Nifawiwa: :) I'll admit that I enjoyed brotherhood more then the original...DON'T KILL ME
chloeX15: Yeah! About around chapter 8 I started watching no game no life (LOVED IT) and found a few relates between Yuki and Shiro (Yes Sora is the big brother Shiro is the cute little sister) But I think Yuki is a bit more lighthearted and emotional

Mizu: And review!
Ameko: If you do we'll introduce more characters to the A/N!
Light's POV
Everyone was gathered around the living room discussing the Aoyama and Shibuya investigations but I was only half listening. I needed to find out what to do about Touka.
She was currently sitting in a seat next to L with that... murderer chained to her wrist. I know that I can't kill him because Touka said she deleted all files on him so if I were to find out his name somewhere in files here it would only raise my suspicion. I'll have to kill him after I get rid of L.
But Touka...she knows everything about me up to including things about shinigami. But she hasn't told L anything from what I can tell otherwise I would either be arrested or asked to present the notebook. So is she a Kira supporter? She hasn't made any move to help me or hurt me so she may be neutral. Still, having an assassin who only killed criminals could be a great asset.
I'm not one to deny that her skills are incredible. Being able to break into a security brimmed asylum without leaving a trace just proves her professionalism. To have such an attractive ally would be desirable.
I was interrupted from my thoughts by a beeping coming from L's laptop.
"Ryuzaki, Apparently Sakura TV has just received another message from the second Kira. It was postmarked on the 23rd"
The image of the word Kira appeared on the screen.
"I'm happy to say that I have found Kira. To all the people at the television station and the police department, I'd like to thank you very much" What?
'I-Impossible! Where in Aoyama?' The thought hit me. 'His shinigami...it must have seen Ryuk and picked me out of the crowd... No! No theres no way he could have known who Ryuk was attached to. I checked repeatedly that no one was following me...'
'But then how could he have seen me?'
Mizuki's POV
"This is a disaster if he found him" Aizawa stated, standing up from his chair.
"Yeah, it most likely means that the two Kiras are cooperating with each other" Soichiro calm yourself.
L hesitantly took the plate his tea cup sat on cautiously and stirred some sugar into the mix while talking, "At this point I don't think we should jump to any conclusions. The second Kira is only saying that he found him, nothing more. He may not have made contact yet" This was followed with thoughtful 'hmms' from around the task force. "Now that it's come to this..." He took a light sip of the tea. "...We have no choice but to communicate a the police directly with the second Kira"
I pulled the chair I brought in from the dining room closer to the group. "You want to send a message?" Matsuda questioned.
"Yes. The police need to reach out to the copy cat and offer him a deal. We need to negotiate with him to see if we can get Kira's real name" Ryuk let out a cackle in front of Light but maybe it was about time I tried to earn his trust.
"It won't work L" All heads turned to me.
"Please elaborate Touka-san" Thanks Soichiro.
"It won't work because if I was the second Kira I would be so caught up with finding him that the message would only fuel my obsession" Matsuda looked at me with a skeptic look in his eyes.
"How do you know that Touka?" Matsuda asked from his seat.
"Because I know what it's like to be a fangirl" May as well just get it out there.
"A fangirl?" Soichiro was confused beyond belief.
"Yes. It may not look that way but I am actually a fan of anime and manga thus why I wanted to go to the convention. You could ask any anime fan ever and they can say that they obsess over their favorite characters. Well this other Kira is more than likely a female fangirl who is obsessed with finding Kira" Light looked shocked. Can't say I blame him but it was still hilarious.
"However if your theory is wrong we still should call him directly by the police earning even the slightest chance he cooperates with us" Damn you L! That was my moment!
I sighed and leaned back in my chair. "Ok, just saying that what I think"
"Hello" I heard light enter the room but didn't bother to look at him.
"Oh come in, you're timing couldn't be better actually. We just received a new video message from the second Kira" L picked up the remote.
Light set his bag on the counter and looked over to L, "Huh? Wow that didn't take long"
"Yes. I believe it's the last one. Well...take a look at this" L clicked the remote and the video played.
