Chapter 46
May 22nd (Con)
As I open the door to our suite it's no surprise that Ryuzaki is standing on the other side, waiting. Despite having seen the Shinigami in the morning I'd been forced to keep up appearances and stay with the group all day. And like a child who knows their parent is going out to get them a toy, Ryuzaki doesn't waste any time with pleasantries before bombarding me with questions.
"Were you able to see a Shinigami? Did you locate the second Kira? Did Light interact with the second Kira? What did the Shinigami say-" I stop from bending down to take my boots off and look at him annoyed. My time with the cinnamon roll and Matsuda not only wore my patience thin but drained me of all my energy; finding 2.0 in the beginning made for an exhausting rest of the day.
"Oh, hi there Ryuzaki. My day was exhaustingly wonderful, thanks for asking." I roll my eyes and finish kicking off my boots before making a b-line for the kitchen and fridge.
I'm need caffeine, now.
Semi-stunned Ryuzaki follows me with his hands in his pockets. As I enter the kitchen Watari turns with a smile already on his face and I can't help but think he heard what I said at the door. I open the fridge, take out a dew and bring it to the island, that all our suites seem to be equip with, before popping that bitch open and chugging most of it. Ryuzaki waits for me to finish and when I'm done I set the can next to me and lean my back against the counter with my arms folded. Before I say anything, I give a sigh and try to collect my thought.
"Yes, I did in fact see another Shinigami." A small smile starts to show on his face and he waits for me to continue. "Physically, it was much different than Ryuk. While Ryuk is mostly black and blue and quite frankly looks like he belongs in some vampire based heavy metal band, this one looks like it was made of bone and reminded me of a mummy. However, it did seem to be as tall as Ryuk…" He nods following my every word. "This one was following what looked like a high school girl. She was only a few inches shorter than me, had glasses and short hair; like a bob. The reason I thought she might be a high schooler was because she was in a sailor suit. Actually, when she came out of the café, the Note Blue, she ran right into Matsuda and I have no doubt she did it on purpose 'cause when we were walking away the Shinigami asked her why she did it. She never responded though, or at least I didn't hear it." His smile disappears, and I know what he's thinking. "Don't worry I waved for Light and his friends to go on without us so the two never communicated. Matsuda and I never mentioned out alias' either so even if that girl was 2.0 and could see our real names, there was no reason for her to suspect anything." He nods again, seeming relaxed and content with how I handled the situation.
I sigh, feeling exhausted beyond belief and pick up my can before heading toward the living room where I can relax on the couch; Ryuzaki tails behind. Once we reach the living room I set my can down on the coffee table and flop down on the couch, laying the way I always do, with my head on the armrest and my feet stretched out. Ryuzaki hesitates for a moment, but then comes over, lifts my feet, sits down normal, and then places my black socked feet in his lap. I'm shocked, but it fades as he starts asking questions again.
"You're absolutely sure she didn't know your identity was fake? Or that you're a part of the task force?" I nod.
"There's no way she could have known."
But I still don't know why she ran into Matsuda…why bring attention to yourself like that?
"What about Light? Did she have any direct contact with him?" I shake my head no.
"Like I said, they didn't communicate directly, but if she's 2.0 and can see his name, what's stopping her from writing it down and researching it when she gets home? Light's enrolled in To-Oh, won't that show up when you search his name? She could just meet him there…" He frowns and rests one arm on my leg and puts his other thumb to his mouth, thinking.
Won't sitting like this drop his ability by 40%?
"Yes, that is a distinct possibility, but if I remember correctly, we don't yet know how the second Kira could pick out Light as the original Kira…and unfortunately, without this information, we're stuck." I nod annoyed.
How could she tell the difference? Ryuk said that I was the only human with the ability to see Shinigami without touching their respective death note, so it's not like she can see Ryuk…but maybe that white Shinigami told her he was there? Am I missing an important detail about Shinigami vision? Would Ryuk even tell me if I asked? Ugh! I'm just spinning my wheels here!
"All we're gonna accomplish by speculating is a headache, so let's put it on the back burner and I'll try to talk to Ryuk later about it; maybe bribe him with some more apples or something…In the meantime we'll just have to wait for her to make a move, after all we still have Shibuya and the dome, maybe she'll pop up again and we can question her." He nods, and I lean my head back against the armrest and cross my arms over my stomach before closing my eyes.
