FireCacodemon: Welcome back to The Death Spark.
L: FireCacodemon doesn't own Death Note or Darker Than Black.
Light: Well, best let them get on with the chapter.
FireCacodemon: Right.
Chapter 3
Misa skipped over to the door and opened the door, Light was standing there in a black tuxedo, a white shirt with a small bowtie, and posh polished black shoes were on his feet. The only issue was that Ryuzaki was with them, his black messy hair remained untamed with his oversized white jumper and blue jeans, and he was hunched over as normal while his black eyes were fixed on Misa. She could still see the handcuff preventing the two from being separate.
"Wow, you clean up good Light-kun," Misa commented on how Light was dressed, he smiled before he let a small chuckle.
"Your beauty twinkles like the stars in the night sky," Light complimented Misa as they exchanged hugs, Ryuzaki just watched.
"Hey Ryuzaki," Misa greeted him, not wanting to be rude to him. It wasn't her fault that he remained here because he didn't believe that Light was innocent.
"Misa," Ryuzaki replied. "So, how was this 'Li' man you met? Your Light-kun was worried about you." Misa would have been taken back but she did look at Light to see if he was telling the truth. Light just simply nodded before he sighed.
"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have told Ryuzaki but it was distracting me from work," Light apologised before Misa burst out into a giggle fit, both males looked confused.
"Light, he doesn't mean anything, he tripped over his own feet and I decided to help him. He said he was new and I found him a place to crash. Don't worry, I don't think he'll be too much to worry about," Misa said as she continued to laugh. Misa was flattered that Light was worried about her and that it was driving him away from his 'mission' but Li really meant no harm. She wouldn't leave Light if it was the only way to save the planet. She would miss him way too much and she wouldn't forgive herself if she left Light, he was perfect for her.
Ryuzaki just watched the two, his mind was buzzing from the camera shot from this morning, how he wanted to dig deeper into what happened, sure Kira was more important but then again that masked man was something physical while Kira wasn't as physical. Ryuzaki knew that Kira would need a name and a face, Kira II would just need the image of a person while the masked man needed to have physical contact to his understanding. Ryuzaki had blocked out the conversation which Misa and Light were having, his hearing was tuned to anything related to Kira or the new masked man. He didn't really care too much about Light's new rival before something clicked. A masked man appears out of nowhere while Misa happens to run into Li? Could there be a connection.
"Misa, do you remember seeing Li around before?" Ryuzaki asked her, breaking her away from her conversation with Light.
"No?"
"Interesting..." Ryuzaki murmured to himself.
"Well, we better head out for the meal. Come on Misa," Light smiled and held out his hand for her to take. Misa giggled and took Light's hand and they went to leave to head out for their date. They could only hope that Ryuzaki remained quiet and focused on something else other than them.
The Death Spark – Chapter 3
"Chief, we've just got a report from the Astronomical Observatory that star BK-201 has faded," a tall male with short black hair, brown eyes came running up to a young woman sitting at her desk, her sharp brown eyes looked up at the male in the business suit.
"What?" She asked him, her pony tail lay perfectly behind her while her light blue shirt and blue blazer.
"Star BK-201 faded, it didn't fall," the male spoke to her again.
"Saito, you're telling me that the BK-201 just simply vanished?" Misaki Kirihara asked her right hand man.
"Isn't that good?" A younger female asked across from Misaki. Misaki's attention snapped back to her.
"I would be happier knowing that star BK-201 fell, then the Black Reaper wouldn't be a threat to anyone," Misaki told her.
"But still...surly it means that BK-201's lost his power...like Havoc?" Mayu asked.
"Havoc could have regained her powers if she went and stayed by Hell's Gate...if BK-201 goes towards Hell's Gate, he wouldn't stop getting his powers back if Hell's Gate can return contractor abilities," Misaki sighed, she was getting frustrated at herself for letting BK-201 slip away without a trace. Hell's Gate, the reason why beings known as Contractors were running around, causing panic through places where they were. The dolls which came with contractors had their benefits to all of them. Misaki froze, dolls were the passive mediums normally used by contractors. She had seen BK-201 with a silver haired doll with a gothic purple and black dress. Misaki got up from her seat sprinted out the room.
"Chief!" Saito called after her, picking up the pace and went after her. It was night and that meant that contractors were around, he wouldn't forgive himself if he let anything happen to Misaki. He had already taken a possible threat of a contractor for her back at her best friend's party; BK-201 'saved' them because VI-952 (a contractor who could disintegrate anything which his blood fell on) had something he wanted.
Misaki opened the car door and climbed in; Saito ran to the other side of the car and climbed in. Where Misaki would be going, he'll be going to. Misaki looked at him, a smile appeared on her face before she started up the engine and drove off. Misaki knew where she was going and she needed to find BK-201's doll, Yin. The silver haired doll was going to have some information if possible. She had to admit, Li did seem to draw unusual friends to him but Li seemed to get on with everyone. Something she was grateful for.
"Chief?" Saito spoke after a while.
"What is it Saito?" Misaki asked.
"Where are we going?"
"I know BK-201's doll, her name is Yin. She's also friends with Li, that's kind of how I know her."
