Author's Note: I don't own Death Note, but I own Alex.
I woke up to Watari bringing me breakfast. "Good morning, Ms. Winters. I hope you find your breakfast to your liking." Watari said as he wheeled in a cart with a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast and a glass of orange juice. "Thanks, Watari." I said in a sleepy voice. Watari chuckled. Why is he chuckling? "If you need anything else, do not hesitate to ask me or Ryuuzaki." he said and smiled warmly. He walked out and left me with my breakfast. I was hungry, probably due to the fact that I skipped out on dinner last night. I quickly started eating my eggs and toast, but skipped the bacon due to me being a 'vegetarian' other than the fact that I make exceptions with eggs.
After I was finished, I grabbed a pair of clothes out of my packed bag and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. When I got in there, I looked in the mirror. Now I see why Watari was laughing. My hair looked like a bird nest that was attacked my an enemy bird that was much larger. My right side of my face was red for laying on it for too long. And to top it all off, I was still in yesterday's clothes. To sum it all up, I looked like a hobo. Beautiful, right?
I got the shower very hot and got in, not without taking my clothes off of course. The boiling water touching my cold skin felt good. I took my time to think about what has happened up until now. I came to Japan, entered a college for intelligent people, became one of the best in the school along with a Kira suspect and the best detective in the world, became a suspect, got abducted, was tied up, and was now being put under surveillance. Now that I think about it, what if L put cameras in the bathroom as well. My face turned red at the thought. Eww.
I washed up and got out of the shower to dress quickly and blow dry my hair. It's weird that a guy would keep a blow dryer in a bathroom. I wonder if I'm the only girl here. There has to be another girl here, right? After I dressed in a plaid shirt and denim shorts, I went next door to make an agreement about the cameras. When I walked in, I saw men in suits doing paper work and Ryuuzaki sitting on the couch with marshmallows, chocolate cake, strawberry shortcake, and a cup of tea, which looked like it was sugar with some tea poured in there. Ryuuzaki and his sweets.
As I guessed, there were no women. I feel so uncomfortable with all of these men here and not one woman. "Is there anything you need, Ms. Winters?" Ryuuzaki asked, startling me out of my thoughts. "Yeah, I wanted to settle the agreement with the cameras. You didn't put any in the bathroom, did you?" I asked. Everybody in the room turned to me in shock. "Yes, I do, but you do not have to worry. I turn it off when you are not fully clothed." he explained without an expression. "Why do you have it in there in the first place? The only other time I go in there without being undressed is to brush my teeth." I wondered out loud. "That could be the time you decide to kill." he said eating his cake. "I could be killing when I'm undressed." I said. "Yes, that would be the ultimate time that a female would use to kill, so I only turn the monitors off in here, but Watari will still be watching from where he is at."
I was stunned at what he said. Not only me, but the other men did, too. Watari was watching me?! I don't know what's worse, L watching me or Watari watching me. My face was heated up in embarrassment. I bet my face was so red, it put stop signs to shame. "Uh...Ryuuzaki, who is this?" asked a guy with black hair. He seemed to be the youngest if you don't count L. His face was a little pink. Why was he blushing? "Oh, yes, I forgot. This is Alex Winters. She is from America and came to Japan to take college in To-Oh University. She is under suspicion of being Kira due to the fact that she was aware who Kira killed first even though it wasn't announced and was present at a recent killing of Kira's. Also she seems to have a relationship with our main suspect, Light Yagami. " he introduced. "I don't have a relationship with Light. I just met him at the ceremony. Quit jumping to conclusions without even knowing me!" I said with anger.
"Uh...anyway, my name is Matsui." the blushing guy introduced nervously. He kind of looked like the clown of the task force. "I'm Aihara." said the guy with the afro. Well, that's something you don't see everyday, a Japanese guy with an afro. "And, I'm Asahi." said the oldest guy, aside from Watari, with glasses. He had slicked back black hair with a couple of strands of gray. "Currently, we are missing a member, who is helping out with Watari, but one day you will meet him." said Yagami. I could tell he was the father of Light Yagami, based on his name and that he was with the task force.
