I stood in the now clean living room, staring at a massive dog, an uncomfortable looking bed, and the back of the person who was supposed to help me catch KIRA. But no. First, she kills my laptop. Second, she takes me to this dump of an apartment with this beast of a dog. Third, she expects me to sleep here. Oh, and did I mention that she knows my name, but didn't bother to introduce herself to me? Other than some vague 'she-wolf' comment, I got absolutly nothing.
Well, I've got two words for you, 'she-wolf': Screw. That.
I'm going home to my neat and organized living space where there's actually real food in the cupboards.
I stood stock still, grinding my teeth in frustration and anger. She thinks I'm inferior because I lack field work? She thinks she can keep me here with her stupid dog? She thinks I'll actually stay here, and sleep in that bed, where the obvious neglect makes my fingers twitch and my skin crawl?
Screw. That. I'm gone.
I grabbed my jacket off the floor, where it had been roughly and unneccessarily strewn, and reached for my laptop. My laptop where she kept a dormant virus on call at all times. That she could reactivate in a matter of seconds. I think not, actually.
I dusted off my jacket and slipped it on, then pushed my fists together, making my knuckles pop in the most unseemly matter. I know, it's not exactly polite, but, hey, I'm human, alright?
I'm gone. I slipped out the door. Her stupid dog looked up at me, but didn't seem to care. I guess since its mistress was not in any danger and it hadn't received orders to keep me there, I was of no interest to him.
Out in the hall I pulled my phone out of my jacket pocket. There was a message from the office, but that could wait. Hell, it was frickin one in the morning by then!! I tucked my phone away and made for the elevator. I pressed the down button and waited. And waited. And waited. Wow, when you're this tired, you really get impatient.
Then, with a soft 'ding' the doors opened. I was surprised to see a tall, bald nad poorly shaven man already in the elevator. He looked equally surprised to see me, especially leaving at this hour. He gave me an odd, sideways look, then stepped out of the elevator and started down the hall. I stepped in and pressed the button for the lobby. Just as the doors started to slide closed, I saw the man turn the knob on the she-wolf's door.
Myh heart skipped a beat. I didn't lock it.
Right before the door shut completely, I stuck my wrist in the way, and shoved it back open. The man was gone, but the door was open. He was in her apartment!
I took a deep shuddering breath, and started down the hall. I paused outside the door, listening. I could hear him moving from room to room inside. Then down towards her room. There was no way in hell she could protect herself in that condition. Or could she? Even if she could, she'd be pissed that I'd ditched and left her door open. I quickly slipped inside, and darted towards the kitchen, holding my breath. I heard him pause, then shuffle. I glanced around the kitchen and spotted a huge frying pan hanging from the wall, dusty, of course, from never being used. I snatched it and peeked into her room, where he was standing ever her bed, pulling a knife from his belt.
I took two quick steps into the room and . . .
CLANG!
The man dropped to the floor with a sickly satisfying thud.
"Ha," I said softly. I win, you lose.
Then she sat up in bed, looked at me, hoding a frying pan at my side, then stood on the other side of the bed. "What do you think you're doing?" She hissed.
I smirked and pointed to the man with my frying pan. "Kicking ass."
She glanced down, and laughed, just as softly and defiantly as I had.
"Well, well, Elizabeth," she said. "Maybe you have some potential after all."

Finally, got to posting. Mind you, its one in the morning right now, so yeah. My apologies for any typos or whatever. :)
January 29, 2023--9:45am
--Paris, France
I sat down and attempted to settle in for the two hour ride. The issue with Dante had given me the start of a slight headache, but it would be fine. And then someone plopped down in the seat next to me...hard. They were completely out of breath, I tried to ignore them, that is, until they slammed the paper I was reading down on the table before me. Narrowing my eyes, I turned and gave them a sharp glare...only to find my own eyes glaring back at me.
"So what's the big deal leaving me behind?!" Dante nearly shouted.
