Chapter 38 - Confinement
When Chanel had arrived back Ryuuzaki had noticed her torn clothes and suggested that she change and clean up. She listened and did as he requested. When she returned to the room she decided rest on the floor. Her body ached serverly. The transformation had taken a toll on her. She kept trying to get comfortable on the floor, but everyspot she tried when laying on it hurt, and everytime her skin rubbed against the carpet it wold tear and bleed. This made Chanel aggrivated to the point where she decided to sit up and lean against Ryuuzaki's armchair.
Chanel continued to watch the screen that showed the unconscious Misa. Chanel sighed and looked about the room. Where is Roki? she thought. I wonder why he didn't leave with me. Maybe he thought that it would be more interesting to watch from Kira's side. I just hope he doesn't cause and more trouble. Soon Roki entered the room through the wall. Chanel gave him that look of 'where have you been?'. He ignored her and just went into the corner. Chanel decided it best to ignore the shinigami. There was just way too much running through her head.
Ryuuzaki glanced down at Chanel and said, "what happened to you?"
"Huh?" Chanel said not exactly sure what he was getting at.
"You came in here with torn, blood stained clothes. What happened to you while you were out."
"Oh uh..." What am I going to tell him? Chanel thought. I've got to think of something quickly. "I... uh... got into a little fight." She lied.
Ryuuzaki raised an eyebrow at her. "How little?"
"Uh enough to get hurt."
"I see and what brought this on?"
"Uh... well some wierd girl thought I was flirting with her man and I wasn't, but she got all wild on me and started to attack me. I fought her off, but she managed to tear some of my clothes and scratch me up a bit."
"I see. Next time refrain from talking to men who have female company with them." Ryuuzaki said and turned back to the monitor. Chanel continued to stare at the monitor that showed Amane. She stared at her binds in particular. A memory that she had thought was forgotten arose back in her and a sharp knife-like feeling of guilt and pain ran stabbed her in the heart.
"Uh... Ryuuzaki don't think this Misa business has gone a bit too far. I mean she's only human after all, and she's begged for death. I think maybe you could go easy on her. She is a girl after all."
"You've never regected any of my tactics before, why now? After all if I remember clearly serveral years ago during a particular case you said whether or not a person's sex differs they should recieve the same methods of interigation."
"I know I said that, but-" Just then Amane awoke. "Mr. Stalker... uh Mr.? Where are you right now? Do you think we can stop this game?"
"What's with the new attitude all of a sudden?" Aizawa asked.
"Do you really love that human?" Roki said appearing next to Chanel. "If you do then you would tell him." He continued. Chanel stood very still for a moment. She did not respond, nor did she pay any attention as to what was going on with Misa. "You could tell him right now if you wanted to right? He'll surely believe you considering you can transform."
That's true I can transform. So he would believe me, and them he can catch Kira knowing what method of killing he's using, but- "But what if he doesn't look at you the same way. What if he thinks your a monster and at the end of this he decides to leave you. You'll be all alone again. I know you love him wholly, but can he love every part of you, even the parts you've hidden from him all these years?"
Chanel decided to ignore Roki. She knew he was right, but she couldn't face that fact. What if he stopped loving her after he found out? She couldn't bare that so she decided it best to let her powers come out fully and when it did she would kill Light, and her and L could go back to the life they once had, only this time it would be better. Chanel then through all her thoughts concerning that topic to the back of her mind and went back to the events that were going on infront of her. She saw Ryuuzaki hang up the phone he once had to his ear and hand back to Matsuda.
How much did I miss? She thought.
"I know why don't I give you and autograph and a handshake? I know, how about a kiss on the cheek. Oh come on I won't run away, I promise." Misa bargained. Oh Misa if this wasn't Ryuuzaki and an actual stalker I doubt he would only want a kiss on the cheek and a hand shake. He would want you to- Chanel was cut from her thoughts when Ryuuzaki stared speaking to Misa.
"Misa Amane, before you passed out you barely spoke, and even asked me to kill you, now your claiming ignorance."
