It was late in the afternoon and Raye Penber was exhausted. He just wanted to get on his train and go home. That was his only wish. He had finished investigating Light Yagami and decided that the boy was completely innocent of being Kira. He was just a normal teenager finishing his Senior year in highschool.

Raye had just boarded the train, noticing that that it was rather empty despite it being only 3:00pm. Raye didn't mind that vacancy, he actually preferred it to the usual sea of people.

"Raye Penber, turn around and you die," a voice spoke from behind him. Raye faintly recognized it, he had heard it before. Raye racked his memory, but couldn't bring up who the voice belonged to.

"Who are you?" Raye asked, debating whether or not he should call for help.

"I am Kira," The voice replied.

Raye felt his blood run cold. If this voice was true, then he was most likely dead.

"Just do as I say, we wouldn't want your family or fiance getting hurt would we?" The voice taunted.

Raye felt as if his heart had stopped. If this was Kira, Raye knew that he better comply or else his family was dead.

"How do you know about them?" Raye inquired.

Kira ignored the question and instead asked him, "how many FBI officers are in Japan and what are their names? Tell me that and your family is safe."

Is this all he wants to know? Thought Raye. He could provide that information no problem as long as nobody he loved was hurt.

Raye began to list off the officers that were in Japan. He didn't know what Kira wanted with that information, or what he planned to do. Raye could guess, but he didn't want to admit to himself that he may be signing his colleagues death. When he was finished, Kira seemed to be satisfied.

"The train's stopping, get off here."

Raye noticed that there was nobody else on the train anymore. He was alone with a ruthless killer that eluded some of the best minds in the world.

As the doors opened, Raye felt something pierce his back. In shock he looked dawn at the crimson spreading through his white shirt. He was shoved through the door forcefully, landing hard on his face. With his last amount of strength, he turned around to see the face of who he thought was an innocent teenager.

"Light... yagami?!" Raye exclaimed, pain clouding his voice.

Light looked down on him, his eyes glowing a bright red.

"Goodbye, Raye Penber," said the boy and the doors closed.

L was beyond frustrated. Kira seemed to be making a mockery of him. The 12 FBI agents were dead, the same way criminals were being killed. Obviously this was the work of Kira. Even worse, the NPA didn't trust him. L realized that Kira was very intelligent and he had to carefully calculate his next move. One misstep and he would end up like the FBI officers.

"So what's with the family meeting, Dad?" Sayu asked curiously.

"I figured you're going to find out sooner or later, so I might as well tell you now." Soichiro Yagami took a deep breath before continuing. "No doubt you've heard of the Kira investigation. Well, i'm leading it."

"That's awesome dad! You're such a great cop!" Sayu exclaimed, jumping up in excitement.

"Sayu that's not what i'm trying to say. You see, the FBI sent 12 of their agents to Japan to help in the Kira investigation. All of them died yesterday."

A solemn mood settled around the table, the implication of what Soichiro was saying a heavy weight on the family.

"Does that mean... that Kira killed them?" Light asked. He was completely against this killer now, someone who killed criminals was one thing, but someone who killed innocents was a stone cold murder.

"Wha?" Sayu gasped.

"Kira is a ruthless and dangerous killer, he will not hesitate to kill anyone who comes after him. Many detectives have quit already."

"Dad you should quit too! What if he gets you too?" Sayu exclaimed.

"I can't let evil triumph, I must continue." Soichiro explained.

Sachiko and Sayu protested to this.

Light stood up. "I think it's honorable, dad. And if anything happens to you, I will find Kira and make sure he gets executed."

The Kira investigation was down to 5 members. L had invited the members to his current hotel to use as a base until he moved again. He had asked them to call him Ryuzaki, given them fake IDs, gave them security belts, and talked to each one of them to make sure none were Kira. Currently, they were discussing the time frame of the deaths of the FBI agents.

"So, because they all died very close to the start of the investigation, i'm positive Kira is one of the people they were investigating. Raye Penber was the first to die, so I suspect that Kira is in the families of one that he was tailing. In particular he was assigned to two police officers and those closest to them, " L said, his thumb to his mouth.

"Very well, who are these two individuals?" Inquired Chief Yagami,

"Deputy Director Koreyoshi Kitamura along with Detective Superintendent Yagami and their families." A collective gasp was heard in the room. "At this point i'd like to place wire taps and surveillance camera's in each of their households."

"Surveillance Camera's? Ryuzaki!" Exclaimed Matsuda.

"I don't even see how you could consider this. If this got, we'd have a civil rights scandal on our hands. We'd all lose our jobs!" Aizawa shouted.

"You're willing to risk your lives for this investigation, but you wouldn't be willing to risk your jobs?" Ryuzaki retorted.

"Ryuzaki," Yagami interrupted, "what are the odds that Kira is in one of those households?"

Ryuzaki looked thoughtfully up at the ceiling before stating, "Maybe 10%, No... it's closer to 5%."

"No way, it's not worth the risk!" blurted Matsuda.

"No," proclaimed Chief Yagami, "Of all the people we looked at, not one of them seemed the least bit suspicious. Even it's a 1% chance we simply can't afford to ignore it. I don't have to tell you how offended I am to learn that my family is under suspicion. Having said that, go ahead with it. Make sure there's no blind spots in the house, including the bathroom."

"Thank you very much, that was my intention," replied Ryuzaki.

When Light returned, he was surprised to find that nobody was home yet. He let himself in, calling out that he was home. He received no answer and proceeded to climb up the stairs to his room. The only thing the teen had to look forward to was studying for the entrance exams a few days away. Light already knew he was going to most likely get top of his class and studying was pointless at this point. Light studied regardless, turning on his TV as usual.

Only bad new was on the TV yet again.

This new murderer Kira dominated the headlines, but many other criminals were talked about.

"This world is rotten," Light muttered to himself.

Light should hurry up and become a detective, so he could create a new world. Only he could do it. No one else. Light was intelligent enough that he could become the god of a new world. A world free of crime because all of the criminals were wiped out.

Maybe he did share some of Kira's ideals, even just slightly.

For the next couple hours, L just watched Light study. It was pretty boring, he was acting like a normal teenage boy. He studied and then went to bed. L continued to watch, in case for unusual behavior, but to no avail. He was about to stop his vigil for the night, when a movement from the screen caught his eye. Light was getting up. L watched as the teen walked out of his bedroom and out the door. Something about the way Light was carrying himself seemed... different. It wasn't at all the same way Light had been behaving for the first hours L was watching him.

Light left the house and L's suspicion went up nearly 20%. What reason did Light have to leave so late?

Was Light Yagami Kira?

a/n: Phew, that's over! I knew this was gonna be the toughest chapter to write. Pretty much all of the parallels with the original story line stop here. Hope it was okay. Thanks for reading, reviews are greatly appreciated. Any mistakes made are because I am an engineer not a writer. xD
