A/N: Hello, I do hope you like this chapter and will continue reading. I am really tired right now so I will, hopefully, post the rest tomorrow.

Today is the first time that I was annoyed enough with my phone to want to break it, even though I am not a violent person except when my sister annoys me when she knows that I will hurt her. Always feel bad about hurting, yelling or arguing with someone right after it happens though.

My phone's battery went from 85% to 65%, turned off by itself. Turned it on it was 75 or 71%, turned off by itself again the next second. Turned it on, it was 'critically low' at 2%. Started charging it, it was at 71%. Then it turned off by itself again and would not turn on despite being at about 45% when it turned itself off. I had to ask the Hub at my University if there was a phone on campus I could use to call my mom to pick me up. All of that in the three and a half hours I was stuck at school which emailed at 7:42 A.M. saying that day and evening classes were cancelled because of the power outage caused by wind and rain from a Hurricane in Florida, I think that's where it is anyway.

Chapter Eleven: The New Kira

L's POV

"Shouldn't we open an investigation into Naomi Misora's disappearance?"

"We don't need to do that" I told Aizawa, Ukita, and Matsuda. "Why not?" Aizawa asked, annoying me.

"I already told you that she was killed by Kira. If you just want to find her body I'm sure someone would have stumbled across it by now" I told him. "It has been four months since she's been missing" Ukita commented. I sipped my Tea before I heard a knock on the door.

"What is it Watari?" I asked the man when he walked in, faster than usual. I was concerned since he wouldn't rush like that unless it was important. "Something's happening on Sakura TV" he answered. I watched Aizawa turn the TV on to channel 48, Sakura TV.

"In other words, all of the people here at Sakura TV are Kira's hostages. Even if that wasn't the case, we have a professional obligation to share this message. I assure you that this is not a trick and Sakura TV is not airing this for sensationalism"

What is happening? The need to say that this is not a ploy for 'sensationalism' got to me most. It seems like they wanted something like this to happen but doesn't want anyone to know that.

"A total of four days ago, our Director received four Tapes from someone claiming to be Kira. With a thorough examination, there is no doubt that this is the case. The first Tape was a prediction of two suspected Criminals who had died yesterday. They had died at the exact time that Kira had specified"

There's something off about this. Kira said he wouldn't be contacting anyone anymore. This is what 'Sorry but now it's time for goodbyes' in the last note he had a victim write.

"Kira instructed us to air two Tapes today at 5:59 P.M. We do intend to comply with his demands" the reporter informed his audience. I ignored most of the rest and the conversation the Detectives were having behind me. When it turned 5:59 I went back to observing the TV.

The letters in 'kira' appeared on the screen in the same Gothic font my L appears in. *Ahem* "This is Kira" an electronic voice started. It sounded more feminine than masculine, even with the voice distorter.

"If this video is being aired at exactly 5:59 P.M. on April 18, then the time now is 5:59:47, 48, 49" is that a countdown? This Kira told those watching to turn to Taiyo TV. Kazuhi Kohibima, Taiyo Tv's anchor, will die at 6 o'clock.

"Change the channel" I said easily, ignoring the Detectives clamoring again. The channel was now channel 36 and the man's head, leaned back as if unconscious, was the first thing we saw. "Change it back" I said, easily and with urgency.

"I will also need two more TVs, Watari"

He agreed with me without hesitation. She said that this was a punishment, that there will be another victim. The next victim is Seiji Kumaizumi, an NHN TV Commentator. "He has also dared to defy Kira" so those are her reasons for killing them. Because they defied Kira.

"Channel 24" I told Matsuda who has the remote. He changed the channel, but Seiji was already dead. She's as accurate as the first Kira. "Change it back"

"Now that you have seen my power, you must have no trouble believing that I am Kira" the woman told us. "Stop this broadcast somehow!" I yelled at the Detectives.

Matsuda: "We need to get Sakura TV on the line!"

Aizawa: "This isn't good. None of my contacts cells are online"

Matsuda: "No one is picking up at reception either"

Ukita ran to the door, telling us that he would go there himself. I dialed Raito's number to see where he's at on this. "Please listen to me. I do not want to kill the innocent, I hate killing and love justice…" the dial tone on my phone ended.

"Hey Ryuzaki! What is it?" Raito greeted/asked, making me smile. "Where are you right now?" I asked, curious about the answer.

"I just got home from Piano" he sounded confused. I can understand that since I called him out of the blue. I heard Matsuda mention the TV, which I was watching diligently despite listening to Raito.

"You wouldn't happen to be watching Sakura TV or the News on your TV, would you?" I know it's a long-shot, but I should still ask.

"If you're asking because Kira killed another person, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I can't stand the sight of dead bodies, so I don't watch the News. You should know that. I don't watch anything regarding Kira either" he told me. "And yet you still want to be a part of the Kira Task Force" I resisted the urge to smirk at my own comment, and his.

