Chapter 3
“Tsuki.”
The detective
said straight away, causing everyone to look towards him.
Soichiro nodded
after a while, whereas the others, especially Matsuda, looked confused.
Soichiro sighed.
“The kanji for
Light’s name is Tsuki.” The police captain explained.
Suddenly the
phone rang. L answered his mobile in his usually way, while the newly named
Tsuki jumped onto the sofa and curled up.
“Yes, Watari?”
The detective asked and was told to put the phone on speaker before the older
man continued.
“Mogi just got a
phone call from Yagami Sachiko, Light never came home last night after his
walk.” The team looked at each other, and Soichiro paled. “He’s gone missing.”
The detective
looked at the phone, the team, and then Tsuki, remembering Aizawa’s words. The
rest of the group followed his line of sight and saw the cat staring back at L
and the phone, Tsuki meowed pointedly. Matsuda was the first one to speak.
“No way!!!”
Everyone voiced
their disbelief of the situation in front of them, except L; who just watched
Tsuki, and Soichiro; who sat in thoughtful silence.
“It can’t be
possible!” Aizawa exclaimed.
“Ridiculous!!”
Matsuda cried.
“Maybe not.” L
interrupted. “At the current time, something else believed impossible is
occurring in the form of Kira. This could be related.” The detective looked at
his team’s faces, then at the cat, who stared back. He shifted his weight to
his left foot and lightly scratched his leg with the toes on his right.
“Yagami-san, what
are your thoughts on the matter? You have been rather quiet.” L asked, before
requesting Watari to join them and to bring cake.
“I’ll be right
there, and you have cake already Ryuuzaki.” L blinked, looking down at the
table to see the box from the bakery. He had forgotten about it. “I’ll bring
you a fork.” There was a silence on the line, but L knew that Watari had not
disconnected the call, he was still listening to hear what Yagami-san had to
say.
Soichiro leaned
forward, his elbows on his knees, and rested his head between his hands.
“It’s not related
to Kira.” And the silence was back. The police chief continued before anyone
else could speak. “It has happened before, if it’s what I think it is.” He
sighed. “It might be hard to believe, but it seems to be Light’s coping
mechanism to traumatic experiences.”
“What do you
mean, Yagami-san?” L was completely focused on the older man, so it surprised
him when Tsuki appeared in his line of sight. The cat had jumped onto
Yagami-san’s lap and was nuzzling the man’s arms, purring loudly. A hand came
and stroked the tabby’s head absentmindedly.
“As a baby, when
Light heard loud voices arguing, or was left alone for a long time, we used to
find an Alsatian puppy in his place, but after a short time, Light was back.”
He paused, and a grimace appeared on his face. “At the age of eight, Light was
kidnapped by someone with a grudge against me. When we finally tracked him
down, we found the guy and a raven. The guy was thought as crazy, he kept
muttering that ‘the boy had turned into a bird’ and other similar things. That
raven followed me home, and little four year old Sayu claimed it as a pet -
kept it in her room and everything. About a week or so later, when we were
still looking for Light, he appeared in Sayu’s room.” Soichiro leaned back in
the chair, and Tsuki settled in his lap. “It seems the length of time as
‘this’,” he indicated the cat, “depends on the trauma. He has to feel safe
again before he reverts back.”
Watari entered
the room, then, shutting off his phone, and busying himself with the cake that
was still in the box. He handed a slice to L, along with fork, before moving back again. The raven
took a bite of the strawberry cake and hummed happily.
“So, I’ll take
him in.” Matsuda offered cheerily. Tsuki lifted his head and stared at him,
before turning away in dismissal.
“Rejected.”
Aizawa chuckled. “You should take him home with you chief. I’m sure Light feels
safe there.”
“That’s a good
idea, Aizawa.” Matsuda praised.
“I don’t think
Tsuki agrees though.” Watari commented. The tabby cat was growling in their
direction.
“It’s not a good
idea. Sayu is a bit more enthusiastic with animals than she was back then. It
would be bad for his health.”
“What do you
mean, Chief?” Matsuda asked. Soichiro chuckled, while Tsuki hissed.
