Scout lay on her bed, only half-listwning to Ryuk whine about his with drawal symptoms. She turned

over onto her side.

"Ryuk, shut the hell up...I'm trying to think...."

"Scout, you-"

"I have an idea...Maybe I could say I'm going to go visit my cousin, Jamie who lives in San Francisco..."

"Jamie...isn't she the one who's emancipated?" Ryuk asked.

"Yeah, but she has room mates," Scout said, "mostly guys. I can't imagine what their bathroom looks

like..."

Ryuk shrugged, "Sounds good to me, so, how you gonna ask your mom?"

"Um...I could tell her I wantto visit her because...I havn't seen her in a while and I miss her."

"That's lame."

"Do you ever want to see your apples again?" Scout asked. Ryuk twitched

"On the other hand, I like that idea, it's brilliant. You're a genious!"

"Don't be a brown nose..."

Matsuda yawned as he watched one of the tapes the others had sent him through the computer in a file.

His eyelids drooped as he tried to focus on his task. Sayu came into his study, a blanket over her shoulder.

"Touta, you should get some rest, it's 3:00 A.M..."

Matsuda turned and looked at her sleepily, "I know...I'll come to bed soon, after I'm done with this tape...."

Sayu walked over to him and erapped the blanket around him, "Here, love..."

Matsuda reached up and stroked her face gently,"Thanks Sayu...What would I do without you?"

"Work yourself to death," his wife said leaning down and placing a kiss on his lips. The sound of a baby crying

reached her ears.

"I know that cry. Makoto's hungry. How much longer are you going to be, Touta?"

"Just a few more minutes I think," Matsuda said, "I should be done by the time your done nursing Makoto."

Sayu nodded and headed for the nusery, unbuttoning her blouse, "Mommy's comming, Maki," she said, using

her pet name for their daughter.

Matsuda turned back to the video, It was one of Aizawa's, following Johnathon Morgue. He'd just come out of a

theatre with some freind.

"Heh, that was cool," Johnny said, "New moon rocked. What'd you think, David?"

"Meh...it was more like a chick flick..."

"You kidding? that movie was Kick ass and you know it."

David rolled his eyes, "Whatever...The fighting scenes were pretty cool, I guess."

"You've got no taste in movies."

"Hey, I'm just saying, the book was better. But they did a good job with the movie...It's better than the first one."

"Definitely" Johnny nodded in agreement.

000000ooooo000000

Just normal teenage stuff... Matsuda thought to himself as the boys eventualy spilt up and Johnny turned a corner.

Suddenly, Matsuda spotted something.

"What was that?" he asked no one, rewinding the footage. As soon as Johnny turned the corner, he tilted his head

up to one side, looking up. His lips moved, though Matsuda couldn't catch what he said. He zoomed in on his face and

cleared up the image. He played the video again, trying to read his lips. He still couldn't make out what he was saying.

"Still, that's important!" he said, "He could've been talking to a Shinigami! I have to call Aizawa right away!"

Sorry for shortness, but I'm busy today!
