--Paris, France
The meeting was at 12:00 sharp and yet I was still in Paris. I had to hurry and catch the train...though I was in no great rush for the two hour ride. My business in Paris would have to wait...Jon had finally spit out the fact that the meeting was today. He'd hesitated in telling me for as long as possible...in hopes that I wouldn't show. He still hated the fact that I was being offered this case, only because I took such an interest in KIRA.
And yet...I felt the overwhelming need to see Dante. That feeling within me was tingling...the one that told me he was up to no good. In trouble with one thing or another...I felt the urge to..."remind" him a bit about how IMPORTANT this case was. Arriving at his apartment, I held up my hand to knock...but overheard him speaking to someone...a phone call perhaps?
Slowly my hand reached for the knob instead...it opened of course. Careless Little Brother....
"....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... "
I smirked and made my presence known. "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?" I snarled making a beeline for the phone he was clinging to. He went stiff.
" Anyways I'm In A 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... "
He continued, trying his best to ignore me most likely. Grabbing the phone I slammed it down, ending his phone call.
"Auron...wow...what brings you here this early? I mean...aren't you usually having breakfast at this time?" He 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--"
I slammed my hand to the wall next to him, efficiently blocking him from walking away from me. Coming in real close...he was just before me and nearly pressed to the wall himself. He had that smirk still...as though he were hoping I either DIDN'T HEAR his phone call...or would instantly FORGET it's contents.
"Tell me Dante...to WHICH heist were you referring? Hmmm?" I 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?!"
His smirk was gone and he closed his eyes. "Look...Auron..."
I pulled away and instinctively started rubbing my index finger on my temple as I turned away and began pacing. "Enough. We will speak of this later...frankly I do NOT have the time for this..." I stopped him. "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." I 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 I stated the last part...I cast him a glare of fierce magnitude. Without any further "talk" I exited the room, but stopped in the doorway when I heard the phone ring. He didn't answer and it went to his 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... "
I didn't turn to look at him. "Remember Dante..." I spoke in a harsh tone and then I walked away.
I hurried to the train station and boarded just in time. The 9:30 train...I would be there at 11:30...giving me exactly 30 minutes to arrive at Interpol Headquarters. And then...things would get good.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Welcome back Bones! I didn't want to cause anything major until you were back. hahaha, so now I am free once more to rampage on you Kira! Are you ready for this!?
Have fun with your part Turok! I know you've been dying to let loose Dante on his little "project". haha.
On a rooftop near SK’s place, Minami was watching Yami how he works his “magic”
“The way he is killing...by using the Note, very original my friend...but you made quite a mess lil’ man, all this blood made by one little Note and a pen...” he smiled and then lighted another cigar... “Damn this is boring, to hell with all of you.” He saw SK putting something on the door step...a note, after that he saw a woman approaching... “hmmmm...what do we have here? The lil’ lady, is she gonna go to your place and you two have some fun...” Minami saw SK talking to that woman, she took the note from the door step. “I can hear them, if I want, but if I hear something not good, I still have to report to the Mistress and she won’t like it, I don’t make the Mistress mad about a stupid misunderstanding.” He saw SK and the woman going in the direction of SK’s house. “So you two really are going to his place...interesting.” Minami followed them jumping from rooftop to rooftop until he arrived at SK’s building rooftop...and then Minami sensed something different in the air...or someone....
“What the...” he said out loud because he saw someone already sitting on another rooftop in front of him, that person approached him and was only a few feet away. When he realized who it was...he said pissed:
“This is not good...”
“Yes indeed, Miss has to know about this.” said the person not so surprised.
“Yup and fast.” Said Minami. “So this is your target...hmmmm nice...”
“Stop fooling around and let’s go already, Miss has to know.” said Nishi.
“Hai hai, wakarimashita yo...”
The last thing they saw was SK and the woman who went in his building.
Meanwhile, I was on the sofa eating some dark chocolate, when I heard the door, I turned around to see who was it and said “Someone is home.” I said to myself.
“Okaeri...nasai?” I was with a piece of chocolate from the bar half in my mouth almost falling...(I don’t eat from a bar very often)
“Tadaima Mistress, you look very nice with with that chocolate bar in your hand, it reminds me of the boy, nice boy he was.” Minami was talking about Mello, he king of liked Mello, because he was nothing like Light, but he kept his opinions for himself. I ignored what he said, but coudn’t avoid blushing a little, I don’t usually blush because of dead people...
