"You're staying with me at my apartment."
I blinked and twitched inwardly. Her apartment was beyond destroyed. There were cans all over the floor and papers strewn all about.
"This place is a mess." I hardly realized what I said until she replied.
"Its not that dirty."
I stared in disbeleif at the disaster before me when a huge black mass came bounding toward me.
"Ahh!!" I shreiked as it pounced and landed square on my chest, but rather than eating me as I expected, it just stared me down.
"Dont be afraid, its just my dog"
"DOG!?! THIS IS NO DOG!"
She called him, "Oka, off." and the 'dog' gently stood up and stood beside her.
Once inside her phone rang, playing some song I'd never heard before. After a few short, hurried sentences, she announced that she was off and grabbed enough weaponry to support a small army.
"I'm going out for a bit. Help yourself to anything," she said pointing to a pile of papers. "Im trusting you on this, that pile is every bit of data from the previous kira investigation. I suddest you study."
Then she turned to Oka and said "Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't leave"
After she was gone I got straight to work. It had taken almost all of my will power not to start the second I'd entered but goddamnit I'm way too timid. My fingers itsched to get rid of the catastrophe befroe me and restore order. I grabbed a recycling bin from the kitchen (well, it resembled a kitchen) and began to toss the cans into it. There was no way in hell I'd be able to concentrate on those files unitl this mess was taken care of.
About 45 minutes later, I sighed and sat down on a couch in the now relatively clean apartment. Now to those files. I stared at the coffee table where I had piled most of them until I could get to sorting them out aswell. I grabbed a poorly organized stack of records. Every single killing by the originial KIRA was there in a chronological order, or were until they came into her hands. I started by putting them back in order. Next I picked up a list of potential KIRA suspects. It was long and incredibly tedious to put it all back in alphebtical order.
After sorting through thousands of papers, I had learned little that I already knew. One thing, a very major thing mind you, caught my attention. A list of suspects quite unlike the one I first sorted through. It was covered in different coloured inks where someone had circed or crossed out several names several times. Eventually, there was only one name circled several times in a variety of coloured. The name was Light Yagami.
I dug throught teh other piled I had constructed in my organizing and found his file. He was so young when he became KIRA. A high school student. And he was intelligent, very intelligent. Top of all his classes in highschool and university. And he worked with L.
I stared at the file, shocked. L? No way. Was that how they caught him? Lured him in so that he couldn't resist the irony, then monitor him until he slipped up? If Gine has these files then she must have worked with him at some point, too. That or she stole the file, and God knows it would be one hell of code to break. I doubt that she'd steal the files from L undetected, in fact I'm almost positive. Perhaps she attempted it, but was caught and recruited by L, just like I was caught and recruited by her?
I gently rubbed the corners of my eyes where they were beginnning to itch for sleep. I sighed and leaned back on the couch. Checking my watch I realized that it was now almost 11:30 pm, and I hadn't eaten since we were at that cafe practically 12 hours ago. I got up and searched the freshly cleaned kitchen, where it still smelled of dish soap. Oka lifted his head as I passed him and watched me. What a creepy dog.
In the fridge I found nothing but energy drinks and coffee cream. Figures. Shutting the fridge I checked the cupboards and founda box of cheese crackers. Probably not the best meal on the planet, but it would have to do. I sat down at the table and arranged 12 of the crackers in 3 by 4 rows in front of me. I admired the simplcity and symmetry of the formation before popping two of the crackers in my mouth.
Then I heard The front door open, a slight pause, then close. Gine's calm, solomn voice came from the living room. "What did you do to my apartment?"

Yeah, its kinda long for what I usually do, I think, but I haven't posted in a while so its about time I got caught up. I've been lazy with my posting lately. Also, I know some people call him Raito, but I've always known him as Light, so thats what I used.
