Chapter 12

I wake up from rolling off of the couch. My head bounces against the floor causing me to groan. Slowly I push myself up onto my hands and knees noticing the time and date on my watch. "It's already so late?" Rubbing my head I couldn't believe I had slept an entirety of a full day. Lately, I've been adding things to my house like the TV we watched last night. Today another shipment was supposed to arrive. Putting my legs beneath me I stand before shuffling to the kitchen where I start to perk myself some coffee. I head on upstairs to make sure my screens were clicked off when I hear the mumble sounds of someone talking. Slipping my headphones on to check them I hear. "If you're still interested then you need to come here right away."

"Okay Dad."

Sighing I take the headphones off then go downstairs to the kitchen making myself a cup of coffee. So far everything is still going according to plan. Three full days until L is supposed to air on TV. Which means today they will have light watching a video to see if it's a second Kira. Tonight they will come up with a response to the Second Kira then a few days later the journal should come in. If I am correct. I should go to Aoyama as planned. I bring my coffee to my lips as I take a sip of the hot chocolaty substance the doorbell sounds. Walking to the sink I look out of the window to see a large truck outside. Smiling I go over to the door and open it for them. Stepping out of the worker's way as I take another sip. "Well hello there beautiful I didn't expect to be delivering something to your house again." It was the same creep as with the computer. Maybe I should change companies.

"Well, your company does sell the best." I tell him before turning. "That hall will be in the same room as last time." Saying before I go into the living area and grab my bag. Walking up the stairs to my computer room as he continues bringing my order into the house. I already knew from last time he was going to bring them up. Setting in my computer chair in Indian style I place my backpack on the floor next to me. Setting back I slowly drink my coffee as I see him walk through the door from the reflection of my black screens. I point to the empty wall as I do. He obviously got my hint because he started setting the boxes where I had specified. In silence I watch him bring boxes after boxes and the coffee in my cup seems to disappear. Nearly pouting I set the empty cup on my desk before leaning over and reaching into my bag. Pulling out my Ipad and headphones. Plugging the headphones in I turn on my Ipad as I pull one off of my left ear so I could hear the shuffling of the delivery guy. Flipping through the routed pages I stop on the one of the hotel room as Dad brings light into the room. "Do you need help with anything else?" the delivery guy asks. Darkening my screen I look over at him with a smile.

"No, I can put them together myself. Thank you for all of your help. Can you lock the door on your way out?" He just nods before walking from my room. A few seconds later I hear the front door close. Yes, he's gone. Turning off my Ipad I click on my screens and replace my headphones with my computer headphones watching the screen of the hotel room.

"Thank you, Light." I watch as they shake hands. Seriously I know that with things still going along with the anime is good but I was getting seriously bored.

"Not at all, After all, I want to catch Kira as much as you do, Ryuga."

"I'll have to ask that you call me Ryuzaki here." Light gives a gasp as if he had completely forgotten about that. The other three begin to give Light their fake names clearly from Dad's name being different. Light and L look at them as they do. Taking off of my headphones I set it to record. Getting up I begin to go through my boxes first finding the stands I had bought before retrieving my tools to put it together. At this time it is just to keep me busy but in the whole, it should help me out a lot.

Finally finishing my set up I step back to look at my work. The two stands sitting side by side one with a TV and recorder the other with a laptop and cords I could plug into my TV at any time. Glancing to the window I see it is already dark. Turning on the news before pulling out my Ipad and cord for it I then go over to my laptop and run through its setups before plugging my Ipad into it. Yes, this way I could either run a fourth screen if I chose or play my episodes of Death note for references to make sure I didn't miss anything. This is perfect. Going to my computer I unplug my headphones and wrap them up before sitting down so their voices could be heard with the news as background noise.

