Chapter 29

Welcome back to DNTOS where the tension is high and so is Ryuzaki's blood sugar. HAHA…that was bad. Well here we are at what I think is the last 'filler' Chapter/Episode. Are you ready? Let's go.

"It's nothing…the barista at the café mistook us for a couple…"

"Would that really be so bad?"

No Ryuzaki…I don't think it would be bad at all.

. . .

March 20th

It's almost lunchtime, the team and I have been working tirelessly trying to find anything new to present to Ryuzaki. He's been in a bad mood lately; he says it's because we're stuck and there's no new evidence, no clues to go on…he says that Kira is toying with us. He's killing one criminal on the hour every hour day in and day out.

Ryuzaki and I have been talking about suspects, we both agreed that Light Yagami is the most likely suspect and he might be Kira….he's just…too perfect….too innocent…and then there's the Shinigami, but until we start attending To-Oh there's not much we can find out about him.

Ryuzaki says his plan is to befriend Light and reveal himself as L. I was immediately against this, but he said that with me as a witness Kira wouldn't dare kill him…immediately. Which makes sense…unless he kills us both…but then the task force would figure it out eventually. Ryuzaki said that it might be beneficial to have Light meet the task force or join us, because even though I can confirm L is Ryuzaki, Light doesn't know me and might think I'm being paid to say so. Naturally it would have to be the Chief who would confirm for Light…but that's in the future…Right now my job is to listen and watch the Shinigami to see if I can get information from it, without letting on that I can see it. The entire plan is dangerous...extremely dangerous, but we really don't have another choice. Ryuzaki says this is the first time that he's ever put his life on the line like this-

"Suzuki…why don't you take a break. You've been staring like that at the screen for the last ten minutes." I blink semi-startled and rub my eyes as I lean back in my chair. I follow the sound of the voice to my right to see my familiar ebony haired, panda faced companion staring at me with a lollipop in his mouth.

Ryuzaki…

I yawn and stretch my arms out, they pop and feel nice as they stretch. I'm tired, and as I begin to realize it I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"Yeah…a break sounds like a great idea." I lean back a bit more then decide to stand. I stretch my arms again and as I turn my body to crack my back Watari enters the room, the mail is in his hands catching my eye.

"Ryuzaki, I stopped by the post box today, and to my surprise there were two envelopes inside." I'm instantly curious and he has my full attention.

"Who are they from Watari?" I turn and place my hand on my hip as I speak.

"Well that part you can guess by who they're addressed to…" For a minute I'm confused.

What does that mean…?

"One is to a Hideki Ryuga and the other a Suzuki Matsui."

"Wait! They're from To-Oh!? They must be our exam results!" Watari smiles at my excitement and hands me my envelope.

"Do you wish to open yours Ryuzaki, or shall I?" Watari asks lightly, I stand and look back and forth between the two.

"Go ahead Watari, open it." Ryuzaki doesn't seem nearly as excited as I am. He probably already knows he got like a perfect score or something. Watari nods and uses his finger to open the envelope. He takes a minute to read the letter then smiles.

"Well done Ryuzaki, it seems you've achieved a perfect score on all of your exams. It also says that you are to give a speech at the entrance ceremony as a freshman representative with another student." Watari smiles. "Oh my, sounds like competition." My jaw nearly hits the floor.

I can't believe it…he got 100% on all the exams? That's insane. He must be crazy smart…I wonder how I did…

I glance down at the envelope in my hands.

Should I open it?

"What's goin' on in here?" I look up and make eye contact with Matsuda as he and the rest of the team enters the room. I lift up my envelope.

"Exam results…" His eyes widen and he quickly makes his way to me.

"This is so exciting! How did Ryuzaki do?" Matsuda gets a little too close to me and I glance at Ryuzaki.

"He got a perfect score of course…" My tone is quiet and I see Ryuzaki's mouth twitch as if he wanted to smile.

"That's incredible." I turn my head to see the Chief sit down.

"That's crazy Ryuzaki!" Matsuda is more excited now and then he glances to the Chief. "If he got a perfect score I wonder how Light did, he is going to the same school isn't he?" The Chief nods.

It seems Matsuda isn't privy to our plan yet, he doesn't seem to know why we applied to To-Oh. I wonder if Ryuzaki doesn't think he can trust Matsuda with the secret…

"Well Watari did say that Ryuzaki would give the speech with another student, maybe it's Light." Everyone smiles, but then Matsuda realizes that my letter is still unopened.

"C'mon Suzuki, you haven't opened your letter yet, maybe you're the other student." I look at him blankly.

No there's no way…

I sigh and stick my finger in the envelope and drag it across, tearing it open. Everyone crowds in closer, an as I scan the paper, my breath catches.

No way…

"What?! What is it! Let me see!" Matsuda takes the letter from my hands and begins to read it. "Dear Ms. Suzuki Matsui, we are happy to notify you that you've been accepted into To-Oh and we congratulate you on your test average of 98.9…" He stops and everyone gets quiet.

98.9 that's insane…my score is almost perfect…I can't believe I was able to get that high…come to think of it I wonder what test I messed up on?

"Congratulations Suzuki, I'm impressed; especially since you took the exam in a language that isn't native to you." I turn and meet Ryuzaki's onyx eyes, he smiles at me and it fills me with warmth, but his smile doesn't last long.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, you came from America didn't you? Man you've gotta be really smart, almost as smart as Ryuzaki, I bet that if the test had been in English that you would have aced it no problem!" Matsuda grabs my shoulder and shakes it slightly as he pumps his fist.

"Well done Miss." I meet the eyes of Watari and he smiles proudly at me.

"Our little girl is growing up." Aizawa sniffs and rubs non-existent tears from his eyes and I laugh lightly. I turn to expect to look at Ryuzaki, but he's already walking away. The rest of the world fades as I watch him go.

We did it Ryuzaki; your plan is beginning to fall into place.

Well that's it for this Chapter folks, I know it was short but it was only to show you all her exam score, and get you ready for 'the To-Oh arc'. I have started writing it but I haven't gotten very far so you might be waiting a little while, but I'll get it done. Don't forget that I have a Tumblr and a Deviant Art that you can check our while you wait. ^^ 'Til next time see ya.
