*Kira*
Being walked into a room that smelled of dust and the air was chillier than what I was used to. I heard the sound of bars as if of a cell door being opened before I'm led forward. I wonder to myself if I am going to be detained in the cell that Light had been, in the anime, while silently hoping Light got all the preparations done. When the killing doesn't stop after I am detained L's sights will be back on Light. I gave him specific instructions to have the deaths set so they are perfectly written to die every day for 65 days. The horrible feeling I have right now is... I never took the chance to feed. This could be bad. Peeking ahead of me as my blindfold and cuffs are removed I rub my wrists glancing about the room. Yes, an absolute enemy to my white outfit. Today I was wearing my brand new white miniskirt and my off-the-shoulder white sweater. A white spaghetti string tank top beneath it. My hair was pulled up into two buns, one on both sides of my head with my white hat wedged over the top of them, the brim coming down over my eyes for the most part. Walking to the bed I run my fingers over the top of it then look at them as I make sure there isn't too much dust on it.
"What's wrong Kira Lake, the room not to your liking?" Was that sadness I detected in his voice?
"It's just dusty, normally a room like this would have me running around trying to get rid of all the dirt. Plus as you can probably guess dust and my white outfit does not work well together."
"I see"
"Could you have someone come in and clean it? So I don't ruin my clothes?"
"I'm sorry but this isn't a situation where I am obligated to make you more comfortable."
"I understand. But when this is done you'll have to buy me a new outfit."
"I'll think about it."
Wiping off the bed I try to get as much of the dust that is on it off that I can while trying to avoid getting my clothes dirty. This seriously was going to be a pain. Finally, after a while of swiping and leaping away then back again, I'm content with the bed and set down. Keeping my head lowered. "L"
"Yes?"
"What evidence do you have to bring me into such a detainment?"
"I am under no obligation to answer that."
"Actually for it to be even somewhat legal you are under obligation."
"How do you know Misa Amane?" I openly smirk knowing he can see it.
"I am under no obligation to answer that."
"Then maybe this will pique your interest. Right now we are running a search through your house."
Is he serious? This is a weak tactic to try and get under my skin. "Really? Well, can you request that only women look through my undergarments? I am a girl, after all, I don't like the thought of men looking through such private clothing."
"We have no women at our disposal."
My cheeks redden before I raise my head slightly knowing my eyes are still hidden. "Well that's embarrassing I guess then I hope it isn't Dad looking through them at least. I would just die if he sees even one of my thongs!" I try to keep myself from laughing. Knowing with that one comment L was probably in taking a sharp breath with wide eyes. I never did peg him to be one that can handle such knowledge without at least blushing. "You know for false incarceration I'll sue for being stuck in here and any emotional distress I am put under. Like for instance. Men looking at my undergarments."
He fell silent so I sigh. Light, I wish you were here. They even took my backpack which I put my iPad, wallet, and the case full of my Kunai and lock picking equipment in the same place as my death note and had given Light all of my pieces of death note I had on me for just in case this was going to happen. Yes, I covered all of the loose ends, I just have to try and stay strong.
I could tell from how tired I was that a few days have passed since the last time L had tried talking to me. I was now at the back of the bed with my back against the wall as I had been for quite a while. Feeling my body start to get stiff I slide off of the bed and stand. Tugging my sweater off careful to not move my hat. Every day three times a day they bring me food and water but I didn't touch them. The water would just make me puke anyway. Folding my sweater I set it on the pillow of the bed. Before facing the bars again.
"L?" I nearly cringe at how quiet my voice sounded.
"Yes?" His voice came soft and it nearly startled me.
"Is dad there?" This time I did openly cringe hearing my voice crack.
"He is. You know you should drink something."
At his words drink I felt the fire erupt in all of its fury in my throat. I fight myself not to automatically touch my neck. "I would if you gave me something I would drink."
"Like your coffee"
"Yes, 1 third hot cocoa mix, 1 third mocha the chocolate kind. And 1 third coffee." I wince at how much pain talking brought me.
"I'll have it brought to you if you answer a question for me." Nodding I try to save my throat to answer the question if I can. "What would you do if I told you that Light might be detained as well?" I nearly look up at the camera at his question but I fight to keep my head lowered feeling a throb in my chest as the fire burns hotter bringing more searing pain. I stumble forward catching the bars with my right hand to try and keep myself standing. "Kira, are you alright?"
"L. Light... " I manage to force myself to say before everything goes black.
*L*
Having watched her for four days she had done nothing but sit there. And then finally she stood taking off her white sweater to reveal a small white tank top beneath it. I couldn't help but notice how it clung to her very form. She was indeed very beautiful. As she folded her sweater and turned to put it on her pillow I couldn't help but notice how high her skirt rode. "L?" she asked quietly enough I barely caught it.
