Okay, chapter two! WHOO! Thank you: Yara 8D, XxCrimsonXXAngelxX and DarkFlame Alchemist for the reivews and favorites! :D I appreciate it so much! Enjoy!
"I see you made a new friend today," Ryuk commented as Light met up with the shinigami after Trinity trotted away, meeting up with a blond girl with pig tails.
"She's not a friend," Light muttered, his black gaze shooting over towards the red and black streaked hair, her topaz eyes not meeting his, "there's something wrong with her."
"Well that's a bit rude," Ryuk hovered in the air, waiting for Light to walk ahead and Trinity to disappear from view, "what's the matter with her? She seems normal to me from what I've seen."
"I think she knows something no other human should know...she sensed something..."
Ryuk stared at Light, the red, unblinking eyes confused and Kira continued on his way, his thoughts flowing through his mind, fingers grazing over the Death Note buried in his inner coat pocket.
She sensed something...it's as if she knew something about me...my being Kira...I could tell she sensed it. Wait, no, that's completely absurd! Trinity isn't a mind reader and she's more likely than not one of those weird goths or occult people that believes she's superior over everyone else. There's no need for me to be paranoid now because some goth sensed some demonic presents or something abnormal like that.
"Light," Ryuk waved his hands around, Light brushing him off and his mind continuing to ponder about Trinity.
However, ever since the Eye option Ryuk tried to give me, I can be safe to assume that Trinity may have the Shinigami Eyes...and if she does...that could be an advantage to me...however, how do I find that out for sure? It's not like I straight up ask her because if she really is one of those creepy occult people...then she can discover that I'm Kira...
"Hey! Light! Stop ignoring me!"
But on the opposite side...if she possess the Shinigami Eyes, how do I know she is even willing to help Kira? In a wild possiblity she opposes me, she could be using her Eyes in order to help L find Kira...but I have never seen her at the investigations or anywhere else around here...it is a bit weird how she just moved here and then starts acting all wierd around me...there is a possiblity she could be helping L and if she is...
"Light! Really! I hate being ignored! What gives?"
"Trinity...tell me this, Ryuk, does the chance of Trinity obtaining the Shinigami Eyes in order to aid L sound logical to you?" Light wondered and the shinigami froze in his place.
"What in the world gave you that idea?"
"Think of it this way, Trinity just appears out of nowhere soon after L suspects that I'm Kira and begins investigating me. She acted all weird around me as if she sensed something and whenever I was around her, she'd get tense and even backed away from me a few times."
"Well...she is new so it could be she's shy..."
"She didn't act like that around anyone else. In fact, she made a friend or two today without many problems."
"Another hunch I have is you're just upset a cute girl cowers away from you as if you're the Antichrist."
"Don't be ridiculous."
"I'm not...I think this is all an ego thing because usually girls are practically hanging off you, asking you to go on dates and that, then Trinity comes along and her reaction to you is a complete one eigthy from everyone else."
Light growled, his hand tightening on his shoulder strap and shoved his other hand in his pocket.
"I'm not attracted to her at all, Ryuk. It's not a matter of my ego, it's a matter of she knows something."
"Then just kill her off," Ryuk shrugged, "what is she to you?"
"I can't do that either."
"Why not?"
"Because, if she really is working undercover for L then my killing her would only force me under greater suspicion."
"And if she isn't working for L...?"
"Then she could be useful to me."
I should have known he'd say that...Ryuk scolded himself.
At Misa's House...
Trinity tapped her pen against her text book, her mind entertaining thoughts about Light Yagami rather than chemistry and she rested her chin on her palm, legs kicking the air lightly.
There is something strange about him...she pondered, he's hiding something...I wonder what it is though...hopefully I didn't make anything too obvious...I'd rather not people lable me as some supernatural freak...but I wonder if anyone else suspects something weird about Light too. I mean, he's perfect...and on my opinion, it's always the ones that have the seemingly perfect life are the ones that mask the darkest secrets...
"Trinity-chan!" Misa called through the house and the front door slammed, making the teen jump. Her bouyant footsteps bounced up the stairs, her hand pushing open Trinity's bedroom door and Trinity sat up.
"Hey, Misa-san, Rem-san," Trinity greeted and Misa skipped over to her, flopping down on the bed and Rem hovered next to them, "how was your day?"
"Tiring!" Misa exclaimed and the half shinigami crossed her legs, tilting her head, listening to what the blond had to say.
"How so?"
Misa sat up, her pigtails swaying and she too crossed her legs before fumbling for the TV remote, switching the mini television on to the news. Trinity cocked her eyebrows, wondering what the perky model was up to now and focused her topaz gaze towards the screen.
"...I hope Kira comes to see me as an ally-"
Trinity switched the television off, not wanting to be distracted from her homework (as boring as it may be) and shot Misa a glance of intolerance.
"Misa-san, not now-"
"Wait a minute," Misa's blue eyes were wide with shock and she crept closer to Trinity, who backed up against her head board, "you don't know, do you?"
"Know what?"
"The Kira Case!"
"The who of what?"
