Beyond would always have a plan before attempting to do something even remotely difficult. Maybe dying had changed him...*NAH*, Truly, Beyond Birthday just couldn't be bothered to think up a better plan than walking right up to L and yelling "I'M IMMORTAL" or something like that. It didn't take too long for B to find out where L was currently held up. Japan. He learned from all of the documents and News reports on "The Kira Killings" hm...that sounded suspiciously similar to "BB Murder Cases" B had dramatically yelled out "COPIER!" In the middle of the library.
He was surprised no one recognised the weird early adult with layered black hair sitting down at a computer with his hood up. Surely that would be suspicious. Especially in LA after the BB killings after all. But no, it was early in the morning and no one could be bothered with the weird guy they probably assumed was yelling at someone for copying his homework or something stupid like that.
The hardest part was getting to Japan, B had really thought that breaking out of a body bag, then breaking out of the morgue, then breaking out of the hospital was the hardest part. But no, pick-pocketing random people and hitching rides with strange looking suspicious guys was the hardest part. Considering those types only brought hitch-hikers so far.
It took a week of travel and planning to get to where he was now. But now he was without a plan. Standing in front of the Task Force HQ, with no direct way in. He couldn't walk in and demand to see L, they'd probably pretend they have no idea who he is. And he wanted to minimalize the amount of people that knew he was alive.
So, telling them he was related to the world's greatest detective? -NOT, the best idea.
Especially with Kira running around. Beyond had died once already by that dudes hand, he didn't need to die AGAIN.
B approached the building, crossing the empty road as he glanced inside. Nothing out of the ordinary. Two guys at a desk. B stepped back and leaned against the wall with a loud sigh. It must be lunch time. Because cops were exiting the building, nobody he suspected was too important, maybe. A few more people shuffled around the cops entering as well, Beyond figured he'd have to think of something else and stood up straight, stretching his arms above his head. Two more people left, Beyond barely paid them any notice. Until his eyes stuck onto one of their heads.
"Naomi Misora" Beyond breathed, his eyes stuck to the numbers above his head, he didn't even care that she was dying today. It was just the fact that it was HER. HERE. IN JAPAN!, B just shook his head quickly and paused. THIS WAS HIS WAY TO L. B quickly jolted and started to walk a little behind her, tugging at his hood. He just...could not hear what she was saying. But he was sure he heard L's name.
B wanted Misora to walk away from the guy she was talking to, then he could get her alone. But, annoyingly so, she was in a deep conversation with the guy, and it didn't seem like they were breaking up their conversation anytime soon. "I am having the worst kind of week" B hissed to himself. Little did he know of The Death God floating mere metres away.
Because Beyond was technically a human object. He could not see things that were not human objects. B was born on Earth. He couldn't see The Death God in the other realm. And Ryuk was laughing. Light Yagami had assumed it was because of the woman next to him, giving a fake alias. But he had found that out earlier. Ryuk had stopped laughing, and now was laughing again. Light just wanted to spin around and angrily demand "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?!" But, he couldn't, for obvious reasons.
"You seem to get followed a lot, Light-O" Ryuk cackled, Light tried not to freeze up, but he did, just a little. Followed?! I'm being followed...again? He was with this woman. Now whoever was following him as a witness to that. He couldn't kill the woman.
Beyond jolted for a second. Suddenly Misora's numbers went up by one week. Huh weird. Beyond just shook his head, that was NOT how the eyes worked? how could someone change someone's death date? -It was a crazy scenario to him. He had tried many times to change A's death date, it just didn't work?
Was this boy she was with...not human? was MISORA not human? was there something lurking in the shadows? Beyond peered around, squinting his eyes, he couldn't help the nagging feeling that something was in the darkness, watching, but he could not see anything. "This is annoying me" Beyond muttered bitterly, he kept trying to see. But he couldn't.
Then B decided to strike, Misora and the boy...L...Light? Yagami, Beyond squinted his eyes again and nodded -well, he had learnt some Japanese in his years, his name was Ratio, translated to Light. B preferred Light. Well, they seemed to be ending their conversation.
So Beyond strutted past them both, knocking into Misora, Misora acted just as he predicted...she always did, and her head shot up -"Hey!" she snarled, 'oof, Misora, you've got more fire than I do' B almost laughed at his own joke, but granted he was in the position where Misora-Massacre was staring him down angrily.
"Quite sorry, a woman of your beauty should not be knocked down" B almost teased, he remembered saying something very similar once, he was just looking for clues to shoot the woman, he glanced up at her and the moment her face twisted into one of shock...well, B would have loved a framed picture of it on the wall. Beyond just smiled, "I am in quite the rush" he hummed. And began walking again.
Naomi Misora's mouth opened and closed, her eyes becoming hazy with confusion and shock and the boy next to her, Yagami Light, stared and shook his head "at least the guy said sorry" Light commented before turning "are you coming?" he questioned, Naomi blinked and squinted her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I have to run" Naomi replied "I have your number right?" she asked, but her question did not require an answer, and she took off in the direction of Beyond Birthday, who turned into an alleyway and started running. Misora followed, turning into the alley. "STOP!" she yelled, Beyond turned his head, placing his foot on the ground as he was mid-run.
