With L At The Hotel
"I apologize for questioning all of you like that, but I'm afraid I had no other choice. I've determined that Kira is not among us." L said calmly as he stared unnervingly at the group.
"Ryuzaki, how can you be certain that we are all innocent?" Soichiro asked curiously.
"Well, to be honest, from the beginning I set a number of traps that would reveal if any of you was Kira. But after speaking with you one-on-one, I don't feel the need." L responded looking slightly sheepish.
With Tsuki
"Thank you so much for everything you've done, Tsuki. I am truly grateful." Naomi said as we came to the door.
"Oh, before we go in there is something I want to say." I said shifting slightly.
"Yes?" Naomi asked slightly apprehensively.
"I am working for L. I have offered my help and L agreed." I said as close to the truth as possible.
"So, L trusts you then." Naomi whispered softly." Tsuki there is something I have to tell you. You see, the name I gave you earlier, well, it wasn't actually my real name. I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry. It's all right. To be honest, I'm impressed by how incredibly thorough you've been. You've stayed one step ahead of me. But I suppose that's just further proof of your capabilities." I said cheerfully smiling at Naomi. Naomi sighed before handing me her drivers license. I looked at the card before handing it back.
"Hey, Naomi? I have one more thing to say before we go in.....and you can't tell anyone." I said seriously. Naomi tilted her head confused but nodded slightly. I leaned forward so my mouth was right next to her ear.
"I'm Tenshi." I whispered in her ear. Naomi's eyes widen as she stepped back in shock. I smiled before handing her the clothes.
"Would you mind giving these to my father?" I asked sweetly as if nothing had happened. Naomi just nodded absentmindedly in shock. I turned to walk away before I looked back
"Good-bye. Naomi Misora." I said smiling before walking back out of the building.
TIME SKIP
Old Abandoned Warehouse
I was waiting patiently for my contact to arrive with BB. It was currently midnight and they would be here any minute. While waiting I decided to listen to one of my favorites songs- Painted Smile by Madame Macabre. Turning up the volume I drowned myself in the music.
I can't even remember how it started
A nagging voice:
My normal then departed from me
Primal urges spiriting my senses away
Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be
Preyed upon by the lowest of society
They're parasitic
Demanding your conformity
Pushing limits:
Ripping through
The last shreds of my humanity
I'm not but a shadow of what I was
And I'm hellbent and headed for you
Surely you've realized that there's
No way out of this alive
Close your eyes
Cause it's time
For you to "go to sleep"
Climbing through your windowpane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse a lovely circle
What your tongue! Those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay awhile?
Join me with a
Painted smile
Tragic faces stationed at my bedside
Warm embraces hollow on the inside
And their eyes betray them
Widening with fear and worry
Fuses burn down
And my vision becomes blurry
Liars always fill me with this unchained fury
Carve this face into their darkest memories
Cause that's just showbiz
This is a divine comedy
Ready! Action!
Pray that you're fast enough to flee
I'm not entirely unsympathetic
So I'll give you the count until three
Surely you've realized that there's
No way out of this alive
Close your eyes
Cause it's time
For you to "go to sleep"
Climbing through your windowpane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse a lovely circle
What your tongue! Those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay awhile?
Join me with a
Painted smile
Patience is a virtue
When you're working on a masterpiece
And tolerance is valued
When you're working on a living canvas
Stitch my words into tender fresh
This grin will stay forever fresh
Don't be lonely, don't be jealous
Your turn is coming
How could I forget?
Still awake? Not for long!
Climbing through your windowpane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse a lovely circle
What your tongue! Those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay awhile?
Join me with a
Painted smile
As the song came to an end I looked up to see a prison escort vehicle parking just a few feet away. A large man with tattoo's all over his arms got out of the vehicle giving me a glance before going to the back and unlocking the double doors. As he led Beyond out -who was still in a straight jacket- I noticed that he looked deathly malnourished, beaten, and exhausted. I was furious, Beyond might have been a criminal and murderer but he was still a human being. I glared at the tattoo man as I opened the back doors to my rented car.
"We are sorry for his condition. He wasn't cooperating in the last few months." The man said not sounding sorry at all. I felt like I wanted to vomit.' Months!' I thought mentally strangling the man in front of me.
"Of course. I understand. I am more than happy to take him off your hands." I said with fake cheer as my teeth grounded together painfully. I gave a sharp nod before entering the front seat of the car and driving off.' I might not like Light, but he is going to be getting a couple of new names for the Death Note soon.' I thought to myself darkly.
Beyond looked at me in confusion and slight fear as we traveled down the road. Looking back I noticed I forgot to take his straight jacket. I reached back slowly -trying to not cringe at the fact that Beyond flinched away- and undid the strap to the jacket. Beyond blinked in surprise.
"Why are you doing this?" Beyond asked in a raspy voice. I sighed before turning in a nearby parking lot. I didn't respond for a moment as I took out something from my bag.
"I'm doing this because I need help and because it is wrong what they're doing to you." I answered bluntly before turning back to him and handing him a jar of strawberry jam. Beyond entire face lite up at the sight of his favorite food. I chuckled as he grabbed it and practically inhaled it.
"What do you need my help with?" Beyond asked curiously. I debated telling him everything before coming to a decision. I looked back at him.
"Well, Beyond I need you to help me defeat, Kira." I said slowly. I watched carefully as Beyond face turned into one of confusion.
"Kira? I thought L was working that case." Beyond stated with a barely concealed sadness and regret. I sighed before opening my mouth to explain.
"The first thing you need to know is that I wasn't born in this world. I was brought to this world by a powerful entity for a shot at a second chance." I started slowly watching Beyonds eyes widen." The second thing you should know is I can see the future up till a certain point."
"What!?" Beyond shouted in disbelief. I watched as his eyes searched mine looking for any sign of a lie. Apparently, he didn't find one because he slumped in defeat.
"H-how is that p-possible?" Beyond asked after a few moments. I chuckled slightly.
"I don't know either, but I have still got a lot more to reveal," I said smiling at the look of awe on Beyond's face." The third thing you need to know is I'm not human."
"Is that why you Don't have a life span?" Beyond asked curiously. I was confused for a moment till I remembered that he had natural Shinigami eyes.
"Yes, I have no lifespan cause technically I can't die from old age." I said softly. Beyond looked surprised at the confirmation that I was, in fact, Immortal -at least to aging.
"The reason I'm not shocked by your eyes is that I know where they come from." I explained carefully." They are Shinigami or God of Death eyes."
Beyond paled at the mention of Death Gods. I smiled reassuringly toward the young man.
"That's enough bombshells, for now, I would think." I said cheerfully. Beyond could only nod as he visibly tried to process the information given to him. I started the car back up before driving to the house I would be giving BB. The rest of the car ride was silent. It was about three in the morning when we arrived at the house. Luckily it was only a block away from my house.
"We're here." I said loudly as I climbed out of the car. I turned and handed the keys to the house and car to Beyond. He looked surprised.
"Why are you doing this? Don't you know I'm a killer?" Beyond asked bitterly. I simply smiled at the ex-killer fondly.
"Yeah, but as long as you don't go on a murdering spree and change your name the police and Kira won't bother you." I said before turning away." By the way, I will check on you in a week. I only live a block away if there is an emergency, also the fridge is stacked full of jam."
I walked away leaving a bewildered Beyond behind. As I walked home I thought about how I was going to approach Watari tomorrow at our meeting spot. I would have to wear a mask and voice changer till I was sure there weren't recording devices or cameras. I smiled now all there was to do is plan and wait for L to approach Light and me at To-Oh.
