Chapter 10

Words: 1460

 It's a ten minute walk to Starbucks and Dan noticed PJ was a lot more fidgety and kept glancing at him. Eventually his curiosity got the better of him and he lagged behind Chris and Phil. 

"PJ, what's gotten into you? You keep staring at me!" Dan frowned. PJ just smirked.

"I'll tell you when these two are out of ear shot!" PJ replied mysteriously. Dan felt beyond confused, if not a little bit panicked. Ryuk started cackling over his shoulder and Dan turned to look at him. He had a mischievous glint in his eye. 

Making sure PJ, wasn't listening he got closer to Ryuk. "What's your problem?" Dan hissed.

"Oh Dan, if I told you it wouldn't be any fun now would it?" Ryuk chuckled harshly. Dan glared at him before rejoining the group, taking nervous glances at PJ then Ryuk. Something was happening and he was feeling uneasy. 

Soon enough they arrived and Dan breathed in then out, needing a coffee. He sat down because Phil and Chris offered to get the orders. "What do you want PJ?" Phil asked. 

"Hm, a hot chocolate please." He smiled. 

"And your usual, right Dan?" Phil asked, knowing him well. Dan blushed as he left with Chris. He coughed and turned to PJ who was looking at him intensely. Dan felt uncomfortable under his gaze. 

"PJ cut it out, your making me uncomfortable." Dan snapped. PJ smirked and looked down at his clasped hands.

"Anything you want ... Kira." PJ whispered the last part. Dan's body tensed and his eyes went wide, his mouth agape in horror. How had he figured it out. Ryuk was having a fit beside him, laughing at Dan's shocked face. 

"You humans are so interesting." He cackled. Dan's eyelid twitched in frustration and tried his best to reconstruct hs face to a position where he didn't look like someone had just killed a puppy. He breathed in and wiped his features of emotion.

"What are you on about PJ?" Dan asked, looking at him like he was crazy.

"Don't play dumb Dan." PJ warned, his eyes seemed to flash red. Slowly Dan's eyes got wider and wider.

"PJ couldn't be ..." Dan thought. He looked at Ryuk's red eyes and remembered when he had offered Dan the eye deal. Just in case PJ was being ridiculous, he crossed his arms over his chest and stared PJ down with a cold hard stare. The hard stare that represented Kira. PJ's eyes widened as he saw Dan's challenging gaze, as if daring him to prove it. PJ gulped and looked around, careful no one was looking before pulling out a piece of paper and touching Dan's hand with it. 

Dan saw PJ touch him with (what he assumed to be) a bit of Death Note paper. He then looked to PJ's side and stared at his Shinigami, he was the second Kira. "What's your name?" Dan asked PJ's shinigami.

"Rem." She replied, her voice rough like Ryuk's.

"Do you know Rem, Ryuk?" I asked quietly, in case someone was listening.

"I do recall meeting you once." Ryuk commented.

"It's nice to meet you again." Rem's monotone voice directed at Ryuk.

"Dan, can I see yours?" PJ asked. Dan hesitated and looked over at Phil and Chris to see they were about to make their way over. 

"We'll talk about this back at mine, okay?" Dan said sternly. PJ nodded, not used to this tough side of Dan. To be honest it had shocked him that Dan was Kira but he was also relieved because he believed Kira's version of the new world was the right way to go and since Dan was his friend they could work together.

However, Phil and Chris came back and their conversation was cut short. Dan felt nervous throughout the whole thing, wondering what PJ would do now that he knew he was Kira. He, however, also felt relieved because PJ was his friend and if he was the second Kira, he obviously shared his beliefs. He almost cheered when it was finally time to leave. He was desperate to sort out the situation before something went wrong.

"Hey Dan, are you okay?" Phil asked when he was spacing out.

"I'm fine." Dan sighed, rubbing his temples.

"You sure?" Phil asked cautiously. Dan had been acting quite weirdly through the time they'd been together and he was worried for many reasons. 

"Yes." Dan said firmly and Phil dropped it. However, he did sling an arms round Dan's shoulder, as if offering a little comfort. Dan tensed at first but then relaxed, sighing and leaning into Phil a little. No words were exchanged but a small smile graced Dan's lips. Phil always seemed to calm him down.

As soon as they were in the door PJ said he needed to go to the toilet and made a pointed look at Dan before disappearing down the hall. "I need to charge my phone, back in a minute." Dan announced, leaving to his room. He wasn't surprised when he saw PJ waiting on the bed.

"PJ." Dan stated.

"Dan ...  I can't believe you're ... Kira!" He whisper yelled. "You're the last person I'd suspect!" He exclaimed. Dan nodded, letting out a little sigh. He haden't been feeling too good since he found out about the second Kira since he could ruin Kira's image but it looked like it would be easier than he thought.

"Good!" Dan nodded then looked serious. "Now, one thing. Are you with me or against me?" Dan frowned.

"With you of course. I even made a deal for the shinigami eyes." PJ added. Dan felt his heart sink, why would PJ do that?

"PJ, why would you do something so stupid?" Dan asked, looking miserable for his friend.

"My life doesn't matter, you need to carry on Dan. I'll help you kill the criminals, that way if they suspect either one of us, the other can keep on killing in the other's place. Plus, won't you need someone to see L's name?" PJ asked.

Dan considered it, then smiled a little triumphantly. "Well ... I suppose it does work in our favour." He smirked. PJ also smirked, a triumphant glint in his eye. 

"Just think, the world rid of evil and you will be the god." PJ grinned. "With me by your side of course." Then his smile disappeared and he narrowed his eyes. "What about Phil?" 

"What about him?"

"Have you told him?" He quizzed.

"What? No! He doesn't agree with Kira anyway ..." Dan trailed off, looking sad. PJ noticed and he came to the realization that Dan may like Phil.

"Dan ... do you like Phil as more than a friend?" PJ questioned, narrowing his eyes once again. Dan bit his lip and nodded and PJ smiled softly.

"But he did say that if he ever found out I was Kira then he wouldn't mind." Dan mumbled, allowing a moment of weakness. PJ's eyes widened.

"WHAT? When did he say that?"

"Don't worry I only asked it hypothetically." Dan reassured. PJ looked hesitant.

"Alright." He sighed. "Can I see your shinigami now? Ryuk was it?" PJ asked.

"Sure, but he's an asshole." Dan smirked.

"Hey!" Ryuk growled.

Dan got a bit of death note paper out of his wallet and touched PJ's hand. PJ looked at Ryuk and jumped a little. "Jesus, you're a lot more intimidating than Rem." PJ commented, chuckling a bit.

"Hey!" Rem frowned, but it was true. Ryuk just cackled and smirked at Rem.

"We need ot go back in there or we'll look suspicious!" Dan pointed out.

"Okay, how about we meet up tomorrow and talk it over?" PJ offered.

"Sure, but for now just keep killing criminals that appear on TV instead of me. I'm already a suspect and I need to keep up my killings so can you do it?" Dan asked.

"Sure, lets go." PJ agreed.

"Those two have been gone a while. Do you think something's going on between them?" Chris frowned, looking slightly jealous. However, Phil paid no attention to that detail because he could already feel his own jealousy strike him hard. 

His silly crush on Dan was really controlling his life and he felt very uneasy. He wanted PJ a million miles away from Dan. He wasn't even thinking about the Kira case any more, he simply wanted Dan to himself. 

"Yeah they have been a while." Phil nearly spat and took a drink of water, gulping it down fast.
