Chapter 2 Friends or enemies?


Chapter 2

Ryuzaki bit at his thumb in a mockery of good cheer for this was a plan he had been anticipating sense Light's confinement in the cells. Although he knew that it would mean that privacy would become all but mill to none when it came to anything they would be doing around head quarters. Yet he wasn't worried he felt excited just to be able to be around a good friend of his. Yet the fear still hid in the back of his mind that damned 3% sense of doubt that this innocent looking kid could be the mass murderer that he had been trying so desperately to capture. He made his way over to the chair clicking one end of the handcuff to his right wrist and walked up to light and clicked the other end to his left wrist.

"This way we shall not be more than 6 feet away from one another at all times," He said tugging on the chain," Well give or take."

Light stared at his wrist and down the chain back up to Ryuzaki an obvious anger in his eyes about the whole situation," Uhh Ryuzaki? Are you sure this is completely called for?"

"It is completely called for Light-kun," Ryuzaki would say in a calm voice," If I am to eliminate all thoughts of you being Kira I must have full contact with the subject at all time..." His speech was interrupted by Misa's squealing blather again," AH-HA!" She shouted pointing towards him," This guy is a perv do you have some sort of sick bondage fetish Ryuzaki? It's not fair first you confine him to this place but now you're chained to him! Stop trying to take my Light-chan away from me!"

Ryuzaki let out an exasperated sigh holding his head in his hand trying to get a word in edge wise but the constant squeaking emanating from the girl's mouth was enough to give him a splitting migraine.

"Misa," Light's voice said quelling the storm as she looked towards him with fake teary eyes," Ryuzaki still thinks that there is a chance I could be Kira I must oblige to him that he's even letting me stay at headquarters. I myself would have still kept me in confinement so we need to be thankful he's giving me as much slack as he is," Light said tugging at the chain that held them both together eying Ryuzaki a sort of haze of understanding if that makes any sense at all. What was strange was how it felt like he was staring right through him as if he could see just how much he thought that he was Kira. It pained him inside but also shot a shiver up his spine to just how astute he seemed to be and it made him smile all the more.

"Buh-but Light," She would protest.

"Misa we must do all that we can to help this case move forward and if it means it stumps our social life for awhile don't you think that it's more important?"

A sudden wave of guilt and sort of depression washed over Ryuzaki as he sat there thinking to himself his knees brought up to his chest hoping that there would be some way to bring this case a long. He felt that he would have to have the answers but everything seemed to be clogged up in his mind. He reached or a piece of strawberry cake and took a bite the mild sweet flavor becoming an exile to the frustration and irritation he felt.

He noticed that that Light was looking at him and he looked back coming out of his head,"You okay there Ryuzaki?"

He let out a sigh," I don't know this case has seemed to lead up to dead ends lately I'm starting to think we're doing this all for nothing."

To his surprise Light laughed," He cheer up now we have no way in any matter know if that's the case we have to just keep at it ya know, Maybe it would be even better if I did turn out to be Kira then the case would be solved."

How could he be laughing at a time like this in a way he envied Light for having a sunny disposition about such a case when they were nowhere near to a lead. "sorry I can't believe that... I can't. I'm trying too hard... maybe we should just ease up we're only endangering our lives by chasing Kira. Maybe we should just call it quits a waste of time." He would say in a soft mumble. Light would close his eyes and stand slowly.

"Ryuzaki," His voice was calm and soft.

"Huh?" In a flash of a moment he felt Light's right fist come in perfect contact with the right side of his jaw the impact sending him flying backwards doing a flip over the couch the effect pulling Light himself towards his own direction. He laid on the ground holding his cheek looking up at the rage in Light's

"You know that hurt." He mumbled softly holding his hand to his face where the blow had struck him.

"Shut up!" Light screamed at him all he could do was stare back at him as he was aware that he'd be in for the tongue lashing of his life.

"You're moping around and are all sad just because your positive accusation that I was Kira is wrong."

He sighed and wiped his mouth," perhaps I misspoke I meant it would be pointless to go after Kira because we have no real leads so we should do nothing at the current moment. "

"So what?! If we don't go after Kira then he won't be caught. If you were just going to quit why the hell did you involve all those innocent people?!" Light's voice had risen now and he had Ryuzaki by the collar of his shirt he start to feel a little angry himself at the whole situation more than depressed having someone yell at him after just punching him was more than he could handle.

Light would continue to say," More to the point what was the point of putting Misa and I behind bars?!"

"I get it now...but still more to the point," his voice was quiet as he slipped the lower half of his body down so low his head was nearly touching the floor using the force of his falling body to arch up his right leg into a kick straight to Light's jaw sending him flying into the air.

"An eye for an eye my friend." The effect of the launch sent L flying towards Light at a quick speed knocking them both into the couch toppling it over.

"Its not my induction that was wrong the fact is I can say light and misa are kira but It won't be enough to solve the case is that so unreasonable?"

A higher glint of anger appeared in Light's eye one he had never seen before," Yes yes it is listen to yourself it's almost as I you wish that I had been Kira and you won't be satisfied unless I am!"

Things all came together now he didn't want to admit it but that would be a lie if he denied it," I won't be satisfied unless you're Kira huh? In fact now that you mention it I think you're right I wanted you to be Kira."

At this Light shot another fist and it connected with a loud smacking sound as if you had punched a slab of meat that landed right between his eyes but he kept his ground his head not moving as if the blow hadn't connected at all.

"As I said an eye for an eye and I'm much stronger than I look you know."

He twirled the upper half of his body downwards to do a round house kick that slammed his foot against the side of Light's head and the made for each other gripping at each others shirt collar's adrenalin pumping through their veins. Ryuzaki feeling his heart beating at an abnormal rate as it seemed blood lust was in both their eyes both with their fists propped behind their heads ready for a final strike when the room phone rang. To which he Ryuzaki immediately picked it up," Yes?"

It was Matsuda on the other line," Good News Ryuzaki Misa Misa made it in the top ten miss teen popularity poll."

"Oh I see." He said quietly trying to conceal the irritation in his voice at Matsuda's annoying interference.

"And get this she'll be in the next big movie made by mr ichina..." Ryuzaki quickly hung up the phone to spare him from any more of that bogus cover up.

"What was that?" Light asked in confusion .

"Oh it's nothing Matsuda's acting stupid again." He sighed softly and looked back at Light their eyes flare again but Misa Misa get's between them," No stop the fighting now don't hit each other anymore can't you just get along?"

Although he hated to admit it he would need Light's fullest cooperation in this case to be able to handle it so he outstretched a hand," I'd say I'll be willing to let bygones be bygones." Ryuzaki let a slight smirk back at Light who in turn grabbed his tightly in shaking pull to look at each other eye to eye," Let's see this case to the end no matter how it ends." Light says looking back into his new friends eyes.