“What the hell are you two doing home..and at the SAME time?!” I yelled. Silence from both of them. “Oh...I get it...naughty, naughty, gone on a date?”
“I wish...” said Minami
“The targets meet, Miss.” said Nishi totally ignoring what I was saying.
“...you don’t say...well faster than I thought.” I said ironically
“People are getting desperate...” said Minami
“So no date?” I asked again getting off the topic.
“Unfortunately no, this is a dream for me Mistress...” said Minami going along with my little game.
“Nishi?” I asked
“We are not here to discuss personal problems.” she said obviously angry
“Who said anything about being personal and I didn’t mentioned that this was a problem either.” I said. Silence...Minami looked at Nishi and she looked at me, I couldn’t tell if she was blushing or not because of her scarf that covered most of her face.
“Gotcha!” I said laughing. “So..for how long are you two together?” Nishi was just irritated by my affirmation.
“This isn’t what it looks like! In the name of Allah, stop saying nonsense things Miss...our targets met, not us...” said Nishi. Me and Minami was very amused by her reaction; I just love teasing Nishi, ‘cause sometimes she is more serious than my mother...
“And are they dating?”
“How should I know, they barely know each other...” said Nishi
“She meant to say that we don’t know, yet.” said Minami, trying to calm things down for Nishi.
“Well make sure they don’t! ‘cause love between those two is not in my plans, got it?” I said
“Yes Miss” said Nishi
“Yes Mistress” said Minami
“Now, you two go back to work and keep an eye on those two, because I want to know everything, but remember don’t get too close I don’t want you to be seen” I said
After I finished my chocolate bar I took my books and drum sticks and went to night practice, while I was moving twards the car I was thinking “They met faster than I thought, is Yami getting desperate? He’s making mistakes already and I don’t like it...maybe I should talk to him, not now, but soon.” I was by the car by the time I finished my plans.
“Ojosama?..shall we go?” asked Higashi with a worry in his voice like “Is everything okay?” or something like that.
“Yes, we shall.” I said while opening the car’s door.
Minami and Nishi were already back on the rooftop where they have met, for quite a while...they didn't miss too much. Minami said something interesting, like he could see through the walls at SK and the woman.
“Hmmm...lil’ lady, helping him with his keys ‘cause he is injured...”
“Kaori” said Nishi like she continued a lost sentence...
“What?...” asked Minami
“Her name is Kaori, not “lil’ lady", “woman” or what ever you call her...” said Nishi
“Kaori, cool name...for a killer...” Minami said sarcastically
" Are you alright? "
"...yes Mrs. Kaori I'm fine..."
...
...
“A knife?...foolish boy” said Minami, after that he looked at Nishi while he was walking away. “They will meet tomorrow...she’ll bring bento.”
“Are you listening to everything they are saying?” Nishi asked
“The Mistress did say she wanted to know everything” Minami said, but Nishi didn't said a thing. “Look your lil' lady...I mean Kaori is going home...”
“It seams our work here is done.” said Nishi
“Yeah...nice chatting with ya, I’m off home...he’s asleep...” said Minami
“I’ll follow her a little longer, until she gets home, just to be sure.” said Nishi
"Okay, see ya...and Nishi...” said Minami. She was about to go too, but she turned around and said.
“Yes? What is it?”
“Sorry about what happen earlier, at Mistress’s house...” but when he looked at that place where Nishi suppose to be, she was already gone...
“...hm...that woman...” said Minami amused...

I Woke Up To The Sound Of My Phone Ringing... I Looked Around, Sleep Still Had A Hold Of My Eye's... I Sat Up And Looked At The Blanket Covering Me... How It Ended Up On Me Was Beyond My Knowlage At The Moment... My Attention Snapped Back To My Phone When My Answering Machine Went On...
" I'm Not Home At The Moment.. Leave A Message And I'll Get Back To You " There Was A Beep And A Familiar Voice Ecohed Over The Machine
" Hey Kiamari You Lazy Bastard I Know Your Home Pick Up!... " There Was A Pause... " 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... "
" Only Dante Would Leave Me A Message This Long... " I Could Hear His Brother Auron Yelling At Him In The Background
" Anyways I'm In A 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... " He Hung Up... Or Auron Hung Up For Him...