"I don't understand. Your the one who knocked me out and brought me here right? I know this is just some fantasy of yours right?"
"Do you know why I am detaining you here? I'm sure you must know of some reason."
"What do you mean? It's because I'm a celebrity, but you've sure went farther than all the other stalkers. You're starting to scare me."
It's no use Ryuuzaki. She doesn't remember, because unfortuantly she's not second Kira anymore. I just wish I could tell you. Chanel thought.
"Hey, Amane! Quit messing around! No one's buying this!" Matsuda shouted into the microphone.
"Oh man this is scary. I can't take it anymore! Please let me go you have to let me go! I... I... I have to use the bathroom."
"You just went four minutes ago. I'm afraid you'll have to hold it."
"You have to let me use the bathroom that's the only time you'll let me out of this. Besides you could watch isn't that what you want? Isn't it! You pervert!" Amane shouted.
"I'm a... pervert?" Ryuuzaki asked more to himself, with his thumb to his lips. Chanel couldn't help, but silently giggle at this. It's kinda funny because it's true. She thought.Ryuuzaki noticed this and stared at her with questioning eyes. "Uh... well just a little." She said, politely smiling. Then Ryuuzaki turned his head without a word spoken to her.
"Let's continue the conversation before you passed out. Do you know who Light Yagami is? If so why did you approach him?"
"Huh? Why wouldn't I know my own boyfriend?" Suddenly L's cell phone rang and he looked at the caller ID, mummbled 'it's Light', then answered it. "Yes. I see. Alright we're in room K2801."
Light's on his way." He said after hanging up the phone. Soon as Ryuuzaki had said Light had came, he entered with Matsuda who had went down to meet him. He stood quiet for a long moment before speaking, and glanced at Chanel. "Ryuuzaki, as I said on the phone... I may be Kira." Yagami-san's eyes widened as his face was painted itself into an expression of shock.
"What are you saying, Light?" he cried, shaking Light by the shoulders. "Why would you even say something like that?" Ryuuzaki turned his head around to face Light. Chanel was taken aback by what Light had said. What's going on there's no way that Light would just confess. No he's up to something, but what? "There's no doubt that Ryuuzaki is the world's greatest detective, not to mention he's never been wrong. Considering that if he thinks I'm Kira then I probably am."
"Stop this Light." Yagami-san said.
"What about that FBI agent Raye Penber? He was investigating me before he died. I was also in Aoyama on May 22nd. I'm the person that Misa, the alledged second Kira, approached after coming to Tokyo. If I was in L's position, I would believe that I'm Kira too. It's all been me. You see subconsciously I might be Kira. If that were the case I may be killing people as we speak." Light explained.
"That's not possible." Ryuuzaki said. "What do you mean?" "At one point I had cameras installed in your room." Ryuuzaki stated.
"Cameras?" Light asked.
"Yes. Every single night you slept normally. Criminals kept dying even though you had no knowledge of them, but the only thing this proved to me that if you were Kira no amount of camera surviellence would show this."
"It wouldn't reveal that fact huh? It could still be true. I have to admit that I've thought that some criminals deserve to die. If I can think like Kira then what proof is there that I'm not him?"
"Hold on Light. Sometimes I think the same too, that some people are better off dead, but that doesn't meant we're gonna go out and kill people. Besides criminals were still being killed even though you had no knowledge of them. The surviellence camera's proved that right?"
"No that's not true." Chanel said. "We were only able to watch him at while he was at home; we couldn't while he was outside. Although I don't believe that Kira is killing without awareness. Even if you are Kira, and let's say you were killing subconsciously, wouldn't your subconscious self want to keep suspicion away from you? Wouldn't it somehow convince your conscious self in doubt that you were, to keep you out of harms way?"
"Well my conscious side must've won out."
"Is that so?"
"Honestly I don't like where this going, but what choice do I have? Let's do it." Ryuuzaki said causing the task force all to gasp. "Aizawa I need you to fully restrain Light, and place him in solitary confinement. If we're going to do this it has to happen immediatly. From this point on you're not allowed to have contact with the outside world."