I rolled my eyes, instinctively rubbing my temple again as I looked away. "Keep your volume down, or have you forgotten you are now on a 'public' train...it's common courtesy." I lectured. "I 'left you behind' as you so put it, because I felt there was no great duty for you to perform during this meeting. I am simply to receive our orders...that is all."
"I don't give a damn if that's all...I'm part of this team too last time I checked." Dante refuted...his volume still too high for my liking. But that was him. He sat back with a stubborn and rather pouty expression. "I said I'm going...so I'm going. And I don't care if you'll beat me up over it later or not, and that's that!"
"Oh really now?" I stated firmly, a sadistic look in my eyes. Then smiling I resigned myself to his decision and picked up my morning paper once more. I licked my finger and opened the page up to where I'd been, then mumbled, "If I'm going to exact punishment of any type upon you, it won't be for this little stunt. Hear me Dante, I will not forget about your little 'heist' so quickly. Look forward to THAT, will you?" I could almost hear him gulp as he placed the earphones he had brought over his ears to blast his music.
-Lyon Platform-11:30am
We stepped off the speed train, hardly having the time to stretch. My arranged car was waiting in front of the station, and we jumped in without delay. We arrived at the hotel I'd set up reservations with, and I had them change my room from a single to a double. Normally they didn't accept such short notice changes, but just a bit of my sweet-talking and there wasn't a problem in the world. They carried our luggage and escorted us to the room with nothing but the utmost respect and courtesy. I smiled at the young woman who showed us the benefits of our quarters, never averting my eyes from hers. With Dante following suit, she nearly ran out of the room a bright red hue. I would've laughed if we weren't so short on time.
Grabbing the suitcase I'd packed, I tossed it on the bed, pulled out a suit and threw it at Dante. "Wear that and clean yourself up. You should at least be 'presentable'. I doubt we can accomplish that in your current attire..." I said looking him over once I again. I wondered slightly if he even LOOKED at what he was putting on this morning...glancing at the clock on the wall I added, "And do hurry will you? We haven't the time for any nonsense."
"yeah...yeah..." I heard him mumble as he walked into the bathroom. Knowing not to try my patience, he was out in a matter of moments, completely cleaned up and ready to go. I myself had run a brush through my hair, putting it up as I often did. "You satisfied now?" Dante commented as he grabbed his sunglasses.
"I suppose I am." I recoiled, grabbing my hat and sunglasses as well. Grabbing our coats on the way out, we left the room, returning to the car awaiting us. Jumping in we arrived at Interpol headquarters in less than five minutes time. This only due to my planning, after all, I hadn't chosen that specific hotel on a whim.
As we made our way inside, I went over a couple key things with Dante. I didn't want too much said inside. It's not that I didn't wish him to speak, for I would be following my own advice in this respect. I just wanted to go in, accept the mission...and get out. What those old geezers thought, I really didn't care, my one and only goal was to track down KIRA. I would do it regardless, but my top priority was to seize the KIRA case from Interpol and have their blessing. Things went much smoother when you had the backing of the world's police, not to mention their funding and amenities.
We sat in the waiting area until apparently the opening drivel was taken care of, and they were ready to talk business.
"...The Detective team known as the Kazuma Brothers. Although, some may have heard them referred to as DA." The dull man behind the podium announced as we entered. Standing before the room of filled seats, a murmur seemed to run through them all. Many of them seemed displeased that we'd been called in. "They have both been summoned here to-"
Smiling slightly as the man began, I decided to interject and speak for myself. "To accept the KIRA case." They all fell silent at that name. "That's right, I said it. The recent events seem to demand KIRA has returned...and while there may be a chance this is merely a copy cat...we can't take that risk. We must mobilize to meet this new enemy before they gather too many followers. Isn't that what you are all thinking?"
"Auron Kazuma, I assume." An older British man announced from the front of the rows. "You're arrogance proceeds you I see. We are not yet sure if this is truly a KIRA incident or not, I'd have you abstain from any such assumptions. Or have you forgotten not to believe everything you read in the paper or see on the telly?"
I smirked. "Well of course I hadn't forgotten that. After all, you should know half of the things reported are false. But of course you do! After all, you orchestrate fabrication yourself...do you not?"
