On the 22nd, Light and Matsuda decided to meet in front of Toudai University, after classes. On the same day, Yvonne got ready to tail them. She didn't have to necessarily follow them closely. She only had to rely on her skills as a detective. She didn't use disguises or any spying techniques. Those didn't work for that kind of situation. She only had to look normal and fit in with the crowd.
She tried to listen on the conversation with her heightened senses but those students were talking about bullshit. Anywhere in the world, students were still the same. The girls were talking to Light as if he was the next movie star. He was handsome, indeed, but sincerely, D had other tastes. She accepted that she liked weird guys, like B. If it wasn't for the circumstances, they would have had probably ended up together. But life sucked and they couldn't change their destinies, therefore B died.
The tail was getting awfully boring when D decided to take a break. She entered the closest coffee shop and bought herself a black coffee. She needed all the caffeine she could get. While waiting for her order, she scanned the perimeter. It was a nice day and a lot of students were in Aoyama. Her eyes trailed over love birds, introverts and creepily happy people. She didn't see anything suspicious.
She walked out with a big sigh. The whole process of following the two around Aoyama was in vain. Light was acting normally and Matsuda was trying too hard to fit in. She leaned on the showcase of the store and bit the inside of her check.
As Light and Matsuda were walking past the shop on the other side, she couldn't stop the feeling of evil. Even if it wasn't big, it was still there. She stayed there, waiting for them to walk further and after that, her eyes went directly to the glass window. There, in all its glory, was a Shinigami. While sipping from her drink, Yvonne's eyes reddened gradually. She smirked and got her eyes back to normal.
"You got yourself a pretty puppet, didn't you Kira?" She chuckled for herself and drank the whole cup of coffee. She threw it in the recycle can and went home. Her job was done in Aoyama.
Later that day, she actually came up with a brilliant idea. Ryuk was right. She couldn't stop the feelings of pride towards Light. She could see a glimpse of herself in him and he had great potential. Of course, if L or the police officers were to hear her opinion, they were for sure going to judge her harshly. But, she did have a wicked personality and even if she was trying to hold it in, she was a demon under the façade of a weird young detective.
So, Yvonne decided to pay a visit to the Yagami household. She had seen it before, when she got lost, so all she had to do was find the right house on the alley. It wasn't really a hard task. She was a detective and Chief Yagami's address was in the police database. That was enough.
When she was just walking around the corner, she saw two people a few feet in front of her. She raised an eyebrow and waited. She leaned on the building and crossed her arms in front of her chest. It was quite pitiful. The only people on the street were fighting and possibly breaking up. Such a shame; humans whine when it doesn't go accordingly to their plan yet they also whine when their lives are going wonderfully.
Yvonne made her way to the Yagami household and tidied her appearance. She couldn't look like someone suspicious. She rang the bell twice until a warm looking lady opened the door. She checked Yvonne out and smiled kindly, eventually.
"Excuse me but I am looking for Light Yagami. Is he home?" She used her most innocent and nice tone and facial expression. Somewhere deep in her soul, it hurt. Somewhere in the Shinigami Realm, someone was laughing at her. She was sure of that.
"Are you a friend of Light's?" Yvonne smiled and nodded. The lady, who was Light's mother, let her inside and shouted after her son. He didn't respond. He was most probably killing someone at the moment with his Death Note. He was too busy and wasn't supposed to be interrupted.
"I am Light's classmate. We go to the same University" Mrs Yagami smiled kindly and invited Yvonne in the kitchen. She practically made the young detective sit at the table and talk. It was a lot like an interrogatory.
"And for how long have you been talking? Light never talks about this kind of stuff; he is probably embarrassed. He grew up so fast" It definitely sounded like a proud mother. If only she knew the truth about her son.
"We met at the beginning of this year. I am from France so Light helped me a lot with my Japanese. He has been a great help for me" Inside her head, she really wanted to throw up. It was too cute for her. It was unbelievably hard to maintain a nice façade.
"That is so nice of him. But, that sounds like Light. He is very smart and kind. I am sure he is very popular at school. He has always been. However, I never heard him talk about a girl before. You are the first girl who came and asked for him" She blinked a few times and sighed.
Thankfully, the savior made his appearance. In just a blink of an eye, Yvonne was on her feet and right next to Light. Her smile was slowly losing the kindness and she nudged Light to help her and just go into his room.
"Mom, this is Yvonne. She is a friend from university. We'll be working on a project in my room so please don't disturb us" Mrs Yagami nodded happily and waved to D.
Once in Light's room, D fell on his bed and dramatically sighed.
"How can people be so nice? How can you keep that nice act all the time? I am exhausted" Light didn't respond. He sat on the chair and patiently waited for her to roll around so they could actually have a conversation. She did a few minutes after she finished whining.
