A/N: There is still time to vote on whether you want the ship or not, I'll put into action (or not in action) next weeks chapter.
On a Lighter note (get it) Light has something to say
Light: She doesn't own Death Note, to see who does check out a few of the earlier chapters.
…
I wake up earlier than usual this morning; there is a large chance Light is going to ask me to Space-Land instead of Yuri. Last night I Googled the symptoms of the sickness I was feeling. It turns out it is most probably anxiety. Figures, but it's quite strange I only feel anxious around Light. But I suppose it is because I have to watch my every move, at this point in time I'm counting on the fact Yami won't let me die before my mission is complete.
As I am checking my bag, I remember the fake ID I plan to give to Raye Penber before Light turns up at the bus station. Yes I know I am changing the storey line quite a bit and there is a slim possibility that L won't set up the cameras in Light's house and my own. But the is an even greater chance Raye will use the ID I'm going to give to him. It will save both him and Naomi, and if Raye reports it to L (which I am counting on) and L will find it that I knew he was following me (I am also going to call him Raye Penber, just make a tad more suspicious) suspicious and set the cameras up anyway.
"So your hoping Lawliet will find it suspicious that you gave Penber a fake ID on the day he showed it to Light and you. Doesn't that make you look even more suspicious than Light?" Yami asks me.
"Yeah, that's the whole point." I reply.
"Eh?"
"If I get L to suspect me more, his back will be turned on Light. That way he will probably not suspect Light as much. Remember, if I get executed I'm still counting in the fact that you won't let me die before my mission is complete." Does she really forget what she said to me a few days back?
"Oh, yeah. About the whole 'I won't let you die before your mission is complete' thing. I may have fed you a small lie."
My eyes widen and I collapse.
"But it's not as bad as you think," she continues hurriedly, "You can't be killed by the Death Note."
I get up and brush myself off, "Well, at least Light can't kill me after he finds out how much I know."
My phone rings.
I answer it, "Hey Light."
"Looks like you were right." Yami says to me.
…
I told Light I would get there ten minute earlier than him to get our tickets, I will get the tickets but my main goal is to give the false ID to Raye. I don't know why this guy is an FBI agent, or how he even got in. In truth I wouldn't mind if he died, but as a member of the audience (and the female race) I always admired Naomi for being the smarter of the two (apart from telling Light everything she knows about Kira). And as a result of Raye's death, Naomi dies as well. I want to stop that.
He is following me right now, not even trying to make his steps blend with mine, so I blend mine with his. That should give him a shock, hopefully.
I decide that I am close enough to the bus stop now. I will try to talk to him, and hopefully give him the false ID. I stop in my tracks.
"Raye Penber, I know you are following because of orders from L. I will have you know that I am not Kira." I say, not facing him.
"How, how did you know. And how do you know that you are not lying and that you really are Kira. I don't trust you."
"Seriously, giving it all away. You could have at least denied the fact that you are working for L," I sat exasperatedly I turn around to face him, his eyes are full with fear, "Any way. If I were Kira, I would have killed you by now. No I am not Kira. I am not on his side or L's"
Raye swallow's and speaks up, "Then whose side are you on?"
"My own. There are some people that I have sworn on my life I would protect. And there are few people that I left out, and I will save them. To save yourself and her, use this," I say handing him the fake ID, "Use it whenever you need to, and when you are introducing yourself to strangers use the name on this."
"How did you know about her? And why should I listen to you?" Raye asks me. He really just doesn't get it does he.
"I met Naomi in Los Angeles once, during the murder cases there. She is a very smart women, she deserves to keep her life. And onto the question of why should you listen to me, Raye your working on the Kira case. I figured out that he needs a name and face to kill; false identities are very safe when it comes down to lives." I hope he takes my advice.
"I'll use it, but I'm still reporting back to L about this incident."
"As required, but don't tell anyone apart from him about our encounter, and act like you have never talked to me before." I say.
"Ok, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"If Kira threatens you, remember he doesn't know your name, so don't give anyone else's name away, even if you are just writing it down."
He looks quite confused. I start walking towards the bus stop, I have to get those tickets after all.
…
"Hey, sorry I'm late." Light says smiling innocently, when really he just planned another murder to happen right in front of us. Yay, what a wonderful person I know.
"That's ok, to tell the that's okay, I only just got the tickets a minute ago." I say trying to force out a smile.
Raye POV
That girl confuses me. How did she figure out my name, how did she know I'm getting married to Naomi. I'm going to have to tell L all about this incident, before I thought she was a normal girl, but now I know she isn't.
Light: Time to get on the bus.
Amaya: There's not many people on the bus today is there?
Light: No, there isn't.
Amaya: Window seats mine, I get motion sickness. And last night I self diagnosed myself with a mild case of anxiety. I don't know why I have it though.
Light: I've been feeling anxious as well, it could be the exams for To-Oh coming up.
Amaya: Yeah maybe.
