Death Note- Amelia's Story
Chapter 52- Planning Out (Part 2)
Amelia's POV
I was sitting next to Watari as he went over the instructions for the underground building he was constructing. Why was he going over this with me, you ask? Well, I told him to build it of course!
"So, I just enter the stone building and there will be an elevator there?" I asked. He nodded, "Yes. After that you just enter the password...this is it...and then it'll take you down." He said.
"What if someone sees me and follows me in there?" I asked. He smiled, "Well, only you, I, and L will know the password. Then there's a hand DNA scan that only accepts our DNA." He explained.
I nodded, "Great! I just hope that this will work. Did you get the..." He raised a hand, "Yes. I got them." He reassured. What were we talking about? Well you see, whenever Light decides to kill L...and probably Watari as well...I had set it up that in their coffins there's a cup, of whatever I decided to put in it, that's hiding a button. Once they take the cup off...whoosh!...they drop down to the underground building. There will be something soft to break their fall.
"Alright, all I need to do is convince Rem to join in this plan and we'll be set." I said whilst holding up a book. It was a Death Note, a fake and a replica of the one L has captive, but it didn't have any names in it. That's what I needed Rem to do, I needed her to write the names down in it.
"Let me handle getting Rem, alright?" Watari said. I shook my head, "You've done too much for me already. I couldn't..." I said.
"It's not a problem. I'm glad to help you out in this plan of yours." He said. I was about to say no but I decided against it, "There's no point in arguing with him, is there?" I thought.
"No, there isn't." He said. I looked at him, oddly, and wondering if he was referring to my thoughts. If so...never mind.
"Um...I'll be in the main room if you need anything..." I said before leaving the room. I could hear his laughter as I walked away. That was seriously creepy...
"Now, even though I don't want to do this, it'll be worth it in the end. Let's just hope it works." I thought as I entered the room. I saw the task force members, L, and Light. I'm glad that Misa isn't in here, she would've started asking a ton of questions.
"Is there something that you need, Ami?" L questioned. I nodded, "Yeah, I need to speak to you Light." I said looking at him. He pointed at himself, "Me? What do you wish to speak about?" He asked. I rolled my eyes, grabbed his wrist, and made my way towards the door.
"You're pretty strong Ami." Light commented. I smiled, "Thank you." I said before we left the room. I could imagine the expressions on everyone's faces, I didn't blame them.
"So...what do you want to talk about?" He asked. I didn't say anything.
"Um...could you at least tell me where you're taking me?" He asked. I smiled, "Sure...we're going to the roof." I said.
"Oh..." Was all that was said before we got to the elevator. I let go of Light and pressed the "top" button on the keypad. Then I entered some numbers on it before it opened.
"I really hate this security system; It's too much work" I commented. Light laughed, "Yeah, I suppose it would get tiresome having to do it almost everyday." He said. I nodded in a agreement.
"So, are you going to tell me what you wish to speak to me about?" He asked. I smiled, "Sure, once we get to the roof. It's private and there are cameras in here." I said pointing to one in the corner.
"He's probably not even watching us." He said. I shook my head, "He's always watching...even when you don't know he is." I simply said.
"There are cameras on the roof as well...why didn't you go to your room?" Light suddenly asked. I chuckled, "Because L set up cameras in my room too." I said.
"And how would you happen to know that, Ami?" I heard L's voice ask. I looked at Light in a "I told you so" kind of fashion.
"That's for me to know and for you to...perhaps...find out later." I said in response.
"I could simply just look at the video records we have of your room." L said. I smiled, "Go ahead." I said before a ping was heard. I took Light's wrist, once again, and lead him to the door leading to the roof. He wouldn't be able to because I had Watari disable them earlier.
"You know you can let go of my wrist, right?" Light said. "I'm not going to leave."
"I can't be too sure of that and besides I don't think you'd try to force your way free...would you?" I asked. "Because that could cause harm to me."
He was quiet for a moment, "No, I wouldn't." He said eventually. I smiled before letting him go as we entered through the door.