"Why did you come to my house? Did Ryuuzaki send you?" She scrunched her nose and shook her head. She crossed her legs and leaned back on her hands.
"No. I found the second Kira" Light's eyes widened for a fraction of a second. It could have been easily missed if it wasn't for her perceptive ability. "Guess what? She is a girl" Light's mind was probably over thinking everything. He had to make a new plan.
"Did you tell L about this?" She bit her lip and shook her head.
"I can't tell L a lot of things. For example, I can't tell L that you are Kira" She emphasized the two aliases. It was the truth, though.
"Why not?" Light was very curious who she was and what was she doing with L. He didn't care that much about L's past how much he was interested in her past. Yvonne chuckled and shook her finger.
"Because then, I won't be able to enjoy your Kira game, Light. I don't want that to happen. I prefer to be down here, participating, than up there, just watching" Ryuk started to laugh and fly around the room.
I told you she is fun, Light
"How do you know Ryuk?" She shrugged.
The truth was that she didn't even remember how and when did they become acquainted. They just did at some point.
"We just met one day and found out that we have a lot in common" Ryuk started to laugh louder. He jumped on the bed, behind her, and patted her head.
"And how did you get your Shinigami Eyes?" Yvonne shrugged again.
It wasn't like she wanted them. It just happened that when she remembered her past, she woke up one morning with red eyes and a mix of abilities she didn't have before.
"I was born with them. There are two people who were born with Shinigami Eyes and you already killed one of them. Now, there is just me" She rubbed her chin and though about it. "At least, I think so"
It wasn't something exact. She couldn't say for sure that she and B where the only ones born with that curse.
"Can I ask my own set of questions, now?" Light's eyebrows furrowed. He looked annoyed but D was enjoying the situation too much. She rubbed her neck and crossed her legs ladylike. "Why did you pick up the Death Note?"
Light looked a little out of character. Of course, his face expression didn't change but something around him looked softer. He was gradually letting his nice act drop.
"I didn't know what it was. I felt a force pulling me towards it and no one was bothering to pick it up. Why not me?" She chuckled.
"Exactly. If people don't take the crime rate seriously, then why not take the problem into your own hands, right? You posses the power of a God; you choose who lives and who dies" Light raised an eyebrow and chuckled. It sounded forced and quite weird; more like he was chocking.
"And what if I did that? The world needs me. I will create a better environment for those who are scared and innocent. If you are from the Interpol as my father told me, then you should know. There are thousands of victims all around the world who can't fight for themselves and can't save their lives. I want to save them. Kira is the new law of the 21st century" His little speech got him fired up. That was obvious. He got on his feet and started to walk around the room. It looked like he was giving his winning speech.
"You are right. You are the law of the 21st century. But let me tell you something. You are still a child. You kill the people who are in prison not criminals. You should make your homework right, Light. You may as well kill the people you call scared and innocent. There are victims even in prison. I know that because I saved some of them. The conspiracy is all around the world. You can't fight back by sentencing whoever you believe is guilty to death. You know why? Because not every one of them is guilty"
Light glared at her. She could seriously see the venom into his eyes. He was blinded by the power and he didn't want to recognize it. He was just a kid.
"You don't know anything" She chuckled and walked to him.
She grabbed his arm and kicked behind his right knee. He lost his balance and D threw him on the chair. She leaned really close to his face and her eyes became red.
"I know a lot more than you may imagine. I had lived through what you are living now. I didn't have a Death Note but I did have one stubborn personality. I trained mentally and physically for my purpose and I did my homework. You are not a God. You are a selfish little kid who wants to live in a safe world. You think you can transform the bad in good. That is impossible. Without evil there is no good. You are fighting for death not for life. You should remember that"
Yvonne's irises were dilated and her eyes were getting even redder. They didn't look like the Shinigami Eyes anymore; they looked like a demon's eyes. He could see an incredible bloodlust into them. He could see glimpses of Hell into her eyes. It was scary and intimidating but he wasn't just a normal boy. No, he was much more. He pushed her away quite harshly yet she didn't stumble.
"We'll see that, won't we?" He was too smug and that infuriated D. He was too sure of his skills and was ignoring one little detail that he needed for his purpose: humanity.
When she arrived at the hotel, she went directly into her room. There was no one in the hall, thankfully. She dressed into her pajamas and went directly to bed. She couldn't sleep; she was scared to sleep. Therefore, she grabbed the phone and called someone important to her.
"Hello? Roger, how are the children?"
She talked on the phone for a few hours. She asked about the orphans at Wammy's and about the financial issues. Roger didn't like children, moreover her, but after he saw her growing into such a nice lady, he choose to help her. At first it was a secret but after B's first attempt to run away, it became something normal. Monthly, she was getting a call from Roger telling her the news about the orphans. She tried to help as much as she could.
