AN Yay! Chapter uhhhh 9? I think that's right. Dang, I'm farther into this story than I thought. Dragon Zanpakuto guessed right for what the sequel will be: Avengers! Poor Maou.
Maou POV
I look at the crowd of students in front of us, "That'll be useful for blending in," I mutter just loud enough for Matsuda and Light to hear.
Matsuda responded with an agreeing grin, Light smirked, "These are some of my friends from school," He told us.
He then faced slightly more towards me and Matsuda, "This is Sadao Maou, some of you probably already knows him, he goes to school with us," Light told them, pointing to me. "And this is my cousin Taro, it's his first time ever in Tokyo and he wants to see Aoyama and I figured the least we could do is show him a good time, I counting on you guys," Light introduced, now pointing to Matsuda, "Oh yeah, he also told me he's looking for a girlfriend, so does anyone want to volunteer?"
I chuckled at that, Matsuda, however, looked quite shocked, "Hey, I never said that!" He exclaimed.
"Aw, poor wittle Matsui doesn't want anyone to know he's looking for a lady friend?" I teased, slinging an arm over Matsuda's shoulder.
"What? No!" Matsuda defended, making an 'X' with his hands.
"Mmmm sure" I reply before turning to one of the students we were with, "Hello there, what's your name?" I ask her.
She looked at me and smiled, "I'm Kinoshita," she told me, "You're name's Maou right?"
"Yup!" I confirm, "I actually don't get out much either, which is kinda why I tagged along," I tell her, "What exactly is there to do here?"
"Quite a few things, we're probably going to go get some food or at least something to eat. In groups like this though, we don't really have much of a plan, so we'll probably just wander," She told me. "What do you do that takes up all your time? Or are you new to Tokyo?" She asked.
"Actually, I moved into Japan only a few years ago, I didn't have much so it took me a while to get used to it enough to go to college," I told her, then laughed, "I actually had to work at MgRonalds for quite a long time."
"MgRonalds? Really?" She asked, "So where were you before that?"
I pause for a moment, trying to think up a reasonable lie, "Well, I was born in Europe and lived there until my parents died, then I met someone and we traveled for a while before eventually settling here," I tell her, probably not the best lie, but it was clearly good enough.
"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss," She apologized awkwardly.
"It's no big deal, I've gotten over it, I never saw either of them very much anyways," I tell her.
Matsuda then decides to but in, "Wow, I had no idea you were European Maou," he says, then thinks for a second, "Why do you have a Japanese name though?" He asks.
"I didn't think about that," Kinoshita said, "Were your parents Japanese?"
I waved them off, "No, I changed my name when I got here, I thought of this place as a sort of new beginning if you know what I mean," I told them.
"Do you mind if I ask what your name was before?" Matsuda asked.
"My first name was Jacob," I told him.
"Jacob, neat!" Matsuda complimented.
I cringed, I hadn't been called that in years, "I'd prefer if you just call me Sadao or Maou though."
"I'm good with that!"

Maou POV
"Oh, hi Ryuga, what're you doing here?" I ask, looking at L crouched on a bench.
"I was waiting for Light, but you can sit with me if you'd like Sadao," L answered, not looking up from the small book he was reading.
"Whatcha reading?" I ask, peeking over his shoulder.
"Legends about supernatural creatures, shinigami, demons, and the like," L responded.
Demons? Maybe there'd be something that might mention gates opening in the past. I read the pages as L does, mostly it's a bunch of hoopla, although it mentions me a few times.
Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Light and wave.
L puts down his book and looks at Light, "Oh, hey Light!" He asks in a positive tone before frowning slightly, "How's it going?"
Light quickly say goodbye to the girl he was talking to, "What're you two doing here?" He asks, "And Ryuzaki, didn't you say you were afraid to appear in public?"
"As long as you and Sadao aren't Kira, I have nothing to worry about," L answered.
"Yup! And I know I'm not Kira and I doubt Light is, so we're all good!" I exclaim happily.
Light gave me a weird look, I had noticed that both Light and L have been acting a little weird around me lately, "Yeah, so Ryuzaki, why'd you choose to come here?" He asked.
"As long as it doesn't kill me, college is actually pretty fun," L answered.
"Not too change the subject, but both of you have been acting weird ever since we visited Olba, and it's starting to creep me out," I tell them, "Why is that?"
L gives me a wide-eyed look, "Sadao, you are much more observant than I give you credit for," He answered vaguely.
"Can please just answer?" I ask.
"Well whatever you told that man in whatever language you were speaking in clearly scared him more than the thought of torture or death," Light pointed out.
I tap my chin, "That's a good point, but I don't think it's just that i-" I start to ask.
"Light! There you are!" I hear an extremely girly voice exclaim, turning towards the source, I see a blonde-haired girl in a black outfit running towards us.
"Who's that?" I ask.
"I had a photoshoot nearby so I thought I'd come by to see you!" She told him energetically, crossing her hands behind her back, "Oh! These must be friends of yours!" She exclaimed, looking closely at L, "He looks so different, unique," She noted.
"If you don't mind, who are you?" I ask.
Her gaze is still fixed on L and Light, but she answers, "I'm Misa Amane, Light's girlfriend, nice to meet you!" She squeaked.
