Death Note crossover. Bree's a bit unhinged here, but she has to be for this to work.
39. Annoyance
Kira was annoying. He killed criminals. He killed people society had labeled criminals. Sometimes society was wrong. Sometime people have no other choice if they want to survive. Sometimes the system doesn't work and new evidence would prove "criminals" innocent. Sometimes it was too late to make a difference. But Kira seemed to have the utmost faith in the Police and the Judicial System and killed anyone that had been labeled a criminal without doing any research. Kira was an idiot. That wasn't the annoying part though, that was just sad.
The annoying part was that fact the Kira was scaring criminals, and since the majority of Lisa's employees and business partners had committed crimes at one point of another…well, you get the picture. Kira was making business harder to conduct.
Lisa's solution to the problem was to get rid of the annoyance before it became an irritation before it turned into a problem. A detective known only as L had narrowed down Kira's location to the Kanto region of Japan so Bree was sent to Japan to get rid of Kira.
The best way to find Kira would be through the taskforce that had been set up to catch him. Breaking in was surprisingly easy, or maybe not, since Bree did have alien technology and the ability to magically modify memories.
The number one suspect was Light Yagami, the son of one of the members of the taskforce, Sochiro Yagami. Bree bumped Light up from "might be Kira" to "definitely Kira" status after she saw the horric affront to god that was following the teenage boy around. And the boy knew it was there, no one tolerated something like that unless they were up to something.
Well, time to get rid of the annoyance.
Light woke tied to a chair. It was dark and dank with only a single dim light bulb swaying back and forth above him. As his eyes adjusted he noticed that was a dark figure facing him, sitting backwards in a chair, leaning on the backrest and glaring at him.
"So sleeping beauty is finally awake." The figure taunted.
"Wh-what do you want with me?" Light stuttered, putting as much fear into his voice as he could.
"You're a smart boy Light, I'm sure you can figure it out." The figure replied.
"My father." Light answered.
"Wrong. But then I guess you're so confident in your superiority that the reason you're here never even crossed your mind. After all there's no way the great Light Yagami could possibly get caught." The figured laughed mockingly.
"News flash kid, you're not god, you're just an annoyance and annoyances need to be taken care before they turn into mad dogs that need to be put down. Granted, most of the world probably thinks you're a mad dog but I know what you really are, an annoying annoyance. It was tolerable when you eliminated the competition, but then you moved on and now the customers are scared along with the workers and it's starting to become irritating which could turn into a problem, which would actually be worse for you then me because I would get to have fun and you would have to watch as entire life devolved into twisted chaos, but since you're just an annoyance I'm only going to kill you." The figure rambled.
"What?" Light choked out.
"Well, you are Kira." The figure pointed out.
"No I'm not! Kira is a madman!" Light exclaimed.
"Yes to the second, no to the first." The figure replied coolly.
"You have no proof!" Light shouted. He was becoming desperate having realized he was trapped with a lunatic that wanted to kill him.
"Nothing that will hold up in court since I burned it and killed the only witness, granted most people wouldn't have been able to see your imaginary friend anyway, but still…" the figure shrugged.
"What are you talking about?" Light questioned.
"That thing, Ryuu? Rook? Whatever its name was its dead now. The figured replied, twisting a strand of hair around its finger.
"That's impossible!" Light protested.
"Spirits are spirits and the tools of the trade are universal. Salt, silver, iron, Holy Water, they're pretty much my go to for killing supernatural beasties." The figure replied. "But it did tell me see things before it died since I did torture it for information. It told me about that killer notebook of yours and where you put it. Then I killed it and left the body where more of its kind would find it and get the message that the human world is not a toy."
The figure paused and stretched. Light remained quiet while his mind working frantically for a way out.
"So to get the notebook I would have had to go into your house, but, as you know, your house is rigged with cameras and I didn't want to be filmed but I really couldn't let something like that continue to exist so I thought "I do I solve this problem?" and then I went "Fire!" and now you don't have a house anymore… I burned down your house." The figure continued.
"But if you burned the notebook then I'm no threat to you anymore." Light pointed out.
The figure thought for a moment. "True. But then you'd just find some other way to be annoying, like a crossroads demon or something and besides, I'm the heir, so it would be really bad for my reputation if I let you live. But, I'll let you pick how you die. Knife, gun, poison or drowning?" it said.
"I don't want to die." Light said.
"Not one of the choices." The figure sighed.
"I don't want to die!" Light said more desperately.
"I just going to shoot you." The figure stated.
Bree sat on a park bench, licking an ice cream cone. A boy sat down next to her. More like crouched really. Strange. But then everything about the boy was strange. From the pale skin to the blackmessy hair and the dark circles under his eyes.
"You killed Light Yagami." The boy said. It was more of a statement then an accusation.
Bree stopped licking her ice cream and looked at the boy. "Are you going to turn into another annoyance?" she asked.