"This is crazy. There's no way my son is Kira. He's not capable of-"
"Actually anyone's capable of anything Mr Yagami. Even your son could be capable of murder." Chanel said causing Yagami-san to glare at her. "It's okay dad." Light said.
"Stop this Light."
"Listen, something has to be sone about this. There's no way I'll be able to keep helping catch Kira if somewhere in my mind I suspect myself. I want to clear these doubts as soon as is the only way. Ryuuzaki I want you to agree not to let me out until you're sure I'm not Kira. No matter what I say or do you, cannot let me out." Raito said.
"You have my word Light. Mr. Yagami please come up with an excuse as to Light's absence, something to tell your family, and please do it right away."
"B-but this is all so sudden, and I don't see any reason why he should be in prison." Yagami-san said.
"Let it go dad." Light said. "If I don't do this I won't be able to live with myself.
"But son do you know what you're getting into?"
"Yeah, by taking away my own freedom... I'll defeat the fear of Kira that dwells within me." Light said. He was soon retrained. "Aizawa please take him away. Aizawa did as such and led Light out of the room. Chanel watched as he did. What are you up to Light?
Soon Light was in prison and Ryuuzaki was watching a larger monitor that showed both Light and Misa in their serperate cells. Chanel was leaning against Ryuuzaki's chair watching only Light, she had gotten tired of Misa seeing as she had no recolection of her actions and was no longer a threat. "So I'm guessing apples are out of the question?" Ryuk said sitting in the corner of Light's cell. Chanel smirked at this. It was just like Ryuk to say something like that. Soon Yagami-san entered the room a more serious look, than usual, was painted on his face.
"Ryuuzaki, I request that you take me off this investigation." He said. This was when Chanel turned herself to face him. "What?" Aizawa and Matsuda said in unison.
"I've been thinking about it and the fact is we're holding my son as a prime suspect. Given that it's not appropriate for me to be here. When we spoke earlier my feelings got in the way. It's immpossible for me to be objective in this situation."
"I agree we can't let personal feelings get in the way." Ryuzaki said his back to Yagami-san.
"And in truth, if the task force concludes that my son is Kira I don't know what I'd be capable of." Yagami-san continued.
"Yes. I've been thinking the same thing. You may kill your son or even yourself."
"Ryuuzaki I will ask that you confine me aswell." Yagami-san stepped foward. "At the moment I'm calm, but I don't know how much more of this I can take."
"I thought you might say that, so I made arrangements with Watari, but your confinement will be different. You will keep your cell phone turned on at all times and main tain regular contant with family and friends. You won't tell Light about this, if he does at some point call you, you will make it as though you are in headquarters. While you are in confinement you will be given continuous updates so you'll know what's going on." Ryuuzaki put a piece of fruit in his mouth.
What do you think about that?"
"I'm grateful. Thank you."
Soon Yagami-san was taken away into confinement aswell. Chanel's heart was broken as she watched him be taken away. How could you do this Light? You could've just given up the death note. There was no need for all this. How could you take your family for granted? You're putting your father through unnesessary stress. He loves you Light, and you are a terrible son. You deserve to die, but... that would break your father's heart. I wonder, when my powers fully return, will I be able to kill Light, or not if just for Yagami-san's sake.
It was the third day of confinement and the screen that showed all the cells included Yagami-san's aswell. "I didn't think things could get more bazarre." Aizawa said.
"Ryuuzaki tell me, have any new criminals been identified? Anyones that Kira would target? If so have any been killed." Light said into the camera. "A few criminals have been broadcasted, but since you've been detained non have been killed by Kira."
"No one's been killed? Really?" Light said in disbelief. Stop lying you jerk. You know there wasn't. Chanel thought. "I see so it's only a matter of time before I'm convicted of being Kira."
"What I wouldn't give for an apple," Ryuk said staring at the ceiling, clearly daydreaming about an apple. Chanel smirk and bit back a laugh.