"The only parts about the Kira case, that I know of, is what you and my father have told me. Nothing more and nothing less" I heard the TV turn on on the other end of the line. I heard Aizawa's frustration at Ukita dropping to the ground as a result of a Heart Attack next.

"Mr. Aizawa" I said when he tried to run out the door. "Where are you going?" I asked, keeping the phone to my chest.

"Where do you think I'm going? All you're doing is listening to this maniac talk, and talking to a Kira suspect like it's a walk in the Park" he told me. He sounded hurt and in a panic. "Think about this rationally Aizawa"

"You said that Kira needed a name and a face to kill! Doesn't this prove that he doesn't?" Aizawa yelled at me.

"It seems so. Kira might have placed surveillance cameras instead of actually being there however. You'll meet the same fate if you go down there" I explained. I gripped my knees in frustration and anger. I was trying really hard not to follow. Talking to Raito right now was the only reason I wasn't the first to leave.

"Mr. Ukita was killed, don't throw your life away over something that won't be worth it in the end. You can pick up Ukita later, no point throwing your life away over something you can do later" I told him. He backed off before asking why I was talking to a Kira suspect.

"Raito isn't a suspect for Kira, he's a suspect of being Kira's façade. The best way to find out how he knows me when no one should, is to talk to him. That is exactly what I am doing" I froze at what I just said. Lifting my phone off my chest I saw 'Call Ended' on the screen in English.

"And he just hung up" I sighed before turning my attention back to the TV.

Kira told us, the Police, to give an answer in four days on the six o'clock News. Not long after Kira announced that did a Van crash into the Sakura TV Station. "That's one way to get in without being seen" I frowned. That is also a very dangerous way.

DEATH NOTE

I hope that isn't Soichiro. Raito will be upset if it is and so will Sayu and Sachiko. "Do you still have Detective Kitamura's number, Aizawa?" I asked the man. He nodded before handing me the phone when he found the contact.

I pressed the 'Call' button on the phone before placing it next to my ear. "This is L, I need you to do something for me" I told the man when he answered. He immediately thought the one calling was Aizawa, which makes sense, but he is also surrounded by a lot of people who could possibly not have his number.

"If you don't take control of the situation at Sakura TV, there may be other Officers who will be encouraged to take a stand. It will get out of control because of these people if you do not stop this" I explained to the man.

"But we're not allowed to interfere with the investigation…" Kitamura tried to reason. He stopped cold however when two more Police Officers dropped to the ground, dead as a result of a Heart Attack.

The woman airing the footage told everyone to move away from the scene, fearing their lives were endangered as well. "I see your point, tell me what to do"

I told the man what to do, before the phone in Watari's breast pocket started ringing. "It is from Detective Superintendent Soichiro Yagami" the man informed. "End the call, call him back immediately and give me the phone" I told him quickly, hand out for the phone.

"This is L, it was you who crashed into the Sakura TV building" I stated when he asked for me. Raito and the girls are going to worry about him more than they already are.

"Yes, I confiscated all the Tapes from the Sakura building. I suppose going through the front won't be a good idea" I frowned at his priorities. "First, are you okay? Your family is going to worry" I asked.

"I've never felt more alive in my whole life than I do right now. They will get over it when I explain it to them anyway" I have a feeling that won't go over as well as he thinks it will. "Detective Kitamura? Are the preparations ready?" I asked when I held the other phone to my ear.

"Yes they are" I switched to the other phone when I heard that.

"Listen carefully, Mr. Yagami. Wait five minutes and exit through the front entrance, trust me on this" I told the man. "I've trusted you from the beginning"

Why does he trust me so much? Raito to for that matter?

After five minutes had passed, I told everyone to keep their faces covered and to leave no gaps in the barricade. With this, no one should be able to see Mr. Yagami walk out of the TV Station.

Later in the night, I smiled when Koki Tanakabara gained the courage to speak out against Kira. The door opened and closed not long after he announced that on the television. "Chief Yagami!" I heard Matsuda say.

"I must apologize for acting alone. I guess I got a bit emotional" Soichiro apologized when I stood up from the couch. "Not at all, Chief Yagami" I told him when I walked over to the group. He held out a bag to me, saying they were the Tapes and envelopes that Kira sent to Sakura TV.

"I really can't thank you enough for this" I thanked him before I took the bag out of his hands. "I think I should sit down…" I searched the bags when he said this. He doesn't sound good at all.

When I heard him sit down, I pulled out an envelope that had a red strip on the top, middle of it. The postmark says it's from Osaka, but that doesn't mean she lives there. She could've had someone send it from there without them knowing and without her physically being there. "Mr. Aizawa? Take this to the Crime Lab immediately"

"I have a few friends there, I'll make sure they're thorough" he told me, taking the bag from me. "Please do so" I said, messing with my phone. I can probably talk to him in person later. I want to ask why he hung up so suddenly.

