DN: Love Me Not
Being stood up wasn't so bad. At least they weren't alone. It didn't seem to take long before Mimiko had forgotten that she was supposed to be meeting someone else at that coffee shop.
"Thanks for coming here with me."
"Pleasures mine, Mimi-chan. I enjoy the company."
And also, at this time Raito would glance down at his watch. It was nearly time for dinner. How long was this going to last. Of course, this could be a good time to set things into motion. He hadn't been spotted yet. Reaching into his school bag as he revealed a simple notebook.
"Eh, whats that ya got there Raito?"
The shinigami asked, peering over the human's shoulder intently.
"My latest hit list. All these people have been either set out on bail, released from conviction, or simply haven't been caught yet. And as fate has it, all reside in this general area. If I where to have them randomly come by and somehow get in contact with Mimiko and drop dead... well, L will pick up on it and his suspicion of her will greatly increase. Thus getting him off my tail. Hopefully for good."
"Sounds like a plan to me. So let's get this thing started, I wanna see how it turns out."
It would have to be only a small few victims tonight. The folded Death Note paper hidden in his wallet could only fit maybe two or three victims and death descriptions. But that was enough to begin his experiment.
"Oh hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom and probably head home. My mom is already going to flip because I didn't go straight home after school."
Mimiko would excuse herself. Just as she stepped away from the table, there was the slight sound of a bell towards the front of the shop. The bell signaled as an odd looking older man entered, looking almost out of place as if he couldn't really understand why he was there.
"This is going so well..."
Raito glanced over his shoulder, he simply couldn't miss his plan unfolding right before his eyes. Mimiko was about to head into the bathroom as the man walked past her trying to get to the men's room. Placing a hand on her shoulder, as to not bump into the girl.
"Sorry excuse me."
He entered into the bathroom. And Mimiko to the girl's room. It was only mere seconds later, loud screams where heard. Now catching the attention of everyone in the building. The manager rushed in, more screaming. Mimiko happened to wander out fromt he girl's room. Looking around as a waitress was crying into her cell phone, calling for an ambulance.
"What the heck is going on?"
Being completely clueless as she stepped back up to the table. Apparently, things there already paid for. And a tip was left. Her body guard stood, lazily straigthening out his shirt a bit as his hands fell into his pockets.
"Didn't you say you needed to be heading home, Mimi-chan?"
"Yea, but uh... did I just miss something? Did somebody like die or something...I heard screaming."
The coffee shop was a bit of a walk from the Hitori house. And being the appointed body guard for the evening, he suggested to walk her home. Also, to explain to the 'flipped out mother' why her daughter was so late in returning home from school.
"That is so weird. I saw that guy just before he want to the bathroom... creepy."
"Indeed. Very creepy."
About a good block and a half behind. Raito trailed the two. With the shinigami closely behind as he watched the human scribble down something else. It would only be minutes before the scene would unfold.
"You really don't have to walk me all the way home, my house is right up there."
"It'll help me sleep at night, Mimi-chan."
"Y'know... I noticed something."
"Do tell, Mimi-chan."
"You're a lot more talkative then you are in school. Why is that?"
Casually walking past the bus stop. Where a bus had just let off a few of its passengers. One in particular, turned around and began to follow behind the two. This would not go un noticed by the detective. Considering the man had just got of the bus, and was in fact walking backward from where the bus had came.
"I suppose you're an easy person to talk to Mimi-chan."
"Oh? Well that's good. Cause I kinda like you, you're uh... 'neat' "
". . ."
"Oh yea! And thanks for the cake too, I forgot about that."
"Not a problem. Sweets always seems to cheer me up whenever I'm upset over something. And you seemed upset."
"You're nice. It's rare to find someone so genuine."
"I do my best."
It was strange. But the man from the bus would be a little too close. And it sounded as if his footsteps had quickened, just to catch up to their pace. And from what sounded to be like a slightly faster step, turned into a jog? What exactly the man was after was certainly unknown, but managed to break through between the two. Pushing past Mimiko as she stumbled back a couple steps.
"Ugh. Rude much?!"
She spat. Now giving the man the evil girlish glare. The detective would also make mental note of this, looking at her oddly and then to the man who didn't seem to mind the girl's remark. Until just a few steps towards the corner, turning around with a twisted look on his pudgy face. Letting out a horrible scream as he gripped his chest and collapsed onto the ground.
"Oh. my. -"
"Kira?"
Not exactly finishing her sentence per say. She looked over at him as they exchanged an equally confused glance. This couldn't just be coincidence.
"Are you ok Mimi-chan?"
Seeing as she stood there now hugging tightly at herself. Clearly unawar of what had just happened. And, being the concerned little body guard that he was, would walk over to her. Watching as she jumped back, obviously trying to avoid any physical contact.
"Don't!"
"Mimi-chan?"
"I... um... I don't know what's going on."
Visably trembling from the utter shock as her eyes went from the motionless man on the street corner and back to her fellow school mate, who looked to be just as confused as she was.
"The guy... at the coffee shop. He touched me. And then, this guy. And... and... I don't understand..."
"You should calm down Mimi-chan."
"It's not weird to you?!"
"What's weird?"
"I came in contact with both of those men and they suddenly died!"
". . ."
Well, there was barely any room left on Raito's spare sheet of Death Note paper. But this was good enough. He couldn't imagine having too much fun in one day. It was amazing that she caught on so quickly to, but then again, it was an odd coinscidence.
"She's completely paranoid! Hyuk!"
"I can't believe how easy this was. And once L gets on her track thinking that she is Kira, or at least affiliated with Kira... I'll simply kill her off before he gets the chance to solve it."
"You'll break the poor kid's heart Raito. I think he likes her."
"I'll break more then that when I'm done."
