I do not own Death Note

Chapter five: Lost and found


Two days later, with Light, third person POV

Where is she? She's been out 'shopping' for two days now. I didn't give her that much money... Unless L had something to do with it. He could have taken her... Getting information out of her will be useless, she knows nothing about me. Light thought sitting on his bed.

"Light you look annoyed. It's because of Katana isn't it?" Ryuk said leaning at the opposite wall from where Light was sitting.

"I'm sure she's fine. She's not easy to kidnap trust me." Ryuk teased.

Light stayed silent. Then blurted out saying "I'm being cooped up in there too long, better get some fresh air."

"You're gonna go look for her aren't you?" Ryuk said with a sheepish smile

Light walked out of his room silently ignoring what Ryuk said and went downstairs. On the way out Sayu stopped him

"Light?" She asked kind of down

"Yeah?" He asked casually

"Have you heard anything from Katana? I really wanna see her" She said looking up at him

"No I haven't heard anything from her since the last time we've seen herher" Light said

"Oh. If you do hear anything from her can you ask her to come over?" She said hopefully

"Sure" Light said with a smirk

"Yay! Thanks Light" She said hugging his waist

"You're welcome." Light said amused. Sayu broke away from the hug

Light exited yelling out "Bye mom, Bye Sayu! Be back soon!"

"Bye!" they both yelled out after him

He shut the door and was followed by Ryuk

"Where are we gonna go first?" Ryuk asked hovering over Light's head

Light stayed silent until the house was out of sight

"I wanna check in town first where there are a lot of shops around there and she might still be there since they don't close at night. I'm also thinking that L might have taken her to get information out of her since she's suspicious to him" Light said with his head down

"Okay" Ryuk said emotionles


Meanwhile with Katana

Katana woke up still in the convenience store with a manga on her lap. Still dazed she looked around her. She had two big piles of manga next to her. She suddenly felt a craving for wood.

"Goodmorning dear, I have some tea here for you" the clerk said looking down at Katana

"Thanks miss, but you really didn't have to. I could have made it myself" Katana said with a faint grin

"I did it because I wanted to" she said bending over to give Katana the tea

"Thanks miss" Katana said taking the cup from the clerk' hands

"You already said that silly" she said grinning at Katana

"I know that" Katana said bringing the cup up to her mouth. The clerk started walking away. Katana stopped half way and asked "Um miss?"

Why does she insist on calling me that? She thought with a smile

"Yes dear?" She said turning to face the girl once again.

"Do you have a pencil? I wanna underline some things in the manga I bought." Katana asked

"There are some pencils over there. I think I saw some with characters on them too." she said pointing at the isle next to the fridge. She then went to the counter and drank tea that she had made for herself.

Katana put her tea down and walked to the isle. I wonder if she's gonna charge me for the pencils.There were three kinds of pencils. Plain simple ones, pencils with bears as erasers and pencils with anime characters on them. She picked one of the pencils up (one of the anime ones). I haven't read this manga yet. Katana thought looking at the characters.

"Wich manga are these from?" Katana asked holding up the pencil

"I think it's clannad. Let me guess you're gonna insist on buying the pencils and the manga"

"Yup" Katana said with a wide smile

"Well I won't let you. I'll take care of it" she said with a no nonsense tone

Katana looked sheepish "But I'd feel bad for being a freeloader" she tried to reason

"Nonsense, you've actually been helping me gain more profit by recommending those manga to others and playing that flute of yours." the clerk pointed out with a smile

Katana blushed a bit looking down, feeling appreciated made her embarrassed "B-but you're l-letting me s-stay here for free..."

"I wouldn't let a girl like you homeless by yourself, god knows what might happen to you. And don't tell me something like 'Kira won't let that happen', Kira isn't the solution to everything. Even with him the world is still..." the clerk trailed off with a sad frown

Katana blinked Isn't Kira entertaining? She questioned in her head as she frowned "Personally I don't care about Kira or anything like that." she stated aloud ignoring the clerk's surprised look "Bad or good, I don't care as long as this 'Kira' doesn't try anything funny."

The clerk frowned in disapproval "Dear, is that really how you feel? What if someone you know gets killed by Kira? Only then when it's too late will you see Kira for what he or she truly is?"