"Such Disrespect!" The man shouted standing instantly in his seat. "And just what are you insinuating Auron?!"
"What? It's the truth isn't it?" Dante spoke up. He started to laugh. "There ain't a cop in this room that's gonna deny it...come on...you aren't all exactly the most HONEST when it comes to the press. You tell the public what they need to know...and that's that. Isn't that right?" Everyone was quiet again. "There's no need to get huffy, this IS supposed to be a meeting right? And FYI man...I would refrain myself from referring to my brother in such a familiar way. You may end up regretting it."
I looked at Dante for a moment in slight surprise...but then again...that was just how he was. He would come through for you in the oddest of moments. And when he did...and defended you...you felt that you had the strongest of allies. He looked at me and I nodded, then continued.
"We are willing to take on the task of finding this new 'KIRA', which as you should all know...may very mean risking our lives. Can any of you say the same?" I stated, stopping only to await their response. "Honestly! If any here are willing to do this, I wish you only the best!"
The Dull Man was called over to who appeared to be "the Man in Charge". He whispered in his ear, and then the Dull Man returned to the podium. "There shall be a vote to determine the outcome. As you all very well know, The Kazuma Brothers are recognized throughout the world for their amazing feats of brilliance. They have been compared to the likes of L and Eraldo Coil, thus Sir Gregory does not believe you should all take them so lightly. We have summoned them...not to ORDER them on this case...but to BEG them for their cooperative assistance. For only through wit, and quick countermeasures can we hope to be victorious against this new threat. The vote shall now commence, all in favor?" He waited as nearly every person in the room said "I". "And all Opposed?" There was silence. The British man glared at me, yet he kept his silence. "Very well, by overwhelming consensus, The Kazuma Brothers shall be given this case."
I smiled and bowed very slightly. "I humbly accept."
They all looked over at Dante...who obviously hadn't been listening fully. He looked at me and quickly tried to establish his standpoint. "Oh...uh...yeah me too-" Noticing the glare I flashed he reworded, "--uh...I mean...As Do I."
We were given details and the facts known by every agency present(which were mainly rumors and mere word-of-mouth)...and were then informed we'd receive all data gathered from the previous KIRA case as reference material. As soon as I received that info...it would be time to set up a base of operations. I had my mind set though...we would be heading for Tokyo.
We left the Headquarters victoriously, having secured our desired case....all that was left was to gather the material...and plan our trip.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now things are gonna start moving! I think they'll be in Japan pretty soon!
Haha, what do you think of DA? It's a play on District Attorney. A slogan for them: "They don't just prosecute! They bring criminals to JUSTICE!" >: D
29 January, 2023
I felt myself growing more and more anxious after hearing the clock chime in noon. I looked around a bit...wondering if he would be able to "find" me here. Feeling foolish I just sat straight once more...trying to ease my anxiousness.
"heh heh heh...What're you so worried about? I thought you didn't WANT any help?" Ryuk chuckled from behind.
I rolled my eyes. He only seemed to get entertainment from my problems. "I never said that...I just..." I stopped mid-sentence realizing I was speaking aloud. How? By the look a woman with her small boy had given me...rushing him off as though I were insane. Someone to run away from... "Hah...you have the right idea about me...but for an altogether WRONG reason..." I muttered. With the blood that stained my hands now...why wouldn't I expect them to fear me?
Reaching into my purse I pulled out my phone and put it up to my ear. "I never said I didn't WANT help...I said it would be dangerous." I spoke to Ryuk...he merely laughed at me for the effort I had to go through to speak with him. WITHOUT looking like a psycho. "You know...do me a favor and just refrain from asking me questions in public. I know you won't keep your sarcasm to yourself...but really...don't expect me to acknowledge you."
"Oh, so you think that..." Ryuk began but I lifted my hand up and snapped the cell phone shut...almost right in his face. As though I were "hanging up" on him. He broke into yet another fit of laughter. Apparently, he got the implication.