"Ryuzaki does this look okay? I think I managed to make it believable." Looking from the news I reach into my bra and pull out a piece of the death note. Looking at the picture of the criminal upon it. He was one of the ones being charged for assaulting me. With a smirk, I listen to how he had an arrest warrant out for him for several other assault cases. Seeing his name I write it down with a giggle. "See I am your executioner." To cover up that one death I continue to watch picking out another criminal with equal to or greater crimes than him. Writing his name down as well I realize I hadn't been paying attention to their conversation.

"The script is ready I'll leave it to you." L says. As they go through the motions of recording I turn my attention back to the news writing down the next two names that show up. With Light busy with L and the Second Kira being careful not to kill those that Kira could kill first I'll take up the task of continuing to kill the criminals that Light would kill if he wasn't busy. At roughly 5:20 pm the normal news is interrupted. Glancing to the computer screen I see how they are watching it as well so I mute the sound so there wouldn't be an echo.

"And now a shocking announcement, In response to the frightening Kira video aired on Sakura TV only a few days ago an anonymous individual has contacted us claiming to be the real Kira." Setting back in my chair I raise my hand to my head brushing my bangs from my eyes as I continue to watch. "In short he has demanded of this network as well as several others that we air this message that you are now about to see. I would also like to mention that the NPA has granted us permission to air this video. Is this the real Kira no one knows for sure. But we can only hope that this video will provide us with some much-needed answers." The screen turns gold with Kira spelled in black cursive like lettering and white stars I smile. This is so them. Although I do have to admit compared to L and the Second Kira's grey screens this is much more pleasant to the eyes.

"I am Kira, The real Kira. The one who was broadcast on Sakura TV a few days ago is a pretender a fake. The purpose of this message is to communicate my will to this... Imposter. I have chosen to be lenient to him for the time being only because I believe he wishes to cooperate with me in the creation of the new world. But I want to make it absolutely clear that the taking of innocent lives is against my will. If this person claiming to be me is truly sympathetic to my causes and wishes to be of some help. I ask two things of him. That he refrain from killing aimlessly and that he agree to abide by my basic principles If you do not heed these warnings I will have no choice but to pass judgment on you." Sighing I mute the TV and look at the cameras. This was all too trivial and clicking the sound back on. Getting up I grab my empty coffee cup and go back downstairs to fix myself another one.

Walking back upstairs I trail my free hand on the railing. Upon entering I hear Watari's voice. "Ryzaki, 4 more criminals have died of heart attacks just before our video was aired."

"The Second Kira?" They all ask in unison.

"I don't believe so these criminals fit the profile we have created for the first Kira." Setting down in my chair I watch as Watari hands the papers to Ryuzaki. I knew in his mind he was weighing the possibility that since Light was with them the whole time that he isn't Kira after all. "Light do you know where your girlfriend is at this moment?"

"I'm not sure, I would say from the time she is at home right now watching anime. Why?"

"It could just be coincidence but one of the four deaths tonight is one of those who attacked her the other night."

"As you said it could just be a coincidence." Light takes the papers from L and looks at them. "And as Watari says this guy fit's the profile for the first Kira. It was bound to happen sooner or later." He hands the papers back to L before setting down in an armchair.

"Mogi, I would like you to follow Kira around for a few days. If she is the actual Kira she may not be suspecting it."

"I'll get right on that." He says picking up his coat and walking towards the door. Of course, a typical move for L. But right now the only one in that room that knows about my surveillances would be Light. So they have no idea that I knew the moment he said it that I would have a tail. I already knew something like this would happen taking up Light's work while he's with them in fact I counted on it. In a few days, the next response from the second Kira will come in. So I have an open window to let him follow me around. Right now Light is probably coming to a similar conclusion. I watch as he stands as if surprised.

"You're going to have her followed?"

"Yes, I'm surprised you haven't come to the same conclusion I have about this Light."

"Thinking about it. It is the best move. It just took me by surprise." He sets back down looking down so his hair was over his face. Looking closely I could barely see remnants of a smile. Good, so he's not mad. This in itself won't clear Light but it would drop his percentage from 5 back to about 1.

