Diclaimer - I don't own death note.
Chapter 31 - Television
"Regarding Naomi Misora's disappearance," Ukita said. "Shouldn't we open and investigation into this manner." The rest of the task force was sitting in the hotel room, except of course for Yagami-san. Since Yagami-san was in the hospital there was space on the sofa for Chanel to sit. "If we do it should be conducted separately from the Kira case." Ryuuzaki said. "Also we'll have to use police sketches instead of actual photos." "She's been missing for four months now; chances are she's already dead." Aizawa said. Always a positive attitude that Aizawa. Chanel thought. Then again he could be right. Niaomi Misora is probably dead and decaying, by now. There's no way Kira would have hesitated in killing her if he had gotten the chance, if she threatened him in anyway. "If your right I find it odd that we haven't found her body yet. If we did it might provide us with some, much needed, physical evidence." Ryuuzaki said.
Then Watari suddenly entered the room. "Ryuuzaki something seems to be happening on Sakura t.v.," he said. Then everyone went over to the t.v. in the room and Watari turned it on. "In other words we here at Saukura t.v. are Kira's hostages. Other than that we also feel a professional obligation to share this message with you. I assure you this message is not a hoax; and Sakura t.v. isn't airing this for the purpose of sensationalism." One of the anchor men said. "Hostages?" Aizawa said. "What is this," Matsuda asked. Chanel saw that on the side of the screen it read 'Live'.
"Four days ago, an envelope containing four videotapes arrived at this station, addressed to one of our directors. It was, without a doubt, sent by Kira." the man continued. "The first tape announced the date and time of death for two recently arrested criminals. "Exactly as predicted, these two men died yesterday, of heart attacks." What's going on? If this is true what's Kira's motive behind this? Chanel thought. "The envelope we received contained instructions from Kira telling us to air this, the second video, at exactly 5:59 pm today." The anchor said as the camera zoomed in on the video tape. "And we do intended to comply with his demands. This tape should prove his powers by foretelling yet another death and contains a message to people all over the world, from Kira."
The task force all gasped. "This has to be another fake," Ukita said. "I don't think Sakura t.v. would stoop that low." Matsuda said. "And now the video." The anchor said right before the screen changed to an all white screen with a the name Kira at the center. "I am Kira." a deep fake voice began, the sound quality was poor. "If this video is aired at exactly 5:59 pm on April 18th, as I requested. Then it is now 5:59 and 38, 39, 40... please switch channels to Taiyo t.v. The news anchor, Mr. Kazuhiko Hibima, will die at exactly six pm." the Kira voice said. The task force gasped once more. "Change it," Ryuuzaki requested. Then Watari change the channel.
A man lay limp in a chair. His head was tilted backward. Then two frightened people rushed to him; calling over crew members to help with the body. "Switch back to Sakura!" Ryuuzaki told them. "Watari, bring another t.v set here. No, two t.v sets." "Mr. Hibima has consistently referred to Kira as "evil" in his news reports. This was his punishment." the Kira voice explained. "I will present you with another. My next target is NHN t.v commentator, Siechi Kamura who is scheduled to be appearing live on the air at this time. He too has dared to defy Kira."
I don't get it, Chanel thought. This isn't like Light. He wouldn't do something like this. No, this is another person, who is pretending to be Kira. Then again if it were how did they obtain the power of the death note. I would have sensed it fall into the human world. Though it's possible that it fell at the exact same time Light's had. Then again that's only a possibility. "Ryuuzaki..." Matsuda began, but didn't finish his sentence "Go to channel 24!" Ryuuzaki said. Several people were gathered around a man's limp body. "Change it back," Ryuuzaki said in a low voice. Aizawa did so.