“It would
probably involve dressing him up, and bows.” Matsuda and Aizawa joined in with
his laughter. Tsuki dug his claws into Yagmi-san’s leg as he leaped off his
lap, and sauntered over to L, winding around his legs. The tabby settled
himself next to the detective and meowed. Soichiro chuckled lightly once more
as L looked down at the cat.
“Seems he staying
with you Ryuuzaki.” There was another meow. “We’ll leave you to it.” The Kira
team then filed out of the hotel suite leaving Watari and L with the
transformed Light.
~~~~~~~~~~
Light was awoken
from his sleep by the sound of shuffling on the steps. He opened his eyes and
meowed once he saw it was L, moving to the door.
When the raven
finally opened the door, Light went through and followed the remembered path to
the suite they used as headquarters, only once checking to see if L was
following, except for when he had to wait for the man to open door or work the
lift.
He stopped by the
door and waited for Ryuuzaki, who seemed to be in a daze. He meowed loudly and
got the result he wanted - the door opening. He quickly moved inside and seeing
his father, jumped on his lap and started purring.
Light didn’t
really listen to what they were saying but he did huff slightly when he
realised his father was useless, he couldn’t seem to tell it was him at all. A
sudden movement gained his attention and he stared at Matsuda, hissing when he
came closer. As soon as the hand was in reach, Light unsheathed his claws and slashed at the appendage, before
darting across the room and behind L, growling at the idiot.
In boredom, light
decided to watch L, and when he saw a thumb moving towards his mouth, his claws
went into a close-by bare foot. ‘That action always annoyed me.’ Light smirked
inwardly as the detective pouted.
Although Light
wasn’t really listening, he still heard Aizawa call him prissy. ‘How dare he!’
Light seethed, and huffed when his father agreed, deciding to ignore them all
from now on.
“Tsuki.” His ears
perked up as heard the raven detective’s monotone, he actually thought it was
quite clever, being named with his own name. The phone ringing surprised Light,
but he decided to get comfortable, find out what went on when he wasn’t there,
and see if L was intelligent enough to figure out what happened.
When Ryuuzaki put
the phone on speaker, he wasn’t expecting Watari to announce he had gone
missing; it was a big help, as long as the world famous detective figured out
the clues. Soon he could feel that dark gaze boring into him, followed by
others. He meowed, ‘not very helpful’ he thought, ‘but it’s all I can do.’ He
watched L as the team was in disbelief, although he did not hear his father
among them. L obviously figured that out too, as the next question was
addressed to the police chief, and when he was answered , Light was surprised
as everybody else. He hadn’t remembered this happening before.
Light moved to
his father’s lap once again, eager to hear more, purring subconsciously and
rubbing his head along the man’s arms.
He sneered
inwardly, he vaguely remembered being kidnapped, but not being rescued. Just
that he was in a room alone with that man and then he was home, playing in
Sayu’s room. He curled up, comfortable on his father’s lap and listened.
‘Hmm,’ he thought
thankfully. ‘This thing is only temporary. Where is somewhere safe?’ The first
thing that popped into his mind was here, at Headquarters, but there was only a
small possibility that L would agree.
When Light heard
Matsuda offer to look after him , he stared at the idiot, before turning away,
it didn’t even deserve a response, but then Aizawa suggested Light go home. ‘Is
the man stupider than Matsuda?’ Light thought incredulously, as he growled
lowly. Then his father mentioned Sayu and he hissed at the remembrance of when
she looked after her friend’s cat. The poor thing was shaking continuously by
the time it went home. ‘Girls and having to put bows on everything.’ He thought
grumpily. Light heard his father laugh at the thought of him in bows and dug
his claws into his leg. ‘Serves hi right.‘ Light moved over to L and around his
legs before sitting down. ’I’m staying here.’ He thought, but a few meows was
all that was released.
Light watched as
the rest of the team left, Ryuuzaki too
preoccupied with staring at him too notice.
“I’ll go and do
some preparations for ‘Tsuki’s’ stay.”
Watari then
exited, leaving the two alone, and staring each other down.
