Let me forget (open)

[Kagumi Michiyo]

“Unthinkable, Unexpected, but at the same time, undeniable.”

That was the only thing that had come out of Kagumi Michiyo’s mouth since she walked the grassy patches in the park. She had no reason to be out at the moment. Just to let herself go for a minute. Her head was cloudy, and was out of tune with the rest of her body except for her feet. The more thinks she thought at one time, the faster she walked, and the more she walked, the more her mind kept throwing ideas and images into her head. Megumi’s bright grey eyes turning to nothingness as blood ran down her dress. Her fathers glasses in ruins as the robbers struck him across the face then dragged him out of the room to his inevitable death. Kagumi shook her head then adjusted the golden moon rimmed glasses she threw on; she knew she couldn’t think too much, she would get dizzy.
The heavy metal blasting in her ears numbed the confusion that seemed to keep her on edge, it quickened the heartbeat (which would probably not help her at all) and focused her as it always did.

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm
Catastrophic, not again
I'm smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene
Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections,
I've got no time to lose, and I'm just caught up in all the cattle

Her baggy pants were slipping under her feet, tangling the sandals so that she might trip in the loose gravel below by the swings. Her mind made her think of love. How it made her so reckless, and how cruel it is to those around her. She thought about the Kira case, and how many lives were put into turmoil and could be in any danger. She was asking herself why she was so drawn to the case. She wandered back to those days at Whammy House after Megumi’s death. She hardly talked, and when she was in public she was always fiddling quietly with a rubicks cube or twirling a pen between her long fingers. She knew everyone’s names, but they never really knew hers, those in Whammy house only knew her as Kage. Kagumi had always straddled the fence about cases such as these, only because of those outcomes, and she wondered about her denial.

“No…”

She shook her head. She wasn’t ready to do anything at that age, she was far too into other things to worry about it. Mello and Near had been better for the job. Her heart gave a wrenching thump and Kagumi stopped in her tracks, clutching her chest and giving a slow inhale. She had walked too fast, she needed rest, but at the same time she had to keep walking and keep thinking or else it’ll all go away.

My end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road and my end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
THE END OF THE ROAD!

Kagumi scratched the wavy white wig that now hugged her head and she could feel her realization come to light. If she felt the way she did, why was she hiding. Did she fear a kira to find her? Or was her fear that someone at whammy house would recognize her. “ though I was a wallflower.” She said with a bitter chuckle. “ they didn’t give a d**n about me.” She felt confused again. What was she thinking?

Her jeans caught on her sandals and Kagumi turned on her heel towards the row of bushes down the way, landing on her side after realizing she just tripped. She got to her feet and touched her head. Her hair hadn’t fallen off, but she felt it better to sit. So she crawled tiredly into the bushes leaning against the wall and sliding down to her knees next to a cardboard box leaning on the bench. Her head on the wall with her eyes closed.

A blue charger pulled into the parking lot of the park. The young man inside turned off the engine and grabbed a donut, and put it in his mouth, holding onto it as he opened the glove box to the car with a key, inside he grabbed a slandered issue hand gun for police, but also in side were to custom guns, both with extended clips and a lazer. He has to boxes in the back seat, small boxes, the silencers for both guns. He closed the glove box, shoving his gun into his holster and grabbing his badge from the dash.

Sudou stepped out of the car and looked around, he was on a case right now. And on duty. Sudou was a detective, he worked for the Japanese police force. Right now he was only ordered to keep and eye on some one. Sudou placed his badge on the inside of his jacket. He ran his hand threw his long pink hair. Sudou was a kind of pretty boy though, but wasn't afraid to get his hands duty. HE took the donut out of his mouth and chewed the bit. He didn't like feeding into the mith that all cops loved donuts. Saying they were pigs.

Sudou stepped into the park, taking another bite. Sudou loved donuts as L would love sweets or Mello Chocolate or even Nears toys. Either way they were his favorite food. Sudou walked around, Holding a news paper in one hand and his donut in the other. He walked over to a tree and held the news paper up, eating his donut. He grabbed a small camera from his pocket and snapped a few shots of a man, the man was under suspension in a murder case, Sudou was ordered not to let him out of his site.

He what was left of his sugar treat and read the news on Kira. The new go of the world. They say, even if he is killing the bad, murder is murder. Sudou was a cop, but he did believe in Kira and what he did, Sudou worshipped Kira, as the new god of the clean world. "Scum like you shouldn't be walking the streets. Just wait for Kiras to pass judgment on you." He said, smiling, as he took another snap when the man sat down. Sudou read the news on the Anti Kira, groups like the police who didn't like Kira.

