Death Note: Tokyo

Midori was coming down the street with an apple being tossed up and down from her hand. There was a michievous grin playing on her fair face. "So, Momochi, you were saying that the reason why I even came into contact with you and this notebook was because you were told to just throw it aside into my world by some thug Shinigami named Ryuk?" she whispered so no one around her would grow suspicions. The sidewalk was crowded with so many locals that it was a bit difficult to travel.

Momochi nodded his skeletal head as he walked behind her, unnoticed by the Tokyo citizens. "Yes...He hung around some human during your world's year of 2010...or was it 2009..." He began to ponder restlessly, but then he began to growl. "Are you going to give me that apple or what?"

"Yeah, but only if you answer my next question...Do all Shinigami like apples? You told me this Ryuk did...and when he couldn't get his filthy hands on any he gets all twisted and desperate." Midori sighed, playing with her hair.

"Not all of them do..." Momochi replied.

At that moment some one was walking by Midori and happened to look up seeing the shinigami and stopped suddenly,"A shinigami? here?"He mutterd outloud.

"How do you know that?" Midori asked in anoyance. "How did you know Momochi was here? And keep your voice down!" she shouted in a whisper. "Do you want the whole world to know his existance?"

Momochi groaned. "I answered your question! Give me that apple!"

Midori sighed. "Fine, here." She tossed the apple into the air.

Momochi caught it within his bony grasp and chowed down on it like a mad man.

Hiro grinned,"I only have one word to convince you I'm not your foe at the moment,"He said and leaned close to her and whispered in her ear,"Kira..."He breathed and added,"if you whish to speak more follow me to this adress."He said as he slippedher a piece of paper with an adress on it,"You have thirty minutes to get there or i kill you."He said as he melted into the crowd.

Midori stared down at the piece of paper and grinned, memorizing the address. "Momochi... this appear to be very promising. He might have the Shinigami eyes which means he should have a Death Note...but... I'm not sure if my theory is true...We shouldn't take any chances declining his message..."

"What if he's a fake?" Momochi asked.

"We can only see for ourselves, Momochi. It leaves me no choice... We will have to visit him..."Midori chuckled. "There's no second guessing that he has Shinigami eyes. Here's my reasons... the only way he could have seen you if he had them. Now... let's go. Time cannot be stopped." She found her way to the house in only 15 minutes flat. She came up to the door step and knocked lightly on the wood. Around her neck was a black strap that held a mysterious bag by her right side. She opened up the flap so she could draw out her Death Note. She gazed at the lettering for a short period and placed it gently back into the bag. "You think this is the place?"

"Like you said, we'll see for ourselves." Momochi leaned back against the house with his arms folded, waiting.

Hiro opened the door, his death note in his jacket inner pocket,"so, you came Midori Orochi..."He said as he ushered her inside and closed the door.

Midori smiled. "I was right. You do have the Shinigami eyes. It was only obvious. Congragulations on your finding of the second Death Note. I'm not sure if there are any others abandoned in Japan."

He grinned and turned to a small counter with several drinks,"I have assurances that there are several more as-yet-to-be discovered Death Notes, by the way would you like a drink?"He asked as he made himself a Vodka and orange.

"Really? How do you know?" Midori asked. "And yes, please."

Hiro made her a drink and passed it to her, ignoring her question,"So...you've heard all this stuff about Kria being back right? The angel of justice and all that bullshit."he siad while watching her.

Midori took the drink and sipped it. "Yeah, I watch the news everyday. It's always on. The show that was taken off years ago is back on. You know, Kira's Kingdom?"

Hiro snorted,"Bullshit is what it is...The angel of justice? Kria isent back. you and I both know this."

"I know how you feel. It's only the power of the Death Notes and nothing more," Midori said with a giggle. "Why are they soo foolish. They even have a cult put together for Kira. They're pitiful!" She took another sip.

Hiro shrugged and knocked backhis drink,"So, your note...what are you going to use it for?"

Midori growled at the thought of seeing an ugly looking man with a gun in his hand, threatening people. "I want to kill murderers."

