Kai knocked on the door to the Mikami household. Sato answered and blinked in surprise, "Kai…what are you doing here?"

Kai raised an eyebrow.

"Right, um…follow me."

Sato led him upstairs to his room, "ok, no one can hear us up here."

Kai nodded, "I need the Death Note back."

"Why?"

Kai scowled.

"Right, no questions asked, got it."

Sato pulled the Death Note out and held it out to Kai.

"I still need you to work as Kira so take a few pages out before I take it from you."

Sato nodded and did as he was told and Kai took the Death Note, put it in his bag, and left.


Zakuro slammed her locker and stormed away from Sato.

"What the heck is your problem?"

He yelled, running after her.

"Why don't you ask your boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend and neither of us are gay anyway!"

"Then why the heck do you spend so much freaking time with him?"

Sato ran up to her and grabbed her arm, "because I'm working for him."

"Well you're spending more time with him than with me! I would hope that your girlfriend would be more important to you than some idiot with a chip on his shoulder!"

"You are more important to me."

"Then prove it."

"How?"

Zakuro smirked, "I want you to betray him."

"He'll kill me."

"Not if you do it right, if you do it the right way he won't suspect anything until it's too late."


Mello turned on his laptop computer ready to sift through more information on Kira. He raised an eyebrow as a line of text was displayed across his screen "one new message". He clicked on it and it opened his email. He read it through twice, "L, I think you should read this."

L walked over calmly and read over Mello's shoulder, "where was this sent from?"

"Um…looks like the Gakuin University library in Aoyama, it was a public computer and they don't have people sign in, there's no way we could find out who sent it."

L nodded, "I suppose we'll just have to do what it says then."

"You're not serious…what if it's a trap?"

"It didn't say you couldn't bring backup. I'll send a few police officers and Matt to follow you. Should anything happen, they'll stop the person responsible."

2 DAYS LATER

Kai headed downstairs on his way to the kitchen to get an apple to give to Ryuk on his way out. He paused behind a door, away from the view of the cameras, to listen in on what the Task Force was discussing.

"…this is insane! There's no way this is real," Matt stated.

"But if it is real then that means we could catch Kira in a matter of days!" Matsuda said, being the optimistic one as usual.

Kai's eyes narrowed, like heck they will! He thought.

"Look, whether this is real or not we have to take the chance. If it is then in 5 days Kira will be gone for good."

Kai's eyes widened in shock, 5 days? Oh crap there is no way I'm letting that happen, I can't risk whatever they're talking about actually being true…I have to do something.

"Are you sure you want to meet this guy by yourself Mello? I mean I know we'll be backup but what if this guy's just a psycho and we can't get to you in time? Or what if it's a whole group of Kira supporters or something?"

"I'm going Matt."

So…it's Mello then. Looks like I only have one option.

Kai walked through calmly as though he hadn't heard any of it and the group stayed silent. Kai raised an eyebrow at their odd behavior and walked out the door.

Ryuk laughed, 'what do you plan to do Kai?'

"It looks like I only have one choice Ryuk," he said as he tossed the apple to him.

'Eh? What's that?'

"I have to kill Mello."

Ryuk only laughed harder, 'you don't even know his name.'

"I know that."

Kai stopped walking and faced the Shinigami, "give me the Shinigami eyes."
