimed.

"Hilary and I could go as well," Mr. Monk said.

"Mr. Brown I don't think that's such a good idea, you're too..." Natalie began.

"What? Too what? I'm cool..." Mr. Monk said.

"I think you two better stay here..." Ryuzaki said.

"I'll go too," Light said. Shawn immediately rejected the idea.

"No, no, that's okay. Three people are plenty," Shawn said.

"You two will stick out though since you're American," Light pointed out.

"...Fine..." Shawn said. There was no doubt Light wanted to go since he was Kira. Shawn figured he and Gus could do some snooping around.

"Also I want you all to destroy any photographs of yourself excluding your I.D.'s. The second Kira only needs a face to kill and we are all in potential danger if the second Kira and the real Kira come into contact with one another," Ryuzaki said.

"But we don't have to right...I mean all our pictures are in America...I don't think Kira is going to go to America to find our pictures..." Gus said.

"Only get rid of the ones you have with you," Ryuzaki said, "Just as a precaution. You may want to dispose any pictures of your loved ones as well."

Monk

"Okay Mr. Monk how about this one?" Natalie asked as she showed him one of his pictures from his suitcase.

"No, that one has Trudy in it. I can't throw it out," Mr. Monk.

"But Mr. Monk what if the second Kira finds this picture and kills you?" Natalie asked.

"I can't do it."

"But I threw out all of my pictures with Julie."

"This is different."

"But you can keep the others ones with Trudy in them."

"I'm in hardly any of the pictures as it is...I'll just hold onto this one." Mr. Monk took the picture and tried to put it in his pocket but it didn't fit. He attempted to fold the picture but he just couldn't do it. Too many folds disrupting the picture.

"Here you hold onto it," Mr. Monk said.

"Mr. Monk I don't think it's such a good idea..." Natalie said, "Ryuzaki will you talk to him?"

"Huh?" Ryuzaki said looking up from his cake.

"Tell Mr. Monk he has to throw out the pictures of himself."

"Mr. Monk we're taking safety precautions. You have to dispose any pictures of yourself," Ryuzaki answered as he took a piece of cake.

"Well I could have done that..." Natalie said, "Mr. Monk please..."

"..I can't..." Mr. Monk said as he shook his head.

"What does the picture contain?" Ryuzaki asked as he looked over at the two.

"It's a picture of him and his wife," Natalie answered.

"...You'll probably want to get rid of it then. You don't want the second Kira finding a picture of your wife," Ryuzaki said.

"My wife ...died eight years ago..." Mr. Monk said. Ryuzaki didn't respond to this comment mainly because he didn't know how.

"Come on Mr. Monk why don't we have lunch?" Natalie offered, seeing the awkwardness.

Natalie stared at Mr. Monk as he made himself a sandwich. Maybe she shouldn't have offered the idea of lunch. Mr. Monk threw away another piece of bread.

"What was wrong with that one?" she asked.

"It wasn't up to snuff...it has to be snuff..." Mr. Monk said as he attempted to cut another piece of bread.

"But this is the second loaf of bread you've gone through," Natalie said. Who would have known it was possible to take thirty minutes to make a sandwich.

"I'm almost done," Mr. Monk said, "There we go...this is snuff." Mr. Monk placed the piece of bread on top of the sandwich. He then took the sandwich and threw it out.

"Why did you throw it out?" Natalie asked.

"I'm not hungry anymore," Mr. Monk answered. The two walked out of the kitchen and back to where Ryuzaki was sitting. On the table in front, there was a small suitcase. Ryuzaki looked up at them.

"Did you enjoy your lunch?" he asked them.

"Not exactly..." Natalie said. Ryuzaki opened the suitcase to reveal nothing.

"Here you can put your pictures in here," Ryuzaki said, "It will remain locked with Watari until we solve the case."

"See Mr. Monk, Ryuzaki took care of it. I only wish I didn't throw out those pictures of Julie already..." Natalie said as she began to help Mr. Monk put his pictures in the small, black suitcase. Mr. Monk kept one of his pictures of Trudy out of the suitcase. Ryuzaki closed the suitcase and locked it with a key.

"I'll give this to Watari later," Ryuzaki explained, "Now Mr. Monk I want to hear your thoughts on the Kira case so far."

