"I suspect Light is Kira," State L with his thumb in his mouth.
"What? You can't be serious!" exclaimed Soichiro.
"Chief Yagami, I have video evidence of that makes me suspicious of him." L stated calmly.
"Show me," replied Soichiro.
"Alright, look here."
L showed the video of Light leaving the house very late and returning near the early morning. L wasn't watching the video though, for he had already seen it multiple times. Instead, L studied the Chiefs reaction to his son's suspicious activity. L watched the distress slowly spread over the Chief's face as he realized that his son had a lot of suspicion on him.
"Where is he right now?" L asked, putting his thumb up to his mouth.
"He should be done with school right about now." Soichiro replied, thinking about his son's schedule.
"Okay, could I have his phone number?" L asked, hoping he wasn't overstepping his boundaries.
Soichiro hesitated, but after a moment of thought he told L his son's mobile number. He had a feeling that his son wasn't Kira, but if L wanted to investigate Light, the elder Yagami couldn't resist.
L punched the number in his phone, and held it in his odd way up to his ear.
Light was walking down a road, just finishing his day. He was bored yet again, the entrance exams weren't close enough. Light just wanted to go to university, full of hope that it would be challenging to him.
Light's phone rang, surprising Light. Everyone knew he wasn't going to go out until the exams were over and his parents rarely called him unless it was an emergency. Taking his phone out, he didn't recognize the number on the screen. Despite that, he decided he would answer it.
"Hello?" He asked into the speaker.
"Is this Light Yagami?" A voice asked. It had a slight accent that Light couldn't place.
"Yes..." Light answered after slight hesitation.
"Light, i'm a friend of your fathers. I was wondering if you would like to meet me somewhere to talk about the Kira investigation," The voice on the other side said.
Light paused, why would someone call him and asked. Yes, he wanted to help with the Kira investigation, but he also didn't want to be kidnapped by a stranger who knew his number.
"I find it strange that someone who I don't know is calling me and then suddenly asking to meet somewhere. It's quite suspicious," Light replied.
"Yes I suppose it is, and I guess it may be a far reach to ask you to trust me. I'll be waiting," The stranger said before hanging up.
Light looked at his phone in shock, wondering who this person thought they were. A couple seconds later, he received a text from the odd number with a location. Light was intrigued, but also very cautious. The entire scenario was whacked.
After some debate, Light's curiosity overtook him. He started toward the direction that was on his phone.
Light didn't know what he expected, but he didn't expect this. The stranger was sitting in a booth in the far corner, his legs pulled up to his chin in an odd kind of mock fetal position. In front of his was a piece of half-eaten cake. His hair was a messy forest of black and his eyes was a sea of black with matching bags underneath. He paused, unsure of what to do next.
"Light Yagami?" The stranger asked, fixing his deep eyes on Light.
"Yeah..." Light responded.
"Don't just stand there, sit down." The man motioned at the seat across from him.
Against his better judgement, Light sat down. He didn't know why his heart was pounding in his chest, or why he felt like he was walking on a tightrope.
"Light Yagami, I will tell you who I am if you promise not to tell a soul." The man said, the cake on the table forgotten about. Light was the new object of interest.
Why did Light feel like he was being tested. It was a simple statement he had to make, so why was he pondering what to say.
"I won't tell anyone." Light tried not to cringe at how smug he sounded. This was going great.
"I am L."
Light cocked his head to the side. Was that supposed to mean much to him? Light had heard rumors that L was the greatest detective in the world. Rumors that L was focusing on the Kira case right now. Light disliked rumors, for they were seldom true. But if this was L, the real great detective, what did he have to feel nervous about.
"As in the great detective L?" Light asked.
"Yes, not many people know about me though. I'm quite surprised to say the least, Light Yagami." L seemed to be eyeing him in suspicion. Why?
Light shrugged. "I've just heard rumors, I never put any faith in them. But if you are indeed L, why talk to me."
"Well for starters," L took notice of his cake again, playing with it using his fork, "you are one of my suspects for Kira." L ignored Light's shocked facial expression and continued, "Also, I have been told you are the top student of Japan. Your father told me how you have helped the Japanese Police solve cases in the future. I figured that you could be a valuable asset our team on trying to catch Kira."
"Wait.. you're accusing me of being a murderer and asking for my help?" Light exclaimed, confused at what this strange man- L - was going on about.
L looked up thoughtfully. "Yes, I suppose I am."
"Lucifer, what is the meaning of this?" Asked Abaddon, the demon of sloth, out of frustration.
Lucifer had called a gathering. Belzebub, the demon of envy, Sathanus, the demon of wrath, Mammon, the demon of greed, and Asmodeus, the demon of lust, in addition to Abaddon, had showed up. Belphegor, demon of gluttony, was not summoned nor would he show up. Neither was Abaddon, but they show up wherever they want.
"Go away Abaddon, you're not needed." State Lucifer, dismissing Abaddon with a move of his hand.
Abaddon released a frustrated sigh, before disappearing into a mist.
"Yes, Lucifer, why have you called us here?" Inquired Asmodeus.
"And while you're at it, tell us why you decided to include us now, instead of when you first came here," piped up Sathanus.
"As you all know, the human world is not like it used to be. Murders are easier to find with today's technology and people don't get as scared as they used to. Chaos is harder to cause. I summoned you all here to ask for your help-"
"Oh and what could the great Lucifer need help with?" sneered Belzebub.
Lucifer laughed, "Things are about to get interesting from here on out. I need you to get vessels and start murdering people, to throw this great detective for a loop."
"Yes we've been watching, the great 'L' is it? Why, don't you just kill him instead of sending us to play around? Not that i'm complaining," remarked Asmodeus.
Lucifer hesitated before saying, "Well you see, I can't. It seems Light doesn't want this man to die, therefore I am limited to killing him."
Mammon, who had been listening until now, laughed. "Well isn't this getting interesting. Most people by now would have lost themselves to you by now, looks like you picked a fiery one Luce."
"Yes, Mammon brings up a good point," interrupted Asmodeus practically purring, "this Light human has quite the resistance to you."
"Don't worry about it, I can feel him starting to slip. Unless he can completely reject me, which is unlikely since he doesn't know i'm here, I'll soon own Light Yagami. Patience is all." Lucifer was getting fed up, the seven of them don't communicate much and there was a reason for that. Especially why Belphegor was not notified they were having a get together.
"So, let me get this straight, you want us to go into the human world and cause a bunch of trouble so that you have more time to get Light for yourself?" questioned Sathanus. He seemed quite bored and just wanted to get to the killing humans bit. Sathanus never had any reason to come to the human realm, but when he did there was always chaos.
"Pretty much."
Three of them looked at each other, while Sathanus looked content.
"Sure. why not," remarked Mammon.
"I guess I have nothing better to do," replied Belzlebub.
Asmodeus hesitated for a moment. She didn't really get involved with the human realm ever, she just existed. But her existence was quite boring from time to time. "Fine."
"All right, here's the plan." Lucifer beckoned for the other four demons to follow him.
So I split it because I wasn't completely finished and wanted to upload something today. Now the other demons arrive! So yeah, hope it was okay. Thank you everyone who has reviewed! I get so happy when I see the review number go up :D. Anyway, reviews are greatly appreciated. Next chapter should be up Sunday. Thanks for reading!
