" Acquainted?! How....? " She Was Almost Shouting When She Got To Her Feet But For Some Reason. She Took One Look At Me And Ran Right Into My Bathroom. I Was Surprised She New Where It Was Considering She'd Only Been At My House Once And Never Used The Bathroom... At Least Not That I Recalled... So I Threw My Blanket Down On My Couch And Searched The Living Room For My... Seemingly Non Existent Pants At The Moment When Mrs. Kaori Came Back Out And Sat Herself Down On The Couch... Right Where I Was Searching Under It For My Pants... I Look Up At Her Slightly Then Continue My Hunt
" You Wanted To Know How I Am Acquainted With These Detectives Mrs. Kaori? "
" Yes I Would... It Could Be A Problem SK... " I Looked At Her For A Moment Then Stood Up. I Obviously Was Not Going To Find My Pants Under The Couch So I Might As Well Stop Looking For What Isn't There.
" Those Detectives... They Are Childhood Friends Of Mine. We Grew Up Together... " She Looked At Me For A Moment And Didn't Say Anything Again... " Mrs. Kaori? "
" Your Childhood Friends? With These Detectives? " Her Faced Seemed To Be Going Red And I Could See Her Eyes Searching... I Assumed It Was Me Because I Doubt Very Much That There Was Anyone Behind Me Although I Did Have A Strange Sense Of Feeling Watched...
" Yes I've Known Them For Years So I-... " I Was Cut Off By Another... Rather Loud Knock At My Door. " Oh For Gods Sake ANOTHER One? " I Shook My Head And Walked Over To The Door And Answered It... Only To Come Face To Face With My Laptop And Dante Attached To It
" Yo Kiamari What's Up? "
" Dante? I Thought You Said In An Hour? " I Said Looking Down The Hall. I Half Expected Auron To Be With Him But To My Surprise He Wasn't...
" It Has Been An Hour Bud "
" Has It?" I Looked Back Up At Him Bleary Eyed. The Light In The Hallway Was Much Brighter Then My Seemingly Dark Apartment Right Now...
" Damn Right It Has " He Invited Himself In And Walked Right Into My Living Room, Coming To A Halt When He Saw Kaori... In A Moment Of Panic I Rushed In And Stood Beside Him Looking Between Him And Kaori. Dante Just Looked At Her Then Laughed " Damn Kaimari Is This The Girl You Said You Were Seeing? What A BABE " I Smacked My Hand Against My Face In Embarrassment...
" Dante She's A Friend Of Mine I Never Said I Was Dating Her... "
" So You Admit This IS The Woman You Were Talking About Earlier? "
" I Never Said That-.. " He Wouldn't Let Me Finish. Instead He Grabbed Me And Gave Me A Rather Harsh Noogie Like We We're Kids Again
" So Buddy What's Up I've Missed You! "
" Dante! You're Hurting Me... " He Laughed And Let Go, I Stumbled Forward And Nearly Fell On Kaori Who Was Sitting There Watching Us Act Like Complete Idiots...
" SOO You're The Apple Girl Huh? "
" I Beg Your Pardon? " She Looked At Him Oddly
" I'm Really Sorry Mrs. Kaori, Dante " I Smack Him In The Gut With The Back Of My Left Hand " Doesn't Know How To Conduct Himself Accordingly Sometimes... "
" Well Scuse Me I Didn't Realize I Was Being Scrutinized Here... So What's Your Name Apple Girl? " I Rolled My Eyes. Same Old Dante. He Never Changed A Bit After All That Time Out Of Japan...
" Kaori This Is Dante, Dante This Is... My Friend Mrs. Kaori... "
" I Never Did Get To Thank You For Helping Me Earlier Dante " She Said
" Ahh Don't Worry Bout It It Was The Least I Could Do Besides I Felt Bad After The Way My Brother Just Kinda... Took Off After That Whole Scene There... " There Was An Awkward Silence...
" So You're A Detective I Understand? " Kaori Broke In
" Yeah I Work For Interpol I'm Supposed To Be Heading Some... INVESTIGATION With My Brother... Can't Tell You More Then That Thought Or Auron Will Have Me Black An Blue For A Week. Maybe Even Revoke My Badge " Dante Laughed Slightly At His Own Words... So It Is True... Dante And Auron Are Heading The New KIRA Investigation... I Was Beginning To Realize How Dangerous My Friendship With Them Was Now... Albeit I Was One Of The Ones They Were Looking For... And What If They Should Happen To Start Knowing To Much... Now That I've Introduced Him Would Kaori Kill Them Both? No... No She Couldn't So Long As Some Idiot Didn't Say Their Names Over The News... But They Did Mention Something About Given Names Once... Then Again They Were My Enemies Now Even If We Were Still Friends Outside This Whole KIRA Business. This Situation Could Get Bad... And Worse...
" YO KIAMARI You Alive In There? " Dante's Voice Broke My Thoughts As His Hand Waved Back And Forth In Front Of My Face
" What? Oh, Yes, I'm Sorry I Was Thinking... "
" Well Bud Here's Your Laptop... " He Handed Me My Laptop And I Set It Aside On My Chair " I Just Got A Very Angry Text From Auron So I Gotta Fly But I'll See You Again Alright? Call Me Up And We'll Go Hit Some Coffee Shop Or Something. It Was Nice Meeting You Apple Girl " He Called To Kaori. I Nodded As He Left The Apartment After Which I Walked To The Window And Watched Him Leave. Then A Thought Struck Me...
" Mrs. Kaori May I Be So Bold As To Ask You Something... " She Gave Me A Rather Strange Look But Then She Spoke...
" I Suppose... But It Depends On What You Want To Ask... " I Reached For My Coffee Table And Pulled The End Of It Up Slightly Revealing A Small Hollow Space Invisible To Those Who Did Not Already Know Of Its Existence... Out Of It I Pulled My Death Note... I Hadn't Touched It Since I Got Home After My Call With Mrs. J.J...
" I Wanted To Ask You About... Your Shinigami... " She Seemed To Freeze. " Well Surely You Have One. I Mean From What I Know Your Death Note Is Not Like Mine So It Must Have A Shinigami With It Right? " I Paused And Waited For Her To Answer... She Seemed To Look At Me Oddly... But.. No She Wasn't Looking At Me She Was Almost Looking Through Me... At Someone Else.. SomeTHING Else... Then
" You Don't Really Think That Shinigami Exist Do You SK? "
" Hmm.... " I Flipped Open The Death Note To The Rules Until I Found The One I Needed.... " Ahh... This Note Shall Become The Property Of The Human World Once It Touches The Ground In The Human World. " I Close The Note, I Know The Rules By Heart So It Was Easy To Recite Them Without Looking At It. " The Owner Of A Death Note Can Recognize The Image And Voice Of The Original Owner... " I Lean Closer To Her And Talk Quietly " A Shinigami... For Example... Mrs. Kaori. Surely You Know Of All This I Can Only Assume That You To Have Read The Rules... "
" You Know The Rules Pretty Well SK... But That Doesn't Mean I Have A Shinigami With Me... " She Was Stubborn That's For Sure... Wasn't Much Getting Around Her But I Figured She Was Just Being Cautious...
" Alright I'll Admit I Don't Believe In The Existence Of Shinigami But With This Note " I Hold Up My Death Note " I'm About Ready To Believe Anything... But I Must Ask... You Have Not Really Shown That You Are KIRA... " She Looked At Me In Shock
" What Are You Talking About? " I Looked At Her Then Tapped My Table With My Death Note And Looked Her In The Eyes...
" I Mean Your Death Note Kaori... I Have Yet To See It.... "
