Disclaimer: I wish this wasn't true, but... I don't own Death Note.

Finding Them

"Hey, Giyvum," I asked in English, "Even if I do find them, what am I going to do to prove to them I know L?"

"I am not sure how, but when the time comes, I know you will know what to do."

"How are you so sure they won't toss me in a nut house?"

"Simple. I know that because I trust you. Even after all these years you still have yet to use the death note. Your soul still is uncorrupted." He answered smiling.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence; I will need it if I ever do find someone on the Task Force."

People on the bus were staring at me as I conversed with someone who they couldn't see.

"Please go away," I said to them in Japanese, "Your weirdness is creeping my imaginary friend out."

Everyone looked away from me and started muttering about me as I got off of the bus. I walked a few block before turning and seeing my lucky break.

"Watari..." I mumbled.

The old man was looking through the window of a cake shop. Well, there goes all doubt of him not being with L. He walked into the store and I came in the door after him. I waited long enough that he didn't even notice me. Quickly moving to the other side of the store, I browsed through the cakes. What would be a good one to bring with me? Sponge cake... carrot cake... birthday cake... angel cake... BINGO! I silently the cake and walked to the front of the store. The clerk there rang it up.

"So, What brings you to the city?" He asked.

"It is a friend of mine. Tomorrow is her birthday and I want to surprise her." I easily lied.

"Well, tell your friend happy birthday for me." He said kindly.

I walked out the door and sat down on a bench about twenty feet away. Moments later Watari walked out. Silently I followed him. Finally, after a few blocks He turned and walked into a hotel.

"Hold the elevator!" I called to him. He stopped it and allowed me in. I looked at the buttons and quickly pressed the button for the floor before the one he got off on.

1...2...3...4 BING! I got off and ran up the stairs to the next floor. I was there just in time to see him get off the elevator.

Sneaking after him I reached the room he was at with L just as he was closing the door. I lunged forward and knocked the door open and ran into the room. The second I was in the room I prepared for attack.

Nothing happened.

They all looked at me as if I was crazy, then one of them, the name above him said Touta Matsuda, yelled.

"It's Kira! Stop them!"

"Hmm, let's check that answer. And our survey says…" I made a buzzer noise "Sorry, that answer is incorrect. You still have two more strikes before the other family has a chance."

"That is not Kira." L spoke in a monotone voice, "If it was Kira we would be either dead, or being asked our names. This girl is just a person, nothing more nothing less"

"Aww, L, that hurts my feelings. Just because I'm not in line to be your successor doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to remember me. Besides, comments like that are the reason I left that place."

"What place?" Matsuda asked.

"The same place L," I gestured to L, "learned to be a great detective."

The cops' eyes bulged and L mumbled "That is not possible, I know everyone at Whammy's house, and your face doesn't ring a bell."

"Three reasons for that. One, I was seen outside less often than Near; two, I left 8 years ago; three, nobody ever notices me. I mean how else could I have gotten past Watari, who is trained in being able to tell when he is being followed?"

"That is true, I have never seen our system breached so easily." he spoke as if deep in thought.

"Well, I hope your played your cards right, otherwise we are going down to county." Giyvum spoke.

"Look," I spoke feverishly, "I know you may not trust me, but I only want to help. I've been following the Kira case for weeks now, and I really think I could help."

"How do we know we can trust you?" A man named Hirokazu Ukita asked.

"Because if I was Kira, you would all be dead. Because I'm-" Shit, I just back myself into a corner there. I can't say I own a death note, shinigami eyes or anything else. They'd lock me up. They'd....shinigami eyes. "Psychic!" I yelled.

They all just stared at me. Fuck, now they are definitely going to throw me in an asylum.

"Well, I can't tell your fortune, but I can see your name and when you are going to die. It does come in handy sometimes. But I can't see my lifespan, and I can't see the lifespan of certain other people… like B… hmmm… what the hell ever happened to B" I stopped letting my eyes wander around the room and looked back at the task force, who were still staring at me incredulously. "Can I help you?

"You expect me to believe that you are psychic?" L stated.

"Yes, and I can prove it too. None of you have said your names, but I can tell all of you what they are." I pointed in at them as I reeled off their names. "Kanzo Mogi, Shuichi Aizawa, Soichiro Yagami, Hirokazu Ukita, Touta Matsuda..." I pointed towards L and hesitated for a moment, "…L"

"You could simply know the names of the people on the task force it still doesn't prove that you are psychic. As if I would ever believe in such a thing."

I walked over near L and whispered into his ear "You should always keep your mind open to every possibility, L Lawliet." I pulled away from his ear "So, can I join you

"I think you will make a fine addition to our team, miss-"

"Ayame. Akako Ayame."

So, tell me what you think. Please no flames. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all. Oh, and Her name means 'Red Iris', I was bored and this seemed like a fitting name for her.
