"People do strange things after losing a loved one..." he began playing with his dice again. "They went to Kyoto..."
Soichiro blinked, "Explain how you came about all of this..."
"I had been going over L's files and reports, then I went out to the store. I heard the sirens, saw the explosion, then saw the police dropping from extreme pain. I saw Sayu, who I had recognized from L's reports and pictures, running into the Sakura TV station. I tried to follow her, but was lost in the crowd, so I figured that Sayu had gone to see Misa, considering that they are connected by your son. I began questioning people as to Misa's whereabouts, then just barely saw her get in her car and drive away. From there, I thought that perhaps they might have been trying to get away considering the use of the Deathnote, so I made a few calls and had some people search for them. It was during that time that I discovered the deaths of the criminals. Finally, one of my people located her car in the parking lot of the airport. Upon arriving at the airport I asked about seeing security tapes. After a long while, I noticed Sayu with a girl that I assume was Misa in disguise. I noted the time and then proceeded to the counter they'd purchased the tickets from. I asked them to look under their names, but as I suspected, they used fake names, so I asked them to look up the tickets based on the time they were purchased. The destination was on the ticket, and the destination was Kyoto." Near glanced up at Soichiro as though pleased with himself.
Soichiro sat there taking all of this in. "That's quite a day..." he commented. He got up from his chair starting to pace around the room. "I see. So, is the plan to bring them in? I do not want my daughter harmed. I do not want what happened to Light..." he took a breath, he was getting to old for this game of cat and mouse.
He was well into his Fifties, but this was his daughter. The girl that was much more kind and gentle up until the discovery of Light and the truth. "Near, why would my daughter do this? There is nothing to gain from it except agony and jail time. She is smarter then that...and has more kindness in her then Light ever did. Maybe, its Misa Amane that wrote down the Criminals names this time..."
Near shrugged and shook his head. "It's as I said, losing a loved one makes people do crazy things...and I don't know her as you do...so I wouldn't know..."
"I guess we are going to Kyoto then, am I right?" Soichiro crossed his arms in wait.
Near nodded and stood up, pocketing his dice. "Kyoto it is."
Arriving in Kyoto was the tricky part especially finding the luggage. Sayu and Misa had taken the liberty to go to one of the few hotels that were not well known. It cause less of a stir especially for Misa being that she was a celebrity.
Sayu slammed her bags down on a small desk the room provided, "I cannot believe you killed those 3 criminals while I was napping, Misa."
"I did not kill them...I just wrote their names...in a sparkly pink notebook." Misa laughed.
"Ugh...and what was with you singing the whole time Ryuk?" Sayu sat in a chair leaning back feeling so tired and wasted.
"I had to entertain myself somehow, didn't I?" he answered. "It was so boring in there...then I ate all the apples..." he pouted.
"Ugh..." Sayu closed her eyes relaxing. "I'm so dead. Dad is gonna kill me..."
Misa looked over at her. "Crap! Your Dad is the police...I keep forgetting. That means we have to move to a different hotel in the next two days...or be caught. How are we to revive Light and run at the same time?" she pouted.
"I don't know...we need to find a Occult Shop for this..." Sayu huffed. "I'm so tired...but I don't trust either of you in this room."
Ryuk gave a creepy laugh. "You can't trust me ever..." he pulled out his second deathnote and showed it to her. "I can kill you at any time I want...but I'm a bit more entertained by your attempts...so perhaps I will let you live a while longer..."
Sayu glanced in Ryuk's direction seeing the Death Note. "Great...so that was my Brother's downfall, huh?"
Misa sniffled. "Aw...that's why he died by trusting a Shinigami?" she sat on the bed almost crying, but tried so hard to hold her tears back.
Ryuk laughed again. "That's a risk you take by taking ownership of the deathnote..."
Sayu nodded looking over at Misa, "Seriously we need an Occult Shop..."
"Why?" Misa pouted
"To...find Light's spirit...you know the whole Astral Projection thing..." Sayu huffed. "I thought about it on the plane..."
"Astral Projection?" Misa blinked. "Seriously?...that would work?"
"Yes...if the meditation is done correctly..." Sayu explained.
"I see...well...maybe...I dunno..." Misa huffed. "So we locate this spirit...then...what?...go to it and avoid the police?"
"Yes...but in order for this to work I need silence...and be peaceful..." Sayu explained. "That's hard with you two around..."