Time Skip: Next Morning

"What did you make of them?" Soichiro asked when he walked in.

"They were interesting. If the Police agreed to help Kira, then Tape 3 would have been aired. If they didn't agree to help Kira, Tape 4 would be aired" I told them easily. This is actually quite fun.

"Tape 3 covers the terms of cooperation. Kira wants us to broadcast the names of more Criminals, more specifically those who had hurt others or had taken advantage of the weak in some way" I summarized.

This Kira is likely someone who had lost loved ones this way. They probably started out on this Kira-impersonator path because Kira killed the person that hurt them.

"Showing such support is the truth, she wants the Kira Task Force and L to show themselves on a Live Broadcast and announce that we will cooperate with her. She needs us to show our faces so that she can kill us if we do anything suspicious" I explained to them.

"And the fourth tape if we were to answer no?" Soichiro asked.

"The wording is different, but more or less means the same things" which is vague but true. I wouldn't expect anything else from either Kira. "Please have someone take Tape 4 to Sakura TV and authorize the broadcasting of it" I slid the Tape across the table for one of them to pick up.

The second Kira told us we have four days to decide who will die, the NPA Director General or me. Those were the two choices. We don't have to concede to the commands of a killer though.

Raito's POV

I was confused by L's call. When I heard him having a conversation, a loud conversation, with someone I guessed he wouldn't be talking to me for a while and hung up.

I turned the TV on and hesitantly pressed the button for the News. It was broadcasting Sakura TV.

A Van crashed into the front entrance of the News Station confusing me. I muted it because it didn't make any sense to me this late into the broadcast.

Sighing in frustration I took my Flute from its case. I need to practice for the next recital. I started playing the Flute version of 'Andro' by FAUN.

I was still awake by morning light. I don't need sleep, so it wasn't a surprise when I saw the light seep through my window.

When it was 6:00 I saw that the six o'clock News was still talking about Kira and the Sakura TV fiasco. I was confused so I stopped playing 'Punagra' by FAUN. Unmuting the TV, I heard the demands from the Kira impostor. I sighed and decided I've watched the News enough for the week. I changed the channel to my usual one.

"It looks like a Shinigami came to this world to, I wonder which one" Ryuk said. I have school soon, I can't be bothered with whatever this is.

I went to the bathroom to clean myself up a bit. Remove the bags from under my eyes from lack of sleep and whatnot. Sleep helps my race keep their appearance, so we won't be hunted down and create mass panic.

Drinking animal blood keeps us looking life-like instead of deathly pale. That allows us to have a 'normal' life without being picked out in a crowd.

L's POV

"It's as you thought, Ryuzaki" Soichiro said as he walked in. He took a seat as he continued.

"It seems that many neighboring Countries have weighed in that you should be the one to appear on TV" Soichiro told us. I sipped my Tea before showing him that I heard him. "It's the most reasonable option given the circumstances. We still have three more days to think it over"

"We can probably find a countermeasure before the deadline" setting the Teacup down on it's saucer. "It would be annoying if I was killed by Kira's fan though" this surprised and confused them. "What do you mean by that Ryuzaki?!" Soichiro asked in shock. I swallowed my piece of Strawberry cake before answering.

"This Kira is more than likely a fake, we should call her the Second Kira" I told them easily. "H-How did you come to that conclusion?" Aizawa stuttered.

"When I looked over the first few victims, they were disposables to show Sakura TV that she is the real Kira. They were mentioned in women's magazines and daytime television talk shows" I poked at a Strawberry that was on my plate, messing with it as I spoke.

"The real Kira doesn't need to prove himself" eating the Strawberry I was playing with. "She wanted to make sure that she killed people that the real Kira wouldn't get to first"

"What's the probability of a second Kira?" Soichiro asked. "More than 70%"

They gasped in shock once that left my mouth. "I don't like how either operates, but this one I do not like even more. She doesn't act at all like the real Kira" I said through gritted teeth. "What do you mean by that, Ryuzaki?" Matsuda inquired.

"The real Kira has, for the most part, avoided killing innocent people. With the exceptions of those trying to catch him. If we catch the original Kira, it might give us insight into how to catch the other" I explained, sipping my Tea. "I would like your permission to ask your son to join the Task Force, Mr. Yagami" I asked the man when I looked at him.

"Of course, I don't mind if you ask him. The sooner he joins, the sooner he can become a Private Detective with crimes involving art and music"

I smiled internally before the occupation reached my ears. Private Detective with crimes involving art and music? Raito did say he loves those two subjects.

"Please don't tell him that the latest Kira might be a fake. We don't want him to know that yet" I told him, a finger to my lips.
