Chapter 23

Moonlight seeped through the window, illuminating me as well as my room as I sat on the windowsill. The whole suite was quiet. Well, besides the faint sound of typing on a keyboard and the clicking of a mouse. I yawned like a kitten. I felt tired but I couldn't sleep, so I found comfort in watching the city at night.

I must have eventually dozed off, because a bright light made me jump up with a startle. I quickly checked the time on my phone, and I just had enough time to get ready and make my way to meet up with Raye Pember.

If he's here, then is Naomi Misora? I wondered on my way to the street Light Yagami lives on. If she is, I wonder if I can somehow kill her; to take my revenge on her for arresting Beyond?

My trail of thoughts were broken whenever I seen the man I was meeting up with. I didn't smile or wave, nor did he. We merely acted as business partners or rivals as I followed him to a bus stop. This is a serious matter after all.

I spotted Light boarding a bus with a girl. That was our cue to follow them. We sat in the very back, while Light and the girl, who I suppose is his girlfriend, sat in the seat in front of us.

I kept a weary gaze on the Kira suspect. From what I could tell, he was acting like a normal teenager out on a date. But the auburn-haired boy stuck a piece of paper in his pocket. Soon after that the bus stopped. A crazy looking and acting guy stepped on. He had a gun, and I realized that I had seen him in some of L's work a few days ago. He had robbed a bank or something like that.

My hand immediately went to the gun holster on my thigh, but Raye gave me a hard stare, and I knew he meant for me to not do anything unless he gave the order. I hissed lowly under my breath as I restrained myself from splattering the guy's brains all over the bus.

Raye leaned forward and whispered to Light. "Don't worry, if anything bad happens I'll take care of it." I snorted in laughter, staring at the both of them.

"You mean, I'll take care of things." I told them.

Raye rolled his eyes at me. Light made a face that said he didn't trust us, and he wasn't sure if he should.

"How do I know that I can trust you?" The teen asked Raye. Raye flashed his ID to Light. When he turned back around in his seat, I could have swore I seen a smirk plastered on his face.

I opened my mouth to say something, but thought better of it. If Light's Kira, you shouldn't have shown him your name, Raye. But it will be interesting to see how he kills you.

Light stuck a piece of paper in his pocket. The crazy guy seen it, and he came to the back of the bus to confront him. He said something about passing notes, but I tuned out my surroundings whenever I felt an eerie presence next to me. All of the sudden, the crazy bus jacker pointed a gun at Raye. My hand immediately went to my own gun, and I fingers inched slowly towards the trigger.

Then the bus jacker screamed and fired wildly. "Get down!" Raye yelled and he shoved me roughly to the floor. I glared up at him.

"Why the hell did you do that for!" I screeched. "He's not even trying to shoot me!"

Raye Pember just ignored me. The bus jacker ran off of the bus, and I sprang up and ran after him. Ignoring Raye's shouts to try and stop me from following, I jumped down the bus-steps. Whenever I spotted my target, he was hit by a car. The squeal of the tires was deafening.

The guy was laying in a puddle of his own blood, and I sighed because I wasn't able to kill him in time. When I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see who it was.

"Don't ever do something reckless like that again. It could have been you that was hit by the car instead of him." Pember said strictly.

"It wouldn't be the first time!" I giggled as I remembered the shocked face of the taxi-driver that hit me months ago.

Raye turned to Light, ignoring me once again.

"Don't tell anyone that we met." Raye said.

"Alright. By the way, who is that?" Light asked, pointing at me for a second. I walked over and stood beside them.

Before Raye could tell him, I said, "It's none of your business." I could tell he was a little startled by my tone of voice. He can't know my real name; I'll have L make me a fake one later.

People started getting off of the bus once the police arrived; and they were questioned.

"Please excuse us," Raye said and walked briskly away, avoiding the cops. I followed him. Once we were far away from the crime scene, he stopped and talked to me.

"You shouldn't be so rude."

"I have to be. He is Kira, and I don't care whether you think he is or not. Therefor, you made a big mistake back there, showing him your ID; one that can cost you your life," I explained to him. "Now if you could excuse me, I'll be on my way."

I left Raye staring after me, and he didn't look pleased at all at what I just told him. Smirking, I went back to the hotel.

I was in for a surprise whenever I did get back to the hotel... I opened the door, finding a group of men talking with L. I sweat-dropped and awkwardly came into the room, ignoring the stares I got from them.

"Hello Lamia-chan," L greeted me. "Where have you been?" He asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you before I left. Ahaha," I laughed nervously, playing with a strand of my hair and staring at the floor.

"Where did you go?" L asked again, but in a demanding tone of voice.

I let my gaze sweep over the people in the room before I answered him. "I had a mission with an acquaintance; nothing to fret over, Ryuzaki-kun."

L put a thumb up to his mouth and stared at me. All of a sudden, a young man jumps to his feet and runs over to me. He has a bubbly aura around him, and he seemed like an okay person.

"Are you Lamia; Misa-Misa's sister?!" He asked me excitedly.

I nodded and looked above his head. Touta Matsuda.

"Matsuda, calm down!" An older-looking man said. His name is Soichiro Yagami.

"Y-Yes chief!" Matsuda said and sat back down in his seat.

This is going to be an odd experience.
