Esho woke up with a startle,rubbing her forehead slightly as she looked to the right seeing L's back turned to her.
While he was working on the case,he looked over his shoulder. "I see you're awake. Good morning,Esho-Chan."
Esho nodded as her shoulder muscles tensing as she looked down. "Is something bothering you?" L asked.
"Just a bad dream." Esho said casually shaking her head. "Would you like to talk about it?" L said turning around, giving her his full divided attention.
"No thanks." Esho stretched. "I'll get over it,thank you though."
L nodded just as he was about to go back to doing his work,"Ryuuzaki!" Satoru said rushing in,making L instinctively look up.
"We found some new information on Kira!"
Ryuuzaki nodded and with that,he quickly jumped off the bed landing on his feet gracefully running to the main room,leaving Esho no choice but to follow along. Satoru following behind him,they looked at the screen.
"We found another Kira!" Satoru exclaimed,as the rest of the police force were eying the screen with cups of coffee in their hands.
The smell of the creamy coffee enlightened her senses,as she looked towards her father Satoru giving him her best puppy dog look. Satoru sighed,"Fine,Esho how do you like your coffee?"
"Alot of cream and no sugar." Satoru nodded,as he walked away.
Esho looked to the screen. "And also..some sort of messages?" L typed in a few things quickly,as Esho tilted her head trying to see what he was typing before she could ask. The screen showed numerous messages of some type.
Satoru came back,handing Esho her coffee as he turned to the screen. "A code?"
It showed some sort of..magic symbology? And..an alchemy circle?
Heh heh,I've read about alchemy. Us death gods use it all the time.
Is that so Ryuk?
Mhm,plus you would know if I gave your powers to your full extent but that wouldn't be so entertaining.
How thoughtful of you.
So,you ready to meet Light?
Yeah,but first we gotta get through this. And knowing Ryuuzaki,he'll probably bring what he can't decode to L.
Haha,now you're getting smart.
L looked around. "Watari?" Watari came from the kitchen and looked at L. "Yes?" He asked smiling.
"Could you please print the evidence out before we meet Light?"
Watari nodded.
L inclined his head,and continued to go back to work. As for Esho,Esho was sitting there falling asleep. Even this was boring her,but..what other choice did she have?
Ryuk,what do you think Ls doing?
It wouldn't be very fun if I told you. Ask for yourself.
Esho lifted her head glancing over to L. "Ryuuzaki,what are you doing?"
"I am creating a false card for Light. I want to test him." He said casually placing his thumb to his lips.
"By testing his reaction right?"
"Yes,that is correct."
Esho looked at Ryuuzaki and then at the screen. "May I watch?"
L inclined his head.
Hey wait a minute,L wouldn't just except just like that. He's probably testing me too!
What makes you certain?
Think of it,L would question it. So technically,he's testing to see if I'd tell him if there is a false card. So Alas,he'd know if I was working with Kira or not!
Watari came out from the room,handing L the card,L took the card cautiously and placed the cards in his pocket. He looked toward Esho."Are you ready to leave?" Esho nodded as she grabbed her pockabook handed by her father. "See you Dad." Satoru mumbled. "See you too,hun." The task force looked at him as if he was on planet WTH?
Esho raised a brow and shook her head slightly confused,L began to walk ahead with Esho following behind. Esho was fiddling with her hair,with one finger and tapping her finger to a beat. "May I ask what you find so repeatitive?" "I have a song stuck in my head." Esho said.
"I see.." L replied. As they walked out,the clouds began to gather as light drops of water began to pour onto the earth. Esho froze,"Wow..Is this you're car?"
L nodded,as he walked to the black limo opening the door for her. Esho walked in before him,and sat at the near seat as L climbed in after.
Esho leaned her head against the window,watching the rain beginning to pour faster. Feeling the engine vibrate against her,was calming to her. The ride was quiet,as the car had stopped. Esho woke up seeing her nap was over,L opened the door as he climbed out letting Esho follow behind. Esho yawned slightly stretching her arms,as L closed the door walking ahead of her forcing her out of her stretching position. "What a nice nap.." Esho said groggily.
L shrugged off her comment as they entered the store,A man no more than six feet turned around. His eyes were a deep brown showing coldness and determination,his hair matching his eye color. He faked a kind smile as he lended out his hand,"Light Yagami. Nice to meet you." Esho hestitantly shook his hand. As she then saw the shinigami Ryuk standing behind him,glancing her eyes to him. "Well,are we ready?"
Light nodded,as him L and Esho all walked themselves to the booth sitting down. Esho sat down beside L,as everyone took their orders. Light ordered coffee,L ordered a ton of sweets,and Esho just ordered a tea. "Light Yagami,please tell me. If you met Kira,what would you do?" "Easy,I'd interrogate how he's been killing the criminals."
"I see,I've asked most people this question and they take a while before they could answer. You're quite something,Light Yagami."
Light chuckled. "Something as a human."
Ryuuzaki had then pulled out three cards,setting them on the table. "I have three of these cards,they are part of what Kira had sent in. Take as much time as you like to decode." L placed his thumb in his mouth,watching Lights moves.
Esho took a sip of her tea,glancing at him as well.
Light took the cards in the palm of his hands,analyzing the front and back.
