(Karins pov)

Things have been tense here at the suite.

First, we arrested Misa Amane under suspicion of the 2nd Kira. Using my demon eyes I was able to confirm, to Ryuzaki, that she had a shinigami, at least for a while.

After she started begging for death the shinigami left and the cord connecting her with the shinigami vanished.

I whispered silently to Ryuzaki, because he didn't want the task force, Light in particular, to know of my unique abilities. Not just my ninja abilities and sharingan, but also my demon eyes that allowed me to see death gods.

Not long after Misa was arrested Light demanded to be in confinement too, because he claimed that he didn't know if he could be Kira.

Chief Yagami decided to be confined as well, out of his feelings for his son. Ryuzaki agreed, as long as he had his cell phone on to be given updates, and that he continues to contact his family and the outside world as normal.

Light eventually loses his shinigami connection as well, which I told my companion as soon as it happened, before letting my demon chakra to recede from my eyes

After 50 days of Lights confinement, we decided to pull a stunt to see if either suspect was still Kira.

Chief Yagami was told to get them and tell them that they were to be executed, but to drive to a secluded location, and claim that he was going to kill Light himself. If either of them were Kira then Chief Yagami would be dead before he would of had the chance to use the unloaded gun.

Needless to say, nobody died, so nobody in the car was Kira.

Then we moved into the new HQ building L had built so that we wouldn't have to continue changing hotel rooms every few days.

Since there were surveillance cameras in every part of the building, I knew that there was no place here for me to train.

So I would leave for a few hours every other day to go to my secret location to train.

After a couple of months of living in the new HQ, Ryuzaki has become pretty depressed, and Light figured out that Kira was killing off businessmen whose deaths would benefit a local company called Yosuba.

Things got a bit harder for the rest of the poice officers with us as Mr. Yagami told us that Kira told Deputy Director Kitamura that if the police continued to pursue him, that he would start killing politicians. The NPA caved. If they wanted to continue, they would have to resign from the police force.

Ryuzaki and I had suspected that this could possibly happen, that these men may lose their jobs or their lives, so we decided to set up a fund that would take care of the families of the men helping us. We set it up shortly after the first meeting with the task force.

Aizawa left, and then we introduced Aiber and Wedy to the group. Aiber is a conman Ryuzaki called in for infiltration missions. Wedy is a thief with a knack for getting past any security system without detection. We had used both on previous cases.

Later that evening we were discussing the possibility that Kira was connected to the Yosuba company. Matsuda was out with Misa playing her manager.

We were discussing a plan for Aiber and Wedy and I to infiltrate the Yosuba building, but Matsuda beat us to it, and got himself caught.

We were eventually able to figure out who Kira was, and we made plans for his arrest which began with Matsuda going to Sakura tv to reveal the identity of the current Kira.

This caused Kira, a Yousba employee named Higuchi, to panic. He wanted to kill Matsuda before he revealed him, and he would go to any lengths to do so.

He fell right into our trap, going right to the place we had planned to capture him. We caught him, confiscated the death note, and saw Rem, the shinigami that was originally with Misa.

But before we could get him to the car to finish the arrest, he died instantly of a heart attack.

I was the only one to notice that Light had the notebook.

A few days after we retrieved the death note, Light and Misa were taken off of surveillance, after everyone but Ryuzaki and I decided that they were cleared.

I knew that the last 2 rules had to be fake. The rules were basically about how the user of a death note would die if they did not write a name at least once every 13 days. The other stated that if the notebook was destroyed everyone that had touched it would die.

I knew that Light and Misa were the original Kiras because I could see the shinigamis that had been attached to them up until they had been in confinement for a while. So L and I knew that the 13 day rule was fake. The other rule I suspected was a safety measure put in place by Light. If we thought we would die if we destroyed the notebooks, no body would want to do anything that could destroy them. I told L my thoughts on the rules and he agreed with me.

I also had the feeling that things were going to change soon. For better or worse.

I had made plans for the worst case scenario, plans that nobody, not even Watari and L knew about. I felt bad for doing things behind their backs, but it had to be done this way.

I just hope that my secret preparations would not be needed.

(The next day...still Karins pov)

It was very early in the morning as I watched the rain falling outside of my window. A morbid day for this morbid feeling I had. I made a 5 shadow clones, knowing that my feed was currently off. The only one who would be awake right now is Ryuzaki.

I sent my clones out, each one knowing its job. I had to tread cautiously in order to do what needed done without anyone realizing.

I went about the day as normal, keeping an extra close eye on my secret love. I had the feeling that he knew what was going to happen today.

We were discussing Ryuzakis decision to test the notebook out, using a criminal that was going to be executed in a little over 13 days. If they are still alive 13 days after, the criminal would be pardoned.

Suddenly, all of the lights turned red, and the emergency bells were going off, and I knew what was happening as I had felt a slight pulse over my connection to Watari..

"What is this!? A blackout!?" Matsuda asked

"Watari?" Ryuzaki asked quietly.

My heart pounding in my chest I watched as all of the data we collected on the Kira case. I was able to sense the moment my first 2 clones got to work.

"Watari!" Ryuzaki called out, louder, knowing that he wouldn't answer.

"Data deletion?! What the hell is going on?!" Aizawa demanded.

"I told Watari to make sure that he should erase all information in the event that something were to happen to him." Ryuzaki replied quietly, pained at the idea of Wataris death.

"If something would happen?"Aizawa began

"Could it be..?" Matsuda continued

"Where is the Shinigami?!" Ryuzaki asked.

"Good question! I don't see it!" Mr. Yagami answered.

"It disappeared!" Aizawa exclaimed.

"But what's going on?!" Mr. Yagami asked.

"Everyone! The Shiniga -" Ryuzaki started to say, but he didn't get to finish. He must have felt the activation of my protection because I suddenly felt a pulse from his connection, stronger than the one I felt for Watari.

Time moved slowly. The spoon he was holding slipped and hit the floor. He started to fall, and I ran to grab him. I held him in my arms as he took his last breaths. I mouthed to him that everything was going to be okay, and that he shouldn't worry. I watched, tears flowing down my cheeks as his eyes closed.

Everybody freaked out, believing that they were about to die. Light ran off in search of the Shinigami, everyone else following him. Then it was just me and Ryuzaki.

I looked up in time to see the shadow that was looming over me.
