Chapter Seven

"You know, Ayano-san, you don't have to stay here. You're from the States, right? C'mon! You're in Tokyo! Go sightseeing!" Matsuda said. I watched the actors toil on in front of the fountain.

"Thank you, Matsuda-san. I might just do that." I sighed.

"Hey, while you're out, could you get me some coffee?" Misa asked, popping up behind me.

"Dwaaah!" I jumped, then sighed heavily. "…Don't do that. Sure. See you later!" I took my purse and walked off towards the cute little coffee shop just around the corner. I entered the door and walked up to the counter.

"Two coffees, please." I said, pushing some yen up onto the counter. He smiled.

"What name?" He asked.

"Ayano, please." I said. He nodded and I went to go sit down at a table. Strange….a man wearing sunglasses seemed to be staring at me intently. It was kind of creeping me out. I coughed and tried to ignore him.

"Ayano! Your coffee is ready!" Someone shouted. I hurriedly got up and took the coffees.

"Thanks." I said, then turned and began to walk out the door.

"Ayano, huh?" A voice said behind me. I jumped, almost spilling the coffee. I looked behind me. It was that creepy guy again. Was he….?

"Er….yes…." I said.

"Possibly….Ayano Tayama?" The guy asked.

"I…I don't know what you're talking about." I said quickly.

"Please….Ayano….it's not a good idea to go into Japan under the same alias you used for the FBI." The guy said, taking off his sunglasses.

"…..T….Toshiro….." I gasped. He smirked.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it, Ayano?" He asked.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, feeling my throat starting to constrict.

"Let's not talk out here, people are staring. Let's take a walk outside." Toshiro said.

"But I need to take this coffee to…." Ayano started. Toshiro pulled out a gun swiftly and put it against my back in a way that nobody in the coffee shop could see. My heart started pounding.

"Let's go outside." He said. My back stiffened and he led me outside.

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

"Information." He said. "Don't tell me that you're here for a vacation. I know that you've gone here to help L out with the Kira case."

"H….How do you know about that?" I asked. Toshiro smirked.

"I guess you still fall for this stuff. I'm now 100% sure that you came here to help L." He laughed.

"Well why are you bugging me about L? I thought that the FBI was done with helping him." I said.

"Well, the head of the FBI believes that L could be Kira. We're trying to investigate him as much as we can." Toshiro said. I gasped. L….Kira? How absurd!

"That's ridiculous!" I said. "L isn't Kira! Why would he set this up? Why not just be Kira? Why does there even have to be an L? How could the FBI assume something like that?"

"Hmph. An excepted reaction." Toshiro said. "Since you actually know him in person, we'd like you to pass information about L to us."

"Toshiro! I'm not an FBI agent anymore! You can't make me do anything like this!" I snapped.

"Can't I?" Toshiro asked, removing the safety of his gun.

"Sure Toshiro, kill me right here in front of all of these people, I'm sure that nobody will notice." I said, glaring at him. Suddenly, my cell phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket. An unknown number. The only one who could get through with that was…

"Answer it." Toshiro said. "But remember, I'm not here." I opened my cell phone.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Ayano-chan. There's a problem. We need you at the headquarters ASAP." L said.

"I'll be there as soon as possible…." I said.

"Ayano-chan? Are you alright? Did something happen to you?" L asked. I took a quick glance at Toshiro.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I'll be over there in no time." I said, then shut the phone.

"Ayano-chan, eh?" Toshiro asked. "So you two are pretty close…."

"Toshiro, I need to get going." I said.

"….Hmph. Ayano, don't forget what I said here today. Don't tell L you met me. I'll contact you in a few days. Make sure you reply." He took his gun off of my back, and I turned to walk towards the headquarters.

L called me….something must have gone wrong …I hope everyone's okay…. I thought nervously.

So, I know I haven't written any of this for awhile... and hopefully this'll put a new spin on things! Hope you like it! :3 review!
