Rose and Matsuda walked into the building, both talking and laughing, she carried a large pink stuffed hippo. "It really isn't fair to win a prize off of a shooting game when you're a cop."

He smiled softly, "Sure it is, those games are rigged, not my fault they didn't rig it well enough."

Upon the ride up the elevator Rose's bracelet armed itself, she looked up to Matsuda, "He isn't in his room?" He shrugged. She gave a heavy sigh, "Those two will be the death of me."

They entered the main floor of the investigation, they glanced at each other and Rose looked around, Matsuda chuckled, "Even L called it for the night… Is that Light's coat?"

Rose gave Matsuda a worried stare and she walked with a quick pace, "We left them alone with a Kira suspect and a serial killer, what were we thinking?!"

Matsuda followed her, "You don't actually think that…"

Rose shrugged quickly and a little frantically, "I don't know." She stopped in front of Six's door, "L's bracelet works the same, I think, so…" She quietly pushed the door open and took a sigh of relief.

Beyond stared at her with a raised eyebrow and put his finger over his lips. Rose smiled softly at Six who had cuddled herself next to Beyond, hugging his waist. He spoke quietly, "I tried to go back to my room, I at least got my shirt back." Rose chuckled lightly. "I think if she started rolling it would be considered a Death Roll."

Matsuda leaned in and smirked, "Oh?"

Beyond nodded, his eyes falling back onto Six's sleeping form, the corners of his mouth turning upwards slightly. "Alligators would be envious of her grip."

Rose smirked at Matsuda, "Good luck, B." She pulled the door closed, "I guess that means… We need to find L and Light…" They wandered down the hall, "He has to be within one hundred feet.

"Maybe they just worked late? And Light just stayed? Let's check the room they shared when they were handcuffed." Matsuda rested his hand on the handle.

"What? They were handcuffed together?"

Matsuda sighed and gently pushed the door open, he peeked in then shut the door quickly, "Yep. Alive and well." He blushed brightly.

Rose widened her eyes, "I want to say I'm surprised… But, I heard that his tactics were always odd. Probably where Six gets it from..."

Matsuda swallowed coarsely, "The chief would die if he knew…"

Rose stared at him, "You can't tell him! The would singlehandedly get you thrown off the task force and breach both L and Light's trust!"

He nodded quickly, "I see your point. And I like working with everyone… Even if they are odd." He chuckled, "I'm not sure how I feel about B, but Light is my friend and I'd like to think I'm more than L's gofer when Watari isn't around. Six is alright… And," Matsuda bit his bottom lip and fidgeted his fingers together, "I know I like you…"

Rose blushed slightly and walked to her room, "Well, thanks for tonight… I had a lot of fun…" She smiled and kissed his cheek before disappearing behind her door.

Matsuda smiled softly and turned to leave before running into Light who pushed him against a wall lifting him off the ground slightly, "Matsuda." His voice poured venomously through gritted teeth.

Matsuda blinked a couple of times in surprise, "Oh hey, Light."

"Don't, 'oh hey', me. I don't have to say, I will deny anything you tell my father." He narrowed his golden eyes, angrily.

Matsuda sighed, "I'm not going to say anything."

Light glared at him, "Best not. It would be sad if you had to be separated from Rose."

"Light." The deep voice caught both Matsuda and Light off guard, they both slowly turned their heads to see Beyond standing in front of his room, "Put him down, I need to talk to you."

Light looked at Matsuda and set him back down, "Sorry, I didn't realize I had lifted you…"

Matsuda blinked as his eyes met the floor, "I didn't either…"

Beyond stared at them blankly, "I'm not the most patient man, Light…" Light shook his head slightly and walked up to Beyond, who narrowed his eyes at Matsuda, "Go home, Matsu… See you in the morning." Beyond nodded his head motioning Light to follow him.

"I'm not suicidal… I'm not going in your room."

Beyond rolled his eyes, "I could kill you with no repercussions right here, right now, if I wanted you dead…" Matsuda walked passed them, waving to both of them as he walked down the hall.

Light sighed and hung his head following Beyond into his room. Beyond grabbed his cigarettes off his table and stepped onto the balcony. "What is it?" Light leaned on the railing.

"I know you're Kira…"

"I'm not –"

"Cut the crap, I can see the names and lifespans of everyone around me, but yours… If I'm understanding L's notes correctly, a notebook is the primary weapon, a tool of the Shinigami… I'm no fool, I know about the Shinigami, as I was born with their eyes. You do not have a lifespan… Making you Kira." Beyond popped a cigarette into his mouth and lit it, "That being said… You can surrender your book or I can break your neck. I have no problem going back to prison, either way, no matter what you choose… I'm going back with my full sentence."

Light stared at Beyond in shock, "Why?" 'He can see the names and lifespans? He has the eyes? Too bad he seems to be loyal to this case… Can't say I blame him, he'd die and he knows it.'

Beyond looked down, "If the case goes cold, or we arrest anyone other than you… I'm going back… If I kill you, I'd obviously be going back."

"But why? Why would you care? Am I supposed to believe you give a damn about anyone else but yourself?"

"Maybe I'm tired of hurting people… At the current rate, you'll be the death of L. Maybe I don't want him to die… Maybe I want to see him happy for once in his miserable existence." He took a long drag of his cigarette. "My mistakes were mine to make. But he doesn't deserve to lose his life because of yours."

Light sighed and looked at the sky, "Do you regret it?"

Beyond thought about it for a moment, "Do you?" Light remained silent. "There will always be evil in this world, Light… Some people are just born bad. You can never create a perfect world. Not on death."

Light looked over to Beyond who was staring out towards the city, "Would you really let it slide like that?"

"What proof would I have? If you're honest with me, I'll be honest with you. From one killer to another… It isn't worth your freedom, your life… Your love." Light looked down to his hands. "What Six said is true, I'm L's prisoner, I'm in no other files. Keep that in mind before you write my name down." He put his cigarette out on the balcony and sighed, "Just think about it… I really don't want to kill you, but I will to protect what I hold important."

"If you could start over with the knowledge you have now… Would you? Would you take it all back?" Light watched Beyond's every movement.

He sighed and looked up at the sky, "No. I'm a self made monster… But I'm happy, with who I am that is. Bring it to me."

Light blinked a couple of times. "Huh?"

Beyond stared at him, "The book."

Light scoffed, "I don't keep it on me…" Beyond stared menacingly sat him, "Alright, I'll bring it in next time I go home."

"You're dangerously close to getting thrown off the balcony…" His voice was emotionless but something about it told Light he was dead serious, no pun intended.

Light held his hands up, "Alright, I'll go now." Beyond nodded as Light turned to leave, "I'm exhausted… Can I bring it in the morning?"

Beyond rolled his eyes, "If you use it tonight I'll kill you anyway. Unless of course you kill me." Beyond turned and smiled deviously at Light, "Sweet dreams."
