Unexpected

C.16

I actually moved the next day. I moved to the bathroom with my phone. I lied in the tub with my PJs on (just a T shirt and panties) and played sad love songs all day to keep me sane.

There was a knock on the door and I turned my music off and sighed. "What?" I asked. "Can I come in?" L asked and I thought. "Sure." I finished thinking very quickly.

He opened the door and stepped in, sitting beside me and smiling softly at my position. "So... I've found us a job we can do." He said. "Really? What is it?" I perked up.

"So you know there's two Kira's we're looking for in Japan? Well, there's another copycat in America." He said and I saw where this was going. "You, I, and Light will be traveling to America to sort this out and try to get information from this Kira to help us with the other two." He said and I slowly nodded, slightly disappointed it wasn't just us.

"That's it?" I asked and he nodded. "That's it. You better get packing, we leave tomorrow." He said and left without another word. I felt my heart start to crush under the weight, but I held my head up and refused to cry.

I got up and started packing, my eyes filling with tears occasionally. I wanted to ask him if the kiss meant anything and why did he kiss me in the first place, but I was terrified of the answer.

Now I feel like the answer is a bad one.

.......................................

I got up the next morning and I was all packed, I was just waiting for L to come and get me so we could leave. I had my phone and my earbuds in and I was still listening to sad songs.

My door opened and L stepped in. "Are you all packed and ready?" He asked and I nodded. I grabbed my bags and went out with him.

Soon we were in a car going to an airport. I was still silent. When we went through all the bullshit about security, and we're now seated. I was beside L, who had an window seat, and Light was behind us, also in a window. I was reading a book with my earbuds in, L was staring out of the window, and Light was concentrating and writing stuff in a black notebook.

"Hey, Reiko. How do you spell your name?" Light asked and I told him and watched as he wrote it down. I could read a bit upside down, and I read out "heart attack at 11:25 on plane". Because that's not questionable.

I turned back around and checked the time. 11:24. Hurry up, heart attack. I'm dying here. Haha, I'm funny. My funeral will rock.

Eleven twenty five came, and no heart attack. "Say, Light, why did you need my name?" I asked. This should be interesting. "Writing a letter to my sister. She's been wondering where I've been lately, and I've gotta admit, she'll be excited to hear that I've been around two girls." He smirked and I laughed. "Honestly, who doesn't excited over two pretty girls?" I smirked. "Please keep the porn down in public." L sighed.

I sat correctly again and leaned my chin on his hunched shoulder. "Jealous, are we?" I asked. "Why would I be jealous?" He asked, looking at me carefully. "That Light gets all the ladies' attention." I hummed. "Not jealous. Don't care." L said and turned back to the window.

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say." I turned away and L turned back around and caught my chin in his fingertips and turned my face to his. He pressed his forehead to mine and his black eyes bore into my green ones.

"Not jealous. Don't care. I can get attention if I wanted it. Just as easily proven that I have yours, don't I?" He smirked a little and I couldn't breathe. I wasn't breathing. Was this the heart attack?

I thought L was going to kiss me again, but he let me go and turned back to the window. I checked the time. 11:28. No heart attack today, Kira!

Wait....

Light just tried to kill me with a heart attack, from what I'm guessing. Kira kills with heart attacks...

HOLY SHIT.

LIGHT IS KIRA HOLY SHIT!!!!
