Death note 2
*******
“Light wait for me!” I say, running up to my best friend and jumping on his back.
“Ow, Chi you are a lot heavier than you look.”
I gasp and jump off, “That’s not funny Light Yagami!”
“Sorry,” he sends me a small glance with a little smile before leaning over and kissing my forehead.
I blush a deep red and look down at the ground, “Are you going to headquarters today?”
“Yeah, Ryuga wanted to go over some more things.”
“Ryuga? Is that another alias of his?”
“Yes, L has quite a few. If only we could learn his real name...”
I glance up at him, confused, “Why would it matter? Neither of us are Kira, plus I think it’s smart that he chooses to use an alias.”
“Chinami, it’s not about being Kira. If he completely trusts me than he should have no problem whatsoever with me knowing his real name.”
“Light, Ryuzaki is just being careful. No one else on the task force knows his real name. I think using an alias would be the best way to go, I know with being a very valuable detective and all, I would use an alias too, if I were in the same situation that is.”
He looks very taken aback, “Who’s side are you on in this Chi? I’ve been your best friend for years and you just met this guy a week ago. You two haven’t spoken a word to one another besides that one day and now all of a sudden you’re in love with the guy!
I gasp and cover my face, I am not in love with Ryuzaki! How could he say such an outrageous thing?
“I am not in love with Ryuzaki! Why would you say something stupid like that you big oaf?!” I yell, slapping his shoulder many times.
“You wouldn’t be acting like this if I said you were in love with Matsuda.”
“I’m not ‘in love’ with anyone! You know you’re such a jerk sometimes! I’m going back to my place. I’ll see you at headquarters.”
As I run the opposite way we were walking I hear Light shouting from behind me, “Chinami, you don’t even know if you’re allowed to be there!”
Once I arrive at my apartment, I run in and shut the door behind me. I’m seventeen and living on my own. My mother was killed in a car accident when I was a baby and my father left for America a few years ago. He told me not to worry, he’d be back. When I came home from school the next day, he was gone. I’ve been on my own since I was twelve. There’s no problem with it, I can take care of myself. I get a check every month that is supposed from my father but I don’t buy it. I don’t think he’s actually sending the money. But the money pays for the rent and all the utilities. I have some left over to buy food and after that a little for myself. I used to use it to buy clothes and things but I’ve been saving it.
“Stupid, stupid Light. He always says the stupidest things. I am not in love with Ryuzaki! I just met him. Of course I could hold a conversation with him but what would say if I did? I’d just make a fool out of myself.”
I walk into my bathroom intending to take a shower. I glance at the clock on my desk, 5:37 pm. Perfect. I have about half an hour to get ready before jumping on a bus to headquarters. I smile and proceed with my shower. I make sure to clean everywhere and shave. When I get out of the shower I smile at my reflection. Having self care days are what allow me to feel good about myself all of the time. Feeling good about myself, is my key to happy living. Especially when I’m by myself most of the time.
I get dressed in my usual black dress and stockings and I’m off to catch the 6:15 bus to headquarters. I smile at the driver as the bus doors open.
“Here’s my pass sir.”
“Thank you miss. You may sit anywhere you’d like.”
“Thank you sir.”
I sit in one of the front seats seeing as my drop off is one of the first ones. It takes about twenty minutes to get there. Once the bus arrives I stand up, ready to make my departure.
I turn towards the driver before stepping off the last step, “Thank you for the ride sir.”
“Of course, have a nice night young lady.”
“You too sir! Don’t push yourself too hard.”
I smile and wave as the bus driver pulls away. Turning around, I smile at the building before walking up to the doors. I pull on one of the handles but the door stays closed. Huh? I pull on it again, it doesn’t budge. I push and once again, no movement. I glance inside and notice an old man walking past the door.
“Hey! Hey wait! Sir could you let me in?” I knock on the door twice to get his attention.
He glances up at me, and walks towards the door. As he opens it, he speaks to me, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize anyone else was supposed to be showing up tonight.”
“No no it’s quite alright. Is Light inside?”
“Yes, but-“
“How rude of me! I’m sorry I never properly introduced myself. I’m Chinami Misora, and you are?”
He glances at me, “Watari.”
“Well it’s very nice to meet you Watari. I’m actually looking for the Kira Task Force. Would you happen to know where they are?”
“Why, yes. I could take you to them.”
“I would very much appreciate that.”
