First of all, I am saying this again, but thanks for all the reviews, follows, and favs. It really motivates me to keep writing. (I'm sappy I know). Also starting from now on I'm going to try and insert cameos into the series. Whether it's Kaneki watching Tv or something else like a minor character sharing another character's name. Expect dead characters such as Euphy (Code Geass) or Lelouch (even though he could still be alive. cough *that lying mastermind* cough). Also Ihso and Kaneki will act weird in this chapter. The stress of acting will have made them behave differently. Kaneki will be sarcastic and moody and Ihso will be mad (not at Kaneki). Also I need pointers for how to handle Kaneki's personality. Like I know he was shy in the beginning and then he turned into a bad ass, but I don't really remember him entering friendly conversations often.

Three weeks before college entrance exams
L watched intensely as he observed the almost eerily normal Light Yagami and the peculiar Haise Sasaki, go about their days under secret surveillance. Out of all the other suspects, these two were the most interesting. Originally they both had a 5% chance of being Kira. It was a low percentage if you thought about it, but to catch Kira, L needed to look at everything as if it were important. Every factor and every detail was crucial. Currently Light was watching TV and doing homework, suspicious, because Kira got info from the TV and internet, but also average to the common high school student. Haise was replacing some broken windows and doing other construction work all by himself.
His records has said that he grew up in a farmhouse and his parents died when he was young. He had been left on the farm to take care of all the animals and go to school. He received money from his parents' wills and used it to hire farm hands. When he was 16 he sold the farm and moved to where he was now. He was extremely strong for his age, but his past job required a lot of muscle so it could be overlooked. Still just the utter power and maturity of this 18 year old was off. And the fact that extended family was never mentioned really irked his suspicions.
The investigative team knew that Kira was killing his victims almost supernaturally. And the strength this individual had was almost supernatural. Right off the bat, L found Haise suspicious. He had went up to an 8% chance of being Kira. One, he only ate outside the house and two, he was super strong. But after some digging, he had found that Haise's roommate was an ex-criminal. The fact that he was still alive brought his suspicions down to a 6% chance.
As Haise finished the final window he cleaned up his supplies and went to the couch, where he picked up his new book. It would be a normal day from that point on. Haise would just watch TV or read his book for the rest of the day.
Another thing that made L suspicious of Haise was that while the FBI had been helping, they would suddenly lose track of him like he had just disappeared. And after a week of losing him, he had went to the police and said that he felt like he was being followed. The police had offered to drive by his house once and a while, and he had agreed. That made it even harder to watch Haise. But that could be dismissed as the FBI agents weren't the best.
L went back to the other screen to look at Light. He had moved on from his homework and had went to reading a Playboy Magazine. Something his father had gotten upset over the first time he saw Light with one. It was annoyingly suspicious how average Light behaved. His behavior just screamed that it was mocking L. But he didn't even know that there were cameras observing him. He also moved like he was on a schedule as though everything had a time and place even if he was by himself in his room. That control is one trait common in psychopaths.
But even still nothing extreme had popped out to him. And it was only a matter of time till they found the cameras. Seeing no further use for the equipment and observing, L contacted Watari. "Watari please go and retrieve the cameras. The equipment is of no use so far."
"Right away L."
The sound of a squeaky car break rung throughout the house, a slammed car door followed. Not long after that Ihso came storming into the house like a child who didn't get what they wanted. He passed Kaneki and headed to the kitchen. "WERE OUT OF MILK AGAIN! DAMIT" The fridge door was slammed like the car door, only harder and louder this time. Kaneki continued to watch TV as Ihso had his little temper tantrum. It would be a while since he didn't have his bowl of cereal. Whenever he got mad, Ihso would aways have cereal. And he had been getting mad a lot. And it was usually because he got fired, and Kaneki had to guess why he just got fired again.
Kaneki gave a small smirk to the TV as something funny popped into his mind. Kaneki gave a bad impression of Ihso as he talked "Oh thanks man for fixing up my stingy old ruined house, even though it was a horrible idea to get it in the first place. Since it would fall apart within a month because of that rotten support beam you found, you're the best." "No problem Ihso it only took a week of nonstop work to hire that contractor to help me put it in." (Kaneki would need some help because it does require a contractor to do math to fix support beams like that and make sure the house was still safe).
A grumpy Ihso could be heard mumbling from the other room. He came in and sat on the other end of the couch. He gave a fake laugh before talking. "You're so funny Haise. Anyways that bitch fired me today for being late again."
"How late were you?"
"I got there at 9:30
"That tells me when you got there, not how late you were. Now answer the question."
"I was late by only three-five hours. Like she could expect me to be there at 4:30 in the morning."