"I'm Hideki Ryuga," L introduced.
"And I'm Sadao Maou!" I added.
"Huh? Hideki Ryu-" She starts to say in a confused tone.
Light steps between her and L, "Yeah, he has the exact same name as the famous idol, pretty bizarre huh," He told her.
Then she glanced at me for the first time and her confusion intensified. I laughed at her confused face, and L started chuckling about something too. She was staring at the space right above my head, was my hair more messy than usual? I raise a hand and pat it down a bit.
"Light, you're a lucky guy," L said in a slightly humorous tone, "I have been a huge fan of yours ever since the August issue of 18," L addressed Misa.
Misa then seemed to snap out of her confusion. "What? Really? That's so sweet of you!" She exclaimed happily.
It takes a short glance to see bunches of humans swarming towards Misa, "I'm out! See you all later!" I exclaim, running before it gets too crowded.
I run all the way back to my dorm room, where Alciel greets me with his usual 'Welcome home my lord, bla bla bla'.
"Hey Lucifer, could you look up Misa Amane for me?" I ask.
He turns to me, "No need, what do you need to know about a pretty young lady such as herself?" He asked.
I sigh, "Of course this'd be the kind of thing you'd recognize. I was just wondering who she is, nothing too specific," I tell him.
"Let's see," Lucifer thinks for a moment, "She's an up and coming model, young. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any living family, pretty young too, 19 I believe. Generally dresses in Gothic or Punk fashion," He listed.
"When and how did her parents die?" I ask.
"Are you trying to stalk her or something?" Lucifer asks.
"No! I just met her and had to run before she got swarmed by fans and was wondering who she was," I explained.
"In that case," Lucifer paused, typing a few words into his computer, "Her parents were killed in an attempted robbery, the man who was accused got let free. Oh, this is interesting, the man who probably killed her parents was killed by Kira a few weeks before the second Kira showed up," He told me.
"So she's probably a big fan of Kira," I conclude, more to myself than anyone else, "Thanks Lucifer," I thank him curtly.
Is it possible that Misa is the second Kira? She definitely fits the profile. If she is though, that means that Light might actually be Kira, something I never actually believed or thought about. If that's the case, then if she found out who L was… she could kill him easily. After he died, it might actually be possible for Kira to slowly take over the world, which was something only I was ever supposed to do. Which means I need to contact L.
I pull out my phone, quickly punching in the number L gave us in case we needed to talk to him.
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
He wasn't picking up! I guess I'd just have to head over to where he was staying and tell him there.
I grab Dullahan and bike at top speed, which sadly isn't as fast as I'd like. I arrive in half an hour, and practically fall off of my bike in exhaustion. I stumble almost drunkenly through the door, but manage to finally reach where L is.
I burst into the room without a second thought, within moments I locate L, "I think Misa Amane *pant* might be the second Kira," I blurt out.
L looks at me with a blank face, "That is the conclusion I reached also, she has been imprisoned," He told me.
"You *pant* could've *pant* told me that *pant* before I freaking *pant* biked all the way here!" I growl.
"I apologize, I assumed you wouldn't reach that conclusion this quickly," L told me.
"Hmph," I huff, sitting down on the couch.
L sticks the tip of his thumb in his mouth, which makes me shudder, if there's anything I know about L, it's that that is never a good sign. "Considering that Light is imprisoned, it would only be fair if I put you into custody as well," he mentioned thoughtfully, my eyes widened almost comically.
A rush of negative human emotions gave me a good boost in magic and confidence, the latter because I knew the others didn't agree with what L was doing either. "What! That won't work out well, because…" I trail off.
"I have already prepared a cell to keep you in Sadao, and I will allow one phone call to tell your roommates that you'll be away for a while," L told me.
If I object it will make me seem all the more suspicious, so what choice do I have? "Fine," I growl, pulling out my phone and dialing Lucifer's number (Alciel didn't have a phone, and even if he did I doubt he'd always have it on like Lucifer does).
"What's up?" Lucifer asked, I'd put my phone on speaker since they'd probably want to hear what I'm saying.
"I'm going to be away for a while for a class project, just thought I'd give you a heads up, tell Alciel when you get the chance," My instincts were screaming at me for using Alciel's real name, but if
I didn't Lucifer'd probably get suspicious.
"Cool," He replied, then I ended the call.
L was looking at me intently, "Alciel is Shiro Ashiya's real name, correct?" He asked.
I look at him with wide eyes, "How'd you figure that out?"
"I didn't mention this, but when you first went to your dorm I had ordered Watari to bug it because Light was my prime suspect at the time, incidentally, I heard an exchange that suggested that you are not the friend but the master of Alciel," L explained, "When Urushihara suggested looking for camera's, I had Watari remove them, but that whole event was recorded," He continued.
I blink, so was he saying Lucifer's paranoia actually paid off?
"Enough stalling though, Aizawa, Matsuda, please cuff Sadao and escort him to his cell," L ordered.
AN So yeah… sometimes I wonder if I can't decide if Maou is a stupid blubbering idiot or a sneaky lying genius. I want to say he's somewhere in between, but it's more like he's both at the same time. What do you guys think? Also, if the sequel is Avengers, how many of you will read it?
Cya! Peace out!