Clicking on the button on the microphone I watch her actions. She wasn't very sturdy on her feet. Which could come from not eating all this time. "Yes?"
"Is Dad there?" Dad? that's right she calls Yagami dad anymore. But what caught my attention was how weak her voice was and how it was cracking. The extremes she's pushed herself to did have me worried.
"He is. You know you should drink something."
"I would if you gave me something I would drink."
So she refuses to drink water. Then again from the surveillance, it did show she only ever drank one thing. "Like your coffee"
"Yes, 1 third hot cocoa mix, 1 third mocha the chocolate kind. And 1 third coffee." She sounds like she is ordering a drink at a restaurant but this clearly was a strain on her. We will have to get her to drink something and soon. Otherwise, this wouldn't be much of an interrogation if the one being detained can't speak.
"I'll have it brought to you if you answer a question for me." I watch as she nods. Good, she is figuring out to use actions rather than actually speaking to save her voice. "What would you do if I told you that Light might be detained as well?" I watch as my question startles her. She nearly looks up at the camera but like the past few days, she keeps her head down so I can only see the lower half of her face and not her eyes. She stumbles forward catching the bars as if she is trying to use them to remain standing. Is this a trick? An act to get us to rush to her side? "Kira, are you alright?"
"L. Light... " she barely spoke above a whisper before I watched her collapse to the floor in a heap. This wasn't an act. She hit too hard for it to be a simple trick.
Bringing my phone up to my ear to contact Watari. "Watari, Kira has collapsed! Check on her!" Without a response I see Watari coming onto the screen. At that time I heard a gasp from behind me. Glancing away from the screen I see Light holding the look of horror on his face which reflected in his eyes, closing my phone I put it away.
"Well Light, I didn't expect to see you here."
"I just came to see if I can visit Kira."
"I'm sorry but that's impossible."
"Please, I need to see her!"
What is this? Light is usually composed and nearly unfazed by a lot of things. Is this really from how he feels about her? "I'm sorry but while she is being questioned you two cannot have contact. I know it may not feel this way right now but it won't kill you." I watch as more color drains from his face. Is his urgency to see her not because of how bad he misses her but because of something else? "Yagami, I think it's best if you escort your son out for the time being. He needs to go calm down."
"Uhh... Alright… come on Light."
"No!" I watch as Light yanks himself away from his dad's touch. "She needs to see me! Before.."
"Before what?" I ask now curious as to why.
"L...Light.." I hear her quiet voice turning back she was now setting up rubbing her head with her eyes closed. Her hat having fallen off from her fall. Did she know that Light is here? "I..I'll be... Alright.." She speaks though her voice is cracking and she seems to be fighting to catch her breath. "I.. Promised... You... Remember.." Promised? Looking back to Light he was watching the screen. Though his eyes still gave off his worry for her he was calmed down.
"Ryuzaki. Can I speak to her over the microphone?"
"I don't see why not" In fact I'm curious about what will be said. Turning the microphone for him as he walks up to it and leans forward to speak.
"Kira." She gives a gasp hearing Light speak before a small faint smile appears.
"You also promised me that you would eat like you should. Have you been?" she answers with a shake of her head. My eyes widening. That's right! When she wasn't at Light's house for supper she never ate. And even what they found in her house she kept practically no food, there is no telling how long it's been since she last ate. "You need to stay strong. Will you... Please eat for me? I'll see if they'll at least give you some hot tea. Earl grey right?" I watch as she shrugs and he laughs. "That's right the last time I gave you tea you acted as if you've never had it before. Did you like it?" She nods then smiles her hands begin patting around her. Watari was still kneeling before her.
"M. My... hat.."
"Oh, here it is." He says picking her hat up for her then gently grabbing her hand and placing the fabric in it. She gives him a smile before tugging it on back over her eyes.
"L. Light. "
"Yes?"
"I.I'm so thirsty." Glancing from the video I look to Light whose eyes had gone wide. What could be going on? They were just talking about things she would drink if not coffee. Her being thirsty shouldn't be of any surprise.
"Watari, leave the cell." He says causing Watari to look at the camera before getting up and leaving the cell closing the barred door behind him. What in the? "Kira." She gives a movement of her head to show she is listening. "I love you" she smiles before holding up her hands and making the shape of a heart. Light backs away from the microphone with a sigh. He seemed to feel better after talking to her. But all their conversation did was confound me more. Kira is the Kira we are after that much I am sure about. But criminals still keep dying.
"Light"
"Hm?"
"I wish you to not leave this hotel room alright?"
