A/N- I haven't updated in a while because I haven't had any motivation to write anything lately, ever since my kitten died. :'( Anyways, the next chapter will be the last one!
Chapter 34
"If I should die soon, would you take over as L?" L asked Light. Beyond and I were sitting on the green couch underneath of the stairs listening to their conversations. But, that question startled me and I now have my full attention on them.
If Light is still playing innocent, he will try to make an excuse. I thought.
"What are you talking about? As long as we are joined together, we have the same fate." Light told L. "I see...Ryuzaki I'm sorry, but I'm going to tell everyone what you are thinking right now." Light explained to the Task Force, saying that L doesn't trust him and stuff, and also saying that he doesn't want the title of L.
Light spins L around in his chair so he is facing him. And then, within a blink of the eye, they start fighting again.
"Gah, not again." Soichiro complains.
"Bahahaha!" I couldn't contain my laughter, and I felt like an idiot for laughing in front of a room full of serious people.
Matsuda breaks them up, then Soichiro shoots me a glance that would make a baby cry. I shut my mouth quickly. Then, L starts walking up the stairs practically dragging Light to go to Misa's room.
So, Misa has to do actress stuff so that she can help L investigate the Yotsuba group. I on the other hand, am going to sneak out of the HQ with Beyond so we can hang out like we used to back in LA.
"Matsuda isn't paying attention to the cameras, Soichiro went to the bathroom earlier to take a shower, Light, L, Misa, and Aiber are practicing the script...looks like it's all clear. Let's go." I told Beyond and we walked right out of the front doors instead of having to sneak out.
"What should we do first? Your choice." Beyond asked as we walked down the street together.
"Well, I've been feeling the urge to kill someone, and my 'boss' hasn't contacted me since..I think since I came to Japan. Wonder what happened to them?" I wondered the last part silently.
"Alright. Choose someone that you know is a criminal." He said then his red eyes widened whenever he looked at the road. A black car which Mogi was driving drove past us, and Beyond and I turned our heads in the other direction so hopefully Mogi didn't see us.
"That was a close one."
"Yeah. Where do you think he was going?" I asked, staring after the car.
"Misa's interview was today...remember?" Beyond told me and patted me on the head.
"I don't remember because I haven't really been paying attention lately." I looked at him and smiled. "See that Kouichi guy over there? He's the one I'm killing. Go have fun yourself while we're free from L." I told Beyond with a wave and started following this college-looking guy named Kouichi.
"Be careful." The pale teen told me before he walked away from me to find his own target. He seemed...off today. I wonder if he's feeling bad? Nah, he doesn't seem like he's sick.
As I followed Kouichi behind a building, I got a nagging feeling in my stomach, and it started to churn. Something had is going to happen, I just feel it. Maybe Beyond could sense it too? I'll kill this guy quickly and go back to him as soon as possible.
I pulled out my ninjato after I made sure nobody was around. Kouichi was unlocking the back door to a building, I guess his working place or something, and I stabbed the blade through the back of his throat.
"Blah!" Was all the man could say as he spat out blood. He twitched some, then I pulled the ninjato put and licked the blood off as I watched the now dead Kouichi fall to the ground.
I quickly met back up with Beyond near the HQ. His teeth were stained with blood, and I told him to lick it off as quickly as he could. We made it back in the HQ without a hassle, and I didn't like the sight whenever we walked back in. Misa was sitting on Light's lap.
"Kya!" I screeched at covered my eyes.
"I never knew you could sound so cute." Beyond leant down and whispered in my ear. I fought back the urge to blush and bit my tongue so I wouldn't say something smart back at him.
The Task Force didn't even notice us there, so we ran up the glass stairs to my room. Once there, I locked the door and sighed.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked as I took off my eyepatch and sat it on my dresser.
"..."
"Not gonna tell me, are you?" I walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder and I shook him gently.
"Tell me, Beyond. I've had a feeling that something bad is going to happen soon."
"Me too." He finally said.
I plopped down on the black leather sofa and tapped my chin in thought. "It's Misa." I came to a conclusion.
"What do you mean?"
"I know Misa is going to do something, I'm going to tell L after Misa goes to her room."
"But you have no proof."
"We both have that feeling. Ah! I know what it is now! She must have got her power back today while she was at the Yotsuba headquarters!" I frowned. "Then that means she will start killing again. Beyond, if she happens to kill you or me, that is enough proof to say that she and Light are the Kira's."
"Good theory." Beyond commented.
"Miss Lamia, would you and B like to go with me to get sweets for Ryuzaki?" Watari suddenly said on an intercom.
"Yeah, I'll be at your car in a few minutes." I replied and stood back up. "Let's go, Beyond. Maybe Watari will let us have some cakes as well."
After we bought all of the pastries and other sweets for L, we helped Watari pack them into the building. I did sneak a few chocolates into my own mouth, and I savored the sweetness of the pieces.
"I'm sorry I keep going back to this subject, but Light, do you remember killing someone?" Here they go again.
To save them from being in another argument, as I sat down a tray of doughnuts next to L, I said, "I do."
L frowned at me. "Beyond and I killed some people earlier today, and I just love how no one noticed us leave and come back." I smiled warmly at L and ruffled his hair. As I went to go stand by Beyond again, Light shot me a grateful glance.
And then they started talking about Higuchi and how they will use Matsuda in their plan with Sakura TV.
"In the meantime Matsuda will have to decide wether he wants to go through with this plan." L said.
