Why doesn’t Red like him? Gorou scowls. He’s fairly independent, not stinking rich, but Red is a model and she’s not short for money. Red is perfect – she’s beautiful, and doesn’t do drugs. What more could he want?

Except she already has a boyfriend. Meiji Wataru.

Gorou did a bit of research and he scowls when he finds out that Wataru is a pretty talented young man. He’s majoring in criminal law at the best university, Sekiei. Plus he’s handsome.

Gorou scowls.

When he finds out the truth, it gets worse.

It’s not natural! Wataru’s a woman?

The woman crosses her arms. He can see the curves of her breasts, considering that she and Red are only covered by a sheet, but…

Red is a lesbian?

“You’re sick!” Gorou stabs a finger at Red. “Why are you with her?”

Red’s eyes flash with anger. “My sexual orientation is none of your concern!”

“And you! It’s unnatural!” Gorou turns to Wataru. “How dare you take advantage of her?”

Wataru’s lips are twitching, as though she’s finding something particularly funny about the whole situation. That’s not right!

“I love Wataru-san.” Red scowls. “And I don’t care if she’s a woman. I’ve always known! So get out of here, you prejudiced jerk!”

Gorou can’t believe it.

Golden eyes stare at him, and he feels suddenly uncomfortable, as though he’s being judged. Impossible!

“I’m going to call the newspapers.” He growls.

“You’ll do no such thing!” Red narrows her eyes. “My private life is not going to be splattered everywhere!”

She’s angry enough to kill him, and Mikuri does have her Death Note. It would be so easy…

But Wataru puts a hand on her shoulder.

Red meets her lover’s eyes.

“I’ll take care of it.” Wataru’s eyes look almost scarlet in the half-light. She slides out of bed, and smirks.

Gorou wonders what she’s going to do, but she picks up her wallet and an ink pen, and begins to write.

Suddenly, he can’t move.

He stares at her, not really seeing her, and then, leaves the room, with no thought as to calling the news.

She did promise, after all.

Two days later, Gorou dies in a car crash, and Red smiles a secret smile to herself.

The power of the Death Note cannot be thwarted. And her relationship is safe.

Gorou is actually the Japanese name of one of Brock’s little brothers, if anyone cares. And Lance still cross-dresses as a boy…
