Disc: Own nothing but Kaoru (Bell) Da Beatch owns E!
Summary: Near and Bell make Matsuda go crazy. Light turns himself in and Misa finds out she has a hope.
"Hard on the Shinigami"
- Thanks – Matsuda sat in the nearest couch, Rem took a seat also – so… who are you?
- I am Bell – Kaoru smiled at him, as she sat in a couch beside him – and this one here is Near.
Matsuda nodded – I see… and why is that L sent me here… with you?
- We're part of a parallel Kira task force – Near answered.
Matsuda didn't believe these last words, and gave away a loud laugh.
- What's so funny? – Bell asked him, this time.
- No-nothing – Matsuda mumbled, cutting off his laughter suddenly – so, is it true?
She nodded, smiling warmly; Matsuda's naïve ways were quite charming for her.
He laid back in the couch, nervously – Aw, man!
- We're not bothering you – Bell assured him – Right, Near? We're not kids, like you called us.
- You can be sure of it – Near nodded as he sent a message on his laptop – we don't fit on the description that you adults tend to make for the word "kid".
Matsuda nodded, not knowing why; he just didn't want to bother that kid. – I… should go to the bathroom…
- In the bedroom – Bell pointed him, still smiling and Matsuda left towards that place.

- Here I am – Light came in and showed his hands to L – I'm turning myself in…
L wasn't surprised by this gesture… at least not as much as the rest of the task force was. – Fine; Izowa, put the handcuffs on him
- I'll do it – Mr. Yagami interrupted them
- Fine, then – L didn't oppose
Mr. Yagami handcuffed his son; Light hardly moved
- I hope you know what you're doing – he told Light – and I also hope it's not you…
- You don't have to hope – Light answered – I AM Kira…
Mr. Yagami only looked down and didn't insist. He took Light to his cell and came back with the rest of the task force.
- It's done – E told L – Near just sent me the message: Matsuda and Rem are on the hotel.
- Very well – L answered, then he handed gas masks to the rest of the task force, including E – I want all of you wearing this all the time: it's absolutely necessary that nor Rem, Light Yagami or Misa Amane gets to see your faces.
- Why's that for? – Izowa asked him, placing his mask.
- We don't know whether Misa Amane could have the Shinigami eyes – L answered – or either of Rem's intentions.
- Rem's intentions? – Mr. Yagami asked him, then – what's that supposed to mean?
- Rem might be working alongside with Kira – he added as he took sugar cubes and put them into his coffee cup – for what we know, shinigamis can kill anyone they want, as long as they hold their own Death Notes. If you rather keep the mask off, I understand, but I must advice you not to risk your life.
Mr. Yagami kept his face uncovered, for all he knew, if his son was Kira, there was no longer a reason for him to stay safe. Death was the destiny he'd choose if it happened.
L took Mr. Yagami, Izowa and the rest of the task force to the building where Light Yagami had his apartment. Mr. Yagami offered to knock on the door for the rest.
- Hello there! – Misa opened the door, as she smiled; she seemed brain-dead as usual – Mr. Yagami! And why are the rest of you wearing masks? I GET IT! You're having a party!
- I'm afraid that's not it – Mr. Yagami corrected her: - we're here to arrest you – he held her arm and took her away.
- What?! – she tried to freed her arm – NO! Light said I'd e safe! He promised!
- I'm sorry, Miss Amane – L told her as they handcuffed her – but Light's not safe himself.
- You caught Light? – she asked away, suddenly losing all the interest in releasing herself.
- He turned himself in – L answered – a pretty clever move, I must say: he's safe now in confinement unable to make a move, while the rest of the task force has to deal with you and the shinigamis left.
Misa lost every interest in freeing herself: how come she could have forgotten? Rem was saving her… any moment…
She didn't oppose at all when Mr. Yagami placed her in the back of her car and drove her to her confinement.

- He's cute, isn't him? – Bell asked away, while Matsuda was in the bathroom.
Near didn't answer right away – I don't think my opinion is very valid, given I'm a male too…
Bell blushed – I… I didn't intend to say it out loud – she apologized.
- It's ok – Near kept on with his dice buildings – I don't have a problem with people showing their feelings…
- You know… I think you're cute too – Bell joked, to see if he'd react differently. To her surprise, Near dropped his dice halfway to his tower and she couldn't see it, given he was kneeled, looking down, but she was sure he had blushed.
- Thanks – that's all he said.
- Wait! - Bell exclaimed - Where's the Shinigami?
