When I saw the great detective L come into the hospital looking like that, I was worried. Really worried.
He looked too far gone.
He looked dead.
What did Watari think, that my powers would be enough?
But Watari wasn't there.
I didn't receive any orders.
I finally went to his room and sat down.
"Is this what you wanted, Watari?" I asked to no one. "I only have three. Are you asking me to use two of them?"
I received no answer.
I looked at the tattoo on my arm. Still three.
I placed my hands on L's chest; and got to work.
Xxx
L's eyes opened.
He had been right: Light Yagami was Kira.
He tried to move, then noticed that Light was not bound to his arm any longer.
Instead of Light in the room, there was a young woman sitting in the chair. She was dressed as a miko and her body looked fatigued.
There was a tattoo on her arm with two tic marks. Other than that, her caramel colored body was flawless. She had long dark hair, and her eyes were closed, but her cheeks were marked with sparkly freckles.
Spreckles.
L remembered her. Priestess Kuri Hikawa. She was the last ditch effort given by Watari in the case of his death. She was to revive the dead with her powers.
As if in answer to his theory, Watari came to the door, fully alive and awake. "L. It is time."
"And the miko?" L asked.
"She remains here, as per your former orders." Watari said.
L thought about it. "I require her services. She comes with us. Rouse her."
"I'm already awake." Kuri looked at him with striking blue eyes. "Let's catch Kira."
