Lina: Okay, I know it's been awhile, but I have been having trouble with this fic. I had so many good ideas, and then I lost them. I hate it when that happens. But hopefully this one won't be too boring.
Rio: I'll scare everyone away!
Lina: You can be creepy sometimes. Heh Here goes.
Sprial/Death Note: Impenetrable Fear
Chapter 4: Fate
Rio stared at her desk that was full of paperwork and folders. She sighed. She worked for a private investigator in the west part of the Shinjuku district. Even though Rio was young, the investigator hired her because she was good at her job. She missed Eyes and Kousuke though, and decided to take a short vacation.
Ayumu sat at his desk, hands covering the back of his neck, looking down. He almost fell forward when he heard a knock on the door.
"Ayumu!" A familiar voice rang out. He turned his head and saw Rio standing there, wearing a red tank top and yellow pants. She had her hair tied the way she normally did, in two pig-tails.
"Rio, how are you?" He asked. Rio smiled as she set down her bag. Ayumu motioned her to sit in the chair in front of his desk and she did so.
"I'm doing all right, you?"
"Frustrated at the moment. Eyes and Kousuke should be coming back soon with lunch."
"Why are you frustrated?" Rio asked. Ayumu filled her in on what happened in the last week. She was surprised.
"Wow, you went after someone like that? My boss is afraid to even touch that case. He's only a private investigator, but he told me that if we ever got involved, that the guy would probably try and kill us. He wasn't lying, that's for sure," Rio stated. Eyes and Kousuke came in and Rio went up to Eyes and hugged him. "Eyes! How are you?"
"Pretty good, and you?" He asked. She smiled.
"Great! And Kousuke, been keeping out of trouble?" Rio asked.
"You told her what we've been doing, haven't you?" Kousuke asked, turning to Ayumu. He nodded. Ayumu flipped open his laptop and began typing. Suddenly a white screen with the letter K in Algerian font came on the screen. Everyone gathered around the laptop and listened to the voice with the voice changer.
"Hello, by now you know that I am willing to put anyone in harm's way, as long as it means that I am safe. If you want to continue this investigation, you will first have to go to the police headquarters. You can do that, right little Kiyotaka?" The voice asked, sarcastically.
"How do you know that I have a brother?!" Ayumu yelled. The voice laughed.
"You forget how good I am. Remember, I knew about your friend, the girl with the long orange hair."
"Damn it! Don't bring her into this, I'll go to the police station, just tell me what time," Ayumu said, slamming a fist down on the desk.
"Anytime within the next two days is good, if you don't, I'll kill off your friends. Eyes Rutherford, Kousuke Asazuki and Rio Takeuchi," the voice said, laughed, and then the screen went back to normal. Rio was surprised.
"I just got here, I must have been followed. But how did he know I was with you?" She asked.
"He's one sneaky bastard. He even wants to kill us off," Kousuke said. Ayumu stood up. He started to walk out, grabbing his coat.
"Wait! Are you stupid? This could be a trap," Eyes stated. Ayumu stopped and turned around, eyes clouded.
"I don't care. I hate it waiting for something to happen, when I can do something about it! I'm not going to allow anymore killings!" He yelled. The other employees in the building heard him as well.
"You really have changed," Rio said. The room was silent for a minute.
"What are we waiting for, let's go to the police station," Kousuke said. Eyes nodded.
"He didn't say anything about you guys coming too, he only wants me," Ayumu said.
"He didn't say that specifically, besides, I want to see what's at the police station that he's so interested in," Eyes said. Ayumu sighed. He knew that he could not convince them to stay, so he gave in.
"All right, but please be careful. We still don't know how this guy is killing. He has our names, which means he probably knows what we look like as well," Ayumu explained. Everyone nodded and they left the building and got into Ayumu's car, except for Eyes, who had rented a motorcycle.
When the group arrived at the police station, and everyone got out, Rio asked,
"I didn't know you could ride a motorcycle, Eyes." They all entered the building.
"Yeah, I just got a license in Paris. They're pretty fun," Eyes replied. Then he looked serious as they went to the front desk.
"Hello, this is Ayumu Kiyotaka. I am here… to talk to the chief," Ayumu said. The girl at the desk checked her computer.
"I'm sorry, I have no appointment for you listed," she stated. Ayumu turned to Eyes, who shrugged. Ayumu was about to say something when a door opened to the right. A short, hunched over teenager came through it. He wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
"It's all right, Miyu. You can let them through. I heard from Kira that they would be joining us," the guy said. He had spiky black hair that reminded Ayumu of a palm tree, and dark circles under his eyes.
"And who are you?" Kousuke asked.
"I am known as Hideki Ryuga. Pleasure to meet you," the teenager said as he started to walk towards the door again. "Will you all follow me, please?" Hideki asked.
"Should we trust him?" Rio asked Ayumu. He just nodded and followed Hideki. They entered a room with computers on the back wall, six in the middle and two on either sides, and a couple on the middle table. Rio and Kousuke were impressed. There were three people standing at the front panel, and one on the left hand side, and two on the right. Hideki walked up to the front, as did Ayumu and the others. Hideki introduced the men from left to right.
"This is our task force. Here we have Hideki Ike, Hirokaza Ukita, Shuichi Aizawa, Kanzo Mogi, Touta Matsuda, and the chief; Soichiro Yagami. We welcome you," he said. Everyone smiled and bowed.
Ayumu bowed as well and introduced Eyes, Kousuke and Rio. After the formalities, they were showed around the station, and were able to get a grasp of where the investigation was heading. Ayumu also learned that Hideki was called L, and was told to keep it strictly confidential. It would interesting from here on out, Ayumu knew, and so did everyone else. Not just interesting, but life threatening. Ayumu was not about to back down either. He wanted to catch Kira at all costs.
Lina: So what did you think? I will have matsu in the next chapter a lot, since I like him. Hehe He will probably get along with Kousuke the best, since they both seem to be more childish, mind wise. But what did you think? Sorry it wasn't that interesting, and that it took forever. I hate writer's block. I can't do anything right now it seems.
Ayumu: There's more than meets the eye!
Lina: lol that's case closed, silly, which is an awesome show too. Well, the next one won't take as long, since I know what's going to happen now. And it's going to have two more chapters. So look forward to it! And thanks for the reviews, they make my day.