Hiro grinned and drew his gun at that comment,"And you are innocent of murder by doing that?"He asked,"If you were to write my name in your note it wouldbe no different than if you took my gun and shot me in the head."He said,"The difference is that you dont randomly kill murders, rapists, and others of the like, its that you have a purpose behind those lives...make them count toward a bigger goal."He said as he put his weapon away.

Midori nodded. "Right, it's the same as murdering, but it's for a right cause...right?"

Hiro nodded and turned to Momochi,"And what of you, Shinigami? what do you plan to do?"He asked.

"I'm just here to follow along. I know it's against the rules, but I'm watching out for Midori," Momochi replied serenely. "I should have gotten myself a second notebook..."

Hiro nodded,"Well Midori, I know your name but you may call me K, for now."

Midori nodded in understanding. "Of course."

"Does anyone else know of our whereabouts?" Momochi asked.

"no, this building techinacly dose not exist."He answered as he went to make another drink. He looked at her,"How old are you anyways?"

"Good..." Momochi replied.

"Um... I'm seventeen, k." Midori said before drinking.

K grinned,"Dont worry, i'mnot about to say you cant drink, its your own inhibitions not mine."

Midori giggled and then took another sip. "Yes!"

K walked around turning on computers, several of them showing video feed of traffic, prision interiors as well as several police raidos.

"K, what are you up to?" Midori was wondering. She was watching his every step and so was Momochi.

"I have hacked the mainframs of our dear Tokyo, noone can escape my eyes...noone."He said quitely,"Feel free to make a drink, beds are in the back room as well as showers, feel free."

"You mean... we can live here??" Midori asked, feeling excited.

"of course, I know youlive with your parents but perhaps they can understand...?"He said nodding and watching her reaction.

"Yay!!! Thanks!!" Midori yelled, almost spilling her drink when she gave K a hug. She turned to Momochi. "Hey, Momochi? Can you keep an eye on my parents every once in a while? I don't want anything happening to them."

Momochi smiled a toothy smile. "Yes, I will. Anything for Mistres Midori."

"Thanks, Momochi!" Midori giggled.

K glanced at her,"Your getting drunk."

"No I'm not!" Midori blinked. "I only had one glass!" She smiled. "I'm just a little clumsy, that's all."

K shruged and said,"Right..."But left it at that.

Midori sat down at the kitchen table and layed the drink aside. She set her bag on the tabletop so she could open it up for the notebook. She lifted the flap up and slid out the Death Note. "Here we go..." Midori took out a pen and wrote the single name of a mass murderer from what she saw on the tv.

K glanced at her,"Wait...dont finish that name yet."He said as he pulled up the case file on the murderer,"Hmmm...Tonrigi Kakazua, age 45, divicorced three kids...never missed a child support payment untill the murder of half his neighborhood. aressted on bare evidence..."

"Oops!" Midori scratched that name out of the notebook. Then she began to laugh. "I should do some more researching before I do that again." She blushed from embarrassment. "That was close."

He frowned."Thats why i have this system."He said then looked at her closly,"When was the last time you had a shower and a nap?"

"Yesterday," Midori said. "I skipped school today so I could ask Momochi questions and get an apple for him."

He looked at her,"You look tired..."He said as he got up and opened the door to the back rooms,"Get some sleep. there are curtains on each bed and three queen beds and one matser bed. it is reserved for couples so dont get in that one. I plan to get more people here."

Midori yawned. "Okay. Thanks." She headed towards the back rooms and began getting ready for bed after the door was closed.

Momochi just leaned back against the kitchen wall.

Hiro sat back down and started typing,"Krin...come here."He said and a shinigami that looked alomst human bsides a slightly skeletal look appeared,"Yeah?"He asked,"Make sure our other prospects are not up to anything..."He said."Sure."Krin replied and waving a farewell to momochi he dissapeared.

Momochi waved back.

Once Midori was ready, she climbed into one of normal-sized comfy beds and tried to get some sleep.

The next morning K was at the computers drinking coffee, he had written over 300 names during the night and was just monitoring the cameras again.

Midori got up from bed and got dressed. She left the back rooms and headed into the kitche only to end up greeting Momochi. "Hi!" She said. "Can you take a bit of time to check on my parents?"

"Of course!" Then Momochi vanished.

Midori turned to K. Good morning! You've been up all night writing names?"

