"Kira must have failed to kill him."
In honor of over a hundred reviews, I'll tell you what you missed.
The two biggest mysteries, in my opinion. Or at least the ones I like the best...
Part one is chapter seven's BIG clue.
Part two is a little fill-in for chapter ten.
"Kira must have failed to kill him…" Mello sat down, rubbing the toes of his shoes together.
L ignored the statement for the most part, due to the distraction of Matsuda dancing in. "What is it, Matsuda-san?"
However, later that night, L ran the line through his head. It did not stick right. Somehow, it was on the edge of his comprehension…
How could Kira kill Near with a car?
L had not discussed his theories with the rest of the task force on that matter. Kira could kill with means other than a heart attack. Mello admired L enough to tell him if he made that kind of breakthrough. So what was that about?
Mello had to be one of the Kiras. That was the only way he could know that Kira had other methods of killing him. Mello had said it to imply that he was not Kira, but the slip-up would be his undoing.
"Chief! Chief!" Matsuda skidded down the hall in his socks, blushing at his obviously unprofessional manner.
Predictably, he had gotten lost in the large building. The cheerful man hoped L wasn't watching the security monitors. He probably was a sight to behold, running around in such a disheveled state.
At last, another corridor opened up before Matsuda, but Yagami-san was shuffling a stack of papers and not paying attention to where he was going. Matsuda slammed into the older man in his haste.
The little slip of paper he had planned to slip to Souchiro fluttered to the floor.
Matsuda shook his head, and then scrambled among the pages of notebook paper. Oh, GREAT! Which one was it? The notebook paper seemed to be everywhere.
Finally, he uncovered a scrap different from the rest. "Hey… Hey, Chief! I have proof that Mello is second Kira!"
"Mello? Impossible…"
"Yeah? Well, why don't you ask his little shadow?" The young officer shoved the scrap of paper against the older man's arm. "When you see it, do not freak out. Trust me, you will want to."
Souchiro stood and brushed some invisible dirt off of his clothes. He walked away without a word.
A/N: I bet you'd never think it really WAS a scrap of Death Note, hahaha!!
Don't own Death Note. Thank you all for reading Kira Kira! My apologies for kicking a dead horse here, but I couldn't help myself.
Maybe I was inspired in part by reading Another Note for the third time? Best book ever. Read it. Now.