Sudou watched the man, as he got back up and walked on. Sudou is the kind of person that would bust you for anything, as long as he could. This way he was helping Kira, putting new faces up for him to kill. So far nothing he did seemed suspicious to Sudou. He sighed, leaning back. "When will you learn, live it up while you can. " Sudou said, turning away to his car, off to get another donut most likely.

Loud screams minutes later came from the park, as a man, the same man he was tracking, laid on patch of grass. Face down, his hand clenching his heart. Smiled, he ran over to the man, pushing past the crowed off people. He put two figures on the mans throat. He was dead before he hit the ground.

"Stupid fool"

[Kagumi Michiyo]

Kagumi had started to kind of relax in the bushes, pushing up her golden moon rimmed glasses as she thought and listened closely to the lyrics of the song. She was not one for heavy metal all of the time, but she felt it necessary today, she needed it today. Kagumi closed her eyes and sighed deeply before turning the volume on her MP3 up a notch.

Fray the strings
Throw the shapes
Hold your breath
Listen!

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!

She jolted to awareness at the sound of a scream outside. She rose from the bushes and looked around frantically, searching for the source of the blood curdling scream that made her skin crawl, she felt as if she had heard that scream before and she bit her lip trying to shove it off and gain the courage. She saw the man and ran towards him, her white hair flying in the wind and her finger on the bridge of her glasses. She kneeled next to him as another man felt his pulse with a smile on his face.

stupid fool

under the glasses and contacts, her hazel eyes flashed. He had died of a heart attack, she sighed in dissapointment, " Guess i really cant call 911." she said dismally, " what had he done?" she asked the man who checked his pulse. Though it sounded odd to ask, the person must have known what she meant.

[kouhei]

Sudou still had his smile slapped on his face. He looked at the others, all whom had a shocked look on his face. Sudou sighed, getting up and looking at the man, he put away his camera and threw his news paper in a near by garbage can. He walked back to the dead man and closed his eyes with his fingers. Now was the time to act like the cop he was. If he keep looking on at the man like the Kira worshiper he was, he would seem very odd.

Sudou reached for his badge but before he pulled it out he was approached by a girl, with white hair. He only saw her as another on looker. "This man is a victim of Kira." Sudou said, sighing, acting like a disgusted police officer. He stood up and flipped out his badge. " I'm a detective, for security reasons I will have an alias, my name is Nikami. I work for the Japanese police force as a under cover agent. Now all of you step back, this is now a crime seen." Sudou said, as the people backed up, a few didn't, but got closer. Sudou pushed them back and sighed once more.

Sudou for got about the girl that was behind him already. " If any one is near the crime seen when I get back your under arrest for tampering with evidence and disobeying a order from a police official" Sudou said, sounding like any other cop on the street. He walked back to his blue charger and grabbed his radio. He hurried back to the dead man and looked back down at him. He pressed the button on the side of the radio and spoke into it. " Code 58, DOA, This is officer Nikami at the down town park, Suspect has been killed of heart attack, suspect Kira." Sudou said, hearing a 10-4. Now more police were on the way.

Sudou sighed, getting yellow tape and tapped off the area. Sudou walked off as police showed up and started the useless investigation. Sudou grabbed the white haired girl by the arm lightly, lifting her up and walking off to the near by building. "Sorry about this, your a witness on this case, useless, Kira did this. If you want to know, the man you saw was under suspension of a murder, three days ago his face hit the news, you should know the rest. I was fallowing him to keep an eye on him, I knew this would happen. But I'll get chewed out by my boss if I don't do this." Sudou said.He smiled at her and held out his hand. "I'm Nikami, as you know that's a fake name, nice to meet you" He said, he didn't care about the case any more. Sudou didn't have any problem introducing himself to new people. He also loved to show off his looks. Sudou did have a habit though of rushing every thing. Such as he did.

[Kagumi Michiyo]

The minute the man became serious Kagumi rolled her eyes, what she saw wasnt just protocool, she guessed it was most likely an act. That smile she saw plastered on his face was not that of an inoccent bystander or a police cop at all, even when he began to talk about it being kira a red light went on in her head. She figured there was something slightly odd about this man, and not just the fact that his hair was dyed pink either.

Before she could react she was surprisingly pulled to her feet and dragged to a building nearby she only recognized in maps, " easy." she exclaimed in surprise before pushing up her glasses a second time. Knowing her theories, she felt a little uneasy being dragged away by a police officer, especially one that seemed so out of place in the once calm park. she looked regretably at the clump of bushes she was hiding in and felt herself trip on her flip-flops again and nearly fell to the ground but caught herself.