" I Hope You Have Good News For Me Mrs. Kaori... I Don't Leave The House On The 29th For Just Anybody Or Anyreason... Now Then, Shall We Discuss Our Business? " A voice suddenly spoke. It was SK.
I turned straight with a jolt and plastered a rather hasty, awkward looking smirk on my face...hoping he hadn't seen my little...exchange with Ryuk. "Glad you could make it...but...why exactly don't you go out on the 29th?" For a moment...it seemed that he wasn't even paying attention to me...his eyes were darting from side to side...he seemed nervous at every little thing...jittery even. "...SK?"
His eyes snapped back to me and he attempted to focus. "Um, yes?"
I stood up and gathered my things. Maybe he doesn't like being around so many people... I debated. "Come with me SK. We have to discuss our business elsewhere anyway."
I walked past him and led him to the nearby park. This was the reason I'd chosen this location to begin with...the peaceful seclusion you could find within this western style park was incredible. The ginko trees were beautiful...a real sight in the autumn. Yet we weren't here for sightseeing. Finding a nice bench in a secluded area, I slowly gazed around...just to make doubly sure there were no eavesdroppers.
"Alright, we'll sit here...uh...SK?" I began...turning around to find him still in his extremely paranoid state. "SK...what's the matter?"
"This day...that's what's the matter!" He suddenly snapped. "You never know what might happen on a day like this...that cursed number..."
I couldn't tell if he was talking to me...or himself. I just knew...I didn't have time to waste...I would have to get back to work soon. This was just a lunch break after all. "SK please...just sit down." I stated in a slightly firm tone. He seemed to think something over in his mind...took a deep breath...and did as requested. "I will not refer to what I'm speaking about so openly...but I'm sure you understand without me having to phrase it outright anyhow."
He didn't say a word...just listened intently to me...his jittering stopped as he seemed ready to absorb everything I was about to say and process it.
I took another deep breath. "I have decided...I will..." I paused...it was hard to say...but I couldn't hesitate. "...accept your offer. Now don't get all excited or anything...you have to prove yourself to me. I can't just openly trust someone I know virtually nothing about, but since you do share a very 'specific' similarity with me...I'm willing to give you a chance. As long as you remember this ONE thing...above all...we CANNOT be caught. I don't care what we have to do...we cannot risk being captured and revealed. What we do...it's in the Savior's name...in order to realize the world they were trying to create...we must stain ourselves in the blood of criminals...and this is why we shall take up the name...as well as the cause..." I had all but dropped my voice to below a whisper towards the end of my lecture...but I was sure SK had heard me...SK and no one else...
A slight smirk began to play across SK's lips...and he almost looked the part of a mad scientist having realized his experiment a success. His eyes filled with joy, he gazed deep into my own...with a sense of excitement...a sense of purpose...a sense of need. I was sure this was the expression I'd worn the first time I'd come to the realization of what I had to do...in KIRA's name...yes...the exact same expression.
"So what do you say SK...can I trust you...with my very life? With the duty to carry out our pious task against any and all obstacles that would dare stand against us? I offer you an olive branch...this one and only time...do you accept it wholeheartedly? Or meet it with a dagger..." Possessed by my own will to invoke the seriousness of the matter, I seemed to speak in riddles.
The wind began to blow...it's chill forcing me to turn away from it as I awaited my response...the response that would change everything for me.
~Kaori
***********************************************************
Have at it Snatcher-chan!! I wanted to leave it open so that you could relate SK's Response ^-^ Thought you might have fun with that. And you were right! I gave it a little time and BAM! It just flowed so well. : ) Thanx a lot!
Sorry it took so long though! lol...I know there are a couple posts waiting for it! -_-'
I gaze at my now clean apartment, The mountains of cans gone. I sigh and sit on the couch in front of the TV. I hiss in pain and hold my side. Oka whines in worry and rushes to my side he nuzzles my arm.
"Are you ok? Do you need a doctor?"
I shake my head.
"People die at the hands of doctors"
I turn to oka.
"Fetch the kit boy"
Oka rushed to the bathroom and back holding a first aid kit nearly knocking Elizabeth down. I treat my wound and sigh in relief.
