Angel Of Death
Chapter 8: Break On Through (To The Other Side)
L had locked Reaper in the master bedroom again. He had to lock her in there, because she nearly ripped his face off when he had tried to explain to her about her situation. Reaper refused to listen to anyone. Only thing she wanted to do was cause every each and one of them large amounts of pain for them. And boy, was she angry. She was throwing lamps, phones, mirrors, anything that wasn't nailed down. Reaper didn't do well being locked up; in fact she never has.
The men could hear her screaming at them in English.
They didn't know what to do with her.
She was worse than some of the men they had arrested in the past.
They had been discussing about a tape that just been brought to them.
It was a tape by Kira; he was demanding the release of Elizabeth Short.
The men were shocked that they got a tape from him so quickly after they had taken Elizabeth Short into custody.
What they didn't know was that Ryoko and Light had made that tape in efforts to get them scared and a message for Reaper.
In the tape, Kira had caused painful morbid deaths to a few civilians.
The men were horrified at this.
None of the would of ever would have guess he would go so far.
They could not figure out how Kira found out they had Elizabeth.
In addition, they did not realize he would go that far in attempts to make them let Elizabeth go. Some of them wanted to release Reaper, but L wanted to keep her here. He needed her to close this case. L stood up and walked over to the door.
"I don't think that would be a good idea," Mogi said as he watched the great detective reaching for the handle.
L looked over at the men. He was not too worried; it will just be a matter of time before Reaper can calm down.
At least he hoped so...
As L opened the door he was quickly met with a glassed vase inches away from his face. He saw that Reaper was about to slam it against the door before he had to go on and open it.
The two stared at each other for a small moment before Reaper brought the vase down.
"Are you going to let me out?" she asked rudely in English.
L scratched the back of his head as he sighed.
There was no way in hell he was going to let her out when she is still angry.
Reaper sighed loudly as she tossed the vase to the side; she already knew his answer.
"I'm quite sorry Elizabeth," L said.
Reaper sighed as she walked over to the bed.
"You still never told me why I'm here," she asked as she crossed her arms.
L sighed as he sat walked over and sat in a chair. Reaper stared at him as she leaned back on her hands.
She was really relieved that he only found her as a mortal not a Nobody.
It would get her nothing but trouble if they did.
The thought of herself getting recycled by Videl made her shiver in fear.
But still, she wanted to get back to Light even if she really didn't want to see him.
He made her blood boil sometimes, even she had to admit Light was never boring. In fact, he was her ticket to become a mortal.
"I know you're not Kira, if that's what you're worried about," L said believing he was trying to calm her nerves, Reaper looked at him and let out a fake sigh of relief.
Reaper mentally rolled her eyes, all she wanted to do was to out of this damn hotel.
"But, I fear that Kira is after you," he said making Reaper fake a look of shock on her face.
Reaper got pretty good at acting over the years, guess it pays to be the Grim Reaper.
She got really good at lying and faking since she got into the soul collecting gig. It was almost like second nature to her now a days. L noticed that she was still uneasy. He wanted to calm her down.
"I don't want you to be worried Elizabeth," he said to her trying to ease her nerves.
Reaper sighed as she stood up and started to cradle her elbows with her hands. Reaper could tell that he was concerned for her, and she thought to herself how she could use that to her advantage. She stared at L, she was hoping she could lie her way out of the hotel. Reaper always thought she's a great liar. She felt she could con her way out of anything.
"Can I get out of here please?" she asked acting as if she was afraid.
L stood up believing that she was actually afraid. Reaper smirked in her head; he was buying her act.
"I'm sorry, but you can't leave," he said as he started to walk over to her.
Reaper was always good her getting her way. All she had to was to look scared and weak. It works every time for her.
"I don't understand..." Reaper spoke softly.
"Kira is infatuated with you. He believes that you were destined to be with him. In a way he feels that he has an romantic relationship with you," he said.
Reaper's baby blue eyes widened; this time it was genuine.
She knew who Kira was and she totally forgot about Light until now.
She could feel herself get angry, but she had to show that she was completely clueless about the whole thing.
"How do you now that?" Reaper asked as she walked closer to L.
The famed detective couldn't help but notice her big puppy dog blue eyes.
"We got a tape from Kira a couple of hours ago," he answered truthfully, Reaper was shocked.
She knew who sent that tape, Light was coming for her. Reaper was shocked; she couldn't believe that Light put himself out there to rescue her.
"I can't believe it..." Reaper mumbled.
"I know this is a shock, but don't worry we're going to protect you," he said as he put his hands on her shoulders.
Reaper figured out Light s plan. Somehow, he had got a hold of Horror.
That's the only way he could pull off her rescue.
How else could he pull that tape off?
Reaper smirked in her head; she couldn't wait to get free. Now it's time for the water works. Reaper looked at L; she made herself look like she was going to cry.
"Elizabeth, you don't have to worry," he said trying to cheer her up.
