Chapter 2: A Name And A Secret
A/N: Chapter 2 is done! I'm going to try to keep this as near to what happened in the actual series as possible with the new addition. So it won't be the same, but things that happened in the manga will appear in this story. I will alter Light's death however. Can't let a certain shinigami have all the fun.
It came in the mail the following week. The book on the girl, just as that doctor had promised. Of course there was no return address. Ryuzaki had been trying to think of a name that would suit the girl. As if on cue, she walked into the room and sat down beside him. She now had free run of the building. In the past week, her hair had turned almost black and her skin had a healthy color to it. And her eyes were still that piercing green. The only thing that bothered him, even if slightly, was that she had never removed her coat. Even when it was hot, which sometimes he saw to.
He smiled at her and opened the book. When he did, a note fell out.
According to recent studies, her lifespan is much longer than we first thought. Results show at least 300 years.
No signature, no nothing. Ryuzaki sighed. The other major development was the handcuffs; Ryuzaki had removed them. Light hadn't left the apartment very often, and when he did, not for very long. There had been many more deaths by the hands of Kira and they had narrowed it down to someone with power. Maybe someone in a high position in a business.
"I've been meaning to ask," Ryuzaki said suddenly. "How old are you?"
She thought about it. "14, I think." She looked at the way he sat and smiled. She tucked her feet under herself in imitation.
Ryuzaki chose to ignore it, in case she was making fun of him.
"Have you picked a name for me yet?" she asked. "If you give me one, I'll tell you something I know you don't know."
Ryuzaki looked at her. She was grinning.
"Alright. I liked Fushigi."
"Fushigi? I like it," she said cuddling up against him.
Ryuzaki froze. No one had ever done that before. She seemed more like a defenseless child than a super genius. He put his arm around her.
"What were you going to tell me?" he asked.
"You really want to know? Okay, I'll tell. 15 years ago, a secret organization asked an orphanage for very gifted children for blood samples. Very small, just a drop. There was one boy who stood out from the rest." She paused. "His blood was taken and 'redesigned.' I'm not sure other blood samples they used, but for a year, they worked on that sample, until they had it perfectly in order. Then, they developed it. Like you would a clone. Only it was a stand-alone. It took about three weeks before they had an embryo. Then, nine months later, they had me. They said I was perfect."
She got really quiet.
Ryuzaki wondered whose blood they had used.
"What was the orphanage called? Do you know?" Ryuzaki asked.
She looked up at him. "The orphanage was called Wammy's House. And the boy was… Lawliet."
A/N: Yeah, I know it was short. But it was good, right? I need more ideas… Sorry if you wanted to wait for L's name. Near's name will be revealed as well. Mello's name was in book 8 or 9.
