The Light Of Death (A Death Note Fanfiction)

Chapter 5: Open Opportunity

*Light Yagami's P.O.V.*

I stick my thumb up behind my back almost as if to say
"I know. I got it. I understand." So Ryuk gets the idea.
I look to "Kid" and can't believe I'm actually talking to-
"What are you gonna do? Kill him? Ooh yes kill him." The annoying shinigami says in my ear.
I shake my head, subtly, so Kid doesn't notice.
"Just take a pen. The book's already in your hand. Come onnnn" Ryuk eggs on.
"So Kid." I begin. "Where you from? I haven't exactly seen you around here before." I flash an innocent smile.
"Oh.. I'm um..." He begins.
I quickly duck into an alley, out of sight.
"It's him, the son of the most powerful shinigami." Ryuk states.
"I know. I know. I heard you the first time." I whisper. "But that makes him a shinigami too right? So the question is, can he see you?"
"He's still in training. I don't think so. He would've said something right?" Ryuk points out.
"Yes, right." I reply, stepping out of the alley. I look to see Kid standing still, confused.
"Sorry, my lucky pen rolled into the alley, couldn't lose it, it means the world to me." I assure him.
"Alright." He says, unsurely. We continue to walk.
"Light, right? Well... I'm sure you have heard of this Kira. Am I right in assuming so?" He asks me.
"Yeah, everyone knows Kira." I chuckle slightly.
"So I've heard... Well, what's your opinions on this 'murderer'?"
Murderer? I'm not a murderer. Well... Maybe I am... Maybe that's a good thing.
"Well, I think Kira is doing the world justice. Killing off criminals, getting rid of corrupted souls, crime rate has gone down a lot." I say, proudly.
His eyes widen, and he smiles, as if an idea popped into his head.
"Corrupted souls you say? Like, Kishin souls?" He asks, still smirking.
"Um, if you mean 'evil' souls then yeah, why?" I ask, suspiciously.
"Marvelous, and no reason at all, just curious. Maybe Kira is doing the world good."
"Yeah, of course."
******************************
We walked the whole way to the
building where task force is located. I looked down at my watch. 9:30pm right on time.
"Well, Kid, here's my stop. Where you headed?" I ask the short, black haired boy.
"I don't know." He glances at the girls behind him.
"Kid, we're tired. We need rest." Liz states, wearily.
"Oh um, do you guys need a place to crash? There's plenty of open rooms here. No cost." I offer them.
"Oh that wont be necessa-"
"YES THAT'D BE GREAT!" Liz exclaims, cutting off Kid and practically throwing herself at me.
"Well then, follow me."
I lead them to the elevator and took them to the highest floor.
We step out of the elevator and I lead them down the hall to a room.
"Here you go guys. Do you think you can manage here?" I ask them
"Yes yes. It's fine-" Kid replies. "-Liz and Patty you can sleep on the couches"
"Ugh" the girls groan.
"Well... I'll be off. I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"Bye Light." Patty giggles.
Liz shoots a death glare at her little sister. I walk out of the room and continue to the elevator.
***************************
Back at home I sit on my bed and toss Ryuk an apple.
I sit and ponder about my next move.
"Ooh I know that face, I like it. What's your plan?" Ryuk asks me.
"Well, if I can somehow get this kid on my side, it'll be so simple, he's a shinigami, he could easily make the eye deal with his dad and his life wouldn't even be shortened. We'd be an unstoppable team."
"What if he doesn't want to join you?" Ryuk asks, devouring his apple.
"I have a plan for that too." I flash a menacing smirk.
Kira will be victorious.
