Kiyoko knocked on the doors of the Task Force headquarters and Mello answered the door.

"Hey Kiyoko."

"Hello Mello-san! Is my dad upstairs?" She asked bowing quickly.

"Yep, you need to talk to him?"

"Mmhmm."

"Well then, follow me."

Kiyoko took off her shoes and Mello took her through security and then upstairs.

Matsuda turned around as his daughter entered the room.

"Hey Kiyoko, what are you doing here?"

"Hi daddy, mom wanted to know if you were coming home for dinner."

"Oh, well I was planning on working late."

"It's fine Matsuda-san you can go home and eat with your family."

"Are you sure Ryuzaki?"

"Yes, we'll be fine here. Yagami-san and Aizawa-san were also planning on staying late, not to mention Mello, Matt, and Near will be here."

"Ok, I guess I'm coming home for dinner then."

Kiyoko smiled and nodded, "oh and I was wondering if I could maybe invite Keitaro for dinner tonight."

Matsuda smiled and patted his daughter on the head, "I don't see why not."

"Yay! Thanks daddy!"

"His room is down the hall on the left."

"Thank you Ryuzaki-san!"

Kiyoko reached Keitaro's room, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Keitaro?"

Keitaro opened the door with a surprised look on his face.

"Kiyoko?"

He blushed, "what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I was just wondering if you wanted to come to my house for dinner?"

"Uh…sure! That sounds great!"

Keitaro smiled and Kiyoko smiled back.

"Great! Let's go!"

"Right now?"

"Of course silly!"

"Oh…ok!"

She grabbed his wrist and they left on their way to her house.

"Mom! Daddy's coming home and Keitaro Yagami is here for dinner too!"

"Ok sweetie, dinner will be ready soon!"

"C'mon Keitaro, let's go to the living room until dinner's ready."

Keitaro followed Kiyoko to the living room and sat down on the couch next to her.

"So…how is everything going?" Kiyoko asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Things are going pretty good…"

"Um…how's the Kira case going? I don't get to hear much about it, daddy doesn't tell me anything."

"Oh…uh…Ryuzaki is doing surveillance on his primary suspect but he hasn't found anything."

"Who's his suspect?"

"…Kai…"

"Oh…that's not good…but at least he hasn't found anything against him right?"

"Yeah…"

Oops! That wasn't a good topic…I need to think of something else to talk about…c'mon Kiyoko you can think of something!

"So…do you wanna watch TV Keitaro?"

"Sure."

Kiyoko flipped on the television.

'There were twelve more criminals found dead today, police suspect Kira was involved…'

Kiyoko quickly changed the channel.

'In a recent poll, 86% of people said they supported Kira…'

She changed the channel again.

'In other news, Kira…'

'So, how do you feel about Kira?'

'Where do you stand on the Kira debate?'

'Kira…'

'Kira'

'Kira'

'Kira'

' Spongebob Squarepants!'

This should be ok… Kiyoko thought to herself.

'Don't miss tonight's special Nick News with Linda Ellerbee: Kids Talk About the Kira Case.'

Kiyoko turned the TV off.

"Maybe we could play a board game?"

She giggled nervously.

"Kids! Dinner's ready!"

The family sat down at the table and started eating, Kiyoko's parents talked and joked around and by the end of the meal, everyone was laughing. So this is what it's like to act like a family…I was five years old the last time I did that—I forgot how nice it was…

Keitaro smiled as he thought to himself. Kiyoko's mom got up to clear the table.

"Would you like some help with the dishes?"

"Oh no, I've got it but thank you for offering Keitaro."

Matsuda stood and put a hand on Keitaro's shoulder.

"C'mon Keitaro, Kiyoko, let's go play a game."

Matsuda pulled out "Jinsei Game" and—after a quick explanation of the rules—they set it up and began playing.

Matsuda pulled up to the Task Force headquarters.

"Thank you for dropping me off Matsuda-san. I had a great time."

"No problem Keitaro, it was great having you over. You should come again sometime."

Keitaro smiled, exited the car, and walked through the doors.

So Kai is the Kira suspect…hmmm…Kai as Kira? It's possible…and if Keitaro knows then it would explain why he's been so depressed lately. But Kai has never seemed evil—sure he's angry and kind of scary but not evil…maybe I should talk to Keitaro—no, no, no that's a terrible idea! If I wanna know for sure I'll have to find out myself.

Kiyoko sighed, turned out the light, and went to sleep.
