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..."
