Chapter 1- Matsuda!

"Are you sure this is a good idea, L?"

"Yes."

"But it's not going to be easy..."

"Nope."

"But I- Oh, forget it, whatever."

"Excellent."

Matsuda yawned. It was getting harder and harder to wake up in the morning. Just last night he fell asleep when they got some interesting leads to the Kira case. He just couldn't wake up. It all started two days earlier...

"Matsuda, I need assistance." L motioned with his hand for Matsuda to come nearer. "Y-yes L!" Finally a chance to prove himself! "Look here, Teru Mikami is a big Kira supporter, I believe recently he has helped and somehow evolved into Kira. What do you think of the matter?" Matsuda blinked, breathed in, and blinked again. "T-the what now?" L sighed. "It doesn't matter. Could you get me a cup of coffee? Can you handle that?" CUP OF COFFEE...

CUP OF COFFEE...

CUP OF COFFEE...

CUP OF COFFEE...

And that was it. Ever since, Matsuda had been playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village on his pink Nintendo. If he could master that game, he could surely handle helping out on the Kira case! Though he had been trying to complete that game for those whole two days.

Then he got a phone call.

He picked up his orange blackberry and smiled. "Hey Aizawa, buddy, I just got up-"

"JUST GOT UP? IT'S TWELVE THIRTY TOUTA!WE NEED YOU DOWN HERE!" Then he hung up.

"What do you need me for?" Matsuda frowned bitterly. "I'm useless, you probably just want coffee."

Nevertheless, he got up and ready. Not forgetting to suit up, if he didn't Light would not approve. He ran out his apartment building, toast dangling from his mouth, iPod in his ears, and hair a right mess.

In a random bush close by sat two people. "Ya think he can crack this case, Yagami?" The supposedly older one spoke, smirking like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland as he stared at the scruffy man on his way to work. "Not sure, but if I'm stuck like this for too long, I'll kill L."

"I still, I still, I love you, and I will see you again, YEAH!" Matsuda sang happily, forgetting his worries almost instantly and nearing the task force headquarters. Maybe there's something I can do to help today... He thought, sighing contently. But it's my fault! I need to start acting like a real detective!

Finally reaching HQ, Matsuda grinned. "Hey guys! Where's light?"

"That's why your here, Matsui." The great L twirled around in his spinney chair.

"Err... ok... But first, L, when is a door not a door!"

"When it's ajar, not focus Matsui! We are all here now, so I can finally tell you. I'm extremely sorry to say, there is a killer on the loose, aiming for the task force."

"Then...Light..."

"Yes, sadly Light was the first victim. He was killed last night around ten pm."

Matsuda froze. "N-No... Not Light... no..." He couldn't believe it. It seemed fishy, thought he didn't know why...

"First I thought we would-"

"NO, L," Matsuda shook his head. "You never even liked Light. I DID. I'm leading this case."

"This is serious Matsuda, If you can't find and catch our criminal, you'll most likely be fired."

"But I can do it!" If he could convince them, just think... he would be in charge... he could bring criminals to justice, and avenge Light!

L put his thumb to his lip and thought for a while. "Alright Matsuda, from this moment on your leading this case!"