On the fifth day of confinement it was a sunny and beautiful day. The depression that the sky had for days faded. Chanel stood there in the darkened room staring out the window from her spot on the floor. What I wouldn't give to go outside. She thought. It's such a beautiful day, but I can't miss a single detail of this investigation. Chanel then glanced at the monitor that showed Light, and saw that Ryuk was going through his withdrawl simptoms. Chanel smirked. If only everyone could be addicted to apples instead of drugs and other things so vile.
Chanel then looked at the monitor that showed Yagami-san's cell. He was just staring at the ceiling; Chanel's heart went out to him.
The chief looks worse then Raito and Amane..." Ryuzaki said.
"Yeah, understandably. It's been five days, and no newly announced criminals have been killed. It must be harder on the parents than those who are accussed." Matsuda said.
"Yeah now that we're seeing proof that Light is Kira." Aizawa stated.
"Yagami-san." Ryuzaki said into the microphone.
"What happened? Is it good news? Is it bad news?" Yagami-san shouted standing up and moving closer to the camera anctious for Ryuuzaki to say that his son had been cleared.
"No... I wanted to tell you not to worry so much... nothing will be accomplished by stressing yourself. The outcome will be the same This could go on for quite some time. Perhaps you should rest in a more comfortable place?" Ryuzaki suggested.
"Impossible! What makes you think I could be comfortable anywhere? With the state that I'm in now this is the best place for me. No matter what the results, When I leave here it'll be with my son!" Yagami-san shouted right into the camera.
Chanel stared at Ryuuzaki's face. She saw what might be a shadow of a sympathetic look. Ryuuzaki actually cares about Yagami-san. Chanel thought. I don't care what anybody says he has a heart and he cares about people. He may take up cases because it interests him, but he's still that little boy who became a detective to help people. He hasn't really changed much.
It was now seven days since confinement. The beautful days previous to this one had faded and the rain had come. The heaven cried hard releasing all the pain it felt and washing away the sins of mankind. There was once again sadness that filled the room, but it seemed even more so because of the rain. Chanel stared at the monitors. It's been seven days and nothing. I still don't know anything about Light's plan and watching Yagami-san in this state is just depressing. She thought.
Light stood there in fetal position on the floor in front of his bed. "Light you've been here for seven days. It can't be easy. Are you feeling alright?" Ryuuzaki asked.
"Yeah. I know I must look pretty bad in here but... this useless pride... I guess I'll have to... get rid of it." Light stated. Ryuk untwisted himself and stood up then. He stared at Light for a moment, but Light continued to look foward.
"Got it." He said and left. "Later." He said before completely leaving.
Chanel stared at the monitor, curiously. Is he- Could it be that- Chanel didn't finish her thoughts. She simply watched as the lifespan above Light's head slowly appeared. Her eyes grew wide as did Light's as his memories faded. "No..." Chanel muttered.
Light looked around. "R-ryuuzaki. I realise I was the one pushing for confinement, but this whole thing is completely pointless. I'm not Kira. You have to get me out of here." Light said.
The whole task force stared at the monitor shocked. No. There's no way he would just give up the death note. There's no way he would do that. If he didn't do that when I confronted him then he wouldn't do it now. Not completely anyway. Also how would Ryuk know that her meant he wanted to give it up, by just saying those words? He has a plan, but what? That's it I can't think in this room. I feel like I'm going to suffocate.
Chanel ran out of the room, the task force either didn't notice of didn't care. Chanel ran out of the hotel and then started walking when she made it to the street. What is his plan? I know he plans to retrieve the note when he's done, but when and what about that time inbetween them? Chanel looked up and saw Ryuk going down the street. It was raining so no one was really out. There wasn't anyone in the street and Chanel was soaked, but she didn't care she ran up to Ryuk and grabbed his arm. He looked startled, but she just continued to stare at him.
"What is his plan?" She said.
