Not at All Nice

By Alice Elric7

Chapter 2

At the sight of the missing numbers above her brother's head, Sayu instantly thought back to the only other person she'd ever met without a death date besides herself- Beyond Birthday.

Flashback! ***************************

It was right after their first job, a nasty piece of work by the name Jorge Mantel, the top of the drug business in LA. Sayu and Spice were running through one of the many alleys in the area, and they'd had stopped to catch their breathe. "What a rush!" Spice exclaimed, taking off her goggles to rub her eyes. Sayu was about to reprimand her for that, since they we're being looked for by the cops, but a creepy laugh echoed around the alleyway.

"~Kukuku… what are the two of you doing here…" A man detached himself from the shadows, holding a large butcher's knife that was dripping with blood. Sayu froze, eyes riveted to the space above his head.

"That would be our own business." Spice snarled. The man was about to speak again, but Sayu couldn't stop her mouth.

"Where are your numbers?" The man, who had been slowly approaching them, froze in shock. Spice turned to her, puzzled, while she ripped the goggles off her eyes, as if they were interfering with her sight. But his death date was still missing. Sayu's eyes flashed to his face, taking in his pale skin, spiky black hair, then his blood red irises, which were glued to the area where her name was.

"You don't have any numbers, too…" He murmured, their eyes meeting. "Do you own a Death Note?" He asked suddenly.

"A what?"

"It's a notebook that can kill people before their time is up. Do you really not own one?"

"No… I've never heard of it."

"Then you have to be like me."

"Like you?"

"Yes…you were born with the curse of the Shinigami eyes."

End of Flashback***************************

'Well fuck. I'm screwed.'

7 Days Later ******************************

Sayu knew she had only an hour to search Light's room before he got home to find his Death Note. She stood in the center of the room, trying to figure out where to start. 'The desk is the most obvious place.' She mussed. 'And Light has always liked hiding things in plain sight.'

After searching through the desk and looking for secret compartments, Sayu finally found a drawer that didn't echo back in the same way that the others did. 'Since there is no visible way of opening the secret compartment from the inside, it is likely that it isn't supposed to open this way.' So, she searched all around the drawer and found a small hole on the bottom. Believing the key to be somewhere easily accessible, Sayu saw a regular ballpoint pen. "The ink cartridge!" She hastily pulled it out and fed it through the hole to reveal the monstrous contraption inside.

'Holy shit.' Sayu thought in shock. 'If I had opened this thing the other way, the entire room would now be on fire.' She remembered when Spice had first shown this device to her—Spice playfully calling it a "naughty bomb"—and shuttered. Sayu brushed her fingers against the cover of the notebook inside and felt a small buzz. 'Defiantly a Death Note.' She thought before putting everything back in its proper place.

Quickly, Sayu raced out of Light's room and put his "booby traps" back. She snorted. Anyone could have noticed that he puts a pencil lead in his door hinge and leaves the door handle at a slightly lower angle. Going back to her room, Sayu heard the front door open and Light come into the house.

Picking up her phone, Sayu called Spice. "Hey, Maki!" she said in a super-sweet, fake voice. "You mind if I come over to your place later tonight?"

"Sure, Sayu!" Spice replied in an equally fake voice. "Come over, like, whenever."

"Kay! See you soon!"

Later *********************************

"So, what's up?" Spice asked, popping her gum. They were in an abandoned warehouse that they'd fixed up about 6 months ago, and were now proud to call it our base of operation. We were sitting in a small lounge area we made in the corner of the large space. It consisted of a long couch, a couple of multicolored armchairs, and a TV that could get Japanese, American, and Chinese stations. The rest of the space was cluttered with tableful's of stolen technology, incomplete gadgets I'd been making, and Spice's various, homemade bombs. It was messy as hell, but Sayu had always thrived on chaos.

"I know who Kira is," Sayu told her. "But without proof, we can't kill him, or else it will look like we killed an innocent for no reason. We're going to need help to get the proof."

"Are we going to break Beyond out of prison?" Spice asked excitedly.

"I will never understand your crush on him," Sayu chuckled. "Though we'll probably end up doing that later, that's not who I meant. I was talking about L."

Spice's jaw dropped. "But…why would L ever want to help us!?"

"Because I can give him something he's wanted for a year now." Sayu grinned wildly, letting some of her personal insanity shine through.

"Me."
Oh nos! The Cliffhanger of Doom! :O

This chapter and next chapter were originally to be one chapter, but I was feeling evil, so I made a cliffhanger. Please review! Ideas are always nice, constructive criticism is good, but flamers can just go shit in a bush! XD
