Light sat near the back with Raye Penber behind him, if he remember correctly then the lawyer man and potentially Kira would get on the bus two stops from his and then Osoreda was the stop after. On his lap, he had his sketchbook with a light outline of the lawyer's face sketched onto the paper and was ready to fill in the details once the lawyer appeared. It wasn't like he could get away with taking a picture of the man so drawing him was his next best solution. It was a good thing that Light was pretty good at drawing, as for when he was younger before his father had forced him to focus on studying and working towards becoming a police officer he had spent most of his time drawing. He always found it relaxing and at one point hoped he could become a professional artist, hell he even entered some of his work into competitions under an alias and won first prize. Not that he could ever confess to it, his father believe drawing was for little children and girls. Light disagreed but nevertheless, he kept art a secret hobby.
The bus stopped and the lawyer climbed on. Light's eyes slowly travelled upwards to reveal his name - Teru Mikami. Light jotted his name down on his sketchbook before he started to draw. Mikami must have so connection to Kira, his lifespan was there but that didn't mean that he didn't give Kira Raye Penber's name unless Mikami was under the control of the death note too. Light was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt the bus stop and Osoreda climbed aboard.
"Stay in your seats unless you want to die" Osoreda shouted, Light heard Raye take a sharp intake of breath in but what interested Light the most was Mikami. He didn't look scared or worried with their situation at all. Osoreda spoke up again "Everybody, shut up. If anybody moves, I'm putting a bullet in their head. All right driver, you listen to me. I know you've got the number for Spaceland's office on you. Call'em". Light stopped paying attention to Osoreda after all he was more interested in what Kira's accomplice would do next. Light expressed a worried look when Mikami looked over at him just like he had done the first time around. Mikami smiled at him pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote something down before passing the paper over to Light.
'Don't be scared. As soon as he turns around. I'm gonna grab the gun out of his hand' Mikami wrote and Light nodded before passing the piece of paper back. He needed to play along.
"Don't be stupid. That's risky. If it comes to that, I'll take care of it" Raye spoke up, reading the message from over Light's shoulder. A sinister look appeared on Mikami's face before he said.
"Do you have any proof that you not his accomplice? Why should we trust you?. I mean I've seen cases like this before. The first hijacker comes in like he is working alone, meanwhile a second one pretends to be a hostage and stays in the very back just in case something goes wrong" Mikami spoke and Light could see that Raye was conflicted just like before, soon he would reveal he was an FBI agent and die at the hands of Kira, or he would if Light hadn't lived this before.
"I trust you. My father is an NPA cop and he always told me to trust people. You seem trustworthy enough but nevertheless if he was an accomplice or not. He could have some fake ID which would fool someone. It's what I would do if I was an accomplice, if you wanted someone to trust you but without compromising your identity you would show some fake ID" Light said, Mikami looked annoyed before he could say anything a piece of paper dropped from his pocket and Light's heart jumped. Could that be the same note from earlier or a different one. Light reached down lightly brushing his fingers against the piece of paper which caught Osoreda's attention. Light sat up leaving the piece of paper on the floor.
"Don't move, you little punk. What the hell is that? You guys were planning something back here, weren't you?" Osoreda shouted and Light saw bend down. He stormed over and for a second Light wondered whether everything would still play out as it previously had. Would he die if Osoreda shot him now? Osoreda snatched the piece of paper up from the floor and read it.
"Plans for a date. Stupid kid" Osoreda said dropping the piece of paper back onto the floor and Mikami bent down to scoop it back up. Then it happened Osoreda turned around and he screamed.
"W-who the hell are you? You in the very back. What do you think you're doing? Don't mess with me. How long have you been hiding back there?" Osoreda said grabbing his gun and pointing it to something behind Light.