I don't want to go to Shibuya and the dome, but if she doesn't make a move I won't have much of a choice.
I can sell Watari making me some form of delicious dinner, but at this point, I'm so tired I don't know if I can stay awake long enough to eat it. Something touches my foot and I instinctively pull it back and my eyes shoot open. Ryuzaki's hands fly up and he looks like he's been caught. I raise my eyebrow at him curiously.
"What were you doing?" He lets his hands fall gently and looks hurt, but I don't give him back my foot.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should have asked first, but you seem so stressed I thought a foot massage might help." I gently lower my foot, but don't give it to him all the way.
"A foot massage?" There's skepticism in my voice, but he ignores it.
"Yes, I thought that because you seemed stressed that it might help relax you…to be honest I think I'm quite good at this." I look him up and down.
A foot massage? From Ryuzaki? I mean I guess I have been wound pretty tight since this case started, I guess it couldn't hurt…
I gently give him my foot back and he smiles, seeing happy with my decision. He turns his body slightly so he's able to get a better angle and once again the thought that the persona that is Ryuzaki, with his eccentric ways might be an act and the true L underneath is much different.
Ryuzaki takes my foot in his hand and gently pushes into my arch, massaging it in circles. I cringe and try to pull away as he hits a tender spot, but he holds my foot tight.
"Try to relax and you'll get used to it." I huff a little and try to go back to my sleeping position I was in earlier.
I need a nap…I can feel my body relaxing as the knots that I didn't know feet could get come undone. Ryuzaki wasn't wrong he is good at this.
I hear muffled voices, but I don't catch what they say, all I know is that for the first time in forever, well since my birthday, I'm really really relaxed.
Hi everyone, I'm back! Oh wow look at all the comment's I better start right away! But let's check faves and follows first! New Favorites include; Julia Gowin and DarkAngel2581 ! Thanks for favoriting guys! Now to the followers! Emerald180, sisencetoaha, and lol DarkAngel581 ! Thanks for the follow! NO onto the comments!
ShiroeKuroe Chapter 44 - Awe i'm one of your favorites and you binged!? That's awesome! Lol as for a few months, i think it's been a year now since i dropped this into Fanfic ^^" so i been working on it for quite some time now. And as far as the ending goes that was something i wanted to talk to evryone about. I feel like i'm so close to the end, if you think about it what's really left? Misa? The Yotsuba Arc? I feel like we're on a rollercoaster ride and i'm in the front row, this story is driving itself and i don't think i'll work on my other fics until it's done. I wanted to hit 90 chapters before the story ended but i think it might be less than that. But don't fret my lovlies i have plenty in store for all of you. I"m also in the process of coming up with a new cover but i dont have a lot of time to work on it and it's an adaptation of the naomi misora chapter cover ^^ so there is a lot of coloring to do. ALSO you're very welcome for the shoutout i love my fans!
Kiralawliet1 Chapter 44 - OMG my story is your favorite too?! I'm super stoked i love hearing that. There are so many fics and for yoy guys to say you loved mine over some of the others (that i myself probably love) is just amazing. I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING! Awe i'm glad to hear my skattered updates gives you motivation to write lol. the key is to at least write down the idea that you have when you have it, even when it's just in phone notes. I have so many scattered notes and pages for this book it's disgusting XD And no one is asking you to be perfect :) DO you see how many spelling errors i make? XD As long as you get your story out there you can go back later and edit it! SO keep on writing. I think it was Brue Lee who said "Don't fear the man who knows 1,000 techniques, but fear the man who has practiced one technique 1,000 times." In short Kitty terms this translates to, if you think you suck keep on practicing because if you do you wont suck for very long :D It's crude but true. LMFAO i want to use myself as an example, GO read the Kingdom Hearts story i have on my page that says discontinued, then read Kingdom Hearts the Extra, that will show you how you can improve if you keep doing what you love...i sound like a damn fortune cookie but it's true.
Trebor LLarrow Chapter 43 - XD the shinigami eyes, you liked that? I was thinking of that part in the original Avengers where Tony is going on about how the villain wants his name in the sky and then stops cause his Stark tower lol i thought it was fitting.
DarkAngel2581 Chapter 44- Awe i'm so glad you're enjoying it!
Well that looks like that's it for now, i hope you like these chapters i know they're short but i don't have much to work with with the anime and manga the way they are so i just kinda gotta do whatever the story tells me too. :D I will see you next time!