I keep on writing stuff down. Suddenly I hear a guy saying "Stay in your seats unless you wanna die."
Oh, no. This can't be happening here, a bus jacking.
Amaya POV
As expected the drugo walks in.
"Everybody shut up, if anybody moves I'm putting a bullet in their head." I pretend to be scared; it isn't really that hard, it just bite my nails when I'm scared which doesn't happen often. "Alright driver, you listen o me. I know you have the number for Space-Land on you. Call them."
"Uh, okay. This is Tsuzaki, calling from bus 174." The driver starts saying.
"Tell em what's going on, and no tricks either." The bus-jacker says.
"My bus is being hijacked. And he's holding a gun to my head." The frightened diver says.
The drugo takes the phone off him, "Give me that, you heard what he said. Now you listen up, have a female staff member bring all Space-Lands cash from yesterday," people are whimpering in the background, o the beauty, "I know it's there. Have her meat us two bus stops from the park, and don't make me wait. If you mess with me, or try to get the police involved, I swear I'll kill everyone one of the passengers." He yells throwing the phone down and smashing it.
I do the whimpering thing Yuri dos in the anime and Light taps me on the leg. He passes me a note. It reads- Amaya, don't be scared. As soon as he turns around I'm going to grab the gun out of his hand.
Raye leans toward us and says, "Don't be stupid, that's risky. If it comes to that I'll take care of it. It's okay, we don't need to keep parsing note back and forth. As long as we keep it down he won't be able to here our voices over the sound of the engine."
Light says the one line that kills Raye, "Do have any proof you're not his accomplice? Why should we trust you?"
"You mean when the first hijacker comes in like he is working alone, and the second pretends to be a hostage and stays at the very back in case something goes wrong." I ask Light, knowing the answer already.
"Yeah, he could be doing that." Light says.
"Here's my proof, take a look." Raye says as he hands Light the fake ID I gave him. Mission 'Save Naomi' is in action.
Light stares at the ID gawking like a goldfish, and I just peer over his shoulder. He's probably thinking in his head 'His name is Jack McCarron', what a lovely fake name I came up with. A mix of my 8th grade Geography teacher and my father's cousin's best friend.
"I trust you, and I guess for the time being I won't bother asking what an FBI agent is doing on the bus in the first place. Do you have a gun?" Light asks.
"Yeah, I've got one."
"So if it comes down to it I can rely on you right?" Light asks again. Funny. Light always asks questions but never answers truthfully if at all.
"Yes." Raye says, his voice sounding full of regret.
"Shut the hell up you old hag, do you want me to shoot you right know?" The hijacker says out of nowhere to a poor old woman.
Light reaches into his pocket and a piece of the Death Note falls out. He reaches over to get, making a really obvious groaning noise. The hijacker comes over to us.
"Don't move you little punk. What the hell is that?" The hijacker asks, pointing his gun at Light, he goes to pick the piece of paper up. "Ha, smart ass. You guys were planning something back here won't ya. Tah, plans for a date ha? Stupid kid." He says throwing back the piece of paper. Unlike in the anime, he doesn't' walk to the front, he turns around though. He sees the shadows of Ryuk and things start to get interesting.
He starts breathing really heavy and points his gun at Ryuk. "Wh-who the hell are you? You at the very back, what do you think your doing? Don't mess with me. How long have you been hiding back there?"
"What's this? You're talking to me? So you mean you can actually see me right now?" Ryuk says in an overly menacing tone.
"Stay there you." The hijacker then does something unexpected he turns to me and says, "You can see him to, can't you? It's not just me?" He yanks me over Light and holds me close to him, he smells really bad, "I'm not going mad am I, you can see him as well. Tell me you can see him." By the end of it he is yelling.
Light's POV
This isn't supposed to happen, what if Amaya gets hurt. If she gets hurt I won't be able to forgive myself for getting her involved for something as stupid as a name. I now know why when I asked Mum last night about the strange feeling in my stomach. I care for Amaya; she is like a sister to me.
"I don't know what you're talking about, please just let me go." Amaya begs him. She looks like she is in so much pain; it must be so horrible to be close to a murderer.
I have to help her, "Let her go. She doesn't know what you are talking about."
I go to get up but the hijacker says, "Anyone moves and I shoot a bullet through her head."
Ryuk says, "Oo Light. What are you going to do about this one?"
The hijacker's attention is back onto Ryuk, he shoots once, twice, three times, four times.
"You can't kill me, I'm a shinigami." Ryuk simply states.
"I need to get off this bus, stop the bus!" He does what I dread the most.
The driver stops the bus and opens the door, the hijacker runs out the door still pulling Amaya with him. It all seems to happen in slow motion. I go after them but by the time I reach the door it's too late. He trips over and she goes tumbling towards the front of the bus, then a car comes and runs him over. She is still rolling along towards the traffic. It doesn't take me a second to think, I run out the doors of the bus and towards her. I stop her from rolling and pick her up. She looks to be in pretty bad shape. I hug her close to me.