"Much better"
Oka whines again and tugs at my sleeve with his teeth.
"What is it boy?"
He tugs again and let's out a bark.
"Youre hungry aren't you?"
He pants and circles anxiously in place.
"Alright, alright , calm down"
"Ummm... Gine?"
"Yeah?"
"What exactly does he eat?"
I chuckle and pick up the plastic bag I brought in. I dig inside and pull out a pack of red meat.
"This among other things. "
Her face pales, I laugh and turn to Oka. I look back at her.
"Watch this. Oka sit. "
He does so.
"Arm"
He crouches, poised to attack and let's out a growl. I drop the package.
"STRIKE!"
With a roar Oka tackled the package and shredded it open. Apparently the carnage was too much for Elizabeth.
"WHAT IS HE?!? A DEMON!?!"
"No.."
I turn on the TV and watch the news I see a crazed person in the middle of a large riot arresting and macing every person in sight.
"Great..."
"What?"
"That damn news station forgot to censor my face. Now everyone in Japan will know that the She-Wolf is back"
"Whos every one?"
"Every one in the underbelly of society"
Her faces of astonishment were begining to Annoy me.
"Its not that amazing you know. "
She suddeny looks at me with serious look on her face.
"How did you know L?"
I turn my head, not facing her. L... that name,my heart,grasp my chest. My heart was hurting, tears begin to build in my eyes. Without a quiver in my voice I ask
"What makes you think I knew him?"
"Well you have a file on him and you were on the list of officers that were on the previous Kira investigation"
I sigh again.
"Yes that's true, what do you want to know other than L?"
"I would rather learn more about L."
I begin to clench my fists, I didn't want to talk about him. I couldn't talk about him, not without feeling the heart ache again. She was persistent and continued to ask me things about L, personal things. His tackticks, his childhood, his origin, and the most painful one, what was my relationship with L. I look at her with anger and pain, but calmly I said.
"Its Late and I need to heal, I'll think about answering you questions in the morning."
A look of determination fills her face. She wasn't going to give up. I sigh again and opened tv couch to reveal a hideabed.
"You will sleep here"
Oka suddenly bouces to the edge and lies there.
"I can't sleep with him on the bed!"
"Its either that or outside"
Anger fills her face. I take no mind to it and head to my room, I change into my pjs and lie on my bed, begging for sleep. I dream of my past. Of my father I could almost hear his voice.
"My strong little girl, you can take care of youreself"
"But daddy!"
"Now now you'll be fine, just remember, trust your gut...*cough* and....your heart.
The last sound of that memory was the sound of a flatline.
My memories shift into the future,into a base of somesort.
"Miss Okami."
A voice said. I remember that voice.
"Yes L?"
"Why exactly did you join he police?"
"My father was a police man before he died"
"How old were you when he died?"
"5 mabe 6 years old , I barely remember. "
L rises from his seat and walks to me.
"It must be painful...to lose someone you love"
I turn away into another scene of my memories. I held in my hand a gun, I hear a shot and infront of me was the astonished face of Light Yagami, the Original Kira. I remember it clearly, he was about to write the last letter to my name untill Ryuk wrote something in his deathnote. I can almost read it.
Three days from now, Kira will face N and will suffer from a heat attack, however on the farthest window a gunshow will go through and kill him.

Paris, France ~ Dante's Undercover Job/The Phone Call Part 1
I waited at the docks for Mr. Tito. With any luck I'd catch him within the hour and be out of here before Auron found out what I was doing. He had always told me not to get mixed up in these kind of a heist with a major crime boss like Mr. Tito without proper backup and ontop of that I had gone undercover without informing Auron before hand. That alone could cost me my badge, and to make matters worse, if Mr. Titio found out I was a cop I'd be a dead man.
" Ok Dante just calm down if you act cool Mr. Tito will make the deal and I can bag him here and now before Auron finds out that I'm in deep " I tried to calm myself down before Mr. Tito arrived at the docks. A big black limo pulled into view and a large, heavy man stepped out with a jewled cane.
