"Matsuda. Mogi. Go now." L ordered over the radio. The two nodded at each other and began the process of bugging the Yagami home.
"Why do we have to do this again, it feels wrong bugging the Chief's home." Matsuda whined.
"First of all, no one but us and L are supposed to know where the bugs are, second of all he's not our Chief right now… I guess technically L is. The Chief, I mean Soichiro… Is our co worker, L is in charge." Mogi recited.
Some static came from the radio, "Shut up and hide, the girl is coming home." L demanded emotionlessly.
Sayu opened the door and ran in, "Mom? I'm not cutting I forgot my running shoes! Love you! See you after school!"
Matsuda choked back a quiet laugh as Mogi elbowed him in the side. "Whoa. This must be Light's room…" Scanning the walls and looking at the books on the bookshelf Matsuda started reading off book names. "Advanced anatomy and physio—hey Mogi?"
"What?" Mogi responded a little irritated.
"How do you say that word?" He said as he pointed at the book.
"Physiology?" Mogi arched an eyebrow and also scanned the surroundings, "Damn, this kid has been groomed for success, look he doesn't have any posters on the wall aside from the content of elements… Serious nerd." He grumbled, then queued the radio, "Alright, L, you should be getting picture and sound."
"Yes. Well done. Put Mr. Yagami's briefcase back where you found it and go to Takada's house." L leaned against his knees in his chair, "You really are trying too hard, Light."
Matsuda laughed, "Real dork, huh, L?"
The radio queued, "Your point? He's top of his class and one of the top students in all of Japan, he doesn't have time to rot his brain with disgusting images of women. That's what my room looked like growing up, am I a real dork, Matsuda?"
Mogi's eyes widened and he shook his head quickly at Matsuda. "Well yeah. But at least Light isn't weird, too." Mogi face palmed.
The two detectives entered the home of Rin Takada, placed all the necessary equipment and were on their way to the deputy director's house.
Within a few hours all of the equipment was set and ready to begin. L began the recordings and paced around the room stopping only to eat more sweets. Ida watching him the whole time, "Are you serious? What the Hell, you eat your body weight in sweets? You'll get fat."
L stopped and looked at him, "No, I won't, I use more of my brain, it burns all the fat, it's people who don't use enough of their brain who get fat."
Ida gave him a cold stare, "It's not right, what we're doing… Bugging the homes of these good people… Is that your way of saying normal people are stupid?"
L bit his thumb, "Well to put in plainly. Yes."
Ida stood up, "No one here is stupid. And I hate how you operate and don't care much for you!" Ida turned around gathered his things, "I quit, L, I dislike your tactics and frankly, you."
L sat in front of the monitors at the first sign of movement, "That's too bad, I like you, Ida."
Ida gave him one more cold glare and audibly growled and slammed the door behind him. L placed his index finger on his lip and asked Watari, "Do you think he realizes he said the same thing twice?"
Watari smiled from behind his mustache, "No, I think you rilled him up to much for him to think rationally."
L never took his owl like eyes off the screens, "The youngest Yagami has returned with her parents, she must have figured out their little date. It also appears the deputy director has returned. This will prove to be—" L dropped his plate with cheesecake on it onto the floor. "Watari! The director! Get officers there now! He's collapsed! A heart attack?"
Within twenty minutes officers broke into the deputy's home with a paramedic, they quickly carried him from his home and onto the ambulance. L looked at his dropped cake and shattered plate. "Well, that's disappointing."
"L!" Rin scolded, "Seiously?! Over cake?"
L looked up from his cake, "No, Rin. It's not the cake. It was the deputy. I was disappointed about the deputy, because, I didn't want it to be Light or your daughter! And even if it is one of your kids, guess what? That's still a life lost. Go away, you're dismissed for the night. Kira will still be here in the morning." Rin opened his mouth to argue, "I will remove you from this case if you insist on provoking any more reactions from me." L pointed at the door without turning around. Rin bit his lip then rushed out of the hotel.
L turned the monitors that were linked to the director's home off. "Watari, please ensure out equipment is picked up from the home."
Watari nodded, "I will, will there be anything else?"
L shook his head, "No, thank you." Movement happened on the Takada monitors. L hugged his knees and watched, "Miss Kiyomi…" L switched the monitors to the front door, "And Light? How very interesting…" L bit his lip, "Could they both be Kira? No. Impossible, two?" L watched as Light leaned in a kissed Kiyomi's cheek. L felt a twitch in his right hand, he stared at his hand confused. "Interesting, indeed."
A half hour later Light came through the door of his home, "I'm home, sorry I'm late, I walked Kiyomi home again."
Sayu rounded the corner and jumped into her brother's arms, "The girl with the huge boobs?"
"Sayu, that's not why I like her. I like her because she's intellectual and easy for me to have a conversation with, I guess." Light's thoughts trailed off. "I guess I'd like anyone I could actually talk to…" He shook his head and gave Sayu a fake smile, "I need a shower and to do my homework."
Sayu pouted, "Okay. Have fun being a dork."
Light laughed and ran up the stairs, walking into his room shutting the door behind him. L watched curiously, "What now, Light?"
Light took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. "Ah, jeez, what now?" He rolled his eyes and took his shirt off.
L looked away from the monitor and blushed slightly. "Holy crap! I shouldn't be watching that!" L got up and turned around, he's ears twitched at the sound of a belt buckle hitting the floor. "Not looking… Not looking, okay, call me a cat." He quickly turned around and watched the monitor. L's face turned beet red, "I regret that."
