Chapter 2: Meeting A Shinigami and A New Kira
Pov: Third Person's
Mika sits down on her bed, shocked at what she did. While deep in thought, a voice startles her from the thought of what was going to happen next.
"Hello." A cold, bored, sarcastic voice says from beside Mika. She jumps in surprise.
"Who are you?" She demands, not wasting time with formalities.
The figure smirks his red eyes shining, "I'm the shinigami of that death note. I take it you haven't read all the rules I wrote down."
Mika's glare softens a bit, "I haven't read all the rules I just skipped to reading what happens when you write a person's name down."
"Well, I'll take time to explain the rules after I introduce myself. I am Raito Yagami, the shinigami whose note book now belongs to you. There for I also belong to you." Raito says, his red eyes dull a bit.
"I am Mika Lawliet. My father was a detective and I asked him about the Kira case as soon as I found the note book." Mika introduces herself.
Raito smirks, "Well, that saves me trouble explaining that I was the first Kira. Mika?"
"What, Raito?" Mika asks, annoyed.
"You're L's daughter and you have a death note. The irony in that is like how my dad was chief of police and I was Kira."
"Your point?" She asks bored.
"How would you think your dad would feel if I came waltzing down the stairs?"
"How would he see you?" Mika asks about to roll her eyes.
"He, Near, and all of the police force 13 years ago touched a piece of a death note. Therefore he will be able to see me. I think I just might go down stairs and tell L what his princess did." Raito states. Mika's face pales dramatically at that.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Try me." Raito mocks Mika, daring her to accept his hidden challenge.
Mika sighs in defeat, knowing that she can't win this one. "Raito, I'll go down with you and tell my dad. Just please don't make me want to kill you using your own death note."
"Deal, Miss. Lawliet." Raito says sarcastically while rolling his eyes.
"Mika! Time for dinner!" Mika hears her father call from down stairs. She looks to Raito and motions for him to follow her.
Mika slowly opens her bedroom door and heads down the stairs to the kitchen.
"Dad?" Mika asks her voice barely a whisper.
"What is it Mika?"
"I have something to tell you. Well, show being the better way to put it." Mika says.
Suddenly Raito steps out from behind Mika. "Good to see you again, L."
L just stares at Raito in shock, "I thought you were dead. I thought Matsuda finished you. Why are you here?"
"Well L. Your precious princess did something very naughty." Raito says sarcastically.
"Mika. What did you do?" Her father glares at her, worry clearly evident on his face.
Mika takes a shaky breath, "I used the death note. I just couldn't resist the temptation. I only wrote down one name though."
"Who? Who's name was it?"
"Tartu Nagasaki, he killed my best friend and no one even batted an eyelash. I took matters in my own hands."
"Mika, you could have told someone. The police would have done something."
"Yeah right. They wouldn't have done anything. I kind of see why Raito did what he did."
Raito and L look at Mika with mixed expressions.
"Mika, you got it dead on. I used the death note to rid the world of criminals, knowing that the police would have done nothing. I vowed to rid the world of all evil."
"Mika, please don't follow in his path. You are better than that. Please, don't make me have to call the task force together again. Don't make me bring in Near. Please, Mika." L tries to plead with her.
Mika closes her eyes, 'Is it wroth it? What's more important. My dad or purifying the world of sin making it safe for him.' She opens her eyes, "Raito, I will become the new Kira."
L crumples to the ground, "Why Mika? Why?"
"I'm doing this to create a world free of crime, to ensure that you and future generations will be safe."
"You leave me no choice then." L says to Mika while pulling out his cell phone to call Near.
"Dad, would you really mess with the new Kira? Someone whom knows your name and could kill you right now?"
L freezes with his index finger hover over Near's speed dial number. His heart rate accelerates. He couldn't bare the thought of his precious daughter being Kira.
"Dad, at least give me a week. That's all I ask. One week of freedom."
"Alright, Mika. One week is all you get. If the Task Force and Near start to notice anything sooner than that then I'll ask if we can work on the case so Near can confirm the fact that you would be a suspect."
Mika looks at her father startled, "Wait a minute. You think I'll be a suspect. Why?"
L smiles sadly at his daughter, "He'll think any one who was involved and their kids will be suspects. Especially, you."
"Why me?" Mika asks, stunned that her own father would think Near would guess her.
"Because Mika, you are my daughter. That and the fact you inherited my brains makes you a possible suspect to being Kira."
Not bothering to argue with her father's logic, Mika leaves the dinning room to walk up the staircase.
As she climbs the stairs she whispers, "I'm so sorry but, I'm doing this to protect you. Please forgive me." As she reaches the top step a lone tear trails down her cheek. She slowly wipes away the tear, surprised that she was that upset over being Kira.
