A week later. The breaking news came. Kira has returned.
Since Matsuda had become the head of the Japanese police force, everyone except Aizawa agreed that it had become much more fun. It had only been six days and they were having their third party. Matsuda proved to be more intelligent than he looked. He managed to get away with doing nothing but partying by making sure that all of the guests were Yakuza members and arresting them once the party was over. It was during one of these parties, when all the guests died that they realised Kira was back.
"Contact L immediately" Matsuda shouted.
"You do it. You're in charge" said Aizawa, who had been sulking in a corner for the last six days.
"Right" Matsuda said, taking out his cell phone and calling the number he had been given to contact Watari. The phone rang for nearly a minute before being answered by a sleepy Watari.
"L, its three thirty in the morning." Watari said.
"This isn't L, Matsuda here, we need to meet L right away" Matsuda said, in his usual excited voice.
"I'm afraid that's not possible" Watari replied.
"Watari this is urgent, Kira is back!"
"Hmm, I guess I must tell you then. Actually L has retired. The successor he has chosen is a real mean guy. The first thing he did was fire me" Watari said.
"Ok, I'm going to the HQ now" Matsuda said, jumping off the balcony and landing in a dumpster, which cushioned his fall.
"Oh Melly, you make all my dreams come true" Matt said, pulling his trousers on.
The doorbell rang.
"Oh, who could possibly visit us out here? Not that damn Near kid for sure." Mello said, giggling "Matt Dear, please do get that. I'm not wearing any clothes see." Five minutes later matt returned.
"Mello, you better get some clothes on, this seems pretty important." Matt said.
"Ok Matt." Mello said.
"Well Ryuk, looks like I win again" Light said, holding the grey Nintendo 64 controller up in triumph.
"Hey Light, there's something I've been meaning to ask you" Ryuk said, dropping his yellow controller to the ground.
"What is it Ryuk"
"Why is her name Princess Peach and not Princess Apple"
"Well Ryuk, that's just how it is. Not everyone prefers apples"
"Light. Your friends have come to visit." Light's mum called up from the hallway.
"Friends? Ryuk, you are my only friend you know" Light muttered on the way out of his room.
Matt and Mello stood waiting outside the door.
"I've heard that you met old L once. Well I'm the new L" Mello said, munching on a bar of chocolate. "We need you to come and investigate with us. You are a suspect so you have no choice."
"Investigate what?" Light said
"Haven't you heard? Kira is back." Mello said.
Near sat alone on the plane. He had managed to persuade Roger to organise some flights for him, but he still had to overcome his fear of travelling on his own. When he had heard that Kira was back, he decided he couldn't bear to let Mello win. And so, he would be heading to Japan soon, but first he was on his way to California. There, he was to head to a prison, were he would meet the famous killer, Beyond Birthday.
