Kira: Hello...?

L: Hello, Kira-kun. I saw the new chat-room.

Kira: This is a privet one where I could talk with my friends. How did you get in?

L: I hacked.

Shoko has logged on

Shoko: Hi guys! I don't know what's going on but nice to meet you all!

Kira: Hi.

L: Hi.

Kira: So, how did YOU get here? When this is supposed to be a PRIVET chatroom?

Shoko: It is?

L: It is.

Shoko: Hm... That explained the password they were asking for.

Kira: How the hell did you know my password?!

Shoko: I entered '12345', and it got me in.

Kira:...!

L: A nice choicce, Kira-kun. Some people never thought to use that/

Kira: ...This is not a part of my plan.

L: Who are your friends, then?

Kira: As if I'd tell a random stranger I met in a chatroom.

L: Ah, but it's YOUR chatroom.

Kira: I'm not telling you who my friends are, or who I am. You could be a creepy stalker for all I know.

L: Or I could be a famous detective.

Shoko: Yeah. Right.

L: Kira-kun, Shoko-kun-

Shoko: I'm a girl.

L: ...Shoko-chan, I will find out both of your identities before you find out mine.

Shoko: Is that a challenge, L-san?

Kira: You're on.

Ryuuzaki: Near has gotten lost. Again.

Matt: Who are you talking to, L?

L: This is Kira and Shoko.

Kira: You know them?

L: Yes.

Kira: No fair, you have a headstart!

L: I don't know their real names though.

Shoko: How the heck...?

L: In real life they also uses the same names.

Kira: Great, that makes you easier to find.

Near: We should tell each other our locations, then we won't go through unnecessary airplane trips and false leads.

Mello: Near?! Where the hell did you go to?

Near: Third floor. That secret room where you never thought anyone knows.

Matt: I tried to tell him that, but he said-

Mello: Oh shush it.

Kira: Just a second...

Kira: My parents won't let me travel overseas.

L: Interesting... You're still a minor. That narrows things down a bit.

Kira: Damn!

Shoko: My companion allowed me to travel!

Ryuuzaki: I live along, so it's alright.

Mello: The rest of us knew each other, and I'm sure L'll let us go. That means...

Matt: We're going to Kira's place!

Kira: ...

Kira: Fine, but tell me your countries first!

L: England.

Mello: England.

Matt: England.

Near: England.

Ryuuzaki: United States

Shoko: United States

Kira: Japan.

L: Kira-kun has to be more specific~

Kira: Fine! It's Kanto!

L: Thank you for your information, I will look into it shortly.

L has logged off.

Kira:... By the way, if you live alone Ryuuzaki, then Matt didn't hack here for you?

Ryuuzaki: Correct.

Kira: Then how did you get here?

Ryuuzaki: Hehehe... I'll tell you if you can find me~!

Mello: Mat... I just realized that I never knew your real name!

Matt: Oh really? I remember you telling me yours that night where you drank too much alcohol. That means that I'm in the lead for this competition!

Mello: Oh. My. God.

Kira: Matt, any chance of telling me Mello's name?

Matt: I'll tell you only if you find me.

"Watari, start packing. We're heading to Japan."

"What about your case, L?"

"I will finish it in the next five minutes if you pack now." L said.

"May I ask what brought this on?"

L paused, glancing at a map he had brought to the desk, "I'm going there to meet a few people. Be sure to call Roger to let M, M and N on a separate plane."

"Yes."

"And ask Roger something for me," L's wide, unblinking eyes gazed at his flight ticket, "I need to know their real names."

"...Alright, as long as it isn't for something harmful for the children." Watari sighed. Whatever crazy scheme the detective had cooked up now is going to land them in a whole lot of trouble.

L's finger typed on the computer at a furious pace, "And while we're in Japan, please call me Al Lawliet." He was going to use the name Ryuuzaki, but didn't because there was already a Ryuuzaki in the chatroom.

How interesting...

Watari blanched, "L, are you really going to use your real name...?

L shrugged, "I don't know why, but I'm finding this competition very exciting. I am willing to stake everything on it, if only to secure my victory. Now, they expected Al, or L Lawliet - to be a fake name. So they would be looking for any name except for this one. If they found my real name in the file, then they would assume it's an alias and will overlook it."

Watari nodded, "I'll get packing then."

He left the room and L finally came to a halt. He looked at his clock.

Exactly five minutes, the case was closed.


Light was pacing in his room, nervously looking at the sky every once in a while. He knew they wouldn't be here so quickly, or wouldn't have found him, but it's still unnerving that he was going to be competing against six other very intelligent people. Genius, they may be.