Misa's jaw dropped and Trinity turned to Rem for an explination.
"Rem-san, elaborate?"
"Kira is an unidentified existance that judges criminals and kills them and some view him as one that brings justice to the world. Others view him as a mass murderer and the dectecive L is working on the case, hoping to catch him," Rem explained and Trinity blinked, comprehending.
"How does he manage to kill his victims?"
"To my understanding, he uses a Death Note. That's the only way he'd be able to kill from a distance."
"Wow," Trinity rubbed the back of her neck and glanced over at Misa, who was surveying about the room, not really paying attention to the conversation between the two shinigamis. "You have a Death Note, don't you Misa-san?"
"I'm not Kira though," she confirmed and leaped off the bed, spinning over to the door, "come on, let's go shopping."
"But my school work-?"
"You can do it when we get back. We won't be gone too long," Misa promised and seized her friend's hand before she could protest further.
I don't get much of a choice with Misa-san...but oh well...she's allowing me to live under her roof so, the least I can do is just be respectful.
Rem spread her wings and flew above the two girls, casting a looming shadow that only they could see over them as Misa skipped ahead of them, Trinity digging her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket after popping the collar.
"Misa," Rem broke the silence once the three of them had reached the end of the street and came to the shopping plaza, "I gave that Death Note for you to use...so why not use it for yourself?"
"I am using it for myself, Rem, because I believe in what Kira's doing. I want to know Kira, talk with him and get to know him...which is the only reason I sent all those tapes out to the TV station. And, I'd say that sure got his attention, wouldn't you say so?" Misa giggled and Trinity looked up at Rem, who seemed to be both annoyed and concerned.
"This is a dangerous game you're playing."
"It's hardly a game at all," Trinity put out, "if you're messing with some guy that only needs your name and face to kill you...one wrong move, Misa-san..."
"And you could be killed," Rem concluded gravely and a shiver raced up and down Trinity's spine.
"It's alright," Misa sang optimistically and skipped ahead of them, "I'm sure Kira is very kind to those with pure hearts and besides, if it ever did narrow down to that, I'm still stronger than he because I've got the Eyes."
Later that Night...
"This isn't good," Light muttered to himself as he sat back in his desk chair, his fingers folding together and Ryuk chewed on an apple core, "if this imposter slips up even once...then-"
"Light," Mrs. Yagami knocked on her son's bedroom door and Light slipped his Death Note under his mattress, "are you still up? It's almost eleven thirty dear, get some sleep."
"Sorry Mom, I'm going to bed now," Light answered back and heard his mother's footsteps carefully make their way back down the stairs. Light sighed to himself, falling back onto his bed and relaxed his hands behind his head, closing his brown eyes.
"Hey, Light, there's something that I've been wanting to ask you," Ryuk said from the other side of the room and Light pulled himself back up, listening.
"What is it? Out of character for you to be so serious."
The shinigami paused, streching out in midair and Light layed back down, his mind swimming.
"When you first got the Death Note, you didn't use it for a while, then all of the sudden you started writing criminals names down like there's no tomorrow."
Light shifted his gaze from the ceiling to the god of death, a smirk playing with the corners of his mouth.
"What makes you ask that? I just didn't know what to use it for," Light lied, Ryuk scoffing, seeing right through Kira's mask.
"Yeah right."
"Alright then, what do you think it was?"
"What I know it was actually...it was that girl, wasn't it?"
"Girl?" Light sat up, his elbows resting on his knees and hands folding over his mouth, "you think I'm doing this out of passion of something?"
"Yeah...something like that. Whatever you humans call it."
Light blew his bangs back, rolling his eyes and yanked his bed sheets back, curling up underneath them.
"You're dillusional, Ryuk."
"Whatever."
The Following Week...
"Good morning, Amane-san," Light greeted as a sleepy eyed Trinity pulled her text books out of her locker and slipped them into her denim bag.
"Ohayo, Yagami-kun," she yawned and shuffled down the school hallway with him to her first class room.
"Not a morning person, I see?"
"No...I'm the farthest thing from it. I'm more of a stay up all night and sleep during the day type person."
"Insomniac?"
"Sure."
Trinity looped her thumbs through the belt loops of her black jeans and cast her gaze out the window towards the blood red and gold sun rise. Light kept the same pace as her, his brown eyes watching her carefully and her hair swayed, bangs clipped back flat on top of her head and styled in low pigtails, her eyes seeming to be hold a knowing expression despite the blank stare on her freckled face.
I have no choice but to keep a close eye on her...if she is working undercover for L...then...
"Hey Yagami-kun, let me ask you something," Trinity shattered the silence and began to fiddle with a piece of notebook paper, Light watching her intently.
"Sure."
"What is this whole "Kira" deal?"
Got her.
"Kira?"
"Yeah."
"Well...all I know is he punishes criminals and brings justice to the world, or so he claims to," Light explained as mildly as he could but Trinity's eyes told him she knew he knew more.
"Is that so?" she questioned, her voice velvety and smooth to the point where Light almost shuddered.
"I guess."
