Comments

[eraser_rain]

[Both unaware that his 'smooth' little act was noted as suspicious and that he'd 'cunningly' distracted him, Mikami returned that look. While Light's look was questioning, Mikami himself missed the nuance, merely patiently waiting.

Maybe God was deciding who to use. If he were a student, his opportunities to follow the news yet today may have been limited. That was what Mikami thought, quite pleasantly patient internally even if his external expression was stiff and ever at the ready for his orders.]

[andeatit]

[He had to trend carefully here. This was at odds with what was written in the book itself. If it was possible to kill using only a face, all of the criminals using aliases would have long since been dead. It was a flaw Light was aware of. So, either other Death Notes worked differently - and if so, he needed this man's Note - or this was a fish for information.]

Then, Kira only needs a face to kill?

[eraser_rain]

Is what it would mean now, yes.

[Now that they have met. For Mikami, unaware that his God is not only not in possession of the eyes but not aware of the sheer concept of them, it's a simple statement of loyalty. His eyes are indeed Kira's.

Surely, this will be put to a cunning use against L whose own data so far must suggest that Kira has a limitation of that nature. The Sakura TV Kira drew such a conclusion with far less data.

This Kira was able to persist for six years without such an advantage, much less without the advantage of a visitor from the future. The New World will come all the more swiftly now. That's worth a very faint smile.]

[andeatit]

Interesting. [The book itself said you needed a name and a face, he'd been over it countless times. There was no tricky wording, it was concrete. The face had to be in your mind, the name written out. How could he even kill without a name? Draw their face in the book?] I hadn't been aware Kira could kill with just a face. That would make him even more dangerous.

[He needed an explanation. What was Mikami getting at? It still sounded like he knew it shouldn't work that way. This Kira was 17 years old, still in high school, and hadn't even heard of Shinigami eyes. Ryuk had, but he hadn't yet shared that information, wouldn't share it until the fake L appeared on the television.]

[eraser_rain]

[Well, it wasn't as if he should have really expected gratitude. After all, his loyalty was a given... to the Kira of the future. The present Kira however, the one who might have actually died in the interim and who had perhaps given up the Note as early as tomorrow, was another matter.

No, if he were behaving like this, Mikami thought, it was most likely that he wasn't of a nature to cooperate. Kira played a defensive game, then. Trusting Mikami at all in the future must have meant things were quite dire, if this were the same Kira. He was still feigning not just innocent but ignorant--though to know anything more was to be Kira, without a doubt. They were inevitably one in the same.

Mikami's eyes went to Light's phone, a motion meant to urge him to get on with the means of proof he would accept.]

[andeatit]

[His eyes went back to the phone, the 'click click' of the buttons filling the new silence as he looked for an article, memorized the name, and clicked on the picture. It was a newer article, one this man wasn't as likely to have memorized. It was impossible to do it only by the picture.

It was then held out to him.]

[eraser_rain]

[His eyes only briefly looked to the phone screen before lowering to the page, beginning to write. He only paused before adding the final stroke, not bothering to glance up, fairly certain he would have been given any specifications beforehand. But God did seem thrown off of his game a bit by this entire situation. Understandable. Best to check that there were no specifications, no actions to put him through to make the other aware of it more quickly, Mikami supposed. By the time Mikami had obtained his Note, criminal deaths were reported fairly openly, and he also had certain connections if it were regarding criminals within Japan, particularly in the western half. A high school boy likely didn't have the same resources.]

A heart attack, right now, yes?

[andeatit]

[But even before that final stroke, he could see that the man had the name right. How? Had he really memorized every criminal Light may have chosen? Even as he noted Mikami knew the Note could kill by means other than a heart attack, it was secondary. This man, this Note owner was more powerful than him. That made him dangerous; that made his useful.]

As most are. [He began to click through the phone, looking for random articles, random pictures.] You can get the name just from seeing the picture? [That was what he was meant to believe, anyway.]