"Ryuzaki, what are you getting at?!" Yagami asks.
"Well, I am pretty sure Kira is the one we are after and Misa Amane is the second Kira but as a precaution, I would like Light to stay here where we can monitor him. I am pretty sure Light isn't Kira but on the off chance I would like to just make certain."
"I see."
"It's fine Dad. I'll stay."
"Oh, and Light?"
"Yeah?"
"It looks like you have gotten very little sleep, why don't you go into the bedroom to rest." I watch as Yagami leads his son towards the bedroom part of the suite before looking back to the videos of Kira and Misa Amane. They were both quiet now. Deciding to make arrangements for some hot tea to be taken to Kira with a fresh tray of food I contact Watari.
Watching as Kira had successfully managed to eat and was on her third cup of tea I hear footsteps coming up behind me. "Ryuzaki... I'd like to request you take me off of this investigation."
"Chief No!" "But why?" Aizawa and Matsu say at the same time.
"I thought about it and the fact is we are holding my daughter as the prime suspect and my son is being detained here as well. Given that, it's not appropriate for me to be here.. When we spoke earlier my feelings got in the way. It's impossible for me to be objective in this situation."
"I agree with you. We can't let personal feelings get in the way."
"And... In truth... If the task force concludes that my daughter is Kira and Light is somehow helping her. I don't know what I'd be capable of."
"Yes, I'll agree with you there. To be honest I wondered what you might do, with you having such a strong attachment to Kira Lake as if she was really your own flesh and blood. I believe you'd kill her than yourself. I'd also agree that it's best that we don't have you working here for now." I reach down and grab a slice of melon sliding the piece into my mouth I watch as Kira crawls back up onto the bed in Indian style pulling her sweater over her legs to cover herself. With her hands closed separately into loose fists on her legs. Bowing her head she almost looked like she was meditating.
"Ryuzaki, I will ask that you confine me as well. After seeing her collapse and walking my son to a room. At the moment I am calm but to be honest I am not sure how much more of this I can take."
"I thought you might say that so I spoke with Watari. He's made arrangements." I eat another piece of melon. "But your confinement will be different. You will keep your cell phone turned on, and maintain regular contact with family and friends. You won't tell Light about this. If he does call you at some point, he is made to believe you are still at headquarters just not here. While you are in confinement. We will be giving you continuous updates with the investigation so you will know what's happening. So how does that sound to you?"
"I'm grateful. Thank you."
*Three days Later*
"Hey, mister. I really want to take a bath. I'm pretty sure you already know where I live could you bring me some clean clothes."
"I didn't think this could get anymore Bizarre."
"I feel so sorry for Kira and the chief right now."
It has been ten days since we incarcerated Misa Amane, seven days since Kira was brought in, and Yagami has been in there for the entirety of three days. Yet, even with Light confined to a room in here the killings still haven't stopped. Was I wrong about the both of them? They were given no notice so they couldn't have prepared for any of this. And for three days now after she ate that one meal, Kira has not even moved a muscle. How could this be? Clicking on the microphone I decide to try and get her attention. "Kira?" Nothing. She didn't even acknowledge that I said anything. Watari had just been in to check on her and all of her vitals are normal. Could she be sleeping? "Kira?" again nothing. Since I am sure that Light isn't Kira, I didn't see the need to set up cameras in his room. I just placed audio and except for when someone checks on him, he goes to the bathroom, when he eats or when he goes to the door to ask how Kira is doing. There is no sound that comes from there he has no contact with the outside world. No phone, no computer, no TV no way for him to kill criminals that are aired on TV. Would it be alright to just let Light out? Maybe he could get Kira to actually talk? No, I'll give it a few more days and see what happens.
"Ryuzaki... How's Kira?" I hear Light's voice muffled by the door. Typical he asks every few hours except when he's asleep.
"Right now, I think she's asleep."
There is silence that follows. Of course, I have been telling him the same thing for the past three days. "Has she even moved for the past three days?"
"No, do you know something about it that you'd like to share?"
"I don't know much about it, but she tends to meditate sometimes for days."
So she is meditating. Not a common practice anymore but I remember learning about how monks could meditate for long periods of time without any breaks. They had trained their bodies in order to do so. Could this be one of her habits? If so how long can she continually keep it up? More importantly, is she just doing it to pass the time or is there another reason? "I think it's about time."
"Huh?" Matsuda reacts dumbfounded.
"Time for what?" Aizawa actually asks. As usual, he's rarely caught not paying attention.
"About time to take a further look into the bag she carries around with her all the time."
"I thought there was only everyday items in there."
"Yes, but it may give us some further insight into Kira."
