CHAPTER 4

(SAYU'S P.O.V)

I wondered to myself what I was going to cook for lunch, since mom wasn't going to be home. I wished that Near would come over, since he was an excellent cook. Even though I taught him how to cook, being the genius that he is, he had surpassed me.

Was there anything he wasn't good at?. I stepped into the street, hugging my brown paper bag to my side.

THAT'S WHEN I SAW HIM…

On the other side of the road stood Light, staring back at me. He was wearing a baby blue T-shirt, and blue jeans. He never wore T-shirt and jeans!. I glanced down at my feet, to see my paper bag staring back at me.

I had dropped my paper bag, and didn't even notice it. Just when I was about to pick up the groceries, I jumped at the sound of a horn. I turned to see a massive truck heading my way.

OH GOD, I WAS GOING TO DIE HERE…

I wasn't sure what happened next. I felt someone's hands shove me from behind. They shoved me with so much force, I leaped forward, falling head first onto the side walk. "What the hells gotten into you?!" A familiar voice shouted at me.

I turned to see Mello staring at me in disbelief. "Sorry" I said lamely. "Sayu you could have been killed!, if I hadn't seen you standing in the middle of the road, God knows what would have happened!. What were you thinking?!"

"Do you have a car?" I asked suddenly. "WHAT?!" Mello said shocked at my sudden question. "I need you to take me to Near… please" I pleaded. He stared at me skeptically for a moment, then nodded. "Fine, but I don't have a car. I can carry you on my bike."

I followed him, staring at my squashed groceries that were scattered on the road. I wondered briefly if my life would be smashed, if Light had reentered it.

(MELLO'S P.O.V)

I opened the door for Sayu, that lead to the main headquarters. Near's expression switched from blank to surprise at seeing Sayu. "Near, your girlfriend is crazy" I declared to him throwing my bike keys on the table.

"What's going on?" L inquired noticing Sayu sat down trembling now. Near who still hadn't said anything, silently got up and walked over to Sayu. He knelt in front of her and caressed her cheek. "What's wrong Sayu?" he asked gently.

She broke down and cried, while she explained. "Why is he back Near?" she asked sniffing and wiping her eyes. "Why is he torturing us?!, First it was Misa. Am I next?, is this about revenge?!. Is this Kira all over again?!

He didn't even look like himself!. He was dressed in a jeans and T-shirt!, he never does that!. It was if he was completely a different person!"

Suddenly the air felt tight in the room. No one said anything. Instead L, Near, and I choose to be silent. Even though nothing was said, Sayu's tearful outburst had affected us. Jovanni silently came over, and lifted Sayu bridal style and turned to Near

"I'll take her to one of the guestrooms upstairs" "Thank you Jovanni" Near said his white bangs covered his eyes. As Jovanni carried Sayu out of the room, we could still hear her wailing. Near stood up silently and turned to L.

"When I get my hands on the disgusting maggot called Light Yagami….I'm going to kill him" Near's blank expression was replaced with a murderous look. "Join the club" L simply stated.

"I have a theory" I spoke up suddenly.

"What if this killer isn't Light Yagami at all?" I said staring at one of the computer screens. Near and L's heads snapped towards me with surprise. "Maybe where looking at this case from the wrong angle" I continued.

"Misa and Sayu said they've seen Light, and that he doesn't even look the same in some ways. For example the way he was dressed. Which indicates that the killer resembles Light, but is not Light Yagami. Secondly,when you think about it, if Light had returned, Kira would have returned since they are the same person.

However, there's no sign of Kira, just a killer who is obsessed with Misa. Therefore there's a possibility that our killer is a copycat no… probably a look alike." I explained resting my right hand underneath my chin.

"You may be onto something Mello" Near said to me sitting next to L. "I admit your theory is worth looking into, but if that's true, it doesn't explain why he's using Light's name." "So if our killer have some connection to Light, and we uncover this connection…"

I thought excitedly, "We find our killer" Near finished twirling his hair.

(KILLER'S P.O.V)

I drove past Sachiko Yagami's home for the second time. I was disguised in shades and a fake beard, so no one in the neighborhood would recognize me. No one seemed to be home, however when I drove past the house a second time, I saw Sachiko speaking with a neighbor at her gate.

Soon I would finally be home. Sayu… I couldn't wait to see her. I regretted letting her see me earlier today. I almost got her killed. That was my intention. The last thing I wanted was to lose someone close to me.

The only person I wanted dead was Misa Amane, and since I couldn't have her, I decided killing women who resembled her, got me one step closer to my goal. I parked the car out of sight, and pushed my seat back a bit.

Placing my hands behind my head. I was bored. I needed to make this game more interesting… As a smile crept up my lips, a plan formulated in my mind.

THIS WAS GOING TO BE FUN…

(HALLE'S P.O.V)

I sat on the couch watching a movie with my boyfriend Mello. He lay on the other end of the couch snoring. These days he was exhausted, due to working on the case long hours. As I ate my ice cream and watched him sleep, I felt contented having him over even though all he was doing was sleeping.

I use to feel lonely even when I was with others. On the other hand, when I was with Mello I didn't. I admit he can be an asshole sometimes, but he pushed me to my limits in a good way. Strange enough, it helped me deal with this insane world I lived in.

If I were to sum up our relationship: I would say Mihael Kheel was worth it. Turning back to the movie,that was showing on a local station. Channel 9 news station suddenly appeared on the screen. "We've received a tape from an unknown person. What you are about to see will alarm you. Do not panic.

We at channel 9 are making the public aware of this new danger that is to come." My eyes widened in fear, as they displayed a uncensored picture of the murder victim, the case we were investigating.

"What the fuck?!" I shouted. "Mello!, Mello!" I said in alarm accidently kicking him awake in excitement. "What the hell Halle!" Mello shouted in annoyance sitting up and glaring at me. I didn't respond, but continued to stare at the television.

Mello turned to see what spooked me so much. "What… the … fuck… is going on?!" Mello asked shakily realizing what was happening. Mello's cellphone on the couch had begun to ring. "Mello here"

"There's been another murder."