He nodded,"I have, i have to look upeach and every person before i write their names...and i must also write causes. 300 heart attacks in one night is a little suspicious. thats how kira got caught."

"Yeah... you're right..." Midori got herself breakfast and began to eat. "It's a thursday so... i guess I should be going to school in a little bit."

He glanced at her,"There is no need, if youlook at your school records you have been graduated early. It seems your parents singed youup for a program that acclerates graduation if compleated."

"Really? Perfect!" Midori shouted. "Perfect for working on my Death Note."

He watched her closely,"Your parents have also agreed to allow you to stay here, they belive me to be a partime teacher."He said,"Your things should be delivered by mid-day."

"Good!" Midori blushed. "How old are you?"

"22"He answered, then raised his eyebrows at her blush.

"Wow, you're older than I thought," Midori said.

He turned to her,"And how old did you assume i was?"He said noticing her blush did not fade away.

"18," she replied.

He turned away,back tothe computers,"It dosent matter anyways,In Tokyo the age limit for a female 17 year old is 23 in the same house and not blood related."

She laughed. "I know." Midori walked over to him and watched the computer screen.

He glanced up at her and stretched,"I'm gonna hit the shower, look at what ever youwant. these are hooked up to a satillite."He said as he walked off, removing his shirt before pushing the door slightly closed.

Midori's cheeks went red when she saw his bear back, but then quickly moved her eyes to the screen and sat down. she layed her and on the mouse and started to scroll through the information.

About twenty minutes later He walked out with a towel around his waist and drying his hair,"Anything intresting?"

Midori's cheeks went rose red again. "No...nothing...wait...Do you know anyone by the name of Takahashi Mitzoru? It says he's been known to set bombings in multiple areas in northern Japan, killing 1,672 people in total."

He nodded,"Hai...i wanted to wait till he was caught so i could kill him when the world was watching..."He glanced down at her and smirked at her blush,"Something you like?"

"Uh...nothing," she said swiftly. "It's rather...awkward that you don't have clothes on beneath all that...."

He grinned and removed the towel, revealing shorts,"Dont get your hopes up."He said jokingly.

"Yes! He's wearing shorts!" Midori's blush went away. Then she went back to the computer.

He just shook his head and tapped a few keys on another keyboard.

a few hours after getting fully dressed, K stood up and headed for the door,"C'mon, lets go."

Midori nodded, gathered her things from the kitchen table and met K at the door. "Um... where are we going?"

K just shook his head,"Just follow me."He said as he hailed a cab and opened the door,"Laides first."

"Okay... and thanks." Midori stepped into the cab and sat down.

As K got in the cabbie turned around,"Where to?"He asked,"The prision...i have someone there."He said as he gave a bit of money to him,"Again? thats the fourth time this month buddy." K grined but said nothing.

Midori understood now. They needed names and faces of murderers and the best place to get them was at the prison if none of them were talked about on tv.

They arrived at the prision and went through security and waited at a both,"Now Midori I'm going to ask you to remain slient this is very delicate work, when i cant get their files i must meet them in person, you understand?"He asked as the prisioner approaced them.

Midori nodded. "Don't worry. I understand what's going on."

The prisioner sat down and looked at them,"Its you again, have you found the family of the person i killed?"He asked.

"Yes, i have. as You thought they are angry and sad, but they also pity you."K said softly.

"good,"The man said,"Then i can rot here in peace and maybe someday be forgiven."He said as he started to get up.

"Wait a moment, Noji-san."K said as he pulled out his deathnote and placed it on his leg slowly writing a name,"God never forgets and somesay that he wont forgive either."He said as he finished the name,"So are you ready to find out if those rumors are true?"K asked.

"What? wha- what are you talking about? It cant be, you were so kind to me-ARGH!"He said as he suddenyl collapsed to the floor,"Its true...the second comming of Kira..."He said as he died.

"K stood and looked down at him,"May god have mercy on your soul, I wouldnt get my hopes upthough."He said as he closed the mans eyes then called for the guards as he walked out,"Come on Midori, were done."

Midori followed close behind K. She was beginning to grow an affection for him.

K stopped and looked at her,"Midori, that was also a lesson for you, do you know what it was?"

