A/N:Viola. The SECOND chapter.
Disclaimer: I donot own Death Note.
'Don't you think that the world's super genius would detect the strangely suspicious similarities of these deaths,' 15 year old Ian asked his friends or rather the people he worked with, while he looked out of the window into the night.
'Of course I thought of it, that is exactly why we are going to make ourselves publicly known,' 20 year old Kay replied smoothly as he crumpled another soda can in his hands and reached for another one.
'What are you as crazy as Al, ' Ian and Rae yelled at their team leader.
'We have discussed this before and both of us didn't agree to this nonsense,' Rae said gesturing towards herself and her brother. 'Why you both seem to like this I don't know, at least Al have a reason, he is CRAZY, but I don't understand you,' Rae said jabbing a finger angrily at Kay.
She had nothing against Kay, he was the most easygoing person she had ever known, but when he started accepting the stupid plans Al had suggested, liking him was out of question. Oh come, on L the greatest detective in the world, the greatest genius in the world was supposed to be intent on finding them, he had publicly announced that, and they are goofing around as though they don't have any worry, Rae thought as she looked at their little group scattered all over Kay's apartment.
'No I am merely going to do, what had to be done,' Kay said with a smile, not noticing the fact that he had been called crazy by his team mates. 'Oh and Rae I want you to help me out here,' Kay said as he moved towards their computer unit, which comprised of several computers all joined together, with an excellent security system, courtesy of Rae.
'You all are insane. Even you Rae,' Ian said as his sister made to move towards Kay to help him with what ever thing he wanted, which would introduce them to the world, ' wasn't our main point not to be noticed by L, weren't we supposed to find and kill him secretly?' Ian said now literally shaking Kay by his collar.
'I would prefer if you would get your dirty hands off me,' Kay said coldly. Although Kay was the leader of the small team but he didn't posses the sort of an imposing personality like most leader did, he had an extremely easy going personality, which made everybody like him naturally but Ian didn't seem to be affected by his easy going nature. He didn't actually hate Kay but he disliked him, sadly Kay seemed to have the exact same notion towards Ian.
' Now as you have worked over your fury I would like all of you to listen to me, the way we are going to announce ourselves publicly i-,' Kay was cut off.
'You are going to send video tapes to some random news channel, for them to broadcast on the television. Or if you are not going to do this then I suggest that you DO this,' Al said his eyes not wavering from the television screen.
'Hm. Yes,' Kay said distractedly. He still hadn't gotten over the fact that Al ( short for Aloo) was a genius with an intellectual level far above the three of them, although he had known Al for at least half his life.
'We are going to send a video message challenging L directly. Because since he had taken it personally upon himself to find us and bring us to justice, so he is in our way to the success of our plan .L doesn't know anything about us and same is the case for us so this battle of wits wouldn't be one sided. Am I clear,' Kay said this as though he was making a speech.
'Yeah we will beat him up with a frying pan when we find him,' Al said holding up a frying pan which seemed to have materialized from nowhere.
' . . . . . '
' . . . . . '
' . . . . . '
'Because that is what I would want if somebody stole my socks,' Al said scratching his head as though he could not understand why his friends had a perplexed look on thier faces.
'I don't even want to know why this came into your mind,' Rae said busying herself with the numerous technologies in front of her.
'Why socks?' however Ian asked his curiosity getting the better of his damp mood.
'Because they can become the smelliest garments in hot weather, which makes them a very deadly weapon. Having your dirty socks stolen from you is as bad as if your gun is stolen,' Al said in a stage whisper to Ian.
'You are simply gross,' Rae said from her perch in front of their computer unit, her fingers furiously typing on the keyboard.
'And yes Kay what type of a background should I keep,' Rae asked turning towards Kay.
'Use a plain white background with K.I.R.A written on it in cloister black font, similar to that of L.'
'Why K.I.R.A?' Ian asked this time, his anger all vanished.
'K for Kay, I for Ian, R for Rae and A for Al and besides in Japanese kira means killer, which describes us perfectly.'
'You are using our alias,' Ian asked.
'Yes, it would be too risky if we use our real names, even though it is just the first letters, and we are going to be known by our real names in places like school and work, so if we accidentally meet somebody who is after us they won't be able to find the connection between the fact that we four are friends and the fact that our names first letter meet up with that of kira, so that is why I am using the first letter of our alias. Also as I am making it sound on the videos that kira is not a single person but more then one person, so I am not taking any chances,' Kay said raking a hand through his bluish black hair.