Ryuk stared at her for a moment. "I wish I could, but I'm currently going through withdrawel and I might say the wrong thing." He said with a smirk. Chanel stared at him hard and knew what he was getting at. She held her grip on his arm, and led him down the street to a grocery store. There she bought a basketful of apples. Ryuk stood staring at them like a child and candy. When they exited the store she waved the basket of apples in front of his face. Just as he reached for one she pulled away.
"First tell me what Light is up to." She said with serious eyes. Alright come on." Ryuk said, grabbed her by the waist and flew up in the air. "Are you crazy? Don't you know that I could be seen and me flying in the sky could mean trouble?" Chanel shouted. "Wow you've been living as a human for too long." Ryuk said. "Don't you rememner that when a human or a human body is being held by a shinigami other humans can't see you. I believe you're the one who told me that."
"Oh... right..." Chanel said. Ryuk led her to a wooded area and then landed. As soon as they did Chanel was overcome by a red aura. One that belonged to the death note. "I'm sure by now you know that right infront of where I am standing is the death note, buried. The one Light was using to do all that stuff." Ryuk went on about Light's plan, but only saying the parts that concerned him giving the death note, that misa had, away and having it here for Misa to find. As he spoke Chanel's eyes widened, but at the end she narrowed them as she thought.
"So do I get the apples now?" Ryuk asked. Chanel held out the basket to him and he grabbed it and started indulging in apples. "So who is this person who's going to getting Misa's, and how does Light plan on retrieving his memory of the note?" Chanel asked. "I don't know. I told you everything I knew." Ryuk said munching on his apples.
"I see." Chanel said and then went to the spot to dig up the death note. I wonder what will happen if she found out that I lied about telling her everything, but if I told her everything that she would stop all this, and the fun would stop. I just hope when she does find out I'm far away. Ryuk thought.
Chanel had dug up the death note and brushed off all the dirt. Suddenly Roki appeared in front of her. "So this where you were." Roki said to Chanel. "Hey Ryuk," he said waving to Ryuk. "'sup," Ryuk said with a mouthful of apples.
"Roki I want you to hold onto this death note. Never let it out of your sight. Understand?" Chanel said handing the death note to Roki. "Got it," he said. "Now go and have fun." Chanel told him.
"It's more fun to see what your up to. They just keep sitting there watching the screens. It's so BORING!" Chanel rolled her eyes at Roki's statement. Then she headed back to the hotel. When she returned she quickly changed and took her spot on the floor leaning against Ryuuzaki's chair.
It was now the fiftieth day of confinement. Everyone was stressed out. Chanel had gotten bored of watching now that Light and Misa had no memory. She also knew of Light's plan and was already thinking about the possible ways of how he would get his memory back. During her thinking she had become exhausted. She hadn't slept in days because she was going through the possible ways. Roki was in the corner stressed aswell.
"Ugh! I can't take this anymore! I'M SO BORED! WHEN IS SOMETHING INTERESTING GOING TO HAPPEN?" He shouted, but of course they went unheard. "Sorrow please tell me when something interesting is going to happen." Chanel did not respond. This was when Roki approached her. "Sorrow?" He said and tapped her. She still didn't respond. "Hello? SORROW!" He shouted and tapped her arm. She moved her head only slightly and this when he noticed that she was asleep.
Roki's eye twitched. "That's it I'm out of here! Call me when something fin happens! I'm hanging out with Ryuk!"
Ryuuzaki had ended his small conversation with Yagami-san and turned to the task force. "This conversation with Yagami-san is going to be private. So I ask you all to leave. I will call you back when the conversation is over." The task force left, but Chanel was still sleeping. That includes you too Chanel." Ryuuzaki said.
Chanel didn't respond. Ryuuzaki looked over his seat and saw that she was sleeping. He tried tapping her and calling her name, but she refused to wake up. Finally he decided to smack the back of her head. This time it worked.
"OW! What's going on?" She said looking around and holding her head. She looked up at Ryuuzaki who was staring at her with wide eyes. "Did you just smack me?" She asked.
"That's not important right now. I need you to leave. I'm not going to bother to explain it to you, because you should've been awake. So please leave."
"That's nice. Yeah I so feel the love." She said rising to her feet.