"Well...it helps you be less suspicios..." Misori said quietly.

He smiled softly,"Mercy, is a thing few can afford, espically me...He used to be a friend of mine."He said, watching to see her reaction.

Midori grinned. "I guess we all have to make sacrifices."

He didnt look away fromher,"He was also a cop, I had him framed so well that he belived it himself, the point is...If anything gets in the way of my goal...they are removed. Could you do the same?"

"I'd have no choice," Midori replied.

"What if it was someone you loved?"He countered as he hailed another taxi.

"I'd have a hard time deciding if I should kill them or not...but if I have to...I'd guess I wouldn't have a choice." Midori sighed as the taxi pulled up along the sidewalk.

K nodded and got in the taxi after her and had the taxi take them to a store near his home."Then you are ready."He said as they got out.

Midori nodded and hugged her legs, staring at the floor of the taxi. She gave another sigh, but realized that she had to be more hopeful than this. After all, there was a promising future again.

K got out and walked to the store, bought a few things and walked with her back to the house,"So...Could you kill on command?"

"Yes," Midori replied. "i'm at your service, K." she continued with a laugh. "I'd love to do anything that would benefit the goal."

He smiled,"Good, now touch the note,"He said as he held out his own deathnote.

Midori layed her hands lightly on the notebook, waiting for something to happen. She had never touched another notebook before.

A shinigami was behind K, and he waved,"Hey there."He siad and grinned widley

Midori waved. "Hi! How are you?" she greeted.

Momochi appeared in the taxy, sitting invisible in the passenger seat. "So, you finally met him? Good, good..." He waved.

The shinigami chuckled, seming to glance at something above her head.

K frowned,"You agreeded..."He warned.

Krin smiled,"Its ok boss, i wont say anyhting."

Midori sighed. "Agreed what?" she asked curiously.

K looked at her,"Its nothing really...I'll tell you later."

Midori nodded, but she couldn't wait to get back to the house. "How long have you had the notebook?"

Sam watched inconspicuously from the shadows.

Fisher! I'm sure you remember the Kira case a few years ago, right? Well, it seems there have been a few cases recently mimicking the murders commited by Kira. You must approach the suspects with extreme caution. The police are still treating the incidents as coincidence, but our intelligence suggests otherwise. The current Kira, or possibly even Kiras, shouldn't be able to kill you as long as you keep your mask on. We need you to question the suspects. And like always... no casualties.

"Got it, Lambert," Sam quietly said.

Matsuda approches them. "Hi, i'm Matsuda. I heard you guys talking about kira. Do you know anything about him.. or her?"

K looked at him, motioning Midori to go on ahead,"Every one on the street seems to know about the New Kira or some other crap, anyways whoa re you?"

"I worked for L, trying to capture the last kira," Matsuda replied.

Midori nodded loyally and made her way back to the house. From her side pack she withdrew one of her readings books, Bloody Nights, and began to read, still paying mind to the steps she took.

Matsuda followed Midori with a big smile on his face. "So, what do you know about L?" he asked.

Hiro also followed,"Matsuda-san, as much as We would like to help, we cannot. Midori has school and as for me I'm just too busy."

"Well, do you know anyone i could see?" Matsuda asks.

Hiro looked at him,"You could try the police?"

"yes, thankyou" Matsuda nodded and left.

Midori turned to the following page and placed her book mark in a section called Chapter Two: Crimson Love. then she closed the book and looked up at Hiro with a smile. "He was a little anoying, but I suppose that's how desperate people are these days."

Hiro glanced at him,"Matsuda huh? I'll keep an eye on him for now...I dont like the way he singled us out like that."

"It was rather suspicious. I think he believes us to be some kind of a suspect. It's not like we have anything to hide...." Midori sighed and slipped the book back into her sack. then she pulled out an ordinary notebook with a skull on the cover. Opening it, she went through her old school notes.

Hiro kept walking, "I have got something i need to check out...you'll be all right on your own?"

Midori nodded. "Uh huh. I was thinking about going to the mall later on tonight. I wanted to go to Hot Topic. Would you like to come?"

Hiro glanced at her for a moment,"Do you need me to come?"

"Well... only if you want to come. I'm not forcing you, you know," midori laughed.
