Light looked around in wonder. This was the first time he saw the world with his Shinigami eyes. The names and lifespans of the children of the orphanage they came to hovered in red above their heads, telling him who they were and when they would die.

'So this is Wammy House?' he asked B.

B stood next to him, watching the house he lived for a few years of his childhood. 'Yeah, this is it. This is where L's successors are brought up. It was a normal orphanage in the beginning, but after L came it changed. Now there are only kids who are gifted or extremely talented.'

Light nodded to show B he had heard him and continued to stare at the red letters and numbers above everyone's head.

B chuckled lightly. 'It's funny to see how new the eyesight is to you while I'm already used to it.'

'That's no surprise. You had them your whole life already!'

Light saw a little girl walking through the hallway on her way to get something to eat in the canteen. He frowned when he noticed her lifespan would end in only three more years. She wouldn't even reach the age to become a teenager…

'It'll become easier to see past those lifespans,' B suddenly said to him.

Light turned to look at his friend and saw the girl didn't went unnoticed by him too.

'Just don't think too much about every person you see. If you don't know them, it's not important to feel sad about it. And even if you know the person…' B sighed. 'Then try to ignore it.'

He has to think of his friend, A, most likely. It must be hard to return to a place where bad memories have the upper hand.

'Light,' B said to get his attention. 'I thought about something Zellogi told me when I met him. He said to me that most humans who change into Shinigami change their name too. I've decided I'll follow his advice and rather be called Beyond instead of B from now on... "B" is too much like "L".'

Light smiled at his friend. 'Alright, Beyond.'

A smile tucked at Beyond's lips when he heard Light's response. 'And what about you? You're still going through afterlife with your birth name or change it into "Kira" or something?'

He considered the name Kira as his name instead of Light. It's not like he made the name, the people did, but it did sound good.

Though something's not right with the name "Kira". It's not like I could change the world in a better place eventually… I failed in that part when I died.

'I'll think about it a little longer,' Light answered. 'I'm not so sure.'

Beyond looked like he wanted to say something, but he was abruptly interrupted when the door to the canteen slammed open. A certain blond stormed through the hallway, most likely on his way to his room somewhere in the building.

'Isn't that the kid you described as Mello? The second successor to L?' Light asked. 'The one you thought would be perfect for our plan?'

Beyond nodded. 'Yeah, that's him. I dropped the notebook in the bushes when I saw he was walking towards them to pick up a ball. He took it and went back with it, but I don't not if he used it already.'

'Hmm, we added the rules of the Death Note to the notebook as Rem's didn't have those in hers at first so he must've read them.'

'Didn't you thought it was a joke when you first picked up your Death Note? I think he thinks that too… but it can't be that long before he tries it anyway.'

'True, it can't be that long so let's find out where he went and see what Mello is going to-'

A high scream of fear came from behind the closed doors to the canteen, followed by a murmur of voices. The doors flew open and know people yelled about calling an ambulance. Some of the smaller children that ran past them cried.

Light and Beyond gave each other one look and they ran, invisible for everyone else, through the door and entered the canteen. Some of the adults stood around someone on the floor and were talking in panicking voices.

'He just collapsed!'

'Did somebody call an ambulance yet?!

'Roger! Are you okay? Can you hear me?'

Light saw a man, probably Roger, lying on the ground on his back. The man wasn't that old, maybe in his sixties and his hands grabbed tightly his chest. His heart.

'He died of a heart attack,' said Beyond perplexed.

'So this means Mello wrote his name in the Death Note…' Light said, thinking deeply about the reason why. 'When Mello ran out of the canteen he looked furious… maybe this man angered him bad enough to actually write his name in the Death Note, although he couldn't know it would kill him for real.'

Beyond cast a glance to the man on the ground. 'I never liked that man.'

Light's eyes widened. 'He was here when you lived her too? What was his purpose here?'

'He kept the orphanage running in Watari's absence, which was a lot since Watari follows L everywhere.' Beyond scowled. 'Roger never disliked children. I've never understood why he would work in this place.'

'L will hear soon about this then,' Light said. 'Let's find Mello.'

They went on their search for the room where Mello stayed in. Beyond knew his way to the area where the rooms of all the boys were. On their way a redhead ran off through the hall. Soon enough they found the blond with the Death Note in his hands standing in his room. They saw how Mello clutched the notebook firmly against his chest and chuckled to himself. The grin he showed on his face let them know for certain that he won't discard the special notebook.

Light laughed softly. 'You were right. This kid really is perfect for our plan.'

Beyond snickered. 'I told you. He doesn't even look like he's sad about the fact he killed someone!'

But wait… he was in his room all the time. How has Mello found out about Roger?

His gaze went to the second bed in the room and the memory of a redheaded boy that ran past them in the hallway shot through his head.

'Did you see the name of that redhead that ran past us earlier? I think he rooms with Mello and told him about Roger.'

Beyond's eyes went to the other bed too and shook his head. 'Sorry, didn't pay attention to him, only on finding Mello.'

Light shrugged. 'Doesn't matter. He isn't very important.'

They watched Mello in silence for a while as the blond flipped through the pages of the notebook to read all the rules.

'I finally know the answer to your question from earlier,' Light said and turned to Beyond. 'I keep the name I have now. Just Light.'

Beyond raised an eyebrow. 'Why? I really thought you would change it to Kira…'

'I don't want a name that remembers me of the failures in my human life. In the end I failed as Kira and died. I don't want a failure as name.'

Beyond nodded. 'Then Light it is.' He stopped for a moment and thought about something. 'Hey, you know what I just realized?'

Light shook his head and frowned slightly confused. Beyond's thought process could be very weird at times.

Beyond grinned. 'I realized you can form with our names the sentence "Beyond the Light". It means what is after death and if anyone knows what's after death it's we ourselves.'

'Yeah, beyond the light for us was a dark, sandy, rotten Realm and an annoying Shinigami named Ryuk.'

Beyond pouted slightly and nudged his arm. 'Come on! Don't be so dark! What about me? At least we're together!'

'…. It's better than Ryuk.'

'Don't be mean.' Beyond smirked. 'You know you like me~'

Light face palmed and mumbled. 'You know what I take it back. You can be just as annoying as Ryuk.'

What began as a calm and normal day changed into a day of chaos and unanswered questions as Watari suddenly came the room where he worked on a case. Compared with the Kira case this one was just easy. It was just a small case to keep him busy while he waited for Watari to take care of their plane tickets to go home. Wammy House.

'L, I just heard terrible news,' Watari said. The old man was slightly out of breath as if he ran his way to here. 'Roger collapsed just a moment ago in the canteen. All the children were present and saw him grab his chest in pain and fall…'

L's eyes widened drastically. 'He grabbed his chest in pain… he collapsed all out of the sudden… Do you mean…'

Watari nodded, the sadness wrinkled his face even more. 'Yes, he had a heart attack.'

'But… we caught Kira not longer than two days ago. Both B and Light died. This can't possibly be Kira… right?'

He wasn't so sure. He burned all the Death Notes… did he forget something? Did some detail managed to slip through his mind?

This can't be Kira… right?
