I grit my teeth. "What do you mean videos?" I growl at Watari. He opens a video on the screen. I watch it intently. Why is Kira calling us out like this? That isn't in the profile. Anne watches intently as well, her hands on her hips. I haven't spoken to Bryant yet, and I probably won't until I have to. The last thing I need is him at my back. My skin crawls just considering it. The man will want me dead so quickly.

"I ask for the one with the other Death Note to step forward," the voice finishes. I lean back, watching a small smirk break out on Anne's face. Death Note. My heart quickens. It can't… That doesn't… I fall down onto the ground on my knees.

"Death Note," I swallow. "That means shinigami."

"You should have listened," Anne clicks her tongue.

"What's a shinigami?" Matsuda asks. We all turn to him.

"I heard about them in class once. Gods of death, right?" Light chimes in. I study him for a moment. What class would he possibly have that he would hear about shinigami?

"Exactly," Anne sighs. "There are ancient scripts hinting at the use of certain notebooks connected with the gods. These death notes can be used to kill others. There has been no confirmation of one existing though."

"How do you know so much about them?" Mogi asks. Anne shrugs.

"Devout pagans have a thing for knowing such things," Yagami coldly explains. We tried getting him to take some more time off but he wouldn't hear it. Anne glares at him with angry eyes.

"She's a pagan?" Light asks. Anne rolls her eyes.

"Yes, I actually am. Is that an issue?" Anne snaps. Light shakes his head. "Good. The last thing I need is for some college boy to start questioning my beliefs."

"Miyu, back down," I warn. She huffs and walks out of the room. I don't understand. She usually would be happy and full of pride right now. It must be the hormones. The symptoms of pregnancy have certainly been kicking in lately. This morning I was half shocked when she finally left the bathroom. We haven't exactly told anyone yet, but she wears that ring like it's a part of her body. I look back at the others. "If this truly is a shinigami and a human, this will be exceedingly difficult to figure out," I remark.

"Will we even be able to put that in court?" Light asks.

"I have other methods of finding guilt," I remind him. He seems a bit paler than before. Could it be that the idea of Kira… Wait. "This isn't Kira," I mutter.

"What do you mean?" Yagami asks, leaning forward. I stand up, pacing a bit.

"Kira wouldn't be this bold. It isn't in his nature. No, this is a second Kira. They may be trying to draw the first one out towards them," I breathe, placing my thumb against my bottom lip.

"What do we do about that?" Matsuda asks.

"It's simple, really. We in turn draw the second Kira out," Anne points out, leaning against the doorframe with a piece of licorice in her hand. It's been her latest craving, right after blackberries which were after salt and vinegar chips. She tosses me a piece of licorice. "We play their game, call them out, and we may be able to use this second Kira to catch the first."

"That's brilliant," I chuckle, surprised I didn't think of it myself. "We should prepare a video in return."

"I could write out what we should say," Light offers. We all look at him.

"Are you sure?" his father asks.

"No, Light is right. We believe Kira to be younger. We need someone young to write Kira's reply. That only makes sense," I muse. I turn to Anne. "What do you think?" I know she is trying to get a read on Light. She has been since the day they met.

"I think it sounds perfect," she coos, a smile breaking out on her face. I know that smile. She's onto something. I also know exactly what that is. Right now, Light is our prime suspect. Having him play the role of Kira in our plan only makes sense. If he is Kira, it lets us see how he would react.

"Get to work then," I sigh. I go to watch the video a few more times. There are clear differences in how Kira 1 and Kira 2 act. I'm right by calling this a second Kira. The plot is getting thicker.

Later in the evening after everyone has left, Anne sits in my lap. "You owe me," she remarks. There's my Anne.

"You may still not be right," I point out.

"Second Kira mentioned a Death Note. That means shinigami. It's not rocket science," she chuckles. "Light had some interesting points."

"Asking this second Kira to kill me fits within Kira's profile," I agree. I had to have him fix his first draft.

"You really need to be careful, L. If Light is Kira… I don't want you getting hurt, or worse," Anne sighs. I rest my hand on her stomach.

"What is the number one thing I'm good at?" I ask.

"You're great in bed," she laughs.

"Then the second," I reply. She leans back into me.

"You're insanely gifted at catching bad guys," she answers.

"Exactly, Anne, I'm good at this. I'm the best. I'm careful and know how to cover my tracks. I'll be okay," I assure. She kisses my head with a long sigh.

"I love you, L," she whispers in my ear.

"I love you too, both of you," I laugh, rubbing her abdomen. After Anne is asleep I replay the video. Did the real Kira see this when it was broadcasted on TV? I can't help but wonder. The Death Note… Anne may just be right on this one. If so, this all got ten times more dangerous, if not more.

A/N: OH MY GOSH AN UPDATE! Hi guys! So I haven't been ignoring this! Nanowrimo has been busy and I've been preparing a few new things... More on that in a moment. So. Quote. Found this on Brainy Quote when I decided to finally sit and work on this. It was the first quote that came up and I was like this is perfect because it so fits L. Second Kira is in play folks. I sort of condensed things here. I do not plan on this being super long like some of my other fan fictions, but not too short either. I'm trying to pace myself accordingly. L, you should have listened to Anne and Sybil. They know their stuff, man. Okay, other news. Looking ahead, I should be able to post more often! I'm actually going to be able to use some of my school time to work on Nanowrimo writing which means I have more time to work in the evening on fan fictions. Then next week is Thanksgiving which means days of no school or work, translating to more writing. That pretty much brings us straight to December... What's coming in December? I am deleting my fan fiction called Memories (if you read my profile often all the information is there by the way). In its place I have a four part Black Butler comedy fan fiction written out that will be posted throughout the month. December will also be mass catch up time when it comes to posting. Prepare yourselves accordingly. Another big project I started is a Marvel fan fiction. I am so freaking excited it isn't even real. I've wanted to do a Marvel thing for a while now, but no idea ever really stuck. Then I wrote ten chapters of one over the course of 24 hours. Yeah, it's a thing. The first chapter is actually up. The fan fiction is called The Secrets We Hold. All the information for what is being posted and what is going on for things on here is in my profile so give it a look. Thank you all so much for reading and for being so patient with me. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and please leave a review!
