Kinda Long, Kinda good, :) Let me know what you think! I'm going to work on chapter 10 now, enjoy!
Mora sits watching the news at her desk. It has been a week since the second Kira has emerged. Mora is thankful that this person has slowed down a bit, but there is no way the detectives Light told her about are no longer uncertain about Kira now.
Yet still nothing has been made public by the police. Some of the news networks have started questioning it, of course this has only been since the second Kira started writing names as well.
"Whoever this person is, they went overboard and drew attention to us." Mora says waiting for the commercials to end. "Not to us. Probably not even to themselves, unless they happen to be in that folder of fanatics." Light is trying to make her feel better so she doesn't give up. "I think it is pretty clear they are a fanatic." Mora turns her attention back to the screen. The news reporter comes back on screen saying, "We will now go to a live reporting from outside the N.P.A."
The screen changes and Aizawa is standing in front of a podium. "There has been some speculation from the media on the return of Kira. I am here to end that speculation." Aizawa pauses briefly to switch pages that he has prepared. "I was a member of the original Kira Task Force, which has been, for about a month now, working tirelessly to find out what has been going on. Considering the recent events, we are not one hundred percent confident that, someone new, has taken on the role of Kira."
A sudden roar comes from the crowd gathered in front of him. He is swarmed with questions from reporters. Aizawa raises a hand, "Please, please. I know you all have a lot of questions but please, let me finish first." The crowd settle down, and Aizawa continues. "We do not know who this person, or persons, may be. But we are working hard to discover their identity and put an end to their mass murdering."
"What we do know is that they are here, inside Japan, and the sudden spike in the killings leads us to believe that there may be more than one."
There is a knock-on Mora's door, distracting her. "Yes, come in." she says. Taro opens the door, "Dad! Did you hear about this?" Mora asks pointing to the television. He watches Aizawa for a few seconds and then turns it off. "Uh, yes, I did." He tells her, "Are you coming to the cookout tomorrow?" Taro asks. "Yes, what time is it again?" Mora asks, she had forgotten all about it. "Noon, hey it will be fun. There is someone I want you to meet. Ok?" He smiles, then turns and leaves the room.
Mora turns the television back on, the weather report is now on. She turns to Light. "Still nothing to worry about?" she asks him.
The next morning Mora gets herself ready. She decides to wear a white sundress and sandals. "I look like quite the innocent, don't I?" she says turning to Light. Light is looking out the window. He doesn't acknowledge her. Mora wanders over to the window and looks out. A young man is approaching the front door. "I wonder who that is." She outload to herself.
"Mora." Her father's voice yells to her. She pops out into the hallway. "We are leaving now. Don't be late." He says, "Ok, see you there." Mora waves bye to her mother and father. When she returns to her room Light's expression catches her eye. "What is it?" she asks. "Nothing." Light grins at her. Mora rolls her eyes at him and sits down at her desk. "Aren't we going now?" Light asks. "Right after I write in my death note." She responds.
"Eli, I want you to meet my daughter Mora." Taro introduces the young man she saw from her window to her. "Nice to meet you." Mora smile politely. Just as Eli goes to speak he is interrupted. "Taro is that you?" "Yes." Taro turns, Mora recognizes the man that has joined them, he retired a few years back and her father got promoted to his rank. She takes this opportunity to address Light, he has been acting strange all morning. She turns away from the group and with her voice barely a whisper says, "Will you stop acting so strange, it is distracting." Light is standing there, staring at something, with a strange smile on his face. He looks terrifying like that, Mora is thankful no one else can see him. "Stop it" she mouths at him over and over.
Eli is standing next to her, she jumps when he touches her shoulder. "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." He apologizes with a small laugh. "Oh no, I just wasn't paying attention." She responds quickly. Mora looks around, her father is gone. "The director just got here, he went to say hello. He asked me to keep you company." Eli answers her unasked question.
Eli attempts to engage her in conversation, but she is only half listening to him. She catches Light out of the corner of her eye motioning something. Turning her head, she stares at him. What the hell is going on with him today. "Hey, you are all right?" Eli waves a hand in front of her. Light turns and looks at Mora, he had no idea she was watching him. Mora jumps when he makes eye contact with her.
"Oh yes, I'm fine." She turns to Eli quickly, "Just thought I saw something." Trying to focus on Eli, she normally can ignore Light, but his behavior has her concerned. "I'm going to go over there." Light points over to a tree. Mora glances at him and then turns her attention back to Eli.
