Lina: okay, the long overdue chapter. I'm sorry, I still have writer's block. I've also started other stories and haven't worked on them very much. I really want to, and then the day just slips by, and I'm in bed already. So yeah… here is the second to last chapter!
Matsu: I will catch Kira!
Lina: Maybe. You will have to see!
Spiral/Death Note: Impenetrable Fear
Chapter 5
It was a week later after Ayumu and the others had joined the Task Force. They had made some progress as to suspects for Kira, but they were all family members of those that were on the Force. Rio had asked her boss if he could help in any way without being seen, but he declined, knowing who Kira was and the risks. Rio understood, but had wanted his help, since she had trusted him for 3 years, and still did.
"Wasn't your son, Light, a suspect, Chief Yagami?" Kousuke asked. The Chief nodded slowly. "I heard he was supposed to be a great detective. Why don't we bring him on the task force?" Kousuke asked. Everyone looked wide-eyed at him.
"That is a great idea, Chief," Matsuda commented, smiling. The Chief glared at him, and then back at Kousuke.
"We don't have any leads, and we might even get some information and his thoughts on the case. He obviously knows about Kira, since everyone in this town does by now, why not?"
"Kousuke, was it? I don't feel comfortable bringing my son into such a dangerous situation. He's studying to get into college," the Chief said, Kousuke nodded when he had said his name.
"I agree with Kousuke, sir. We could use a civilian, and knowing you, he's obviously a smart kid," Rio said. The Chief smiled slightly, and grunted.
"All right. I'll ask him," he said and went off to call Light. Ayumu and Eyes smiled, they were finally going to get somewhere in this case. Not that Ayumu had any doubt in himself, he had thought of himself as a great detective, now that he had his own branch. Before, yes, he would have faltered, but he had at least some confidence.
Light Yagami agreed to work with the task force, and joined them immediately. He came the next day and began discussing the case. Eyes found him an interesting person, even Rio wanted to hear his opinion. There was still some suspicion, considering that he was one of the suspects. Ayumu had asked the Chief what had happened, and learned that Light had been confined for a certain period of time in order to confirm his innocence. He also learned that there was a second Kira, who may have been working with the original. L was most insightful and he and Light seemed to get along, for the most part. A couple of times, Ayumu saw Light grinning, not just any grin, a grin so piercing that the only thing capable of making it, would be a demon. Ayumu thought nothing of it though, and went back to work.
"So what do you think of this situation, Light?" L asked. Watari, his butler, came in with a whole tray full of deserts for L. Ayumu noticed that the teen only ate sweets, and nothing else. He wondered why the sweet addict wasn't screaming with pain from all the cavities. L took one of the slices of strawberry cake and ate it whole, licked his fingers, and was about to take another one before Light spoke.
"I think we have to find the second Kira in order to get to the first. Although it's just my guess that they are working with the original. We don't know for sure and we don't even know how this Kira is killing people," he stated. L shifted slightly in his seat, sitting with his knees up to his chin, which Ayumu also thought was strange. Eyes and Rio were also in the office, as well as the Chief, Matsuda, and Suichi.
"Well, we do know that all he or she needs is a face and a name, and then they will either die of a heart attack or commit suicide," Eyes inputted.
"We need to set up a parameter for a search party, and see what information everyone can gather, this way we can pinpoint, or at least guess, the exact location of where Kira lives," Ayumu suggested.
"That is a valid plan, but what if we don't find anything? There is something wrong with your thinking, Little Kiyotaka," L stated, eating the last piece of cake that was on the tray, and licking his fingers while looking up. Ayumu stood up, angry.
"Stop calling me that! I am not my brother, I will surpass him," Ayumu grumbled. L shrugged and looked back over to the monitor. "We need something, there's no way we can know who this guy is," Ayumu stated.
Suddenly, all of the monitors when to white, and then a letter N in Algerian writing came on the screens. Everyone blinked, but remained quiet, since what they heard next, silenced them.
"Hello. Members of the NPA, I have some information that may be of use to you. I think I know who the second Kira is," the voice said. There was a pause, and then the young voice spoke again, "I figured it out by process of illumination. It had to be someone with connections to the police force, since they killed Raye Penber. I narrowed it down to two suspects--" the voice started.
"Wait a minute, who the hell are you, how did you get this number?" The Chief yelled, slamming his palm to the desk. Mogi walked in at that moment, confused.
"What's going on?" He whispered.
"This person says he knows who the second Kira might be," Matsu replied.
"I got this number because I have connections. Who I am is none of your concern. Now, back to the situation. The second Kira has to be someone who knows a person in the task force, correct? So, I narrowed it down to either Mr. Yagami, or Mr. Aizawa's family. I took the liberty of checking out Mr. Aizawa's family, they don't seem like the type to be killers," the voice stopped, as if waiting for a reaction.
"Wait a minute, you suspected my family? How dare you!" Suichi yelled. The Chief held up a hand behind him, signaling Suichi to stop. He backed down.
"Even if we believe you, how do we know we can trust you?" Ayumu asked, eyes still glued to the screen.
"Ah, the little brother of Kiyotaka. I've heard about you. I want L, Light, and you to meet me at the Shinjuku subway station tonight at midnight, there we will talk," the voice said and then the screens went back to normal before anyone could say anything. The room was total silence, until someone broke out into laughter. A laughter that could have pierced anyone's hearts.
Lina: Ooooo, what will happen in the last chapter? Sorry it's so short and it kind of sucks, but believe me, you'll be surprised as to what happens. I didn't add the Yotsuba group in there and I'm not going to have Teru, just for a hint. Heh
Eyes: More of me!
Lina: Yes, there will be more of everyone… that sounds bad. Lol Well, look forward to the last chapter, which will be sooner than I had this one up, I kept my promise though! Wishing everyone a happy New Year! Jaa!