Bringing down the shadow on light's computer I go into the web browser and begin looking through different stores. Yes, with having spent that time looking at the book. I now have an idea of how to get Misa more fully under my control if necessary. Since in the anime she is only so submissive because she falls in love with light. Pulling out my secondary card I put in the numbers and click submit on my order with a smile. The cards weren't in my name and I already knew from the videos that L hasn't caught onto me even having them. I am safe as long as I don't use them in public anymore.

The past few days I went to school as I was supposed to. Meeting up with Light whenever I could. I even made sure that the one tailing me would see at least one of our make-out sessions. Yes, as Light's pendant shows. I want the world to know he is mine. Or I'll at least settle for the task force members knowing. Finally on the third day, Light departs from me at my door obviously to go to the task force headquarters. Picking up the package on my doorstep I notice my tail is gone. I walk inside and lock it behind me. Going into the kitchen I set it onto the counter before going upstairs to my computer room. Setting down I do my usual of re-establishing the hacks that I have been disconnecting for just in case someone were to come into my house while I was away. Looking at my center screen I watch them. L's laptop screen flashes on with a gothic W on it for Watari's line. "Ryuzaki we have a reply from the Second Kira." Light was already there of course. It did take some time to re-establish my hacks. I smile at their surprised responses taking note that as Ryuzaki looks away from him light doesn't look surprised at all.

"Oh Light, do you really only show much emotion to me?" I nearly giggle yet I find myself completely watching him rather than the other screens.

"I will be bringing over the envelope and tape we received but in the meantime, I'm streaming the copy of the video so that you can view it on your end."

"Kira, thank you for your reply. Please do not worry I will follow orders and do as you say."

"Whoa"

"It worked." I roll my eyes. If the Second Kira had any brains at all she would have just wanted L to appear on TV as planned but then again as in the anime she does have brains she just doesn't use them very much.

"I really want to meet you, I don't think you have the eyes." I watch as Light reacts to this bit. I hadn't told him about what the Second Kira would say in their messages so, of course, this would startle him. "But you don't have to worry I would never try to kill you, That's a promise."

"What's this having the eyes supposed to mean?" Aizawa asks. "Is it a code?"

"Yeah.." Matsuda responds to him clearly confused.

"Please think of a way we can meet without the police knowing. You'll think of something. When we meet we can confirm our identities by showing our shinigami to each other."

L gasps. Matsu and Aizawa speak at the same time. "Shinigami?!" Covering my ears I muffle the scream I knew would come from L as I watch him throw his arms up into the air I nearly giggle as I watch his chair topple over. I couldn't help it this part always made me crack up laughing at his reaction. Trying to stop my insistent giggling I hear. "Sh...Shinigami? Am I really supposed to believe that they actually exist?

"That's impossible." Matsuda says as I stand up and walk from my computer room. So far everything is pretty well mimicking the anime perfectly. I didn't need to hear the rest of it. Now the question is. Should I hack into Sakura TV and broadcast a response once this one is aired? No there is a chance I could leave a trace. It's better to leave things as they are so that the plan to Aoyama isn't meddled with. But if I did send a response I could ideally keep Light away from the Second Kira in a much easier way. Biting my bottom lip I sit on my armchair in Indian style trying to work through my ideas. I watch as the night goes past and it was well into the day. "Great another day wasted. Why do I seem to lose myself like this when I'm thinking and all I've come up with is.." No, I have a better idea. Opening my eyes that I had closed I smirk. This could work. It should work. I already know the anime by heart why am I muddling over all of this anyway? Getting up I go upstairs to grab my bag and grab out my phone. Sending light a text that reads. Can you Loan me the materials for class? Really, I could use them. Smiling at my work I put my phone back into my bag. Capitalizing the L in loan shows him to look at the first letters it shouldn't take him long to find the meaning of it. Pulling my backpack on I make sure my light blue off-the-shoulder sweater is pulled down nicely over my hips. I have a little bit of time before he goes to the café but, I would like to be there first. Going into my bedroom I grab a white cloche hate with light blue stripes on it. Smiling I go to my computer room again and back out of everything to leave no trace of what I have been doing. Grabbing my Ipad I stuff it into my bag before walking out of the room. Stopping in front of my door I slip on my light blue and white wedges before walking outside and locking the door behind me.

