(Ls pov)

I was sitting in my bedroom of the hotel room, staring at my computer. I was going over today's reports, and noticed some inconsistencies in the killings.

(Flashback to 3 days ago)

Karin and I were sitting in the living room, staring at our computers. My computer was connected to Watari who was sitting in the meeting that was about to begin in the task force headquarters. Karin was preparing to type up all of the information for us to go through later.

The meeting began with the tip line, which I figured wouldn't be very relevant to the actual investigation. Prank calls, people claiming to know Kira or are Kira, but with no proof.

*As if Kira would call the police and announce himself to them.* I thought to myself.

Next they started talking about the heart attack victims. Karin and I glanced at each other, her fingers over the keyboard, ready to speed type.

They had confirmed that all of the heart attacks victims had been made public in Japan prior to their deaths. Just further proof of what we had already confirmed.

"Also, concerning L's request that we investigate the time of death of each victim, we found that all of them occurred between the hours of 4 p.m. and 2 a.m. on week days local time with 68% of them occurring between 8 p.m. and12 a.m. Weekends and holidays appeared to be the exception to this rule as the times of deaths vary much more widely than during the week." The man giving the report stated. I turned on my microphone.

"That information is extremely relevant for us. It suggests that, given the times of death, our suspect could very well be a student. Based on the fact that Kira is only killing criminals, I think it's safe to assume that he is driven by a very idealistic notion of justice. It's highly possible he may even aspire to be some sort of godlike figure.

We're dealing with the individual who has a very childish concept of right and wrong. Of course, this is mere speculation at this point, but still I recommend you reexamine any assumptions you've made as to whether or not our suspect could be a student. We must consider every possibility if we want to catch Kira. Please continue with your report." I told them.

At the end of the meeting I asked the investigators to check out each of the victims and see how their crimes were made public, especially if photos of the victims were used.

(End flashback)

Once we began suspecting that Kira was a student, the victims began dying at different times, as if saying that he isn't a student.

I stood up, walking to Karins room. Her door was open, and I saw her sitting over her computer.

"Have you seen the victim reports from the last 2 days?" I asked. She looked up and nodded. "Any thoughts?"

"Yeah. It makes me wonder if he is able to control when the victims die." She replied. Her answer took me by surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I have been thinking about our conversation after the confrontation. When I mentioned limitations? We know that Kira needs a face and a name, and we know that he can cause people to die of heart attacks. So if he can use heart attacks as a killing method, who is to say that he can't make a person die at a specific time?"

"How did you come up with that?" I asked. Karin was usually very good at thinking things through. She wouldn't say things like this unless she believed that it was at least possible.

"Well, this isn't a normal killing spree is it? After all, how many murderers can kill using a normal health condition, rather than something that leaves physical evidence like a gun or knife?

"For this case I think we have to go outside of the normal realm of possibility. So if Kira can kill using something that isn't naturally controllable; since you can't force yourself to have or not to have a heart attack, who is to say that he can't control the time of death, or do other things to or with his victims?

"I just want to know how Kira found out that we suspect him of being a student."

"Yes. I wondered that too. As soon as we said that he was a student, he changed the times his victims died, but I don't think it was to point away from the fact that he is a student." I mumbled.

"Hes mocking you. Hes saying 'You may know that I am a student, but there isn't anything you can do about it.' I believe that this is also a clue for us. A vital one. First of all he has to be close to the investigation, either in the investigation himself, or is close to someone who is. Secondly, is that this is a more supernatural method, and one that he may have recently acquired. Which tells me that this is not the work of a shinobi."

"Why do you say that?"

"It is true that ninja can kill and make it look like an accident or natural cause. However to do so without physical evidence would be quite difficult. Especially considering that we had seen him kill without being physically near the victim. Using chakra to kill would mean having contact with the person. Also depending on the attack itself it will leave evidence. A burn, or even just a little red dot where your chakra entered their body.

"Poison is out for obvious reasons too. So no, I don't believe its ninja work. I won't say that its impossible, due to the fact that there are so many different types of jutsu a person could use, depending on charka type, chakra level, where you live, who your family is and such, it would be next to impossible to know every type of jutsu."

"I need more clues before I can begin to determine who and how." She finished, as she shut her computer off and moved to her bed, taking up what I knew was a meditative position.

I decided to leave her to her meditation, thoughts of how to find Kira going through my mind.

(Karins pov)

There was so much about the case that was annoying me. I really wanted to figure out how Kira was able to kill his victims. Not only to find him, but to prevent him from killing anyone else. Especially L and Watari.

I decided to use meditation to figure out how to protect them from the dangers of this case. I wanted to give them the protections, but what should I use and how do I give it to them without them knowing?

I suddenly had the answer. It was so obvious.

I stood up, gathering everything that I needed, A pendant with the letter W on it for Watari, and my family ring, on a silver chain for L. I embedded both necklaces with chakra, before connecting each to something that the intended recipient would need to touch for more than a minute. For Watari I chose his glasses, the fact that they sit on his face was enough contact to work. For L I chose his favorite coffee mug that I was to get after in finished in here.

I grabbed a kunai knife from my pack and made a a small cut on both my hands, coating my blood on both the W, and the ring. I set both on blood seals that I had prepared in England, and began doing the handsigns I had practiced over both items, watching as they glowed red and the blood seeped into the items.

I watched in amazement as the W pendant vanished and I felt a link appear in my subconscious. I could now sense Watari.

I stood up and went into the kitchen, seeing Watari preparing the coffee.

"I can take Ls cup out for you Watari."I told him, peeking from behind my bangs. There was nothing out of the ordinary but I saw a very faint glow of the pendant for a brief moment before it vanished. He smiled and thanked me.

I took Ls coffee and sugar cubes to him and smiled in satisfaction when I felt the link between me and L form and sensed the same short burst of glowing energy from him. I silently let out a sigh.

Kira better watch out, because L would not be as easy for him to beat as he may think.