"I thought Li would have his memory erased by now? I mean, he's seen contractors, he's friends with a doll..." Saito said.
"I'm glad he hasn't," Misaki said.
"Why?" Saito asked.
"Because...if Li's had his memory erased because he knows about contractors...something which the public doesn't know then he won't be the same."
The Death Spark – Chapter 3
Ryuzaki was sitting up at the table while Light and Misa were talking about something he didn't care about; the gears in his mind were busy grinding away trying to figure out if the masked man had a connection to Kira or if he was part of a new group. It could be possible that they weren't connected. It didn't fit Kira's ways but then again, it did have some connection, a stronger jolt of electricity running through the body could lead to a heart attack, even if it is just a small jolt, it could lead to a heart attack. Ryuzaki shook his head; he shouldn't be trying to connect everything to Kira. He looked around, he felt a couple of eyes on him but he easily shook it off, they weren't important to him but his case with Kira was. He and Light were working hard on the case and there wasn't going to be anything to stop him.
He turned back to see Misa laughing again at something Light had said before his eyes caught something, something white. Ryuzaki jumped up from his seat and went to run after the glimpse of white he just had, Light felt himself get pulled as Ryuzaki jumped up. Misa squeaked slightly.
"Ryuzaki, what's wrong?" Light asked his companion as he looked at him, this was starting to be a really big issue with Ryuzaki and Light being handcuffed to him, if Ryuzaki jumped up for no good reason then Light would be dragged too and that annoyed him. Ryuzaki blanked him; the simple fact that he noticed something white could have been the masked man they were going to start hunting down.
"Light, I'm going to have to cut this date short," Ryuzaki said as he looked at Light.
"Why?" Misa half demanded from Ryuzaki, this wasn't the first time that Ryuzaki had stopped a date before it could finish naturally. It was starting to annoy her.
"Police matters," Ryuzaki simple replied before he started to leave.
"I'm sorry Misa, I'll call you later?" Light offered Misa.
"But...Wait! Who's going to pay the bill?" Misa questioned the two men.
"I'll pay for it, is there anything else you want before Ryuzaki drags me off?" Light asked. Misa pouted before she shook her head, she had what she wanted and Light was willing to pay for the meal, and she couldn't stay mad at him for long.
"No, thank you Light," Misa smiled at her boyfriend. Light nodded before Ryuzaki dragged him away, they stopped at the front desk, and Light explained that he had to leave but Misa was still finishing off her meal, the male behind the desk nodded while Light paid for the meal, Ryuzaki kept his eyes open for the white he saw before. It couldn't be possible that he would wander around the streets with the get up he had before. Then again...if he was part of Kira, he could be finding ways to strike fear into people.
The Death Spark – Chapter 3
Hei couldn't just sit back and do nothing, it wasn't in his nature to sit back and do nothing. Hei just walked aimlessly around the streets, just trying to find something to do to fill his life at the moment. It wasn't his fault that he was a work-a-holic, all contractors were. Hei was no different; the simple fact that Hei was a contractor gave him the drive to work. He had tried in his apartment to pick up signals from his company and get ordered to do something, but when he tried...he picked up static. It was like the Syndicate didn't exist, but then again...should he really exist in this world? The stars were real, the moon was up and he was still a contractor. Something didn't work and it was clawing at his mind telling him to return back to his world. Where the fake stars were and where he could work for the Syndicate again, with Yin, Mao and Huang providing the details which he needed.
Hei wandered by a restaurant, he took a peek inside through the window before he saw Misa with two young males, he assumed that the male with brown hair and brown eyes to be Light while the other person he didn't know, he noticed the handcuffs between the two males while Light was talking to Misa, Hei felt himself smile seeing how Misa and her boyfriend were getting on so well. The other male interested him, how he stood out from everyone else. The way he sat, his eyes, his clothes, they didn't fit in to how posh everyone else looked. The male looked at Hei before his eyes widened, it looked like he'd recognise him. Hei took this time to flee.
The Death Spark – Chapter 3
Ryuzaki and Light left the restaurant and Ryuzaki pulled Light down the way that he saw the masked man run; Light pulled out his phone and dialled his father, the chief of the small police group dedicated to catch Kira. He waited while they ran, Ryuzaki kept a very close eye on the masked man before he head Light on the phone.
The mask man looked behind him, both males were after him but he could tell that the black haired male felt like he was in charge, the simple fact that Light probably wouldn't have wanted to leave Misa; they were both having a good time. Hei looked ahead of him before he activated his contractor ability, the light blue aura flared to life around him. Ryuzaki's eyes widened as the masked man touched a nearby lamp post, the light intensified before the bulb shattered, and glass rained down before it spread like wild fire, Ryuzaki watched as the power went down and he couldn't stop it.
"So, we have a being capable of manipulating electricity..." Ryuzaki said quietly.
"What?" Light asked.
"The masked man, he's able to manipulate electricity, which is why he's able to cut the power."
"So, this person can cause the power cut yesterday?" Light asked.
