Death Note: Life Note

RW Chapter Three

I'm so sorry for not updating in ages XD I've been so ridiculously busy (with Sims, crappy excuse I know). I did get put off updating when someone kinda complained (idk) about something I wrote in an old chapter. It was weird, and kinda amusing at the same time, but highly annoying. Oh well. I also realised that this is full of plot holes.. woops. 

I'm sorry for replying slowly to some comments too! I don't have a Wattpad app on my phone (there's no app for Windows) so I just read the emails I get and forget to reply to them on my computer. I do try to reply to every comment that is left, so sorry if I haven't replied to your comments. 

Also... last little note before the chapter. I'm writing a Naruto AU fanfiction, I wasn't going to upload it before I finished it but I would like feedback on it, is anyone interested in reading it? 

Chapter Three

Great. One Kira was bad enough, and now there are rumours of there being another one. Even worse, this Kira can kill people without knowing their name first.

Two against one.

The odds are stacked against me.

I need to find L quickly; I need to show him the Life Note. The Death Note will then be revealed. Hopefully this'll allow us to capture Kira, well both Kiras now.

I chew on my pen and scowl at my computer. This isn't fair at all.

Maybe I should report myself to the police, claiming to be Kira. But then that will go into the police records, Light will be able to find out that I reported myself. He'll only think I'm either the second Kira, or the one opposing him.

It's too risky.

Maybe I should go up to Light and confess about my knowledge of him being Kira. I should claim to have a Death Note.

Again, risky.

He'll realise I'm lying. He knows my name and I'll be killed.

Wait... Benihime can't be my real name.

A grin spreads across my face.

I get up and run downstairs, I should confirm it first. I can't run around being careless.

I knock on Dad's office door before opening it; as usual he's doing work on it. "Can I talk to you?" I ask and he nods and stops typing.

"Yes, is there something you need?"

"Is Benihime my real name? I want to know."

Dad looks at me with wide eyes, clearly not expecting my question. "Uh... Why do you want to know? You're not trying to capture Kira, are you? Do you know how careless that is?"

I shake my head. "No, not at all. I'm just curious." I say with a shrug of my shoulders.

"Don't tell your mother I told you this, she believes that you should wait another few years before we tell you everything."

"I'm eighteen, I deserve to know." I reply and he nods.

"Yes, but your mother believes you should be twenty-one before we tell you everything." He lets out a sigh "Benihime isn't your real name, but that's all I'm telling you. Especially with this Kira person at large. Knowing your real name will only put you in danger. Only your mother and I know it."

I nod my head before murmuring a thanks and leaving the room.

I'm safe from Kira.

"Yagami-san, can I speak to you?" I ask him when the class ends. He looks at me, clearly confused. We haven't spoken since that time I ditched him at the school gates. I guess he didn't take the rejection too well.

Recently he's been tagging around with that Hideki Ryuuga dude - the one who also scored high on the entrance exams. They made a speech together. I remember it well. That Ryuuga kid is weird. Very weird.

"Yeah, sure. Just wait a second." He says as he quickly gathers his stuff up and shoves it all into his bag.

We walk outside the building and stand out of the way of the other students.

"You're Kira, right?" I say bluntly. His eyes widen briefly before going back to the neutral expression he always wears. He pauses, completely stuck for what he might reply. "I knew it. You're very obvious. You leave traces everywhere, which is very bad. The police are onto you, did you know that?"

"How-" He pauses. "How did you know?"

"Like I said, you've left traces everywhere. I've been tracking the Kira case for months. Since it began actually. I've been curious as to how Kira killed. I agree with his ideologies." I lie. "I want to help, and you haven't denied it, so I now know for sure you're-" His hand covers my mouth. I hadn't realised I was talking a tad too loud, and that weird Hideki Ryuuga kid is walking towards us. I push his hand away from my mouth quickly and try to hide my disgust.

"Light, want to play a game of tennis?" The Hideki Ryuuga kid asks Light, luckily Light accepts the invitation and they walk away, leaving me on my own. Maybe the Hideki Ryuuga kid didn't notice me? I'm not surprised.

I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding before turning around and walking off.

"Kimura-san?" I turn around to see Light Yagami staring at me, his gaze almost murderous.

"Yes?" I reply. I couldn't help but notice the stares Light seemed to be receiving. They must be thinking that he's talking to himself, until they finally notice me. It's quite amusing.

"We need to talk. Alone." Light says. I nod. We leave the building. I follow Light to a vacant spot by a large tree, there's no one else around.

"What do you wanna talk about?" I ask, I force a fake smile. He needs to believe that I want to help him, so acting hostile towards him won't help. He'll realise I'm lying and that I'm really planning on selling him to L. Whoever L is.

"How do you know I was Kira?" He asks, cutting straight to the point.

"I told you! You've left traces everywhere, it's a surprise that L hasn't caught you yet!" I say, a frown spread across my face.

"What kind of traces? How do I know I can trust you?"

I haven't told anyone." I say.

"You're avoiding my original question. What. Traces." His face turns into an angry frown and I step back slightly. He's annoyed.

If I'm not careful he'll figure me out. He'll know I have the Life Note.

"I'm the second Kira." I blurt out, not really thinking about what I'm saying.