"Are you ok, did he hurt you. I swear if he hurt you, I'll get that man behind bars." I say. She starts coughing and some wet stuff goes all over my neck.
"I'm ok Light. Just a little shocked. Sorry for worrying you, and for coughing blood all onto your coat. It looks expensive." She replies, trying to sound brave.
I hold her closer and say, "It's alright to be scared you know. But, I'm here now. So nothing can hurt you."
The agent Jack McCarron comes over to us. "Are you okay?"
She get's herself out of my embrace, nods and walks over to him. She then says something in his ear before parsing out. I catch her before she falls.
"It would be best if you didn't tell anyone you met me here." He says.
"Yes, I understand."
He then walks off before the police and ambulance come over to us.
L POV
"I see, so not only did she know you were working for me, but your name and your fiancé's name. The likely hood of her being Kira has raised to just over 13%, 13.03% to be precise. This is very interesting. Did she tell or ask you anything else?" I ask Raye.
"She gave me a false ID this morning. Told me to use it because it was safest."
This was indeed very interesting, "Hmm, have you had to show this ID to anyone yet?"
"Well I had to show it to both her and Light, and Takimura's two son's got a glimpse of it when I dropped it while following them." He hangs his head in shame, as he should.
"So, in the, let's say, four hours you've had this fake ID, four people have managed to see it, your not making this easy for us, anyone of those could be Kira."
"Sorry Ryuzaki." He says, his head still low.
"That's okay. In fact the information you have given to me is very important. You can have the rest of the night off." He nods, and then leaves.
Hmm, another piece of the puzzle. Another clue. Will this one solve the case? Amaya, if you are Kira then this was a very clever move on your part, making the enemy even more suspicious so it seems ridiculous to suspect you. But I still have my suspicions on Light Yagami. His chance of being Kira is higher and lower than Amaya's at the same time, 7%. He just seems to be hiding more.
There is a nock at my door; the Japanese task force (or the remainder of it) has arrived. "You can come in now."
Amaya POV
Where am I, the last thing I remember is telling Raye to spend his night with Naomi in the restaurant I went with Light. I open my eyes to a white ceiling, my hearing is returning slowly.
"Hey, Light. She's woken up." I hear my sister Chiyoko say.
I try to get up but my left wrist is really hurting.
Light runs over to me and helps me up, "Easy there Amaya. You've sprained your wrist. There is no need to try to get up that quickly."
"Am I in hospital. Did I hurt myself after I was thrown through the air." I ask, I barely remember what happened. All I know is that Light's plan went wrong and I think Yami may have had something to do with it.
"Did you seriously forget something like that?!" Chiyoko asks me.
"Don't be so harsh on her, she just experienced a traumatising event." Light scolds my sister.
"Don't worry, a lot worse has happened to me. I've seen a few horrible things in my life. Any way, what happened?" I ask.
"Well after you passed out, we brought you here to the hospital. They did some checks on you and it turns out that you bruised a few ribs, sprained your left wrist and obviously got a few cuts here and there. Your wrist should heal in about a week to heal, you only stretched the ligaments." Light says with a genuine look of concern on his face.
"Mm, where's mum?" I ask.
"She's at work. She gave us chocolates to give to you, but most of them were eaten by me." Rie says, proudly pointing to herself.
"She said she was sorry she couldn't make it. Apparently this meeting is super important. But she did tell us to give you this." Chiyoko says, handing me my laptop.
"Thanks'," I say, I look at my watch 7pm, "You two should head home now, you don't want to be tired for school tomorrow."
"Ok, come on Rie, we need to leave now." Chiyoko says, holding here hand out to Rie.
"You should leave as well Light, you've done enough for me all ready. You should go home to your family." I say facing light. He really has done enough for me; he was the one who got me into this situation in the first place.
"No, this is my fault," you got that damn right, "I feel as though I could have protected you more. Your like a younger sister to me, I feel as though it's my job to protect you."
As soon as he says that the nervous exciting feeling comes back. While I'm at the hospital I'm going to have to ask someone about it. When Light is not around of course.
"Thanks'," I say, then I have an idea, "Hey Light, do you want to watch some anime's that I have on here?"
"Yeah sure, but you have to go to bed by eleven, no later."
I grin, a real genuine smile. With luck I can turn Light into a full fledged Otaku, mwah ha ha ha haaaa. "I think we could start with Soul Eater, or Ouran High School Host Club. Which do you want to watch first?"
"Soul Eater sounds interesting, we should start with that one first." Light says smiling.
I smile back, "Ok, Soul Eater it is."
Light POV
I like it when she smiles. She's so beautiful when she smiles.

A/N: Remember, it's not too late to say whether you want the ship or not, at the moment they are both confused about their feelings. Also, at the moment yay is wining not nay. So yeah.
