~Samaree's POV~
I enter the city of Kanto japan, all around me is building that stretch to the sky. Colors of the masses aurora fills the air at eye level. I can tell people's IQ level just by the color imitated from their bodies. Some where smart among the masses some where brainless workers who were stuck to the repeating cycle of work day in and out. Suddenly I feel a familiar aurora, my hand reaches up to clutch the golden locket as I push my way through the crowds. Then I see his aurora dark navy blue with flecks of bright gold. Each aurora is like a finger print no two are ever alike, I know he is the one I've been looking for but it has been a very long time 21 years to be exactly since we where together.
Biting my lip joy wants to take over and make me run over and hug him with all my might. But logic tells me to stay back anything could have happened to him in those 21 years we had not seen each other at all. I walk to him and tap his shoulder very gently,
"Would you happen to be Little Lawiet." I said questioningly
His eyes widened at me and thought I was a threat of some kind immediately I fumbled with my golden locket to show him the picture.
"I don't know if you remember its been like 21 years, but I'm Samaree your friend from next door." I say with bright smile.
"Not possible she's dead." He said
"I am most certainly not dead." I say very sternly
"Tell me something only she would know and not a imposture." He said in a lower voice
"Your Aurora is navy blue with golden flecks that look like little gummy worms that dance around." I said surely
He paused while looking at me sharply, I reached into my purse and pulled out one of my business cards and handed it to him. Then I left, I had a place to be to help my brother Tunic with getting another person to court to be judged. Hopefully before this Kira person got to them. Because the last five people we tried to bring in had died on the way to the court or died in jail before we could stop anything. Meeting up with my brother underneath a dark bridge he shook his head no. I saw the body on the ground behind him and sighed loudly. We left so the police could do their job and collect evidence. Make that six people this Kira person had taken out before we could bring them in.
My phone rings loudly... I picked my flip phone and answered the call.
"Hello, this is Samaree, may I take your order?" I answered
"I would like for you to meet up with me four blocks from where you are currently walking towards. And then take a left and walk another four blocks. I'll meet up with you there." A man's voice told me.
"Okay sir I will be right there on the double." I said with a wink even though he couldn't see if I winked or not.
I split ways with my brother telling him I'll meet up with him back at the bakery. Celestial Jr barked jumping up by my side. He is roughly the size of a mini Australian shepherded, he was my companion and guardian in a way. I quickened my pace for night was falling upon the city rather fast. I counted the blocks accordingly in my head and made it to the location I was told. Suddenly I felt like I was being watched in a dark way. I Jumped up off a side of a building to dodge someone from sedating me or worse. I arm myself with my trusty knife its laced with a paralyzing poison one cut and that limb becomes useless for 30 minutes. I looked at the hooded figure must be my attacker because they came at me again.
I used the back handle of my blade to hit the person in pressure points the syringe dropped onto the ground.
"Who are you and what do you want with me," I say sternly
"I was hoping for you to be easier to transport to Ryuzaki than this." The voice side
The air around me changed as I tried to figure out who he was talking about, the only conclusion I could come up with is that he was talking about Lawiet possibly. Or maybe it was one of the gang lords of the area, that wanted revenge for me taking out one of the subordinates to court only to have that Kira dude to kill them before we could get justice served.
"If Lawiet wants to talk then he can do it in person and not behind these dirty methods." I snarled "That's not the person I remember growing up with."
A voice came out of the darkness shocking me making me jump back to where I was before being struck at.
"A lot can changed in 21 years." Lawiet stated
"Yes I know, I just did not think you would become a bad guy." I snapped
"I'm not the bad guy, I'm trying to catch the bad guy." He sighed putting his thumb to his lips.
"Yeah right," I rolled my eyes "I do a better job at catching bad guys and taking them to court
than you." I snapped
"Not able to lately I presume because of Kira?" He mused
"Of course not but are you Kira because if you are I will take you down even if I swore to
protect you as a child." I said pointing the tip of my knife towards Lawiet.
"No I am the lead detective trying to catch him." He rolled his eyes back at me
"You always were very smart that I can believe," I said instantly relaxing "but why sedate me?"
"So you could not figure out where the HQ was obviously." He retorted
"You could have just told me that in the first place with just you here to meet up with me and I
would have gladly put on a freaking blink fold and let you lead me around like that trust game we did as kids." I sighed
"So will you still let us do that then..."
"Probably, but, I should tell my brother I wont be coming home tonight or he'll send out a search party."