Reaper smirked in her head, he was falling for it. Her crocodile tears never failed her.
"What am I going to do?" Reaper said as she forced some tears out.
"Don't worry Elizabeth, you're safe with us," L said; he wanted her to feel safe.
"How do you know that?" Reaper started to fake cry as she leaned her head on L's chest.
L didn't know what to do. He was quite stunned that she leaned up against him. He could even smell her perfume. It smelled sweet and flowery, almost like orchids. He could feel himself starting to blush from her contact.
"There, there..." that's all L could say as he patted the back of her head.
"Alright, I brought the tape to your father's precinct..." Horror said to Light in his Russian accent.
"Perfect," Light smirked as he looked over at Ryoko.
Ryoko looked over at Light with a seductive smile. She grew a liking for Light. She found his confidence very appealing. In fact, she always found power and confidence very sexy.
That is why she is so attracted to Dark.
However, Dark did not have the coldness that Light had. Even Light was enjoying all the attention that Ryoko was given him.
"You know what to do Ryoko," Light said with a sly smirk.
Horror snorted as he glared daggers at Light, he could not stand him. He was a male version of Ryoko. He could feel both of their egos in the room. It was overly over whelming for Horror. At least Reaper's ego did not make him nauseous. Ryoko giggled sexually as she winked at him as a black cell phone appeared in her hand with a cloud of black smoke. Light smirked; Reaper and the other's powers amazed him. It would never cease to amaze him. Light handed her a number on a small notepad. Ryoko took the pad and started to dial a number. She put the phone to her ear and listened to a couple of rings until she heard a voice of a desk clerk.
"Hello, I'm Sayuri Short... I like to file a missing person's report," Ryoko said in a sweet and humble voice.
Ryoko listened to the officer on the other line.
"I see... I'll be there soon as possible," she said as she looked over at Light.
"They want you to go down there?" Light asked, he already knew the answer.
Ryoko smiled giving him her answer. Ryoko stood up and snapped her fingers and she was soon engulfed in a cloud of black smoke. When the black smoke had cleared Light saw that her skin had changed to a pale peach, her eyes changed from a blood red to a dark brown, and her hair to a dark chocolate brown. And Light saw that her outfit had changed; from her lovely dark kimono to a white pair of khaki dress pants, black stiletto heels, a black button up blouse with the neck hanging loosely against her shoulder blades and the sleeves hanging loosely around her elbows, a big chunky black ring on one hand and an engagement and wedding ring on the other, and a black chunky stoned necklace. Her hair was straightened with layers; Light admired her look. She looked regal and that attracted him. Light always found maturity sexy in a woman.
"Nice," he said with a smirk with his arms crossed.
Ryoko looked at him with a sexy smile.
"You think so?" she spoke with a sexy tone in her voice as she popped her hip to the side with her hand on it.
Horror rolled his three red eyes.
This made him sick to his stomach.
A mortal and a Nobody.
It didn't help much that he didn't like Light.
"If you two are done flirting we can go save Reaper," Horror snorted out as he glared at the two.
Ryoko looked over at the three eyed Nobody with a seductive smirk as she swayed herself over to him.
"Don't worry Step Mommy is to the rescue," Ryoko cooed into his ear as she rubbed the back of his bald head.
She could feel Horror tensing up; she found it humorous that he was not attracted to her. Ryoko thought too highly of herself.
That is one of her flaws; she was too vain.
Ryoko believed that she was God's gift to men. Ryoko made his skin crawl; she reminded him of a jealous has been movie star. Horror slapped her hand away; he really did not care much about Ryoko. He found her too cocky and egotistical. Ryoko rolled her dark brown eyes as she glared at him.
"Don't worry we'll get Dark's precious Reaper back," she hissed as she turned her back to him.
Ryoko was jealous of Reaper; Dark favored Reaper more than any other of their kind.
"Good, Ryuk left to inform Reaper about the plan," he said calmly as he crossed his arms as he glared at the back of Ryoko's head.
Back at the hotel, Reaper was surfing through the TV looking for a good music station.
She was growing quite bored being cooped up in this room. She didn't like being in here. Out of no where she heard Ryuk chuckling. She turned to her side and saw Ryuk floating in the air with his large black wings. She smirked when she saw him, she was glad to see a fellow supernatural being.
"Having fun Reaper?" he asked her with a big toothy grin, Reaper glanced over at him and gave him a dirty look.
She looked up at the ceiling and saw that the camera was still pointing at her. She remembered over hearing the men about the camera in her room. Reaper smirked at the bathroom as she let out a fake yawn. She sat off the bed and started to walk to the bathroom with Ryuk following behind her.
Reaper waited as Ryuk came into the bathroom and shut and locked the door behind him with her Nobody powers as she snapped her fingers.
"So...? Are you busting me out?" she asked as she crossed her arms over her busty chest.
Ryuk nodded his head to her question. Reaper let out a big sigh of relief as she let her arms drop to her side.
"Finally!" she said as she smiled at Ryuk.
