He could never completely trust that what this Shinigami told him was true, but the pieces she offered up were too perfect a fit to not take into consideration. That she would lie was also carefully considered in conjunction. Logic could discount neither without tangible confirmation.
Multiple Shinigami. Multiple notes. Brought to the human world by Shinigami who also carry their own Death Note. Humans and Shinigami can kill using the Note. Notes can accidentally fall into human hands, more likely to have been given. A plan? One of the rules in the Death Note is fake.
Would a Shinigami kill for a human?
“I see. I thought you would say that.” He stopped the methodical stacking of dice, each edge perfectly aligned with the one beneath and instead reached up to slide white strands between his fingers in a pure display of thought. His eyes fell beneath a skewed fringe, hiding the concentration that creased his brow.
“I’m going to give you a scenario. If you wish, tell me what you think.”
“A Shinigami comes to the human world and brings a Note. This Note is not the Shinigami’s own but another. This Note falls to a human who begins killing under the guise of Kira. A second Shinigami appears with a second Note, given to another human who kills as the second Kira. Kira and the second Kira meet up and begin working as one. A fake rule is written in the Note, suggesting collaboration with a Shinigami.”
He tipped his head, watching her carefully. “Both Kira and the second Kira were being investigated by the Japanese task force. The detective working in collaboration with the task force was killed while both Kira’s were being observed, consequently freeing both from suspicion. However, the detective was killed by a Shinigami. In that case–.” He held up the Death Note that had come into their hands, the Shinigami before him visible only once the members of the SPK had touched it.
“–The SPK getting hold of the Note and the Shinigami who brought it is part of Kira’s plan.”
Once again, she hold her silence. Had she given Misa away? Was she now in danger? Had in her lust to try to protect Misa, even from herself, just sentenced her to death? But her silence was just as condemning. Perhaps instead she should suggest a modification to these thoughts.
“An intriguing scenario. And yet the fact that we are talking at all suggests that if this was the one known as Kira’s plan, something went wrong. I will tell you something about the Shinigami realm. Wither it has interest to you, I know not, but do not take it for granted. Not often do Shinigami speak of their home.”
She turns to face him, yellow eyes staring downward at him, lips frowning fiercely.
“It is a barren place. There are a number of shinigami and their king who rules them, and yet it seems most of the laws concern the note, and how it is to be used. We watch the humans, but laziness has long since spread, and we gamble and laze away even as you humans grow and change. There are not many shinigami who watch the humans, but those who do are entranced to interfere. A note, perhaps. Other ways. In a way we are forced to interest ourselves in what you do. It is unheard of to take an interest in a singular human. And yet it is also unheard of to view you humans.”
Perhaps he would understand that she meant she was here because of a human. A second death note. The second Kira was under her watch. An unspoken threat.
“Returning to your scenario, there is one error. Your guardian Watari lives. A shinigami working for kira would have killed both of them, possibly in an attempt to avoid you getting so close to solving the pieced your detective left.”