Having taken my time walking I finally walk into the Café finding another out of the way seat that wasn't the one light usually sets in I order my usual coffee. Setting my bag beside me I pull out my diary case and a pencil. Unlocking them I open it up to a blank page and begin to write in order to take up more time.

"Hey, you weren't easy to find." I hear Ryuk's chuckle. Glancing up at him momentarily I give him a smile. "I thought you would either be at your home or the park."

"Yes, but You were coming here with Light anyway." I speak quietly so no one else would hear me before going back to writing in my diary.

"What's with the hat? You usually don't wear one."

"What's with such a stupid question. If you must know I just felt like adding to this look with it."

"Oh, You know you aren't very nice to me. Ignoring me all the time."

"I'm not very nice to a lot of people." I respond simply to him. Smiling as the waitress brings me my coffee I take a drink. Really how long has it been since I had a drink? I wonder.

"True but you could at least say hi. And why did you want me here? The plan you told Light isn't going to be happening yet."

"I know. I decided to keep light out of this one. If things don't go as planned then the other plan will still be in effect. Just remember how to act I don't need you messing things up."

"By the way, there is something I've been meaning to ask you and with Light not around I think it's a good time."

"What is that?"

I close my diary and lock it, placing it back into its case. "Why can't I see your life span?" Giggling I put my diary case and pencil back into my bag and zip it up. He just gave me proof of what I'm going to do is definitely going to work.

"If I told you then that would ruin your fun."

"Something to start?" I hear a waiter ask someone nearby.

"Hmm, A strawberry sundae please!"

"Of course, be right back." I try to hide my smile as I drink down my already chilling coffee.

Standing I shift my bag onto my left shoulder. "Oh, where we going?" Ryuk asks and I just ignore him.

"Here you go." actually nearly giggling I look up seeing the waiter walk away from her. Taking the long way around I walk in front of her table lifting my bag just enough it bumps into it. Pausing I have my eyes widen as she looks at me. Her breath catches as she watches me.

"I'm so sorry, I guess I misjudged my distance." I tell her giving her a soft smile.

" that's okay." she says quietly bringing the spoon from her mouth. Giving her a slight bow I move around her table and walk out of the café after first leaving my money at the counter for my coffee. Making sure to take as much time as possible. Surely she won't miss this chance.

"Misjudged?" Ryuk laughs. "That's unlike you." Pausing outside I look up at the moon watching a cloud passing in front of it. As I go to take another step I hear the bell on the café door. "Hey, wait!" she calls out to me. Setting my foot back down I hide my smile before turning to look at her.

"Yes?" I ask questioningly. She bows openly and I nearly cringe. "Umm. Pleased to meet you my name is Misa Amane and I wanted to... I brought this notebook for you." She says as she pulls it out of her purse and holds it up. Touching it I look behind her seeing rem. As I thought. Turning back around I shift my bag so the straps were now on both of my shoulders.

"Put that away until we get to my place." I tell her hearing her rustling behind me I start walking. Yes, this way she won't be in Aoyama and she won't see Light. Light will be curious why I had him send Ryuk to me but he won't show up tonight because of it. Walking up to my door I unlock it stepping in first and letting her follow me. Shutting and locking it behind her.

"If your family is here I would like to apologize for intruding so late." she says still seeming nervous.

"don't worry, I live alone." Sliding off my shoes I begin walking upstairs hearing her follow me. Pulling out my computer chair I spin it for her. "Have a seat." I walk to a wall so I was facing her and lean against it after sliding my bag off and setting it next to me. Ryuk was standing next to me watching us.

"You live alone? Where are your parents?"

"They are in America."