The minute he turned her around to explain everything to her, she inhaled again and felt his grip release. " Witness?!" she asked, " what do you mean witness?" If they thought she had anything to do with that murder there might have been a residing problem. she was about to ask a little more but he suddenly introduced himself, she figured a fake name by the police. She took his hand, " Terra Nakamura," she replied, she was surprised how fast the name came out, " pleasure I suppose." she adjusted her glasses again.

[kouhei]

" I'm sorry about all this Terra, I just need something to keep me out of actually doing work. Besides, they got it under control." Sudou said, shaking her hand slightly. He smiled still. Looking at how she adjusted her glasses, he wondered if they fitted right, but that was just his mind wandering around. Sudou let go of her hand and looked at the police. "You should know who Kira is already, some new god or something, just some one with the ability to kill with out being there is all." Sudou said, looking back to her, he looked at his watch and smirked. "Seeing as the Kira thing going on, I'll take that's a fake name. No one is giving out their real name any more. Not with Kira's killings" He added, which was true by the way.

Sudou turned around and looked around, he keep looking around like a man that just killed some one. But really he was just didn't want any other cops to see him not doing his job. He already got yelled at once for getting caught racing. "And yes, if your in or around the crime seen, your considered a witness. But as I said, I really don't care. It's a opened and closed case." Sudou said, sighing, he looked at his car and was getting tempted by his donuts.

Sudou walked over to his blue charger and waved Terra over to fallow. Sudou unlocked his car and leaned in side, he set his gun down on the seat and his badge as well. He grabbed the box of chocolate donuts and took one out. He looked at Terra and stuck the box in front of her, offering her one. After that Sudou took out a soda and opened it. "So why are you so...... Untrusting of me?" He asked, still smiling, he had felt he laid it on a bit to much, but being a follower of Kira wasn't a crime, but it isn't the best thing to be said.

Sudou sat down, moving his gun and putting it into the glove box. He looked up at Terra. " You can go any time you want so you know. My shift ends in about ten minutes." Sudou said, reachig into the back of the charger and pulling out a can of soda. He offered it to her, still smiling, trying to be innocent as can be. " So what's up with you. You look a bit troubled." He asked. Sudou had no problem asking about people and what's wrong with them. He really didn't care what he did. He looked at her hair and just stared at it for a while. Sudou would get very jealous of some one's hair or their looks or clothes if it was better or prettier then his own. He was obsessive of his looks. " God, I heat these issused clothes, I mean a suit? How gross... Just doesn't fit me at all....." Sudou said, pinching his clothes ad holding them out, looking at the, sighing deeply. He seemed to change the subject alot.

[Kagumi Michiyo]

For someone she had hardly met, things seemed to have been happening awfully fast for her. One minute she was near a building, the next minute she was following him to his blue charger and a box of doughnuts had been shoved into her face. She reluctantly took one and nibbled at it while listening to him talk, he seemed to have taken a particular liking to her hair and she looked at him, her brown eyes analyzing him " I'm untrusting of everyone, don't worry." She said reassuringly taking the soda, " I'm not a criminal, but I'm cynical enough to make sure I'm safe, since I needed a false name."

" And to add, I'm not troubled," she nodded," I'm just a little tired that's all."

[kouhei]

Sudou sighed, he knew he was talking to much and acting a bit hyper. " You know, your hair is very beautiful. Not trying to sound weird, but it is" He said, smiling brightly still. He was in one of is happy pretty boy moods. He looked at the inside of his charger, which he had left the glove box with all three guns in. He got up and opened the trunk, throwing his belt in their, which had a tazer gun and other police stuff, he keep a stun gun on him at all time.

" You know you can go at any time" He said. Reminding her she didn't have to stay around him. "I heard that sleep is great for that" Sudou said, laughing softly. He waved to a officer as he walked by. Sudou sighed, looking back to Terra closing the trunk. " I know, a girl walking around, and you just get dragged away by a police man, seems odd and scary... I think. But as I said before, I just need to get out of working. Besides, I'm not really interested in women." He said, drinking his soda and really devouring the rest of his donut.

Sudou walked back around and closed the door to his car. He looked at her trying to think of something to say, or something to do at least. He wanted to keep a conversation going instead of awkward silence. As long as she staid with him. He didn't mind, just didn't like not talking and looking at one another.

