Chapter two: God's Plan to Further His Reign

Nothing was said after Mikami Teru had spoken. Ryuk was even a good little shinigami and kept quiet. The only sounds were the other people in the shop and the (seemingly) loud ticking of his watch.

"Is it really safe for us to be talking like this in public?" Mikami asked quietly, having been choosing his words very carefully over the last five, silent minutes. The other man- 'Kira…' he thought, almost giddily- laughed slightly and stood up.

"I suppose not," he began; turning as through he was going to walk out. "Follow me, Mikami-san," 'Raito' said, beginning to walk toward the door. He stared for a few moments, then got up and followed the man he believed to be a God.

"Annou, K-" the man laughed again, making Teru stop slightly.

"My apologies, Mikami-san. My name is Yagami Raito," Raito said, half-staring ahead. "And… did you actually want some coffee?"

"Er- no. Yagami-san… I was just-" Mikami cut himself off, trying to collect his usually together thoughts. The brunette stared, confused, at him, waiting quietly. "Why do I get to know?" he finally questioned. Raito blinked, then chuckled.

"Why shouldn't you, Mikami-san?" this inquiry made him almost trip. However, the brunette continued, "I trust you enough to let you know. I mean-" he interrupted himself with another chuckle. "-what kid of leader would I be if my number one follower didn't know who I was?" Mikami flinched slightly.

'Follower?' he asked dejectedly in thought. "I see…" he added aloud, nodding slowly. They were still walking, Mikami noticed, and he had no idea where they were going.

"Don't worry, Mikami-san. I know exactly where we're going," Raito said calmly, still staring ahead.

'Can he read my mind?' Mikami questioned silently, almost expecting a response from the brunette. Disrupting his thoughts was someone he forgot was even present.

"Ne, Raito! You promised me an apple" Ryuk whined, hovering behind Raito.

"Later, Ryuk. When we're not out in public." Mikami stifled a laugh- that action thankfully was unnoticed. So Raito was secretive with the Shinigami. Hell, it took a lot more than a 

floating apple or someone talking to themselves to get the attention of more than half of the public.

"But Raito!" the Shinigami moaned, his body twisting. Mikami stared a Ryuk, having never seen him do that. He stared on in morbid fascination as his body twisted further.

"Not now, Ryuk!" Raito hissed. "Mikami-san, don't stare, you'll only encourage him." Mikami nodded and tore his eyes from the twisted creature.

"So- erm- Yagami-san, where exactly are we going?" Mikami asked, trying to keep his eyes forward.

"A hotel," this took him off guard slightly. "I plan to loose the man that's following me." Mikami glanced over his shoulder and, sure enough, a man appeared to be following them from a few meters back. "Don't worry too much, Mikami-san, I have a plan."

'Of course you do!' Mikami thought, nodding. 'You're Kira! You can do anything!'

"In here, Mikami-san," Raito whispered, tugging him in to a hotel.

"He's still following, Raito," the Shinigami cackled as they strode cross the lobby.

"I know, Raito said, a smug smile curling his lips upward. They reached the elevator and got in. Just as the doors were closing, a hand came through the crack.

"Pardon me," a rough voice said. The doors opened again and the man that was following them got on. Raito faked a shocked look.

"Aizawa-san, hello," the brunette said, keeping up his pretend-shock.

"Hello, Raito-kun…" the older man, Aizawa, greeted, cocking an eyebrow.

"Mikami-san, this is Aizawa Shuichi-san. Aizawa-san, this is Mikami Teru-san," Raito said cheerfully. Teru bowed, but Aizawa only nodded his head.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," they muttered simultaneously. Teru glanced toward his 'God' and saw that a rather sinister look had captured his features.

"Annou, Yagami-san, who exactly was that?" he asked, accepting the tea that the brunette handed him. Raito at down and stayed silent for a moment, closing his eyes.

"That was one of the men I work with," he started, a rather apathetic look on his features. Teru blinked. "I have a plan, Mikami-san, that I would like you to help me with."

Meanwhile, Aizawa Shuichi walked into a hotel room after one of his co-workers opened it for him. He nodded slightly to the almost-carefree Matsuda Touta and strolled into one of the rooms, where Mogi Kanzo and Ide Hideki were watching several computer screens.

"Mogi, idea. Has he entered yet?" Aizawa asked. Mogi turned around, a grim look on his face.

"No," he grumbled. Aizawa's eyes widened.

"What!? That's impossible! I saw him enter a room!" Aizawa shouted. Calmly, Ide turned around to face Aizawa.

"Then we've been tricked."

A/N: Ooooh!! I've left you guys off with a cliffy!

I was dreading this chapter, because I want to skip all this boring-ness. But, Death Note is nothing with out boring-ness, ne? XD Anyway, I didn't really like this chapter… until I brought in JUSTICE-MAN! (Probably only Sempai will get this) Er- I mean, Aizawa. And then it kinda started to get interesting. XD I'm not very proud of my Raito. It's rather short… but I like it this way. Ha-ha, well anyway…

Read and review! And maybe give me tips? n.n
