I don't own DN. Smiles. I am not Tsugumi Ohba or Takeshi Obata.

It has recently been brought to my attention that the story is a bit choppy! I will make an effort to make it less choppy than it was, but the narrators are going to interject, OK? Notify me if it's too choppy again, okay?

Eee! I haven't updated in forever! Sorry... 'o'

Narrator #1

Okay, okay: Why aren't we following any particular pattern with the order of the narrators? You may wonder that because...well, I'm here, and the Second Narrator hasn't had 2 chapters yet. Well, I'll tell you: Naomi Misora's side of the story- Ow in advance -

Is going to be boring and not really related to the story for a while. I tolerate boring parts if it actually leads to the story, but-

Just get to the story, Narrator #1.

Oh...uh, sorry.

Light Yagami was enjoying his time that was Ryuk-free. He was fairly certain that Kira hadn't gotten the Shinigami eyes because some major criminals weren't dying. The news stations issued an apology saying that several people's names were mispelled on their channel, but we all know that that was for their safety. Seriously, NHN? People aren't stupid. *gets bonked in the head* Ow! Anyway...Light was sitting in his room, studying. He didn't go outside as often because of the all important exams that were coming up this spring. Christmas was over, time to study until New Years. His parents occasionally noticed that he rarely went outside anymore, nor did he go out with his friends. They summed it up to a seriousness that Sayu was clearly lacking (of course, she didn't have college entrance exams coming up!), but the studying was truly to push aside the guilt that he felt at giving up the notebook. He hasn't gotten the shinigami eyes...and now, he has to deal with Ryuk! Happy Holidays! Dad's been acting quite melancholy for a while...I wonder what's up with that?

A soft whine coming from the living room interrupted his thoughts. "But Mama! I don't want to bring Dad's clothes! I promised that I'd hand out with my friends today!" whined Sayu. Light opened the door and exited his room for the first time in what seemed to be several days.

"I'll do it, Mom." he said, entering the living room, where Sayu sat, watching T.V., and his mother stood, brandishing a bag of clothing and his father's lunch. His mother jumped internally at the idea of a chance to get his son to go outside. Mothers have mommy powers and instantly know when something's up, and his Mother had used her mommy powers to be able to detect that something wasn't quite right with Light.

"Okay, Light. But really...you need to stop doing your sister's chores for her!" his mother replied. Light smiled internally at being able to do something, even if it's this small, to assist with the Kira case.

After all, if Kira obtained the shinigami eyes, he'd be morally responsible. Just like he was for what happened on the bus to Spaceland and the subsequent death of the FBI agent on the bus.

Hello. I'm Narrator #3 (heyy, don't look at me like that! I didn't come up with it!). I'll be narrating what's going on with the Task Force, because that's fairly important. I'm also going to be summarizing it, too! Okay...so L, a private detective, has taken the case, right? And so since the Task Force has been whittled down to 5, Aizawa, Mogi, Matsuda, Ukita, and Chief Yagami, L has decided to meet them! So now with L in the picture, the Task Force pieces are going to be juuust as important as the parts with Light and Naomi! Yay! So let's go!

The Task Force watched in horror as they saw the footage of Raye Penber dying on the Yokohama line of the subway.

"But...how did...how did Kira know that he was following him, let alone get his name?!" exclaimed Ukita, angrily. The others in the Task Force, who were just as shocked as Ukita, all looked at L for an answer. He was biting his thumbnail. "And why was he even here?! He's in the FBI! This is not only the CIA's juristiction, but...who was he following and why did he die?!" Ukita exclaimed again, this time, his upset directed at L.

L looked even more closely at the screen instead of answering. He furrowed his almost non-existent eyebrows when he saw Raye Penber's final actions onscreen, as well as one other minor detail.

"Hmm...Raye Penber appears to have been straining to look at something. Or rather...someone..." L muttered, more to himself than to anyone else. "Hmm...also...one of the people that he was tailing is here..." This surprised every one of the Task Force members, especially Chief Yagami.

"W-who? Who is here?" exclaimed the Chief, attempting to figure out who this nutjob- Ow! -erm, enigma of a man was referring to. Yes, enigma.

L looked directly into the Chief's eyes. "Your son, Light Yagami, was seen entering the train at approximately the same time as Raye Penber." he replied, his eyes staring unblinkingly into the Chief's. This started to freak him out a little bit, so he stepped back a little bit to keep the detective's vacant- Ouch! Stop that! -erm, dark eyes from boring into his brain and figuring out his deepest secrets. Well, I wouldn't blame him. That L guy's eyes do kinda have that quality...but anyway...

Before anyone else could speak, L rewinded the tape to reveal Light Yagami, the Chief's son, stepping into the train at approximately the same time as Special Agent Penber. It then showdd Light getting pushed out of the "Women's Only" train car because he accidentally stepped into it. Oops. The video feed then showed Light entering the same train car as Raye Penber, before L paused the tape and removed it."Damn cassette tapes...why can't Japan switch to DVDs like everyone else?" I heard L mumble as he fumbled with the cassette tapes. He put the second one in, fast forwarded it, and after several minutes of dealing with the film, as it had unwound ane caused a jumbled image- "Damn subway cassettes!" -we were finally able to see what was on the tape.

"As you can see here, Raye Penber does not have the file that he had entered with." L explained, pointing at the TV. "In the other feed, he did."

"What could this mean?" Matsuda asked, before he got knocked upside the head by Aizawa.

"Moron! It means that he may have been coerced into carrying it onto the train!" Aizawa shouted, crossing his arms in frustration. "It also could mean that Kira was at the scene of his own crime!"

"And it is supported by the fact that as Raye Penber was dying-" L started, pointing at the screen as he spoke. "-he appeared to be straining to look inside of the train, as I have previously noted. However, the only reason that I mentioned Light Yagami is because he was the only person that Raye Penber was following who was on that train car."

The Chief jumped in furious surprise. "W-What do you mean?! Do you really think that my son could be Kira?!"

"That's exactly what I mean, Chief Yagami." L replied flatly. He set his thumb in his mouth and chewed his nail. "However...if he were attempting to follow into the same car as Raye Penber, then why would he accidentally walk into the car that he knew that he'd be ousted from? Of course, it could all be an act." he mused.

"But why? Why would he do such a thing?" Matsuda exclaimed. "After all, it's-"

Aizawa cut him off. "Okay, Ryuzaki. But...he seemed like such a nice boy..."

A/N: By the way, I'm going to change L's first name slightly because...what kind of parents name their child a letter? So yeah. Enjoy!
