There was a collective gasp. Ryuuzaki's eyes widened, and he stared at the screen.
"Is it true, Watari?"
"Yes, he's killed 5 more."
"Did any of them do anything suspicious?"
"No, Ryuuzaki, they
were all found dead in their cells this morning, nothing strange at
all."
"I see."
The screen went blank, and Ryuuzaki turned to the group.
"As we all know now, Kira's on the move. We'll have to try and think of some way to stop him. Maybe this time, we'll get answers."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Everyone in the room tensed. Ryuuzaki spoke first.
"Everyone, calm down. Come in,"he said, addressing the unknown person behind the door.
The door opened, and in walked a young man. Noyoki recognized him from somewhere. She couldn't put her finger on it. As he walked into the room, she noticed Ryuuzaki watching his actions intently. He walked over to a vacant chair and sat down. It was then that he noticed her.
"Who's this?"
Noyoki looked at Ryuuzaki, who promptly introduced her to the newcomer.
"Light-kun, this is Yoki. Yoki, this is Light-kun, son of Yagami-san."
Noyoki looked at Light, summing him up. She noticed from a barely detectable emotion in his eyes that this boy was hiding something. She decided to wait and analyze the situation before telling Ryuuzaki. Light looked at her.
"Hello, Yoki. Pleased to meet you."
He seemed sincere, yet Noyoki couldn't tell. The boy seemed suspicious. And yet, she still had the feeling that she'd seen him before. She nodded a greeting. Seeming satisfied, he sat down and turned to a screen.
"So...did anything happen?"
Light seemed to have sensed the tension in the room. He'd realized that there was something going on. Ryuuzaki was the first to speak.
"Actually, yes. Kira killed 5 more."
Light's eyes widened.
"5?"
"Yes. There was nothing suspicious, however."
Light nodded in acknowledgement and turned to look at Ryuuzaki. Noyoki noticed his intent stare, and also noticed that Ryuuzaki didn't see. He was busy mixing his tea. She watched him drop about fifteen sugar cubes in his cup and stir the drink. Light seemed amused by this, but she could tell why. She'd never seen anyone use so much sugar in tea. Ryuuzaki finally noticed them watching him. He looked from Light to Noyoki to his teacup. A look of realization dawned on his face. He gave a sheepish smile, took a sip of his tea, and dumped another handful of sugar cubes in the cup. That did it. Light and Noyoki both started -san came over to their chairs.
"What's happening over here?"
Noyoki stopped laughing and looked at Ryuuzaki. He seemed to be restraining something. Light noticed, and he also stopped laughing. All three of them stared at Ryuuzaki. Matsuuda came over as well, noticing the strange disturbance. That did it. Ryuuzaki glanced at each one of them in turn, then he suddenly burst out laughing.
