Mira watched him silently as he crept towards her, his feet seemingly gliding across the floor, each movement slow and deliberate. Her hands fiddled with the end of the book, messing around with the edge of the spine.
Raito's eyes darted across the room, their piercing stare finally falling upon Mira with a fixating look.
She drew back in fear of these intense eyes, biting the end of her lip. But all the while, not matter how frightening he looked she was some how drawn to him and because of that her green eyes never left his brown eyes, mesmerized in his stare.
Raito stopped right before her,
straightening up his posture and retaining his over all regal look
and atmosphere that practically choked her it was so prominent.
"You
are now the owner of the Death Note." He said calmly, pointing
at the cover. "It's written in English here for your
understanding but if I'm not mistaken your mother is Japanese and
your frequent trips to Japan have left you bilingual." When he
spoke he pronounced everything in perfect English
She could
feel her heart pounding, threatening to beat itself right out of her
chest. Erupting from its fleshy prison and splattering on the floor,
it continuing it's life only in small spasms and beating for only a
few seconds more before it gives out. That's what it felt like to
her, and when that didn't happen Mira was quite surprised,
unconsciously patting her chest in reassurance. She didn't
understand, couldn't comprehend what it was about him that made her
feel this way.
Heat rushed to her cheeks, her face turning a
bright red hue as he leaned in on her. Her breathing was short and
ragged, straining to escape her lips.
"Uh-huh…" She
replied dumbly, not even cursing herself for her stupid reply.
Raito
smiled, his casual yet alluring smile that had captivated another
girl in another time and now seemed to captivate this girl.
He wasn't about to reveal to this girl what or who he was just yet. He'd remain on a first name basis and for all he knew she might have thought him to be an angel, descended from heaven to solve all her problems. Sadly for her, he was the exact opposite of that.
Shinigami weren't even close to being considered angels.
"I want you to go to Japan if you will, meet up
with a few people or I'm taking back the book." This time he
spoke more forcefully than before, crossing his arms over his
chest.
She tilted he head and said calmly. "Sure." It was
sudden that reply but Raito had been expecting that. It was just like
Misa. She was under his spell.
He smiled broadly, exposing rows of perfectly straightened and whitened teeth in a smile that w neither friendly nor threatening. It was like a smile a teacher gives you when you tell them a story; they're never really interested, just trying to act interested. That's how his smile was, but that didn't affect her in the least.
Mira patted her chest. It
felt as if her heart had melted, seeping into the blood stream. But
the faint beating reassured her that she still had a pulse, no matter
how rapidly it was going.
She wasn't surprised at all surprised
by her sudden interest in this mysterious person, wasn't in the
least. She felt as if she was meant to be with him, like it was an
act of god.
Kira was god. So it worked.
"Good, I want you there as soon as you can. And please, try to get there in a safe, legal way." He commented, backing up. It was odd he was expressing concern, but the girl did have his Death Note and she was his ticket to this world. He wouldn't drop her just yet, first he had to accomplish his goal, or mission so to speak.
And of course she had no idea what his goal or mission was, but only Raito knew that. And those devious plans would only come into use when he was thoroughly assured he could achieve his goal.
"I'll go
tomorrow. Visit mom and head over to Japan. She offered just
recently." She told him, setting the book down finally in her lap.
He glanced at it then at her face, staring at her. "Good, I'm
glad she offered you a job." But of course Raito already knew this.
He already knew that Mira's mother was president of a big label
modeling agency that was spread across the world. They were having a
shoot done in Japan and her mother had been harping her constantly to
apply and model for them. Every answer her mother had received had
been a 'no' in various forms of course. She would be pleased with
this sudden coming over to her side and gladly allow her daughter to
travel to a foreign country where her grandparents still lived.
Raito
had this all carefully planned out.
He knew who Mira has or will
have contacts with and that was his first step in his over all
accomplishment.
Misa.
