Soji stood frozen in fear at her own idea. How could she have thought to use the Note? Her knees trembled as she reached for the Note.
“Xavier! Xavier Heartwrite! You will not hurt any more people!” Ryuza shouted but was suddenly silenced as a foot kicked him in the side.
“Now knowing my name will do no good nor will shouting it,” Xero laughed, “I have the Death Note here. Rem’s Death Note that Kira used for a while. I am its true inheritor, and I have the shinigami eyes Ryuza or should I say Ray Harper.”
Ray Harper! That is Ryuza’s real name! This man does have the shinigami eyes! He is just toying with Ryuza. I have to stop Xavier before he kills Ryuza! The Death Note? No I could never use it! No. Just his face and his name….no I have to stop him not kill him. But he must also have a shinigami! Just his face…no….I can’t kill….
“So you are going to use it,” Isica’s voice laughed.
Soji followed the sound and found the shinigami sitting on the ceiling upside down.
“How long have you been there?” Soji mouthed.
“The entire time. I figured watching Xero beat the living day lights out of your boyfriend was more entertaining that your personal struggle. Sorry, but that’s how I am.”
“Is there a shinigami?” Soji mouthed again.
“Why should I tell you?” Isica asked smiling for the first time.
Fine Soji thought. I’ll do this on my own.
Soji put the Death Note back in her bag, pulled out her gun, and rounded the corner. There standing in the room was the man known as Xero with his foot on Ryuza’s head.
“Ahh you must be the marvelous little intruder Seta Soji,” Xero smiled.
Xero was not a pretty man, but rather he had black sheets of hair that covered his eyes. His chin jutted out and seemed to be military sawed. Another man stood slightly to Xero’s right which Soji guessed was the weasel man.
“Or should I say Sarah Ls? Yes I have the shinigami eyes, and I would have to say good bye Sarah,” Xero said happily. His hand reached for the book chained to his side, and Soji fired one shot. The shot hit his hand and the book went flying.
“Now now that wasn’t very nice,” Xero laughed.
Soji felt a bullet go through her side, and as she fell, she saw the weasel man looking very happy. Her body hit the floor and a splash of blood could be heard.
“Soji!” Ryuza screamed in terror.
“Now you will suffer for shooting me Sarah Ls,” Xero laughed.
“No!” Soji her hand reached the Death Note and before she could think, she wrote in her own blood Xavier Heartwrite. Xavier didn’t notice at first and proceeded towards Soji with a gun in his hand.
“No I won’t kill you using the Note I will put ten…..*ugh*” Xero fell forward and hit the ground holding his heart.
“What is going on?!” Xavier asked, “Isica what is this? Why are you killing me?”
Isica? Did he say Isica? This was all a play by that shinigmai!
“I am not the one killing you Xavier. I told you in the beginning that I would give another Note to an enemy of yours. She is the one with the Note, and now she has won by killing you. Good bye Xavier,” Isica laughed picking up the other Death Note and placing it somewhere inside her ice.
“Master Xavier!” the weasel voice cried out in terror.
Ryuza who had gotten to his feet tackled the man and beat him unconscious. Soji curled into a ball and cried. She had been tricked into using the Note. The Death Note that had killed L, she had used it to kill. She was no better than Kira.
“Well that was fun Soji, but I am tired of this show, so I’m going to go away for a while. I’ll leave the Death Note with you to do what you like with it. Heheheheheheheheehehehehe such a lovely sight. The other Note will be taken back to the shinigami world.”
She got to me, Soji sobbed. She got to me, and I killed a man. There is no way that I can get away from it. Near will find out and have me charged with being Kira. And I can’t run. I killed a man. I killed him.
“Soji, are you ok?” Ryuza asked softly.
“He’s dead, D-E-A-D dead,” Soji sobbed.
“A heart attack because of the shinigami he took the Death Note from, but the Note is no longer here. I saw it disappear.”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you ever touch the Note?” Soji asked astounded. There was still a chance!
“No, but he talked about it so much that it was almost like I could see it. He was talking to it in the last. Are you ok?”
“I think I will be.”
To be continued.
