Chapter 17 Chapter 17

1st I said I wouldn't be participating in club activities during golden week but my friend called and invited me anyway.

4th I went to Saitama Super Arena with a friend to see the Morning Musume concert.

5th It was the last day of vacation but I just sat around the house being lazy.

7th School has started but I just borrowed my friend's notes and skipped class.

10th My friend invited me to go drinking but I declined. Yokohama is too far.

13th My friend's cat threw up on me! Ew!

16th I forgot to do my report so I copied it off my friend.

19th I have a new friend! Her name is in Chinese! SO weird!

22nd My friend and I showed off our notebooks in Aoyama.

23rd I ran into him in the cafeteria. He was eating pork curry rice. My heart skipped a jump.

24th I met a friend in Shibuya. We bought some clothes to wear this summer.

28th I heard they're coming out with something better then the PS2 called the PSX. Wow!

30th We confirmed our Shinigami at the Giants game at the Tokyo Dome.

Kat looked over Lawliet's shoulder as she read it, trying to search her mind for anything that might be significant to this note. She had a feeling that the blatant "we confirmed out Shinigami at the Giants Game" was a fluke meant for anyone suspicious. So that must have meant that the rest of the note was in code as well. A frown made its way to her lips as Lawliet suddenly got up and handed the note over to Light, whom had just walked in.

Saitama Super Arena, Yokohama, Aoyama, Shibuya and the Tokyo dome…

"The second Kira wants us to show the diary on TV?" Light asked.

"Check the entry for the 30th." Yagami-san told him, he glanced back at the page.

K felt like shaking some sense into everyone, was she the only one whom saw the nice little distraction hiding the bigger picture?! Idiot humans! Her eyes darted towards Light as she sensed him gaining more interest in the note. "What do you think, Light-kun?" She asked.

"Huh? For now... all I can say is that this person is stupid." Raito decided.

"Exactly... wanting us to broadcast this diary is obviously a message to Kira." Matsuda agreed. "Even if it is written as a diary from last year, it's clear they plan to meet with Kira at the Giants game that happens to be on the same day this year." Never had K and Kat felt the need to find something sharp and try to bring sense to people, especially the dense rookie of the task force. (A/N: That line was for you TK101…if you catch my drift)

"Does this mean the person can't even figure out that once we broadcast this, the game will be cancelled...?" Yagami-san asked.

"It'd be a total panic. The media would be screaming that going to the game would get you killed by Kira, and other nonsense." Matsuda agreed, nodding, most likely thinking he sounded knowledgeable for once around the two prodigies.

"Frankly, it seems idiotic but... that also makes it difficult to react to." Lawliet pointed out. "If we broadcast the diary, then we'll also have to announce that the game is cancelled. If we don't broadcast the diary, then the second Kira won't act."

"If the game is cancelled, he may get angry and do who knows what..." Aizawa argued.

"That shouldn't be a problem." Lawliet assured him, "The second Kira seems to revere Kira. Let's assume that he's sworn to the Kira we created not to kill unnecessarily anymore."

Kat's nails dug into her skin as she reached shakily for her milk. Calming thoughts, cannot let K kill anyone. Of course, she might have been exaggerating in her mantra. K would not kill anyone, maim perhaps, but not kill.

"Anyway, for now... lets broadcast the diary and announce the cancellation of the game. And also, that we'll be closing off the streets around the Tokyo Dome and conducting an investigation there. We received so much police cooperation during that Sakura TV incident, I believe we could manage that." He announced. "Then we'll create a reply from the 'real' Kira saying 'understood, let's meet.'"

"You're not thinking they'd come after it's announced there will be police presence around the Tokyo Dome?" Yagami-san asked.

"I don't think Kira will come, but... I'm not sure about the second Kira. I don't know how stupid he is..."

K had had enough. "Really though, am I the only one competent enough to think there is a second message? One meant for Kira? Or has everyone noticed that someone with Kira's powers cannot be so dimwitted as to very obviously point out a meeting point?" She grounded her teeth.

"Though I am sure someone might claim this is a waste of time but, should we not keep an eye on Shibuya and Aoyama?"

"It sounds plausible; we can set the cameras up tomorrow." He gave her a knowing glance; of course he would leave Watari, her and whatever team of miscreants she could get to install cameras into half of Tokyo. "And we should place as many plain clothed police officers on the street."

"We're already announcing that we'll be 'investigating' the Tokyo Dome... I don't think they'll have any problems if we question people, no even if we take fingerprints. If he's so stupid that he plans to come, knowing of the police presence and prepared to kill in order to see Kira, then we'll catch him easily..." Lawliet said.

