Lights POV
Ryuk chuckled as they left the house for the day. Light chose to ignore the shinigami, hoping to seem less suspicious to the man tailing him. After all, as long as he was being tailed there's no telling how many times he was seen talking to himself. Together the two walked to the bus station where Light was greeted by a classmate.
'Sure a date would surely make him think you're not guilty Light.' Ryuk thought amusedly. The human girl Light was accompanying was jumping around happily and hanging strangling Light's arm as a clear sign to tell all the other females around he was her date and no one else's.
Light glanced at the corner of his sight as they boarded the bus and was happy to confirm he was still being followed. To be honest Light had difficulties coming up with a plan to use the shadow to his advantage. Several plans were made but couldn't successfully be used without writing someone's name in the notebook. Ryuk made sure to come up with quite a few. Light denied every single one of them. You can't make apples rain from the sky can you? Well Light certainly seemed to think so. Ryuk scanned the bus as Light chatted with the human girl when suddenly a face caught his eye. One he saw specifically reported over the past few days.
"Light." Ryuk addressed Light as the man rose from his seat and pointed a gun at the bus occupants. People screamed as he ranted on about hijacking, spaceland, and money. Light's plan definitely didn't involve a known criminal being aboard the bus.
"Light!" Yuri, the human girl whined.
"It's okay, when he gets close enough I'm going to grab his gun." Light told her.
"No don't." The shadow, warned them from the backseat. "The most it will accomplish is getting you and everyone else on this bus killed.
"What." Yuri, again with the whining.
"How do I know we can trust you?" Light questioned.
"What do you mean Light?" Yuri stuttered.
"It's a common occurrence-one person plays as the hijacker while the other plays the helpful hero." Light tells her.
"You don't really think he's apart of this too do you?" Yuri leaned further up in her seat as she said this, clearly trying to get as far away from the man as she could.
The shadow looked worried and pressed for time. He conceded holding his badge up to the two teenagers. "I'm an officer, do not do anything to get you or your friend harmed-just sit silently till this guy is gone."
Suddenly the criminal was holding his gun in Light's face and yelling about "people passing notes trying to be brave." The criminal picked up a piece of paper Light had dropped and resulted to merely throwing it back down and muttering to himself as he returned to the front of the bus.
It didn't take long before the man started screaming and pointing his gun to the back of the bus. "Monster!" The man screamed as he shot into the back of the bus. Everyone screamed as Penber yelled for cover. The rest of the moment happened in a flash for Light-the only thing he could remember seeing was the crushed and blood splattered body staring at him from outside the bus.
Penber and Light both agreed to stay silent on the events that had transpired on the bus before leaving the scene. Light took Yuri home and went back to his house to ponder over the events that had just transpired in the last hour.
"I must say you played your part exceedingly well Penber." L said as the detective entered the room.
"Indeed…however?" The detective hesitated.
"Hm?"
"The fugitive…"
"A mere staging produced from my own horrendous imagination-they found Kiichiro Osoreda in the subway last night and have yet to release the information. To my own advantage and the Japanese Task Force we imitated a dramatic bus hijacking in order to see the Yagami's reaction."
Raye nodded and was alerted to look to the door where Naomi stood holding several documents.
L directed his attention to the woman and request her to alert Watari, "It is time to bring in the Task Force."
The detectives all sat awkwardly on the hotel sofa's, staring at the man before them. Black hair, pasty white skin, barefoot, and an obvious two sugarcubes away from diabetes.
"Okay then- now that we are through with the introductions. I'll lay it out straight to you." L said. The men all nodded to him.
"I want to put cameras in Chief Yagami's household."