[eraser_rain]

Eliminate. [The final stroke was ticked off with a motion that was at once flippant and triumphant, pinching the notebook between his fingers and thumb to present to him the neatly written name at the start of the page, written as if to save room for the many names to come.]

I've made the trade for you. It's the reason that I have the fortuitous honor of recognizing you.

[Ultimately, he returned to formal speech once it seemed complicated explanations that excessive verbiage would only frustrate were no longer necessary. He might have misjudged how necessary some explanations still were, unfortunately.]

[andeatit]

[Trade. Mikami was speaking as if Light should know what he was talking about when in fact he hadn't the faintest clue. Admittedly, this was a man that also spoke of time travel but unlike that, there was proof. He wasn't completely convinced, but it was impressive enough to warrant another test, to be hopeful. If he really did have some kind of ability, he would be worth the time and effort to keep him around if he was willing to listen to all of Light's instructions.

Another picture was held out, this time taken from random website. There was no way this man had memorized the entire internet and the current face in question wasn't a criminal. If he could really see the name by looking at the face, this would prove it.

Trade. What had he traded? He claimed it was 'for' him, which meant whatever he'd had to give up was something he didn't think Light would be willing to. The price must have been high to make such a useful ability not worth the trade.]

His name? Along the same vein, what trade did you happen to make?

[eraser_rain]

[Mikami's eyes flickered to the image on the screen. Knowing the name upon seeing the face, if the face belonged to a living person, wasn't even a choice; that writings were there meant the mind processed them. Pulling the Note back into place on top of his briefcase still held in his arm, he stopped only when the second question came. He stopped, but he did not look up. He continued looking down at the first character of the person's name, putting matters together.

Of course if God were attempting to play ignorant, and he was to some degree, he would have to pretend not to know of the trade. However at the same time, he was telling Mikami to write names, openly aware of the Note as the means through which Kira worked, and that he would be an accomplice in the deaths he'd acknowledged would be the result of the first name written.

This boy was cautious, but he'd already thrown his lot in with Mikami--if only because Mikami himself was a potential threat on more fronts than the legal one, so long as he held a Note. Mikami Teru was a name he might have had interest in writing in his own Note.

His eyes lifted from the paper, considering the boy to whom he'd given a scrap. He wouldn't do it here. First of all, because he couldn't be positive of the spelling of Mikami's name; it would be like engaging in a stand off with only one bullet in his chamber, without knowing if it was the one at the barrel. Secondly, because he would want to dispose of him more conveniently than for his corpse to be found lying in an abandoned building not terribly far from his daily school route.

In order to put the other at ease--not for any type of self preservation, not to buy trust, but out of the simple and sincere desire to soothe, Mikami closed the Note and hooked the pen clip into the cover. He couldn't quite make himself hand it over, as comfortable as that may have made the boy. Even if his motivation was not to seek trust to protect his own life but to be of service, the fact remained that if he did not curry more faith from God before they departed, Mikami Teru--maybe both of them--would be dead not long after they parted. And as much as Mikami wanted to continue living, even more than that he wanted to be of service. He couldn't do that as a corpse.

Making a high school boy, God in training or not, feel a little better did not count as meaningfully being "of service."]

I see. The information you had passed on to me was the result of your own research and development.

[The second Note, the one soon to belong to Amane Misa years before it would come to him, didn't come with a convenient front page set of instructions in a common human language. Of course, there were some details one surely couldn't experiment to discover; one of which was the Shinigami eyes. The Shinigami was necessary for such, and short of making the offer, how could a human know? Was the human to ask? Ryuk had not been very forthcoming with information when questioned, though with the notations granted to him, a personal Revelations text, by God, his had been decidedly more about the man, about matters he was not entitled and did not need to know in order to serve him. Likely, the Eyes became known through a Shinigami. Least of all because the Sakura TV Kira did not seen to possess an experimental or scientifically inquisitive capacity and yet had obtained them without making contact with God for instruction.]