Light glides out of Mora's ear shot. Ryuk follows him. "So, you made it?" Light says and Ryuk laughs. "Looks like it." He responds. "How do we get them to realize who they are?" Light asks Ryuk. "Jeez, Light. No, how are you? Just right to business." Ryuk frowns at him. "I know who he is, he will be very useful to us." Light ignores Ryuk, "I want her to find him. I should just tell her."
"You know you can't do that Light." Ryuk says. "Yes, but why?" Light snarls. "Things are going perfectly as planned." "So, I guess she was the right choice then huh?" Ryuk laughs at him. Light ignores him again.
Ryuk sighs, "The only way is with the Shinigami eyes. Of one of them takes the deal then they could tell." Ryuk adds, "I'm guessing you told her about the deal already?" "Yes, I did, unlike you, I told her the important thing right away." Light says. "Hah, you almost hurt my feelings." Ryuk teases. "Maybe I will tell him today. He is very interested in finding her as well." Ryuk says.
"Maybe you'll tell him? Typical. Even if he does take the deal they would have to come in contact again." Light pauses to think a moment, he turns and looks over at Mora. She is standing facing him. Light notices she is shaking Eli's hand. "Looks like they are done, oh well." Light pulls an apple out of his bag, "I'm sure you've eaten a hundred of these already but here." Light stretches his arm out to pass Ryuk the apple.
Mora looks up at Light just in time to see the apple disappear from his out stretched hand.
Ryuk rejoins Eli. "So, she's kind of cute huh?" Ryuk jokes. Eli turns discreetly towards Ryuk and mumbles, "Yeah, but that is my boss's daughter." Ryuk laughs at him. "Remind me when we get back to your apartment, I have something to tell you." Eli nods at Ryuk and goes to join Taro and Elaine, who are sitting at a picnic table with a few other officers.
About an hour later Mora goes to find her parents, she has eaten, talked to a other people there, but at this point she is bored. "Hey Dad, I am going to head out now." She says to him. "Sure honey," he says, "Be safe!" Elaine adds.
As Mora is walking out the park entrance, she sees Aizawa arriving with a few other people. Remembering what Light told her about the recording, she is hesitant to speak to him again, but he sees her. "Hello Mora, how are you today?" Aizawa asks her nicely. "I am doing great, Sir. How about you? I saw your press conference yesterday." She tells him. "You seem very competent and confident." She smiles.
"We all are. Keeping you safe from Kira is our goal." He says to her. "Idiot." Light shouts.
"Well I am no criminal, they are the only ones that need to be, what was it? Kept safe, from Kira." She responds, even she feels angry, she is in no danger of Kira. Even if she wasn't Kira, if she didn't go committing heinous crimes she would have nothing to fear.
"Well, in a way, that is true." Aizawa pauses. "Well, I'm going to go sit and eat. Are you just arriving as well?" "No, I was just leaving. Enjoy yourself." She says with a smile and walks away.
"Mora would you reconsider the eye deal?" Light asks her once they are alone in her car. "No, I don't think I would, why do you ask?" Mora turns to him. "Just as being able to see the names and lifespans of all humans, you in turn would not be able to see the lifespan of any human who also possesses a death note. Which would make finding the second Kira much easier." Light explains to her. "The only reason I would want to find the second Kira is to smack them and take their death note." She tells him angrily.
"I saw you by the way." Light blinks at her confused. "The apple" is all she replies.
Eli and Ryuk leave about an hour after Mora does. "So now you are an official N.P.A. Member." Ryuk laughs. "Yeah, I had no idea they were going to be doing that." Eli laughs. He unlocks the door to his apartment. Once inside he takes off his shoes, he throws himself on to the couch and sighs. "That was so boring." Ryuk flops on the chair next to him, "No offense, your ceremony was nice. But it was boring."
"I know, but I had to go. Hey, why the interest in Mora? You never ask me about any humans we see." Eli asks Ryuk curiously. "Just thought she seemed nice enough. Attractive for a human." Ryuk shrugs at him. "So, what did you have to tell me about?" Eli asks to change the subject.
"Oh, right. I have a deal that I can make with you, for Shinigami eyes. You can see the name and lifespan of all humans with them. But they cost half of your remaining lifespan." Ryuk explains. "Why would anyone take that deal?" Eli asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, for someone like you, you would be able to identify Kira with them. You cannot see the lifespan of a human that possesses a death note." Ryuk tells him. "What is my remaining lifespan?" Eli asks Ryuk. "I am not allowed to tell you that." Ryuk warns him. "Not even a hint? Long? Short?" Eli asks hopefully. "Sorry, but no." Ryuk says.
"I'm going to need some time to think about that Ryuk." Eli says, he lays back down on the couch and closes his eyes.
