Hello and thanks to all the people who have faved and are following this story.
Disclaimer: I, Midnight Blood Wolf, do not own Death Note.
K P.O.V.
I observed the screen with great interest as a man named Lind L. Tailor appeared. He was dressed neatly in a suit and tie. Once on screen he started to talk.
"I am Lind. L. Tailor, more commonly known as 'L'. The sole person able to mobilize police in every country worldwide."
"Huh, what is L doing?" Mitsuki questioned from the couch. I stayed expressionless, but that did not stop me from thinking. Yes, what are you doing L? Obviously you have some other motive by using this stand-in. If I was anyone else, I would have thought that this would be the real L. But I know for a fact that this is the criminal name Lind L. Tailor who was arrested not too long ago for murder.
"Criminals have been the target of a killing spree… which has turned into the biggest mass murder case in history. This monstrous crime must be stopped at all costs. 'Kira,' as the perpetrator is commonly known, will be caught. I guarantee it."
I bit my finger in thought. Yes L lets provoke the mass murderer with a murderer. Then realization hit me like a train. You're trying to provoke him. But why?
"Kira. I think I've got a pretty good idea of why you're doing this. But what you are doing is evil!" He finished his sentence with a smirk. I bet Kira is having a break down right now. Lind. L. Tailor continued to smirk as he said the police have launched a coordinated investigation.
Seconds later Lind L. Tailor was clutching his chest in pain. My eyes widened and Mitsuki gasped.
"Looks like you're now the world's top detective Richelle," she said still surprised. I rolled my eyes at my clueless friend. Kira's probably having a good laugh. That won't last very long.
"I… I don't believe it… this was an experiment to test a hunch I had. But I never really thought… Kira… you can actually kill people without direct contact… my hunch was right… I couldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes, but you can… you'd have to of course. It didn't make sense otherwise… listen to me, Kira. If you did just kill Lind L. Tailor, the man you saw on your TV, he was a condemned criminal scheduled to die today, at this hour. That wasn't me," A computerized voice said over the TV.
"How is that possible?" Mitsuki questioned as she looked at me. I ignored her and frowned at the screen. L you used a human life to test a hunch? How does that make you any different from Kira? My face darkened as L continued.
"His arrest and conviction were kept secret from the media, and went unreported even on the internet. Even you had no way of knowing about him, it seems… But I, L, do in fact exist. So come on! Try to kill me!" And with that the screen turned to a black Old English 'L' with a white background.
"What's L doing trying to get killed?" Mitsuki asked.
"No, he is testing something," I replied quietly. She gave me a 'no duh' look. Well you asked me.
"Come on! Go ahead and kill me! I'm still here. Can't do it, Kira?" L taunted. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Mitsuki, who was on the couch leaning towards the television. I quickly grabbed the remote and turned the blasted thing off. Mitsuki seemed to blink in realization at what I just did.
"Why did you do that, Richelle?" She gestured towards the screen.
"I turned off the television because you and I both know that L is already on this case. And this was just to get to Kira and test theories," I replied as Sebastian came up beside me. My brown haired friend sighed at me and got up from her seat.
"I'm going to go and make some tea," Mitsuki stated as she walked off towards the kitchen. I wonder what Kira is thinking right now?
Light P.O.V.
I stared at the screen with anger. Ryuk was behind me just watching the show.
"So, you're both trying to find someone you know nothing about… Not their name, face, or anything else. And whoever is found first, is out dead…" Ryuk said as I turned towards him. Humans are a riot! The shinigami thought.
"I'll win in the end," I stated.
"Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk. I'm watching this contest to the bitter end."
K P.O.V.
I was now sitting, properly but nervously, on Mitsuki's couch, waiting for her dreaded questions. Sebastian seemed to feel the same because he wasn't sleeping anymore. Mitsuki came into the room with her eyes closed and a tray of tea and sugar in her hands. She placed the tray down and opened her eyes to look at me.
"Oh my god," she breathed. I raised an eyebrow in confusion. She noticed my look and explained.
"You are sitting normally for once in your live, Richelle." I swear I heard her mutter quietly, "Now if only I could get you to sleep…"
"I am sitting properly because it is polite not because it is comfortable," I said reaching for the sugar and tea. She only shook her head slowly and sat down across from me.
"What are you doing in Japan, K?" Oh, she is using my detective name. What did I do now?
"I believe that it is quite obvious, as to why I'm in Japan." Mitsuki sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
"You know what I meant." I nodded.
"I did but I'm afraid that if I give you the correct answer you will try to help." I took a sip of my tea, and the corners of my mouth went up in a small smile. Earl Gray, guess she really hasn't change. Suddenly she was up from her seat.
"I understand that you're here for the Kira case, but that doesn't mean you can just go and risk your life!" She yelled. I frowned.
"I apologize for –"
"No, don't say you're sorry." She stated as she started to pace. "You need to think of others too. Like what about your family, you have so much to lose, K." I looked down at the ground and replied quietly,
"I have nothing to lose Mitsuki." Mitsuki stared at me in shock and sadness.
"Well, you may not have anyone to lose but I do. I can't lose you. You are my only friend I have left," Mitsuki said softer. "Plus what about Sebastian you have him to lose." I stood up and walked over to her. Placing my hands on her shoulders I said calmly,
"That is why I can't have you involved in this case. You may die and I may die. If the latter happens please take care of Sebastian for me and promise me that you will not go after Kira." Mitsuki was silent. "Promise me, Mitsuki."
"I promise. But promise me that you won't die," Mitsuki said looking up at me. I gave her a sad smile.
"I won't give you a promise that I know I can't keep."
"Just promise me! I don't care if it's a lie. It will just give me some peace at mind."
"I promise. And I must be going now please watch Sebastian for me," I said as I started to walk towards the door. Then since I wasn't paying attention to her, Mitsuki hugged me.
"I will take care of him. I know you don't like leaving him but you have to." I nodded and walked out the door, quickly calling a taxi.
Once in the taxi, I watched as Mitsuki's house became a small figure in the distance. And the Imperial Hotel becoming a much larger figure.
Mitsuki, I know you know that this promise is one that I can't keep. But nevertheless, I promise.
And that's the second chapter. Most of this story will be in K's point of view. Third person will play as memories and maybe dreams. Any way here's the second way to annoy Light Yagami.
2. Tell him that Kira is a girl's name, then laugh about it.
Please review for… promises.
