When Light walked into the waiting room, he wasn't expecting to see the small group around his father. Of course, he recognized Watari, but he didn't know who the other three were. The only things that he knew were that they were younger than himself. Well, at least two of them were. He walked to the group and sat beside his father. He then took note of the other three. One had blonde hair with blue eyes and he seemed to have an obsession with chocolate. Another had reddish colored hair and green eyes, though he had his face glued to a game screen, and the last who seemed the youngest had white hair and held on to the blonde. He looked towards Watari then back to his father. They were discussing something, most likely where the detective would go after all this.

Watari looked at Light when he came in and watched him take his place beside his father.

"How is he doing, Light?"

Light looked at him and shook his head. "Not too well…He was just put to sleep…"

Watari looked towards where the detective's door was, then turned his gaze back to the three boys. "I don't think you've been introduced to them yet…"

Light shook his head. "No, I haven't met these three yet."

Watari nodded and motioned to each of them in turn. First, the blonde. "This one is named Mello, this, is Near, he motioned to the white haired one, and that over there is Matt. I don't know why he's here though."

As he heard his name mentioned, Matt looked up from his game. "I'm here because Mello is and because I want to be."

Watari shook his head slightly. "Mello is the one that was supposed to be watching him that night."

Light looked at Mello. "Well, then why didn't he do what he should've done?"

Mello glared at Light. "It's not my fault I fell asleep!"

Watari stood between in case a fight were to break out and looked at them both. "There is no need for any fighting. What's done is done and all we can do now is wait for him to recover."

Mello rolled his eyes and ran a hand through Near's hair. "I'm not the one trying to pick a fight…"

"I know you're not, Mello. It's just a very stressful situation the we have found ourselves under." Watari turned his attention towards Light's father. "Have you made a decision on this?"

Light's father glanced towards Light then back to Watari. "I'm not sure what is wise. If he stays with us, there's still the whole Kira situation to deal with."

Watari nodded and looked at Light, He knew that the detective was sure that the young boy was Kira, even though he had no way of proving it. He nodded slightly and looked back to Soichiro. "I suppose we can take him back to Whammy's until he heals the rest of the way."

Soichiro nodded. "I think that will be a better idea than having him stay with us at this time. It'll most likely cause him more stress than he already has."

"I'd like to see him if I could…"

Watari looked at Near for a few moments before shaking his head. "I don't recommend it right now. He's

Asleep."

Near nodded and sighed. "I know that. I just want to know the extent of his injuries and if he's emotionally damaged." He said looking at the doctor.

The doctor looked at them all then glanced at his clipboard. "There's no way to know if he is emotionally damaged. Though, considering what has happened to him, I wouldn't doubt if he is."

Watari studied the doctor for a few minutes before nodding. He knew there was bound to be some issues with the detectives mental state as a result of all that has occurred. "Well, how long is he going to be asleep?"

The doctor looked at them. "He should be awake by tomorrow afternoon. And as far as I know, that will also be when he is to be released into someone's care." He looked at his clipboard and sighed.

Watari and Soichiro both looked at him. "Is there something else wrong with him?"

The doctor shook his head. "No, I was looking over his last blood test.." He said then glanced at Watari.

Watari looked back to the doctor. "What of it?"

"Nothing. I'd just recommend that he stay away from sugar for the time being."

Watari just shook his head. "I assure you the sugar he consumes has nothing to do with this."

The doctor looked at him and nodded. "Well, that is all for now. I'll keep you informed if we out something else." He said then walked away.

Watari nodded and turned his attention back to the other's. He wasn't surprised to see that Matt had fallen asleep, though the others were still awake. "At this point, I wouldn't recommend him staying near Light."

Soichiro nodded and glanced to Light. "Then it's settled. Once Ryuzaki is let out of here, he'll be transferred back to Whammy's." He then shifted his attention to Watari. "But who will take care o things with the case while he's away?"

Watari nodded toward the three boys. "They will be."
