I had absolutely no motivation to do this, but I had some kind of plot already ready. So here you go, imma eat more Thanksgiving pie and get fat 3

The sun was shining bright and the clouds floated peacefully in the sky. The day was calm and everybody was minding their own business. Well, almost everybody.

"Looks like L got this idea before us..." Norman whispered with a small defeated tone hidden within his voice.

"Well what do you expect, he's the number one detective in this world." Ray shot back as he tried to keep his eye on the tall man moving quickly while hiding behind a wall. He'd been tracking Light for a while, but they only knew that when they went to track him themselves.

Things weren't exactly going to plan. The trio found it hard to conceal their bodys in small spaces when there wasn't only one person hiding. They were in a city, not a forest, and certainly not the orphanage they knew so well.

The guy that they were trailing who was also trailing Light was an FBI agent. They found that out earlier that day to see if he was important or just a stalker.

But they had to do something. Not only did they want to continue tracking Light, but they also wanted to join forces with the great detective L. Sometimes a library computer isn't enough to track a serial killer.

However this means that they needed to split up, and they hadn't prepared any communication devices.

"Guys come on, we'll be way less suspicious if we just walk around like normal! We're kids and near shopping areas." Emma yelled as quietly as possible and the others silently nodded and backed away a bit.

Once they were further out, they stood around on the sidewalk, trying not to give anything away with their body language.

"Even if we do walk around like normal there's still three of us. If we show up in the same place as Light every single time, he's gonna know what we're doing. We just have to decide who is going to continue following that FBI guy and who is going to solve some cases." Norman concluded as everyone was quiet for a while.

'Emma could go, in fact, she's incredibly good at lying and making sure she isn't caught. On the other hand Ray was much better at planning ahead. He also has an amazing memory and analyzing skills. Both of them would be better at this than me. I prefer to head in with a plan, especially when dealing with an abnormal mass murderer.' Before Norman could think more about the situation Emma piped in with an all too familiar look of determination.

"I think Ray should do it. He blends in the most out of us and he is willing to do anything to make sure we get more information." Ray looked a little shocked at Emma's small outburst but quickly composed himself and nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, good luck, Ray." Norman smiled at Ray as he scoffed slightly, mumbling about how both Norman and Emma we're too nice for sending him to a psychopath.

Ray looked back to where the FBI agent had previously stood only to find him gone. Of course it was obvious he would be ahead, Ray had been talking with the others for a while. However it was annoying that Ray would have to go find him again.

A few blocks ahead Ray could see Light walking to a bus with a girl basically hanging on his arm like leech. It was the thing above them that made him put his guard up, reaching for a gun that he no longer had.

It looked like one of the demons he'd seen at the gate, but it was much smaller, and had wings. Looking away to compose himself he tried to focus on the 'mission' deciding it was best to question the winged creature later.

He sighed and peaked around the corner of the building once more, and thought about the situation.

'A date? Aren't exams soon for his school?' He had assumed Light was trying to look like the model student. There's no way he was going on a date when he could be working on something more important.

'Unless he's planning something, if Kira can control the time of death who says he can't control their actions as well?' Ray left his hiding spot and pretended like he was going on a walk. His hands were in his pockets, getting the right amount of money needed for a ticket.

After the agent ran into the bus, pretty suspiciously if you asked him, and Ray quickly followed with a steady speed. Even though there were multiple seats open, Ray sat next to the agent not really caring about what they would think.

Then the bus doors closed and started to head to Spaceland, stopping every now and again to either let people off or on. After a couple of weary glances to the creature Ray decided to pretend it wasn't there, especially since it seemed like no one else could see it.

Only a few more stops from Spaceland a rough looking man looking to be in his mid thirties got on. It was the same guy that had escaped before being arrested at the bank, or, Osoreda. He didn't go to get a seat but instead went right to the driver, quickly pulling out a gun.

"Stay in your seats unless you want to die." He demanded, looking like a rabid dog about to bite at any moment. The small cry from a woman could be heard as Osoreda glared down at everyone.

"Everybody shut up! If anybody moves, I'm putting a bullet in their head." The bus jacker turned back to them man driving and made sure the gun was pressed against his head.

"Alright, driver, you listen to me. I know you've got the number for Space Land's office on ya. Call 'em!" Ray focused on the criminal as much as he could from his seat and noticed the crazed look in his eye. Upon further inspection he noticed something else, but he couldn't quite tell from how far away he was.

"O-okay." The man driving was sheepish as he responded, fumbling with the phone as he punched in the number. "This-this is Sasaki, calling from Bus 1-7-4."

"Tell 'em what's going on—and no tricks, either." The driver flinched a bit as Osoreda shifted the gun, he was simply hoping to get out of here alive.

"M-my bus has been hijacked, and he's holding a gun to my head." Anyone could hear the quiver in his voice as the phone was ripped from his hands.

"You heard what he said. Now you listen up!" Osoreda moved the gun from the man's head to point at the passengers. "Have a female staff member bring all the cash at Space Land from yesterday, I know it's there. Have her meet us two bus stops from the park and don't make me wait. If you try to mess with me at all or try to get the police involved, I swear I'll kill everyone one of these passengers."

Ray sighed as softly and quietly as he could to not draw attention to himself. He knew that something was gonna happen with Light nearby, but this was really testing his patience.

