A/N- Sorry people but this chapter, and every chapter after it hasn't been converted into doujinshi form yet. I will post it as soon as it is though! I promise! ^^

TWO WEEKS LATER

"We're back!"

"Keitaro they already know that, there's surveillance cameras outside."

"I know that, but it's nice to let them know too."

"Whatever…"

Kai walked through the building, cutting through the room where everyone was working.

"Hey granddad, everyone."

"Hey Kai, how was school?" Matsuda asked smiling.

"It was boring, you know, it was school…" He said shrugging.

"I'll be in my room if you need me…"

He stopped in the doorway, "do me a favor—don't need me."

He glared at L before continuing to his room.

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk. You know, you could probably stand to be a little nicer to everyone. Not that I'm complaining; I find your attitude very entertaining. You're a much bigger jerk than your father was.'

"I'm not sure what you're talking about Ryuk, I'm nice to most everyone except for L and Lorelai."

'And those kids in your class at school. Actually, you're a jerk to everyone at school—not just the kids in your class.'

"I'm not a jerk without reason. L is the reason my dad is dead, Lorelai was a jerk to me first, and most of those kids at school mess with my little brother when I'm not around. As I'm sure you can guess, I'm not exactly ok with that," Kai said flipping through random books on his shelf before walking over to his computer chair and sliding to his desk.

"That is so much fun. Anyway, time to get back to work," Kai pulled out the Death Note along with an apple—which he tossed to Ryuk.

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk.'

"Now what's so funny?"

'I was just wondering; how would me eating an apple look to someone if they saw me?'

"Why are you asking that? You already know the answer; it would look as though an apple was floating in mid-air. Besides, no one is going to see you…stupid Shinigami."

He turned to start writing again, then paused and turned back to Ryuk.

"Wait…there's a reason you're asking that isn't there?"

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk.'

"Quit laughing and tell me! Why are you asking that?"

'This just got a whole lot more interesting.'

"There's a camera isn't there? Where is it and how did it get in here?"

Ryuk resumed eating his apple.

Kai threw the notebook at him, "tell me you useless Shinigami! Where is it?"

'What do I get for telling you?'

Kai sighed and rubbed his temples, "I'll…I dunno, I'll give you a week's worth of apples if you tell me where it is and how it got there."

'Hmmm…'

"Fine…how about a month's worth of apples?"

'Now we're talking! The camera's in the top screw in the light switch. Your little brother put it there that day he came in to ask for help with his homework.'

"So…he lied to me…and he's been spying on me? I never would've thought Keitaro had it in him. Ryuk, check to see if there's any more cameras would you?"

'I'm not gonna get my apples if I don't am I?'

"Nope."

L flipped through various video feeds from around the building.

"Keitaro is currently keeping surveillance on Kai, but I'm not entirely sure that he'll let us know if he finds anything against him. Hmmm…"

L put his finger to his lips as he thought, "I'm going to put another camera in his room and keep surveillance myself as well."

"That sounds like a good idea, but I have a question. What makes you think he's Kira? I've noticed that Kai's kind of a bad kid but he honestly reminds me of myself when I was his age," Mello stated leaning back in his chair.

"When you were his age? You act like that now! 18 years and you haven't changed a bit!" Matt said, rolling his eyes.

"Neither have you mister video game addict," Mello stated kicking Matt off of the couch he was sitting on.

"To be completely honest Mello, if I hadn't been so sure that Light was Kira I probably would have suspected you," L said, turning to Mello.

"You would've suspected me? One of your own successors? Really?"

"Yes, but there wouldn't have been much of a chance of you being Kira. Besides, I'm not suspicious of Kai just because of his attitude. He is related to the previous Kira; wanting to continue his 'legacy' would only be natural, and he could also be wanting revenge."

"Yeah, that's a good point, guess I didn't think about that…" Mello shrugged and kicked Matt off of the couch again.

"What the heck was that for?"

"I dunno, the heck of it?"

Matt glared at Mello and walked across the room to the chair across from Mello's.

Kai knocked on Keitaro's door, "hey, Keitaro, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure, just a second."

Keitaro opened the door and Kai walked in and closed it behind him.

"So…what's up?" Kai asked shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Um…not much…why are you asking?"

"Oh, no reason…just wondering what you've been up to lately."

"Oh…um…I haven't been doing much of anything…just some schoolwork, you know, the usual."

"Right, right…so no extracurricular activities? No girls you're interested in?"

"Um…no not really…well there is this one girl but I haven't even really talked to her…"

"I see…that's interesting…so, speaking of interesting, have you discovered anything interesting while you've been home? Maybe, seen anything that you feel like sharing, I mean with all the cameras around here I'm sure there's gotta be something."

"No…um…not really."

"Really? Because I think you have seen something…something you shouldn't know about."

Keitaro took a few steps back.

"Uh…what do you mean?"

"You've been spying on me Keitaro."

"Wh—what? I…uh…I dunno what you're talking about."

"You left a camera in my room when you asked for help on your 'paper' which, coincidentally, doesn't exist."

"Of—of course it exists!"

"Oh, really? What did you finally choose for a topic?"

"I—uh—I chose…um…"

"And why is it that you were the only one in your class who had a paper to do?"

Keitaro backed up until he hit the wall. Kai walked closer and bent down so they were eye-level.

"The only reason is that it was just an excuse to get into my room to leave a camera so you could spy on me. Isn't that right little brother?"

Keitaro stared at Kai with a panicked expression on his face, gulped, and tried to edge away.

Kai grabbed his wrist, "not so fast. Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you. So long as no one finds out what you know everything'll be perfectly fine."

Kai smiled, "breathe little brother, everything's gonna turn out great, you'll see."
