A/N: I did some slight plot manipulation of the original Kira plot-line.
I overlook the papers Watari had given me just two hours ago. Natsuki Ishii – the name Wedy gave me. She is twenty two – just a year under Ayko's age. It seems she finished a community college two years ago. So Ayko didn't meet her at school…
She had a sister that died when Natsuki was nine and two brothers. The last one died a few years ago. Both of her parents are deceased…so Ayko isn't her intermediate family.
Did he hire her to take care of his mother? Is that woman even Ayko's mother? Though the papers say she lives in the same place the woman told the guard, it doesn't say the woman's name.
Could they have been in a relationship? But then, why would Natsuki keep care over the mother of a murderer? Did she care that much for Ayko? But Ayko never mentioned that he was in a relationship…
I realize I'm overanalyzing again. All I need to figure out is how to get Natsuki to let me into the house to question the woman. Natsuki definitely knows the woman's name and maybe she can help me figure out how to get the woman to talk. I need to know if she knows that I am L. But then I would need to get Natsuki to trust me… how do I do that?
First I need a reason to show up on her doorstep. I could always say that I know the woman and need to talk to her but I highly doubt any one would allow me near someone else unless I knew that person's name. It's simple etiquette that I tend not to follow.
Perhaps I could get the old woman to answer the door. But if I came while Natsuki was away, then I might not even get the woman's name. Could I plan it to where I was on the doorstep as Natsuki came back from her job?
And what would be my reason for seeking out the woman again? Could I tell them partial truth – that I met her "someplace" and she said something about Ayko – which is the name of a person I went to college with? Would they believe that? I know the woman could vouch for me…
What if she said that she met me on a campus? Could I pull off saying that I was visiting my brother? And if I did say that could they figure out I have no brother?
I hear Matsuda come in – so it must be six. Natsuki gets home around seven o'clock… should I try today? Matsuda starts talking to me.
"Ryuzaki, the murders have started up again – that means we can let Light, Misa, and Mr. Yagami go!"
I sigh, looking down at the coffee that Watari also brought me. I had barely touched it. I picked it up and start sipping it now. "Let's watch them…just for a little longer."
He starts to argue. "But, Ryuzaki –"
"I have my reasons, Matsuda. And I need to leave as of right now."
"So what do I do?"
"Under no circumstances do you tell Misa or Light that the killings have started again."
"What about Mr. Yagami?"
"I believe it is best to not inform him either." With that, I leave.
Once standing at the door, I wait until I see the car pull up before I even open the screen to knock on the door.
As I bang upon the door, Natsuki walks up. "Um, excuse me? Who are you and what do you want?"
Here goes nothing.