Looking in front of him Ray could see the girl that Light brought with him shaking like a leaf. Her eyes were tightly shut as if she were trying to hold in any tears that might try to escape.

Light got her attention by tapping her leg slightly and holding a note for her to see. He was also holding it in a way that was easy for the agent and him to read it. That's definitely not an accident in Ray's eyes, a genius wouldn't be so careless.

Yuri, don't be scared. As soon as he turns around, I'm going to grab the gun out of his hand. Blowing his cover, the agent leaned forward and made sure Light's 'plan' didn't work.

"Don't be stupid. That's risky." The man leaned closer, taking extra precautions to make sure his voice wouldn't be heard. If it comes to that, I'll take care of it." Light began to write on a piece of paper once again, only to be interrupted when the man spoke up.

"It's okay. We don't have to pass notes back and forth. As long as we keep it down, he won't be able to hear our voices over the sound of the engine." The paper in Light's hand crumpled as he stuffed it into his pocket.

"Do you have any proof you're not his accomplice? Why should we trust you?" Light pointed out causing the man next to Ray to stiffen. Deciding this was a good moment to intervene Ray spoke up for the first time.

"Why would an accomplice help us communicate? Besides, if he let you go through with your plan then you'd be dead with a bullet between your eyes." Ray held back a smug smirk when Light's eyes hardened into a small glare. Although, it wasn't noticeable unless you were keeping your attention on him.

"Maybe, but I've read about this before. The first hijacker comes in like he's working alone. Meanwhile, the second one pretends to be a hostage and stays in the very back just in case something goes wrong. No matter how small the chance it's better to be safe rather than sorry." Light retorts as Ray holds back a scoff from how ridiculous he sounded.

"You...you really think he is one?" Yuri's voice was as quiet as a mouse, it was incredible that anyone had heard it over the rumbling of the engine.

Out of the corner of Ray's eye he could see the agent reluctantly pulling out the badge from his pocket. Kira needs a name and a face to kill someone, and Light already has the man's face. There is no way that Ray was going to let him figure out the agent's name.

Ray subtly stepped on the agent's foot, gaining his attention. Making his movements small, Ray shook his head and narrowed his eyes. The agent seemed to get the message because a moment later he put his wallet back into his pocket.

"The chances of them working together is so little that they might as well not even be a possibility. Besides, a trap has already been set, that means that even if he was a criminal, there's no chance that they'll get what they want. All we have to do is be patient and wait."

Ignoring the deadly glare heading his way he noticed Osoreda was getting closer to them. He approached an elderly couple, causing them to gasp and whimper in fear.

"Shut your trap, you old hag! You want me to shoot you right now? Look at me when I'm talking to you, grandma! I said shut up!" Spit flew from his mouth as he shouted aggressively at the poor couple.

Suddenly a small crumpled piece of paper fell to the ground and Light went to pick it up. A pretty stupid thing to do when you're trying to avoid dying in a bus-jacking. Osoreda noticed and swung his gun to point at light.

"Don't move, you little punk! What the hell is that? You guys were planning something back here, weren'cha?" Ray, thinking that it was the note from earlier, began to panic. But when the disheveled man in front of them revealed that it was just date plans he inwardly sighed in relief.

As Osoreda began to walk away he turned back to the passengers, only to start breathing heavily. Eyes wide he frantically stepped backwards, cocking his gun and shouting to what others only see as the air.

Ray knew that somehow, that paper allowed the man to see the weird, kind of demon between the seats.

"Wh-who the hell are you? You in the very back? What do you think you're doing?" Everyone but Light and Ray looked confused, but Ray simply monitored Light's reactions. He could see his lip twitching upwards time to time, indicating that he was fighting back a smirk.

The agent reached under his coat, getting a firm hold on his gun before the man started to shoot.

"Don't mess with me! How long have you been hiding back there?" The demon-like creature stepped forward, asking if he was talking to him. "Stay there, you! You—Keep away from me, you freak!"

The FBI man probably thought he was hallucinating and yelled at everyone to get down. They all screamed and dropped to the ground as they braced themselves, Light holding onto Yuri tightly.

"Oh, I get it! That little note that Light "accidentally" dropped, was actually torn from the pages of the Death Note itself. Since he tricked this guy into TOUCHING the paper, he's the only other one on the bus who can see me. That's so smart!" As the creature spoke Ray couldn't help but ponder on what the Death Note was. It sounded pretty straight forward, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions without any solid evidence.

"Get away!" Osoreda shouted in fear as he shot two more times at the creature. One missed and hit the window, creating a hole along with making the glass webbed. The second went right through the creature, successfully breaking the rest of the glass behind it.

"Sorry, pal. I'm a Shinigami, so I'm afraid your bullets aren't gonna kill me."

'So he's a shinigami, not a demon. That explains why they look so similar and yet...not.' The sound of gunshots snapped Ray back to what was going on.

Osoreda was screaming, firing round after round until there were no bullets left. He pulled the trigger again and again with nothing happening. His panic grew to the point he was basically begging the driver to let him off the bus.

"Anyone who touches the Death Note can see me. I have to stay 'till the Death Note is finished or you die—whichever comes first." The agent ran after Osoreda to keep him from escaping, only for his attempt to end up in vain as Osoreda jumped into the street and got hit by a car.
