Time to Follow
Part 4
Kuro had no clue what hit her, literally. She was walking to class trying to get around a crowd shouting for Misa when something hit her and she was blind folded and now she assumed was in a car.
It came to a stop and she was pulled out and led somewhere. She felt like it was inside. Now into an elevator, the music gives it away, an walking somewhere on the correct level. Soon she felt calloused hands, probably male, putting her onto something.
Kuro had an idea about what this was about. She live with Kira, but she herself was odd she must be suspected. But was it L behind this, she had no idea.
"Good evening Keira," said a changed voice over an intercom. The men left the room and she was there tied to some metal contraption.
"Good evening," she replied keeping her head straight, it didn't matter she was still blind folded, and now as currently missing class.
"Do not worry about you classes, we told your school that you would be out for a while," replied the changed voice.
"Why will I be out for a while?" she asked.
"You are going to be under 24/7 surveillance under suspicion that you are either Kira or the second Kira," it replied.
"I figured as much," she replied.
"What do you mean, are you admitting that you are one of the Kiras?"
"Do not twist my words, I never said such a thing."
"Then what did you mean by that statement?"
"That, I have no right to tell you unless you reveal yourself," said Kuro.
"Fine then. I am L, the detective in charged of the Kira case," he said.
"Who thought we would meet like this. Well then I shall tell you that I have been secretly doing my own research on the Kira case and I have found someone who is highly suspicious, as well as an idea as to who the second Kira is," replied Kuro. She didn't want to tell him just yet who she was, but she knew he would figure it out soon.
"And who do you suspect?"
"Light Yagami as Kira, and Misa Amane as the second Kira."
There was a gasp over the intercom, not one made by L either.
"Then you and I have reached the same decision, but mine alters a bit," he said.
"Because I somehow fit into your equation," said Kuro.
"Yes, you are tied as the top suspect for Kira. I know you don't interact with Misa but she could have just chosen Light over you because she's a young girl, at this age is always looking for a boyfriend, besides you," said L.
"Or maybe she knows something both you and I don't know and has full evidence that Light is Kira. Her killing style seems to be different, it almost seems that all she needs is a face."
"Hmm, Yagami-san, please go remove her restraints she has proven that she doesn’t need them," said L with something in his mouth that was muffling his voice a bit, the voice changer didn't help.
She heard a door open and felt the calloused hands remove her from the restraints and her blindfold and helped her sit down on a bench.
She watched him leave and the looked at the wall in front of her. It was a while before she heard the voice again but this time, L clear clean voice came through the hidden speakers.
"Kuro," he said.
"I thought you would have realized it sooner, L," said Kuro.
"I had thought about it and it was confirmed now," he said.
"And I assume that it is just you and me talking with no prying ears," said Kuro.
"Yes. Now, I trust your opinion, Kuro, for you were at Wammy's, but finding out your identity only makes you more suspicious for now I know your personality and it is one that fits Kira, especially knowing how your parents died," said L coming inside the room and ;sitting' next to her.
"That is true. Then keep me here for as long as you need and if you need help I can offer it to you," Kuro said.
"I was planning on that, and here I have this letter, you may want to read it," said L and he left the room with a piece of paper left in the spot where he 'sat'. Kuro, in interest, picked the paper up and saw that it was a letter to L from Roger.
'L,
I am worried for them. Mello and Keiko seemed to have taken a liking for each other leaving Matt to occupy his time with more video games and KJ has been all alone now. Keiko and KJ got in a fight not long ago and the fights seem to come more from those four. I haven't seen Near for months. I would give his letters under the door of his room and his food is placed outside his door and then picked up later. He seems to be looking for Kuro but it must be impossible after this long. If you aren't too busy, help him.
-Roger'
"Near. . ." said Kuro as she stared at the letter.
"You should write a reply. I will send it for you," said L over the intercom. Kuro shook her head.
"Just tell them I'm with you," said Kuro and then she laid down and put her back to that one wall.
Kuro was finally released. She was under house arrest however, she had just two rooms, while Misa had a whole floor, but she didn't care, she wasn't a materialistic star. All Kuro needed was a kitchen, bathroom, and a bed, and that is what she got. What she didn't need to see, however, was L and Light being chained together.
With the help of Kuro's evidence that she had supplied to L over the course of her lockdown, he seemed to be more suspicious of Light, but nothing was enough to actually prove anything. So the way L saw it was that the best thing to do was to chain them together.
"Keira can you make cake?" asked L one day.
"Yes, I make very good cake," said Kuro as she sat on her couch reading while L and Light were checking up on her.
"I know that, I meant can you make me some cake please," said L.
"I'm reading, make it yourself," said Kuro not looking up from her book.
"But you make better cake, the best cake ever," said L and he pouted at her.
"Please, Keira, being chained to him when he is like this is not good," said Light.
"Being near him when he is in sweet withdraw is not good," said Kuro as she turned a page and read on.
"Please Keira," said L.
"Oh alright," said Kuro and she got up and walked into the kitchen and started making the cake.
"You know Ryuuzaki, I've never seen you act like this, especially to someone who you suspect as Kira," said Light.
"It just what one has to do for cake as good as hers," said L as he went back to his intellectual self.
"I've never had her cake before," said Light.
"Well then be prepared for something good," said L. Kuro walked back and took her seat on the couch and continued to read her book.
"How long?" asked L.
"Half an hour, now stop bugging me for I'll Watari to bring Misa up here for girl talk, he always listens to me on that one," said Kuro.
"But that is torture for yourself as well right?" asked Light. Kuro just held up clear ear plugs and then put them back in her pocket.
"She isn't that stupid," said L.
"L, Light, we have an issue involving Yotsuba, come down here now!" said Yagami otou-san's voice.
"I'll send Watari up to get the cake later," said L and they both left.
"Matsuda did something stupid again I bet," said Kuro as she stretched her legs out on the couch in their absence and just read on.
Like L said, forty five minutes later, after Kuro had finished adding the butter cream and strawberries, just how L liked it, she heard and knock on her door and saw Watari walk in, but he brought something with him.
"Trade you, cake for piece of paper," said Kuro holding and cake out to him with one hand and the other outstretched to receive the paper.
"Done," said Watari and he put the letter in her hand and carefully took the cake in both of his.
"Hopefully he likes it," said Kuro.
"Would you like me to save you a piece?" he asked.
"It isn't gluten free so give it all away," said Kuro and Watari nodded and left.
Kuro sat back down and couch and looked at the letter.
'L,
I have told Near and would like to say a few things to Kuro. He misses her and wishes to speak to her again. He has gone very distance from the others in his search for her. The next time they meet he has something very important to tell her.
-Roger'
"Hmm," said Kuro as she put it on her table and continued to read her book.
