Chapter 4: Friends? What Friends?

A couple of days later I was sitting on the couch reading when Rioketsu comes in "so… Raye's dead?" I responded without looking up "It would seem so." Rioketsu looked at me funny and said "well I see you're not affected by this."

"It needed to happen for the plot to keep going, but I can't say I'm happy about it," I said with a frown. I look at my watch "well, I better get ready." getting up "why? Where are you going?" he said confused. "To see a friend," I said with a smirk and start walking towards the door. "Friend? What friend? She has no friends," he said frantically. "I heard that."

I head to the location of my target 'Damn where is she? …Ah there she is,' I said in my mind looking at Naomi and Light. "Wait she's gonna tell him her name that idiot okay time for operation Criminal," I smirked to myself, ready to initiate the when a voice interrupted my train of thought."What's that?"

"Ahhhhh Rioketsu? Don't do that," I screamed/whispered "sorry I just wanted to know who your friend was...now I get it".

"Sometimes I wonder," I whispered then sigh and say "go home and clean up were having a guest over."

"Okay." Rioketsu leaves. I pulled up my fuzzy hoddie and ran over to Naomi, grabbed her purse and ran like my life depended on it and as I planned, Naomi came running after me and Light was left alone, standing in the dark, forever alone and contemplating death… just kidding he had the WTF face which was very amusing, but back to the chase.

A couple of blocks later and I entered my home and running in came Naomi "stop right there," she said out of breath "yeah, yeah here you go," I said with a bored tone throwing the purse back at her. She stared at me like I grew a second head "take a sit ill make you some tea." I walked towards the kitchen a few minutes later I come out with some tea for Naomi and piece of cake for myself. I set the tea in front of her and sat on the arm chair across from her. As I was eating my piece of cake, I looked up to see her looking at me "oh I'm sorry how rude of me do you want some cake?" I asked with a smile.

She looked at me suspiciously and said "no but do you mind telling me what just happened." I looked at her "whatever do you mean?" she sipped her tea and responded "why did you steal my purse and made me chase you all the way here, to then give it back and offer me some tea and cake?" I looked at her with a serious face and to then responded "because if I hadn't done that you'd make a horrible mistake, that in the end would lead to your death"

"What?" she said alarmed "you were about to give out your real name Naomi-san." she looked at me in panic "h-how do u know my name?" she stutter scared for her life "That reminds me I have something you may want." I gestured to one of my chairs and ran up the stairs to grab Raye's computer. It was hers by right after all. I took it from its place on my desk turned to go downstairs. As I entered the living room again she was still very apprehensive and understandably so. However, she was calm which meant she could handle crazy. I placed the computer in front of her. She looked at it with sadness quickly noticing that it was her fiancés computer. I turned to find some strawberries for my cake in the kitchen and left her to herself for a moment. I heard a muffled sob and searched longer than necessary for the strawberries.

After a few minutes, I returned and placed the strawberries in a bowl on the table, then handed her a box of Kleenex. She looked at me for a moment, narrowing her eyes."How did you get this?"

"I was with him as he died. He was an excellent agent." She looked at me uncertain "don't worry if I was Kira I would have killed you already. You're too much of a threat to Kira," I said looking at her with a smirk then looked down and continued talking "but that doesn't matter right now I need your help."

"With what?" she asked curious "I can't tell you unless you join me, just know that it will help you get your revenge, the justice, you deserve." she looked at me surprised. She glared and yelled "Why should I trust you, your just some girl I just met."

I looked at her red face with a blank stare and answered "Because I, not only know how Kira kills, but I know who Kira is… Both of us together we can bring this bastard down." She was startled by my answer and quite speechless.

After a couple of moment of silence, I asked once more "My name is Kiome Higurashi, a 16 years old girl, and if you're willing I'll explain it to you. But if you're not sure you're welcome to leave Naomi-san. So I will ask you again…will you join me?" she stayed silent until she answered me saying "yes I want to help you for Raye. He never did like the thought of me working with L."

"You will be working with L. But you will be working for me as well." She looked at me and I saw pure blazing determination. I smiled and pulled out a piece of paper and threw it at her "think fast." she caught it and then looked at Rioketsu behind me "Naomi-san, this is Rioketsu, a shinigami." She began to stutter "n-no way."

"Hmm, I half expected you to faint Naomi-san, but back to the point, Kira can kill without being there and using a heart attack and you would doubt the existence of a shinigami?"

"Good point" she answered

"Naomi-san, I will be calling you by the name Akira from now on. I will explain what I have planned so that you understand. The FBI was investigating the Kira taskforce; there was a breach of security, The FBI agents died. The agents arrived on the 14th of December, and on the nineteenth Kira begins to experiment with prison inmates and how much he can control them, showing that he became aware of the FBI's presence during this time. Then on the 27th the FBI agents are dead. Kira can't let L know about Raye, and we can't tell L."

