The Curse of Light Yagami

Take Two - Chapter 3

Light sat near the back with Raye Penber behind him, if he remember correctly then the lawyer man and potentially Kira would get on the bus two stops from his and then Osoreda was the stop after. On his lap, he had his sketchbook with a light outline of the lawyer's face sketched onto the paper and was ready to fill in the details once the lawyer appeared. It wasn't like he could get away with taking a picture of the man so drawing him was his next best solution. It was a good thing that Light was pretty good at drawing, as for when he was younger before his father had forced him to focus on studying and working towards becoming a police officer he had spent most of his time drawing. He always found it relaxing and at one point hoped he could become a professional artist, hell he even entered some of his work into competitions under an alias and won first prize. Not that he could ever confess to it, his father believe drawing was for little children and girls. Light disagreed but nevertheless, he kept art a secret hobby.

The bus stopped and the lawyer climbed on. Light's eyes slowly travelled upwards to reveal his name - Teru Mikami. Light jotted his name down on his sketchbook before he started to draw. Mikami must have so connection to Kira, his lifespan was there but that didn't mean that he didn't give Kira Raye Penber's name unless Mikami was under the control of the death note too. Light was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt the bus stop and Osoreda climbed aboard.

"Stay in your seats unless you want to die" Osoreda shouted, Light heard Raye take a sharp intake of breath in but what interested Light the most was Mikami. He didn't look scared or worried with their situation at all. Osoreda spoke up again "Everybody, shut up. If anybody moves, I'm putting a bullet in their head. All right driver, you listen to me. I know you've got the number for Spaceland's office on you. Call'em". Light stopped paying attention to Osoreda after all he was more interested in what Kira's accomplice would do next. Light expressed a worried look when Mikami looked over at him just like he had done the first time around. Mikami smiled at him pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote something down before passing the paper over to Light.

'Don't be scared. As soon as he turns around. I'm gonna grab the gun out of his hand' Mikami wrote and Light nodded before passing the piece of paper back. He needed to play along.

"Don't be stupid. That's risky. If it comes to that, I'll take care of it" Raye spoke up, reading the message from over Light's shoulder. A sinister look appeared on Mikami's face before he said.

"Do you have any proof that you not his accomplice? Why should we trust you?. I mean I've seen cases like this before. The first hijacker comes in like he is working alone, meanwhile a second one pretends to be a hostage and stays in the very back just in case something goes wrong" Mikami spoke and Light could see that Raye was conflicted just like before, soon he would reveal he was an FBI agent and die at the hands of Kira, or he would if Light hadn't lived this before.

"I trust you. My father is an NPA cop and he always told me to trust people. You seem trustworthy enough but nevertheless if he was an accomplice or not. He could have some fake ID which would fool someone. It's what I would do if I was an accomplice, if you wanted someone to trust you but without compromising your identity you would show some fake ID" Light said, Mikami looked annoyed before he could say anything a piece of paper dropped from his pocket and Light's heart jumped. Could that be the same note from earlier or a different one. Light reached down lightly brushing his fingers against the piece of paper which caught Osoreda's attention. Light sat up leaving the piece of paper on the floor.

"Don't move, you little punk. What the hell is that? You guys were planning something back here, weren't you?" Osoreda shouted and Light saw bend down. He stormed over and for a second Light wondered whether everything would still play out as it previously had. Would he die if Osoreda shot him now? Osoreda snatched the piece of paper up from the floor and read it.