"I've decided to stop searching for Kira. And I'd like to thank the police department for their advice. However I still plan to help Kira in his mission and I hope that, In time. He will come to see me as an ally. I will start by punishing criminals that Kira has yet to judge. Also, I will share my power with others who I feel are worthy and I will encourage them to do the same. Together we'll make this world a better place"
L flicked off the TV and spoke in his normal voice. "After watching this I can only think that Kira and the second Kira have managed to make contact" Ha! Take that Light...
"What makes you say that?" Wow can nobody else see that murderous look in his eyes? Just me?
L turned to look at Light. "Oh come on... didn't you sense it? I was sure you would come to the same conclusion I did after watching this once through"
"First consider how determined he was to meet Kira. So why the sudden change of heart? Now he wants to punish criminals that Kira hasn't? And all he wants is for Kira to see him as an ally? That just begs the question, why didn't he do this to begin with? I'm guessing that he never thought that far ahead, he probably met Kira and was told which criminals he'd be allowed to judge. I suspect the purpose of this message is to hide the fact that they met" Bravo L! Bravo!
"I see...what I find really strange is that it's unlike Kira to be so careless" Yeah. You WERE careless.
"That's true..." L licked the sticky glaze off his fingers, "But are we to believe that Kira made a mistake this time? Or is this his way of letting us know that he made contact. It would be an effective means of provoking us. The idea of their union is very threatening. However this is one less reason to suspect that Light is Kira"
Soichiro gasped behind me. "Ryuzaki what do you mean by that?"
"If Light is Kira I don't think this is the message he would have had the second Kira send us, it doesn't fit" Yeah but It's even more out of character for him not to deduct that the message said the two made contact in the first place.
"He would have made the second Kira go through with his plan and have me appear on TV. Then deny that they ever made contact letting the second Kira shoulder the blame for my death" L licked the chocolate off a doughnut in front of him. Making a little noming noise that was almost the cutest thing I have ever seen, second to his smile.
"Ryuzaki. I think you're mistaken. I would never do that if I were Kira" Light was straight up glaring at L now for ruining his plan.
"Why not?" Is it just me or does L sound a bit out of character in this part...
"Well if you're L and I'm Kira I'd already know your personality pretty well. L would never agree to appear on TV no matter what threat he was facing and he wouldn't allow someone to die in his place" Ok I can't stand any more of that annoyance.
"Have you forgotten about Lind L. Tailor?" I spoke up from my spot next to L. Beyond was sitting in the Kitchen eating jam while being under surveillance so it was ok but Yuki was sitting somewhere behind me.
"I haven't forgotten about him but that was different" Light jeered.
"How? Just because L is trying to catch Kira does not make him a saint. I would even describe L as slightly evil" I smirked in my mind because that was how Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata described him in the Death Note 13: How to Read. "Slightly evil"
L looked at me with a strange look of hurt in his eyes. Wow was it that bad of me to say?
Soichiro took no notice and looked at Light saying that he didn't like Light saying 'if I were Kira' But I wasn't paying attention to that. I was looking at L who was wearing a depressed facial expression stirring tea.
"I'm sorry dad but the only reason I'm comfortable saying that is because I'm not really Kira" Poor Mr. Yagami... Mello kinda did him a favor by killing him. At least he died thinking his son wasn't Kira.
"That's a good point" L kept on stirring his tea, "You're not Kira. That is, It would be a problem if you were Kira because...I feel like you are the first friend I have ever had"
I felt my heart snap. It's remains sinking in blood to the pits of my stomach. Was Light still the first friend he ever had? Was L lying when he said that he thought of me as a friend? Probably...what was I expecting?
My facial expression hardened and I just stood there blankly. That is, Until Light started talking.
"Yeah, I know what you mean the two of us have alot in common" Light nervously replied.
L took another sip of his drink, "Thank you"
"And I have missed having you around at school. We should play tennis again soon" Light assured casually.
"Yes, we should" I walked out of the room without a sound as soon as L said that. My body moving numbly out of the vicinity. I vaugely heard Matsuda asking if I was ok but I didn't process it until I closed the door and curled up on my bed.
A few tears fell silently down my face in sadness.
~End of Chapter 20~