" Right... The 29th... Damn... Well I Don't Have Anything To Do Tod-... " I Stopped Talking When I Saw A Folded Paper... It Was A Note From Mrs. Kaori...
Sk,
Meet Me Tomorrow At Noon For Lunch... I'll Bring Bento, Just Meet Me At The Clock In The Central Square. There Is Much To Discuss...
" Shit... I Must Have Passed Out... " I Looked At My Arm Where Kentaro Had Shot Me... A Large Hematoma Had Formed Around The Wound And A Slightly Smaller Bruise Had Formed Around The Gash On My Hand... I Looked Back At The Note... Then I Remembered My Own I Had Left For Kaori... " Why Would I Make A Lunch Date On The 29th? Have I Really Been That Distracted By The Death Note? " I Got Up Clutching My Arm And Walked Into The Bathroom To Jump Into The Shower... After Which I Got Dressed And Called Dante Back... " Hey Dante It's SK " I Laughed Slightly " 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... " I Hung Up The Phone And Looked At My Watch, 8:56am... " A Good Time To Leave I Guess Seeing As I'm Going Against Everything I Stand For By Stepping Out Of The House On The 29th... " I Grabbed The Death Note And Tucked It Into My Bag As A Precaution... Just In Case, And Headed Out The Door Only To Be Greated By Mrs. Kiamari Again...
" Oh! There You Are I Was Just Coming To See You " I Jumpped And Dropped My Keys, The Sudden Jolt Made A Shock Of Pain Spring Through My Body And I Grabbed My Arm Wincing In Pain...
" Hello Mrs. Kiamari... "
" Oh What Happend? Are You Alright? "
" Yeah I'm Fine... Just Going To Take Care Of Some Things Before I Go Meet Someone For Lunch... "
" You're Going Out On The 29th? I Thought You Never Left Your Home On A Day With A Nine Hmm? "
" I Usually Don't But Something Needs My Immediate Attention And It Can't Wait... "
" So What Happend To Your Arm? "
" Nothing... "
" Oh Don't Give Me That You Always Have To Make Things So Difficult... Let Me See " Before I Could React She Opend My Shirt And Looked At My Arm... And Noticed The Laceration On My Hand... " Oh What Happend? How Did You Get Shot? And What Happend To Your Hand? "
" I Got Caught Up Trying To Help A Woman And The Guy Chasing Her Shot Me... And I Cut My Hand Trying To Get The Bullet Out Of My Arm... "
" Oh Nine You Rambo What Were You Thinking You Should Have Called Us... Besides I've Been Getting Worried Lately Haven't You Heard? There Saying There's Another KIRA " I Gave Her A Look...

There Was A Huge Scene At An Apartment Complex Not Far From Here, You Know The One, Your Unlce Has Partial Ownership I Think... Anyways Nine If Your Leaving The House Today Be Extra Carfull And Please, Go See A Doctor " She Kissed My Forhead As She Always Did And Walked Away... I Rubbed My Forhead And Followed Down The Stairs Once I Was Sure She Was Gone...
" Now What... " I Dared Not Look At My Watch Just For The Sake Of My Sanity At The Moment... I Walked Down To The Bus Stop As Paranoid As An Allycat Jumpping At Every Little Noise... When The Bus Pulled Up I Sat In The Front, The Sixth Seat To Be Exact... I Hung Around Down Town Only Going Into Every Sixth Shop I Came Across Until Around 11:40am... " Guess I Should Head To Central Square... " I Walked Along The Row Of Buildings Until I Finally Made My Way To The Clock... I Glanced At My Watch Again... 12:06pm... Atleast It Was 06 Instead Of 09... Sure I Was Alittle Late But That Didn't Make Much Of A Difference... She Was There Sitting On One Of The Benches Around The Clock... I Straightend My Posture, Fixed My Shirt And Walked Over To Her Trying My Best To Forget What Day It Was... " 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? "

The Bone Snatcher: -dances- HAHA! No Stupid Computer Virus Can Keep Me Out Of All This For Long >:3 Anyways I'm Looking Forward To All Of Your Future Posts >;D
I yawned and sat up it bed. It was bad enough that I could barely get any sleep last night thanks to Sis not geting home, but when you stack on top of that that I had an English test today, it made me ready to hang myself.
