Kira Kira

Disclaimer: If I owned Death Note, I've have so much fun toying with it. I'd release a second series that's humorous, and there will be entire forums talking about how it ruined the series, then I would show up and be all like, "So did the movies, but it doesn't mean you have to watch them…" Don't own Nintendo either. If I owned both, I'd give Nintendo to Matt, since he's the only character who would really know what to do with it. XD

A/N: That's the most reviews I've ever gotten on one chapter, unless you count this one oneshot I did for Naruto (which is clearly my best oneshot, judging by statistics)… As of the time I'm typing this, that's eight reviews! EIGHT! XD YOU PEOPLE ROCK! AND THOSE WHO ALERTED: YOU OWN! YOU ALL DO!! Yep, it's going to be so much fun! See ya at the end!

Alright, thus far, the general opinion to Kira's identity is…Matsuda! Poor Matsu, everyone thinking he's a mass-murderer and whatnot… XD Wouldn't it be so ironic if you were right…? You might be… Maybe there really is more to Matsuda-kun than the idiot everyone takes him for… -shifty eyes-


Light was entranced by the television screen, only glancing away to make sure the names he was jotting down didn't stray too far from the lines. The genius scribbled down Kira's victims' names, taking note of any special conditions for the deaths. When the report ended, he just set the black notebook down and shook his head. Not enough information was being released in the news for him to help carry justice along properly.

He stared at the computer. Light knew how to hack into his dad's NPA data files; he'd done it a hundred timed before out of pure boredom. He just wasn't sure if his cause was important enough yet. Besides, by the end of this whole ordeal, it would be pretty difficult to explain that he had started out doing some stuff of questionable legality…

Sacrifices had to be made, he told himself. He would play his part. Who knows, maybe someday everyone would consider him their hero.

Light sorted through several disturbing images of the victims of a serial rapist before he found anything of interest. The rapist had been put in prison a few days ago.

Light added another name as well as a few additional details about the death to the notebook.

The teen with light brown hair scanned a few more documents before deciding that he had bent the law enough for one day. He erased anything that could trace back to his own computer, however. Light wasn't really too keen to explain to his father about his "curiosity" as to the top secret case.


His father had invited Matsuda over for dinner, and the cheerful young man was chatting with Light's mother over the most random things… Really, Light was a little shocked that anyone had anything on their minds other than Kira. Maybe he was an exception. He was a special case, after all. It drove the teen crazy to do anything halfway.

However, Light was unaware how much the Kira case really was on Matsuda's thoughts. He tried to distract himself from it, despite the fact that he was actually rather enthusiastic about the whole thing. What could go wrong? He was put on the task force for the biggest case of the year. No, century! Not completely unlike Light, Matsuda's spirits soared at the possibility of the Kira situation making him a hero. You'd think someone should be depressed with the criminals dying, but the detective wasn't worried! If he died at the end, it wouldn't matter; because he vowed to die pleased about being able to lend a hand and give his life for a cause! He would prove to everyone once and for all how intelligent he was! Then people could stop disrespecting him!


Misa, through this whole stage of the Kira case, was doing absolutely nothing of particular interest to the general public, or so it seemed. Model by day, Kira "watcher" by night. She paid close attention to any news reports about Kira, watching for anything to give Kira's identity away.


Mello and Near lounged around Roger's office floor, waiting for him to speak.

Mello couldn't believe that he had to be right, but he knew he had to accept the obvious truth. They were going to be told of L's death. He knew that Kira would want to keep L alive to catch criminals for him to kill. Kira couldn't have killed him.

Roger finally spoke. "L wants the two of you to go to Japan and help him with the new Kira case."

The older man glanced down at Mello. The blonde boy's expression was priceless.

"He's not dead?"

"Of course not. Who told you that?"

Mello fell back onto the carpet. Making him worry over nothing like it was funny or something…

Near, on the other hand, just dumped his puzzle and started over. "Why is he putting his successors' lives in direct danger?" he wondered quietly.

"We were told that he needs all the help he can get."

"Well, who are we going with?" Mello raised an eyebrow. "You definitely won't let us o to Japan alone. We might make a break for America or something."

"Watari is flying over to pick you up."


"I never knew L had a jet!" Mello leaned back on one of the soft seats. "All this time and we could've been riding around in it!"

"He obviously didn't have one when he lived in England." Near fiddled with the little hinge on the back of his toy robot, clutching it until the color was forced out of his hands as the plane veered sharply.


Meanwhile, Matt was slouched over in the back of the jet. The batteries of his DS died, so he exchanged it for his old Gameboy Advance. The teen had to admit, the plane ride was pretty boring without Mello ranting about whatever came to his mind; not to mention how quiet it was without the clicking and snapping of the chocolate. He'd have to put up with the silence, though. L wanted him in Japan, but he had never said why. All Matt knew was that he would be kept in a secluded room with everything he needed for a few weeks. The gamer barely had any doubts that he would be kept under close watch.

The first thing he did when he got into the room was check for cameras. There were none visible, but he decided it would still be safe to assume that L wasn't planning to let a teenage boy trash the hotel room or whatever.


When they met up with L, there was a lot of Mello and Near pretending to be fully engrossed by the stack of virtually useless data. L searched for similarities between the criminals themselves, while Watari was baking a cake. Eventually, Mello grew bored of the lists of statistics. He left those to Near. The blonde boy hovered over L's shoulder until the older man had Watari bring him an extra laptop and something else to do related to the Kira case.

Therefore, Near was stuck with the pointless stuff. He almost wondered why L had bothered to even collect the data he was chewing through.

At least it wasn't entirely useless. Near knew that had to be true; L wasn't the three world's greatest detectives for nothing.

"Near, have you found anything?"

"Kira's first victim was this man."

Mello snorted. As if knowing that would do them much good…

"Excellent. Are you sure?"

"He was killed the night before the heart attacks started coming on full force. He was also the first prisoner to die of a heart attack with no clear cause in the past year."

L regarded the boy suspiciously.


A/N: Alright, review and let me know who you think it is now! Or you could tell me how to improve! Flames will be laughed at, posted on my profile even though no-one ever reads those things, and ridiculed some more. XD And beware of any false leads!! This chapter was mostly forming a basis for you to begin thinking about it all. And the fact that it did give a little bit away about a few characters' innocence, or maybe even one characters' guilt… XD Each chapter will probably get a little longer and longer….
