A/N: Last chapter! Oh, and in Death Note 13, it says red and white Notes do, in fact, exist. I have never owned anything other than my half-digested fountain pen. So don't sue me. Please! O.O
Chapter 15: Evidence
MWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMW
A young girl walked home from a grocery store, carrying a paper bag with a drawing pad. She hummed quietly to herself as she turned a corner on the poorly-lit street at night. A cat zoomed by, scaring her. She stepped into the alley the cat came from and found a man viciously stabbing an inanimate object. She paced closer when realization hit her; The inanimate object was a body. Was. She noisily clattered back, nearly throwing up and the man looked up. Her eyes widened as he approached her, lifting his dagger.
The girl ran as fast she could in her shiny new heels and the man followed. She finally threw herself near the opening of the alley and hid next to a box. The man went inside the alley and started searching for his witness. The girl, scared out of her mind, swept her hand around her looking for a weapon. She stopped as her hand went over something smooth and she swiftly pulled out a shiny white notebook. Inside was a note that read: Write the name of the human you wish to kill. He or she will die instantly.
She opened it and took out a pen just as the man found her.
"What's your name?" She blurted out in panic.
"Raymond Tell. What's it to you?" He threatened. She lunged out and ran. She kept running as she messily wrote his name down, crying.
"Please God, help. Please, get me out of this mess," she sobbed. She turned around the second she heard a thud. There lay the man, unmoving. She stuffed the notebook in her bag and dashed home. She wiped off the tears and opened the door to the house. Turning on the lights, she saw her mother watching television in the kitchen.
"Welcome back, Kurai," the woman greeted.

Kurai looked up solemnly at Gekido, her shinigami. She passed the paper to Mello and he gazed up as well. Finally, Matt got a hold of it and jumped instantly. The three of them stayed quiet as Rod looked back.
He got to the apartment and Kurai swiped Mello's cell phone from his pocket, located at the front of his pants. He stared at her, flushed, as she dialed Roger.
"Hello?" Roger spoke.
"Hey. Kurai here. May I speak to L? It's urgent with a capital u," Kurai ranted.
"Of course." A shuffling sound was heard, and then a new voice popped up.
"Yes?" L inquired.
"Hi, it's Kurai. Can you please get over to the Union State Plaza Hotel in three minutes?" Kurai said.
"Yes. But what is it?"
"We've got evidence against Kira in this very moment. We're ten minutes away from arresting him," Kurai smirked. She hung up and waited outside for exactly six minutes and twenty-four seconds before she saw the black Lincoln Town Car. L stepped outside and all six of them walked in.
"Matt, Ross, you guys stay here. If you don't mind, please don't kill yourselves and do something useful like calling the police. Mello, L, you come with me, we're going to see Kira," Kurai said, leading the way to room 47B.
They got to the door and Mello stepped forward, unlocking it swiftly. She smiled and said, "Show time."

Light tossed an apple to Ryuk sullenly, bored out of his mind. He fell out of his seat as the door to the hotel room slammed open. Light slid the notebook off the desk and stood up, only to be tackled by a growling Mello. Kurai dashed to retrieve the notebook and waved at the blue shinigami.
"Hi, Ryuk!"
"Right back to you. See, Light? I told you she was talented." Ryuk chuckled. Light glared, struggling to get Mello off him.
Kurai tossed the notebook to L, who miraculously managed to catch it with two fingers. L gaped at the shinigami, but nonetheless opened the notebook and saw names of criminals, including Lind L. Tailor. He mentally cringed as his brilliant mind put it all together: Names of deceased criminals written in a notebook that read "Death Note", that thing eating an apple….
"L, Kira kills by writing a person's name in the notebook. The notebook originally belonged to a shinigami. Light's Kira, Ryuk will testify. Ryuk, isn't Light Kira?" Kurai asked excitedly. Ryuk nodded.
"No point doubting, Light," the shinigami smirked. Light muffled something in return because Mello had him pinned, face down, to the carpet.
Suddenly Mello cried out in pain as Light stabbed his thigh viciously with a pen. Light ran as if demons were about to fry a donut in his butt just as L ran after him, notebook in hand.
Kurai ran to Mello.
"Mells, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, but I think he hit a nerve. I can move it, but it hurts like a dog," he gritted.
Kurai looked on sadly, then embraced him. He stood still for a second, then did the one thing on his mind. Kissed her.
Surprised, she pulled away, but smiled at him. "We caught Kira," Kurai whispered.
Mello nodded, embracing her back.
"And now L's going to catch him, and he's going to be arrested, and… We'll be safe…" Kurai said calmly.
"And happy," Mello reminded her.
The whole world dimmed as they embraced, lost in each other. No shinigami, pens, Kiras, or butt-fried donut would ever get in their way again.