" Mr. Dan I do hope you will conduct yourself accordingly tonight " He scowled, giving me an intense glare as he did
" You got it Mr. T " I folded my hands infront of me and awaited the dealers. Finally at around 11:58pm another vehicle pulled into view, the dealers stepped out, and immediatly pointed their guns at me.
" Hey hey easy now " I said
" Thought we agreed not to bring Mr. Dan into this Tony... " One of the dealers, couldn't tell which one though they were all wearign masks
Tony huh? Guess that explains the Double T thing... Stupid if you ask me
" Mr. Dan is one of my, Watchers, if you will... He stays and that's final " Tony was very put off by the fact that they wanted me gone. That was good it ment he trusted me. To bad for him the dealers hunch was right, I was going to take him down and with any luck I'd take down the dealers to. I shook my leg alittle to make sure my gun was securely in the back of my pants. I had brought it with me this time for just incase protection.
" We had agreed that Mr. Dan was not going to participate in this "
" Mr. Dan stays... End of discussion. " The dealers hesitated for a moment, then they started unloading the goods.
Don't do anything stupid now Dante just keep your cool and things will go down fine I watched as Tony and the dealers worked things out, the shares, the cost of shipping it all to some buyer in the States, and finally the item that'd put them all away. It was a breifcase. Inside was an illegal drug that was said to cause fatal diseases like cancer if inhaled or injested. Obviously the buyer had some rediculous plan to kill off some important people but I wasn't about to let that happen. Not tonight anyways. Now just to wait for the case to exchange hadns and then...
" Sorry Mr. T.. "
" I hope you have a good explanation for this Mr. Dan "
" I do but " I took my gun out and threw my hair back " You won't like it " I exposed my badge " Names not really Dan Benson it's Dante Kazuma, and I'm taking you in "
" Danet Kazuma... The infamous twin of the famed detective Auron Kazuma. Certainly not what I was expecting at all. I'm almost insulted. "
" What d'ya mean by that? "
" Well surely someone like me would attract the attention of some one like Auron not his fanangled twin... "
" Chhr... What you don't think I'm capable of taking in some slick shithead like you? "
" Hardly. Someone like you, Mr. Dante, is no match for the likes of Tony Tito "
" Hey I'm every bit as capable as my brother now get down on your knees and put your hands behind your head! " I point my gun at Mr. Tito. Bad move. Tony pulled his own gun and shot my hand. " @#$%! " I jump and roll behind a crate. " Stupid move Dante STUPID! " I bite my hand and look for my gun. It's laying on the ground within the range of Tony's guns. " Shit.. Well I guess I'll just have to use plan b " I pull out a hand gernade, pull the pin and throw it blindly over the crate and then, the sound I was waiting for.
" AHHHH!!! "
" Haha BINGO! " A shot sent pieces of the wooden crate flying around my head. " Aie hey! Hot damn! " I run off alittle farther from where I was and skid behind something metal " Wooden crate.. Bad idea " I pull a few splinters from my shoulder and look for my gun again. " If I'm quick I can probably make it. All I gotta do is bring Tony in he doesn't have to be in good condition... " I make a mad dash for my gun, Tony gets out from behind the car and shoots at me, the bullet whizzs by my head leaving a small cut on my face, I reach my gun, roll across the ground and shoot. Tony's hit and falls to the ground. I get up and walk cautiously over to him. He doesn't seem to be moving. " God damn it " I nudge him with my foot. Nothing. " Way to go Dante yea killed the guy " I put my hands on my hips and look at the scene. The dealers were strown around on the ground unmoving, some were crawling away, I simply shot them in the leg and called the department. " Hey it's Dante. Yeah I'm at the docks... Sends someone to clean up the mess and DON'T mention this call to Auron. " I hang up and grab the breifcase containing the drug and walk off back to my hotel room. " Auron will want this though I'm not about to let those idiots take it in... " Finally reaching my suite I pull off my jacket and shirt and throw them on the ground before walking into the bathroom and take care of my injuries. Then I walk back to my bed and fell asleep almost as soon as I hit the matress

Paris, France - Dante's Undercover Job/The Phone Call Part 2
" Hey Kiamari you lazy bastard I know your home pick up!... " I wait for an answer. Nothing as was expected " Tch.. Alright then just listen I'm leaving france soon so if you want your laptop then call my cell when you get a chance... I have a feeling Auron and I will end up in Japan again at some point... Don't forget Kiamari and for god sakes don't mention anything about the heist infront of him or I'll have my badge revoked... "
" So Little Brother tell me? Do you often leave your door open so that any Joe off the street may enter? What, do you make them breakfast and tell them your life's stories as well? " Auron snarled making a beeline for the phone he was clinging to. I went stiff preventing him from getting his hands on the phone.