Then the Shinigami hasn't made the offer. Or has it not appeared to you yet at all?

[andeatit]

[He had been about to stop Mikami when he stopped on his own, the 'boy' relaxing back into place. He had intentionally chosen a man that wasn't a criminal, one that was random enough but whose name he could look up. That first character fit the name, which was enough proof; there was no need to kill an innocent man. No, not only the need, it wouldn't be acceptable.

But with this, Mikami Teru had become useful enough that it was time to drop the facade. Admittedly, he still found the older man to be less than competent because of his delusions, but he was useful enough to keep around, to guide. If Mikami listened, this was a very big step toward ridding the world of filth, toward achieving the goal he wanted so badly to achieve.

Light smiled. This was a good day. Ryuk had said he wasn't chosen and yet, things were falling into place. While some of it was Light's own genius, he could hardly take full credit for this.]

Only last night. [An actual admission.] But he hadn't mentioned a trade. You've managed to gain an ability to see names through someone's face? What did the Shinigami ask in return?

[eraser_rain]

[A confession, but a baffling one. Indeed, Kira was only a rumor and would remain such until tomorrow afternoon, but by this point Kira had still done amazing work. Kira was still well known enough to have quenched the hearts of those who thirsted for hope and justice. It wouldn't be long until Mikami himself would be going about his (now slightly more thanks to a Tokyo based thief bitter and gray days and come across a paper that would bring meaning to his existence.]

You've figured out and put the Note to use this quickly entirely on your own? [Still, his tone wasn't doubtful; it was unabashedly fawning, as if to say "As expected." While Light might have protested that in Mikami's mind he was still classified as "boy" rather than man, that his first and foremost classification as God was on firm foundations was certain to please him.] Then, I can expect even greater things from you, with my humble assistance? [With his hand over his heart as if swearing an oath to a flag, Mikami gave a bow. As formal as the gesture was, he couldn't help but look up at him, hopefully, eagerly, a hint of a smile threatening to break through propriety on a face that one might have gotten the impression was not quite used to such muscular orientations known as smiles.] After all, I've given up half of my remaining lifespan for this ability with which to serve you.

[andeatit]

[Light wasn't ready for a full confession yet. He wouldn't admit the subtle tests before the more bold moves, before filling what was now over five pages worth of names. While Mikami had proven himself to be a worthy ally, if a challenged one, there were some things he wanted to play up. After all, Light seemed to know less than his newly acquired partner and knowledge really could be power.

He seemed loyal, at least. While Light knew better than anyone that acting could go a long way, he could proceed with caution. Already he could tell that, if the act was true, this man was loyal but not completely selfless. He was willing to say what he'd given up for this chance, but he had answered a question in the process.

To be fair, Light himself did consider half of a life quite the price, especially for a man as young as Mikami seemed. Likely, half his remaining life was more than he'd already lived.

But for that effort, Mikami was graced with a smile, a hand on his shoulder which urged him up from the bow.]

It's a relief to find someone so like-minded, Mikami-san. I'll gladly accept the assistance of someone who understands the world as I do, someone willing to risk so much. But, as I'm sure you know and understand, things are very fragile right now. I'll need you to follow my instructions exactly. You'll need to act a bit more casual around me. When we're alone, it's fine, but in public, it's important to treat one another as our stations would dictate.

[eraser_rain]

[The hand on his shoulder caused his eyes to snap up before anything else; that smile that still looked like his face wasn't use to such an orientation grew wider, mouth opening, eyes going more round. Urged to stand straight from his bow, Mikami did, brimming, hands folded in front of him as he clutched the note and briefcase handle down below his waist, chest out like a proud little school boy receiving an attendance award.]

Yes! [That yes might have given rise to that feeling a person gets from an excited dog that may decide to jump up onto a stranger who's deigned to pet them.] It will be exactly as God wishes!

