Chapter 1- Know
"Y'know Light, there are some special people you need to keep a watch on," Ryuk said after four minutes of silence.
"Oh, really? And what do you suppose is special about these people?" Light asked, tossing Ryuk an apple.
"Well," Ryuk said, chomping on his apple, "what if I told you that a few select people can guess just about anything?"
"I suppose you mean predict anything. Why should this be of importance to me?"
"Because, Light, if you get them on your side, they can tell you what L will do. They know what's gonna happen."
Light paused to consider this. This could be important; it'll help me finally beat L. And they know exactly what he'll try. I'll be ready. Just you wait, L. Just you wait.
At the Mafia Hideout
So what would the new L want with these people? Mello was staring at the screen of one of Matt's laptops, at the faces of three girls and one boy. He'd recently figured out he wanted these people, the information itself gotten from Matt. He glanced over at the red-head, currently playing a game of DDR. He is a great spy. I'll get him a new game later.
"Can someone get a background research on these kids?!" Mello barked at the rest in the room. A couple of them logged on to Matt's other computers.
About twenty minutes later, four packets of paper arrived neatly in his lap. He was busily reviewing them, trying to figure out the connection between them. This is impossible. Besides, two of them are dead. Wait! They were murdered by… Kira? But if the new L is Kira, why would he kill people he actually needed? Huh, he truly is a murderer.
The two remaining people were Natsumi Ouhi, and Kurai Kyuuketsu. Natsumi was about twenty-seven and had short strawberry blond hair. She was grinning in her picture, turquoise eyes sparkling. Kurai had long black hair, gray eyes, and was fifteen. Mello knew what he had to do know. He only had two choices: Kill them, or take them as hostages.
He chose the latter of the two.