"If he doesn't want to do it, I will." I told him, but Matsuda wanted to do it so it didn't matter now.
I grabbed Beyond by the wrist and pulled him back up the stairs and into my room again.
"Everyone is so focused on the case now days that I don't have anyone to argue with." I sighed and plopped down on my bed.
"No, that was just Aizawa you argued with." Beyond stated and sat down next to me.
"True...but I hope something exciting happens soon." I muttered. I lifted a hand up to my face and stared at it. "Just killing random people doesn't thrill me anymore."
"It doesn't me, either. We should target Kira worshippers again because they are the true criminals."
"In the meantime lets watch Sakura TV and see how their plan is going." When I switched on the television, the glass surrounding Matsuda fell down and the crew rushed to cover his face. I turned the TV off.
"Well. I guess everything is working so far." Beyond said and I nodded.
"Wake me up if someone needs me. I left the door unlocked." I murmured and curled up in a little ball on my bed. I was tired after another boring yet long day of doing nothing exciting.
My eye snapped open whenever someone was shaking me. I looked up to see crimson eyes locked on my face.
"Everyone has left except for Misa. She's tied to a chair downstairs." Beyond told me and I sat up.
Now I don't have a chance to tell L about Misa... Oh well~
"Well then, let's use this opportunity to get answers from her." I told him as I stood up and ran a hand through my long hair.
"Right. What weapons do you need?" The young man asked me and followed me out of the room.
"Hm? Weapons, I don't need weapons! Ahahaha!" I started laughing like a maniac as a plan ran through my mind.
"What are you planning, Lamia?" Beyond asked with a smirk.
"Now that my dear friend, you are about to find out." I silenced my laughter and walk down the clear stairs silently.
We walk into the working area to find Misa dozing off in a chair covered in handcuffs and chains. I walk behind her, place my hands on her shoulders, and whisper in her ear, "Light Yagami is going to die."
Sure enough, the petite blonde's eyes opened up and she was wide awake as she stared at me with fear. I smirk and take a step back from her and cross my arms over my chest.
"W-What?!" She screeched.
"Uh-huh." I nodded. "I will kill you too."
"Why would you do such a thing!?"
"Because..." I trailed off in thought and tapped my chin with a finger, then I shrugged. "It seems like fun. Besides, Amane, I'm sure by now you know we aren't really sisters. After all, you can see my true name!" I said happily.
Misa pouted and avoided my gaze. She's trying to act innocent. Pfft, like that would work with me!
I glanced at Beyond and sent him a wink. Then I walked around Misa in a circle like an animal stalking it's prey. "I know you have the eyes of a Shinigami, just like Beyond and I. You are also the second Kira, so therefor I must kill you. If I recall correctly, you showed me this black notebook called the Death Note once before. That is how you kill people. My guess is that this Higuchi guy has one too, and that L will find it tonight. Therefor, he will know all about how Kira's kill people. Also.." I whip around and get up in her face and force her to stare me in the eye.
"Admit that you are the one that sent assassins to kill me back when I was in LA. My "boss" hasn't contacted me in months, and my suspicions are pointing to you."
Misa blinked, teary-eyed, and turned her head away from me once more.
I let out a long sigh and then I pull out my pistol. It's fully loaded, ready to fire, and I hold it against her head. "Honestly L-kun, you should have known better than to leave a Kira vulnerable whenever I'm around." I grinned, but my smile faltered soon.
"Beyond?"
"Yes?"
"Keep a watch on the cameras and tell me whenever they are coming back. I honestly don't want them to walk in whenever I pull the trigger." I licked my red lips and turned my attention to the now shaking Misa Amane.
"Oh~. Why are you almost crying? Is it because you are so guilty that you want your sins to be cleansed?"
"Lamia-chan... I'm sorry. You can kill me, but not Light-kun!" She said in a whisper.
I cupped a hand around my ear. "What was that? I didn't think I heard you correctly. But I did hear, "You can kill Light-kun!" "
Tears started running down the girl's face. Her eyeliner and mascara started running, too. "If you were smarter you'd wear waterproof makeup if you're going to cry all the time." I giggled.
"I-I said that you can kill me but not Light!" Misa yelled, and I flinched.
"His sins need to be cleansed, too. Any last words, Kira?" I spat.
"I'm sorry for hiring assassins to kill you after I found out you killed my father! And I'm sorry that I was your "boss"!"
"Wait, you mean you were the one that assigned me to kill all of those people?"
Misa nodded. "Tell Light that I-"
"Lamia-chan, they're back!" Beyond said loudly over Misa's sobs.
"Oh shit." I huffed and placed the pistol back on my thigh holster. I patted Misa on the head and whispered darkly, "Tell anyone about this and I won't hesitate to kill Light." Then I grabbed Beyond by the hand and ran up the stairs like I was being chased by a zombie.
After me made it to my room quickly, I slammed the door shut and locked it, again. Just how many times have I ran to my room today? I jumped onto my bed and stretched out.
"Phew, that was a close one." I said with a small smile stuck on my face.
"You are quite the sadistic one, aren't you?" Beyond laid down next to me and asked.
"Of course."
I suddenly felt a warmth next to me. Is it just me of did Beyond and I get closer? Oh well. I'll get over it.
Beyond gently wrapped an arm around me and moved my head to where I was laying on his shoulder. His pale fingers played with locks of my light brown hair until I fell asleep against him.
