Just a moment ago Light got a call from his father about Ryuzaki wanting him to help with the Kira case. Apparently Ryuga, also L, called himself Ryuzaki during this case. This was the moment he had been waiting for! Now he could get information way easier than before. And he needed some information right now about the Kira broadcast on Sakura TV… Light had to find out about this imposter before the Task Force did.

Right after the broadcast he had called B to ask if this was some kind of joke of him. B had denied knowing something about who was behind the broadcast. He assumed B spoke the truth and someone else was behind all of this. Light just hoped this other Kira wasn't stupid enough to reveal important things about the Death Note.

'Welcome, Light,' L greeted when he entered the hotel room where the Task Force currently gathered. 'I think it's best for you to start going through the information we collected so far. I also like you to examine these videos.'

L put his thumb against his lips as he often did. 'Hmm… You know what? I think it would be good if you watched the videos first. I'd like you to watch these closely and tell us what you think about them.'

Light nodded and L lead him to the couch positioned in front of the TV. The video started and Light recognized the voice of the fake Kira.

Nobody had said a thing about the subject of these videos I have to watch. It'll be weird if I commented on that so I just have to watch the whole thing.

Light watched the whole video, managed to see L watching him closely too. As if he tried to read every thought that went through his mind.

This has to be a test! L said he wants to know what I think about this videos before! I have to come up with a good comment without showing that I'm the real Kira…

When the video finally ended, L asked: 'And what do you think, Light?'

Light stood up from the couch and faced L. 'It's hard to say for sure, but there might be another person out there with Kira's power.'

His father Soichiro replied puzzled to his deduction. 'Kira's power? What do you mean by that?'

'I'd say this video isn't created by the Kira we're familiar with,' he explained. 'It's extremely out of character for him to use this kinds of victims for his killings. Besides this Kira didn't need a face and a name to kill compared with the other Kira.'

Light looked at all of them. 'So I'd say we are speaking about a second Kira.'

The whole Task Force stared wide eyed at him. L looked the same as always of course.

'That… That's the same conclusion Ryuzaki came up with…' Aizawa said amazed.

'I think you're exactly right about that,' L said. 'We also believed that this was the work of a second Kira.'

I knew it!

'So… this was just a test?' Light asked.

'No, it wasn't my intention to test you. The truth is if I was the only one that thought there was a second Kira it wouldn't be too convincing. But we both came to the same conclusion so that makes the theory more believable. As expected you did not disappoint us. You've been a great help.'

L slouched, like he always did, and picked up his laptop from the coffee table.

'Now Light, since you're officially part of this investigation I want you to show our first and only suspect we have at the moment.'

Light's eyes widened slightly in surprise. 'You've already found a suspect of who you think is the second Kira?

L nodded. 'Yes, not long ago a dangerous criminal escaped and I suspect him being the second Kira. I've already informed the others on the Task Force about this man.'

Light glanced at the others in the room and saw different emotions flash by on their faces. Anger, disgust, fear and more like those. Matsuda had paled the moment L began to speak about this criminal.

When L stood in front of Light again he slowly turned his laptop so he could see what was on the screen.

No way…

On the screen was a name, birth date and every other detail about the criminal. This didn't shock him until he saw the small photo next to it. The man on the photo looked like L's identical twin. The only difference was the dark brown reddish eye color, L had dark grey eyes, and the missing dark shadows under his eyes. This was the guy that he met some time ago and helped him with his mission to get rid of the evil in this world.

The criminal was B.

According to the document on the laptop screen B's real name was Beyond Birthday. Good to know that fact… you never know when someone's name comes in handy.

All these things raced through his mind in merely seconds and although he was shocked he managed to keep his composure and his face didn't betray his real thoughts.

'So this Beyond Birthday killed three people in LA,' Light said when he read the rest of the details. 'A woman named Naomi Misora caught him eventually and he was sent to an asylum where he stayed for some years and then managed to escape.'

Light turned away from the screen to glance at L. 'Why do you think this man could be the second Kira? I don't see anything about a connection between him and the case.'

L nodded. 'You are right, Light. There is no connection between them except one.'

Light looked surprised, half acting half true. 'What is it?

'The woman Naomi Misora was killed not long ago in a horrible way. On her body was a "B" written in blood like a signature. It was his intension that I found out he did it.'

Watari appeared out of nowhere and handed the photo of the crime scene to Light. Light took it and stared at the bloody mess that was once Naomi Misora. Blood and burns all over her body.

So this is what happened to her… I have never asked for details. Just hearing from B that she was gone forever had been enough. I've never thought about how he did the job.

'He murdered her probably to take revenge, but Misora was connected to a FBI agent,' L explained further. 'This FBI agent lost his live during the case together with others. Misora was his fiancé and knowing her she tried to find out about Kira herself. I think she got really close to discovering Kira's identity so Kira sent B to get rid of her. Knowing B I know he would love to do that.'

Light furrowed his eyebrows. 'But this isn't any real proof…'

'No, it isn't. These are just speculations, but they are believable enough to make him a suspect of being the second Kira. Another point is B wants me dead and seeing Kira wants the same thing I think it is likely for them to team up against me.'

'Besides…' L looked Light right in the eye before he continued. 'I know B knows my real name.'

The other men who were listening silently to L and Light's conversation gasped as one at that statement. Light just acted perfectly shocked too.

'But Ryuzaki, you could die every moment if B is working with Kira and he knows about your name!' Soichiro exclaimed.

L nodded. 'I know. But if he wanted to tell my name I think he would've done it already.'

He sighed. 'I have never known how he discovered my name and I still don't know. But seeing this second Kira killing people without needing a name I can only think this is another aspect pointing in B's direction.'

The Task Force began to discuss these new conclusions about B, but Light was lost in his thoughts for a moment and didn't pay much attention.

L already thinks B is helping me and apparently I have been working with a criminal all this time without knowing.

I think it's time I have a talk with B next time I can pay him a visit…


So Light is finally a member of the Task Force! And he knows about B... next chapter the confrontation between Light and B!
