The last chapter...*sigh*

---

Dachi and Matsuda sat on a bench, watching the children play throughout the playground area of the orphanage. A small sigh escaped Dachi's lips as they waited for Roger to come outside and meet with them. It had been a week since the day Dachi was planned to die. He was still breathing, but fighting with his morals on the inside.

He had decided to come to England with Christian and Sato to not only help them adjust to the orphanage, but also to hopefully meet the next L that was in line. Dachi needed to speak with him. He needed his help in deciding whether or not he should continue on this hunt.

Dachi's deep thought was quickly interrupted as he heard Christian giggle at the sound of two younger children pull Sato to the ground; landing in the large sandbox. Sato grunted as he hit the sand and covered his face as the kid's began to push sand mounds against Sato's body.

Dachi felt a small tap on his shoulder as he turned his head quickly and stared at Roger with a soft smile. "Roger." Dachi said in happiness as he quickly stood up and leaned over the bench to hug Roger. A gruff laugh escaped the old man as he held Dachi to the best of his abilities.

"It's good to see you face to face again, Dai-kun." Roger spoke sincerely, feeling joy to be near the man he often called as 'son'. Dachi let go of Roger and smiled as Matsuda stood up and stayed at Dachi's side. "It's good to see you again too."

"Well, would you like to meet him?" Asked Roger as Dachi nodded his head in response. "There's something I never told you Dachi...I noticed it when Sato was getting older, but I thought-" Roger was cut off at what he was saying as Sato ran up to them and came to a stop as giggling children tugged on his arms. Christian made his way over, walking stick in hand a small smile still on his face. The laughter of the children forced him to smile.

Roger cleared his throat and decided not to continue. "Never mind, Dachi." Said Roger as he smiled at the group and replied, "Well, why don't I take you to see him?"

Dachi and Matsuda nodded their heads toward Roger, small smiles on their faces. Sato smiled and kneeled down so that he was eye level with the children around him, "Okay, guys; me and Christian will be back later to play with you guys, okay?" He asked. The children whined and grudgingly released Sato, who patted them on their heads softly.

Christian felt a small tug on the end of his shirt and smiled softly, already knowing who it was. As Sato waved off the other children, Christian kneeled down and faced the direction of where the young girl was and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Aimi," he said softly to the four-year-old. He could already picture her slightly curly black hair and green eyes that Sato had explained to him. Her round face holding a small pout. Aimi had instantly attached herself to Christian when he arrived and loved to be around him. "I'll be back, why don't you go play?"

"You promise you'll be back?" She asked softly, sadly, and Christian couldn't help but let his smile widen, "Promise." He said as he held out his pinky, and Aimi wrapped hers around Christian's "sealing" the promise. Aimi giggled before backing up a few steps and Christian stood once again. "Okay! See you later, Christian!" She said before running back to the other children to play.

Christian let out a soft chuckle as he turned to face Roger when he spoke once again, "Alright, then, let's go." Sato smiled and laced his fingers with Christian's, helping him out a little as they started walking toward their destination.

Roger brought the men into the main house. The group passed by rooms that were mostly empty; the children taking advantage of the beautiful day. They were led up a flight of stairs and through a few more hallways; they remained silent mostly, thoughts running throughout everyone's minds. Suddenly, Roger stopped outside of a quaint looking door and placed a hand on the knob. "We're here," He said with a smile.

Roger opened the door and the group filed in one after another; wanting to catch sight of this new L.

"This boy showed up when he was twelve...About five years after you had adopted Sato, Dachi." Said Roger, as if the timeline was important.

A young man sat in the middle of the room, a white piece of fabric wrapped around his eyes, concealing them from the world. His black hair fell to the floor as he was wrapped in a silk white robe. The boy was pale with what the others could see of his skin. Dachi stared at the man's pink lips in question; there was something oddly familiar about them.

"What's with the blindfold?" Sato asked in a low whisper as he looked over at Roger.

"Jin-Ae is one of the few children we have here that are actually...truthfully gifted. The boy was born with the gift to see into people. Over time he discovered that if he touched a person, he could see hidden memories and past events that would reveal a person's character. And if he looks into their eyes...He sees all of their sins. Every evil thing that person has ever done. So, naturally, Jin-Ae conceals his eyes. He prefers good over evil." Said Roger as the group closed in on the young man.

"I know how he feels." Whispered Christian.

Dachi noticed that the man's facial features were smooth and reminded him of someone, but without the view of his eyes, it just wouldn't come to Dachi. "I'm glad you all came." Said Jin-Ae as he smiled up towards the group. His voice was kind as Christian's face wrinkled a bit, noticing something in the man's voice. It was more innocent sounding, but there was something about the voice. It was familiar.

"I hope we can all work together to catch Kira." Said Jin-Ae as Dachi cleared his throat and replied, "Uhh, about that. I've been thinking...and...I don't want to lose what I have."

