A few days later at the new hotel
Hikari yawned as she walked into the main observation room. Ryuuzaki was already up with his usual cup of coffee along with a sucker used to stir it. Light was up as well, but seemed a bit tired, probably due to the fact that Ryuuzaki had a weird way of sleeping--on the rare occassion that he did sleep--so Light was never really able to get a good night's rest. Ryuuzaki looked up when he heard her.
"Oh, hey Hikari, you're up early today. Did you sleep well?" he asked her.
"Yep, best sleep of my life, how's it going with you two?" she asked, sitting down.
"Good," Light responded with a yawn.
"Fine, thanks," Ryuuzaki said then took a sip from his coffee cup. The room was very quiet for Misa wasn't up yet. Hikari and the others enjoyed the silence as much as they could knowing it wouldn't be too long before the spontaneous blonde bounced into the room to greet Light.
As if they knew it would happen they all stared at the door, seeing it open. Just as they thought, it was Misa all dressed and ready to go.
"Light! Good morning! Did you sleep well?" Misa asked as she made her way over to Light.
"It's noon, Misa, not morning," Light answered bluntly. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with Misa's whining today.
"So, Light, can we go on a date today, please?!" she asked him.
"Misa, today isn't-" he began.
"Aww, come on, Light. One date won't kill you," Hikari said just to get Misa to not whine about how Light is her boyfriend and that he's supposed to go on dates with her. Ryuuzaki eyes narrowed as they shifted over to her.
"Yeah, see, come on, Light, please?!" she begged him, hugging his arm.
"Fine," Light agreed. Misa squealed in excitement.
"Come on, Light, let's go," Misa said as she pulled on him. Light reluctantly followed her and unfortunately Ryuuzaki was forced to follow as well. Hikari sat before the monitors, waving to the detective as he left.
"Have fun, Ryuuzaki," she said to him with a smile. He looked at her, in a way giving her that 'traitor' look. She giggled and shook her head as they left the room. She turned to the screen and monitored what happened. It wasn't long before Matsuda and Mr. Yagami walked inside the room and joined her, Aizawa coming in soon after.
"So, where are they?" Aizawa asked as he looked around.
"Oh, they're on a date in Misa-Misa's room," Matsuda said.
"Surveillance cameras, huh? Well, I guess that does make sense considering Misa's connection to the second Kira. And for God's sake, Matsuda, please stop with this damn Misa-Misa crap?!"
"Uh-yeah, sure," Matsuda replied, sounding a little disappointed.
"Man, this has got to be the lamest date I've ever been on," Misa said, not amused.
"No, no, no, just pretend I'm not even here, ok. By the way, are you gonna eat that piece of cake?" Ryuuzaki asked as he held a fork in his mouth.
"Cake makes you fat! So, I'm definitely not going to eat any of it," Misa replied.
"Actually, I found that you don't gain any weight as long as you burn calories using your brain," he said to her reply.
"Hmm! So now you're calling me stupid?! Fine then, I'll give you the piece of cake if you go away and leave me and Light alone!" she demanded.
"Even if I leave, I'll still be watching on surveillance cameras. So there's really no difference," he retorted.
Hikari shook her head as she listened to them on camera. Kaito's eyes were glued to the screen as he looked at the piece of cake. "Cake, must have it," he said, pressing his face against the screen.
'Dammit, Kaito! Move your big, fat head! I can't see!' she thought, unable to really do anything about the shinigami blocking her view.
"You pervert! Could you stop it with your creepy hobby?!" Misa asked Ryuuzaki.
"You can call me whatever you like, last time for cake," he said as he stood up on the couch and stepped onto the table with one foot as he reached for the plate of cake.
"Ok then, I'll just close the curtains and turn off all the lights," Misa said happily.
"We have infrared cameras in here, as well," he said and took a bite of his cake. Kaito growled as he moved away from the camera and over to the corner.
Noticing a change in Ryuuzaki, Light turned to him, asking him what was wrong with him and why he hadn't been motivated lately. He replied to his question with the fact that he was depressed.
"Ryuuzaki, why are you depressed?" Light asked.
"Well, to be honest, I thought that you were Kira and my entire case ended on that fact," he said chewing another piece of cake. He swallowed before finishing his explanation. "I guess it's just impossible for me to come to the conclusion that my deduction was wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm still suspicious of you; hence, why we are wearing these handcuffs," he said lifting up his chained wrist.
He went on explaining his reasoning that Light and Amane were Kira and that he recently discovered that Kira's power passes through people. He finished with saying that it didn't matter what they do, even if they arrest another Kira that person will no doubt lose memories and they'd be going in an endless cycle.
Light replied by telling him that they don't know if that is a solid truth or not then continued by telling him to cheer up.
"Cheer up? No, I'm sorry. It's impossible. I should probably stop trying so hard. I mean by going after Kira, we're risking our lives for absolutely nothing. I guess this is just all a waste of time and energy," he admitted. Light stood up.
"Ryuuzaki?" he said. He turned to Light, who unexpectedly punched him in the face, sending him flying across the room. Light was pulled along with him. Misa screamed, backing up, stepping in the piece of cake that fell to the floor. She desperately tried to wipe off the remnants of the cake as Light and Ryuuzaki continued their assault.
He sat up, "That really hurt, ya know," he said to Light.
"That's enough! You don't feel like doing anything just because your genius deduction was wrong and I'm not Kira!?" Light asked. Ryuuzaki wiped his mouth.
"Fine, perhaps I phrased that the wrong way. I meant it would be pointless for us to make a move; so, we shouldn't even bother," he replied.
"If we don't chase Kira, he'll never be caught. Is that what you want? If you were just gonna give up then why did you involve all those innocent people. More importantly, what was the point of putting Misa and me behind bars?" Light asked as he grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him toward him.
"I understand, but still, whatever the reason," he pulled away and kicked Light directly in the jaw, "an eye for an eye, my friend." As the chain tightened it sent them both flying across the room. Both landed on the couch, causing it to fall backwards.
"It's not my deduction that was wrong. The fact is I can say Light Yagami is Kira and Misa Amane is the second Kira, but it won't be enough to solve the case and that's why I'm a little depressed. Is that so unreasonable to you?" he asked.
"Yes! Yes it is, besides you should hear yourself. It's as if you won't be satisfied unless I am Kira," Light growled.
"I-I won't be satisfied unless you're Kira? Well, there maybe some truth to that. In fact, now that you mention it, you're right, I think I wanted you to be Kira," he admitted. Light punched him yet again. Ryuuzaki stood his ground.
"As I said before, an eye for an eye. I'm a lot stronger than I look, ya know," he growled then spun around kicking Light in the jaw yet again.
"We gotta call the room and get them to stop!" Matsuda spoke. As the two were about to hit each other again, the telephone rang. Ryuuzaki answered it and Matsuda went on saying something about Misa's popularity in a magazine in order to get them to quit fighting. It worked and the two of them finally calmed down.
Hikari and the others sighed. "Well, that was interesting to say the least," she said.
"At least it's over now," Matsuda replied. The others nodded in agreement.
