Okay! I have the next chapter up, just like I promised! Now no one bitch at me about being lazy, I already know I'm being a lazy son-of-a-bitch, and I'm going to DO something about it for once. I expect there'll be more chapters up for all my stories soon. Anyway, here's Incorrectly Judged, chapter 4, focusing mostly on Matsuda and what he's been up to.
When Kira was first captured and unmasked, Matsuda was not the only one who was completely shocked. Of all the people he thought could be Kira, he never thought it would be Yagami Light and Amane Misa. Sure, Ryuuzaki always accused Light of being Kira, but none of the task force members had had a single doubt in Light.
He hadn't heard what had happened to Light and Misa, for the trial happened several months after Light and Misa had been captured. He also did not know where they had been kept during those months either. He had not stayed around to find out.
He had had enough of all the Japanese police force had to offer, and he had moved to England less than a week after the Kira case was closed. Thankfully, he had known English so he could understand what the locals were saying. He'd met someone nearly a week after moving, and he'd been surprised to discover that they had moved from Japan as well.
The man, who was a lawyer, hadn't had a place to stay as he'd moved rather quickly for whatever reason, and Matsuda had happily offered his own house. The man, Mikami Teru, easily slid into Matsuda's life, and Matsuda had no problem getting used to the man being around. Their schedules fit perfectly, though they rarely saw each other during the day.
For some reason, Matsuda had had the incredible urge to work close to prisoners, something that surprised him immensely. He had gotten a job as a security guard for the highest security prison in England, and was immensely glad he'd done it. It was so interesting seeing the convicts behind bars, talking to them, getting to know them and everything about them.
Just a week had changed his entire opinion of criminals, and left him thirsting for more understanding. More than half of the criminals had been left with no other option; several of them had been abused by the spouses they eventually killed for years. One of them had robbed a bank when he'd had no other place to turn to and he would have been forced out on the streets because no one would help him.
Some of them though, turned his stomach. Most of those people were not on his block, something that relieved him immensely. Usually, these involved the person having committed their crime because they wanted to, not because they needed to. The ones who really sickened him were the ones who had done horrible crimes, not small ones like robbing a bank.
There was one man on his block that no one knew anything about, not even his name. Everyone just called him Spider, because he reminded many people of a spider with his spindly limbs. He rarely ever spoke, choosing to stare at the wall when someone tried to talk to him, and if his gaze turned to you, his huge, staring eyes would pin you and leave you gasping for breath.
Every attempt Matsuda made at talking to the man ended with him getting frustrated, which was actually very hard for Matsuda to do, and stomping off. Though Matsuda could swear he saw the faintest trace of a smile on his face.
Life had been going well for Matsuda, and he easily adjusted to life in England over the months after he had moved there. He quickly got himself ready, getting dressed and making sure he had everything on him. It seemed today would be just another normal day, but he had no clue that the wheels of fate were already turning, and he would once again meet up with someone from the past he had never expected to see again.
