Jessie's POV
I was bored. Frankly even watching as Light and Misa were told they were being taken to their execution didn't cheer me up. That said something about my mood.
"Jessie-chan, I haven't asked you for your theories on this matter. I would like to do so now." I nearly jumped out of my chair. That's what I got for being so relaxed.
"This matter being?"
"Light's captivity, Light being Kira in general."
I shrugged.
"Even if Light was Kira, then he isn't now."
L's eyes turned sharp.
"Explain"
"It's self explanatory L-kun." He stared at me for a long while. I tilted my head to the side and smirked. His stare relocated itself to the screen showing what was happening inside the car.
I heard the gunshot through the speakers. I pulled my chair up next to L's and grinned. This was good. Entertainment at last.
"Were you watching Ryuuzaki? I did exactly as you said and as you can see I'm still alive."
"Yes, it was a convincing performance. If Amane were the second Kira, who only needs to see a person's face to kill them, she would have killed you before you had the chance to fire your weapon. Also, if Light was in fact Kira, the Kira I know wouldn't hesitate to kill even his own father to save himself. With Light in particular I cannot rule out that he may have seen through our act at some point, however as we agreed I will end their confinement immediately. And as we discussed, Amane will remain under surveillance until Kira is apprehended. Although she insists the tapes we found were just cult videos, the evidence we have plus her confession suggests otherwise."
"Hey! No fair! You still suspect me!"
"Misa-chan," I said into the mike," If you are not the second Kira then you can think of it like having your own personal bodyguard. Plus, Matsui-kun is kind of cute. I'm sure there won't be many complaints."
"H-hey! Jessie-chan! Who says I'm going to be guarding Misa-Misa!"Stuttered Matsuda.
"You darling are the most logical choice. You aren't married, you have little to no social life, I think you'll end up Misa-chan's guard if L-kun is thinking the same way I am."
"Indeed. As for you Light-kun, you and I will be together twenty-four seven until Kira is brought to justice."
I refrained from making a comment about how I hoped Kira was going to be brought to me soon because I was getting bored with the whole ordeal.
"Fine by me. We'll catch Kira, together."
"Yes. I look forward to working with you."
….
I grinned as the handcuffs jingled.
"Are you sure this is necessary, Ryuuzaki?"
"This is as difficult for me as it is for you."
"I just wish Ryuuzaki-kun would let me take a photo. It would be blackmail material for later."
"Precisely why I'm not letting you take a picture Jessie-chan."
"So is this what you meant by being together twenty-four hours a day with him? Looking at you I never would have guessed. Are you on that side of the fence Ryuuzaki?"
"No Misa-chan. He's not, which is why it would make excellent blackmail material. Not only would I have a picture of his face, I'd also have a picture of him chained to an attractive guy."
"Oooh. I see. But I don't want to share Light with Ryuuzaki. If he's with Light twenty-four seven then how am I supposed to go on dates with him?"
"You can still go on dates but it'll have to be the three of us."
"No way! Are you telling me we have to kiss in front of you and stuff!"
"I'm not telling you to do anything, but yes I suppose I would be watching."
"That's so gross! You really are a pervert aren't you?"
"Light, please make Misa stop talking now." begged L.
"Listen Misa that's enough. The police have already established that it was you who sent those tapes so you're lucky to even be here right now. You could still be in prison."
"How could you even say that Light! In case you forgot I'm your girlfriend! Don't you trust your own soul mate?" Light looked a little stunned.
"I'll tell you what Misa." Said Maki-san," Jessie-chan can go with you on all of your dates as Ryuuzaki's girlfriend and you can make it a double date."
I was shocked speechless. She did not just do that to me. I looked at her for a moment, she was smiling softly. She did just do that to me. And she enjoyed it too.
"And Misa, you were the one who approached me and told me you fell in love with me at first sight." Interjected Light
"But why would you kiss me if you didn't have feelings for me? You took advantage of me? Stupid, stupid ,stupid ,stupid!"
"About this love at first sight. It happened at Aoyama on May twenty second didn't it?"
"So what?"
"Why did you choose that day to go to Aoyama? And do you remember what you wore?"
"It's like I told you. I just happened to go there. I don't know why. I don't remember how I felt. And I don't even know what I was wearing. Anyway, since when did I need a reason to hang out in Aoyama, huh?"
"And somehow when you came back from Aoyama you knew you had fallen in love with some guy and his name was Light?"
"Yes."
"And you yourself have no idea how you came to know his name?"
"Yeah? So what?"
"Tell me, what if Light was Kira? How would it make you feel?"
"Huh? How would I feel if Light was Kira?"
"That's right."
Misa clasped Light's arm."That'd be wonderful.I mean I've always been grateful to Kira for punishing the man who murdered my parents. Though, there are those other kinds of criminals too. Those I'm sad for, but I'd support Light no matter what!"
"Other kind of criminals Misa-chan?"Asked L
"The kinds with families to support. Or only did what they did to protect someone or earn money to help their kids. Those kinds of criminals."
"I see. It's Kira though, you would support Light even if he was Kira. Wouldn't that scare you though? He could kill you after all."
"You're talking about Light being Kira? He wouldn't be scary at all. I'm a supporter of Kira so if I found out my Light was actually him, I'd think about all the ways I could be helpful." L's eyes narrowed
"That's very generous of you but I'm sure Kira doesn't need your help."
Misa giggled."Silly Ryuuzaki. I'd only help Kira if it were Light. I'd support his decisions if it were someone else, but if it wasn't Light, my help wouldn't be worth it."
"Well Misa, based on what you just told me there can be no mistake that you are the second Kira, and it increases my suspicion of Light as Kira himself. However based on what you said as well as something Jessie-chan told me while you were in the car with Yagami-san, I can conclude that you are not Kira now. As it seems you have no memories of having done anything wrong."
Misa stuck her tongue out.
"Anyway, for the time being you'll be under surveillance. If you do need to go out you'll be able to contact us using this rooms' extension. For the most part you're life will return to normal but from now on for all private and work affairs you can go through Mr. Matsuda. He will be accompanying you as your new manager under the name Matsui. The agency has been paid to keep quiet and the police don't know. Don't blow his cover."
"This old guy's my manager? Oh, you can't be serious."
"Come on! What's wrong with me Misa-Misa? Is it the tie? 'Cause I can g-"
"Agggh! Would you cut it out with all this dating, kissing, and Misa-Misa talk already! This is the Kira investigation! Stop messing around!"Snapped Aizawa after he slammed his hands down of the coffee table.
I slipped out of the room at Matsuda apologized. I had to find Maki-san. She had disappeared a while ago and I needed to tell her not to try to test out her matchmaking skills on myself and L. Or at least not do so until after Kira was caught and L was still alive.