[andeatit]

[First, he has to look into the name, Mikami Teru. He has proof that is his name, but not only does he need to know the proper spelling but he needs to see if there's someone else with that name, someone else who shares that face. While the idea is still ridiculous, he had been willing to look into the Death Note before tossing it aside.]

Continue to lay low for now. I can hardly house you at my home; three others live there. I assume you don't currently have any contact information.

[eraser_rain]

At the moment I am homeless. If necessary, I'll purchase two phones and leave one for you where instructed. Alternately, as I have no other obligations, any place or time you would like to meet will not be inconvenient.

[That was a very positive spin on being unemployed, unemployable. If God couldn't provide for him as he'd initially selfishly assumed, he would need to work out something eventually. But that wasn't something he wanted to present as God's problem. What would be the point of coming here if it only meant becoming a burden? Not that he'd come intentionally, but just because things were out of his control, even out of his understanding, was no reason to allow his God to be bothered, nor to derail their shared mission in the slightest by it.]

[andeatit]

[Money was going to be a temporary problem, though not for the reason Mikami thought. He was under delusions that would make it hard to keep employment. Maybe once Light poked holes in his theory, then Mikami would see the truth. Until then, money would be in limited supply. His parents were well off and Light had money saved up, but it was hardly enough to keep Mikami up indefinitely.

That said, the older man was definitely worth keeping around. If all else failed, they could have him serve as a tutor or some sort; illness aside, he seemed intelligent enough. If they worked online and attached Light's name to it, it should work out well; his scores were well enough known around the school.

Ah, or maybe they could kill two birds with one stone. Despite his great grades, his parents had had no complaints with cram school. If he found an impressive enough man to tutor him, they might be willing to go even further. That would be a start.]

Get the phones, and leave one here tomorrow. As for temporary employment, how high were your entrance scores?

[eraser_rain]

Understood. [And with nothing else to add--that was the only proper response to an order, the conversation moved on. Despite being in private, his level of formality lowered, as if seeking out that ground; or maybe it was again a matter of wanting to give him the information without all the trappings of formality.] The 98th percentile, for the Bar Exam and Kyoto Entrance Exams. It's not worth mentioning to one who's made perfect scores.

[That wasn't knowledge of the future speaking so much as a simple expectation that he failed to realize the absurdity of. Teenaged boy or not, God must have been perfect; while he may have heard of a perfect score entrant--two, wasn't it?--several years ago, that particular information was never pertinent enough to really stick in his mind, not even with ToOh in the Tokyo region L would determine Kira to be from tomorrow if nothing changed. Even now talking of scores, the idea that it must have been him doesn't really connect. Admittedly, with all of the information taken in in his life time, it's too much, too remote, too far fetched, what with ToOh attracting applicants from far beyond the Tokyo area, beyond national borders, with the idea of Kira being a student never crossing his mind. It was little limits to his thoughts like that, a mortal but not-infinite and constant grasp of all possibilities and tentative connections, that left him at the mere 98th percentile.]

[andeatit]

[And he expects it to be true. His own practice exams were showing a lot of promise, with him scoring highest in every one he had taken. With the ease he had achieved that much, he would be disappointed if his test scores came out anything less than perfect. Because he considered it as much fact as Mikami did, instead of confidence, it was taken as research. So, Mikami had done his research. Admittedly, everyone talked openly about their shining student, so it might not have been terribly hard.

Still, what else does he know? Instead of asking, he hides the question with a chuckle.]

Those tests don't hold much bearing when it comes to Universities. [Meaning he had aced all other tests he had taken.] The tests for To-Oh don't happen until later. I'm still in my final year of high school, after all.

[Ah, he would also have to hurry. He didn't have a lot of time between classes and cram school. Already his mom was probably wondering what was holding him up.] With To-Oh being the best school, I'll try to convince my parents that I want to take additional steps by hiring a tutor. If that fails, I'll claim to employee you from my own savings, so we'll have an excuse to meet. For now, I have to go; cram classes start soon, and I haven't even been home yet.
