A/N: Ugh, I don't really like how this chapter turned out... I hope the next one will be better.

I now look in what chapter I am. Then I think how much is left. Diz iz gonna take a while.

I do not own Death Note. I only own my OCs, that should have been obvious by now.

Chapter 8 – Thoughts

This building was strange. I didn't quite know what kind of place this was. Apparently, here it holds a few confinement rooms, cells, interrogation rooms and regular bedrooms as well. No hotel has all of them. This must be some kind of L's place for suspects or something... I didn't really care. As long as I can keep walking the corridor forward, I don't think about it.

I needed to make some kind of hypothesis about this. It can be even be physically impossible, I just needed something, anything, to try explain this situation. Otherwise I'll go mad.

I suddenly stopped in the middle of the corridor and leaned my head to the wall. I took a deep breath and covered my face with my hands. Alright, let's think everything through. First, Misa Amane. She must be the second Kira, all the evidence points to her and she definitely sent those tapes. Second, Light Yagami. We don't have any solid evidence against him but he gave himself in as a possible suspect of Kira, stating that he may become a murdered unconsciously. By how confusing to me he talked, he acted all the way. So to me there's a high chance he's actually Kira. And now, the strangest part. Not too long after both of the suspects' confinement, they suddenly appear to me completely different people. None of them seem to be Kiras. Anymore...

Let's assume this. Both Yagami and Amane were Kiras before their confinement. And after about a week they're not. They're not Kiras anymore. How could that happen? Can, by any chance, they simply forgot about being them? Something like amnesia... But no, not amnesia. It would be too much of a coincidence for both of them to have amnesia. But how then it's possible?

And that other thing. The words Light said that had a different meaning to them. 'Get rid of it'. It sounded like an order... An order to whom? And to get rid of what? I may be pushing it but the only thing I could think what was got rid of was... maybe his memories? Not long after he said that so called command, he suddenly became completely different. He suddenly became not Kira... Like he, maybe, forgot that? I may be really pushing this but I need something.

So that can be my hypothesis. I can ask L what he thinks of this and give him my thoughts. Maybe together we could work something out...

I sighed and moved my hands from my face. Then I slowly began walking back to my room.

-Kamiko's POV-

I now looked at the new Light. At the new Light, who wasn't Kira anymore. And the changes actually scarred me. I never imagined him being able to be like this. The cold and distant tone he had this week completely changed to extremely emotional when I forfeited his ownership and his memories were erased. He now talked with heat and shock, maybe even fear. And most of all, he was so sincere like I never heard him be.

But no matter how he may talk, no one would believe him. Well, except that girl Lily. She declared that Light wasn't lying and he was talking sincere and then left, because she said that this whole thing is too confusing for her. I don't blame her. In a second Light completely changed. If I would assume she's intelligent, she should think that Light was Kira and now he wasn't. Then she would have to try to think her way through why. I was really curious to hear her theory about all this. Maybe if an opportunity appears, I'll ask her. But for the time being, I'll just watch like any other investigator.

To be honest, this was rather boring. In the first few hours when Light lost his memory, it was interesting to examine others' reactions, especially Ryuzaki's. Nothing really showed on his face but I could see through it and I knew his mind was working to the fullest to figure out what was happening. Oh, how would I love to see what's going on inside his brain... But after that, nothing more interesting happened. Lily returned short after and sat in her usual spot. Examining her was actually one of my favorite activities here when I don't have 'work to do'. She just looked so different from others. But still, after a while of the same, it got boring. To stare at the two suspects and now the chief in cells through the monitors was dull. They didn't do anything particularly interesting. But I had nothing better to do, so I just sat in the couch near Ryuzaki and counted seconds looking at the view in front of me.

The other investigators, which here mainly Matsuda, Takashi and Aizawa, didn't stick around for the full day. I didn't either but I was the one who left the last of us four. Mogi was usually the one at the police department. And always when I leave, Ryuzaki still isn't left alone. Lily always stays as well. I wonder what they do here together? Do they talk or do they just sit in silence? But the most logical way is for Lily to go to sleep. Either way, I don't think I'll ever find out.

This day wasn't very different from the others. I, again, was left alone with the two not-so-talkative people. And the boredom was getting on my nerves. I could also go home but for some reason I didn't want to leave just yet. At these times hardly any words are said. I knew a decent conversation won't really work here, so I needed some other means of entertaining myself.

And then I got an idea. I had nothing better to do, so why not mess around with Ryuzaki a bit? Just a bit.

''Mmm, this sure is an interesting turn of events.'' I suddenly said. He nodded. I sighed and rubbed my eye. ''Don't you ever get tired or bored of watching this kind of stuff?''

''No.'' Was his simple reply. I narrowed my eyes a bit.

''I know I am.'' I said and let out a slight yawn. Then, because me and Ryuzaki were rather close and because I wanted to entertain myself, I gently leaned my head to his shoulder. I immediately felt his body straining up. Ryuzaki wasn't used to physical contact, I knew that, that's why this should have been fun. I wanted to see how exactly will he react to this.