I sighed and went to the hall bathroom. My alram went off as I started brushing my teeth. Dang it! I forgot to turn it off again. I wondered if I had awakened Kaori......The noise from the kitchen directly aftewords perker my interest.
"What's she doing up?" I asked my reflection.
As I came into the kitchen, Kaori already had breakfast really and was smiling at me.
"Good Morning, my dear sweet little sister. Here's your breakfast."
I yawned. This was going to be good. We both knew what this meant.
"What do you want Kaori...spit it out..." I yawned. "And what are you doing up so early? You are NEVER up before me." I started. Suddenly, it hit me "...you stayed up all night didn't you?" I asked.
"Yes...but you know...I was pretty riled up from what happened outside...that's why. I just couldn't sleep..." Kaori said somewhat rigidly.
I felt my skin tense. Sis........please don't do that to yourself.....please....please don't do that to yourself.....
"Speaking of that..." I growled. "Why in the world..."
Kaori did a spetacular preformance of 'I'm sorry' bows. I sighed a bit.
"Please forgive me!! I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to be home so late...I swear! I got lost...and then...the whole mess outside...."
Kaori?..........what's up with her......she's never like this.....could.....wait.....no......hahahahah what am I saying hahah..... I looked at Kaori for a second. She was extremely red. Wait.....could....I be right? Did....did she find someone she liked??? I'd have to ask Mizawa later about what exactly people do when they're in love.....
"Wow...uh...it's alright. But...Kaori...are you okay?" I asked. "You...well it seems like there is something more wrong with you..."
Kaori stopped. I blinked. She really was keeping something from me....
"No Remu...I'm just fine. Nothing at all for you to worry about. Nothing..." Kaori answered.
Sis.......Kaori.....sis....pease.....don't lie to me..... I thought to myself.
"Remu...could you please make me an extra bento today. I am having lunch with a friend...and I'll need it. Please!" Kaori continued. I stopped. Just a friend? That was what she was all flustered about? A friend? T____T good grief Kaori.......daram queen of the century is sitting in my house and naming herself my sister.
"Gee...is that ALL you want! You had me thinking it was gonna be something major..." I sighed for a moment but then laughed. "That's fine...let me get to it though or I'll be late for school..."
Kaori sprang up and hugged me. It reminded me so much of Mom's hugs........and nearly drove me to tears.
"You're just the best little sister!" Kaori's light voice said.
Mom.....and Dad.........were taken.......from me and Kaori...... I could feel some stray tears running down the sides of my cheeks. NO! Don't be weak! Never be that WEAK. I have to be strong for Kaori....I have to.
Suddenly I realized that time was slipping, and I'd probably end up being late for school if this kept up.
"ugh...let go already..." I said trying to get back control of myself. I walked into the kitchen. "Gee...you really are acting strange..." I continued.
Kaori went off to get ready for work, and I started cooking. Bento....seriously is that all she wanted......I guess I was never going to fully understand Kaori....but I guess that was ok.....
Kaori dashed out of the house almost forgetting her bento she. I sighed and got ready for school.
I met Mizawa on the train. She was jabbering on about a few new boys at our school while I tried to go over English. I still couldn't get why I had to learn both English and Japanese......it was just too much of a hassel for it's own good. If I ever needed to speak to someone, I'll speak to them in calculus and be done with it.
"So what do you think about that?" Mizawa asked.
"Hu?" I asked. I hadn't been paying any attention at all......
"Remu!" Mizawa scolded. "Don't tell me you weren't even listening!"
"I'm studying Mi-chan," I answered. "Unlike you, I actually need to study for English."
"You don't need to study," Mizawa laughed. "English is easy."
"Says the one who learned English while in ENGLAND," I answered back.
Mizawa laughed.
"Sorry Rem-chan," she answered. "I forget how much harder it is for you to hahahaah."
"Ya ya ya...." I answered. "So what were you saying?"
"I was saying.....that the school formal is coming up...." Mizawa answered. "And I was wondering if a boy has asked you out yet."
I all but had a nose-bleed on the train floor. Several guys looked over. I leered at them and dared them to laugh. They all fell silent as the grave.
"MIZAWA!!" I scolded. "No no no no no no no."
Mizawa gave me a shocked look but then resorted to laughing.