Jin-Ae nodded his head as his smile still remained soft towards the others. "I figured as much. Well...Then all I ask is that you all let me touch you. I might be able to pick up on something to get a lead on Light and understand him a bit more."

The group nodded as Dachi replied, "All right. Sounds fair enough."

"I've studied the other Death Note. The one Near had hidden here...I was able to see memories from the Death Note, getting a good understanding of Light's thought process and Misa's...Well, lack of thought." Jin-Ae giggled at his comment as Dachi looked at Roger in shock.

"What Death Note?"

"I couldn't say anything Dachi, but there were originally two Death Notes. One hidden at the base Near was at, which is the one Light has now. And the other originally belonged to a girl Jin-Ae refers to as Misa Misa. We kept the Death Notes separate...Just in case." Said Roger at Dachi stood there in shock. Even Roger had kept secrets from him.

"So...Am I completely on my own while hunting down Light?" Asked Jin-Ae as no one spoke up. Matsuda replied softly, "It's hard right now...We all have been through a lot. Most of us could be dead right now if things didn't turn out the way they had."

Jin-Ae nodded his head and replied, "Very well, maybe the new helpers might be able to give me a hand. After all...You two have seen Light" Jin-Ae was referring to both Christian and Sato. Knowing that they would be working at the orphanage from now on.

"I can't...I'm sorry." Whispered Sato as Jin-Ae cocked his head and extended his hands outward, aimed in the direction of Sato, motioning him to come forward. Roger placed a hand over his mouth, holding his breath as if something was coming. Dachi noticed Roger's reaction and watched as Sato walked up to Jin-Ae and slowly sat in front of him as Jin-Ae signaled for him to rest on the ground.

"May I touch you?" Asked Jin-Ae as Sato was hesitant for a moment before nodding his head, "I guess..."

Jin-Ae placed both his hands on the back of Sato's hand, receiving one vision after another of Sato's childhood until he saw the image of Dachi adopting Sato. The boy was so young and yet, there was something about that boy that made Jin-Ae question the man in front of him.

He lifted his hands off of Sato's and brought them upward. "I need to see more." Said Jin-Ae as he placed his hands on Sato's cheeks. A memory passed quickly through Jin-Ae's eyes. Jin-Ae quickly released his touch from Sato as he panted in shock. "You...You were adopted by Dachi. He isn't your real father." Jin-Ae spoke in a shaky voice.

The group was confused as Roger closed his eyes and Sato responded, "Yeah...So?"

Jin-Ae's hands were shaking as he brought them back up and placed them at each side of Sato's head as he leaned forward. "I need to see more." Whispered Jin-Ae as he placed a soft kiss on Sato's lips, taking in the repressed memories that rushed by.

Matsuda looked over at Christian in slight shock, somewhat happy that he couldn't see what was happening. Jin-Ae gasped as he pushed Sato down on his back, Jin-Ae, hovering just above him. Black hair surrounded Sato's face, clashing with his own short locks as he looked up at Jin-Ae in fear. The man was breathing frantically.

"You were left at the doorstep of this orphanage when you were only an infant. Your mother abandoned you, never giving you a name or a single memory, except her abandonment." Said Jin-Ae as the room fell silent. Sato looked up at Jin-Ae in shock as he asked, "H-How..."

"What you didn't remember...Was that there was someone else there when she left you." Whispered Jin-Ae as he used one hand to untie the blindfold off of his face. The white fabric fell unto Sato's neck as a shocked and confused look rested on Sato's face.

Dachi leaned forward, looking closely at the man before raising to his height and letting out a loud gasp. Matsuda noticed the chocolate color in Jin-Ae's eyes. "What happened?" Asked Christian, feeling lost on what was going on.

Roger decided to break the silence, "They're identical twins. It seems the mother abandoned Sato and attempted to care for Jin-Ae, but eventually Jin-Ae was lead here." Christian let out a small gasp at what Roger had said.

"Dachi, you may want to rethink staying here for a while. If Jin-Ae possess such a powerful gift...Then just imagine what may lay dormant inside Sato." Said Roger as Jin-Ae caressed Sato's lips delicately, analyzing his identical with care.

"I always wondered if I'd see my brother again." Whispered Jin-Ae as Sato couldn't speak, still in utter shock. The new L was in fact Sato's identical twin...and he intended to go after Light while holding such a dangerous gift. Even though all this information was flooding through Sato's mind, one thing scared him the most.

If Jin-Ae went after Light and he caught sight of Jin-Ae's face, thinking it was Sato. Their faces were the same and he would assume it was Sato that was hunting him. Sato's fear increased as he realized Light would not hesitate in writing Sato's name, thinking he was the one hunting him.

If Jin-Ae went after Light, Sato would surely die.