"You should. I said it with extra sweetness just for you." Ryuuzaki said sarcastically.
"Fine, but I'm gonna get some sweets and I'm not getting any for you." She said walking to the door.
"You are the best girlfriend a guy could ever have."
"Sarcasm. Another reason not to get you any sweets." She said and left the room. Ryuuzaki just pouted at the thought of not getting sweets.
When Chanel returned, she had a bag of sweets in her hand for Ryuuzaki. She was just teasing him and wouldn't let her hopefully soon to be boyfriend without the thing he loves the most. Anyway when she returned no one told her about anything, and she didn't even know about the conversation Ryuuzaki and Yagami-san had, but she soon found out three days later.
She was sitting on her spot on the floor and watched as a camera showed Yagami-san driving ith Misa and Light handcuffed in the back seat. "It feels good to finally be cleared and released..." Light said relaxing.
"No... right now you two are... being taken to your execution." Yagami-san responded. Chanel widened her eyes in shock. How could Ryuuzaki convict them without finding out their method of killing? Chanel thought. "I volunteered to take you an underground facility, where your execution will take place, in secret." he finished. Both Light and Misa stared going crazy, talking at the same time, asking too many questions, and talking too fast to understand what they were saying.
"L has concluded that you Light are Kira and Misa Amane is the second Kira. He's convinced that once you two are executed, the killings will end." Yagami-san informed them.
"I thought the killings had already stopped..." Light mentioned.
"No, they never have." Yagami-san confirmed.
"That's not what L said... he lied to me?"
"L was trying to get aconfession out of you. He wouldn't have said anything, but at this point that is not the problem. It's polotical now, L has said that once your dead the killings will stop, and the U.N and government have agreed to this. Kira will be eliminated in secret... no trail, no publicity... " Yagami-san finished.
Chanel became worried and excited all at the same time. This is great that means I don't have to wait any longer to kill Light. He's going to be gone, and then I can find whoever is doing the killings now and just snatch up the killings from him. But this doesn't really make any sense. There's no way L would do this. He goes on hard evidence. He wouldn't just do this on a whim. Something's off. Chanel thought.
"Wait, please Dad! I'm not Kira!" Light shouted.
"Yeah, what are you thinking? This is your own son!" Amane cried.
"This was L's decision, not mine, and his word is absolute. In the past he's solved numerous cases and has never been wrong." Yagami-san said.
"You trust L more than me? I'm your son!" Raito accused, he obviously had no idea we were watching him.
"L is even saying that if this doesn't stop the killing, he will be excuted aswell." Yagami-san stated.
There's no way L would do that. He wouldn't even think of basing this off a theory. He's just not like that. It sounds more something I would do. He's evven criticized me in the past for thinking that way. This is an act, but to prove what? I know this is to really prove whether or not Light is Kira. If he and Misa are Kira and second Kira they would kill everyone that was to execute them. Light would even go as far as to kill his own father, but if Light doesn't kill anyone and niether does Misa, then they're not Kira. This is probably what L and Yagami-san discussed. Anyway if I'm correct, which I'm almost a hundred percent sure I am, I could use some popcorn or nachoes. This is going to be one of the most interesting acts I've ever seen.
" I understand that from the facts we have, this may seem like a reasonable assumption but... this is a mistake! L is making a mistake... Why would L come to a conclusion like this...? something's wrong here... this isn't like L at all... L has always solved his cases with hard evidence, why would he let this one end like this?" Light said fear clear on his face.
Yagami-san continued to drive, but after a series of swerving he stopped. From the window of the car all that could be seen was an open field, and a bridge in the distance. "Where is this? Why did you bring us out to the middle of nowhere?" Light asked.
"Oh I know! You're letting us escape?" Amane said hopefully.
"This will do... nobody will see us out here... I thought it better to bring you here instead of the execution site... Listen to me..." Yagami-san turned to face his son. "I'm going to kill you here and then kill myself."
"What are you saying, Dad? Y-You can't! That's crazy!" Light protested.