"So what? Ooa...can I go kill some more people?" Misa asked.
"You can, just...only few in the Kyoto region and Tokyo as well..." Sayu explained.
Misa grabbed the Death Note, the remote to the tv and a pen.
Ryuk Chuckled and turned to look at Sayu.
Sayu got up going into the bathroom. She looked around and decided to sit in the floor trying to relax herself and start her meditation. As things around her started to change thanks to the Shinigami Eyes, Sayu started to see a dark place. Clouds surrounded her essence as she came upon the sight of her brother sitting lonely on some steps looking away from the world. Water surrounded them, and as Light turned back to look at Sayu...
Sayu opened her eyes taking a breath. "What the heck?" she sat up from bed?
Misa looked at her. "I killed only two people...um...you scared me...you passed out...and started saying something...but it was hard to tell..."
"I saw him..." Sayu commented, she placed a hand over her eyes
"Not a good sight, is it?" Ryuk asked.
"No...not really, it was dark and cold." Sayu shivered, "Light was at some steps...but there was also water. There is nothing like that in Japan...that I can think of."
Misa thought, "Something like that sounds like Italy..."
"Italy!" Sayu blinked "Why would he be in Italy?'"
"I dunno...hey he can't go to Heaven or Hell...what else is there to really do...?" Misa shrugged
"It's not possible for him to be in italy..." Ryuk said nonchalantly. "A spirit can only go a short distance from the place of death."
"That means we have to go back?" Misa frowned. "Ryuk...how far can a spirit go?"
Sayu was listening in on this. She sighed, it be too dangerous to go back but if they had too...
"Hn...somewhere around 35 miles I think..." Ryuk shrugged then lay down on his side in mid-air.
"He died...in L's former headquarters..." Misa huffed.
Sayu nodded, "Yes. We'll have to go back...in a couple of days..."
"But how are we gonna pull off a Occult Ritual we do not even know, and not be killed by cops?" Misa asked suddenly.
"The two days we use to research...and change our appearances, as well as, our alias names...again. We can never have the same name for longer then a month.." Sayu looked at Misa.
"I see..." Misa nodded.
"What, nothing else to say?" Sayu asked
"Well...its partially my fault Light died. I felt so stupid...so...I did things I normally would not do." Misa explained
"I noticed. Over the last year you appeared in less Magazines, and the only TV thing you do now is for Health Foods...not to mention Donations to high Charities. You are not as bouncy or full of life either..." Sayu replied
"Well...I'm tired these days anyway...so lets get Light back..." Misa smiled. "We can do research tomorrow...first is the identity problem..."
"I will go blond I suppose...you?" Sayu asked
"Black hair ...since it blends in with so many other girls..." Misa nodded
Ryuk chuckled. "Switching haircolors with each other..."
Soichiro sat on the plane to Kyoto feeling very uneasy. He ran a hand through his hair looking down at his hands.
"You are nervous?" Near asked, though it sounded more like an observation. He had taken off his seatbelt and sat with his legs drawn up onto the chair, and had taken out his dolls of himself, mello, and kira and was examining them.
Soichiro looked at Near as he had taken the dolls out and started to mess around with them, "...its my daughter...we're talking about. I...do not want to lose another child." he commented briefly, before moving to another topic, or trying to at least. "What are the dolls for?"
Near shrugged. "I have to have some entertainment...I like my toys..."
Soichiro nodded, keeping quiet for a while longer as they landed. Picking up his suitcase of belongings he proceeded with Near to the people that were working the desks of the air port
Near also grabbed his belongings and headed towards the desk.
"Excuse me, have either of these two rented a car recently?" he asked, holding out a piece of paper with Misa and Sayu's pictures and fake names on it. The person behind the desk looked at him suspiciously.
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm not allowed to give out that information." Near sighed then dug for something in his pocket, then pulled out what looked like a badge. The man behind the counter stared for a moment, then said, "Umm...let me see..." he typed frantically on his computer, then, "Ahh, yes." He gave them the license plate number.
"Does this car have gps tracking on it?"
"Yes, if you...uh...may I?" he gestured to the paper while pulling out a pencil. Near set the paper down. "If you go to this website and type in the license number it will give you a location map that is accurate within about a hundred meters," he said as he scribbled down the web address.
"Thank you," Near said politely, taking his papers and then turning away.