''Then why don't you go home for today and rest?'' He asked, emotionless as ever, but even I could hear slight confusion in his voice. And what surprised me the most is that he didn't move away. I was sure he would.

''I guess I should. I don't really want sleep yet but... Oh, I know, I could bake you some new kind of sweets, I have rather a lot of recepies you know, not only one. Maybe you'd find something you like?'' I sweetly said.

''Maybe.'' There was a pause. ''But why do you want to do that?'' He asked doubtfully.

''I'm just trying to be nice.'' I shrugged. ''That's what people usually do.'' I laughed. I'm not really surprised that his may look rather strange to him, being as antisocial as he is. ''You're not really used to it, are you?''

He didn't say anything. Of course. How would he respond to that? I sighed and stood up.

''Either way, I think I will actually be going now. If I'm planning on baking something for you, I better start it.''

''You don't need to...'' He murmured.

''Yes I do. I know you want them, so that's it. And I'm not asking anything in return.'' I quickly added. I then turned to Lily. ''I'm not suggesting anything to you Lily, because you said you don't eat sweets, right?''

''Yes.'' She nodded and chuckled. ''It's nice of you to do something for Ryuzaki.''

''Yes, well... Oh, I just thought. You want to know how he looks? Just imagine a skinny panda.'' I said jokily and quickly went out, hearing Lily's laugh in the background and not staying to hear Ryuzaki's comment on that.

-Caitlyn's POV-

''Panda?'' I chuckled. ''That white and black bear, right? Hahah, well that's interesting. You really look like that?'' I laughed. Why on Earth would Nakamura say something like that?

''That's her point of view.'' L muttered, obviously annoyed.

''Hah, I never thought she could joke like that. So, black hair? Pale skin? And I'm guessing dark bags under your eyes?'' I tried to imagine it. ''Oh, what color are they?''

''Dark.'' He simply answered.

''Sorry for my questioning, it's just that... Well, you understand.'' I sighed. Actually I don't usually ask people how they look but on rare occasions...

After that there was silence. Maybe now was a good time to hear what L thinks of my hypothesis?

''Ryuzaki, may I share my thoughts on this situation with you?'' I asked carefully.

''Please do.''

''But first I need to ask you. Do you honestly believe what I say?'' My voice was serious. Of course, I pretty much knew the answer...

There was a pause before he answered.

''If I did, this will make the situation more confusing than it is.'' He slowly with his monotonic voice answered. ''Of course, I can't rule out the possibility of what you said was true.''

I sighed. ''I figured. Either way, here's what I think.''

I told him everything I thought about when I was in that hallway. About Misa, Light, their memories. It was up to L to deduct if what I think is atleast a bit reasonable.

''Lost their memories of being Kiras?'' He asked doubtfully after I finished.

''Yes, I can only think of that.'' I nodded.

''I guess that's worth considering.''

''But then the main question is why? Is this part of some kind of Light Yagami's plan?''

''You say that so confidently. I too think Light must be planning something, it's not like him to just give in.'' He paused. ''But why are you telling me your theory now? Why not when the others are here also?''

''Well...'' I coughed. For some reason I felt stupid saying this, there's a possibility that I'm wrong. I wasn't so sure when I needed to say it out loud. ''I think that... there may be a spy here.''

''A spy?'' I could hear that that surprised him. ''How did you came to that conclusion?''

I took a pause. I needed to say this correctly.

''Didn't you find it odd that when Misa Amane was apprehended, she tried so hard not to let out a single sound that her lips turned white?'' I slowly asked.

''I did. She tried a bit too hard not to speak. I thought that was because she knew you could...'' He fell silent. I think he got what I wanted to say.

''But she couldn't have known that.'' I began eating strawberries again. I took a rather long break today, don't want any trouble with my stomach.

''And you think she must have been warned then?''

''She might have. But I may be wrong about this, it's a bit far-stretched. And if we assume Light Yagami is in fact Kira, then there are also some things that are bugging me...'' I took another bite of the berry in my hand.

''I actually didn't thought about that possibility. Everyone on the task force seems trustworthy enough but now that you pointed out that someone may be working for the other side...'' I heard him take a sip of some drink.

''But like I said, this may be completely wrong. But it still won't hurt to be a bit more cautions and have that possibility in mind.''

''Right.''

…

What do you know, after another week criminals have started dying again. Two weeks worth of them were all murdered at once. Any sane person would immediately think that Light can't be Kira if this has happened when he was completely confined. But for me that only caused more suspicion. Will we ever fully understand what is going on?

A/N: Sorry if some scenes seemed... cheesy or something, I was in a weird mood while writing this.

I really love all the reviews, honest! They keep me going. If I'll be getting more, I might just update sooner... Sorry, I just love 'em.
