A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the uber-late chapter. (which you all weren't expecting, I bet.) I was thinking of making another chapter for this story, but I just coudn't get ideas during school! Luckily, we Filipinos are having a break from school.
Don't forget to read my other DN story. :)) /shot for advertising
Last words: I-It's titled... The Three Greatest Detectives... /shot
(Second chapter as requested by Nian-chan)
After that day, everyone made it a habit to play 'Killer'. L approved, claiming that the game would help improve their strategic thinking. So far, everyone has been able to play each position; with only a few not getting Killer and Joker.
It has been another of those unproductive days, with no trace of Kira. The three top successors of L were in the headquarters again; helping L in the investigation.
"Hey, let's play Killer!" Matsuda suggested, suddenly remembering about that fun game as he was about to click on the button leading to Pinball.
"Sure. Then, if I get the judge, I could get that rematch I always wanted." Light smirked.
L paused for a while, then transferred to another swivel chair to get closer to them. "I'm not sure if we have the time to play games. We need to catch Kira soon."
"Well," Light sighed. "We haven't exactly found anything useful." He commented from his seat.
"I have dibs on Joker." Mello called out.
"Good luck with that." Matt rolled his eyes at the blond.
"Well, that is true." L said, responding to Light. "Maybe we can have one round."
"Yay! I'll prepare the game!" Matsuda cried gleefully.
Aizawa remained silent. Today was the only time they played Killer so early; Aizawa always went home at 4:00 p.m. So this was the first time he would play it.
Near sensed this and began to explain. "Killer is a game for atleast seven players that we usually play when we couldn't find anything that will help us in the case; we always play it at around 5:00."
Mello snarled. "We knew that, idiot."
"Aizawa didn't."
"It's the first time I heard of this game." The man with the afro said with a shrug.
"Well then, Aizawa, here are the rules, according to Matsuda." Near said, offering him the sheet of paper that had the rules written down.
Positions:
1. KILLER - kills people by winking at the person he would like to kill.
If he winks at the judge, the judge says 'I am the judge; I am dead.'
If he winks at the police, the police says 'I caught you.'
If he winks at anyone else, the person says 'I am dead.'
2. DOCTOR - heals dead people by winking at the dead person twice.
3. POLICE - looks for the Killer, and catches him.
4. JUDGE - Once the Killer is discovered, the judge gives the punishment. (even if the judge died.)
5. JOKER - Kills people the same way as the killer. However when the dead person says 'I'm dead.', the joker replies with 'Just joking.', and the person stays alive.
6. NURSE - Replacement of the doctor. If the doctor dies, the nurse will be the one to heal. This role can be removed if there are only five players. The other role to be removed will be the by-stander.
7. BY-STANDER/PERSON - Has no significance in this game. Dies, gets healed by doctor, dies, healed by doctor, and it goes on and on until the game is over. This role can be excluded if there are only six players.
Ways to end the game:
1. Police catches Killer; Killer gets punishment.
2. Killer kills Judge.
Aizawa nodded as he finished reading it. "I see."
"Yeah, well, are you going to join or not?" Mello rudely cut in.
"It's already late for me. Maybe some other time." He said, pulling on his coat as he prepared to go outside, where it started drizzling. "I'll be going now." He curtly nodded his head.
The rest did the same. "Bye, Aizawa!" Matsuda called out, waving.
Said man turned around and gave him a look that said You-better-behave-while-I'm-gone. We wouldn't want L to have a headache right? Or rather... Light.
"Oh well." L said, swallowing a teaspoonful of vanilla-flavored ice cream. "I suppose there will only be six players?"
"Where's Misa?" Matsuda asked Light as he brought the folded strips of paper that contained the positions.
Light grimaced at the thought of the possessive blonde. "Probably in some photoshoot."
"Wait- can we play with only six players?" Mello interjected.
L chewed on a gummy bear. "We'll just remove the by-stander."
"Fine with me. That role's boring." He said, snapping a bar of chocolate in two.
"Matsuda, remove the by-stander strip." The greatest detective in the world commanded him.
"I'm on it!" He replied cheerfully and proceeded to open each strip of paper, checking which had which role. When he finally found the by-stander's strip of paper, he tossed it into the trash and then put the strips of paper in his hands and shook his hands, scrambling it.
"Get one and pass, everyone~!" Matsuda said after he picked one. Then he passed it to L at his far right, who passed it to Mello. The pile went around in some kind of circle until the last strip was picked up by Matt.
"Okay, now that everyone knows their role, please put back the strips of paper on the table. Fold it properly!" He reminded them.
The strips of paper were then all gathered at the table, and the game was now able to begin.
"On my count..." L said. He paused. Matt took of his goggles. Near twirled a part of his hair around his finger. L ate a few marshmallows, and said, "Go."
At once, eyes darted around, some trying to catch the Killer, one person trying to catch eyes and kill them, others just waiting.
Suddenly, Mello saw Matt lean to his right and wink at Matsuda. He looks so cute when he winks like that. Mello mentally slapped himself.
Matsuda quickly averted his eyes. "I'm dead." He blurted out, and looked at L. Two pairs of eyes looked at Matsuda, and then looked at L.
"What?" L glared.
"Just kidding." Matt chuckled.
And now, everyone knows what Matt's role is. And Matsuda is back in the game.
"Oh no, Mattie, you're not fooling me." Mello smirked as the joker tried (and failed) to fool someone.
"Guess I'm not fooling anyone anymore." He rolled his eyes.
Light interrupted their little chat. "I caught you."
Mello and Matt looked at Light's eyes, and then at the direction he was looking at. "Near?" They chorused.
L showed a rare smile. "So it seems."
"Well, who's the judge?" L asked.
Mello smirked. "I am." He declared, laughing creepily.
"Don't go too harsh on him, Mel." Matt laughed.
"I want you to-"
"Make sure it isn't violent or anything M-rated. Remember, Charmflight107 rated this story K." Matsuda shook his finger.
"I was just going to tell him to buy me Hersheys." Mello glared at them.
"That's easy." Near shrugged and went to the elevator to go to the nearest convenience store.
"Well... Let's get back to work. Make sure we find something. Kira could have been writing names while we played." L went back to his own swivel chair and sucked on a lollipop.
Everyone sighed and followed.