[Kagumi Michiyo]

At the sound of the compliment, kagumi went bright pink," thank you." She answered with a smile. Everytime he reminded her she was allowed to go she nodded, " I understand that, but I'm not very obwdient, and far too curious to leave unless you have something to do, I clearly doubt." She grinned, " and its not frightening really, just surprising, I'm not really a noticible person"

She nibbled on her doughnut and sipped on her soda, " I'm not a cop person really, grew up in a bad position with cops, no offense of course. A cop in hawaii turned criminal, raped and killed my mother, got away with it of xcourse,"

[kouhei]

"Well I'm sorry to hear about that" He said, sighing, he didn't like his ob all that much, but he loved catching the bad guys and having Kira pass judgment on them. Sudou sat down and turnd his music on and looked back up at Terra. He smirked. "I'm not to fond of my job either. My real passion is illegal street races. But don't tell any one" He said, laughing slightly. He looked aroun din a bored manner.

He glanced back to Terra and smirked once he saw her face go pink.He stood up and got in her face, literally only three inches away. He looked at her eyes then her glasses. " Ever think of using contacts? Still, pretty glasses" Sudou said, smiling brightly, almost like a women. He pulled away and looked at her hair again. He looked back to his car, trying to think of something to do.

"I know. But not all cops are bad. And I really don't have anything to do, I'm off duty now.... Unless I find a race, I got nothing...." Sudou said, sighing. "What do you do for kicks? And you are noticeable to me. Ha, your hairs to pretty not to be!" He said, smiling brightly, getting up and touching her hair, he didn't think much of boundaries any time so he didn't care.

[Kagumi Michiyo]

Kagumi had to figure this cop had to have some kind of thing going on if she realized he wasnt that fond of his job. L had a thing for sweets and whatever other avid things he liked to do, she realized that when she met him. She found it odd that out of all the cops, good or bad, very few of them really liked their job, or did it with such gusto it was frightening. It was all these feelings that rushed around in Kagumi's head that whammy house swore to make her get past to preen her into being a sucessor, they would say if she held these back, she would surpass. But Kagumi was stubborn, she wasnt going to become a lapdog, whether they wanted it or not.

It surprised Kagumi a bit when he came closer too her, examining her face. She found it a bit odd, but was very confident in her disguise. " I considered contacts, then realized they were too much work to put on and easier to loose." she exhaled, " Thank you though." she found it a little unusual how feminine this man was, he seemed to have enjoyed her company.

" Street....races?" she knew exactly what he was talking about, but now, the whammy house mind became more aware of her surrounding. Two parker cars 100 feet ahead, a couple of cop cars, she kept aware of all of these things without lifting a head or even looking worried, " Where i come from, i dont have much to do for kicks but read and listen to music. I hardly go out, and when i do i come back with eyebrows cocked. -_~ not many people give a damn but my parents, who have me hard at work 24/7"

[kouhei]

Sudou sighed, not so much in a sence of dissatisfaction but in pure bordom. He had nothing to do, once he was done with her hair, he sat back down, looking at the crime secen. " This Kira guy, or thing or what ever is a real bother. He has the police all in a knot and were running around not knowing what to do, these criminals are dropping like fly's, and I hear a few cops and American was killed by Kira, don't see why.." He said, in a unsatisfied tone. It was true he liked Kira and what he was doing but it was also true the Kira was making his Job a hole lot harder.

He looked up at the clear blue sky, watching birds fly by for a minute. He looked back to her, still smiling. He didn't much care for the other officers waving at him, he was off the clock now, he hadn't a reason to care. "All work no play. That's a waste. If I had to do nothing but this, I would go mad." He added. "If not for my car. But either way, I drive as I do my work, gracefully."

Sudou took another donut from the box and took a bite. He looked around and watched the police do their work. The park was now empty besides them, seeing as they blocked it off. Sudou looked on at a officer coming twords him. He was a shaggy looking man, with thick black ruffed hair and a strict expression, he was of course in uniform. "What do you think your doing sitting about like this, Sudou? The man said, sharply. Sudou turned from Her and looked at him.

"I'm off duty, and you are not my superior, back to work," Sudou replied, with an equally sharp tone.

The man flushed white, thinned lipped and hastily made his retreat back to his work. " I never found much use for reading... So Terra, if I may ask, is that your real name?" He asked, merely curios, he didn't much need a reply, he could either call it in or just lean over to his lap top, that he used in his work, in his car and check. He didn't think it was a false name, but so far every criminal and even some one he would pull over would half the time give a false name due to Kira.
