Mwahahaha, I've decided something! What? I'm not gonna tell you!


Matsuda

Light has finally got the majority of the files back onto the computer! So, now all I need to do is hack it. Wait. How do you hack computers anyway? I've never exactly tried before, but it can't be too difficult can it? I wait until everyone else has left to go to bed before I creep down to the computer room. I'll have to be careful of Light, though. He sometimes stays up all night working. He seemed really upset when Ryuzaki died... well, we all were. But he seemed especially upset. He can't be Kira! If he were Kira, he would have been ecstatic! How could Ryuzaki think he was Kira. Well... I've thought it a couple of times to be honest. But now I'm certain. He's definitely not Kira. I creep down the corridor. It is definitely not spooky here in the slightest, and I am definitely not scared. At least, until someone taps me on the back.

I yelp. It wasn't a scream. I don't scream. But I definitely made some kind of shocked noise. It's Mr Yagami.

"Matsuda, don't scream so loud. You'll wake people up," he whispers. I go red, but as it's dark he hopefully can't see it.

"That was not a scream," I whisper. "You just made me jump." Mr Yagami sighs.

"I'm just checking that Light isn't still up. He needs to rest. He's been staying up all night every night for weeks. Why are you up?"

"I needed the bathroom," I lie. Mr Yagami stares at me.

"Wait. Why are you still in your clothes?" Well... I knew I was probably gonna get caught. And... my pyjamas are kind of embarrassing. They have ducks on. And they're yellow. I like them, but people laugh at me...

"I have? Um... let's go look for Light." I follow Mr Yagami, cursing my bad luck. I really, really need to work on being sneaky. I mean, getting caught at this time?

"Light? What are you still doing up?" Sure enough, Light is still there, tapping away at the computer. He looks at his father, and is it my imagination or did he hide something under the piles of paper on the desk as we came in? And why is he holding a pen?

"Dad? Matsuda? I'm working. Not to be rude, but this bit is kind of complicated, so I need to be on my own to work it out." Mr Yagami steps forwards.

"Light. You can't keep this up. When was the last time you slept?" Light stares at him. Why is he reminding me of Ryuzaki...?

"I've got to do this. Kira has to be caught."

"Yes, but you need rest! You can't just keep going on and on with no sleep!" Light shakes his head.

"Yes I can. I need... to avenge Ryuzaki. I need to catch Kira." Looks like Elle's not the only one who wants revenge. Suddenly, I realise this is the perfect opportunity. If I can get Light and his dad out of here, the computer will be left unprotected! I put on a serious expression.

"Light, we all want Kira caught as soon as possible. But can't this wait till the morning? You need sleep. Even Ryuzaki slept sometimes." At least, I think he did. But then again... "You should at least take a refreshment break every so often. When was your last proper meal? I'm sure it won't affect this if you leave it for a couple of minutes..."

Light

Damn! I need to get them out of here! I was writing in the other death note when they came in. I managed to hide it, but Matsuda saw me do something. If I leave this room for even a second, it will all be over. He'll look; I know he will. And there's no way I could wiggle myself out of that one. So... how to get them out?

Matsuda

I continue talking to Light, but he clicks away at the computer, seemingly not even listening. I need to get him out! Suddenly, he yells, making me jump.

"Light! You'll wake people up!" He ignores me, clicking frantically at the computer. I peer at the screen. There is a timer on it, counting down from 2 minutes.

"What's that?" I ask.

"If I don't enter this password in 2 minutes, all the data I've retrieved will be deleted. Permanently. Not even I will be able to get it back if that happens. And I don't know the password. Ryuzaki sure was sneaky... please you two, get out. I need quiet..." We hastily leave the room. That's my opportunity tonight gone, but hopefully another time Mr Yagami will be able to persuade Light to sleep. Then I can try again.

Light

Too easy. All I had to do was bring up a timer and tell them all the data would be deleted if they didn't get out. Matsuda's an idiot, he believed me, and dad trusts my every word. So, now let's hide the death note properly. I pick it up and hide it in the drawer, before locking it, removing the key and placing it in my pocket. I know this is the only key there is for this drawer, so I should be safe. For now. That was too close.

Matsuda

I peek back into the room. Please, please please let Light be able to figure out the password! Please! Wait, what is he doing? He's hiding something in the drawer. And he's taken the key away. I suppose he's found the password already. God, that guy is clever. But he has something to hide! And I wanna know what it is! I begin to enter the room, but Mr Yagami grabs me.

"Matsuda! What are you doing? You heard Light! Do you want the data to get deleted?"

"But he's finished now!" I say indignantly. "Look!" Mr Yagami looks cautiously into the room. Light is tapping frantically away at the computer. He stares at me.

"Matsuda. I know you're interested in what's going on, but if you go in there and disturb Light you could ruin everything! Please think about these things."

"But I..." I can't think of anything to say. I swear Light was doing something! But, anyway. I guess I'm not going to achieve anything tonight.

"I'm going back to bed," I say, and walk off. I'll try again some other time.
