In the living room...Saturday morning (2 days before Katari's arrival)...
I sat down on the sofa and invited them to sit down too, this is gonna be a long night...
“...I think it’s time to take the cat out of the bag.” I said while looking at Asahi, “So please...your reports, Nishi you go first...”
“Yes madam, as Mier thought it really is a Death Note and it already has an owner. The owner is a woman...about 24 years old, she hangs out with some wierd people and the Sinigami is...”
“Ryuk...” I added.
“Yes madam, it’s Ryuk.”
“He’s up to no good again...I’ll have a chat with him later, meanwhile keep an eye on the owner, but not to close, I don’t want her to notice you...I’ll see her soon too, not only Ryuk.”
“She will never notice me, I watch her from over a mile, she can not spot me even if she tries.”
“Ok, I’m glad to hear that. Next Lasuto.”
“She is fine, nothing unusual with Rei-chan...”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes miss, I had to infiltrate into your school to watch her closely so I hypnotized a boy in her year into thinking that I’m his cousin.” said Lasuto excited
“O may, you are crazy, you said you were his cousin?”
“That was the only thing I could think of, don’t worry madam, he won’t remember much, but I left him with a vague memory of me...so if I need to go to your school again, I wont need another one, I’ll just use him.”
“Good thinking...cousin...chi...”
“Although I noticed something else at Rei-chan...but it has nothing to do with my assignment...”
“And what that may be?”
“Well I think she likes one of your classmates...she is kind of day dreaming every time she sees him.” *she laughed* “I can not help it, I had to tell you madam.” Said Lasuto
“Yeah...typical for you to notice that kind of stuff...ok I’ll keep that in mind.” I said. “Now Kita, Minami anything to report?”
“No...” *sobbed* said Kita disappointed “I checked and it’s nothing...yet, but I’ll keep my eyes open for anything suspicious.”
“You do that...” I said to Kita, “Minami...do you have something good to bright my day?”
“You have Asahi here...why do you need something brighter?” Minami said while looking at the cat sitting next to me playing with a little ball nanny gave her...
“You know I’m never satisfied with what I already have, now...something?...”
“Well I don’t really know what is it, a she or a he, I presume it’s a he...”
“Yes...ok, that doesn’t really matters...what else?”
“He is kind of...I don’t know the word...desperate, I think...I don’t know mistress, there are a lot of freaks in this world, but this one has them all...” Minami tried to explain.
“Then why did you follow him in the first place?”
“I told you mistress, this guy has them all.”
“Are you putting your skin on the line for this one?”
“No way mistress!...I’m not. But I think you at least have to see him, because we need something fast and it has to be good too...and let me tell you he has a lot to look of...”
“You don’t say...what does he have that makes him so special?”
“He’s smart, he’s very watchful, cautious, mindful and I don’t know...he has something that makes him tick. He has something that normal people don’t have...that thirst for justice that you are looking for.” said Minami, while lighting another cigarette.
“Ok...that made me curious..I wanna meet him, I’ll make him a deal, if he says no I’ll delete the memories about the deal, but I’ll leave the memory about meeting and knowing me.”
“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?” asked Lasuto
“Why? he only knows me and that’s all he’ll know”
“And if he says yes are you gonna warn him before or after he will do it?” asked Minami
“It depends on the circumstances, I’ll see...” I said “He takes long walks, through the neighborhood, right?”
“Yes mistress.” Said Minami “Need an escort?”
“Yeah...Higashi...are you free tonight?”
“I’m always free for you, ojosama.”
“...yes, Minami, you’ll come too. I need you to show me your target...”
“Yes mistress, it would be my pleasure.” said Minami
“Ok people, let’s get this thing started.”
Later, in the evening...in a dark ally, me and Minami were waiting and watching closely the people who were passing by...then I saw him, walking and was so lost in his thoughts, but he looked like he knew where he was going...
“Is that your target Minami?...hm...Now I see what you were talking about, him being special.” I said satisfied
“See mistress, didn’t I tell you. The last time I saw him, a few days ago, he was trying to save a poor girl from some obsessed guys, but he was take by surprise and got a punch.” Said Minami laughing very silent not to draw attention...
“Now leave, I don’t want him to see you, but stay in the shadow and make sure nobody sees us.”
“Yes mistress.” said Minami while sinking in the darkness of the ally.
I took a deep breath and approached, I stood against the wall with my back with my arms crossed, with the hockey stick in one hand and the ball next to my left foot. I was waiting for him to just pass me. When he almost passed me i said:
“Hey stranger.” He looked at me for a second, but kept walking slowly. “I know you feel sorry for those girls, I do to...” my affirmation made him stop, but he didn’t turned, I knew I got his attention, I didn’t turned either and added “You should have seen the smile on their faces when they heard that horrible noise when the girl’s neck broke.” I could hear his breath speeding up and his teeth crunching and said “You know that noise turned them on?...how disgusting...”
“And why are you telling me all of this? he asked “Are you trying to repent yourself for something similar you did or because you stood there and did nothing?”
“No, no...I’m telling you this because I know if you could you would have done something...am I wrong?”
“No, you are right, if I could I would...so what? Is it a bad thing to think like this?” he asked
“Nope....that is why i wanna make a deal with you.”
“......” he said nothing, so I took that as an ok
“What if I tell you how your Lord KIRA made justice? And what if I give YOU that power?”
That made him turn towards me and approached me rapidly, I turned towards him and approached him too. What he saw was a teenage girl about 17 or 18 years old, holding lazy a hockey stick and a ball.
“So?” I asked. He put his hands on my shoulders and said
“Speak.”
“I can not speak here, it’s too crowded, my house is too far away and it’s dangerous to go there, I don’t want us to bee seen.” I said while taking, gently, his hands off my shoulders.
“OK...let’s go to a safer place.” he said
“No restaurant, no shop, no library...you are aware that I have to explain a lot of things to you and only you, nobody has to hear us.” I said. “Is it ok if we go to your place? Or am I asking too much?...oh by the way my name is J.J, but you could call me J-chan, nice to meet you.”