"Even if you did sleep in late that doesn't explain why you weren't there sooner." Ihso mumbled something that Kaneki couldn't hear. "What was that? Mind speaking up?"
"I said I forgot." Kaneki gave a hum in response.
"I still need to get some supplies at the store for the house. You can drive me there to make it up to me for doing all the work." Ihso mumbled some more and grabbed the keys by the door. The good thing was driving helped calm Ihso down, even with his slight road rage and tendency to go fast. As they left the house and got onto the main road, Kaneki went from annoyingly playful to drop dead serous in a moment. The same with Ihso, except he was still mad.
"I'm assuming the cameras are still there." Kaneki gave a slow nod in response. Shortly after being followed Kaneki had entered the house one day and heard a shrill ringing.
He knew immediately that they were the sounds a wireless camera made. He had learned that from his first experience dealing with them, back in his world. It turned out that the CCG had become suspicious of Nishiki being a ghoul. When he and Nishiki had went to his house to move some of his stuff to Anteiku, he first heard the noise. Nishiki had told him that the cameras had been there for about a week and not to do anything or say anything weird.
Luckily he was able to contact Ihso and the Doctor about the cameras before anything could happen. The cameras had been there for about a week now. "Yea I wanted to leave the house because I saw that old tan car drive by again. The same one that appeared just before the cameras. Lucky I remembered it because of that weird looking driver." Ihso nodded his head as he drove trying to focus on the road and listen at the same time.
"Now what do we need to get?"
"Nothing actually. Just wanted to get out of the house where I wouldn't have to pretend to be so….."
"Human?"
"Yea. And speaking of humans I need to eat soon. I've been barely keeping my eye from changing. The cameras forced me to wait another week after my normal eating time." Ihso shuddered at the thought of Kaneki eating. The Doctor had shown him a video of him eating when he had just come into the world. It made him sick for at least a month and he couldn't eat meat the whole time. "Even though I can eat at the Doctors I know that those people watching us would check to make sure I go where I usually do or say I'm going. Like if I said I'm going out to eat and then went to the Doctors office to eat, they would become suspicious."
"True. And even though I got fired I was able to steal the hag's watch and get some major dough after selling it." Ihso could literally feel the glare being pointed at him. Kaneki was a bit overprotective of him. It didn't take a genius to tell it came from Kaneki neglecting Hide (and eventually killing him, by accident) and a killer on the loose, targeting criminals. "Relax I was sure that no one saw me and I used that pen name you gave me for the papers. So in honor of me getting fired 50 times I'm thinking we should party." Hide was a sore subject and Ihso knew it. He knew not mention him to Kaneki. From what Ihso had heard of Kaneki's life, Hide had been the only person that held his whole life together.
He made a turn at the light and headed to the diner, where he and Kaneki could relax knowing the cameras would be off them. Maybe if he got him drunk enough he could get Kaneki to hit on that girl he had the crush on. But he'd have to be extremely drunk for him to even have a slight chance of getting Kaneki to do that. He still had that crush on the Touka from his world.
The investigative team sat themselves around the table and looked expectantly at L, or now known as Ryuzaki. He sat with a blank look and ate another cupcake from his sweets rack. They were currently waiting on Soichiro who would be coming in a little late. Ryuzaki finished off his second cupcake and went for a third as the door opened. Soichiro quickly walked to his seat and looked to Ryuzaki with everyone else. "After watching both suspects carefully I have come to a find that….." He took another bite of his cupcake. The room tensed as they waited to see if one of them had been Kira. Soichiro was extremely nervous because his son had been watched and been suspected of being Kira.
"Light Yagami and Haise Sasaki are none suspicious."
The whole room breathed sighs of relief. Even though Light had a 5% chance and Haise a 6% they weren't nearly suspicious enough to be Kira without a doubt. "However that doesn't mean that one of them isn't Kira." The room became tense again. Light would need to get closer to the two suspects in order to make any more progress on the case. And he had a good idea on how. Light would be going to his college entrance exams in three weeks. And coincidentally Haise also went there. It would be harder to get close to Haise due to him being an upper classman but it wouldn't be too hard. He would meet Light there, at the exams and Haise after he got in.
And that's the end of the chapter :P. Thanks for the reviews and everything else. Please send me your ideas, I really need them. Anyways it'll be a while till the next chapter because I'm going to be busy. Plus I'm really debating on making a Code Geass fanfiction. After sever weeks now I still haven't gotten over that awesome and brutal ending. It's literally my favorite ending ever. EVER. It'll be a major AU, which has admittedly been done several times (but is still a good what if). Or an epilogue on my take of the ending (not a review but post series events).
