A/N: Woohoo~ My second Death Note story! R&R~! Enjoy!

This fic is 50% dedicated to DawnEyes, who (unknowingly or not) supported me a lot. It was really nice to know that someone likes my writing. heehee.

A collective sigh went throughout the office as the remaining workers (with visitors) continued working for 15 hours now.

Misa yawned, stretching her arms. "Light, I'm so tired~ Can't we go to our hotel room now?"

"No Misa, there's still work to be done. And I'm not tired yet." Light replied in his smooth, (fake) caring voice.

Misa pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "But it's boring here! Everyone's working except for me and Matsuda!"

At this remark, everyone turned to look at Touta Matsuda to find that he was, in fact, not being productive at the moment. As silence came over the room, Matsuda started to notice that there wasn't any tapping noises on the keyboard except for him. Thinking that they decided to get a break too, he looked up from his game of pinball.

Only they were all looking back at him. Save Misa, who was clinging on to Light like a lost puppy, begging desperately.

"Um...sorry?"

"..."

"Ryuzaki, I'm so sorry! It was all I could do to not fall asleep!" He grinned sheepishly to L.

L sighed. He supposed if Matsuda was getting that sleepy, the others must have been atleast slightly sleepy.

"I suppose we could play a game?" He paused to see the other's reactions. Excitement. Shock. Curiosity. Then he noticed a hand was dangling in the air in front of his face. Matsuda's. A collective groan ran throughout the room.

"Yes?" he asked, grabbing a candy cane, and chewed on it.

"I know a fun game! It's called Killer. It could be related to a detective game, except you rarely use the process of elimination, and use observation more." Matsuda grinned, waiting for someone to react.

Mello narrowed his eyes. "And how does this work?"

Matsuda smiled. "There are 7 positions in this game; the killer, the police, the judge, the joker, the doctor, the nurse, and the by-stander." he said, counting off from his fingers as he spoke.

Positions:

1. KILLER - kills people by winking at the person he would like to kill.

If he winks at the judge, the judge says 'I am the judge, I am dead.'

If he winks at the police, the police says 'I caught you.'

If he winks at anyone else, the person says 'I am dead.'

2. DOCTOR - heals dead people by winking at the dead person twice.

3. POLICE - looks for the Killer, and catches him.

4. JUDGE - Once the Killer is discovered, the judge gives the punishment. (even if the judge died.)

5. JOKER - Kills people the same way as the killer. However when the dead person says 'I'm dead.', the joker replies with 'Just joking.', and the person stays alive.

6. NURSE - Replacement of the doctor. If the doctor dies, the nurse will be the one to heal.

7. BY-STANDER/PERSON - Has no significance in this game. Dies, gets healed by doctor, dies, healed by doctor, and it goes on and on until the game is over.

How to end the game:

1. Police catches Killer, Killer gets punishment.

2. Killer kills Judge.

Matsuda frowned. "I think that's all you need to know." He said, checking to see if the others understood. Fortunately, they all did, seeing as they were geniuses.

"This would be an interesting game." Near said, twirling a part of his hair.

"Very interesting." L agreed, eyes flashing to Light. Killer vs. police. Kira vs. Task Force.

"So let's start! Oh wait- just a minute, I need to prepare the game." Matsuda said, gleefully skipping to a notepad, ripping out 7 pieces of paper. He wrote down a different position in each paper, and folded them evenly, making sure that no marks were left for others to identify the position. As he went back to the group, he explained what to do.

"Everyone sit in a position where you could see everyone's eyes, and then get one piece of paper from me. No changing papers!" he grinned, and got his own piece of paper. He opened it to see: POLICE.

Oh well. He shrugged. I wonder who the Killer is.

He watched as everyone moved to form an uneven circle and get a piece of paper, opening it to see their position. Misa was giggling, Light was frowning, L was smiling, Mello was smirking, Near was the same as usual, and Matt was just looking over to his paper lazily, smoking. ("Matt, please do not smoke in this room." L frowned.)

Matsuda smiled. They are so going to love this game! Now, I have to look for Kira- I mean, Killer.

"Okay, Killer, you kill by winking. Doctor, you heal by winking twice. Remember that~! Okay, 1, 2, 3, START!" he said to everyone.

Light was darting his eyes around the room, trying to catch someone's eyes. L, seeing this, decided to stare at Light to see if he would wink or not. Near, however, was merely curling his hair even more with his finger, waiting for someone to die. On the other hand, Matt continued to stare at Mello, wondering what he was thinking of. Misa looked like she was having the time of her life, giggling once in a while and trying to catch someone's attention to make them think she was Killer. Mello stared at Near the whole time, trying to drill holes to Near's white hair.

"Killer, kill someone already~!" Misa whined.

And with that, the first victim was found.

"I'm dead." Near proclaimed, staring at Mello.

Or not.

"Just kidding!" he laughed. "I tricked you, Near." he smirked in triumph.

A sigh was heard. "I suppose everyone now knows who Mello is?" L chewed on his thumb as a group of 'Yes', 'Yeah', and 'Definitely' filled the air.

Matt frowned. "Aw, I wanted to be a joker!"

"Too bad, man. I got it." Mello replied, smirked at Matt. When the the third successor didn't reply, Mello wiped the smirk off his face and went back to trying to catch someone's eyes.

They were all silent until...

"I'm dead." Near proclaimed once again, glaring at the Killer's direction, only to quickly avert his eyes. When he looked back at the killer, he saw that he had earned himself a cheerful, double wink from Amane Misa.

He stared back at Misa. "I'm alive."

Matsuda was by now frantically looking around for Killer. Near just 'died' and he could have sworn he saw Near glance at Misa, Light and Matt's direction. Misa's the doctor and Matt looked as if he was looking to his right. Light's staring at me, which means the killer has to be Ma- OHMYGOD. LIGHT JUST WINKED AT HIM.

Matsuda gaped at Light. "I-I'm- Oh wait, I CAUGHT YOU!" He shouted to Light, grinning. Light merely sighed.

L glanced at Light. "Up by 5%, Raito-kun."

"Ryuuzaki, it was just a game!"

"SO, WHO'S THE JUDGE?" Mello loudly asked, interrupting L and Light's bickering.

L raised his hand, smiling mischievously at Light.

"I'm the judge."

"...I see. You better make this easy, Ryuuzaki."

"It is quite easy, Raito-kun." L chewed on his thumb, looking up to Light.

Light sighed in relief. "Good, what is it then?"

"Confess! I KNOW YOU ARE KIRA."

"Ryuuzaki, I told you, I'm not Kira!"

As the debate between two of the greatest minds continued, everyone (except L and Light, of course.) sighed.

"Why don't we have lunch together? Misa-Misa's treat!" Misa squealed.

Well, they did end up having lunch together, with L and Light following a few minutes after the group of five arrived at the restaurant, but it ended up with L and Light doing the fight scene from episode 18 in the restaurant.

The restaurant manager was not pleased.

A/N: This might not be how you play 'Killer', so I'm sorry if you got confused. :D I just found out there were a lot of versions today... -.-"
