Chapter 10-

It was very hard for the japanese police officers to concentrate on what was being said at the meeting. It seemed that Nil and L were having a very heated debate every few minutes. They didn't seem too fond of eachother. It was apparent that L suspected Nil of being Kira. Meek didn't like this at all and ended up very angry by the end of the meeting.

"L, I do not think you are in the wrong to suspect me of being Kira." Nil assured. "But for the record I believe you should know that I am not."

"We shall see." L took in every movement and emotion she emitted. Not too hard to do considering the lack of both. "I am fairly certain that you are not the second Kira. But you may very well be the first. Although it is a very slim chance. It's like point five percent...."

"That is more then enough of a chance." Nil agreed interrupting L. She noticed immediately that this irked him. "Kira is not to be taken lightly and any chance of anyone being Kira is worth looking into."

"I can't BELIEVE you are agreeing with him." Mellie said crossing her arms like a little child. Nil smiled at her sister for a split second before returning to her masked facade. L noticed it though, and wondered why she didn't do it more often. The action looked a little strained, like she had never done such a thing. He wondered what kind of life she could have had considering she did not smile.

The rest of the team was looking over the papers given to them that showed the suspects who were under investigation a little over a week before the FBI agents were killed. L believed that Kira was one of those people.

"I can't believe this." Matsuda said excitedly. "It should be easy to find Kira now." L frowned at him for a moment before turning his attention to Lia, who was sitting next to him. He new she had been staring at him for quite some time. He had seen her out of the corner of his eye, but as soon as he looked towards her she quickly looked away with a small blush.

Was she curious about how he looked? Or was there some cheesecake on his face? He licked his lips, trying to find an offending piece of cake but found none. It must have been his first assumption.

"L." Nil said and he immediately turned to her. "I have taken the liberty of checking us into the room next door." L wasn't too surprised by this. "We are of more help to you if we stay close."

"Of course." He agreed halfheartedly. "I understand."

The meeting ended and hour later. Everyone left the papers on the table and grabbed their electronics on their way out the door. "Well, we should be going." Chi said from her corner of the room. She and Watari had been talking to one another throughout the meeting, like they had bee old friends. It must be an old person thing.

The girls nodded and stood at once. L watched as they left with a smile, and right as Watari opened the door for them he said something that actually made the three smile.

"Justice will prevail." Nil looked back at his smiling face, it was only that that had made her frown. What justice? There was no justice in such underhandedness. She looked back on some of her own faults and wondered if she was ending up just as sadistic as L. She was staring at L and he was frowning back at her as he noticed her own frown. She was staring straight through him, into her own thoughts.

"Yes, justice." She whispered before exiting the room.

The three girls were laying in their separate beds. They had requested that there be three in one room and one in another. Their mother had enough bribe money for the job. They were soo spoiled.

"Nil." Liora said as she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, hands behind her head.

"It's Sara now." There was a little bit of humor in Nil's voice. L had given all of them new alias's. He even gave himself one. Ryuzaki.

"Right." She said a little disgusted. "Anyways. Um...."

"Spit it out, Sam-an-tha." Mellie enunciated mockingly.

"O-kay, Ra-chel." She retorted.

"Ugh, why?" Mellie wasn't too fond of her new name and it made Liora giggle.

"Okay anyways, I was just wondering if..." Lia went on.

"If." Nil prodded.

"If you believe in love at first sight." She said it quickly.

A flash of her old foster family entered her mind and she pushed it back down to the deep abyss of her mind, hopefully never to pop up again. "Yes." She smirked at the second thought that crossed her mind. "There were two instances I loved at first sight." She revealed.

"Really?" Mellie asked. "When?"

"The first..." She was sure the room was bugged, and didn't want to reveal too much to her new aquaintance. "..you should both know the first." They nodded their heads slowly. The first time they were adopted. There parents were soo nice and happy and loving. The girls couldn't help but love them as soon as they saw them.

"And the second?" Liora asked unsurely.

The simper returned to Nil's face. "Do you really want to know?"

"YES." Both girls said in exasperation.

"Hehe, I would have loved to kick L in his face at first sight of him." Mellie burst out laughing at her little joke, but Liora didn't seem amused.

"Oh come on Sam. THAT was frickin hilarious." Mellie was soo full of mirth that it was hard not to smile.

"Don't worry Lia." Nil said gaining her attention. "Your secret is safe with me." Mellie was completely confused by this.

"Wait. What secret?"

"Thanks Nil." Lia rolled onto her side so that she could finally go to sleep. She would probably dream of the dark haired, crouching, sweet eating man. She smiled to herself as she drifted off.

L was now completely curious about Nil's past. She had just revealed that she had known love at first sight twice. The first time was a secret between the three girls. Nil obviously knew the room was bugged.

'I would have loved to kick L in his face at first sight of him.' Watari choked a little on his tea as he heard Nil's statement. L frowned slightly.

"So that's how it's gonna be." L was up for the challenge.

"Such a cunning girl. She must know you are listening." Watari said.

"Yes, I am quite sure she knows."

'Your secret is safe with me.'

Secret? Mellie was not the only one in the dark. L must have missed something. He rewound the tape and played it again trying to figure out the secret himself.

"Isn't it obvious, L?" Watari broke through the young man's thoughts. "She asked if Nil believed in love at first sight."

"Of course. She must have a crush on one of the NPA members." L said dully.

"Or yourself." Watari added making L choke on his own tea.

"Pleae Watari. If it is me, she is better off chasing after Mr. Yagami." L just could not believe that it was him that she had affections for. Especially after their encounter today. He wasn't exactly the most handsome, or well behaved person in the world.

"Definitely not me." He went back to monitoring the three young girls.
