The Third Kira

Stalker

*image not mine*

//Time Skip: 6 Days\\

I do my nightly check up on dad's files. It seems like a couple people left the task force. People like that don't deserve to be a part of the police. Running away with their tails between their legs when things get scary. I look at the time and realize it's almost time for the prep course. I grab my backpack and put the Death Note inside. Then I put on my shoes and head downstairs. Light's standing at the door waiting for me.

"Ready to go?" He asks, opening the front door.

"Yeah." I walk out and he closes the door behind us. Robo keeps glancing over at Light. I walk a little slower so I'm out of Light's peripheral vision and look at Robo. He looks back at me and I mouth 'why do you keep looking over at my brother'. He looks like he's been caught doing something bad and shrugs. I roll my eyes and catch up with Light.

During the middle of class, I notice Robo going over to the window. I think I see him mumble something but I can't hear him. Then I see him nod and look out the window. After he stands there for a minute he comes back over to me and sits down on the floor, waiting for the class to be over.

"Oh crap, forgot my backpack in the classroom. You can go home without me, I'll just be there a little later than you." I turn away from Light and start running back to the classroom.

When I get back outside, Robo looks around a bit before continuing to follow behind me.

"What has you so stressed Robo?" I ask as we start walking home.

"I'll tell you when we get home, you probably shouldn't talk to me before we get there though." A confused look spreads across my face as I continue walking. What does he mean by that?

After a few minutes of silence, we make it to the front door. As I start opening it, Robo speaks again.

"Don't react at all when I tell you this, don't even answer me until we get to your room... you're being followed." Robo whispers the last part but I hear him all the same. I turn the doorknob normally and walk inside, closing it and locking it behind me. I immediately head upstairs to my room. Just as I close my room door, I turn to Robo.

"I'm being followed? Are you serious?" He nods his head to my closed window curtains. I peek through the crack between the curtains and see someone walking away from the house.

"How long have they been following me?" I back away from the window and look over at Robo.

"I only noticed him earlier at your prep course thing. I hadn't noticed him before that though." So it was a man.

"Do you know what his name was?" I ask as I put away my school stuff and start studying.

"Yeah, I know what his name was. But I can't tell you, that could have a complicated turn out." Robo sits down on my bed and yawns.

"Complicated?" What would be the matter with telling me the name of one measly human?

"I'd rather not get into it. Even though I can't tell you his name, I do have a solution to your problem. Shinigami like me can tell the name and lifespan of a human by just looking at them. We have special eyes. I could give you the power of Shinigami eyes if you want, it would only cost half of your remaining life span."

"Absolutely not. I can deal with a stalker for a short while, I don't need to give away half of my life just to know his name. And if my theory is correct, that person is probably following Kira suspects to aid the police." Robo looks shocked at my last comment.

"Hold up, when did you come up with that theory?"

"The other day, I was looking through dad's files and saw that they knew Kira had some kind of ties to the police. My father works for the police, I'm a student, and I live in the Kanto region of Japan. It's obvious I would be a suspect, Light probably is too. If Kira is also being followed, there's a big chance he'll take care of whoever's following him." I turn away from Robo and continue studying.

After an hour of studying, I put my stuff away and head over to my bed. Robo fell asleep sitting on the side of my bed. I hit him on the head with my fist and he immediately wakes up.

"Hey! What was that for?" He rubs his head and stands up.

"You were sleeping on my bed." He rolls his eyes and shuffles over to the window.

"You're not nice at all, you know that?" He plops down on the floor and falls asleep again. I ignore him and get into bed, it's not long before I fall asleep too.