"Light is definitely the guy. I don't know how he's doing it...but he's the guy. I mean all the evidence pointed to him until we put him under surveillance. It's just as you said, at first the killings seemed to happen in a time frame of a student. And we know Light could have gotten information from the police since his father is the chief. Then there's that thing with the potato chips. He's smart enough to be Kira. And he wanted to go to Aoyama even though there was enough people. The message with the Shinigami was obviously a decoy. I'm ninety five percent sure he's the guy. All we need is evidence."

Psych

Shawn and Gus got out of their car. Matsuda and Light were waiting for them. Shawn and Gus had sunglasses on thinking that would make them safe from the second Kira.

"Hey guys!" Shawn said.

"This way," Light said as he directed them to another group of people. Shawn recognized some of them that he had attempted to get digits from back at the college. Some of them he succeeded. Now this would have been the time where all Shawn did was flirt with the ladies but he was on an important mission.

"Now remember Gus we're on the look out for notebooks," Shawn said so the others couldn't hear.

"Or Shinigami," Gus said.

"...Enough with the Death God stuff!" Shawn said.

The small group walked through the streets of Aoyama. Shawn and Gus desperately searched for something to do with a notebook but were unsuccessful.

"Hey wait Shawn, look over there," Gus said, "Note Blue."

"Close enough," Shawn said. He turned his attention to the window of the club. Out of the corner of his eye, Shawn could see that hardly anyone was there. He did notice one girl sitting by herself at a table. She seemed to be looking out the window. Shawn quickly scanned her with his photographic memory and continued to walk on.

Within a few moments, the group then passed a candy shop.

"Oh! Dude we have so got to go in there," Shawn said as he ran into the store. Gus followed.

"Shawn! What are you doing? We're going to get separated," Gus said.

"Eh who cares? We already found the second Kira," Shawn said as he looked around at all the sweets.

"What do you mean?"

"That girl in the Blue Note. She's probably the second Kira. I mean the girl happens to go into a club called the Blue Note and then she happens to be looking out the window like she's looking for someone. Coincidence?"

"I don't think so," Gus answered, "Well we have to tell you know who then."

"We could do that...or we could keep the information to ourselves."

"Why would we do that?"

"Oh come on Gus you don't think Ryu is keeping information from us?"

"No I don't."

"Well either way once we announce this information to everyone else with my psychic abilities, he'll know."

"This isn't right."

"Well it's either that or we tell him and then he tells Light. You know he's going to tell him. And then we're screwed...once Light finds out the second Kira they'll join forces...now help me pick out some candy."

"For what?"

"For Ryu of course...okay ...you know what let's just take at least one of everything," Shawn said as he began taking one of each piece of candy.

"And you think this is going to compensate for holding back information?"

"...No I just figured he'd want some candy..." Shawn answered, "and besides I'm not even completely sure. For all we know, she could be some normal girl waiting for her boyfriend to show up or something. If I was positive, then I would tell Ryu."

"No you wouldn't Shawn."

"...Gus! How can you think so ill of me?"

"Well it's the truth."

"You're right. Now what should I do to present this information? Maybe a sort of crouching tiger...or an eagle..."

OoOoOoOoO

"Hey guys!" Shawn exclaimed once more as he and Gus returned from Aoyama. He practically threw the huge bag of candy on the table in front of Ryuzaki. Ryuzaki stared at it for a moment.

"What is it?" Ryuzaki asked gesturing to the bag.

"It's candy. We felt kind of bad that you couldn't come," Shawn said.

"It's nice to see that you got us something," Natalie said.

"Well we would have but we used all our money on the candy..." Gus said.

"Yeah well five bucks says that candy isn't going to last a day," Shawn said.

"You're on."

"No...Gus is right..." Mr. Monk said as he placed his hand over the bag of candy, "There's six hundred and seventy six pieces in the bag...Ryuzaki normally has two hundred pieces of candy a day give or take..."

"Okay, I'll bet you ten bucks that you're wrong," Shawn said.

"I don't gamble..."

"I do. Fifty dollars says Mr. Monk is right," Natalie said.

"It's a bet then," Shawn replied.