"I knew you would get all defesive hahahah," she answered. "But if you're not going to go, at least go to the mall with me and help me find some formal clothes after school."
"And by formal you mean something that will get you thrown out of high school....again...." I joked.
Mizawa laughed back.
"You bet," she answered.
I went back to studying English. It had only been ten minutes before I looked up bored out of my mind. A man was reading a news paper nearby, and I caught a glimpse of one of the pages.
It read in big bold letters: KIRA'S RETURN.
"Hey," I said waving to the guy. "Can I see that page?"
The guy shrugged and handed me the paper. I looked it over and found the names of those Kira had judged. It seemed like.....Kira really did come back....and he was doing good....actual good for the world. I smiled a bit.......I hoped.....Kira was here to stay.......
I'd gotten up extra early...well to be more exact I didn't really sleep. I'd sat awake in my bedroom all night contemplating everything over in my mind. This...SK...he'd marked me as KIRA. ME...ordinary and average in every way...why? How? I hadn't really even done much yet...which reminded me....the next set to be punished. I would have to gather the information.
It was simple enough...the internet was vast...an infinite sea of information. I managed to find several criminals...all who deserved the judgment of KIRA. But I knew...if I wanted even higher criminals I would need the aid of someone within the police...such files were usually classified. I made do with what I had and assigned their judgments to pass over the next two weeks. There were 100 names here...all divided into very specific groupings at key hours from all over the world. There was no way I would be singled out here in Tokyo...no way at all.
Yet as the sun started to break it's way through the tall bleak buildings of the city...I realized something. I could never achieve my goals alone. Not in this vast world...there was just too much to be done...too much corruption. I felt it deep inside, I would have to accept SK's offer. Maybe I would consider others in the future...but right now...I would merely test out this approach with SK and pray that this wasn't my first and ONLY gamble. To have faith in someone...this would be the hardest part. But I had to...in order to carry out KIRA's will.
I heard Remu's alarm go off...but she was already in the bathroom brushing her teeth. I hurried to the kitchen. Grabbing a bowl from the shelf, I poured some cereal and then added the milk as she came out. I smiled largely. "Good Morning, my dear sweet little sister. Here's your breakfast."
She yawned. "What do you want Kaori...spit it out..." She mumbled sitting down. "And what are you doing up so early? You are NEVER up before me....you stayed up all night didn't you?"
I didn't see any point in denying it. "Yes...but you know...I was pretty riled up from what happened outside...that's why. I just couldn't sleep..."
"Speaking of that..." Remu growled. "Why in the world..."
I clapped my hands together and bowed to her several times. "Please forgive me!! I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to be home so late...I swear! I got lost...and then...the whole mess outside...."
"Wow...uh...it's alright. But...Kaori...are you okay?" Remu asked surprised. "You...well it seems like there is something more wrong with you..."
I froze. "No Remu...I'm just fine. Nothing at all for you to worry about. Nothing..." There was a brief silence before I came forward with what I needed. "Remu...could you please make me an extra bento today. I am having lunch with a friend...and I'll need it. Please!"
"Gee...is that ALL you want! You had me thinking it was gonna be something major..." She sighed. "That's fine...let me get to it though or I'll be late for school..."
I jumped up and grabbed her around the neck from behind in a hug. "You're just the best little sister!" I chuckled. My gaze became somewhat serious though as I realized I was holding on too long. To protect her...that is all I want....to make a world where she will live a long and safe life...
"ugh...let go already..." She grumbled and walked off for the kitchen. "Gee...you really are acting strange..." I heard her say.
I went to the bathroom and jumped into the shower. After, I got dressed, did my hair and gathered my things for work. Remu was just finishing the bento, I walked over, took the bentos and thanked her then headed straight to my place of employment.
Time seemed to move slow...my whole point of focus being the noon meeting I'd scheduled. Would he come...how would he react and most importantly...SHOULD I really accept his aide? These thoughts bounced around my head all morning. And then the moment came. At 11:30 I asked to leave a little early, informing my boss I was meeting someone very important for a lunch date. He smiled and let me go...I'd always been very diligent...there was no reason to question me.
I made my way to the clock, right in the middle of central square. It read 11:45am....now I would wait...
"So then...will you show SK? Do you truly wish to help me..." I mumbled taking a seat on a nearby bench. "We shall see..."
~Kaori