This was the entire task force, with the exception of one? "Yes, this is all of us." Ryuuzaki said. I had a confused face. I probably said that aloud, didn't I? "Yes, you tend to have an issue of saying things aloud without your knowing." Ryuuzaki stated the obvious. "Wow, Sherlock. Nice observation." I complimented sarcastically.
L gave out a scowl, well a scowl in his features. I couldn't get past the fact that he looked like a panda. "Thank you for your sarcasm, but if you keep it up, I will send you back to your room." he said, back with his emotionless face. "You wouldn't keep a girl confined would you?" I said in a challenging voice. "I will if I have a reason." he shot back. "Okay, guys. That's enough. Uh...Alex, do you want to help me organizing these folders?" Matsui said with a shy grin. "Fine, only because I'm bored. Got it?" I said turning from L. He can be annoying sometimes. Matsui nodded his head, like I was his boss. He still had a blush on. "How old are you again, Matsui?" I asked with suspicion. "I'm twenty-six." he stated with enthusiasm. "So, you're twenty-six and still blushing like a high school girl?" I asked amused.
L was amused at this, too. He just didn't show it. But I still see it in his eyes. "Uh.." Matsui started scratching the back of his head nervously. "Never mind, let's just get to work. This shouldn't take long. I hope." I mumbled. I sat beside him at a long, glass table with leather, swivel chairs going around it. I looked at the files and how it said 'Top Secret.' "Are you sure your supposed to let a Kira suspect see top secret files on the Kira case?" I asked in suspicion. "It is alright since I intend to have you help with the Kira case." L said. "Why would a suspect help with a case?" I asked. "If you are Kira, then I could see your reactions to whatever might come up in the future and have evidence that you are Kira, and if you are not Kira, then it would be beneficial to the case if we had your help.
"So the world's greatest detective needs my help? That's not something you hear everyday." I said amused. L ignored my comment and went back to eating his sweets and thinking in that non-stop thinking machine he calls a brain. I looked back a the files and started separating them like this: times of death, place of death, how the criminals' names were broadcast, the names of the criminals, suspects, the names of the FBI agents who were killed by Kira, who the agents followed, and the task force members' families' names. "When did Kira kill fourteen FBI agents and why do you have the task force members' families' names in these files?" I asked L. "Kira learned the FBI agents' names and killed them all, since one of those FBI agents could have been following them. The task force families are in their because somehow, at the beginning of the case, information about Kira was leaked out to Kira and I came up with the conclusion that it wasn't the task force members who were Kira, but one of their families. Not to mention, we have evidence that Kira is a student. That is one of the reasons why I suspect Light of being Kira. And since you are a student, too, I suspected you as well." he explained while watching my every move.
"One more question." I said. "Yes?" he answered in a question form and not at all annoyed from me asking so many questions. "Why are we separating these files, again?" I asked. "It is to keep organized documents in case we need the information later and for evidence." he gave a quick answer. "Why aren't you doing any work?" I asked suspiciously. "I analyze the files every day to come to any new conclusions on the Kira case. At least to help me out, you could organize the files, so it would be quicker." he said being cocky. I sighed and continued my work. "I never said I would help." I mumbled.
It was now 11:00 p.m. and L was watching some videos that 'Kira' sent to Sakura T.V. station. I didn't see how he couldn't be sleepy. I was watching, trying to catch up on the Kira case. Yes, I was helping with the Kira case. I at least need to pass the time. As I listened, I started to drift asleep on the couch. Finally, I completely fell into unconsciousness.
L POV.
I was watching the videos in which the second Kira sent to Sakura when I heard soft snoring. I looked over to see Alex sound asleep. I smiled a very small smile. Very small. I thought about what has happened up until now. The only thing I could conclude was that their was a second Kira and this Kira was infatuated with the original. Until the evidence on the videos came back, that was my only conclusion. I looked at Alex again got her a blanket from the couch in the other room and laid it over her. This case was going to go on for a while. Alex's percent of being Kira is the lowest, but it is still worth looking into. I may only suspect her just to suspect her. She is mysterious, but easy to read. Yes, this case will take a while. It will take a lot to figure her out.
