Chapter 21

"What do you mean L is letting in people he doesn't even know?!" I asked Beyond.

"He's going to talk to each one of them to see if they are Kira; they're from the Japanese police so it should be okay," Beyond waved a pale hand in front of my face to try and calm me down. "Besides, if anything goes wrong, we'll be here as well as Watari."

"Okay, okay." I sighed in defeat.

I stood up and walked into the living room of the hotel apartment. L was sitting there patiently on an old fashioned, yet stylish chair. He pulled his legs up against his chest, and his feet were bare as usual.

"Do you need Beyond and I to stay here, just in case something goes wrong during your little meeting?" I asked.

L shook his head at me. "Help yourself to the tray of sweets over there." He said, pointing to them.

"No thanks, I'm not hungry for sweets right now," I told him. "When is your meeting by the way?" I asked.

"We haven't even made one yet, but I have predicted that the Japanese police will try and get me involved in the Kira case with them soon."

"Oh," I stretched my arms above my head and yawned. "You should make some sort of broadcast so that Kira will see that you are after him."

"Actually, that was my plan. Watari went to a meeting yesterday, and I spoke to the crowd via my computer," L stared at me for a moment. "Be careful whenever you are out today, and keep a lookout for anyone suspicious."

"How'd you know I was about to leave?" I questioned the black headed teenager.

"You leave around this time everyday." He replied.

"Yeah, whatever. Have fun." I told him and left the hotel.

I sat on a stone bench, eating a strawberry-flavored sucker. Right now was the time that students were let out of school. Teenagers in neat uniforms walked in pairs or in small groups down the sidewalks; but a lone, young man caught my eye. He looked like one of those perfect guys that every girl dreamed of having as a boyfriend, except me of course. I have no interest in having those kind of experiences.

Anyways, the thing I noticed was that there were no numbers floating below his name. And, I had an eerie feeling that he was being followed by something. People that passed by Light Yagami didn't seem to notice anything wrong with him, but I did. They apparently missed the evil glint in his soft brown eyes, making them look as if they glowed red in the evening light.

How should I approach him, or should I stay away from him for now? I guess I'll follow him for the time being. I stood from my seat on the cold bench, and followed Light from a safe distance. I wound up following him to where he lived, which was a house similar to my own, or Misa's. Light walked inside the home and closed the front door behind him. I sighed, and walked back towards the more busy parts of Tokyo.

On a large screen in a plaza, L's symbol popped up on the screen, as well as all over televisions in the area. I thought I was seeing things at first, but whenever people started muttering things about Kira, I thought otherwise. A man sitting at a desk appeared, and he posed as L. I smirked to myself whenever Lind L. Tailor clutched his chest in pain and died of a heart attack.

So this is what you meant by a broadcast, huh L? I hate to admit it, but good thinking. The screens blurred and then L's symbol came up again. His fake voice that was altered started talking.

"Kill him Kira!" Some man in the crowd started as L ranted on for Kira to kill him.

I swiftly glanced over at the Kira-worshippers. I made a mental note of the group's names. "You will be punished for wanting L to die." I hissed quietly under my breath, not caring if anyone heard me.

I hurried away from the crowd that had gathered and made my way back to the hotel to get B. Beyond and I are going to have some fun.

"Come on BB, we have to hurry while I can still track them." I told my red-eyed companion.

"Wait," he said, grabbing me by the shoulder and spinning me around before I exited his room. "We should take Watari's weapons." He suggested.

My eye widened in thought. "Of course, it'll be more fun if we take them out from a distance with the sniper rifle!" I grinned and walked to where Watari's room is.

"Keep a lookout for L and him while I grab the sniper." I commanded as I snuck into the room.

The item we were after was sitting on a rack above the bed. I picked it up carefully and grabbed the cartridges on the nightstand, then went back to Beyond.

I handed the gun and it's bullets to him, and we left the hotel room unnoticed as usual. I left a note for L that said Beyond and I were going out for dinner; which wasn't entirely a lie.

"We'll be in trouble once we come back; he's not going to believe the note." Beyond commented as we made our way to where the Kira-worshippers were.

"Ah, who cares. I've been in worse trouble before." I replied back.

"There they are." I growled to Beyond, pointing at the man that wanted Kira to kill L.

"I'll go and get into a good position to shoot. I need to get the hell out of here anyways, before someone makes a commotion about the sniper rifle strapped on my back." B said and ran off somewhere. I snorted and walked over to the middle-aged man and the small group of people with him.

"So, you guys like Kira?" I asked them, trying to strike up a conversation.

"Yes!" A woman said with a smile.

"He's our god." Another person said happily. I bit back a hiss of anger.

"Who's side are you on, Miss?" The man I was about to kill asked me.

I acted like I was thinking for a moment. "Well...er, Kira kills criminals, which is a good thing, but in all honesty, I think that L is true justice." I told them.

They gasped and stared at me, horrified at what I just said.

"You...You filthy bitch!" One yelled at me.

"You three are hilarious," I giggled and glared at them. "A bitch is a dog, a dog barks, bark is on trees, trees are in nature, and nature is beautiful. So yeah, thanks for the compliment, Yui." I smirked at the woman.

Her brown eyes widened. "You smart-ass!" She just can't stop yelling at me.

"I am smart, thank you very much." I told Yui with a smirk. I'm enjoying these people for now. It's fun pissing them off.

Whenever Yui raised a hand to slap me, a loud bang echoed through the plaza. Yui fell over, blood splattering on her friends as she fell limp to the ground. They were both horrified at the sight, and dropped to their knees, begging Kira for forgiveness.

"Kira won't help pitiful people like you." I hissed and drew my ninjato. People screamed and ran away. "Kira is only interested in killing people, so why don't I send you to hell for wanting L to die?"

They looked up at me. "L will not die as long as I'm around," I hissed. "I will cleanse this world of Kira-worshippers, and ultimately kill Kira myself one day. Join your friend in wherever she went." I spat, slicing cleanly across the man's neck.

The other woman was also shot by Beyond a few moments later. I could hear sirens in the distance, so I quickly put away my weapon and ran to where Beyond was waiting in an alley-way.
