"Hey Matsuda," Mogi called as Matsuda headed to his desk. Matsuda turned to Mogi."Good morning Mogi." Matsuda said as he took a seat.

"Wow what's wrong? You look really pale Matsuda." Mogi asked a slightly concerned look on his face.

"Yeah Matsuda you really look like crap." Ide added with a snicker.

"Oh I just haven't been sleeping well. That's all." Matsuda said as he rubbed his eyes. "Well actually try to sleep for once. You don't want Aizawa to find something else to yell at you about." Mogi said as he laughed.

"You're right. He yells at me enough."

"Got that right. Anyway see you later Matsuda." Ide and Mogi left Matsuda alone at his desk.

Matsuda headed to the bathroom to wash his face, hoping that that would wake him up. When Matsuda actually looked ion the mirror he understood what Mogi and Ide were talking about. He was really pale and starting to get bags under his eyes. Seeing the dark bags brought him back a couple of years thinking of a certain insomniac with an unhealthy love of sweets with dark bags under his eyes.

"I'm perfectly fine." Matsuda shouted to himself out loud as he splashed water on his face. A man walked into the bathroom gave him a very disapproving look. Matsuda blushed immediately. "Sorry." he said as he quickly exited the bathroom. Matsuda returned to his desk and continued with his work.

It was nearing 4 in the afternoon when Matsuda started to feel very weird. His vision would get blurry and his temple began to throb painfully. He had continued typing the report he was working on but the headache wouldn't go away. Matsuda popped some advil in his mouth hoping it would alleviate the pain. It didn't work. Matsuda sighed loudly and rubbed his eyes.

He turned his head and there leaning on his desk was Light Yagami.

Matsuda almost fell out of his chair. He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes. Light was still there. Light turned his head to Matsuda.

Why hello Matsuda. Light said with a smirk.

"L-Light what the hell are you doing here?!" Matsuda was trying his hardest not to shout when he spoke.

My dear Matsuda, it is time we started your punishment Light said with a evil grin.

"What are you talking about?" Light responded by laughing maniacally.

You will see. he said as he continued to laugh.

Matsuda covered his ears but the laughter continued. It was getting louder and louder. Matsuda slammed his eyes shut not wanting to see the murderers face. "Please stop" Matsuda said whimpering. "Please stop laughing at me!!!" Matsuda yelled.

The entire office grew extremely quiet as all eyes were on the detective, who was on the edge of tears.

"Matsuda! Matsuda!"

Matsuda slowly opened his eyes to see Aizawa glaring down at him. "What the hell Matsuda?! In my office now!" Aizawa yelled.

Matsuda slowly walked to Aizawa's office. Other detectives were whispering to each other as they pretended not to stare at him.

Aizawa was behind him as Matsuda took a seat in a chair in front of Aizawa's desk. Aizawa shut the door and closed the blinds on the door and windows that looked out to the detectives desks.

Aizawa sat down at his desk and cleared his throat.

"Matsuda what the hell was that?" Aizawa asked his voice calmer though there was a hint of annoyance in it.

"Aizawa…I…" Matsuda's voice trailed off. He looked down at his hands. "I'm sorry." he said in an almost whisper.

"Do you need to talk to someone? Has the job been bothering you lately? Is it the case Matsuda do you want to be re-" "No!" Matsuda shouted. "I …uh…what I meant to say was…I don't want to be taken off the case Aizawa please don't."

"Matsuda you have been off these past couple of days, more than usual." Aizawa looked into Matsuda's eyes. He looked like he was about to cry. Aizawa sighed.

"Alright you can stay on the case. Now go home and get some rest. I don't want to see any of this crazy behavior tomorrow or you really are off the case."

Matsuda nodded. "Thanks Aizawa." Matsuda said with a beaming smile.

Matsuda left the NPA and hailed a cab. He didn't think he could make the walk home.

Matsuda.

Matsuda froze when he heard the voice. He slowly turned and in the cab next to him was Light smirking at him. Matsuda screamed.

The cab driver stopped the car and turned to Matsuda. "Sir are you alright?"

"You, Why are you here leave me alone!!" Matsuda screamed again and ran out the car. He ran all the way to his apartment and locked the doors. He ran to his room and locked the door.

'This is not happening Not happening Not happening' Matsuda thought to himself as he hyperventilated

Why must we go through all of this Matsuda. Your making your self look ridiculous. Not that it matters to me. Matsuda looked at his bed. Light was sitting on the edge smiling with pointed teeth.

The last thing he remembered were those crimson red eyes.