"For work?"

Shaking my head I fold my hands in front of me. "No, I came to Japan on my own to advance my studies."

"They let you?"

"Of course. They don't care if I'm not around."

"Oh."

"You know, you've been careless. If you would have been captured by the police then they'd know everything there is to know about Kira."

"It's okay because they didn't catch me and as long as I do as you say they never will be able to." Smiling inwardly. I've got her. Maybe I won't need to use that other use of persuasion. "So we're safe, after all, don't you need someone to see L's name. If you want I could be your eyes." Smiling I see her look down.

"You realize what sort of predicament you are in? The tapes you've sent to the TV station all had the same fingerprints on them."

"Yeah but, those aren't my fingerprints!" She looks up at me and I take notice of how innocent her blue eyes look. "It's not like I do these things without thinking about them first. Up until recently, I lived in the Kansai region and I had this friend who was into the occult. I suggested that we distribute this fake poltergeist video I had made to a bunch of different TV shows. Sort of as a prank and she agreed to help me with it. I had her take care of all the dubbing so my fingerprints wouldn't be on the tapes. Then I took them from her, added the Kira graphic, and recorded the message with that voice effect."

"And this friend you made the tapes with where is she now." I decided to go along with the words I had memorized by heart from the anime.

"If you want me to kill her then just say so and I'll kill her!" Yes, it's going exactly as I had hoped. I give her a skeptical look. "If you really still can't trust me..." She digs into her purse and pulls out her death note holding it out to me. "then here, I'll even let you hold onto my death note, but you'd just be holding it so I'd still be the rightful owner of it and that means I get to keep my shinigami eyes." She glances up at her shinigami. "Isn't that right Rem?"

"Yes, that's right." Stepping forward I take her notebook from her.

"Now there's no way I could possibly kill you. And if I become a burden to you then you could just kill me okay?" I feel like I have won.

"But you might've removed several pages from your death note you could be hiding them somewhere for all I know." Stepping back against the wall I keep the notebook tightly in my hand. She makes a noise and stands up.

"Why are you so suspicious of me?! I already told you I don't care even if you kill me. Believe me"

"How can you say that?"

She drops to the floor as she is recalling something that still hurts her. "Exactly one year ago my parents were killed in a robbery, I was home with them at the time it happened right in front of me." she takes in a breath as she tries to keep herself from crying. "I wanted that man to pay for what he did but the trial dragged on forever, opinions started surfacing stating that he's being falsely accused. Then it happened. Kira punished him for what he did to my parents. And that is why Kira means everything. Kira means everything to me. All I." She looks up to me. "All I wanted was a chance to meet you one day! So I could thank you for what you did." Smiling I put her death note into my bag before I walk over to her and hug her. To say the least, seeing her start crying really annoyed me. I knew that whenever I cried I had always hoped for someone to comfort me.

"I understand and I am sorry for being so suspicious of you. You've done all of this just to meet me. You even gave up half of your life just so you could be of some use to me. They will become my weapon in the creation of a new world. One that no one will ever have to go through what you did."

"Thank you so much. I'll try my hardest to not be a burden to you. I promise." Pulling back I smile down at her.

"Forgive me for hugging you. I know that when I was alone in my parents' house whenever I cried I had wished for someone to comfort me."

She looks up to me with a smile. "That's okay, thank you. Well, now that we talked about that could you show me your shinigami? I really want to see him."

"Oh, yeah sure. Could you please turn around?" I ask as I go to reach into the right pocket of my bleached light blue jeans.

"Alright." She says as she gets up and sets back down into my chair. Spinning around so her back was to me. Pulling out my folded piece of paper I walk up to her and touch her hand with it. Trying to keep everything as close to the anime as possible.

"You can turn back now." I tell her after putting it back into my pocket.

"Okay!" She turns back around and Ryuk smiles having moved up closer to her grinning.

"Hey there how's it going?" He asks being friendly. I give him a look to remind him what we talked about.
