Death Note: Light's Angel

Chapter 7


After Naomi came back, she turned her phone on and accessed the pictures of the Death Note.

"Okay, here is everything I found in the notebook." For several minutes, everyone examined the pictures she took, which were a lot. As they looked over the pages full of names, Soichiro shook his head in disbelief.

"How could Light, my own son, take so many lives? This is just…" He couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence. Sayu understood while she placed her hand on his knee.

"I know Dad." Soichiro smiled, grateful for his little girl's support.

Naomi also showed them pictures of the drawer the notebook was found in. L and the other adults were disturbed by the lengths in which Light will go to keep his secret hidden.

When they were done, L then turned to Mogi. "Mr. Mogi, please bring the evidence box over here."

"Sure." He replied as he went to get the box. After Mogi brought the box over, L asked him to take out the small bag containing the paper with the two names written in it. Sayu gasped when she saw the box's contents.

"Hey, isn't that stuff…?" L nodded with a smile.

"The very items you pointed out to me the first night we conducted surveillance in your home. I had Mr. Mogi and Mr. Ukita track down the garbage truck that stopped there and, when it reached the junk yard, search for the right trash bag."

Sayu smiled. "Wow, I can't believe you actually managed to find them in all that trash." She said to Mogi and Ukita.

"Yeah well, it was a dirty job, but it had to be done." Ukita said with a chuckle.

L then cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Now then, I assume this paper came from your brother's notebook?" He asked Sayu. "I believe so." L nodded.

"In that case, everyone besides Sayu and Naomi please touch the paper. This way, when any of us see Light again, we'll be able to see his Shinigami friend with him."

"But it's evidence. We can't contaminate it with all our fingerprints. That's why Mogi and Ukita avoided touching it with their fingers when they bagged it." Matsuda pointed out.

"Normally I'd agree with that Matsuda, but this is a special case. Just touch it." The chief ordered.

One by one, every person that hadn't touched the notebook passed the paper around. Once that was done, L had Ukita take the box away. Sayu used this opportunity to ask a question of her own.

"Um, Ryuzaki? Can I ask you something?" Sayu began.

"Of course. What is it?" L asked, curious what she wanted to know.

"How exactly did you suspect that Light was Kira?" L then motioned at the engaged couple in the room.

"It was Agent Penber and Miss Misora who made the discovery, hence the reason they are here with us." A stunned Sayu stared at them.

"Really? How did you two figure it out?" she asked.

"Actually, it was all Raye. I just provided a few words of comfort to him." Raye shook his head.

"I couldn't have made the connection without you, sweetheart." Raye then turned to Sayu.

"You see, it went like this…" After he told her about the events on the bus, at Shinjuku Station and on the train, he explained how he realized the truth about Kira…

Flashback

Raye and Naomi were horrified after watching the news. "No… I-It can't be…" A shocked Raye stared down at his hands in disbelief. He felt like throwing up. "What the hell have I done?" He muttered as he collapsed on his knees. His fiancé knelt beside him and held him.

"Raye, please don't blame yourself. This was Kira's doing." Raye shut his eyes and shook his head.

"Kira got their names from me. It's my fault the other agents are dead, Naomi. IT'S ALL MY DAMN FAULT!" Naomi recoiled from her fiancé's burst of anger. Raye saw her reaction and hugged her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you." he apologized.

"It's alright. You're angry, and you have every reason to be." Naomi responded as she returned the hug.

They didn't say another word for a long time. When the two finally parted, Raye gave her a quick kiss. "Thank you." He said gratefully. Naomi smiled back. "For what?" "For being with me."

Naomi kissed him in return. "It will be okay. Kira will be caught and justice will be served."

Raye then looked frustrated.

"I don't see how we can catch him. He knows how to avoid being seen and seems to know more than we suspect. The guy's always one step ahead of the authorities." His fiancé nodded.

"Not all the time. He didn't know you used a fake name, otherwise you would have died too." Naomi reminded him.

"I know." He again wondered who slipped him the note that saved his life. Perhaps he would never know.

"Kira must be pretty pissed that he couldn't kill me." Raye said with a small smile.

"I'll bet. It's just a matter of time before he makes another mistake, one that will lead to his arrest. In the end, the Light of Justice will prevail, like my father says."

Raye mused over Naomi's words.

"The Light of Justice, huh?" Suddenly, something clicked in his head. "Light…" He then got up and stared off into space. A moment later his eyes widened and nearly collapsed from shock. "My god. It's him!" He said in a hushed voice.

"Raye, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Naomi asked as she got back on her feet as well. She looked at her fiancé with concern.

Raye turned to her, looking dumbstruck.

"I remember now. I know why Kira's voice sounded so familiar. It's because… I've spoken to him before." He then took Naomi by the shoulders, surprising her.

"Naomi… I know who Kira is!"

Flashback End

"I see. So… any ideas of who gave you that note?" Sayu asked after Raye finished his tale.

"No. We have no leads on that." Raye responded.

"But whoever it was might also know about the Death Note… and possibly it's owner." L added.

L noticed that Sayu fidgeted when Raye brought up the note, and he remembered how she looked away the moment she saw him. 'I wonder…' However, he chose to not to pursue the subject any further.

"Since we have nothing on Raye's anonymous tipster, I suggest we focus on how to deal with Light…"

"Wait Ryuzaki. About that…" Sayu butted in. "Yes Sayu?" L asked. She appeared nervous before she spoke again.

"On that live broadcast, the one where you challenged Kira, you said it wouldn't be too long before you were able to sentence him to death. Is that what will happen to Light? Will he…really be executed in prison?"

"Sayu, I really don't think you should be asking that." Soichiro said softly. But she would not be swayed.

"I have to know Dad! So, will he?" she asked, turning back to L. He was silent for a second before he replied.

"Considering the severity of his crimes… then yes, the chances of him being executed after arrest are almost 100 percent." Sayu scrunched up her face, and her eyes began to water. "I was afraid of that."

At this point, Sayu couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying. Soichiro pulled her in for a hug, which she returned. After that, not another word was spoken…

The next day, Light came back from being out and headed straight for his room after letting his mom know he was home. As he was about to enter his room he saw, to his surprise, Sayu waiting for him in the hallway.

"Hey Light. What's up?" She asked. Light shrugged.

"Eh, nothing much. You need more help with your homework or something?" He asked.

"Nope, I just wanted to say that you should get a girlfriend." Light sighed from that statement.

"You can be annoying sometimes, you know that?" He complained as he went into his room.

"I know." She replied sweetly as her brother closed the door. Once she was alone, Sayu dropped the smile and stood beside his door. 'If only you knew what I knew…' She thought while she sat, listening for what was to come.

In his room, Light turned his TV on for news on more criminals. A few minutes later, something happened that caught his attention.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have just received word that the detective known as L has a message for Kira. We will broadcast this message now."

"L has a message for me?" Light asked, amused.

"This should be interesting." Ryuk added. The screen then changed to the famous "L" screen Light had seen before.

"Hello Kira. I hope you are watching this broadcast, because what you're about to hear may very well determine how you'll spend the rest of your life." Light raised his eyebrows.

"What does he mean by that?" He asked.

Whatever he thought L was going to say, it wasn't what he was about to hear.

"Kira… I know who you are. And I know how you kill."

To be continued.
