CHAPTER SEVEN: The Discovery

"Isn't that…Light?" Megumi pointed at him. Hikari narrowed her eyes.

"Yuri-chan!" their friend was there, her face showed the fear that she was feeling.

Megumi ran towards her and she followed a little far behind. She looked at the young man and found him talking to someone. She took a good look at that person and she recognized him. He was one of the FBI investigators that L sent here to Japan. Ray Penbar was his name.

He suddenly left after talking with Light. Then the young man's gaze fell to her. She narrowed her eyes at him then it softened when she remembered back then, when they were still the best of friends.

"I'm so glad you're here! I-I was so scared!" Yuri said as she hugged Megumi.

"Ne, Raito, it's her again! Haha! Would you believe me if I tell you that she can see me?" the Shinigami said to the young man. This made Light narrow his eyes on him but he wouldn't believe such thing.

"We'll take Yuri to her house, if you don't mind." She said in a monotone.

"I'll go with all of you-" he offered.

"No need to. We can manage by ourselves." She said, abruptly declining his offer. She turned around and helped Megumi with Yuri. Then she looked at Light, her eyes gleaming with sadness.

"You forgot your promise to me…" she whispered to him but he didn't hear it.

DECEMBER 27

She took a quick glance at her wristwatch before looking back at the crowded place around her. It was 3:00 p.m. already. She decided that she would just enjoy herself for a while then she would go straight home. Since that accident, she hadn't gotten any decent sleep and nightmares were haunting her. It was really bothersome and tiring for her mind. She massaged her right temple upon thinking of it, yet again.

She looked at some shops that might interest her but nothing seemed to succeed. She stopped to her tracks when she saw many people rounding up a shop.

'Nani goto? (What's happening?)' she thought. Curiosity getting the better of her, she walked closer to it and stood on her toes to take a look since people were blocking her way. However, she saw something at the corner of her eyes. She stood back to her feet and looked at that direction.

There she saw Ray Penbar, standing there. But there was someone else that stood behind him. When she caught sight of the Shinigami, she new it was Light. She stayed there for a while, observing what would happen next.

He was not going to kill Ray Penbar, was he? He wouldn't! Ray Penbar was not a criminal!

She became alert at seeing that grin of Light. He was up to no good. Then Light walked away as he gave Ray a brown paper envelope. Ray took out something, a transceiver. He then put the earphone to his ear.

He walked towards the Yamanote Line but she didn't follow him. She followed Light. When Light went inside the train, she followed with a little distance, carefully to not be seen by him or his Shinigami. He was busy talking to the transceiver that he didn't even notice her.

She was startled when her cellphone rang. Light was also too and he quickly looked at her. But she was already facing away from him so he didn't see her face.

'Who the hell is calling me at a time like this?!' she answered it and talked in a hushed voice.

"Moshi moshi." She greeted, irritated.

"What's the matter with you, Hikari-chan? Why are you talking so soft? And where are you?" Megumi asked in a scolding manner.

"Let's talk later. I'm in a middle of something. And please, call me later. Ja,"

"Matte, Hikari-chan!-" she clicked the end call button, interrupting her friend. She turned off her cellphone when Megumi attempted to call her again. She apologized silently to her friend at what she did.

She glanced at her wristwatch again. It was 4:41 p.m. already. They took a while. The train stopped on its next stop and Ray walked outside of the train. She watched him then was surprised when he started to act strange.

He clasped his chest as if it was hurting. He dropped his envelope and knelt when the pain was unbearable. She looked at Light and saw him standing on the entrance and exit of the train. He looked at Ray.

"Sayonara, Ray Penbar." He muttered to him and the doors closed.

"Iie…" she said. Light was…Kira?!

Memories of her and him together came flooding back to her. His smile, his laugh, his innocent deeds- he was far different from now. How could he turn to something sinister like this? The Light she knew would never kill.

Her body shook in fright. Her breath staggered. She couldn't believe it! She couldn't accept it! Light…he was a murderer! Someone noticed that she had gone pale and asked her if she was all right. She didn't respond, her mind completely occupied with her discovery.

'No…! Light could never do something such as this! NO!' but the events that just occurred proved that he did- that he was Kira, the killer and murderer.

She quickly ran out of the train when she saw that the doors had opened and Light walked out. She ran after him, her mind clouded with regret and frustration.

Light turned around when someone held his arm. As he did, a hand met his left cheek hard.

"That got to hurt," the creature behind him said.

Tears were strolling down her cheeks. Why? Why would Light do such things? He was Kira after all this time?! And she believed he wouldn't do such inhuman acts.

Light held his reddened cheek then looked questioningly at Hikari. She was crying. But why?

"Why?" she mumbled to him, saying out what he was just thinking.

"Why did you have to kill him?" she asked to him.

What the heck was she talking about? Wait…was she implying at Ray Penbar?

"I thought you were different from any other people…" she said.

"Raito, she knows." Ryuk said to him.

That made his eyes widen. He quickly took her hand and led her away from that place. He took her to the park. Good thing nobody was there. Just him, Ryuk…and her.

"Are you going to kill me also?" she stated to him in a monotone. Tears were still glistening down her cheeks; she was still crying.

"I know for a fact that you will because I found out your darkest secret." She added, her voice as stern as somebody's he knew.

"How?" he asked to her, his eyes narrowing at her. She did the same. Her look was piercing.

"Since I saw you pick up that notebook." She replied.

Ryuk cackled at this. "Haha. I told you why she is interesting"

"Uruse, Ryuk," he commanded, silencing the Shinigami. So Ryuk was his name, she thought. He looked back at her and he suddenly saw a different person.

"Light-kun!"

"I could care less if you'll kill me right here and now." she said, snapping him out of his trance. He saw the sadness that lies within those beautiful eyes. "You wouldn't want your precious secret spill out, would you?" she dared in a monotone.

He grinned at her as he crossed his arms. "You're not that foolish, Hikari-chan." He said. "I might…spare your life for now. Besides, you don't have that big mouth like most girls have."

She raised her right brow up. "What do you mean?" she asked, wanting him to explain what he meant by what he had said.

"I'm saying that you're not that talkative like most girls are. In simple terms, I trust you." He said. She only looked at him then at Ryuk.

"I'm flattered you do, but would you mind explaining me why is this Shinigami with you?" she said, referring to Ryuk.

"He's the real owner of the Death Note. Now, tell me," he trailed off as he looked intently at her.

"Why can you see Ryuk?" he asked with a serious tone. "You didn't touch the Death Note, did you?"

It was her turn to grin and look at him with smiling eyes. "Oh yes, I didn't. But I was born with a special gift…"

Her third eye suddenly opened and looked at the Shinigami. Ryuk smirked at the sight of it.

"…to see the unseen"
