"Men, this is not good" The task force turned curiously to look at Soichiro Yagami who had made this strange declaration.
"What d'you mean Chief?" Matsuda asked finally.
"We have been drinking far too much coffee lately" He said boldly, ignoring the fact that he had drunk more than everyone else combined.
"But Chief….That's the only way that we can stay awake for the Kira case." Aizawa stammered.
"Well I read somewhere that it is now the season of Lent so we are all going to give up drinking coffee the whole time." Soichiro said, earning him the 'are you crazy' stares from his colleagues.
"But Chief, I don't recognize Christian traditions" Matsuda whined.
"If I see a single cup of coffee with any of you for the entire season I will have your head. Well not really but you know, I will fire you." The fateful words echoed, dooming the task force to exhaustion for weeks.
XXX 3 Days After the Decree XXX
Aizawa was sitting the couch staring at the computer monitor with blank eyes. It had been three days and he had not been allowed a single cup of coffee. Maybe staying over at Taskforce Headquarters hadn't been such a good idea. If he was at home he could at least have coffee in the mornings. He glanced over; Mogi seemed to be in the same sort of state. Almost afraid of what he would see, he looked over to where Matsuda was supposed to be working. His eyes almost bugged out of his head. The detective seemed to have gone insane. He was grinning manically and was spinning his chair around in circles. He knew that if Matsuda hadn't known he would receive glares, the younger man would have been screaming "wheeee" at the top of his lungs. The only ones who seemed able to deal with the lack of caffeine with any measure of success were Soichiro and Light. Well, and Ryuzaki of course, but he was L, of course he didn't need coffee. Besides, he ate so much sugar that he didn't really need coffee anyway. He hear a thunk come from the other side of the room. He quickly turned to see Light gasping on the floor clutching his heart.
"LIGHT'S BEEN ATTACKED BY KIRA!" Matsuda screamed.
"HE'LL KILL US ALL! REPENT SINNERS!"
Everyone was staring at Light. His body had stopped convulsing and he pushed himself up on his elbows.
"Oh shut up Matsuda." He growled.
"I wasn't having a heart attack"
"Light, then what happened to you?" Soichiro asked nervously.
Light turned his glare onto his father.
"The lack of coffee stimulant got to me" he said bitterly.
The coffee ban ended.