"Sorry we cant do that." Lawiet responded "Oh and call me Ryuzaki, and never call me by my first name at all." He said very sternly
"I'll try to remember that," I laughed
So I followed them with my eyes closed the whole time, my only request was that I held Lawiet's hand while I was being led to where ever this HQ was. I felt the interior of a luxury car with my exposed skin. I leaned back into the seat which was cold and then warm which would mean leather seating. Even with my eyes covered with a cloth I can still see but not with my eyes. With my other senses of course I could tell the amount of space was in the car, what temperature it was set to, and the brand of leather the seats were. The car stops and all three of us get out, my shoes clack against concrete and then against smooth granite, then onto smooth carpet. I hear the metal ding of an elevator one of my most hated creations of man. I preferred stairs over any elevator no matter how tall the building was. My hold on his hand got tighter as I felt the pull of gravity hit me.
"Are you afraid of elevators?" He mused
"Yes, nearly dying from one does that to a person." I hissed
It felt like eternity that we were on that elevator I counted the clicks of the lights shifting to what floor we were on, from the lobby. I counted 64 levels, but I think I might have messed up cause I lost count once due to a flash back. We exit the elevator and walk slowly down a winding hall way two lefts and a right. So that would mean for leaving one left and two rights, I put that into my memory before I hear a key card click a door open. As I enter the door way I take off my trusty tennis shoes they were so old they had almost lost their vibrant color and almost all of the texture on the bottoms, but they fit my feet so perfectly I never wanted to get rid of them. In fact I preferred them to my slip on battle shoes even though those were much safer than my tennis shoes.
The door closed and locked to a few added on locks to the door, I could hear each of them turn over. The cover over my eyes began to lift, my senses reemerged my eyes blinking a few times to take in the large window looking over the Kanto region. A smile breaks my face and I look to my left and right to see a massive president suite. Many rooms and a large living space in the middle, A familiar person sits in the decorative chair like he did when we were kids.
"At least some things don't change Ryuzaki" I smiled
"So what has happened on your end Samaree?" Lawiet asked holding a finger to his lips
"Nothing much, completely being banished from the family since you left, besides that I've been a baker and a bounty hunter with my older brother Tunic." I mused sitting down
"Is your father treated you the same as before?" He asked worriedly.
"Of course always the same abusive man, but he only wanted me to preform the best of my ability to." I sighed
"That's not alright... has he been killed by Kira?"
"No"
I got up from my seat to look at the kitchen that Watari was currently in cooking. I watched him fix the tea and sugar cubs. Their was fresh pie still cooling on the counter, I leaned in to smell the pie. It did not smell as sweet as my strawberry pie, I looked up at Lawiet's critical thinking face, he was watching every move I made.
"You should know by now that this Kira person is hurting my brother's business, and I'd do anything to stop this Kira person." I said slightly amused "According to all my findings I think he's a student may be a college student... I've never been to any kind of school so that is pure guess. I'm sure that you've made the same conclusion by the look in your eyes." I paused
"You've never gone to school?" Watari said surprised
"Nope I was strictly home schooled by my father and mother. I don't know all the stuff only the important stuff like critical thinking." I laughed
"How did you concluded he was a student?" Lawiet questioned
"Because all the deaths happen around night and early morning, and never during the day." I said rolling my eyes. "I've seen them die you know, its hard letting it go."
Lawiet bits his thumb moving his feet around each other as I cut a slice of pie for myself and for him. I set it down along with the tea Watari had already brought over. I can tell he is in deep thought, I get up leaving my pie on the low coffee table taking my tea cup with me to the window. I look at the window the view of so many criminals dying before my brother and I could get them to the court or to jail flashes before my eyes. I'm lost in the visions that Lawiet had to tap my shoulder to bring me back to reality.
"Whom ever is killing these people... They are very childish to believe that they are doing the right thing. This is now how karma works, not at all and if they think they are a god they are wrong. I would be more than happy to show him what kings and queens of the supernatural really act. They don't kill not like this they only keep the balance of life." I snarled
"So would you be willing to join the investigation against the Kira?" Lawiet asked
"Would I ever, I'd even bake all your sweets for you for free." I laughed "I don't know how much help I can be, I'm still training to be queen of my people." I stated taking the last sip of my tea.
"Okay..." Lawiet said slightly alarmed "I thought you gave up on that."
"The current queen has picked me to take her place in the next ten or so years." I sighed softly
