The next morning, Wataru met Satoshi at the bus stop. Satoshi grinned at his friend as he hugged him tightly. Wataru flinched slightly at this, glad that she was wearing her iron corset and gently prying his hands off.

“I’m so happy!” Satoshi grinned.

“Are you?” Wataru asked. “Why?”

Bright red met gold, and Satoshi blinked in surprise for a second, before he recovered. “Because I can spend an entire day with you.” He winked. “I haven’t been to Marine World since junior high! It’ll be great!”

“Mm.” Wataru agreed, as they boarded the bus. The man who had been following him nodded to himself, making a note.

‘Meiji Wataru – son of Chief Meiji Sakaki, under no suspicion.’ Really, the boy was a hard worker; he only went to prep school and regular school on weekdays. He must be taking a day off. It was just a normal date.

Still… he would follow him today, and then call it a wrap and move on to his next suspect. He took a seat behind the two, a bit surprised – after all, he had not expected the boy to be homosexual. Still, perhaps it was just two friends…

The bus drove along without interruption, until a man boarded several stops later.

“I’m hijacking this bus!”

The bus driver stared, but as the man put a gun to his head, he was only too happy to call the Marine world main office and explain the situation…

“This is Seiji, the driver of Bus Number 382! This bus has been hijacked by a man with a gun!”

“So that’s how it is!” Aogiri shouted into the phone, grabbing it from the driver. “Send one woman in a car with all of your revenue from yesterday, to the second bus stop before Marine World! And if you try any funny tricks or contact the police, I’ll kill everyone on this bus!”

The passengers cried out in fear and terror. Satoshi clung to Wataru tightly, frightened.

He didn’t want to die!
Daigo frowned, wondering what she was plotting. He knew that she had been writing in the Death Note in the morning, but what was she thinking of?

Sometimes, she frightened him…

Wataru smiled at Satoshi. * Don’t worry. He won’t be able to kill any of us. * She thought. She took a notepad and her pen out and began to write, before tapping him on the arm quietly.

Satoshi blinked, before he glanced down at the note. It read in neat penmanship, ‘Satoshi-kun, I’m going to look for a chance to grab the arm holding the gun. He looks pretty weak. I can take him. Besides, my father is a police officer and he taught me what to do.’

The man’s eyes widened. “It’s too dangerous.” He said, leaning forwards over the seat to talk to her.

Wataru began to write again, but he stopped her. “It’s all right. He can’t hear us over the noise of the engine in the front.”

“Someone has to do something.” Wataru said, shoving the note and pen back into her pocket.

“Then let me do it.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Do you have proof that you’re not his accomplice?”

Her question threw Matsubusa for a loop, before he sighed and reached for his wallet. He flipped it open to show her his identification.

There was no way Meiji Wataru was Kira. If he was, then he could just kill Aogiri with a heart attack right now!

Wataru’s eyes widened fractionally. So he was Agent Matsubusa of the FBI? Then her suspicions were proven – S was using the FBI to investigate the Japanese police. She handed it back.

“Do you have a gun?”

“Yes.”

“Then I can rely on you to take care of the problem when the time comes.” She said softly.

The bus continued on for a few more minutes. Matsubusa frowned, especially when a piece of paper fell out of Wataru’s pocket.

Aogiri glared. “What is that?” He walked towards them, brandishing his gun. The passengers nearby screeched in fear.

“Shut up! I’ll shoot the next person that says anything! You over there! Don’t move!”

Wataru froze in the act of picking up the scrap. Matsubusa felt his blood run cold – if Aogiri read it, he would know what they were planning…! He tightened his grip on his gun and prepared to shoot if necessary.

Aogiri was dangerous! He had been on the news, a drug addict who had robbed a bank and killed three people a few days ago…!

“Were you writing notes to the other passengers?” Aogiri hissed, unfolding the paper. On it was written in neat script, the plans for the date. He laughed and threw it to the ground.

“Oh! So you were planning your date. How cute. Worthless!” He spun around with a crazy smile, as Wataru smirked inwardly. Yes…

Just one second would be all it took…

Aogiri’s eyes suddenly widened. “Bastard! What are you? When did you get back there?” He yelled. Matsubusa tensed, but it was Daigo who blinked, a slow smile making it’s way across his face, though it remained hidden behind his mask.

Oh? You can see me… how interesting…Daigo spoke.

“Ahhh! Don’t come any closer!” He gripped the handle of the gun tightly, before he began to fire.

Matsubusa’s eyes widened. * He’s hallucinating… he must be on something, or he’s going through withdrawal. Whatever the case is, it’s dangerous! * “Everyone, get down!” He shouted. The passengers obeyed quickly, even as Aogiri fired repeatedly.

Daigo waited as he dropped the emptied gun to the ground, six bullets clinking against the floor. Well now, you can’t kill me that easily. I’m a Shinigami, after all… and since you can see me, Wataru must have written that date information on paper from the Death Note. Clever girl…

“Stop the bus!” Aogiri shouted, nearly throttling the driver as Matsubusa got up and moved towards him, hoping to stop the madman. Seiji hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and Aogiri rushed out of the bus madly, unseeing until the car coming from the opposite lane hit him.

Wataru smiled as Matsubusa stared in disbelief at the man lying there dead. “I-Impossible…” The FBI agent said.

For a long moment, there was silence, before Seiji, shaking, dialed the police on his cell phone. Satoshi looked at Wataru anxiously, but relaxed when he saw how calm his friend was. Soon, the camera crews came and treated the death as an accident.

Matsubusa ran off before a word was said, not wanting to get involved – after all, he was not supposed to be here…

And Wataru and Satoshi continued to Marine World on a different bus, and enjoyed their date.

Poor Ray Penbar…

I cast Matsubusa (Maxie, Leader of Team Magma) as Ray Penbar, and for his girlfriend, Naomi, I’ll use Tabitha (Homura).
