ReaderxVarious!DeathNote: New Recuit Ch.2

“W-where am I?” You open your tired eyelids and look around the unfamiliar dark landscape.

“I'm in a p-park?” You ask yourself and slowly stand up, taking in the alien surroundings bit by bit.”How...how did I get here?”You think but then it came to you....

You lost your memories.

You stand there, clueless. The only thing you can remember is your name and an urge to protect it. You move to the bench and sit on it hesitantly. You brush off the dirt on your black pants and strangely familiar (f/c) hoodie. You look to your side and see a black satchel with a pretty menacing silvery skull on it. You carefully take it and look at it curiously. Without thinking, you sling it over your shoulder and look up into the night sky. The full moon reflected its light down onto the wet sidewalk,  illuminating the darkened surroundings. You closed your eyes and then got lost in the silence.

“Hey, are you okay there?”

You open your eyes to see a middle aged man with slicked back black hair, brown rimmed glasses, and a...mustache? He was wearing a gray suit and was holding some sort of file protectively. But above him...you saw a name and date in red lettering. You blinked a few times, and it was gone. You look at the man and nod.

“Why are you here at 10 at night? It's pretty dangerous for a girl like you to be out here at this time.”

You look at him cautiously and shrug.” I-I woke up here and I have no idea why sir...”

You look down but flinch when he puts a hand on your shoulder.

“How about I take you back to the police station and you can think about that there alright?”

You look up and nod.” W-what is your name sir?”

“Yagami Soichiro.,” he responded and started to walk down the sidewalk.”Now come on, there's going to be another storm and you don't want to get wet do you?”

“N-no sir,” You get up from the bench and follow him to the police station silently.

“So, what is your name, miss?” He asked after a while walking down the sidewalk.

“(f/n)(l/n),” You reply but then mentally facepalm yourself. You just gave out your name, you shouldn't have done that!

“So (f/n)-” He was cut off when his phone rang. He answered it and starts to talk. You didn't want to listen to him so you looked around and sure enough, saw another person with red lettering above their head. You blinked a few times and thankfully the words went away. You sighed in relief and looked at Mr.Yagami, who just got off of the phone.

“(f/n) I just got a call and we need to hurry into the station. I have a conference call I need to attend to.”

You nod and follow him until you reach a building called the Japanese Police Force. He goes through the doors and motions to some chairs.

“You can sit here and I'll be back in a while.” He tells you and you nod in response. Mr. Yagami walks away leaving you in the lobby. You sigh and sit down but then get back up.

“I need to follow him....” You tell yourself and walk down the hallways like he did. After a while of searching, you slide down a wall and sigh in defeat. Looks like you won't find the room he went in at all.

“L, if we are going to work together on this investigation and you truly meant what you said about trusting the six of us, that you come and meet us in person.”

You immediately get up and lean against the door pressing your ear against it.

“That thought has already crossed my mind,” A computer sounded voice responded and you lean even closer to the door. Something told you that you had to be involved with this.....

“After all I did say that I trusted all of you.” You hear but then the door opens, making you stumble into the room. You fall to the ground and look up to see six bewildered faces, a shadowed figure, and a computer with text on the screen. You back up and start to panic.

“I-I'm sorry! I was j-just-”

“Who is this new person?” The computer echoes out and you freeze in terror. You are really in trouble this time.

“We don't know! This girl here just overheard the whole conversation!” The angry, tall, poofy haired dude responded and then Mr. Yagami looked at you with disbelief like the others.

“My name is (f/n)(l/n), and I'm not 'this girl'” You responded with slight irritation in your voice. You stand up and cross your arms, trying to calm down.

“L-?” The shadowed figure asked the computer and you look away from the angry, irritated, and confused glances.

“She may be able to help us, tell me (f/n) what do you know about the Kira case?”

You shake your head in dismay.”Whatever I did know, it's gone. I can't remember a thing.”

Silence.

“Yagami, fill her in. I'll see you at the location tonight.” With that, the computer went silent. So did the room...

“Okay, (f/n), come with me.” Mr. Yagami walked over to you and out the door. You followed him down the hallways silently.

“There has been many killings for criminals recently. Most of them were heart attacks but with recent information, he or she can kill in a variety of ways. We call this person Kira and we teamed up with L, the world's greatest detective, to bring him to justice.”

“Oh...”Was all that you could reply. You couldn't believe this. You woke up in a park, have no idea who you actually are,  picked up by a police officer, eavesdropped on a conversation, and now you are on a case about an unknown killer. This by far, would be your weirdest day even if you had your memories.

“Oh (f/n),” You snap out of your thoughts and look up to him.”If you are on this case then we'll have to talk it over outside.”

You nod and follow him out of the doors, where the other five people were waiting.

“Why is he seeking our help now? They are only six of us. He solved all these difficult cases by himself in the past so what makes this one so different? The way L's been conducting so far, odds are that he's gonna send a stand in or a proxy of some kind instead of coming to meet us himself.” The tall ,angry looking, black haired man said to the group.

