Children of Kira - Ch. 21

Zakuro whipped out her cell phone and dialed her boyfriend's number. It only had to ring once before he answered.
"Hey babe, listen can you come over to my house for a minute?"
She scowled at his reply, "because I asked you to, that's why. Get your scrawny butt over here now!"
She hung up the phone and glared at Mono who was staring at her, "what?"
He cocked his head to the side, 'why are you having him come over here?'
"I want to make sure he has a Death Note."
'How do you plan on doing that?'
"Well, that's simple. I may not be able to see if he's being followed by a Shinigami…but you can."
'Eh? What makes you think I'd tell you?'
She smirked and opened her jewelry box, "I'll make it worth your while."
A few minutes later Mono looked out the window and started laughing.
"What?"
'Ryuk you devious jerk…how dare you come to the human world without telling me.'
"I'm going to assume you're talking about a Shinigami…does that mean I'm right?"
'Huh? Oh…yeah, I guess so.'

Kiyoko looked through the window at Sato and Zakuro.
I wish I could read lips better, I need to know what they're saying, she thought.
She focused harder, oh! Sato just said Kira…but that doesn't mean anything, everyone's talking about Kira.
Kiyoko sighed. Suddenly, Sato stood and walked towards the window.
Kiyoko ducked down quickly, oh no! I hope he didn't see me.
Sato opened the window and walked back towards Zakuro and Kiyoko let out a sigh of relief.
That was way too close, I've gotta be more careful.
Just as that thought crossed her mind, two pairs of hands shot down and pulled her through the window.
She looked up at Sato and Zakuro and laughed nervously, how am I gonna get out of this one?
Sato glared at her as Zakuro closed the window and shut the curtains.
"What the heck do you think you're doing Matsuda?"
"Um…I was just…uh…I um…lost my dad's credit card."
Zakuro pushed Sato onto the couch and stood over Kiyoko, "and you thought it would be under my window?"
"Um…well I want to check everywhere."
Zakuro scowled, "you're lying, how much did you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything but if you want to know that then that means I'm right and you're hiding something."
Zakuro crouched down to her level, "that's right, and we'd like to keep it hidden…but…just because you worked so hard, I'm going to tell you anyway. Satoshi, go get my Death Note."
Kiyoko's eyes widened in fear.
Zakuro smirked, "don't worry, I won't kill you unless you give me a reason to."
Sato returned and gave Zakuro her Death Note.
"You know what this is right? A Shinigami's Death Note, the weapon used by Kira to kill criminals…but, of course, it doesn't just kill criminals," Zakuro turned on the TV which was showing a news program, "watch."
She wrote down the name of the on-site news reporter and 40 seconds later the woman died of a heart attack. Kiyoko stared wide-eyed at Zakuro.
"Now, you don't want your boyfriend to suffer the same fate do you? And I know that you don't want to. Stay quiet and the both of you just might survive."
Kiyoko nodded, too afraid to speak.
