Hope you enjoy the chapter. Please review, follow, fav! :D
Aizawa is at the N.P.A again today. He sits in Taro's office alone. Eli watches Aizawa talking on his cell phone. Once Aizawa hangs up his phone Eli rushes over to the door. Eli knocks lightly and then enters. Aizawa stands up and turns, "Oh, hello, Eli, right?" Aizawa was expecting it to be Taro but is surprised to see it was Eli. "Yes, I just saw you from outside, I know you are waiting for the chief, but I wanted to say hello." Eli smirks.
Aizawa sits back down, "How has it been since you were brought on as an officer, instead of an intern?" Aizawa asks, he motions for Eli to sit in the chair next to him. "It has been a busy week, a lot of paperwork really." Eli says sitting down, "Next week they told me I could start field training, but I am better used in the office." Eli adds. "Why is that?" Aizawa asks curiously. "I am well trained with computers, even when I was interning they allowed me to assist the cyber-crimes department." Eli explains how he is skilled in tracking people online.
"That is very useful." Aizawa responds. "Yeah I try to be. What about you? How is the investigation going? Eli asks cautiously. "Well, I can't disclose too much, but to be honest we have hit a dead end. We don't have enough man power." Aizawa puts his head in his hand and rubs his forehead. Eli can see the exhaustion on his face. "That's why I am here today, we are hoping to get a few volunteers from the N.P.A. to join us." Aizawa looks back up.
Ryuk laughs as Eli responds, "Oh, I was wondering if you would reach out to the N.P.A. for help." Aizawa outs his hand to his mouth and taps on his lips as he thinks. "I shouldn't do this, but, if the director approves, would you consider joining the Kira Task Force? Your skills would definitely come in handy. Right now, we only have one member who specializes in cyber-tracking." Before Eli can answer him the door behind them opens.
They both turn to see Mora standing there. She is holding a large, brown paper bag in her hands. Eli slowly stands up, gawking at her. Aizawa notices this and gives him a look of disapproval. Aizawa is the first to speak, "Hello Mora, I am just waiting for your father to return." "Oh, I just have some lunch for him." She says holding up the paper bag. "He, he should b-be back soon, he is in with the director." Eli stumbles on the words.
"Oh, I wanted to say hi, but I can't wait." Mora walks over and places the bag on her father's desk. Aizawa leans towards Eli and mumbles, "Get yourself together." Into Eli's ear. "Huh?" Eli responds, looking at Aizawa. He mouths "You're staring." At Eli. Eli suddenly becomes embarrassed and quickly sits down.
Ryuk begins to laugh at Eli. Light quickly catches on to what is happening and begins to laugh as well. Mora stands there confused. The door opens again. This time Taro enters his office. He stops at the door, not expecting an office full of people. Mora walks over to him, "Dad, I brought you some lunch." She gives him a quick hug. "Thank you darling." Taro says kissing he on the head. "See you at home." Mora says and opens the door.
"Eli, would you walk Mora out please, I need to speak to Aizawa privately." Taro says. "Yes sir." Eli gets up and follows Mora out of the office, closing the door behind them. They walk in silence through the lobby to the doors. Eli opens the front doors for her, "Thank you Eli." Mora says smiling at him. Eli is in a daze, he watches her walking away from him. And it suddenly dawns on him that she is leaving. He calls out her name and jogs to catch up to her. Mora stops and turns to him.
"Yes?" she asks after he catches up. "Mora, can I take you out for coffee tomorrow?" Eli asks her. Mora was not expecting this from him, she gives him a stumped look. "Listen, Eli, you are a nice guy, and my father seems to really like you," she pauses shortly looking for the right words, "But right now, I'm just really busy right now. Maybe when things calm down, I'd consider..." Eli cuts her off, "Oh no, don't get me wrong I would love to get to know you better, but I don't mean it as a date. There is something I need to show you, and I don't have it right now. I have tomorrow off work, so I thought coffee would be ok." Eli explains
"Oh, ok." Mora says smiling, "Sure, what time?" she asks. "How about I pick you up at eleven in the morning?" Eli asks. "Works for me." She turns away smiling. "Bye Eli." She waves to him. "Bye." He says too quietly for her to hear. He feels dazed again.
Is this real? Am I really seeing this? She, She… She has no lifespan. She is Kira.