"I hope that you now have no trouble believing that I'm Kira." The voice said. Kira said that he would be sending a message to people all over the world. L thought. "We have to make them stop this broadcast, we can't let him finish!" "I'll get Sakura tv's phone number!" Matsuda shouted as he grabbed the phone. "It's hopeless. I've dialed every phone number. but all my contacts at the station have thier cell phones off!" Aizawa said. "And no one is picking up at reception either," Matsuda said. Dammit! Then I'm going over there to make then stop it myself!" Ukita shouted as he ran to the door. "No Ukita," Chanel said, but it was too late Ukita had already ran out the door.
"Please listen to me carefully. I do not want to kill innocent people." the Kira tape continued. "I hate evil and love justice. I do not consider the police my enemies, but my allies in my fight against evil." L bit his thumb. "I intend to create a new world," the voice said. "A world that is free from evil. If you join me in my mission I know we can make it happen, and if no one tries to catch me, I promise the innocent won't die. Even if you don't approve, all I ask is to not publicize your views through the media. If you can do that you wil be spared. All you have to do is be patient. I will create a better world that we can all enjoy. Say goodbye to the world as you know it. Soon we'll have a new world with good, kind, and honest people."
This really can't be Kira; he has no motive to gain out of this. This has to be someone else. Someone who admires Kira. This person clearly wants Kira to acknowledge his existence. This person is complete different from Kira. It's not like he's killing criminals he killing the innocent, the people who oppose him. That bastard. Chanel clenched her fists. Then Chanel saw on one of the Ukita appear on the screen. She saw as he attempted to open the doors, but when it showed that he couldn't he pulled out his gun in an attempt to break the glass doors. Then suddenly he froze. Chanel as the name above his head blurred, and then finally disappeared as he collapsed onto the ground. Chanel froze where she was standing. What? This Kira...he has the...shinigami eyes. Chanel clenched her fists even more tightly, so tightly they began to bleed.
"This just in! Someone is reported to have collapsed in front of Sakura Tv!" "Ukita," Aizawa said. " Dammit! Kira did this." Then Aizawa ran towards the door, but Chanel was too quick. She immediately ran and pressed herself against the door. "Get out of my way Tailor." Aizawa shouted with challenging eyes, but Chanel refused. She didn't say anything, but challenged him back with her own eyes. "Mr. Aizawa. Where are you going?" Ryuuzaki shouted. "Where do you think. I've got to go there." Aizawa said through clenched teeth. "You can't please think about this rationally." "What you want me to just sit here and watch t.v.?" "If this the work of Kira you'll just meet the same fate." "You said that Kira couldn't kill without a name, so why did this happen?" Aizawa shouted. "The alias and fake Ids were worthless. What are we going to do now L. Do you think Kira has our names and information already?" Matsuda said walking over to him.
"That may be a definite possibility. Though if that were the case. You think he would be able to kill off the entire task force, before making a move. Initially I deduced that Kira needed a name and a face to kill, but from what we've just seen I'd say it's not entirely impossible for him to kill with only a face. All I know for sure is that Kira is either in that t.v station or somewhere close by. In a place where he can watch anyone enter the building. Perhaps-" Aizawa then interrupted Ryuuzaki. "If Kira is in the area isn't that why we should go down there?" Aizawa shouted. "For all we know he could've just placed surveillance camera's in the area. If we all rush down there unprepared we'll just be killed." Then Aizawa rushed over to him and grabbed him by the shoulder roughly. "Wasn't it you who said we would have to risk our lives to catch Kira?"
"Yes I said that, but risking my life and doing something that I know will cost me my life are two entirely different things." Then Chanel came over to Aizawa and grabbed the arm that was gripping Ryuuzaki. "Oh yeah?" "Aizawa please. Calm down." She tried. Then Chanel noticed that Ryuuzaki was gripping his legs so tightly he was shaking. Chanel also saw that Aizawa has noticed as well. Which caused him to let go and back away. Chanel wished she could do something to comfort him, but could think of nothing, but to place her hand on his shoulder lightly. "Please control yourself. We've lost Ukita. I understand you want to go there but if something were to happen to you..." Ryuuzaki cut himself off.