Katana just smiled "I have no one that Kira can take away from me"

The clerk now had pitying eyes on Katana but she was stubborn "There has to be someone you're close to"

Katana merely shook her head, "What's the point? In the end everyone stabs you in the back at one point or another" the way she spoke made the clerk know it was from experience

"Not everyone is like that." the clerk tried again "Have some hope."

Katana snorted "Hope? I've lost all hope humanity"

"Please don't ever say you've lost hope for humanity!" the clerk exclaimed as if that thought itself broke her heart

Now Katana was a neutral girl, she mostly just did what she was supposed to without thinking of her or anyone else's feelings. That basically came with the job of being a henko no kagami, but this time having a mere human trying to convince her to have hope made her a bit off balance. Should she laugh or take this seriously?

"Why do you care miss?" she asked in confusion

"Why shouldn't I?" the clerk shot back

"Because humans only think of themselves doing whatever it takes to benefit themselves" Katana recited

"Then those aren't humans!" the clerk yelled

Katana was about to open her mouth to answer but Light came in with Ryuk floating close behind him

"Hey. What are you doing here? Why didn't you come back?" Light asked standing at the entrance

"I didn't wanna intrude on you and your family. I know you guys wanna help but the fact is I'm homeless. I couldn't live off of you guys so I decided to come here instead and live using my own money." Katana said with a grin hoping Light would play along

"You know you can come anytime you want right? We really don't mind you staying with us. besides It'l give you a chance to sort things out financially." Light said playing along much to Katana's delight Maybe he's not so bad. Katana thought

"I c-couldn't possibly.."Katana said trailing off trying to put on her best show

"Who is this dear?" the clerk asked confused

"This is Light Yagami, Light this is miss Okita she's been letting me stay here and read manga for the last two days."Katana said cheerfully

"Nice to meet you miss Okita" Light said looking at miss Okita

"Nice to meet you too dear. Katana why didnt you tell me you had such handsome friends?"Miss Okita said with a sheepish smile

Katana rolled her eyes with a smile

"Come on Katana" Light said grabbing Katana's hand. Katana hadn't realized that he came in and was now standing infront of her.

Katana froze, then blinked.

"Go on" Miss Okita said reasuringly

"B-but.. Fine lets go" Katana said disapointed

"But i'm paying for everything I used" Katana added looking at miss Okita directly

"Fine by me but since you didn't use the pencils or the manga books their my gift" miss Okita pointed out with e smirk

"Hmm" Katana said narrowing her eyes at the presistent lady

"Fine" Katana added stretching her arms

"I'll get some bags for you. How many pencils did you want?" miss Okita said ducking behind the counter to get the bags

"I wanted to get five of each but since you're paying for my library I want two of each" Katana answered

"Okay"miss Okita said plainly. Of course she had something else in mind

Light merely blinked at the scene. miss Okita rose up with the bags and walked towards Katana

"Here you go" miss Okita said handing Katana two bags

"Thanks miss" Katana said taking the bags from miss Okita's hands and filling them with her manga

"You're very welcome dear" she said grining at Katana

Katana filled both bags with manga, ice cream and anything else she felt she might get cravings for later on. While Katana wasn't looking miss Okita took some more pencils and put them in her apron.

"Are you ready to go dear?" she asked

"Yup, just gotta get those pencils" Katana answered looking up from her bags

Katana walked a short distance to the pencil rack and got the promised amount from it. She put them in her bags.

"I've got to take note of everything you've got so I can pay them all so could you please set them on the counter dear?"miss Okita asked

"Sure" Katana said walking to the counter followed by miss Okita and Light. miss Okita now stood behind the counter

"Here they are" Katana said almost dropping the heavy bags on the counter. miss Okita put the bags on her lap and slipped the pencils in without Katana noticing "Okay let's see...One..Three..Thirteen..Two..Six.." she counted softly while taking notes in a tiny flip-book

"Done." she stated putting the bags back on the counter. She stood up and walked around the counter and said "Be back soon Katana." while hugging Katana. "Make sure you get him" she whispered in Katana's ear with a smirk. Katana whispered back "As if" with a happy smirk. They released from the hug.

