A few months had passed since that incident happened. Light and Ryuuzaki had many disagreements. He and I would discuss it at the end of the day. When we would settle down and relax listening to my music. I had become much smoother in playing now that I was older and that I had L by my side once again. I leaned my back against the piano as I watched the city lights. Of course since Light was still chained up to L, I would have to call him Ryuuzaki 24-7 now. Light would appreciatively listen to the music at night time. He said it helped him to wind down when the day was finally over, and he wasn't lying about that. I would welcome him just as I welcomed L or anyone else that would want to join us, I welcomed them eagerly. As emotionless and cold as I may seem that is. There was a lot going through my mind right now. With Kira on the lose, Light having evidence that this Kira could possibly be on Yotosuba, a company's, side. I also worried about Watari, Matt, Near, and even Mello. What happened to them? Are they all doing fine? But the question that would continuously echo through my head, would I ever get to see them again? I sure hope I would be able to.

Kira had made an offer to politicians. So if the police force gave in then they wouldn't lay a hand on any politicians. In order for this to happen everyone that was involved in the NPA needed to resigned. L had suggested that he would rather think it would be better off if they were police officers. For as long as they were working with L they couldn't be a police. L explained that when he started the Kira case, he was alone. And although he was very thankful to all that have stayed with him and helped him throughout this case, he knows that he can do this by himself. The result of this event was everyone in fact did quite the the police, so they could work along L. Though this leaving them unemployed. Aizawa had no other choice but to keep his job and raise his family. He left the Kira case. He was upset for leaving and felt as if it wasn't justice. Though I knew for a fact that L had planned that if one of them were to loose their jobs their family's financial future would be in tact. But the thing was the person who had said this was Watari. A "W" came up on the old screen and there I heard Watari's voice. How long has L not told me about this?

It was a slow day. Light was searching up information on the deaths of Kira's victims. Ryuuzaki sitting next to him sipping coffee. I was sitting in my own awkward looking, yet comfortable sitting arrangement. The rest of the task force were either stand up or sitting on the remaining chairs next to us. We were supposed to be keeping an eye on Misa Amane. I cringe on the inside, Misa Amane there was something about that girl I didn't like. I zoned out a bit as Mogi came and put a stack of roughly around 300 papers on the desk. All of Yotsuba's employees. I pick up the first one on the top and studied it. "Higuchi..." I read softly out loud. My eyes turned to slits. I place the paper neatly back on top of the stack. Matsuda spoke, "Ryuuzaki, tell me is there anything I can do to help with the investigation? Besides the whole manager thing." I sighed loudly, poor Matsuda. He wanted to be of help, and I respected him for that but at the times his wits weren't so... sharp. I got up and slowly began walking to the piano room. I heard Ryuuzaki sigh from behind me, "So, you really wanna be useful?" He said in flat out monotone. "Yes." Matsuda quickly replied. "Well then, could you get me another cup of coffee? And for our guest over their as well." Matsuda couldn't believe what he had just heard. He wanted to be a much bigger hope more than that. But what Ryuuzaki had said caught my attention. I stopped walking and stood their, waiting to anyone to say anything more before I turned around to face the two guest sitting on the couch, I didn't recognize them. "W-who are they?" Sometimes Matsuda's questions helped. "Wait a minute, who let them in!?" Light said, he was cautious of this case I could tell. Maybe he just wasn't Kira after all. Maybe L was actually wrong. It was possible, but then again it could all be just an act. After all, Light Yagami has the brains to do it. "These are the two newest members of the task force." Ryuuzaki explained. They both were blond, one woman and one man. They were well dressed, they seemed smart too. "Name's Iber, I'm a con-man. How's it going?" The man said as he pushed his sunglasses up to the top of his head. What? A con-man. What help would we need from a con-man. I thought for a second. Were they going to help us with Yotsuba or... "I'm Wedy. And I'm a thief by trade." The woman said. Working with criminals now? I thought to myself. Oh joy. I walked back toward my chair where everyone else was. Yagami sighed in disgust, "A con-man and a thief." Ryuuzaki quickly stood up, "That's right. Iber is a life long con-man. He has parallel social skills to obtain the trust of any target. We'll use him to help up in this case. And for Wedy, shes a thief who specializes in cracking high security systems. As proof of that she was able to enter the building without setting of a single alarm." He said. Wow, these two may be criminals but they were brilliant. "You expect us to work with criminals?" Yagami was just disgusted by the thought of it. "That's right. These two have never been caught, so it's unlikely that they will be killed by Kira. Think of them as professionals of the underworld." Ryuuzaki said. Light looked up at him from the floor, "I understand. In order to investigate Yotsuba we'll need help from people like them. Lets all do our part and make this happen, okay?" He said, making sure that everyone in the room heard. I stepped forward and spoke, "But from my guess the security at Yotsuba and some of their homes is going to be a tough one to crack, even for you two." I said monotone. They looked at me. "Yes, your right about that. But how did you know that we we're going to break into their homes?" Wedy asked. I bit down softly on my tongue, "Lucky guess." I wasn't too sure what to think of these two. But if Ryuuzaki trusted them then I suppose they weren't all that bad.

