The Curse of Light Yagami

Take Two - Chapter 4

Light ignored the confused and concerned looks he was receiving when sketching out the Shinigami he had seen on the bus. It confirmed his theory that Mikami had some connection to Kira, he had to be someone Kira trusted to let him take a part of the death note and his Shinigami with him to the bus jacking but Light couldn't stop asking himself why Kira would send someone else in his place after all, in Light's perspective this was the second time this had happened to him and nothing had changed from the first time, Mikami was the one who got on the bus and pestered Raye into revealing his identity. Light had always believed that Kira was an intelligent individual so, why would he trust Mikami so much to get Raye's identity and not do it himself. It just didn't make sense. Light quickly finished up his drawing and once he was satisfied that he had captured the likeliness of the Shinigami his closed his sketchbook and turned to look at the two other occupants.

"I know you have questions and I will answer them in due course however, I want to explain my situation first. I know you won't believe it, trust me. I know it sounds insane but since I'm here and not on my way home like I was the first time around. I know for certain this is real. So, all I ask for you is to listen and not ask questions until I've finished and by doing so I know that I can trust you and I promise to explain everything that I know without withholding information from you" Light said. Naomi and Raye shared a look with each other, they weren't sure what to make of Light Yagami however, he had said he had answers towards finding Kira then it would be worth listening him out before taking the information to the police. They nodded.

"Thank you" Light started before taking in a deep breath, he didn't need to breathe which was a strange concept for him like not needing to blink but since they both had been automatic process that his body would originally done for him now, they were something he needed to think about to make it look that he was still alive or at least to people who didn't know his circumstances. Light began "I'm from four months into your future. I was sent back in time to stop Kira; he was able to fool L into believe that Kira was someone else and they died for Kira's crimes when the real Kira got off scot free".

"I met the Shinigami King, and he told me that Kira uses a death note. A notebook which allows you to kill anyone by writing their name in the notebook with their face pictured in the user's mind. Using this Kira become practically unstoppable because he doesn't need to physically be there when he's killing people. The Shinigami King said that that Kira was destroying the balance between life and death and he had to stop him. I can recount the events leading up to the arrest of the fake Kira which will help us to anticipate his next step however, I don't have the proper police or FBI training to arrest Kira which is where you come in" Light explained before murmuring underneath his breath "and I need someone to deal with L for me".

"When I was sent back in time I was gifted with the ability to see people's names and lifespans which are called the Shinigami eyes. They will help us locate the real Kira as, someone who owns the death note won't have a visible lifespan. It's also how I know your real names without being introduced well that and future knowledge. If Raye Penber revealed his identity to Teru Mikami like he had planned then on December 27th all 12 FBI agents who were brought to Japan were killed. Later - on January 1st Naomi Misora disappears without a trace, she is believed to have been killed by Kira and her body was never found. Now, that I have alter the timeline we need to be careful to ensure that you and the other eleven FBI agents' identities will not revealed".

Naomi first wanted to completely dismiss everything which had come out of Light Yagami's mouth yet, her gut instincts, those same instincts which kept her alive during the LA:BB case were screaming at her to believe Light, that what he had told them was in fact the truth but the idea that Shinigami exist and Kira was killing with only a notebook sounded ridiculous and the fact that Light said he was from the future. It just didn't make sense. Why would the Shinigami king chose Light Yagami as someone who would defeat Kira? Why something was missing from all this.