"Come now, Misora, you don't still have that gun I gave you" Beyond chimed happily, but he could only feel his heart leap when she pulled a gun out -and pointed it right at him "I would not suggest you doing that with your male peer begin within hearing distance-" Beyond was cut off by the cock of her gun.
"Faking your death, I should have seen it coming. With people dying in Prison, it was so blatantly obvious that you would catch word of Kira and fake a heart attack" Naomi sneered "I guess you one-up me again. But, I'm one step ahead of you!" she scowled.
"I didn't fake my death and I was never in prison" B leaned back on his heels and smiled cheekily "I was taken to a mental hospital. Did L fail to mention my transfer?"B smirked "what else did he tell you?" Naomi squinted her eyes with confusion and B rolled his. "I didn't know about Kira. I don't even know what a Kira is...really? he's some sort of weird supernatural killer or something. He killed me-"
"obviously not!" Misora snapped "you're still here"
"I never told you I was human" B pointed out, Naomi rolled her eyes, giving a sarcastic smile "oh? You don't believe me?" he pouted "I thought we were friends. Fine, shoot me. I dare you. Just make it quick, dying the first time around actually very much hurt. Not as much as being lit on fire, but a heart attack was a close second. I knew the jam would get to me" Misora pressed down on her trigger
"you're coming with me!" She warned
"I can't let you do that. The only reason I wanted to talk was for you to get me to L" B answered
"You're out of your mind!" she laughed, stepping closer "don't move, Beyond." she warned
"what happened to 'Ryuuzaki'?" B pouted and stepped closer himself "Listen, I have decided recent events have put me on the winning side of the chess board. L will die in about...how many years? 5? -If I remember correctly. I don't know. But he will die, I will live. I have won and he can look at A for the rest of his miserable...no, so much...life" he rambled "and I'll be here. Now, listen to Misora-" Naomi held up the gun and B groaned.
"What did L even tell you about my past?" B questioned "I assure you, he's probably lying"
"He doesn't know anything about you" Misora snorted
"what did he say?" B asked darkly, his eyes flaring up and his teeth clamping down "did he tell you he doesn't know me?"
"he knows 'OF' you" Misora shrugged "I assume you've never met in public" she smirked.
"met in public? We met in the womb, Misora" B beamed "L is ashamed of his little brother!" B gasped "I wonder why..." Misora just jolted, her eyes blinking quickly and her face twisting with shock "he didn't tell I'm his brother, did he even tell you why I killed those people"
"does it matter?" Misora snapped "murder is MURDER" B just shrugged
"True" B agreed "but I don't wish to hurt L. I wish to...recieve..." B almost choked on his words and cleared his throat "Recieve...special..." he muttered quietly, clearing his throat again "treatment...?"
"do you mean help?" Misora asked
"YES, that word" B nodded "what else is a serial killer who is immortal meant to do? go back to Jail? go back to the crazy house. Well, I'm dead. My body was sealed in a body bag, that I had to claw my way out of when I came back to life." he beamed. "Really fucking sucked...and as MUCH as I'd love to wrap Kira's intestines around his neck and pull...I have promised myself NO killing, as it would be bad to my youthful image. And I must keep a good image of myself if I'm to watch the entire world die one day"
"You're crazy" Misora shook her head "I'm taking you straight to the police-" she warned
"I'll run" B pointed "you can shoot me, I'll come back and heal and keep running" he snarled darkly "there's not a corner you will find me. If you want to get the entire world involved. Think about what Kira could do with someone who his power doesn't work on" Misora's eyes widened and B cocked his hip out, grinning happily "I mean...what could a psychopath DO with another psychopath. What things could Kira FORCE me to do if I can take a million bullets and survive? You'll certain die, Misora. L will burn. Everyone will burn if I fall into the wrong hands" he challenged.
"OR, you faked your death and you're a liar. Seems more...obvious" Misora nodded "seems more believable, since all you do is LIE, CHEAT and HURT" she ranted "you can't be trusted and you're a snake in the grass!"
"Shoot me" B challenged "just get it over with so we can go to L-"
"It's not that simple, I can't find him either!" Misora yelled
"Who was that boy you were with, Misora? -Yagami Light. He a friend or foe?" B grinned, Naomi blinked "his name is above his head, just like yours, just like L's. Just like Light's, is HE connected with L? Does my brother have a boyfriend?" he teased. Naomi just scrunched her face up
"You talk of madness, names and numbers. You never make any sense, you just get...stranger" Naomi whispered
"that's not a NOooo" B sung "well, I suppose I don't need your help then" he hummed "I hope we speak soon, Misora. I enjoy our chats." And B ran around the corner,
Naomi Misora barely had a second to even speak before he was gone.
