“Long day?” Homura asked, as she watched Matsubusa return.

Matsubusa sighed. “I got mixed up in a busjacking.”

“A busjacking?” She stared. “What happened?”

“The perpetrator escaped the bus and was run over by a car.” Matsubusa sighed.

Homura frowned. “Do you think it was Kira?”

“Kira only kills by heart attacks, Homura. Don’t worry.” Matsubusa smiled. “I doubt it was his work.”

“I still think…”

“Homura, dear, you aren’t an FBI agent any more. We’ll be married in a few weeks, and we can leave Japan if you’re that worried about Kira.”

“I’m just worried about you.” Homura said.

“Silly,” Matsubusa smiled, and kissed her.

Three weeks later, Matsubusa was singing a different tune. He had been walking to the Shinjuku subway station, when he had heard someone step behind him.

“Matsubusa-san.” The voice had said. “If you turn around, I’ll kill you.”

Matsubusa froze. What…

“I’m Kira.” The voice continued, and he gasped. “But to prove it, I’m going to kill someone in front of you. Do you see that man in the cafe sweeping the floor there? He’s going to die.”

Sure enough, seconds later, the man crumpled. Matsubusa felt his blood run cold. This was no fake. Kira…

It was definitely Kira!

“You must know that I can’t kill someone unless I have their name and face.” Wataru purred. “But that means I can kill everyone I see right now. Also, it would be painful for you to lose someone you love.”

Matsubusa blinked frantically. “You have… her?” He gasped.

“Yes.” Wataru agreed, causing Daigo to chortle quietly. She was bluffing, but the FBI agent didn’t have to know that. “So if you don’t obey my orders, I’m afraid I’ll have to kill her.”

There really was no right choice to make in this situation…

Matsubusa swallowed quietly. “What do I do?”

“Do you have your laptop with a file on it of all the FBI agents in Japan?”

“I… I have my laptop for work, but I have no such file.” Matsubusa said honestly.

“Then take this transceiver, and put the earpiece in your ear.” A gloved hand slipped something into his hand, and Matsubusa nodded.

Next, he was given an envelope and told to get on a train. Matsubusa did so, and listened as the voice coldly told him what to do. He wrote the names of his comrades slowly, in the envelope slots, surprised at receiving the file from his direct supervisor, and knowing that they would probably die, but at least Kira wouldn’t know their faces, right? And his family and Homura would be safe…

Homura… I’m sorry…

When he finished, he left the envelope on the train seat, and stepped off. He was a few blocks away when the clock struck four P.M. and he collapsed forwards. A heart attack…!

No!

Wataru smiled sweetly at Daigo as she slipped the envelope into her backpack. Poor Matsubusa.

He had written his comrade’s names on the Death Note, while looking at their pictures in his file…

He had killed them all. She hadn’t needed to do anything.

She smiled, left the train station and bought herself a cup of red tea and a slice of blueberry cheesecake at a nearby café, before walking home slowly, Daigo flapping his wings to keep up behind her.

He smiled.

She was sinking fast, this one. She would make a fine Shinigami…

After all, it was not individual actions that led to evil, more like a slow slide, and Wataru had just taken the next step down the slippery slope…

It would be fun to watch!

Homura received the news with shock, and cried herself to sleep. “Matsubusa…”

Kira had killed him… and she would find him, and bring him to justice…!

Death Note filler… or how Lance killed those FBI agents. I know, I still skimmed some, but it’s better than a two-sentence summary (I hope!)