"What?" Light asked confused

"Oh nothing dear, don't worry about it" miss Okita said avoiding the question

"Uh okay" Light said obviously still confused

"Bye miss! I'll definitely be back!" Katana said walking out followed by Light and Ryuk

After closing the door he, Katana and Ryuk walked next to each other all not sharing eye-contact

"Hey Katana" Ryuk said

"Hey Ryuk. Did you have fun babysitting?" Katana asked teasingly

"Hell no. Why did you leave me to watch him alone?" Ryuk asked

"Sorry Ryuk But I just enjoyed myself so much." Katana answered with a sheepish smile

suddenly Light asked "Have you been in there all this time?"

"Yup. When I went in two days ago I got hooked on shoujo manga and I couldn't just leave them and come back. I had to finish the manga."Katana answered kind of annoyed he cut off her previous conversation

"Okay. But why did miss Okita let you stay there?" Light asked

"I said I was homeless, and also she because I played my flute I was bringing in more customers to the store" Katana answered uninterested in the conversation

"Mm. Why did you buy pencils?" Light asked looking at one of the bags

"I have cravings." Katana answered simply

"Do you always have them?" Light asked not at all weirded out that she wants to eat pencils

"Yup. They're different every day." she answered not sharing eye-contact with Light

"Oh. That explains a lot" Light said having a eureka moment

Katana sweatdropped inwardly. They arrived at Light's house. Katana was still in her human form. They entered and took off their shoes.

"I'm home!" Light yelled as usual

"I'm here too!" Katana yelled hoping to annoy Light putting down her heavy bags next to her boots

"Who is it Light?" Sayu asked aloud from the living room

"Katana" Light said simply

"Katana!" Sayu yelled almost jumping. Sayu ran to Katana as fast as those little legs could take her and glomped her. Light ignored the situation and walked up to his room

"Hi Sayu! Did you really miss me that much?" Katana asked getting over the shock

"Of course I did! Where were you?" Sayu asked looking up at Katana still hugging her waist

"Sayu!" Sachiko said embarrassed

"I was shopping at the convenience store" Katana said petting Sayu lightly on her head

"Oh... What else did you do?" Sayu asked releasing from the hug

"Nothing. I was literally there for two days" Katana said

"What? Why?" Sayu asked confused

"Well you see when I walked in I started wandering around and I found some manga and I just kept reading it till Light came" she explained

"Wow, why did they let you stay?" Sayu asked signaling Katana to follow her

"Because I told the lady I was homeless" She said with her little angel look following Sayu

Sayu giggled as they arrived in the livingroom

"So what have you been doing Sayu?" She asked sitting down on the couch. Sayu sat next to her

"Mostly watching TV" Sayu said motioning at the TV

"Oh" She said

"Do you wanna go to the mall with me?" Sayu asked

"What's a mall?" She asked tilting her head to the side

Sayu laughed

"Its a big place where you can buy all kinds of things from tons of shops" Sayu answered.

"Humans are awesome!" She said in awe not at all aware that it was an unusual reference

"Uh.. Yeah I guess so" Sayu said thinking Humans..?

"You've never been to a mall have you?" Sayu asked

"Nope" She answered shaking her head

"I guess we'll just have to fix that won't we?" Sayu said with a grin

Katana nodded not knowing how else to react to that expression

"When can we go?"she asked

"We could go now if you want to. I'm already done with my homework" Sayu answered gliding her right foot on the floor

"Great! Is your mom coming too?" she asked with a grin

"I dont know.. Mom?" Sayu said looking over at her mom in the kitchen whom was cleaning the counter and washing the dishes

"Yes Sayu?" Sachiko asked in her usual manner

"Katana wants to know if you wanna go to the mall with us" Sayu said

"I'm your mom so I have to be there since your father is still working. Sachiko said cautious. She's still too young to be left alone with Katana as much as I like her I can't take any chances. Sachiko thought

"Uh, okay" Sayu said rolling her eyes playfully

"When are you two going?" Sachiko asked

Sayu looked at Katana awaiting her to answer. What's happening why is she looking at me like that? Katana thought

"Well..?" Sayu said nudging her. Oh I think she wants me to say when. Katana thought

"We were thinking today is that okay?" She said with a sheepish smile

"Okay that's fine. I'll have to call your father and tell him" Sachiko answered going deep in thought. Though that would probably be useless since he's working around the clock these days. But he still needs to know.. Sachik thought

"Yay! Then it's settled. We're going to the mall!" Sayu said with her fist in the air so loud that Katana was startled.

"Sayu!" Sachiko said embarrassed by how loud Sayu was being
