Chapter 2: Return of the Death Note

Aizawa sluggishly made his way back to the usually mundane Task Force headquaters. He had had a terribly rough night dealing with the case, but wouldn't be able to advance much until he got the report from his detectives today. He withdrew his key knowing the door would be locked. He had gotten the head detectives spot after Soichiro Yagami died in the Kira case. Surprisingly the door was unlocked and the windows open. He double checked his watch to make sure he wasn't late. It was 5:30 a.m., the time he usually arrived. The light blaring from the building was the only light on the entire street.

"Who else could be here," Aizawa muttered as he pushed on the door to open it. He was surprised to see Lights sister Sayu. She was no longer confined to the wheelchair she had been in after her kidnapping. She had finally gone back to school two years after those4 dramatic events. She sat staring hard at a few papers she had written, her long black hair draped down her shoulders. Her face was absolutely beautiful.

"Sayu, what are you doing here?" Aizawa said calmly.

She whirled around to face me with a stunned and scared look on her face, but then regained her composure and said, "sorry Mr. Aizawa I just wanted to talk to you."

"Hey Sayu, no need for the formalities, now what was you wanted to speak with me about?" Aizawa said in a somewhat professional manner.

"Okay Aizawa, I wanted to ask if when school lets out if I can get a job here."

Aizawa thought a moment then remembered she told her mom she wanted to be a doctor so he replied, "I thought you wanted to go into medicine?"

"Well I will, but I need something to do for the summer, and I actually already have a theory on this case," she replied hopeful.

"Well it seems good detective work runs in the family, you can have the job, but go ask your mom and come back, I also want you to give me that theory tonight at our meeting," he replied after a moments consideration.

"My mom said I can take off of school today to help with the investigation," she replied, and you could tell she was excited.

"Go double check for me please," Aizawa said kind of in a dismissing tone. Sayu caught the hint in his voice and pranced out of the room towards her bike.

"Man she got mature quick, though she is 23," Aizawa thought as she recalled their conversation. It had been two years since the events of the Kira case and she grew up quick after that. Within minutes Sayu was back.

She told Aizawa something then ran back off. She said, "I fear this case involves something we both know all to well." She then ran back out towards her house.

Aizawa immediately knew what she meant and he began to quiver with fear. After a small contemplation he finally came to the horrid conclusion that she could possibly be right.

Before he had time to get all his facts straight a loud knock came at the office door. Without even a response was Aizawa the door was flung open and Matsuda, like yesterday, came in panting for air.

"Both of. . . our detectives. . . that we sent out to Osaka. . .died in a house fire last night," he said trying to regain his breath the whole time.

Aizawa, with a incredibly stunned look on his face, tried to take this in at once.

"Was it just a coincidence that those two died or is there a connection between their deaths and the deaths of the Osaka Operation leaders," Aizawa thought to himself as Matsuda turned on the T.V. And flipped the channels till he got to the news.

The news headline was as follows: Two detectives died in house fire. "Pretty straight forward," Matsuda told Aizawa as he withdrew his cell from his pocket. He began to dial a number that appeared to be Mogi's number. Within a few seconds their was an answer from the other line.

"Mogi, this is Matsuda, contact Yamamoto and Ide, and get down to the office as quickly as possible," was all Matsuda said, then hung up and once again listened intently to the news casters.

"Two detectives along with both of their families died in a house fire last night at around 11:30 p.m. The start of the fire is unknown and the police were able to somehow recover two briefcases, one belonging to each detective," said the newscaster.

"So she may have been right," Aizawa muttered in a voice that seemed full of worry.

"Who?" Matsuda responded confusedly.

"We need those briefcases now, call up Yamamoto and tell him to get them from the police station," Aizawa commanded. Before Matsuda could place his phone in his hand a small slender figure appeared in the doorway. The woman appeared to be wearing casual clothing, jeans and a t-shirt that said hot stuff on it. It was Sayu.

"Did you guys see the news," she said pulling up a chair near the table I had been working at.

"Matsuda, I forgot to mention Sayu wants to help with the case, and she has a theory, she thinks we may be dealing with the death note again," Aizawa said in grim horror.

"It can't be," he gasped, but he finally put the pieces together.

Aizawa rushed over to his computer and pushed a button he hadn't touched ever, the button to contact L.

"L this is Aizawa, and we need the help of the SPK, we may have a new Kira case on our hands," Aizawa said in distress.