She couldn't wait to get out of here.
"Ryoko and Light are going to file a missing person's report. With Ryoko posing as your step mother and Light as your boyfriend. The police will notify Light's father-" Ryuk was cut of by Reaper chuckling.
She didn't like the idea having Light being her fake boyfriend, but if it gets her out of this mess, so be it.
"And L has no choice but to release me," Reaper finished for him with a smirk as her eyes changed to blood red.
Ryuk chuckled, he knew Reaper was very smart.
"I'll see you back at Light's," Ryuk said as he nodded his head.
Reaper waved to her friend she was thrilled; she could finally get out of this damn hotel and get back to collecting more souls. She was finally going to be free from this nightmare. Reaper was not going to be recycled by Videl after all. All she had to do was to play the waiting game.
A couple of hours later L walked in Reaper's room and saw her sleeping under the covers. L sighed softly; the missing person report had came in about twenty minutes ago. Everything checked out with Sayuri Short.
L wanted to keep Reaper longer, but he did not have the means to keep her until the Kira case is closed.
Elizabeth was still a teenager after all and she had worried parents. So he thinks he shouldn't release her, but if he did not the price was too high.
He wanted this investigation to be on the hush, hush (Fo: I finally got to use the 'hush, hush' in one of my fics ^^).
He walked over to her and started to shake her shoulder lightly.
"Elizabeth..." he called out her name softly.
Reaper turned her head to look at him. She rubbed her baby blue eyes as she let out a fake yawn.
"What is it?" she spoke as she lifted her arms above her head.
"Your step mother came by the station," L informed her.
Reaper faked a surprise look as she sat up.
"Does this mean I can go home?" she asked with puppy dog eyes.
L forced himself to smile. Reaper smiled for real this time; she was finally getting out of here.
"She's waiting at the police station for you," he said as he put his hands in his pocket.
Reaper squealed in delight as she hopped out of the bed.
"Can I leave now?" she asked in a chipper tone him as she jumped up and gave him a hug.
L sighed slightly as he frowned. He really didn't want to let her go.
She was the piece he needs to catch Kira.
However, he has to release her to her step mother. L pulled her from him and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Elizabeth, I don't want you to be worried. We are very close on finding who Kira really is, before we do we will keep you safe," L said to her, Reaper smiled at him.
Her smile was genuine; she had to admit she found L rather cute in his own way. She knew Light would ask her if she had met L; she honestly did want to help Light kill him off. Reaper sighed as she placed her hands on her hips.
"I should be going then," Reaper said as she started to walk to the door.
L watched her leave the room with a sadden frown. He was going to make sure to keep a close eye on her even without her knowing.
L had to figure out how Kira found out he had her.
When he does figure it out, that means he's one step closer on catching him.
Reaper made it to the police station and there she saw Light and Ryoko. Reaper smirked as she walked over to the two. Ryoko sensed Reaper's presence and snapped her fingers as she stopped time.
This time Light was frozen.
Reaper knew it had to be important if Ryoko had frozen Light.
"What's wrong?" Reaper spoke as she stared at Ryoko.
Ryoko sighed as she walked over to Reaper.
"Dark decided to cut down your quota to three souls a week, to avoid you getting captured again," Ryoko had informed her.
Reaper's eyes widened at what Ryoko had just said. She was good at what she did. Reaper went from being shocked to being furious.
"It won't happen again!" Reaper exclaimed.
Ryoko shook her head as she closed her eyes.
"Let me talk to him!" Reaper said as she grabbed Ryoko's arms.
Ryoko sighed again; she knew how much soul collecting meant to Reaper. Nevertheless, Ryoko could not go against Dark's will. Dark was the law of their kind.
Going against the king of the Nobodies would mean either imprisonment, suspension of their duties, or even sudden death.
"I'm truly sorry Reaper... You know you can't go against Dark's wishes," Ryoko said as she put her head down.
Reaper growled loudly as she stomped her foot into the ground making herself transform unto her Nobody form.
She was infuriated with Dark's decision. Soul collecting was her calling. Ryoko could see that she was very upset.
"That's not fair!" Reaper screeched as her large black wings expanded out wards.
"You know you can't defy Dark, Reaper! Do you want the Enforcers on your tail?" Ryoko scowled her as she put her hands on her hips.
Reaper growled in her throat as she slowly transformed back to her human form.
Ryoko was right, last thing she wanted were the Enforcers tailing after her.
She had them after her before when she first started out as a Nobody.
Dark had suspended her for a couple of months after he assigned the Nobody Atticus to train her.
"For how long?" Reaper asked with sadden eyes; Ryoko could sense the hurt lingering in her voice.
She took pity on Reaper; she loved collecting souls.
That was what Reaper was trained to do; it was like taking a huge part of herself away from her.
"When you become human or when Light dies," Ryoko said as her eyes turned to a blood red.
Reaper let out a small gasp of shock; Dark was helping her to become mortal.
