Chapter 29: Hospitable


"And what will you be ordering ma'am?" My fingers tapped one after the other on the table that I had found in the back of the cafe so I could see L and Light clearly but they couldn't see me and I could hear them even if it was a pretty secluded spot; and since I was wearing my hooded jacket with the hood on I was invisible.

"Just get me a glass of chocolate milk, that will be all for now." I said politedly as the waiter walked away with a huff.

Licking my lips I strained my ears to listen; the first thing I heard was Ryuk's weird laugh.

"Hey Light, looks like he's got you up against the wall. This isn't like you, buddy." I could just see Light picking up his drink and drinking from it with closed eyes carefully plotting his next move. "Little twit."

The waiter then came over and asked Light if he wanted more coffee which he kindly said yes to. I caught the hand of the waiter as he passed; he stopped and looked at me, I gestured for him to lean down. I quickly whispered in his ear; he turned red.

"I'm sorry but we don't do that….." He shut his mouth as I showed him a fifty-dollar bill.

"I'll give you this if you do that for me." With wide eyes he nodded and darted away clutching the money to his chest like it was given to him by an angel.

"Perfect."

"I think you've got me all wrong, Ryuga. While it's true I'm very interested in the Kira case and even in helping solve it...I'm not Kira, and I sure as hell don't want to get killed." "What wise words for a sinner." I slowly drank the cup of chocolate milk that the waiter just brought me and relished in the chocolate taste.


"I'm not Kira, and I sure as hell don't want to get killed." Light said with piercing eyes that met L's in his deep stare.

"I'm not going to help someone I can't even trust and end up getting murdered by Kira. I'd rather think about the case on my own. And anyway, you can't prove to me that you aren't Kira, either. So you and I are in the same position. Think about it from my perspective, is it fair that you get to question me but I can't question you? Anybody looks at us, all they see are two college students. In fact, most people would probably say you're more likely to be Kira than me. Neither of us can prove we aren't Kira. But if you're L, Ryuga, or even a stand-in for L, you ought to be able to prove that. I'm talking about having someone I can trust, for example someone in the task force, or my father, tell me straight out that you're L or at the very least a part of the investigation. If you say you can't do that until I prove I'm not Kira, then I can't work with you on this case." Light took a deep breath and waited for Ryuga to speak when the waiter came back placing his filled up coffee in his hands. He accepted it and was about to look back to Ryuga when he noticed that there was a piece of paper taped to the cup.

I never once said I wouldn't let you meet with the members of the task force." Light looked shocked and then looked down at the left in his hand as if pretending to look at his coffee mug.

Long time no see KIRA, hope you're enjoying your little teatime with Ryuga! Don't forget one apple for you and for Ryuk! Light almost scowled when he read that and saw that in the white substance of the of the liquid that was at the top of his drink had the word: KIRA in it. He grit his teeth slight but looked back up at Ryuga with a blank face.

"That damn girl…" It was then that he remembered what had had happened in his room. "Oh yeah…..I still have no clue why the hell I did that." He mentally cursed himself for doing something so stupid and something that his mind had to help in deciding; he wasn't even sure what in his body had decided such a thing.

Just as a hooded girl passed us, Ryuga's phone began jingling; he turned in surprise and took it out of his pocket.

"Excuse me." He said weirdly opening the phone and holding up to his head in such a weird way that Light almost raised an eyebrow.

"What's the matter?" Ryuga asked into the phone with an absent expression which then turned to abrupt seriousness as his eyes widened in shock.

He sat with wide eyes making Light curious but before he could ask what was wrong his own phone began to jingle.

"Now it's mine…" Confused on a many amounts of levels Light opened the phone.

"Light, it's your Father…" His Mom's voice came struggling through the phone as she finished her sentence.

Light's eyes widened as he allowed his hand with the phone drop from his slightly from his ear. Ryuga leaned towards him in shock.

"Light, your father…"
"Had a heart attack…" Light finished for him with slow words as sweat appeared on his face.

"KIRA?!" They both said loudly at the same time.

"It isn't possible, I didn't…who did?"


I had known that they would both be getting a phone call soon enough so I had left barely three seconds before L's phone rang and asked a young man outside the cafe where the nearest IBARAKI HOSPITABLE was, he was kind enough to point me in the right direction.

I was surprised that I made it before L and Light as I climbed up the stairs to the room where the women at the desk had pointed me to.

I saw the room and was about to go in when the door opened of its own accord; I stepped back as little Sayu came jumping out and slammed into me anyway.

We fell to the ground in a heap and I moaned in pain from her weight that was cutting of my breathing.

"I am so sorry!" Sayu jumped up and helped me up then realization split over her face in a way to happy face. "OH IT'S YOU! Thank you for last time!" I stiffened as she hugged me around the middle but after a second I slowly hugged her back.

"You left before I could thank you, if it wasn't for you I could have been stolen or worse!" She looked up at me still hugging me.

"Your welcome…how is your Father?" Her eyes fell slightly.
"He's fine, he just collapsed from exhaustion, he's been working hard lately." She sniffled to herself.

"Don't worry Sayu, everything will be fine." I grinned placing my hand on her head, she smiled and slowly walked away.

"Mrs. Yagami?" I asked as I shut the door behind me, she turned and smiled tiredly at me. The Chief was already awake and smiling kindly at me as well.

"Hello again Hail, it's nice to see you once more!" I nodded to her and looked at the Chief in concern.

"Chief, are you OK?" I asked taking a seat next to the bed along with Mrs. Yagami who looked at both of us with questionable eyes.

"I'm fine Hail thank you for coming." He closed his eyes taking a deep breath.

"How do you two know each other?" She asked with a bubbly voice.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Yagami, I work on the Kira case with him." I gestured between me and the Chief and I saw a flash of concern and fear cross her face; she was actually worried about me.

"Well congratulations, I would have never thought that the girl who saved Sayu was working on such a difficult case; you don't look much older than Light." She grinned shifting to get more comfortable in her chair.

We all looked as a knock was placed on the door; it opened to reveal Light and L. Light looked like he was panicking inside while L only looked worried.

When they both saw me they stopped, Light stared at me for a second before rushing up to his Father asking if he was OK. I looked up at L who gave me a questioning look but didn't say anything. He nodded to me as he grabbed a chair for himself and placed one next to Light so we all could sit by the Chief's bed.

My hands played with the hem of my shirt as I watched the scene unfold in front of me.


Author:I actually feel like I am accomplishing a lot, the story is coming out in a role! i added a little more fun to it, I thought it would be fun to do a little something about Light being Kira in front of L; to bad L didn't see it or his deduction of Light being Kira would have went up much more.

Anyway; reviews are still wanted and anything you guys would like to happen in the story, ideas, what you think will happen is needed; I want some ideas. (send them to PM if possible:) See ya later!
