Matsuda's Diary

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or any of the characters! (Except for possibly a few random thrown-in people) I also don't own Shonen Jump magazine.

Final Words: Yay! Another fanfic! This one is more of a letter style, not like I'm used to. I might mess up a few dates, so… too bad. ^^'

Review Please! Reviews are to writers like video games are to Matt! You can't get enough!

Uh... Dear Diary?

Yeah. Ummm... Ryuzaki told me to start writing down the happenings of the investigation team. So, I've brilliantly decided to make it seem like a fake diary. I know, genius right? Now if anyone finds it, It will seem like just any old diary instead of a book of data.

So I guess I'll talk about what has happened recently. Ummm... Oh! A few days ago we got a new member on our investigation team. He's the chief's son, Light. He's like a super genius, so I guess L invited him to join because we could use some more people. He seems pretty nice. Except Aizawa says that something's not right about him... Well Aizawa's just a paranoid old geezer anyway.

Anyway, Light seems like a cool person. And he's closer to my age than anyone else here, well except Ryuzaki, but... he never hangs out with me outside of the task force meetings. Light and I are working together on a few things too. But Ryuzaki keeps watching him like a hawk. Does he really think he could be Kira?

Well, anyway, I gotta go. Ryuzaki needs me to run to the store. Ummm... talk to you later? ^^'

Dear Diary,

I'ts been a while and a LOT of stuff has happened. Well, not really, but... let's just say that a lot of stuff happened.

Well... Ryuzaki has been making me run to the store for him a lot recently. It seems that every day I'm running to the candy store or the bakery. How much sugar does that guy need anyway? He couldn't have chosen a healthier or cheaper food to eat? And I hated shopping even BEFORE I met Ryuzaki.

It seems that no matter how busy I am, or what I'm working on, I'm always the one who has to go to the store. Aizawa, Mogi, or even the chief could do a better job, but I seem to be the one designated as 'delivery boy'. I mean, I enjoy helping out, but now the cashiers at all the stores are giving me funny looks when I go there every day for a dozen donuts, three packages of strawberry shortcakes, 2 packages of cookies, and thousands of other sweets.

On a positive note, carrying bags of candy through the city as been a great workout every day. It seems that grocery shopping gets a little easier every day. I'll be so strong by the time this case is solved! I'll never have to go to the gym again.

Dear Diary,

Things have been going really well recently. I mean, I still have to go to the store, but the case is going along well.

The second Kira sent a diary to our headquarters the other day, and it had a lot of information. There are a few dates that we are going to keep an eye on. It seems that Kira and the second Kira are meeting up at the Giants game on the 30th, but Ryuzaki says that we have to watch all of the possible meeting places. One place is Aoyama on the 22nd, and Light and I get to investigate! It's going to be awesome! All we have to do is make sure nothing fishy goes on there. I really want to go to a movie or go to a bookstore to get the newest issue of Shonen Jump magazine.

Light seems excited too. He says he hasn't been to Aoyama in a long time, with all of his studying and whatnot. I found it suprising though, I know I had a social life while I was in college. I mean, I studied a lot, but I still hung out with friends. He's so smart, he probably didn't have to study much. Ryuzaki still suspects him though. I still don't get what's so incriminating about him! Why does everyone seem so sure that he has to be Kira? It could be anyone!
