Chapter 30
Vehicles zoomed past me as I stood on the side of the road. I was on my way to Misa's; she said she wanted to tell me something important. Of course L or anyone else does not know about this secret meeting with Misa; and hopefully they never will.
"Lamia-chan!" Misa squealed and hugged me when she opened the door. "Come in, come in."
"What is it, Misa?" I ask after I sit down on the couch with her. But she was silent, for once.
"Misa, you can trust me." I told her.
Misa's frail hands held up a black notebook with the words 'Death Note' written on the top. My one eye widened and I pointed at it. "What the hell is that? Some sort of prank?" I asked.
Misa shook her pretty little blonde head. "Nope. I am the second Kira."
"Oh. I have not seen three people's lifespans, including yours, and I know one of those three people is not Kira. You and another guy are both Kira, and I'm assuming you use that notebook to kill?"
"Yup!" She said happily. "Wait, how can you see lifespans of people? You have the eyes, don't you?"
"Of course. Unlike you, I was born with them." I wasn't shocked by the fact Misa is the other Kira. Ryuk talked to me a bit about the shinigami eyes and such. "So, where's your shinigami?" I asked, looking around her curiously.
"You have to touch the Death Note to be able to see her; and how do you know so much, and why aren't you scared?" Misa asked quickly.
"Why would I be? After all of the things I have seen in my lifetime, I'm not bugged by that notebook at all. Also, I have met first Kira's shinigami. So I know who he is, but I won't tell on him unless he harms people that I care about." I said and her eyes lit up.
"Who is the first Kira?!"
"Uh-uh. There's no way I'm telling anyone who it is," I smirked at her pouty face and continued. "But..."
"But?"
"But I have an idea to help you find out who he is."
"Alright! I'll do anything!"
Plan to eliminate Kira:
Step 1: look through L's list of suspects, confirm which one is Kira by looking to see if I can see their lifespan (complete)
Step 2: get close to Light Yagami enough so he will trust me (in process)
Step 3: find the other Kira, since according to L, he believes there are two of them (complete)
Step 4: help create a situation so that the two Kira's will eventually meet, making it easier for me to eliminate them (in process)
The first few parts of my plan is almost complete. These tapes that I helped Misa make will be sent to Sakura TV from Osaka. I can't wait to see the results of my work. And best thing of all, Misa doesn't suspect a thing from me.
A few days later, Soichiro Yagami had a heart attack after school. L had called me when he and Light was at a coffee shop. L thought it might have been Kira at first, but it wasn't. It was due to the stress of work. I didn't plan on visiting him, but I probably will later...
"Regarding Naomi Misora's disappearance, shouldn't we open a case for this matter?" One of the Task Force members asked L.
"If we do, it should be done separate from the Kira case." He answered, then took a sip of tea. "Also, we would have to use sketches instead of police photos."
"We're talking about someone that has been missing for over four months; she's probably dead." Aizawa, was it? Anyways, he told L that.
L knew the truth, but he didn't tell the Task Force. I remember Beyond and I watching her die. If I wasn't around these normal people, I would have laughed at the thought.
"Ryuzaki, there is something important about to happen. Turn on Sakura TV." Watari said as he walked into the room.
L grabbed the TV remote and turned it on quickly. The man on the news played the first tape. Misa's modified voice started talking. L changed the channel to the channel Kira said to, only to find the news reporter on that channel dead.
"Watari!" L said strictly. I don't think I've ever heard him so...emotional before. "Please bring me more TV's."
I looked at L as he and Aizawa argued after one of the members left and was killed at the entrance of the Sakura TV station. He was shaking, and I really wanted to stay around and comfort him, but I didn't have time for that. Beyond is asleep right now, so he doesn't have to put up with this shit.
I'll go there and get the tapes back, well, not without calling Chief Yagami and telling him to go, too. I pulled out my cellphone after I got out of the hotel.
"Hello? Chief of the Kira Task Force speaking." Came the older mans gruff voice.
"This is Lamia. I am sure you are aware of what is happening right now?"
"Of course."
"Well, get out of that hospital and drive a vehicle through the entrance of the Sakura TV station. I'll meet you there." I told him.
"But what if you're killed?!" Soichiro asked, shocked.
"Oh, I won't be." I said and hung up.
Misa, just don't get yourself caught already. I thought to myself as I looked up at the night sky. I hurriedly made it to where the Sakura TV station is, but I stayed out of sight.
I need to find a way to get in there without being noticed. If Misa happens to spot me, I'm sure she wouldn't try to kill me since she trusts me enough to let me know how Kira kills.
Checking my surroundings, I looked up at what looked like an abandoned building. In one of the top windows I swore I seen something glinting. So that's where you are right now, Misa. You know what, I'm just going straight in. I'm tired of waiting for the Chief to get here.
I walked right up to the front glass doors. The dead body of Ukita was right next to my feet, but it doesn't bother me at all. I tap on the glass door, glaring at the security guard behind it.
"Open this door." I growled at him, but he just shook his head at me.
I heard sirens behind me. Turning around, I seen a police car pull up behind me. Two men stepped out, only to fall over dead before they could speak. One of the news reporters shouted stuff at me.
"Look, it's Misa-Misa's sister! Mam, it's dangerous here, you need to get away immediately!"
"I think you need to get away from me before I kill you instead of Kira!" I shouted back at him. The group filming backed away from the area, fleeing because they feared for their lives.
I turned back to the glass doors. I kicked as hard as I could. But it only caused the door to crack. I placed my hands on my knees and panted as I got my breath back and tried again. Then I got an idea. I grabbed my ninjato and jabbed at the cracks I had made. I managed to cut out a jagged circle that was big enough for me to get through.