I follow the old man down a set of hallways.
“You shouldn’t introduce yourself to everybody. Real names and faces are dangerous right now.”
I glance at the man, “Huh?”
“Kira, he needs a name and a face. That’s all. They figured that out last meeting. I just want you to be careful. You seem like such a nice girl.”
“Thank you very much Watari. Are you saying I should use an alias?”
“I wouldn’t say a complete alias. A shortened version of your name will do.”
“Chi? Hm Chi Misoni?”
I hear him hum, I suppose that’s a sound of approval.
“Chi?”
“Yes Watari?”
“Would you help me with this tray of sweets?”
I turn towards the man to see him grabbing a tray off of a cart. The tray has many chocolate covered strawberries along with cupcakes on it.
“Are those for Ryuzaki?”
He nods his head.
“Could I- could I try one?”
“Of course.”
I smile and grab a strawberry from the corner of the tray. As I bite the tip of the strawberry a mixture of sweet chocolate and strawberry juice fills my mouth. Strawberries just so happen to be my absolute favorite.
“Mmm these are really good. I think Ryuzaki will love them.”
“Yes, he does have a particular taste for strawberries.”
“So do I! They’re my favorite.”
I see Watari form a small smile, “Alright let’s bring these to L.”
We walk down a few more hallways before Watari opens a door. I peek around him to see Light, L, Chief Yagami, Matsuda, Aizawa, and a few others from the task force.
“Ryuzaki, you have a visitor.” Watari says, stopping.
“Huh?” Ryuzaki turns to look as us, “Oh hello, you’re back.”
“Um,” I walk towards L and set the tray of strawberries in front of him, “These are for you. Watari said to bring them to you.”
He looks up at me and gives me a small smile, “Yes thank you, I quite enjoy strawberries.”
“Chinami! What are you doing here? I told you that you weren’t allowed to come!” Light says, pushing me away from L and standing between us.
“I- I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude I just-“
“Light,” starts Ryuzaki, “move aside please.”
Light looks behind him at Ryuzaki and glares but steps aside none the less.
“Chinami, come closer.”
I take a deep breath and step towards L, “Yes Ryuzaki?”
“What do you think about the Kira case? I’d love to see how you feel about this whole thing. I will stay here and go over the notes that we have with you. Than I will ask you for your thoughts and I want you to be honest about everything.”
I nod my head and give him a small smile.
“Alright, Matsuda grab a chair for her, you are all dismissed. You may all go home.”
“No way!”
I turn around to look at Light.
“No way in hell am I letting her stay here with you Ryuzaki! For all I know you’ll question her about me and then she’ll feel uncomfortable here. I don’t trust you with her.”
“Light I’ll be fine, Ryuzaki doesn’t scare me. I promise I’ll be okay.” I say, walking up to Light and hugging him. As I move away I feel him kiss my forehead.
“Are you sure? I’ll stay I don’t-“
“No Light, I’ll be fine,” I lean up to kiss his cheek, “thank you though.”
I see a light blush form on his cheeks. He nods and let’s go of me. Most of the other team members have left. I wave to Light and his father as they walk out. Turning back to L, I find him already looking at me.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” I say, hurrying to sit in the chair beside him.
“No need to apologize, I was just thinking.”
“Thinking? About what?”
“Your relationship with Light. Is he usually like this? Very protective of you. How deep are your feelings for each other?”
“Oh,” I glance at the floor, my face turning a bright red, “um Light is just my best friend. I did sort of have a crush on him a while ago but I don’t feel anything like that anymore. I’m not sure about Light though, every time I say your name he gets mad at me and-“
“You two talk about me?”
I look up, my cheeks even hotter, “No that’s not what I meant! I-“
“Hey,” he touches my chin, “that’s alright. Calm down. How about we begin going over the case?”
“Mhm.”
I see Watari smile out of the corner of my eye.
“Um L?”
He turns his head towards me, “Yes?”
“Can I- can I have one of the strawberries? I’m sorry to ask but they are my favorite treat.”
I look over at rhe half eaten tray and wonder when he ate all of those. He smiles before picking one up and handing it to me.
“Thank you.” I say, sucking on the chocolate.
“Alright, so about Kira...”

This is part two of my little DeathNote series. I wanted to let you guys know that I will be writing the twins still but I’m taking a little break seeing as they have announced their “retirement” so to speak of posting YouTube videos.