Days past and the Kira case continued on. Wedy and Iber both got into the workers of Yotsuba's houses and put in security cameras just as I had predicted earlier. Not only did they place hidden cameras inside the house but they also placed it in the car as well. Truthfully I was really getting tired of hearing Kira all the time, though I never shared this thought with anyone. I wanted for this case to be over. It was stressful, and we were all risking our lives to catch him.

It was only during the late afternoon in which I decided to turn in early for the day and think of other things besides Kira all the time. I stretched my arms over my head as I slowly stood up. Matsuda looked up at me from the screen, "Tired already M- Er I mean, Namiko? It's not even 6:00 yet!" I stood up, pausing for a moment, thinking of what to say. "No Matsuda..." Monotone. I paused. He looked at me as if I had just insulted him. "...I'm just..." I continued, the truth, " tired... Of this Kira case." I said softer. "I'm turning in early." I mumbled as I made my way slowly to the piano room waiting for anyone to dare and make a comment for me turning in early. "That's good." A deep voice said, Chief Yagami's voice. I turned, "Hmm?" I raised my eyebrows. "It's good that you turn in early. You've done a lot to help with the case Namiko. Good work." He said giving me a nod. I nodded back "Domo-Arigato (Thank you), Chief Yagami." Ryuuzaki looked up from the screen in front of him. "Namiko," He started. "Hai (Yes), Ryuuzaki?" I replied. "I.." He paused for a moment, to correct himself. "We... will be joining you shortly." He said as he held up the hand that was chained to Light's. I nodded tiredly and retreated to the piano room for most, if not rest of the night. The door opened in front of me as I silently walked in, not even bothering to turn on the lights it was still bright enough, dim. But enough light. I sat down on the white cushioned piano bench. Some papers of sheet music were already laid out on the placeholder. I put them back in order, "Kiss the Rain. Yiruma" It read. I mumbled something unintelligent to myself, I haven't played this song in a long time. Years as a matter of fact. This song was always Near's favorite as well as Matt's. Mello never took an interest towards piano music or any classical genres. His choice fell in the loud, rock, screamo genre. I sighed remembering them. I saw a small white light blinking in the corner of the dimly lit room. I walked towards it, wondering what it was. I pushed it with my foot out into the light of the moon. It was the laptop. I opened it, only to find a black "W" on a white background filling up the screen. "Yes Ryuuzaki?" A voice said. That is, Watari's voice. "Oh, hello Watari, it's me Namiko. Not Ryuuzaki." I replied, I wondered if I was even aloud to be on this laptop. "Oh, hello Namiko." I could hear the smile in his voice. "You know, I'm glad that Ryuuzaki had put you on the Kira case." I nodded, as if he were able to see me. I haven't talked to Watari in such a long time. Wait. What about Near, Matt, and Mello? Where were they- "Watari." I said calmly but firmly. "Yes?" He replied, he voice was as calm as Ryuuzaki's. "If your... Somewhere. Where is Matt, Near, and Mello?" I replied back quickly. There was a long pause on Watari's side. I remained silent also. "I guess Ryuuzaki hasn't told you Namiko." Watari said. I felt my heart dropped, had something bad happened to them? Did Kira... No. Kira couldn't have. "There are many secrets Ryuuzaki is keeping from me, I find it nothing new if he hasn't told me yet another thing." I was