I skillfully stepped through the circle. The security guard grabbed his gun and pointed it at me.
"Put down your weapon and stay where you are!" He commanded.
I smirked and sat the ninjato on the floor and kicked it over to him. When he bent over to pick it up, I ran at him with my own gun in hand, and fired three times at him.
I didn't miss, but I had also been shot. I fell to my knees and winced in pain. That man was smarter than I thought he was. He planned on shooting me from the beginning.
I placed a gloved hand on the wound on my shoulder. I raised the now blood covered hand to my face and gazed at it. I should have been more careful! I was mad with myself.
I stood up and grabbed my ninjato, placing it back in my boot, and placing my gun back into my thigh-holster.
"You fucking bastard!" I spat at the dead and bleeding security guy, even though I knew he could no longer hear me.
As soon as I turned my head to look around me, I had to jump out of the way because a vehicle drove through the glass doors. Turns out the man driving was the Chief.
"About time you got here!" I called out to him and got back up, walking over to him.
"Yeah, sorry for the wait. Let's go stop this broadcast." He said to me.
Together we went to the recording room. Either Soichiro didn't see my wound or he didn't question it.
"Hand over those tapes right now!" Soichiro yelled at the guy with tinted glasses.
"Why should I? These tapes would cause my ratings to blow through the roof!"
Soichiro and I both pointed our guns at the man.
"Hand them over now!" I yelled.
"Alright, alright. Just quit waving those guns around." He said as he gave in.
After we retrieved the tapes and went back into the hallway, Chief called L. He told us to go to the front entrance in five minutes. Whenever we did, I didn't expect a crowd of police shielding us from sight to be there.
Soichiro handed me the bags with the tapes in them and I sat in the backseat of the car that they had brought us. The Chief drove us back to the hotel, a little more fast then I thought he would drive.
Once we arrived, Watari helped Chief walk back into the room.
"Now let me sit down here and rest." He sighed, his age clearly starting to show.
"Here are the tapes we brought you." I handed the bag to L.
"Thank you. Your work will not have been for nothing." L said then his eyes widened a fraction as he seen blood gushing from my shoulder. I had hidden the wound with my hair, but the blood must have soaked through it. Now it's all matted and sticky with red liquid, which will take a while do wash out.
"Lamia..." L trailed off. Matsuda heard the slight change in L's voice and looked over at us.
"Oh my God, Lamia's hurt!" Well thanks for pointing out the obvious; the last thing I wanted was for them to start a commotion.
"Watari, please go get the first-aid kit. Lamia, what happened?" L asked me.
"I was shot. It hurts a bit, but not as bad as I thought it would. I guess I'm used to being shot by now, but it's not story time." I said.
"You should sit down!" Matsuda said worriedly and pulled over a chair. I gingerly sat down, trying not to harm the wound anymore and I moved my hair out of the way so they could examine it.
"She has been shot Watari. I'm afraid we'll have to take her to a doctor." L told the old man once he came back into the room.
"It's quite alright, I can deal with more serious wounds too." Watari said.
"Really people, I'm fine. I'll take care of myself. I always have before." I smiled a bit at them.
"This is exactly why we don't need her here! She's only going to cause trouble and distract us from catching Kira." Aizawa said.
"Will everyone just shut up! I was trying to sleep!" Beyond yelled.
"That's the maddest I've ever heard him." I muttered to L, who nodded in agreement.
Everyone was silent whenever Beyond walked over to where I was sitting with L standing in front of me. His red eyes glowed in the darkness of the room. I noticed how his nose twitched as he caught the scent of blood.
"Who did that to you?" Beyond asked softly, as if speaking to loudly would harm me.
"A security guard...but I killed him." I replied. Beyond's face went from serious, to soft whenever I said that.
"Oh." Was all he said. One of his pale hands reached out and grabbed a lock of my hair. His skinny fingers ran through it as he tried to get the tangles out of it. Then he stopped, petted my head, and walked off, going back into his room. But not before stopping beside Aizawa and saying something to him. I couldn't hear what he said, but by the look on Aizawa's face, I could tell he made a threat.
"Uhm, Watari?" L asked.
"Yes Ryuzaki?"
"You can dress her wound now."
Watari told me to go into the kitchen where we wouldn't be disturbed. I had to take off my shirt, much to my disappointment, so that he could find the bullet and clean the hole it made in my shoulder.
"BB really cares about you, you know." Watari told me as he used tweezers to pluck out the bullet, earning a gasp of pain which I tried to hold in.
"How so?" I asked.
"Well, for one thing he's always trying to protect you, whether you know about it or not. I noticed, though. He gets mad whenever Mister Aizawa talks bad about you, calling you a criminal and such."
I laughed a bit until Watari put some sort of medicine on the wound and wrapped it with bandages. After he was done, I put my shirt back on.
"Try not to reopen the wound." Was all the old man said before I walked out of the kitchen.
I sat up all night with L watching the Kira videos. I found it hard to keep a strait face because I helped make them, so I found L's seriousness funny.
"Find out anything new?" Matsuda asked as he walked into the living room.
"Yes. We actually found out quite a lot." I told him.
"I suspect that there are two Kira's, not just one." L said to the rest of the Task Force, who had just joined us.
L explained his theory to them and answered their questions. Soichiro is still worried about whether L has cleared his son's name yet, but L wants Light to join the Task Force. I wonder what will happen whenever the DNA results of the fingerprints and hair from the tapes come in? I placed a strand of my hair as well as Misa's in the bag, but I'll just tell L we made those tapes for fun and that I know nothing about Kira if he asks me about it.
