Author's note- I told you all I would update the story almost immediately!! Although I kinda rushed when I typed up the last chapter so I forgot to put in the name of the chapter in the beginning (which was 'Special Eyes' btw). I won't forget this time and I hope you all enjoy!!

Revelations

L was speechless. His eyes had grown to their widest extent. He had an actual look of terror on his face. Beyond Birthday, cold-blooded murderer and mastermind of the L.A.B.B murder cases, knew his name. And he only knew it because of these…Shinigami eyes??

"N-No. That's impossible. There's no way you could've…how did you know??"

Beyond couldn't have asked for a better expression from the detective. He leaned back on his heels and stood a little straighter, making himself a couple inches taller than L

"I already told you. I have Shinigami eyes. Not only can I see your name, but I also know when you're going to die."

L's face had finally reverted back to his normal blank expression, but he still couldn't believe it. Beyond knew his name. Just by looking at him. It seemed like everything he'd been taught and everything he grew up believing was proven wrong in a matter of seconds.

"And how exactly did you come across this power?" L's voice nearly cracked his throat was so dry.

"I don't really know. I think I was born with them. I've been able to see names and death dates for as long as I can remember. That's why I was so accepting of my parent's death, that's how I picked my victims for my murders and that's how I knew your name. Anymore questions?"

L was now in deep thought. Could he use Beyond's eyes as a weapon against Kira? It would surely help with the investigation…

"These eyes of your…can you see when someone is about to have a Kira related heart attack?"

At this point, Beyond had sat down and was now busy putting sugar cubes into his tea.

"As 'unnatural' as these specific heart attacks are, I was able to predict when Ukita was going to die. So, I guess the answer is yes."

L paused in his thinking. Beyond had known Ukita was going to die? And he didn't tell them?!"

'No, I'll confront him about it later. Right now, I want to gather all the info I can about these eyes.'

He put this annoyance in the back of his mind and continued thinking of the matter at hand.

"Then this might work to our advantage. If we can find these people and warn them before Kira-"

"You can't save them." Beyond had said that in such a nonchalant tone that it almost sent shivers down L's spine.

"And why not?"

"Because once the numbers reach zero, they're dead. It's almost like a countdown." He looked above L's head once more. "Your numbers aren't extremely high either…" He mumbled the last sentence.

"Beyond…when am I going to die?" Well that was a subtle way to change the topic, as Beyond nearly choked on the tea he was sipping.

"ACK!! What?? Why should I tell you when your going to die?!"

"It would help me determine how fast I need to solve this case."

Beyond wiped the spilled tea up and looked back towards L.

"Tell you what. If you can tell me when I'm going to die, then I'll tell you when you're going to die."

"You know I can't do that Beyond."

"Then I guess we're both out of luck." A few moments of silence followed before L spoke again.

"…You can't see your own lifespan?"

"Nope. I can't see Light's either."

HAHAHA!!! Another cliffhanger!!! If you haven't noticed, I'm now trying to incorporate the episodes with the story. Last week was Light's trip to Aoyama and where he finally met Misa so, I'll put those things in with the next chapter. Until then, review and enjoy!!
