Checkmate. A game of life is played, what are the results? This game is a lot like life itself, sometimes we just don't realize.
Finally a quiet day at the office of the Kira Investigation. Matsuda, Mogi, Aizawa and L were sitting on what seemed to be the sidelines, watching father and son in a difficult mind-challenge. Light sat in front of his father, both staring at each other.
"Dad, are you sure you can handle this?" Light asked seriously.
"I'm the chief of the police, I've been ready for these things ever since I was born." His father answered cold.
"Okay, it's your decision." Light said sighing. L thightend his grip on his jeans as the others tensed up a little, ready for whatever may come. Soichiro Yagami stared intensly at his only son, Light. Light sighed again and looked at the other investigators.
"Light-kun, this may be the most important move of your life! Go for it." Matsuda cheered. Mogi thouched Matsuda to get his attention and started whispering.
"Do you know what this is about?" he asked as quiet as possible. Matsuda shook his head. L sharpened his gaze to concentrate better. Aizawa tilted his head, waiting for the move Light was about to make. Finally Light moved and replaced something on the table.
"Checkmate." He said with a grin.
"HEEEEEE?!" Aizawa, Mogi and Matsuda yelled.
"Have we been watching a chess game?!" Mogi said indignant.
"Yes, what else would it be?" Yagami answered. Aizawa didn't say anything and just walked away, cursing in himself. Matsuda and Mogi followed him with a sigh, leaving L in his chair to watch the two in front of him.
"Excellent tactics, Light-kun. Very clever." L said almost obsessed by the game.
"What are you saying, Ryuzaki. This isn't about tactics, it's about using your brain." Light said in response.
"Not at all. You don't understand the game and yet you play so well?" L said softly. Light hit the table with his fist as L stood up quietly and walked away.
"What do you mean by that?! Oi, Ryuzaki! Get back here!" Light shouted while running after L. Yagami sighed and facepalmed wondering if anything will ever go right.
