Part Ten-
Death and Continuity
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse, a soul to dig the hole much deeper and I have no concept of time other than flying, if only I could kill the killer-- You learn
Two pairs of eyes, brown and black, widen nearly simultaniously.
"What do you mean, there is nothing to expel?" Said Light, incredulously. "Kira is inside of me!"
Jastin shakes his head slowly. "Light Yagami, there is no other entity inside of you. I am positive. I make no mistakes. Kira is not there."
Light glances at Ryuk who shrugs. "Jastin hasn't ever been wrong before about stuff and he doesn't lie, he'd have no reason to."
"But that leaves the question..." L mused, a finger at his lip. "Where is Kira now?"
"He's...escaped?" Light asked to no one in particular, though he already knew the answer. He closes his eyes briefly. "Oh god, I never even thought...I mean, he...I didn't think he'd be able to do something like that." His eyes pop back open, turning to look at his lover with a look of near desperation. "What do we do?"
He looked so young and vulnerable, one of the few times that he ever did. Lawliet reaches forward and embraces him, leaning his head in close.
"We will find him, Light-kun." He assures his lover. His head moves up to look at the quiet Shinigami, Ryuk silent to keep chuckles in and Jastin silent for whatever reason that was his own. "Jastin-san. Do you know of a way that we can find Kira before he strikes and kills somebody?"
Jastin takes a couple of heavy steps forward, his jewel encrusted body glittering. "I believe so. We will have to move quickly before--"
A sudden beeping on the monitors alerts them all and the main screen flashes on. Lawliet and Light remove themselves from their embrace and hurry over, with the Shinigami following behind them. The detective hits his seat in record time, turning on the audio just as Light sits down.
"Ryuuzaki! Thank goodness we finally got a hold of you!" It was Aizawa and he sounded quite frantic.
"What is it, Aizawa-san? You sound--"
"It's--it's Matsuda. He's dead. Me and Mogi were heading back to headquarters when we seen a crowd. We...found Matsuda on the ground, clutching his chest. It...it had to have been Kira." He sounded very choked up now.
L's gaze locks with Light's and they share a look before turning back to the screen.
"We're going to take care of...of Matsuda, Ryuuzaki," said Mogi suddenly. "We'll get back to HQ as soon as possible."
"Take extra precautionary measures, Mogi-san."
"We will."
The feed ends abruptly.
"We were too late." Said Light. He closes his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose for a moment before opening his eyes to look back at L. "But we can put a stop to Kira once and for all." He turns his gaze to the jeweled Shinigami. "Tell what we need to do, Jastin."
Jastin starts to say something, but stops suddenly, seeming to concentrate on something that only he could see and/or hear, even Ryuk looked bewildered.
"You...wait, Light Yagami. All you must do is wait."
L and Light both look at him with different levels of incredulity.
"Of all the things that could be done, and the fact that Kira wouldn't hesitate to keep killing..." Started L.
"...you're saying we should wait?" Finished Light.
Jastin nods rather fervently at them.
"If your solution is to get rid of Kira, then I suggest you wait...then you may take it from there. You will know when to act."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He curses as he sees the idiotic policemen Aizawa and Mogi run over to their precious friend, but he couldn't let himself dwell on it. He had bigger things to do. He had to take care of his moves now or else he might be discovered before the right time. Well actually... He felt something off, but could not pinpoint what it was. It was slightly distracting, but he would not let it deter him. And he also could still use Amane's body.
In fact...why put off Light and Lawliet's deaths any longer? The longer he waited, they might have a slight chance of winning and he couldn't let there be even a half of a percentage of them possibly winning. Things had to be done.
Right now.
He schools his face into one of pure anguish and runs over to where Aizawa and Mogi were kneeling by the idiot Matsuda, whose eyes were still open and wide, clutching his chest pathetically. He had more power, but if he wanted to do what was needed...he would need more. He would have to think carefully...
"Oh no! Oh my god! No! What?!" He shrieked in Misa's voice hysterically, running over. "What happened to Matsu?! Misa was...Misa was just coming to see Light! What happened to Matsu?!"
He gets grabbed by Mogi and he beats on the policeman's chest, tears falling down his face, playing the part for all it was worth.
"Calm down, Amane-san. It...it was Kira--"
"Mogi!"
"She would have found out eventually, Aizawa. She deserved the right to know that Kira was still out there doing this, especially after all we put her and Light through." Mogi said quietly.
Mogi then? Or Aizawa? Maybe both...?
He breaks away from Mogi dramatically and kneels down and hugs Matsuda, sobbing against his chest. While the policeman's body was dead, it was still warm enough, which meant energy, and the soul had yet to depart to Mu. He could use that. He would use Matsuda's soul to fuel him--this was one soul which he could take and would not be stopped, as the man was dead and could not stop it.
First things first...
He waits for the moment he knew would come, and it does; Aizawa and Mogi, unable to take 'Misa' crying, they both kneel down next to her and the moment they both do, he reaches out and grabs at their hands, pushing his energy hard into their bodies. They barely have a moment to gasp before they get paralyzed. He moves his hands from the now paralyzed policeman and lets out a breath. That took a toll out of him, though he was lucky in that he would get more than enough energy soon.
He pauses for a time before reaching out and grabbing onto the dead body on the ground. He closes his eyes, concentrating, and gasps when the soul bursts and all of the remaining energy from the body itself, along with the immense energy from the soul, comes pouring into him. He shudders as it moves through him; the energy so intense that he cries out from it, more intense than any human orgasm could ever obtain.
He sits back on a leg for a long moment, letting out a shaky breath and letting himself get used to the energy that was flowing through his borrowed body. When it finally settles in his body, he turns to look at the frozen detectives. He ponders which to take for what he needed, and which one to discard. From the way their personalities lay...
He stands up, wiping his hands down and looks into Mogi's eyes. A Death Note and pen materializes in his small borrowed hands and he writes down the man's name down quickly, letting the Note and pen dematerialize and snaps his fingers. The man gasps and blinks rapidly for a moment.
"Amane-san? What happened? What--" he looks at Aizawa who was still frozen and his eyes widen, turning to look back at 'Misa' who was grinning a sadistic smile.
"You--!" He stops and lets out a gasp, clutching his chest and collapsing to the ground. Kira's smirk widens and he grabs at Mogi's body, sucking up the energy from him as well, glad that the realization had suddenly appeared in his mind that he could take the energy. He then turns to the still frozen Aizawa and grabs onto his shoulder, closing his eyes and concentrating.
He lets go and stands up, with Aizawa doing the same. They lock gazes.
"Are you ready to go and kill Light and L, Kira?"
Aizawa blinks slowly, a wide grin coming onto his face.
"Of course, Kira."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N: Hee hee. This is coming together. Of course people probably are wondering like WTF? Lol but you'll just have to wait and read won't you? :D Jastin is pretty cool, I think, lol. I'm not completely sure just how much power Jastin has that he can use in the canon, although he IS directly after Nu in terms of Shinigami rank and Nu is second only to the Shinigami King, so I imagine that Jastin has a lot that he can do...and know. So I don't think it so farfetched for him to be able to know a few things that others would not. :P Let's just see what comes in the next chapter, shall we? (Though I, of course, already know, lol)
I hope you enjoyed this!
Let me know what you thought!
