Sixth Chapter

[Amane Misa's pov]

The young girl was quickly silenced as she saw the person before her. Pale girl with long silvery white hair. Her silvery white bangs covered some of her face but one wouldn't miss those crimson eyes. Her eyes were so much different from your own but they definitely were shinigami's eyes. Only one glance could tell one that she wasn't human and the moon itself seemed to illuminate her pale figure.

Deep in her eyes one could see so many emotions mixed, that no one could identify all but what had made you quiet down, was the air around her. Like time had stopped where she stood and you couldn't bring yourself to say anything. Even though you had many questions but what interested her wasn't you.

''So the rumors were true...'' Mostly skeletal looking female shinigami said next to you.

''Why are Death gods, like yourself down here and letting humans play around with your Death Notes?'' The girl in front of you asked. Her graceful voice filled with hatred toward the being before her, even though she wasn't that much different herself.

''The Death Note Misa is using is not my Death Note, I am merely watching over her and don't relate me to Ryuk.'' The skeletal shinigami with name Rem answered.

''Who is Ryuk ?'' You asked not understanding.

''The shinigami who is following Kira.'' Rem simply answered to the curious girl and the unknown girl stood there watching them and realized, that Rem cared for this human girl.

''What is your name child ?'' Rem asked from the silvery white haired girl who just stood there watching the two. Even though Rem knew, that she didn't really have one.

''Some call me Gina but I'm sure, that you know the real answer.'' The girl called Gina stated out with bored tone as if she had been asked this question million times before and the next second she was gone. Only leaving some black feathers on floor, which you picked up.

''She really is fearful being.'' Rem quietly said looking at the open window with full moon on the background...

[Back at the hotel]

''Director Yagami !'' Both Matsuda and Aizawa yelled as they saw their director all right.

''Everyone... I am sorry for acting so brashly, It seems that I got a bit too emotional.'' Yagami apologized and held up paper bag with tapes, that he recovered from Sakura TV station. L took the paper bag and began inspecting the tapes along with the envelope where they were send in, which this ''Kira'' had sent. Yagami took his rest on the nearest sofa as he had just earlier been in hospital and Matsuda was on phone telling vice director Kitamura, that Yagami got out of Sakura TV station safely.

''Aizawa can you analyze this ?'' L asked handing the envelope to Aizawa.

''Yes. Forensics is my specialty, after all.'' Aizawa told as he took the envelope along with the possibly options he could get from doing it.

''I'm counting on you. I'll be looking at the copy tapes first.'' L said with his eyes fixated on the TV screen.

[Gina's pov]

You got back later than you expected but for your luck no one seemed to notice as L had his eyes on the TV screen. You peeked little to the room where he was to see that he was rewatching the fake Kira's show, which was shown earlier on the Sakura TV but there seemed to be more than one tape near TV screen. Was he planning on watching them all night, you wondered looking at the odd detective. You never really understood the way he thinks even now as you had gotten used to his strange behavior and sweets eating habits. As you were about go to your room L stopped you with a question, ''What do you think about this Kira ?''.

For while you wondered why he asked just that question out of all questions he could have asked but now thinking about it was very much like him as he has always been very antisocial and a detective.

''Only that this person speaking in those tapes is not the Kira we are looking for.'' You simply answered to the detective but were stopped by another question.

''Do you know something I do not ?'' L asked now looking at you with his dark eyes. You had to admit, he was very sharp but of course you wouldn't tell him everything about death notes and death gods as the whole thing sounded ridiculous for normal human. After all no matter how good or intelligent Kira and L were, they're both mere humans. L was getting suspicious of your silence, so you had to answer something.

''How could I know more than you already do ?'' You put up stupid act, which L probably saw through but didn't stop you leaving this time and started watching the tapes again.

At the end of corridor you opened door to your room and fell on the bed as you were really tired for some reason, quickly falling asleep.

[L's pov]

Who are you really ? L thought while watching the tapes with the fake Kira speaking of ideal world in them but soon got bored and started eating piece of strawberry shortcake.

Even Watari seemed to know something about her that you didn't and all of her seemed to be just an act but for what ?

Conversation back in the mansion returned to your mind.

''You don't need to say anything, Watari. Instead I have one question for you…'', ''Is he alive and well ?''Gina had asked with uneasiness and worry shown in her face along with her voice.

''I see, you have regained your memories…'' Watari whispered quietly but loud enough for you to hear and Gina just nodded.

''Yes, he is alive but he is no longer the Nate River you used to know. ''Watari had said and you could see Gina's face shocked but she quickly shook it away.

''Sadly he wasn't able to forgive or forget. Since he was very clever for a kid, I offered him position as L's successor... but it seems like he locked all his feelings away.'' Watari continued telling and Gina seemed sad for some reason but then she grinned widely putting up her usual fake smile and started walking toward the car. You and light followed her but Watari stood there for a while before coming to the car himself too.

Near was one of the most promising kids in Wammy's house. You had given him some hard cases to solve and he managed them all, so you were little impressed of his abilities but what did he have to do with Gina's past ? You wondered.

This was probably the first time you were interested in someone without any relation to case you were investigating.

Perhaps you had taken Watari's words literally and saw her as your family now.

You slowly got up and took plate with strawberry shortcake piece on your hand and knocked the door of room, which belonged to Gina now but there wasn't answer, so you left the cake piece on the table next to door.

I thought something would change

But everything was exactly the same

No matter how hard I try to forget you