“It's like we'll never know,” The other serious looking guy said. They looked at you and Yagami when you guys walked out of the building.

“Well can't you trust him? I mean he's trusted you so far by the looks of it.” You told the others and the eccentric, young black haired guy nodded his head in agreement.

“And besides, I don't think we can solve this case without his help.” he adds.

“I agree,” the very tall, spiky brown haired man also comments.

“From the beginning, he's been very upfront about the fact that he'll need the help of the police on this case. Perhaps we should think of it like....he's been waiting for this to happen.” Yagami ponders aloud and he looks very serious as he sounds like it.”Maybe he has all along...”

“Why would he do something like that?” The eccentric man asks.

“Well there were a large number on the task force that distrusted L before this investigation began. And once we got started we had detectives resigning left and right. Following that, classified information was leaked so I'm not surprised he didn't trust us.”

“In other words he was narrowing down the task force to only those investigators that he could trust. To do that, he'll have to weed out anyone that was totally commited.”

The angry looking man growled.” I'm leaving the task force. Don't worry I won't try to find you. I'm not interested in finding L!” He spat and walked back in the building, spite fueled his every step. After gazing to the man, you looked back to the silent group.

“So I guess whoever trusts L Is still here?” You asked and put your hands in your hoodie's pockets.

“Yeah, I'm willing to work on this investigation.” The silent, short haired shorter man agrees.

“Count me in,” The guy with the poofy hair says. Yagami nods his head in acknowledgment and the group walks in the building.

“Aren't you coming (f/n)?” Yagami asks and you shake your head.

“I'll like to stay outside for a bit. Fresh air ya know?” He nods and leaves you in the night air. You smile and lean against the sidewalk railing, looking up into the night sky.

“I wonder why I'm here,” You asked yourself after many minutes of silence.

“Hey, come on we need to go.” You look and see the group outside looking at you expectantly.

“Huh?”

“L needs to see us at 12 tonight and we to get into 2 groups. So you, Matsuda, and I are in a group and we'll go first. Understand?” Yagami asks and you nod.

“I may have lost my memories but I'm not dumb,” you mumbled and started to walk with him and the young man, known as Matsuda. You leave the others behind and they seem to converse with each other judging by the voices. Yagami walks up to a black car and enters the passenger seat while the other man enters the back without hesitation. You on the other hand, open the door and cautiously get in wary of the man next to you.

“Are we going to the hotel that L is staying at?” You asked while staring out of the window.

“Yes we are.” The cloaked man replies with an old voice. So he is old.....

“Oh...” Was all you could reply.

“Hey cheer up (f/n)! We get to see L! The man who is unknown to mostly everyone!” Matsuda replied and you glare at him which makes him shut up immediately.

“I am aware of that fact Mr. Matsuda, I'm not dumb,” You venomously retort and rest your head on your arm, letting that rest on the door.

The car ride has been silent except for him trying to make a conversation between the two of you.

“We're here.” The old man states as you guys pull up to a fancy looking hotel. You look at the place with awe and amazement that you don't even notice the others getting out of the car and walking into the front doors.

“Miss (f/n), aren't you going in?” You snap out of your daze and look at the cloaked man, who was looking behind you from the driver's seat.

“Oh yeah.....aren't you coming?” You ask and he nods.

“I need to park the car, then I'll come in and meet you there.”

“Okay, what was the room number again?”You open the door and get out quickly. You turn around and look at the man waiting for an answer.

“232, floor 5.Good luck” He replies and drives off slowly and onto another unknown road.

You sigh and walk into the elegant yellow lobby. You walk down the room and reach a hallway, thankfully with an elevator. You press the up button and wait for the elevator to come but it doesn't.

“What the-?” You then press the button repeatedly and still with no avail.

“You're still here?”

You turn around and see an old man in a trench coat. His white hair was slid back a bit and he has a mustache like Yagami's.

“Are you the guy who drove us here?” You realize and look at him with curiosity.

“I am. My name is Watari and it looks like your having some trouble with the elevator.” He chuckles and you just shake your head.

“Like I said I lost my memories and I completely forgot how to operate one.” You laugh nervously and watch him press the button and miraculously, it finally works. You both walk into the open elevator and you quickly push 5. You lay back on the wall and look at the doors expectantly, not paying much attention to Watari.

“I bet you are wondering why he chose me huh?”You say, completely surprising him.

“Um-”

“Same here.”You look at him and smile, “And it's kinda clear that you were thinking judging by your posture and thoughtful look on your face.” You sigh and wait for the doors to open.

“You are a very smart young lady. I'm impressed.” He tells you and you nod with a smile on your face.

“Thank you sir.”

The elevator comes to a stop and Watari walks out first, leaving you following him closely. You walk down the white wallpaper walls and spruce flooring hallways until you reach a door labeled 232 in gold numbering against the white door. He takes the brown doorknob in his hands and turns it, opening the door revealing the hotel room.

“Ryuzaki, I'm here with (f/n).”