But he had an advantage at least. Ryuuzaki knows L's name. Matt knows Mello's name. Near knows Mello and Matt's names. Nobody knew Light's name, so he was safe for now.

"Light! Dinner!" Sayu called from downstairs.

Light shut his computer off and trudged down. He ate slowly while his eyes continuously strayed towards the clock.

Soon...


Beyond Birthday shut the stolen computer with a click. He stepped out of the alleyway, and out into the streets of Los Angeles.

Interesting, so L and the other Wammy children are in a competition to learn each of their names?

Well, it was unfortunate that B had focused so much on L that he didn't remember the names of the other children. Or was it that they came in after he was gone...

Ah well, Beyond would know who they are if he can see their faces. But it's knowing which face is theirs is the problem.

B remembered that Mello had blond hair, Matt had red hair, and Near had white hair. White isn't a common color, so N would be out of the game pretty quickly. M and M sticks to each other like glue, and so would be easy to spot as well.

The problems are Shoko and Kira.

He didn't know any of them, despite the fact that he was the one who hacked into Kira's supposedly privet chatroom. At first he just wanted to taunt the man by breaking into the chatroom, but then he saw the conversation, with L of all people present...

"Kyahaha," he laughed, "It sounds like fun. I'll have to join them in their game."

A few hours later, B snuck into the luggage section of an airplane heading towards Japan, and left quietly and disappeared into the crowd of tourists.


Naomi Misora had a bad feeling.

Ever since she randomly broke into someone's chatroom and saw L again, she saw Beyond Birthday there too.

Of course, she pretended like she didn't know them. If she showed any recognition, then her cover as Shoko would be blown. The only one who knew Rue Ryuuzaki's real name is L and Naomi Misora after all.

She was going to meet that psycho again, and she's nervous as hell. First, it means that B had somehow escaped from prison and can now kill her if he wants to. Second, she really didn't want to lose this game, so she's going to meet him at some point. Along with the mysterious super detective L who assigned her to catch B in the first place.

Naomi only hoped that Mello, Near, Matt, and Kira are normal people. But judging on their conversation, Kira had the least problems.

She had asked Raye earlier if she could travel to Japan to do some sightseeing, and he readily agreed. He wanted to improve their relationship even further, and wanted to go to some tour sites in Japan. Naomi told him that she was only going to stay in Kanto.

"Why?" he had asked, "There's so many places to go to! Why are you staying in some city that's named after a region in Pokemon?"

She had shrugged and said, "I'm meeting someone."

But that was a bad move, because then Raye yelled that she's cheating on him.

Naomi retorted back that even if she's meeting another male (which she was, because Beyond Birthday is definitely not a girl), then they couldn't be doing anything over such a long distance.

"What are we supposed to do? Phone sex?!"

"So you're admitting you're having a relationship with another man?"

"No!"

"Not a male... You're a lesbian and you didn't tell me?"

"NO!" Naomi shouted again, "You know what Raye, just because you're so dense doesn't mean I am having a relationship with someone else! If you're going to be this unreasonable for much longer, then maybe I WOULD go find another boyfriend!"

She marched upstairs, grabbed her suitcase and bag, and slammed the door.


"Tell meeeee!"

"No Mello I'm not telling you my real name."

"Come on! You knew mine!"

"I don't really know if it's actually yours. You told me while you're DRUNK!"

Mello huffed, "Humph, am I the only one who doesn't know someone's name?"

"Nope, Kira doesn't know any of us," Near reminded them in boredom.

Mello's eyes glinted, "Near... You know Matt's name. Tell me."

"No."

"WHY NOT?!"

Near peered up at him, "Because it would make me lose my head-start in this competition. I know L would ask Roger for our files soon, so I took the liberty of deleting them."

"You DELETED our files?!" Mello looked at him, aghast, "T-that means we're no longer a part of this orphanage? We're kicked out?"

His eyes began to water.

"..." Matt turned away, until Mello suddenly broke out into a fit of laughter, tears leaking out of the corner of his eyes.

"BWAHAHAHAH!" he laughed, "Good for you, Near! I knew I should have tried this years ago! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

Matt blinked and faced Mello again, "I thought you were going to cry."

Mello wrinkled his nose, "What the hell? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Near collapsed his domino tower and began packing, "Kicked out or not, we'll be leaving in a few minutes. Roger doesn't know yet, so he still thinks he's paying for us."

"Yes! Free plane tickets!" Mello cheered.

And off they went.


"L?"

"Yes Watari?"

"Roger said he couldn't find the files."

"..."


I have started a new story without finishing the current one. Ah well, the chapters for the other story was completed anyways, so this wouldn't affect anything.

So... Review if you like! Which character do you want to win?