"I now await a response from the police." The voice continued. "You have to decide whether or not you'll help me create a better world for all of us. Please announce your decision on the six o'clock news in four days. I've prepared two videos; one if the answer is yes, and another if the answer no."
"What the hell," Chanel shouted as a bus going on full speed shattered the front entrance of the television station. "A large vehicle with tinted windows had just driven through the entrance of Sakura t.v." The announcer said. The rest of the task force all had their attention on the t.v. "Well, that's one to get into the building without being seen by Kira." Ryuuzaki said, eyes slightly widened. "But who would..." Aizawa began. "Yagami-san?" Chanel mumbled, but was clearly heard by the rest of the task force. They looked at her and then back at the t.v screen. "As you can see were still here at the entrance of Sakura tv. It seems as though a police car has just pulled up."
"We aren't alone in this... there are other cops who're ready to stand up to Kira..." Matsuda said. "Aizawa, you know deputy chief Kitamura's cell phone number, don't you?" L asked. "Yeah." Aizawa answered. Aizawa dialed. "This is L." he said almost immediately after grabbing the phone. "I have a request. There will be more officers driven to act on their own after seeing this broadcast. Unless strictly coordinated action is taken, we'll have a major tragedy on our hands."
"The two officers who stepped out of the police car have collapsed! I think we may be in danger. We are moving to a safer location." The news reporter said. "Damn," Chanel said, as she saw the police officers collapse. Watari's cell phone rang and he read the number. "It's Yagami-san." he said. "Call him back right away, and hand me the phone." Watari dialed, then handed the phone to L. "Yagami-san, it's me. So it was you in that police van." L said. It wasn't a question. "But what about your condition?" Ryuuzaki listened to what Yagami-san had to say, then said; "Please hold the line for a moment. " Then he switched phones.
"Deputy director Kitamura, the one in the van was Yagami-san." he said into the other cell phone. "Are your preparations complete?" He listened to what Kitamura saidn then switched the phones, once more. "Mr. Yagami, in exactly five minutes head out the front." What's he planning on doing, Chanel thought.
Yagami-san walked down the hallway of the Sakura t.v building. His heart was pounding vigorously. He was scared, and unsure of Ryuuzaki's plan, but he had faith in him. Once he arrived at the entrance of the building he saw a wall of police with protective masks and shields that covered there faces. His eyes widened. "Make sure that there aren't any gaps. We know that Kira isn't in the building, he's outside," one of the head police officers said. "Thank you," he said to the police officer that was there to greet him. "I'll drive myself," he said. Then drove off into the night.
"There you have the police have refused to cooperate with Kira. They are prepared to fight, and as much as I fear for my life in saying; so this is right, and it must be done. Kira has become a threat to our very constitution, and as citizens we must fight back. I am NHN's golden news anchor, Toki Takabana." As the anchor man finished Yagami-san came through the door. "Chief." Matsuda said. "Welcome back," Aizawa said. Watari was helping Yagami-san to stand. "Ryuuzaki, I'm apologize about taking matters into my own hands like that," Yagami-san said. "I might have gotten carried away. Here, these are all the tapes, in an envelope. Everything Kira sent to the station is in here." Yagami-san said handing the bag to Ryuuzaki. "Ugh. I think I need to rest for a moment." Watari helped Yagami-san onto the sofa. "Thank you Mr. Yagami. I promise you that this won't go to waste." Ryuuzaki said.
Chanel sighed in relief. Thank god that madness is over. She thought. Well at least for now. "Mr. Aizawa can you please take this to the crime lab immediately." Ryuuzaki handed the bag over Ryuuzaki. "I still have a couple friends down there. I'll make sure they go over every inch of this." "That's good; please do so. While your doing that. I'm going to watch these tapes to see if they can tell us anything." Chanel then took a seat on the floor next to Ryuuzaki's armchair. She was determined to see the tapes as well.
