After everyone returned to the room, Hikari was introduced to the other task force members, Tota Matsuda, Shuichi Aizawa, and Kanzo Mogi. After the brief introduction they worked on a series of observations. "Watari, please turn on the monitors," Ryuuzaki spoke.
"Yes," the computer before him spoke.
The monitor suddenly came on revealing what they were observing. Hikari stared at the screen, "Light?" she turned to L, "L—err, Ryuuzaki, what's this all about?" she asked. He didn't answer, but instead kept watching the screen. Before him, on the table, were three microphones as well as his usual pile of sweets. Hikari sighed and remained quiet, watching the screens as well.
Other than Light, two more people were confined as well. Misa Amane, who was suspected of being the second Kira and Light's father, Soichiro Yagami, confined out of concern of what he would do if Light was in fact convicted.
As the observations continued, Misa began talking about a stalker and wanting to take a bath and get a new change of clothes. She seemed to have absolutely no idea why she was being confined.
'Is this girl really this ignorant?' Hikari thought to herself, listening to Misa's constant rambling. She looked to Ryuuzaki who seemed un-phased by anything going on around him. He just sat there, emotionless, like a lifeless doll. 'Can he possible be human? All he does is sit there and stare at the screen. It's as if he's in his own little world.'
"This just keeps getting weirder and weirder," Aizawa said as he and Matsuda discussed the situation.
Ryuuzaki remained quiet, his thumb placed against his lips as he tried to concentrate on where to go from this point. He needed a confession, but so far wasn't getting anywhere. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard his name being called. "Ryuuzaki," it was Light. "Have there been any new criminals reported? If so, has Kira killed any of them?" he asked.
Ryuuzaki pressed a switch on the middle microphone to speak to Light, "In fact, quite a few criminals' names have been broadcast recently, but since you've been detained we haven't had one report of a criminal being killed by Kira," he told him.
"No one's been killed? Not a single one?" Light responded acting surprised. Hikari saw right through it. She already knew he was Kira, so there was no need to believe his innocence card.
"I see, so it's only a matter of time before I am convicted as Kira," Light said, closing his eyes as he sat on the bed placed in solitary confinement.
Seventh day of confinement
Hikari sat there, bored out of her mind. To keep her entertained, she watched Kaito stare at all the sweets on the table, trying to find a way to sneak a treat away without anyone noticing. He would growl and carry on with whimpers, practically begging for something sweet.
"You're enjoying this torture, aren't you?" Kaito asked Hikari. She gave him a faint smile which faded away before anyone turned toward her direction. Her gaze returned to the screen as she began to wonder about the end results. Would Light be convicted? If so, would she be charged for knowing the whole time? She sighed as her eyes looked to the ground.
Ryuuzaki's eyes shifted to her, quickly noticing her stress. His eyes left her and looked back upon the screen as he tried to figure something out. He pressed the switch to speak to Light.
"Light, you've only been here for one week and I'm sure it can't be easy. Are you feeling alright?" he asked, seeing him just sit there on the screen. His face held an emotionless expression as he was facing the floor.
He looked up, "Yeah, I know I must look pretty bad in here with this useless pride. I suppose I'll have to abandon it," he said.
"Ah, I understand now," Hikari heard Kaito say as he watched the screen. Hikari looked from him to the screen, not understanding what Kaito meant.
She looked at Light, noticing a change in his eyes. They appeared innocent as if he was unaware of what was happening. Ryuuzaki quickly noticed this as well, "Huh?"
Light looked around at his surroundings, then to the camera. His behavior suddenly changed as he begged Ryuuzaki to release him from confinement. The others were surprised by the sudden shift in Light, not really sure what was going on. He was contradicting himself and began shouting random theories out to Ryuuzaki in attempts to prove his innocence.
Hikari listened to him, not really sure what was going on with him. 'He can't be telling the truth because I know for a definite fact that he is Kira . . . yet, he still seems innocent, as if he isn't Kira, but wait?- Arg! I'm confusing myself,' Hikari thought, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation.
Even L was confused by Light's new actions. Something was off, but he seemed as if he was actually telling the truth. 'What's wrong with you, Light Yagami? What you're saying is completely absurd, but for some reason it feels believable to me,' he thought.
Ryuuzaki sat there, looking at the screen, trying hard to figure out what was going on. He placed his thumb on his lips, concentrating hard.
A few days later, the team received reports that Kira had struck again. Matsuda, eager to let the chief know, ran over to the microphone and told him. This bit of news made Mr. Yagami feel a bit better, believing that Light wasn't Kira; however, he then remembered that it probably wouldn't be enough for Ryuuzaki to clear him.
Hikari and the other investigators looked to Ryuuzaki. He looked at them then replied, "Well, he's in the grey." Satisfied with Ryuuzaki's reply, Mr. Yagami felt a lot better about the situation.
"Let's tell Light," Matsuda said, reaching toward the switch. Ryuuzaki quickly slapped his hand away.
"Matsuda! I mean, please don't Mr. Matsuda. We shouldn't let him know about this," Ryuuzaki spoke.
"B-but why not?" Matsuda asked.
Without an answer, Ryuuzaki pressed the switch to speak to Light. He informed him that no criminals had been killed and that he was better off confessing rather than making this difficult.
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm telling you, you're wrong. I understand why you feel that way, but even if the evidence does point to me, I swear to you that this is a set up! I am not Kira!!" He shouted, denying the accusations against him, "Zoom in on me if you want. Go ahead, look at my eyes. You tell me, do these look like the eyes of someone who is lying?" Light asked.
He then switched to Misa, asking her if she was ready to reveal Kira's identity or not. She told him she didn't know and went on to say that if she did that she would thank him for killing the murderer of her parents. She believed deep in her heart that Kira was a hero.
Ryuuzaki looked to the screens, confused. He wasn't sure what he should do next and it was beginning to bug him. 'I don't understand what's going on here,' he thought, his dark eyes focusing on the screen.
Aww, poor L is confused. Anyway, that wraps up chapter fourteen. Review and thanks for reading :D