"Here we are, and before you ask I had Watari disable the cameras up here. It took a lot of...well...explaining to get him to do it though." I said turning to face Light.
"Oh, so can you tell me what you wish to speak to me about?" He asked. I sighed, "I wanted to ask what made you ask Misa out in the first place? That's my first question." I said.
He looked shocked, "Um...why do you want to know that?" He asked. I shrugged, "It came up when I first learned that she was your girlfriend. I always though you were into the more serious types of girls." I said. He smiled.
"Yeah, a lot of people think that." He said before looking around. "Are you sure that the cameras up here are disabled?" I asked. I pointed to the one in the corner near us.
"See, it's not on " I said. Light still looked unsure, so I tried to reassure him "Look, I wanted to speak to you privately and I trust Watari to go through with my request. He's a pretty cool person if you get the time to hang around him." I said.
Light stared at me for a moment, "Alright...I trust your word. You wouldn't lie to me, would you?" He asked. I shook my head, "Unless it was to help you...never." I responded. He smiled. Then it was quiet for a few minutes.
"You know if Misa wasn't with me...would you perhaps give me a chance?" He suddenly asked. I looked at him in silence, then I looked down seemingly embarrassed.
"Um...maybe. It would all depend on how you acted." I said. "Don't tell anyone I told you that though."
"I won't." He said.
"What made you ask me that?" I asked even though I had a pretty good idea of why.
He smiled sheepishly, "Well...um...to tell you the truth I did like you before Misa came along. I was kind of afraid to ask you out so I didn't...usually I would, but you're different Ami." He said. I raised an eyebrow, "Good different or bad different?" I asked. He laughed.
"Good different." He said before looking down at me. "Actually...if this doesn't bother you...I don't think my feelings for you have quite gone away."
I rubbed the back of my head, seemingly embarrassed, before saying "It's weird hearing you say that, of course, but...I think I can deal with it." He nodded, "Great, I wouldn't want things to be awkward between us now." He said. I laughed.
Light's POV
I watched as Ami laughed; it was beautiful. I was kind of surprised when she asked me why I asked Misa out, I didn't expect that one at all. I was even more surprised when she said that she would perhaps go out with me if Misa wasn't with me.
"This makes things easier." I thought. It was risky saying that my feelings for her haven't gone away completely, but it needed to be said eventually. What other chance would I get other than this?
"Oh! I had other questions, but it's kind of getting late. Would you mind me asking them later?" She asked. I shook my head, "It's not a problem. By the way, it was nice talking to you today." I said. She nodded before making her way towards the door, then I did yet another risky thing: I kissed her on the cheek. When I let go she looked shocked, "Why?" Was all she asked.
"I wanted to see how you would react to it and...I wanted to thank you." I said, it was somewhat the truth. She looked at me, confused, "What did I do?" She asked. I smiled.
"Well, you made this...case...more durable for me and Misa." I said. "Between Ryuuzaki's suspicions and the others hesitations, you made it better. I wanted to thank you for that...sorry if it made you uncomfortable though."
She nodded, "It's alright, you just surprised me is all. I'm going to go now, are you staying up here?" She questioned. I nodded, "Yeah, I needed to clear my head anyways. I'll see you later." I said. She nodded and left.
"I can see that you're falling for me Ami, if you haven't already that is. Soon you'll be my queen and we can rule together." I thought. You can count on it.
Amelia's POV
"Did you see it?" I asked Watari once entering the room he was in. He nodded, "Yes, I saw it. Do you think it was good to lead him on like that, though?" He questioned. I stopped and turned towards him.
"No...I don't...honestly I hope this is the last time I have to do something like this, but it's worth it to save you all." I said. He nodded, "I understand, but if I may ask...why didn't you tell L of your plan? I could've told him of your situation with the Shinigami." He said. Why did I know that he would ask me that eventually? I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell him.
Sighing, I answered him...truthfully," Because he would've never let me do this." I said. "You know that L's protective of me, correct?" He nodded.