" Anyways I'm in s bit of trouble at the moment so I'll expect that call within a few days... Now get your lazy ass outa that bed and go outside I hear the weathers good in Japan right now, just forget about the number and go... " I continued, trying my best to ignore Auron. Finally he managed to grab the phone, slaming it down and ending my call.
" Auron...wow... what brings you here this early? I mean... aren't you usually having breakfast at this time?" I smiled turning around. " Really, it's a pleasure. Maybe you came to take your favorite brother out to breakfast for a change huh? I'd be-- "
Auron slammed his hand to the wall next to me, efficiently blocking me from walking away. Coming in real close... he was just before me and nearly had me pressed to the wall. I kept the smirk... hoping he either DIDN'T HEAR the call... or would instantly FORGET it's contents.
" Tell me Dante... to WHICH heist were you referring? Hmmm? " He growled in a low threatening tone. " You'll have your badge revoked? Nice for you to inform ME of this... after all... I'm the ONLY thing that has kept you from that consequence! Did you not consider informing me at all?! Or am I to once again get a surprise and be forced to use ALL my persuasive charm in unison?! "
I lost the smirk and closed my eyes. " Look... Auron... "
He pulled away and instinctively started rubbing his index finger on his temple as he turned away and began pacing. " Enough. We will speak of this later... frankly I do NOT have the time for this... " He stopped me. " I came to inform you... dear brother... that I am summoned to Lyon for the meeting of INTERPOL. I am to receive the offer to take on the KIRA case... I just thought I would stop by and remind you of the importance behind this. "
" I do know... believe me I- "
" I've heard you deduced our return to Japan already. After all, that WAS the last location of which KIRA was known to reign supreme. Therefore...I believe we shall make Tokyo our base of operation. " He continued. " At least until we are absolutely sure this KIRA is not there. Even if he isn't... Tokyo is still a large and very connected city... it's a prime location for an investigation of this type. "
" I agree... but Auron- "
" Really now... I don't have the time. Now that I've said what I wished to... I'm off. Dante... finish your business as quietly as you're able... I don't even care WHAT it entails... as long as you aren't caught. Do something to threaten this investigation however... and I'll make it hard for others to tell we are related... are we clear? " As he stated the last part... he cast me a glare of fierce magnitude. Without any further "talk" he exited the room, but stopped in the doorway when he heard the phone ring. I didn't answer and it went to the answering machine.
" Hey Dante It's SK, Yeah I Found A Name For Myself... And Your Not Aloud To Give Me Hell For Thinking Of Such A Simple Name... Anyways I Hope To Hear From You When You Get Back To Japan And My Laptop Better Be In Good Condition Or I'll Have Your Head You Got That? Hope You Haven't Gotten Yourself Into To Much Trouble, With Auron I Mean And Don't Worry I Won't Mention The Heist... "
He didn't turn to look at me. " Remember Dante... " He spoke in a harsh tone and then he walked away. I sat there and thought for a moment then I quickly threw my shirt and coat on and chased after Auron
" Auron! Hey wait a minute you sorry, abusive excuse for a brother! "
Turok: Haha Dante's gonna get for that now isn't he Auron ** Laughs ** Looking forward to your new post's. I'm real happy to get back into the action and welcome back bone snatcher!!
