"Eh?" Ryuk asked, "Really? A half Shinigami? That explains why your life didn't decrease by half when we made the pact. The eyes probably would have awoken in you at some point and the reason you still have them even though you passed the Death Note back to Light."

"What's that mean?" Light said, pretending to ask Aya the question.

"Since he gave up the Death Note the gift and his memories of it should have been erased as well but they weren't . "

"That's so cruel. " Aya huffed, "If I'd known that information before hand I wouldn't have wasted my time."

"Ah , but then you wouldn't have met me in person ." Light and even though the hood was up he saw Aya blush. "With your new abilities I think I have and idea."

"Yeah."

"I was thinking you should enter the investigation." Light sipped his drink. "Does L know about you?"

"He knows about A. Everyone does really . All the intelligence agencies do and all the police forces and military s do too but we've never worked together. I'm the best there is. "

"So it would be easy to gain access?"

"Sure, I guess." Aya replied, he leaned on his elbow his cheek on his fist and sipped his soda. "I think that could benefit our operation greatly indeed but they'll do a full background check on me and learn who my father is and wont trust me..."

"Wont they?" Light asked, "You've helped them out before you've helped to stop men like your father and you could always use the same stipulations as L about your identity . "

"Well, I guess that is true." He nodded, "Uhm...okay , I'll do it. "

"Good." Light sneered to himself. He drank his drink through the straw. "Don't worry, Aya, you and I can still hang out." He watched a smile flit across Aya's face as his cheeks went red. "It would get boring so fast with out you, Aya." Aya's cheeks went redder. "Could you do me a favor, Aya?"

"Of course, anything."

"Compile a list of the convicts in the worst prison in Russia for me. "

"Sure of course. " he nodded, "I'll have Ray give you a flash drive with the information tomorrow only enter it into the hand held though okay?"

"Thanks, Aya, you're the best." Light gave him a smile, "Would you like me to walk you home?"

"N-No that's okay, it's getting late and I need to make contact. "


It was three days later and Aya , or A, was sitting in L's hotel room he'd made sure to erase any and all data of himself from around the world so they hadn't been able to back ground check him. He was red cheeked again this time because he was sick. He coughed roughly in to his hand. Mich gritted his teeth he wasn't supposed to know who A really was so he couldn't take care of him and he was pissed to see him here. They hadn't talked about this. He was in black jeans, and a black hoodie with the hood up and sunglasses on.

"I'm A." he told them lowering his hood and tucking the sunglasses into his hoodie pocket. "I know I'm young but I probably smarter than everyone in this room combined. " He coughed harshly into his hand again. " You must be L."

He couldn't believe it he could see L's name and how long he had to live. He couldn't wait to tell Light then thought better of it. If he told Light then Light probably wouldn't want to see him...no! ...hang out with him anymore.

Light's father tried to shake his hand.

"I don't like being touched. "

Mich hid his surprise . Aya didn't mind being hugged or bumped into or being touched then he smirked to himself so A was a different personality then. He could separate the two or at least he hoped he could. But seeing A sitting there coughing really made him want to go into full big brother mode.

"If you were sick, why did you come?" L asked.

"I get sick a lot." A scoffed, "It's one of reasons no one has ever met me before. "

"I see."

"Besides Kira should be all of main focus right now. " he really needed to add that time to his life. "I've already hacked all your files upon entering this room. " He pulled out a handheld different from Light's so Light's dad didn't make the connect and began tapping on it. "So I'm all caught up on the profile and case. "

"Light ask Ryuk how much time I have left. Please I need to know if I will need to write a name soon."

"Really soon.' Light replied, 'Ryuk says you only have a matter of hours left. '

A didn't react to the information that he only had a few hours to live.

"You seem to be in extremely poor health. " L pointed out "Maybe you should return home and rest ..."

"This is important." A scoffed. He'd taken a page out of Light's book, not literally, and had started carrying a scarp of paper from his book everywhere. He carried his book everywhere he just couldn't pull it out all the time. He slipped it on to the screen of his handheld thankful he'd picked a pen up off the table to work his handheld instead of his stylist . He quickly wrote down a member of the Yakuza that hed seen just that morning the man would live until he was 90 and was currently 88 his birthday was in two days. It was the best he could do right now and it might not even be linked to Kira. The best he could do because his father was really tight lipped about who worked for him and Aya needed to get close to the man's laptop or another's in order to hack it. He began feeling better almost instantly he discreetly tucked the paper away noting that no one had noticed. "This is more important than my health at the moment. I am here to help catch Kira because he is killing here in Japan."

"I would have never thought that was Japanese." L said, eating a piece of cherry cheesecake. His eyes were now locked on the young boy. "Or so young. Or male. I could have sworn A was female."

"It's the voice." A said, "Light Yagami was fooled by it as well. "

"You know my son?"

"Of course I do." A laughed, "The two of us have been working this case together on our own for some time now. " He and Light had agreed on how much to let slip out. "He doesn't know who I really am though or what I look like. We use these." He showed them his handheld. "I gave one to Light ages ago. We have met in public but I've kept my glasses on and my hood up. "

"I see. "