"Yes, but what I don't get is what he is," Ryuzaki said before his eyes widened as the masked man ran into the road while the cars were coming. 'Is this guy insane?" Ryuzaki thought as he watched the cars blow their horns, the masked man ignored the horns before he threw his wire out and zipped off. Ryuzaki and Light had to give up the chase as the masked man escaped from their sight. Ryuzaki looked up at the stars.
"Ryuzaki, what's your plan now?" Light asked his partner.
"The stars...one of them twinkles brightly," Ryuzaki said as his eyes fell onto a twinkling star, Light looked up to find the lonely star glowing more brightly than the others. It twinkled brightly for a little while longer before it dimmed down and looked like a regular star again.
"Ryuzaki...?" Light asked.
"Yes, Light?" Ryuzaki answered.
"The star looks normal now."
"Yes, I'm aware of that."
"Think there's a connection?"
"There's a possibility that the masked figure and the star are connected...The blue radiation he was giving off...the ability to control electricity...something doesn't add it."
"Hmm?"
"Is the man part of Kira? Kira II? "
"Does everything have to be related to Kira?" Light asked getting a little annoyed that Ryuzaki's thoughts always returned to Kira.
"Think about it Light, electricity can stimulate the heart if it starts to fail, electricity can also stop the heart, resulting in a heart attack, Kira's main method of killing people."
"But, just because it can link to Kira, doesn't mean it automatically is linked to Kira," Light told him.
"Maybe, but heart attacks is Kira's method of killing," Ryuzaki sighed as he headed off back to the head quarters. The 'Kira' building as Light once called it. Light followed Ryuzaki thanks to the handcuffs but he's already explained what the masked man looked like and to avoid him at all costs. There wasn't anything else which could be done for the time being, if Ryuzaki believed this masked man to be related to Kira then Ryuzaki was going to capture him and question him. Light looked up at the stars again, the lonely star just looked like a regular star; there wasn't anything which made it look off.
'So, there's a new player in this game, with the ability to control electricity...is he going to be easy to capture?" Light thought, both of them males were unaware that Hei was watching them.
The Death Spark – Chapter 3
Misaki and Saito pulled up outside a tobacco store, Misaki turned off the engine and unbuckled herself from the car, opening the door she pushed it open and stepped outside the car. Saito left the car and gently shut the door to, Misaki walked towards the stand. Inside was a young female with silver hair tied in a pony tail, blank violet eyes stared down at the floor. Her gothic purple and black dress covered the floor where she sat.
"Hello?" Misaki asked the young female lifted her head, letting the person know that she heard her.
"How can I help you?" She asked her voice held no emotion. Saito looked around while Misaki was getting what they needed.
"You wouldn't mind if we came in? We need to talk to you about Li," Misaki told her, Yin nodded and slowly pointed towards the door. Misaki elbowed Saito as she walked around to the door. Saito nodded and followed. Saito looked at the doll in the tobacco store. She sat there in silence as Misaki walked into the building.
"Li?" Yin asked confused, there was a hint of concern in her voice.
"How close are you to him?" Saito asked her.
"Saito, Yin and Li are best friends," Misaki informed her colleague.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Li does seem really popular with the ladies."
"Li treats me...like a human," Yin told them both.
"Li doesn't seem to hold any discrimination about people; I asked him what his opinion was after he first saw a contractor..." Misaki said.
"Contractors...are just following orders," Yin spoke, both Misaki and Saito just looked at Yin, she was BK-201's doll but when they were working with November 11, April and their doll, July, July had never acted like this.
"You use water as your medium, right? Before you can send your spectres through?" Misaki asked the doll in front of her. Yin merely nodded.
"You seem to be different..." Saito commented.
"She is BK-201's doll, what do you expect?" Misaki asked.
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Saito asked.
"Star BK-201 faded," Misaki told Yin, hey eyes widened slightly but it went unnoticed by the two police members.
"BK-201...gone?" Yin asked, her contractor was gone without a trace? That didn't seem like BK-201, the Syndicate would have told the group leader that BK-201 would be moving.
"Yes, the Black Reaper has gone, you can tell us everything now about him," Misaki told the doll, Yin shook her head. She wouldn't spill anything, BK-201 had told her never to revile anything about him.
"BK-201 will never be forgotten...the one contractor who slipped from your grip, Misaki Kirihara," Yin told Misaki.
"Did BK-201 tell you to say that?" Misaki asked as Saito sat there in silence, unsure how to participate in this conversation.
"Yes, BK-201 told me."
"When he's gone for good? When star BK-201 falls out from the sky?"
"BK-201 will never be solved."
FireCacodemon: Review time!
Hei: Just get on with it?
FireCacodemon: DreamDusk - All will be reviled in due time. But don't worry, Hei will find out.
Light: mrg6 - I would like some answers too...but FireCacodemon won't let anything spill. FireCacodemon was happy that the characters were still in the way they were written.
Hei: hobozrule - We'll get this story finished and maybe FireCacodemon will throw in something chaotic as usual. FireCacodemon does that.
FireCacodemon: Well, that's all we have time for. Follow, favourite, review or do all of them, I don't mind. We'll be back next chapter. Until then, take care.
