Another Detective
Chapter 8
Dear diary,
I started writing this diary in case I ever lose my memories of being Kira and need to remind myself without regaining possession of the Death Note. Today was exceptionally vital in my work as the new god of this contaminated world.
I attempted to meet the second Kira, who was never found at the first location they listed. It did not make sense to me that this occurred but it may be possible the shopping district was the original meeting choice for the fake Kira.
At 12:00p.m. I arrived and walked around aimlessly for over two hours. Not to compose this to seem like a journal of a young schoolgirl, but, then I met a guy. He looked so perfect that out of the two of us I thought he would be Kira rather than I.
I approached him and the two friends he was with; after all, I doubted the fake Kira was present.
When I greeted him he seemed to be staring at my face with astonishment. Was I unsightly? I doubted that, compared to his older and far stranger looking friends. A thought occurred to me; didn't Ryuk say that someone with the eyes, like second Kira, would be able to perceive that I don't have a life span under my name?
This person might, just might be the fake Kira. This thought trilled me, the idea of being worshiped and followed by someone so godlike. Thinking of the brunette that I was speaking to as helping me eradicate the grime of the world made me smile, which was something I didn't do often.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed his hunched friend glaring at me. This disturbed me greatly; it was almost like all three were examining me for some sort of vital information. I decided to provide them with my name and they returned the favor but I could tell theirs' were aliases. Why would they give such? I would soon find out.
After walking for another half hour, I noticed that the two friends of the brunette were by themselves, had the he slipped away?
Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me. If I was not a god I would have jumped or felt panic.
"Mikami Teru", said the voice in a cheery manner that sent shivers down my spine, "or should I say Kira."
Before I could respond he started to speak again.
"I have no proof but I will find it" the voice said. Before I could respond a hand reached over my eyes and then, once I was blinded by the hand, speaker shoved a hand against my chest. I was pushed back wards and I fell into a bush that had been used to decorate the inside of the shopping area.
The perpetrator had left by the time I got off and left only one reminder of their presence. On my shirt was a huge smiley face sticker. At first I thought it was a joke but realized this was not. Smile, the detective Smile, had placed the sticker and knew of my existence as Kira.
After these occurrences, I returned home and wrote several names in the Death Note.
DELETE XOXO
Raito laughed as he found that L and Matsuda were hysterically searching for him. It had been fun to watch the terror in Kira's face when he knew he had been caught! Raito needed to call Beyond soon and tell him to arrest Mikami.
"Light-kun!" Matsuda cried out when Raito came into vision and L, just glanced over and calculated Kira percentiles.
"Light-kun the fact that you were gone to the bathroom for such a long expanse of time shows that you may have been the first Kira and contacted the second Kira", Raito said in a mocking way. He was holding his tongue against the roof of his mouth so that the words came out in a squeaky accented way. A sputter of illumination flashed through L's eyes, was he aggravated?
"It only raises your Kira percent when you mock me" L said.
"But don't you think I make a delightful mocking bird?"
"You just lowered the percentage."
"I would have never guessed" Raito said sardonically.
"You don't have to make conjectures, I just told you."
"That was sarcasm."
"Sorry I am relatively new to speaking the Japanese language so it is hard to understand sarcasm in the language."
"That's not-" Raito stopped himself and cursed mentally. He was about to say, 'you told me you learned it when you were ten, so you've know it fifteen years' but that would have given away his identity. "That's not a valid reason".
"What ever you want to think Light-kun."
Letting a smile form on his face, Raito walked over to a booth that held souvenirs for those visiting the area to 'Kira watch'. People from many nations had heard of the supernatural killings and headed over in an attempt to catch the murderer themselves.
The items at the booth amused Raito. There was a giant plushy version of a smile, a letter L, and a throne like plushy that said 'Kira'. Other items included candies, shirts, postcards, and personal copies of the broadcasts between Smile, L and Kira. Raito laughed as something caught his attention, a fan girl lollipop for Smile.
The lollipop was blue and had the words written on the back in English, 'I love Smile'. Raito bought it and turned to see Matsuda and L eyeing other items in the booth. "L I bought you this lollipop. I am not familiar with the English word between Smile and I but I was sure you would like the sugar."
Quickly turning away from Raito, L tried to hide his face. He could not show emotions in front of Kira but he felt like laughing at the situation. The person that he fantasized as being Smile was handing him a candy for his fantasy-self. L was sure that Raito knew what the word love in English was, just as Raito knew that L knew Japanese well.
L was exasperated, irritated at the situation. He anticipated this situation as a chance to get the pseudonym at the other side of his texts out of his mind and a chance to make Raito confess to being Kira but it was not effective.
By watching Raito's actions all that L could conclude was that the boy was disrespectful and seemed way too learned at making L act out of character. Around the teen, L actually felt rage and amusement which otherwise would have been hidden from those that saw him.
Every time Raito spoke, it seemed to L, he acted like Smile. It was unnerving and somehow comforting to speak to him. Hearing the way he spoke with such intelligence was better than the felling L got when he ate sweets.
Their trip to the shopping district was over and so was the investigation for the day, blackness had already overtook the sky's gentle blue.
Saying goodbye to L, Raito felt amused. The detective was so annoyed by his presence and looked at him with these loathsome eyes that spoke right out to Raito, 'you are Kira'. Raito wondered what L would think about the truth.
The only problem was not matter how much Raito did or did not want to tell L the truth, he could not. If L learned the truth he would learn everything including the facts about Misa. L would simultaneously conclude that Misa was the second Kira and Raito would be killed, with his family.
Raito was walking outside, going to the office building that held Beyond. He planned on telling him in person the plan to arrest Kira for the time being. Also, Raito needed to inform Beyond on the situation between Raito and the shinigami.
Raito's thoughts were cut short by the sudden presence of a blonde monster that had jumped onto his back in a strange form of a hug. This was not good, Misa could not find out who about Beyond.
"I was coming to see you at your house, why are you heading the opposite direction?"
"I am not heading the opposite direction, Misa" Raito noticed that a shadow moved in the distance. L had someone following him, wasn't that great?
"Misa Misa wanted to see her boyfriend so much" this comment made Raito grimace. This stupid girl needed to be in jail, on the way to capital punishment-preferably torture first.
"Misa you can't come see me, I am being followed by the police. Can you give me your number?"
"Finally, give me yours too."
"I can't."
"What! Why?"
"I am being followed by the police it is easy for them to listen to phone calls."
"In that case, you can have one of Misa Misa's phones."
Raito accepted this offer and after a brief conversation tried to make Misa leave. The girl would not go, she wanted to go with him. In a sudden decision, Ratio kissed the blonde and immediately wanted to vomit.
Her lips tasted appalling, her face up close was just hideous. He had kissed a murder, who had the taste of all those she killed on her lips. A murder that had all those peoples blood in her saliva and their tears in her drool. The face of the girl had the faces of terror as heart attacks took the victims lives.
Raito left soon after, hoping that L would be open for texting once he returned home.

It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much the same
'Cause this is just a game
It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me
Lie, beautiful, oh