"So, if I told him of this plan...that may just end up with me dead...he wouldn't have let me go on with it. He would've most likely told me to just leave it to him." I said. "He probably would've ended up getting himself killed anyways."
"Hm..." Was all Watari said before going back to the video. "Do you believe that this will convince the Shinigami to join your side?"
I thought for a moment, "It may, this is one of the parts that dependent on chance, it's obvious by the way it acts around Misa that it cares for her. I believe that the only reason for why it's letting Light do all this is because of Misa's involvement with it...though I could be incorrect." I said. "However, just to be sure, I'm going to show it this video and see how it reacts to it."
Watari smiled, but didn't say anything. I looked at him as he did this, "What?" I asked. He shook his head, "You and L are alike when it comes to making plans involving people you care about. He was just like this on having you brought over here." I raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. I didn't have anything to say is more like it though.
"So, can you get the Shinigami to come here?" I asked him after a few minutes.
"Yes, just give me a moment." He said before pressing a button. "Ryuuzaki, I need to speak with the Shinigami for a moment...I wish to clarify something with it."
"Alright...it'll be there shortly." L said before disconnecting. Incredulous, I looked at Watari "Its that easy?" I asked. "I thought you'd have to give him a long explanation or something like that." He shook his head.
"Not at all." He said. I was about to say something else when it got strangely cold in the room.
"What do want?" I then heard the droning voice of Rem ask, that was short. Anyways, I looked over at her "Actually, he doesn't want anything, I do. I want to show you something...tell me your thoughts on it." I said. Watari pressed a button on a keypad and the video of Light and I on the roof showed.
"What is this?" Rem questioned. I put up a hand, "Just watch it...you'll see." I said. After a few minutes the video ended, so, turning back to Rem I asked "What do you think of that?" I asked.
"Human child, Light Yagami belongs to..." I stopped it mid-sentence.
"I don't like Light, I did once but now I don't, you heard what he said right?" I asked. "He said that his feelings for me have not really demeanor since getting with Misa. I don't even think that he likes her."
"If I may put my input, I have noticed on quite a couple of times when Mr. Light would look aggravatingly at Misa. This is sometimes normal for a couple, I believe, but his looks contained more...fire...in it than it should. You could even say that he sometimes gives her what they call "The Death Glare." Watari said. I didn't know what, but I'm glad he said it.
"What's your purpose in telling me this, human child? And I do believe that I told you to not say a word to anyone about Light Yagami and Misa." Rem said.
"She never told me, I guessed it." Watari said. I nodded, "You never said that I couldn't just let them think that they're correct if they guess it. You told me to not tell them...I haven't even told him anything yet. He's just going along based upon his suspicions." I said. Rem didn't say anything, "Go on..." It finally said.
So, standing up, I walked around it "I can tell that you care for Misa, am I correct in that?" I then asked. It was quiet for a few minutes.
"You are correct." It finally said. I nodded, "Would you want Misa to be with someone who doesn't even like her? And I already know Light's plans to be "god" of the new world by the way. If he doesn't like her...what do you think he's going to do to her?" I said. It was quiet so I continued.
"I have another question: Can Shinigami kill for other people? I mean you probably can but I just wanted to know." I said.
"We can...but if we do we will die." It said then it got strangely quiet. "What is the meaning of all this, child?"
"Well, in order to save some people...I've decided to come up with a plan that is supposed to end with Light's and Misa's capture. They won't die, I hope nobody else will, but they might get a jail sentence...unless I think of something else for them. I haven't gotten that far." I said. Some of this stuff I just make up on the spot, not really thinking it through but just hoping that it'll work. Like me speaking to Light on the roof, it was totally based upon chance that he'd actually accept coming with me.
"What is your plan?" It asked.
"I can't tell you anymore than that, seeing as how you're on Light and Misa's side, but I can tell you what I need for you to do." I said. "Will you follow or leave? It's entirely up to you."
It was quiet for a moment before I heard, "Alright, I will help.." It said. Great! This is going well..I just hope nothing ruins it.
