Chapter 6

My eyes sting in the cold wind as I wait for the bus. I never really liked being cold, Texas was usually very hot and warm in the winter, but it had a biting chill. It was much colder in Japan, though I am sure that is due to the surrounding water. Grumbling, I squeeze my eyes close and tug my coat closer to my body. I don't know why I didn't cancel tutoring today; they were as ready as they were going to get for exams. Opening my eyes I look around at the busy street, everyone seemed to shuffle together for warmth. Just as I was about to move and call haha the bus appeared. Relived I didn't have to bother haha I boarded the bus.

I didn't lean on the window, it was too cold for that, but I did look out and watched other clime board. It always surprised me that people wore light colored coats. After all, dark colors invited heat better. Just as I was about to get a book out my bag I notice a flash of light brown hair. I freeze. What was today? The 19th? No, oh no. It was the 20th of December. Today Light planned that bus jacking. This bus! I still can't believe he brought a girl with him! The nerve! Though, she was only human, caught in the web of a pretty faced spider. That poor FBI agent was going to die. Maybe I can stop this?

I calmly sit and wait for the next stop, switching my novel for a thick textbook. I slid down in my seat, hidden by the green screen in front of the first seat. My feet up on it, book close to my face, and I wait. It wasn't a very long wait, or maybe it was. I can't be sure, but eventually the bus pulls to a stop, and one person gets on. I peek over the top of my textbook, yep, I remember that receding hair line and ugly teeth. The guy looked deranged actually. He can't see me, his back turned as it was. I quietly close my textbook, and wait for him to start talking, people start panicking when they hear the gun. I wait some more, he turns back to the driver and I raise my book. I look across from my seat and place my finger to my lip, telling everyone to be quiet. I thank kami that my father taught me how to throw. I launch the textbook at the man's head and hit him dead on. His head smacks into the bus' front window and he hits the flood. The driver slams on the brakes and the FBI agent jumps from his seat. But I was already up and used my coats belt to tie the man's hands. I sat back, my hands were shaking. "Thank Kami that worked!"

"You didn't know if that would work?" The agent shouted. Penber, so he was tailing Light today. "Well, not really. Kind of just, uh, hoped for the best?"

"Are you out of your mind? You could have gotten us all killed!" The girl with Yagami screeched. "Well it did work, so I don't see why you're complaining." I snipped back. I just saved her life; you'd think she'd be thankful. I breathed in deeply, "Haha is going to skin me alive." I whisper to myself in horror. Penber looked at me like I was crazy, I didn't care, Haha is going to flip her shit when she finds out. Just then the police arrived, much to my confusion. "When did someone call the police?" I asked. Penber patted my back, in what I assume was supposed to be comforting. "I did, you sat in shock for about fifteen minutes after throwing that book." I did?

"I did?"

"Yes, let's get you to one of the paramedics."

"I'm fine. I'm not even hurt!" he ignored me. Many hours later I was quiet happy he took me to the paramedics, Haha was more worried than angry. My owl, uh, not so much, she screeched at me and hit me over the head with her wing a few times. I was forgiven after explaining, feeling utterly ridiculous doing so. I swear the thing understands me, the red eyed demon that it was.

Four days later I was shocked to hear that four of the twelve agents died anyway, Yagami must have gotten their names a different way. Penber was not one of them. I assume that means that Naomi won't get involved. I count this as a win. There was also the walk-out.

I sit on my cushion in my room, petting my raccoon dog. Haru, or Hasunaru, was sprawled across my legs napping as I work on the Kira case. Papers were everywhere but within reach. I stuck my pen in my hair as I read a news article, blindly reaching out for some papers. Taking my eyes off the article I looked at the paper I grabbed, death rates for criminals worldwide. I looked at the article and then at the paper. A few police informants had been killed, but the chart only showed known criminals in prison. The informants weren't counted. Did that mean that Yagami found an informant and got those four names from them?

Turning I shuffle some papers around looking for the map of Japan I had. I slid the pen out my hair and looked back at the newspaper. I started marking where the informants died. I frowned; these informants weren't all that bad on the crime scale. Car theft, drug possession, this wasn't really Kira's thing. Yagami went for the big hitters, drug dealers, rapists, human traffickers and murderers. Maybe he just wanted the information on the FBI agents? I squint at it, why only four though? Why was the last one all the way Nagano? The other three where much closer, one in Kyoto, one in Osaka, and one in Tokushima, I frown. Wait. I drew a line, connecting them. My eyes widen, it… it was a giant cross.

What the hell?

For those of you who did not read my profile, I am back. I somehow wrecked my hard-drive and had to get a new one, then windows 10 wouldn't work so my laptop now has windows 8. I had to pay it myself, so it took a while to come up with the money for it. It's fixed now to here is the new chapter i made from scratch. all the chapters that were made (about 5 for this on) were lost when the hard-dive crashed so I am rewriting everything.

Hope you enjoy.
