She hasn't done anything…it's been three days…I haven't even seen Ryuk around her…did she give up the Death Note completely? Kai glared at the screen showing Yori's bedroom as he thought, if she gave up the Death Note…wouldn't that make me the owner again? If that were the case then…why haven't I seen Ryuk?

Matsuda burst into the investigation room, "Kira's killing again!"

All eyes were suddenly on him.

"Turn to channel seven!"

Aizawa abruptly walked over to the TV and turned it to channel seven. A female reporter with short black hair stared at the camera as she reported from an apartment building.

'It seems that after what appeared to be a brief sixteen day hiatus Kira has begun killing criminals once again. I'm reporting now from Shochiku Square Residence in Higashi Ginza in Tokyo where three men—all suspects in the murder of high school student, Akane Kobayashi—were found dead in their apartments this morning. The medical report states they all died of heart attacks at approximately 5:25 AM…'

Everyone stared at the TV for a few moments before automatically going to their normal places and beginning their individual jobs on the case as they had several times before.

Yori walked swiftly towards the one person she knew would help her and wouldn't turn her in.

At least I hope he'll help me…he's not exactly the most helpful person…

She walked up to the dark teen who fixed her with a permanent glare.

"You're Sato Mikami right?"

"That's right…"

"I hear you're a Kira supporter."

"Yeah, so?"

"How'd you like to help Kira?"

Sato raised an eyebrow, "I'm listening…"

Sato walked through his house—ignoring his father—went straight up to his room, and locked his door.

'You know, I don't get why you're so worried about your father finding out that you're using a Death Note. He makes it blatantly obvious that he's a Kira supporter, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually helped you.'

Sato scoffed, "my dad's pathetic, he's beyond just being a Kira supporter he's literally obsessive to the point where he even says Kira is some sort of god! In reality, Kira's just a kid with a chip on his shoulder, he's no god…at least…not yet…but I have no doubt in my mind that he could be."

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk…and just when I was starting to think you were sane…'

Sato glared at the Shinigami before pulling out the Death Note and busying himself with writing it in.

Sato stared at her, "you're asking me to write down Shinobu's name in this notebook tomorrow afternoon?"

"More specifically around 2:15…I'll text you or something."

"But why?"

Yori sighed, "we've been over this, I already told you, Kai—you know, the guy you practically worship—was shot earlier tonight, Shinobu's the one who shot him."

"I still don't get why you want me to write his name down when you're just as capable."

Yori sighed again, is this what I sound like when I'm acting stupid?

"I'm going to write something in my class notebook around the same time so it'll look like I'm writing in the Death Note so L will arrest me—but I don't know when he'll do that. His arresting me will give him a reason to search through my things; therefore I can't have him finding the Death Note. If all he finds is my class notebook then my name will be cleared…for the most part anyway."

"So you think that being arrested will clear your name?"

Sato rolled his eyes, she's an idiot…

"I just need you to write this one thing…and maybe continue acting as Kira after I get arrested."

Sato sighed, "alright fine, I'll help you…"

-3 DAYS LATER-

Kai flipped through pages of information on the Kira case, not really paying attention, simply thinking.

Who would she have given it to? Her friends? No, none of her friends are Kira supporters—she knows that, she wouldn't give it to any of them…hm…her younger sister? No, no, that's ridiculous…she's only eight years old and she cares too much about her to put her through that. I wonder…what about that kid who never leaves me alone, what was his name? Sato Mikami? Yeah, that's it…he's obviously a Kira supporter, she knows him, he'd likely help if he knew that he was helping Kira, not to mention he's dark enough that he'd probably use it anyway. It has to be him. I just need to find a way to confront him about it…

Kai rolled his newly-healed, now fully-functioning shoulder, and leaned back.

"Find anything new?" Lorelai asked, glancing at him.

"I haven't been able to find anything new the past 12 times I've read it…"

Lorelai raised an eyebrow.

"We're not gonna find anything new, we've dissected this information at least 100 times, if there was anything to find, we'd have found it by now."

Kai looked at her and she sighed, "I hate to say it but…you're probably right…we need more information."

Kai nodded then blinked in shock, "did we just agree on something?"

"…Oh my gosh I think we did…"

Lorelai and Kai stared at each other for a moment.

"We will never speak of this."

"Agreed."

Lorelai and Kai looked away from each other and turned back to what they were doing.