Esho's POV I kept glancing at him,as kind as he may be on the outside. I sense a suspicous aura around him,a dark wave of red surrounding him. I have a bad feeling about him,and the way he talked. It was more of a cocky kind of way. There's something behind this 'I'm-too-perfect' kind of guy. And I'm going to get to the bottom of it. I'm sure. Light finally placed down the cards,spreading them around. "Okay,It says here 'Did you know shinigami only eat red apples?' but if you flip them around by the SKU,it says 'Know only shinigami eat red apples did'." L finally put down his thumb. "Correct,but I'm afraid to say you were wrong." Lights eyes widened a bit. "How do you mean?" "I mean you didn't suspect that there might be a forth card." L pulled out another card from his pocket laying it on the table. "So if you switch it around like this thee outcome would be,'L did you know shinigami only eat red apples?'
L pulled back to his usual stance. "But,I do think you have potential in helping us find Kira. We can use you're kind of deducting ability." Light smiled. "I don't know how much help I'll be,but I'll do the best I can to provide assistance." I kept quiet as I watched the two talk for hours on end about this. And that dark energy,I suddenly shuddered in my seat as I took a sip of my tea. Light blinked as he turned torwards me,"Are you cold?" I smiled as politely as I could. "No,I'm fine. Thank you though." "We can go outside if you like." Light said smiling at me. For some reason,I felt rage boil in my body. I swallowed my tea again,trying to wash it away. "That's kind of you Light,but I'm fine." L watched me and Light 'friendly-chat'. To be honest I found both him and Light annoying. But for Light,that rage was hard to hold in.
Breaking the chit-chat,L's phone rang as he picked it up in a quick yet graceful way holding his phone in an odd way. "Yes?" There was a short pause before he continued. "I understand,I'll be there." Ryuuzaki hanged up placing his phone back in his pocket.
"I'm sorry,but I'm afraid we have to leave. We found more information." He said looking towards me.
I inclined my head as I scooted out of the booth,along with L. L and me walked ahead as Light followed behind. The rain unfortunately got heavier,I turned to Light. "The rains gotten heavier. You be careful ok?" I said reassuringly. He inclined his head with a curled smile. "You be careful also." L opened the door,as he walked in first.
Before entering,I turned to look at Light,his hand was balled in a fist. What's with this guy? Shrugging it off,I slid myself into the car closing the door.
"So,Ryuuzaki what do you think of Light?"
"Hm..I think we should keep a closer eye on him."
Ryuuzaki nodded,as I leaned my head against the window.
"Watari! Look out!" Ryuuzaki's call lifted me out of my thoughts,as I heard Watari slam the breaks. I felt my world around me spinning and spinning until a large crash has collided with the car. The window next to me was smashed,shards of glass throughout the entire car. I felt a slight shudder,my head was probably broken from being smashed into the glass.
I groggily sat up,groaning in pain. I hissed and grimaced,as how hard my head hurt. It felt like the power of a hundred million demons attacking at me all at once. I inhaled a sharp breath,My vision was blurry as I looked up beginning to see fire start inside of the car. Everyone here needed me,and I wasn't about to ignore it. I weakly crawled over to L,who was unconcious from the crash.
A cut on his eyebrow and a bruise on his upper lip. I grabbed him by the shirt as hard as I could,already I felt the cold wind hit me again. Shuddering,I dragged him towards me. Kicking the car door open as hard as I could,I got him in a tight grip as I struggled to get him out of the car. Alot of time was being wasted,I really needed a miracle to get me strong again. Making sure L was safe and a distance away from the car. I made an effort to stand on my two legs. But unfortunately fell,"Come on!" I yelled at myself gritting my teeth tightly.
"I..I gotta save Watari!" I lectured myself again. I headed to the car door,yanking it open. The fire was spreading faster than I thought it would. I looked under the car,seeing that the oil was linking and linking closer to the fire,If I don't get Watari,L or myself out of here.
We're screwed.
I grabbed Watari hard by the jacket,as I struggled to pull him out of his carseat,undoing the seat belt. I pushed him towards me,un-expected by how much he weighed it crushed me. Groaning slightly,I felt the blood beginning to go in my vision. Shaking my head,I cried out in pain. That was a bad idea.
I continued to struggle to get him near to Watari. I gulped as the whole entire fire immediately struck the car. I gave a hoarse cry as I tried pulling both of them away from the fire as hard as I could.
I suddenly felt something water around my eyes,and suddenly it happened. I was crying at the state Watari and Ryuuzaki were in. I patted my pockets seeing if I had a phone,unfortunately I didn't bring it. I looked at L,and patted his pockets for his cellphones. Succeding,I hastily opened the phone and dialed my fathers number.
"..Dad?" "Esho? What are you doing on Ryuuzaki's phone?"
"We were just in a car-crash,I need you to send a car." "Sorry Esho,I'm a little busy." I flinched as I heard the dial-tone end. "AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A FUCKING FATHER?" I screamed at the phone.
I looked up into the sky as it began to thunder and lightning in the sky,I bawled my eyes slowly looking down as I placed a hand on Ryuuzakis chest. I screamed at the top of my lunges,"CAN SOMEONE HELP?" I looked around seeing the road was dead. No-one was coming. And finally,The car had blown up as I covered both L and Watari from being near the flames. I shuddered as I looked up,my vision was beginning to become faint. My head is pounding,close enough to call it a migrane.
I had to call someone that was willing to help. My hands began to shake,seeing how helpless it was.
And with the little strength I had,I grabbed both Watari and L who were still un-concious. The fog up ahead made it hard for me to see where we were going. As we walked for God knows how long,we finally made it to the police headquarters. I suddenly dropped L and Watari,And I had then collasped on the ground panting slowly,as I saw Soichiro Yagami walk out. He flinched as he rushed toward me,He then put on his phone shouting into it. "Get everyone out here! It's an emergency! Are you ok,Esho?"
And everything had gone black...
In a world of darkness was where I was.
Where beauty is dead and dry.
Slowly in time,beauty will remain.