"Why not?" she asked in confusion "Because Akira, in this game knowledge is power in other words the more we know the closer we are to justice, now I know how Kira kills ,I know that he was being investigated by your fiancé, and I know who Kira is himself but we don't have solid evidence to convict him but neither does L"

"I can show you how he kills, but I will not tell you who he is at this time. Rioketsu show her the Death Note please," The notebook dangled in front of Akira-san for a moment, before it was re-placed in its holster. "Kira kills with a note book?"

"Yes fascinating isn't it"

"uh yeah but how is that possible," I smirk and turn to Rioketsu "Rioketsu I think you better explain, since you've been using that method for years now" Rioketsu laughs and begins explaining "This is how it works you write the name of the person you want to kill with the face of the person in mind or else it won't work. You can write in detail the way the person will die and what he will say. However, if you choose not to do so, then the person will automatically die of a heart attack. A person who uses the death note can neither go to heaven or hell." Naomi looked perplexed at the new information she was given "but wait how did Light gain a death note."

"I can answer that." Naomi looks at me "Ryuk, a shinigami 'drooped' his death note in the human world, which he wasn't supposed to." Naomi stayed silent for a few seconds analyzing all this new info. "Akira, you are going to be my go-between. I'm going to give you a computer and send you to L's location where you will work with the task force and I will help from over the computer. You will during this time, address me as Seigi-san. That should annoy both L and Kira who I will also be contacting soon enough," I said grinning "I've been tracking him since the L Taylor's broadcast thing." She gave me an annoyed look and I smiled and began to finish my cake."L has many computers Akira-san. And he is the only one who moves from hotel to hotel without leaving Japan."

"Are you telling me you've been tracking his IP address?" she asked not believing what she's hearing. "Yes," I said with a smile. She began to rub her forehead and I laughed. "Also Akira, while I'm in my Justice persona I will expect you to act as though I am male".

"Okay when do you want me to go?" I checked my watch "In about five minutes." She looked at me with wide eyes "What! Why didn't you tell me that before?" I looked at her and smirked "Well the task force is gathering on the corner of the NPA building. They will then be split into two groups. I want you to follow the one that contains this man." I held up a picture of Matsuda."You're giving me no time for this, are you?" put my hand on the arm of the chair and rested my chin on the back of my hand with a smirk in my face" you better hurry or you'll lose your chance." I gave her my laptop and she glared at me as she left and walked to the hotel. I returned to my room and flipped open my other laptop.

Naomi's POV

I was following the man Kiome-san had specified and was now in the elevator with him and the other man. I had pressed a button above theirs to make it look like I was still going to go up after they left. I smiled hesitantly at them and waited until they had exited the elevator before following them. They didn't even look back at me. I slid behind their rejoined group as one man knocked on the door.

I followed everyone in through the unlocked door after L bade us to enter. I really felt like laughing. It worked, Kiome's plan actually worked. When I look up I see …BEYOND BIRTHDAY? Wait no his eyes are different. Man I almost had a heart attack. He scratched his ankle with his foot. "I am L."

"I'm Yagami, of the NPA."

"Uh, Matsuda."

"I'm Aizawa."

"Mogi."

"Ukita."

'Were they idiots or something,' Really if this guy was Kira they'd be dead."We're really sorry we're late," said Yagami of the NPA, "currently the five of us are-" all of the sudden "Bang."

"What the hell was that?" Said Aizawa."If I were Kira you'd be dead by now, and I thought there were only five of you." L said "There are." Soichiro said I finally snapped and I could nearly feel the steam coming from my ears. After working with someone as smart as Kiome-san for the past hour or so, these guys were really idiots and she was only 16.

"Turn around and notice me for once. Geez, are all men that blind to women who follow them into a hotel room?" I said with annoyance. They turned around and stared at me for a moment before clearing a path through their midst. "Do I know you?" asked L "You should. We've worked together before" I replied and set the laptop on the coffee table. I snapped open the computer and the screen was instantly filled with the outline of the letter S, and the room was filled with a computerized voice."Finally, I was getting bored at the other end of this thing Akira. What took you so long?"

"I had difficulty being noticed," I said with a half smile "Good, that was the idea. I take it the raccoon was the first to notice you?" Did she really just call L a raccoon? She sounded like a teenage boy who had no idea what an insult was."Yes." I said trying not to laugh "Good, pleasure to meet those who are on the Kira task force and L. I am Seigi."

*Seigi- Justice

Hey guys sorry for the long wait I finally got myself a beta,Aria81, and she advised me to take down all chapters from 4 to 14 so she can review them. I'll try to update more, but as of right now I'm in college studying intensely, but I will make for this. Let's hope I can do it right this time with my new beta's help.