'Aw man you had to bring school into this. I was pretty much enjoying my summer vacation here,' Ian said, pushing his golden hair out of his face.
'Hyuk hyuk this going to be interesting,' Ryuk said while earning a wary glance from Rae.
Maya woke quite early the next day owing to the fact that Dave was continually pinching her painfully. Having Dave wake up before you is never good, Maya thought as she woke up to try to put Dave to sleep again so she could get more sleep, she was never pleasant if she was woken up at six in the morning. Putting Dave to sleep didn't turn to be difficult , he was just a bit scared at waking up to find himself in a foreign place. But seeing his sister he must have felt contented and he went to sleep. But after he fell asleep sleep seemed very far for Maya.
Her sleepy brain had just registered the fact that she was somewhere else, somewhere other then her house or even the goddamm orphanage. She was in Wammy house, she remembered with a jolt. Remembering this piece of information made her somewhat happy. But still she didn't know why had Wammy seemed so excited about having her here, and what about that L personality, why Wammy wanted her to meet him? Maya thought, then shaked her head as though to rid herself of these thoughts.
She discovered that she couldn't go back to sleep and her stomach was starting to rumble, man the time difference did make your sleeping and eating patterns disorienting, she thought as she got up to change.
At last she decided to pick a long skirt ( she pretty much always wore longish skirts) and a hoodie over her shirt, although it was summer but Maya came from a place where the climate was relatively warm, the summer in England was almost like the winter in her country.
She took her washing her face, brushing her teeth and changing that it was almost seven when she finished. She was not the sort to use any makeup so she was finished a few minutes before seven. I would look like a weirdo roaming the place at six or even seven, she thought as she saw Dave stir in his sleep.
Dave after a few minutes of stirring finally woke up, as he saw his sister he gave her a four teethed smile. Maya smiled in return picking her year and a half brother into her arms to change him for breakfast too.
After changing Dave and taking as much as she could Maya finally stepped outside her room, now at the complete loss at where to head, then the thought of getting lost also hit her, surely nobody would be awake at this time.
After a minute of thinking Maya decided to follow her instincts, her instincts that have never failed her. She started to walk towards the right of the corridor.
Suddenly as she passed a door it suddenly sprang open revealing a read head with orange goggles. He looked as though he had just woken up because of his tousled hair. He stopped dead in is tracks as he saw Maya.
'Um. Hi,' Maya said nervously, she had not thought about the possibility that somebody would be up and about at that time.
' Oh you must be Maya, I didn't know you would be a teenager,' the red head said grinning, then holding out his hand he said,' I am Matt by the way.'
'Word goes around pretty quickly here,' Maya said, giving Matt's hand one firm shake.
' Yes this is a small place with more babbling children then this place could actually hold,' Matt said, then suddenly noticing Dave he said,' I didn't knew that a baby was also coming. May be old man let you bring him, you being the first and all,' Matt muttered the last part but Maya still caught it.
' Uh sorry I didn't quite catch you.'
' No it's nothing and it is also not my place to tell this to you,' Matt said the changing the subject he said,' who is he anyway?'
' He is Dave my little brother,' Maya said affectionately stroking Dave's hair while he tried to hide behind Maya, eyeing Matt curiously.
Matt not knowing what to do offered a hand to Dave too, not expecting any reply from him.
Dave didn't knew how to speak but he was taught how to shake hands when offered. He took Matt's hand and shook it as much as he could.
' You have never met any toddlers,' Maya said at the surprised look on Matt's face.
' No,' Matt said shooting Maya a look at her accurate guess.
' How old are you, seventeen?' Maya asked.
' Yes and you,' Matt shot back peeved by her accurate guesses, guess it sucked to live between geniuses.
' Yeah me too,' Maya said then suddenly remembering her purpose she said,' Um. Matt could you tell us the way to the kitchen?'
' Yeah sure I was going there too,' Matt said then taking out a game console from one of his many pockets, he started marching in the direction opposite to which Maya's instincts had told her to go.
Oh I guess my instincts are not so reliable now, Maya thought as she followed after Matt holding Dave's hand. (her instincts were never right)