"'Catch him easily.'...? But there will be victims..." Matsuda complained. CRACK! "Ow."

Turning to K, everyone in the task force noticed the shard scattered around K and the ones on her hand. She had lodged a few sharp objects into her palm and all she could mutter was 'ow?'

"Please excuse me, it simply is just a bit irritating to know how little those supposedly 'wiser in years' know."

In a huff, she rose to her feet, making her way across back to the bedroom. She seemed to be finding herself in their more than usual. Before she got the chance to enter though, a strange beeping noise came from the table.

Naturally, Lawliet got to it first, with K frozen in the doorway.

A moments pause then Lawliet said, "Misa wants to meet you in some place called Aoi Noto," He said plainly, placing her phone back on the table.

K held in a small hiss, being with Misa would certainly put her at ends in no time.

Kat did nothing but nod as she went into the room, waving her non-bloody hand at the task force.

Needless to say that as soon as the door closed, Kat felt winded. She crashed to the floor. The question that Misa had asked her previously running through her head.

"Tomo-chan, how come your name keeps changing? Or is it Kat?"

Giving the air one good punch, she snatched a handkerchief off of the dresser, tying it around her hand tightly.

She was completely sure Misa was Kira. That diary entry was screaming at her. They were all subtle hints at who she really was.

4th I went to Saitama Super Arena with a friend to see the Morning Musume concert: Iida Kaori, the former member of Morning Musume.

13th My friend's cat threw up on me! Ew!: She knew she was Kat.

23rd I ran into him in the cafeteria. He was eating pork curry rice. My heart skipped a jump: heart, Kokoro, she knew her alias.

19th I have a new friend! Her name is in Chinese! SO weird!: Worst of all, she knew her real name. Kew, was Chinese for Loveable.

Muttering curses, K just decided to glare at the ceiling to see if she could burn a hole into it by some chance.

But how does she know all of this? I never left a trail behind myself, never let any other of my personas take hold save for mentally…

…………………

That is it! Somehow, in some way, she was able to see and identify my personas as we argued about! And it fits with the whole "the eyes" phrase in the tapes. She saw my names. But why were they flashing? Ukita had an alias as well so it cannot be that, seeing how he was killed. There are barely any real large factors that separate me from the rest of the victims save that I am not truly a criminal, have declared war along side Lawliet…

-

She shifted in her clothes, not to fond of the ripped up jeans and hoodie combo Misa had told her to wear. Not that she was at all happy with the plain brunette wig, sunglasses and contacts either. Apparently, Misa wanted to go incognito so that they would not be assaulted by avid fans.

The loose strings bothered her; the hoodie drowned her figure but was comfortable. That, and she had stolen Lawliet's torn tennis shoes (a few sizes to big, she noted with a grimace).

The task force was going to come later on, for now, she had asked Watari to drop her off at the "Note Blue" (since she was directionally challenged if it did not directly relate to missions). Lawliet had then said he would accompany them.

The ride their was certainly silent as Kat moodily put her hair in a bun, the bangs swinging into her face and over her large, fly-like sunglasses.

"Wèishénme tā yīdìng shì hěn huāngmiù de…shéi tīngshuō liǎo jiǎzhuāng qù yī gè kāfēi dìfāng?" She asked nobody, looking out the window when she was done. (Why must she be so absurd...who ever heard of disguising yourself to go to a damn coffee place?)

Lawliet gave her a glance upon noticing that they had arrived.

As she climbed out of the car and was ready to close the door, she heard a soft, "Be safe."

"Dun 'orry, I gots the righ' stu' ta do dis," She said, clouding her voice in an accent.

The car drove away and she gave it a forlorn glance before entering the café and spotting Misa at a table, the blur above her. She made her way over to her, a scowl on her face. "'ey, I gots 'ere a'ready."

She adjusted her glasses and nodded, pushing some sort of giant chocolate milkshake towards her. It seemed that it would be an overall boring day.

A good few hours passed when she noticed two familiar figures passed by the café. Slight scratching reached her ears as a constricting feeling hit her chest. Standing, she wobbled a bit, "I-I got to go."

Crimson dribbled down her chin as she took off blindly, letting her instincts lead her to the hotel.

-

Lawliet looked questioningly at the footage, rewinding and pausing it at the part where a blurred figure took off madly form the note blue almost drunkenly.

He had only been able to notice it now, just as gagging and a mess of coughing reached his ears.

A/N: Shorter than usual, I know, but the next spot to stop it at was very far away and I simply had a bout of idleness. Please Review, it encourages me to put these out faster.