"You're a supporter of this Kira then."
Light shook his head and stuck his hands in his pockets, rapidly generating another lie.
"No, I'm just merely repeating what everyone else tells me. I personally would like to help in catching him," he lied again and Trinity only stared at him.
Liar...you're Kira...however, if I didn't have the Eyes I would think he's telling the truth...so...he's a creative lier...dunno whether to be impressed or somewhat scared...
Now to find out her opinion...I have to be extra careful about what I say around her...
"What do you think of Kira, then?" Light interrogated and Trinity pulled a package of pocky out of the front pocket of her bag.
"Good question," she raised her eyebrows and nibbled on a chocolate coated treat, "I haven't really thought about it. Want some pocky?"
"No thanks."
"You're missing out...but back to Kira..." she sighed, toying around with her thoughts and she twisted a strand of hair around her finger, Light anxiously awaiting her answer. "Well, based on what I've found out over the past week, all I have to say is both Kira and L are wasting their precious time."
Light stopped walking, his eyes widening more and he felt his breath catch in his chest.
"What?"
"What what? I just think the two of them are wasting their time. Kira will never accomplish creating a perfect world because there's no such thing...there will always be someone disagreeing or having a different vision, and L...well...I'm not sure about him. I just don't see Kira being caught...and if Kira is caught, then I don't see him stopping. In fact, even though I could care less either way, I see Kira winning this time...just hopefully...he won't go insane with the amount of power he has...and if he does go nuts, then hopefully L will get him before the insanity does."
"So you don't think either one will win?"
"Nope."
"Do you think either is right or wrong?"
"No...I mean sure killing people in general is wrong, but I don't see Kira as pure evil since I see where he's coming from, and L...he's neither right nor wrong because he wants to put an end to the killing, and I'm sure he'll do it in a way that doesn't call for bloodshed."
The tone sounded and Trinity strode away towards her class, giving Light a wave good bye.
"I'll see you later, Yagami-kun," she bade and disappeared into class, Light feeling stunned.
Few More Days Later because the author got all the timing wrong...(Light and Misa don't meet till he's in university...I totally screwed that up! .)
"Misa-san, we've been sitting here for hours...what are we here for?" Trinity moaned, hating the fact she had to remain in the same chairfor what was going on three hours.
"I'm trying to find Kira."
"Can I leave, please, and just come back for you?"
"You sure do complain a lot."
"Sorry...I'm just bored."
Really bored.
"It's okay...we'll be leaving soon. But this would be much easier if you or Rem would just tell me who Kira is," Misa sighed, adjusting her glasses and Trinity yanked her hood over her head.
"I can't...even though I'm half shinigami, I still abide by regular shinigami rules."
"And that has to do with this situation, how?"
"I'm not allowed to tell you like any other shinigami, otherwise, I would have told you days ago."
"So you know who he is? That means you've actually talked to him before!" Misa hissed to her, keeping her voice down so others wouldn't hear.
"Yup...anyway, what is it with this guy anyway? What is he to you?" Trinity interrogated, her eyes peering up at the black haired girl over the leather sleeve of her jacket.
"He's everything to me," Misa sighed passionantly and Trinity rested her head back down, her hair being covered with her hood.
"So, what do you plan to do once you find this guy?"
Light, if you don't show up soon, I'm kicking your ass!
"Well, it's not like I can just run up and introduce myself, but..." Misa trailed off and Trinity peered up at her, seeingher friend had become very focused. Trinity glance out the window, seeing a large group of teens pass the cafe, Light being amoung them.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP! NOW WE CAN LEAVE!
"Gotcha," Misa breathed as a young man with neat brown hair passed by, the model's heart swelling once she saw (or didn't see...) he had no life span above his head. "Found him!" she sang and stood abruptly, a triumphant smile spreading across her pretty face.
"Okay Rem, Trinity, time to go."
"What? That's it?" Rem inquired, not understanding how the blond had waited for three hours in the Note Blue cafe just for one man to pass by and then just leave without any signal or sign of awknowledgement of each other.
"Well, like I told Trinity, I can't jsut run up and be "Hi Kira! Nice to meet you!" right now...I need to think of a way to see him without anyone being suspicious," Misa said and Trinity stood.
"Considering I go to school with the guy, I can get some info for you. His name is Light Yagami and he's been hanging around me for the past few days...being a guide for me and all," she explained and Misa folded her hands over her heart.
"That would mean the world to me, Trinity, thank you."
"First thing when I go back to school."
Misa focused her eyes on Trinity and smiled gratefully, Trinity returning it and the trio exited the cafe, Trinity's hood still over her head as she passed a survalience camera.
What have I gotten myself into?
I really screwed up here...I got all the timing wrong! ACK! Well, I'm going to be skipping over some stuff, obviously to get to where everything is supposed to be. Sorry, didn't realize this till I was half done with this chapter. -facepalm- Oh well...hope you liked it anyway! I'm trying to think of more things to happen to get this all moving because I feel like I'm rewritting he series but with Trinity in here...hmm...well I will make this awesome! I promise! :D 3 reviews please!