calm. "I'm actually in the same building as you are now Namiko." He said. Wah?! He was? "You are?" Unbelievable. "Hai." Great, now Watari was started to speak Japanese. I only knew Korean. Korean and Japanese were two completely different languages. I only knew enough Japanese to make small talk with the locals as well as just survive in Japan. Though, I was getting better each day. The only reason I could communicate with the other task force members were because they also knew English. "What about Mello, Near, Matt? Where are they all at?" I blurted out. "They are still back at England, Namiko." He replied back quickly. My heart dropped, "Will I ever get to see them again?" It was soft on Watari's end. I heard him take a breath in, "It's a good possibility that you will." I felt my heart lighten up a little. "I understand. Good night Watari." I said softly. "Good night Namiko." I could hear the smile in his voice. I shut the laptop and pushed it back in the corner. I closed my eyes, someone besides me were in this room. I took my best guess "Hello, Ryuuzaki." I said in a monotone. I turned around, not seeing the person I had expected to see. "Eh, Matsuda." I was a bit surprised. "H-hey M... Ah, I mean Namiko." He said stuttering, his hand flew to the back of his head as it always did when he made a mistake or was nervous about something. "It's okay Matusda. In here you can me Namiko. For I trust you. But other than just us two in the room you need to call me by Namiko." I said with my back facing him, I was making my way over to the piano. He nodded an "okay" at me. I played the soft melody of Yiruma's "Kiss the Rain" I didn't wasn't in the mood to really play. "Do you play piano Matsuda?" He looked surprised by my asking. Silence passed between us as the minutes passed by.

"Matsuda?" I snapped him out of his daze. "Huh? Oh. Piano? Yeah, well... I used to but I haven't played it in such a long time." I stopped, leaving my foot on the pedal. The E flat bounced off the wall's filling the room. "Why don't you try, it's really very sim-" He cut me off. "I don't think I remember any-" My turn. "Come on, it's not hard. It's jus-" Again. "No, really M I don't think I can." I let him finish his sentence. "It's just like riding a bike." He was about to cut me off again, I held my hand in front of his face signaling to let me just finish. "Once you learn how, you never really forget." I said in a more softer tone this time. I moved over from the middle to the end of the bench. He remained standing, perhaps deciding if he should really try to play piano again after all those years. I pat the spot next to me. Reluctantly he came and sat down. "Er, what should I play anyway?" He asked, turning to look at me. As if on cue, a small amount of wind blew through the small spot in the window that I had opened to let air in. It blew some of the music sheets across the floor, "Kiss the Rain" flew it's way off the sheet place holder as a couple sheets came down landing in Matusda's lap. "Wow." He whispered. "That was amazing." I mumbled. "What are the sheets that fell in your lap?" He turned them over. "Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade. Piano Version." He read out loud. "That's a good song." I said. "Yeah. That's ironic." Matsuda half mumbled. That caught my attention, "Ironic. How so?" I asked. He paused. "Oh... I don't know. It's just... my mom's favorite song." He said quickly. "Right." I replied. Matsuda, you lier.

He placed his hands down on the piano key's. Ready to play.

Any time now Matsuda...

"BOOM" I cringed at the sound. What in the bloody hell was that?