"What's this? You are talking to me? So, you mean you can see me right now? Oh, I get it. That little note that Mikami accidentally dropped was torn from the pages of the death note itself, since he tricked this guy into touching the paper, he's the only one on the bus who can see me. That's so smart. Sorry, pal. I'm a Shinigami, so I'm afraid your bullets aren't gonna kill me. Anyone who touches the death note can see me. I have to stay till the death note is finished or I see you die, whichever comes first, and a Shinigami can't die from being shot…" an unfamiliar voice said which sent shivers down Light's spine. Light finally convinced himself to turn his head around to see what Osoreda was seeing and his heart stopped. Right in front of him was a Shinigami, there was no doubt about it. It had light-grey skin, with spiky black hair and bright round yellow eyes with red irises and large wings on his back. This had to be Kira's Shinigami, the original one who dropped its death note into the world in the first place. Light snapped his head back around when he heard screams, Osoreda had jumped off the bus and was hit by a car. He was dead. The whole road came to a standstill as the remaining passengers piled off the bus.
"Come with me" Light said to Penber the second they got off the bus. He couldn't waste any second longer just in case Mikami tried to get Raye's name again. Light dragged Raye off, to only through a quick glance over his shoulder to see whether Mikami was following but to his surprise Mikami wasn't looking in their direction instead he was typing furiously on his phone. The Shinigami on the other hand was staring right at Light with creepy expression on it's face which Light couldn't describe any better than it looked weirdly happy. Why a god of death would look happy Light had no idea. Stashing that information into the back of his mind, Light pulled Raye out of sight of the other passengers and disappeared into the crowd.
"What are you doing?" Raye finally said, he was beyond confused. Light Yagami who hadn't shown any signs that he had noticed that he was being followed, and now he was currently pulling Raye away from the scene of the bus jacking acting completely different from what Raye had witnessed from him. It was like Light Yagami had become a completely different person once the bus jacking had occurred which was suspicious. Did Yagami know that the bus jacking was going to happen if so why? How? So many questions were running through Raye's mind and the only person who could answer them Raye wasn't sure he could trust.
"I'm sorry for suddenly dragging you away like that but you're in danger so, is there anywhere we can go, and I promise I'll explain everything when we get there. It's not something we can discuss out in the open trust me" Light said. Raye stayed quiet for a moment, did he really have a choice, Light obviously knew more than he was letting on, but then again could Raye really trust him, he could lie about all of it and still make it sound believable. He sighed. He had no choice if wanted answers and what FBI agent didn't investigate leads which could lead to Kira. Yagami knew something and Raye had a job to do.
"Follow me" Raye said, and they walked to the apartment which he and Naomi were currently renting out before they could find their own place in Japan. Naomi's parents lived in Japan and it had been Naomi's dream to own a house in both America and Japan so they could visit both countries as much as they wanted.
The walk to his apartment was quiet neither Light nor himself tried to make any conversation after all what were they supposed to talk about the nice weather they were having? Raye was umming and ahhing over whether he should message Naomi to give her the heads up but decided against it, she would only ask two many questions to which Raye didn't have the answers to. When they arrived at his apartment, Raye took one last at Light seemingly trying to decide whether this was the right idea. Light seemed to pick up on Raye's nerves and turned to give him a reassuring smile which brought something else to Raye's attention. He hadn't seen Light blink once, was this guy just really good at holding his eyes open because Raye had been following him for days now and he hadn't noticed Light ever blinking. Raye pushed the front door open and was instantly greeted from Naomi who was sat in a chair reading a book, her eyes went straight to Light.
"Raye what's going on" the woman said, Light decided to spare her a glance. The red words floating above her head said Naomi Misora. Ah that makes sense, the woman who went missing was Raye Penber's fiancée from the looks of the engagement ring on her finger, after her fiancé death she must have tried to find Kira and ended up dying because of it. Raye shrugged at Naomi, he had no clue what was going on, the man who was a potential Kira suspect seemed to think he was in danger.
"Miss Misora…" Light started, both Raye and Naomi tensed. Obviously worried how Light knew her name after all they hadn't introduce themselves. Light gave them both an innocent smile before continuing "your fiancé Mr Penber nearly gave his identity away to an associate of Kira. Now I understand you both have plenty of questions but first I need some quiet. I need to draw the Shinigami that I saw" and with that Light opened his sketchbook turning to a clean page and got to work ignoring the concerned looks he was getting from Miss Misora and Mr Penber.