" Yeah dad! Stop it! You're crazy!" Amane shouted. "You'd kill your only child for L? If you want to die so badly just kill yourself? If you do this you'll be no different from Kira!"
"No... I'm nothing like Kira... I am bound by the responsibility of being his parent and as chief of the N.P.A." Yagami-san argued.
"Dad! Come on she's right! Think about it, if we die here, the truth we'll never revealed!" Light shouted. "Please dad you have to let us escape!"
"It's too late..." Yagami-san said, reaching inside his jacket. "Either way you'll be executed. This way at least this way I'll be the one to do it." He pulled out a hand gun and held it to Light's forhead.
"Please stop, Dad! I swear I'm not Kira! If I die here, Kira wins! Can't you see" Light shouted.
"Amane... I will die here with my son, but I have no reason to kill you. Do you understand? It's only a matter of time before the police locate this car soon. Then they will send you to the planned site and you'll be executed there..." Yagami-san told Amane. She looked horrified, tears were running down her face, and hse was shaking her head in disbelief. Then Yagami-san took of the safety.
Chanel leaned in at this point. She was eager to see if she was correct. She hopped she was and that she wasn't all at the same time. She wanted Light dead, but she knew deep in her heart that this couldn't be real. There was no way L could go through with something like this.
"Listen Light, from one murderer to another I will see you in hell!"
" No dad!" Light protested, but it was no use. Yagami-san wasn't going to change his mind. Chanel gripped the chair waiting to see the outcome.
"NO! STOP IT!" Amane screamed. Yagami-san pulled the trigger. Chanel widened her eyes and practicly ripped of the part of the chair she was gripping, but there was no blood, and Light's head wasn't blown into a million pieces. This was because... a bullet didn't come out of the gun. Chanel almost fell back in relief. Thank god, she thought.
"You... used a... blank?" Light asked his face painted a look of confusion, horror, and shock.
"Thank goodness..." Yagami-san sighed collasping in his seat.
"Thank goodness? What's going on? I don't understand?" Light asked.
"Forgive me, you two... I know that was hard on both of you, but this was the only way to get you out of prison. You must understand that I only did this because I believe in your innocence, Light." Yagami-san explained. "Did you see that, Ryuzaki? I did as you said and as you can see I'm still alive." Then Light and Misa noticed the camera lense above the rear view mirror of the car. Chanel stood staring at the screen and sighed.
"Yes, it was a convincing performance. If Amane were the second Kira, who only needs to see a person's face to kill them, there's no doubt that she would have killed you before you were to fire you weapon, and if Light was Kira. The Kira I know wouldn't hesitate to kill his own father to save himself. With Light in particular he may have seen through our act at some point, however as agreed, I will end both of their confinement immediately." Ryuuzaki said.
And also as we dicussed Amane will remain under surviellence until Kira is apprehended. Although she insists the tapes we found were just occult videos, physical evidence plus her confession suggests otherwise."
"Hey! No fair! You still suspect me?" Amane shouted into the camera.
"If I were you I wouldn't complain; you will get to return to your normal life. If you're innocent the surviellence shouldn't be a threat to you. Just think of it as complimentary police protection." Yagami-san said turning to look at her.
"Oh I get it! Since I'm not the second Kira, I'll just be like I get my own personal bodyguards." Amane realized.
"As for your part Light, you and I will be together 24/7, and that's how'll we'll remain until we've brought Kira to justice." Ryuzaki said. Light looked into the camera, but it seemed at though he was looking Ryuuzaki straight in the eyes.
"Fine by me. We'll catch Kira... together!" Light agreed. Chanel stared at Light, she was beginning to like this Light a bit better than the one she knew before.
"Yes, I'm look foward to working with you." Ryuzaki said.
Although she thought of this new Light as better, she wasn't going to trust him He was still planning on becoming Kira again, he just didn't know that at the moment. She wasn't going to get too comfortable with him he was still the enemy. She wasn't going to befriend him and she was going to kill him as soon as possible. At least that what she told herself.
