Just a reminder that I'm not a genius myself so it's possible I'm not amazing in writing and solving amazing cases, but I try :)
Also a big thank you to those who take time to review :D Makes me very happy to see those in my inbox.
Light and Beyond were enjoying the sunny day in the backyard of Wammy House. They were sitting on the grass, chatting away about little things. Light wanted to feel the sun beams on his skin before the time came to return to the Shinigami Realm and become real Shinigami.
He sighed. 'Time goes fast, right?'
Beyond nodded silently in respond.
'Mello has finally a way to prove to L he's smarter than Near, and that without the Death Note… the last few weeks he's only busy trying to help L,' Light said.
'Yeah,' Beyond agreed. 'The kid surely knows how to use the murders we are causing for his own benefits.'
Light turned around his head to look at him. 'Not to forget he's killing a few criminals now and them.'
The red-eyed man snickered. 'It's amazing how someone who wants to be L's successors kills to reach his goal.'
Light rolled his eyes. 'Talk about yourself…'
'Doesn't count!' Beyond exclaimed. 'I started killing after I ran away from this place.'
'True,' Light nodded. 'But it won't be too long before we'll lose the memory of everything that happened in our human lives. Already three months have passed by since our death. Only three months left.'
Beyond groaned in frustration and let himself fall on his back. 'I'm going insane. It's been so peaceful around here.'
'It feels peaceful… but I also have a feeling that we're forgetting something. Something important…'
But what is it that we're forgetting?
'Hmm, I thought it was just me with such feeling. It's like a cold shiver goes down your spine,' Beyond said. 'Not sure if I want to find out what it is.'
After a few weeks since they started helping L with the case, they called them now officially The Mystery Murders, Mello thought it was time to use his knowledge about the murders in his advantage.
It took him some days to map out the murders in a specific area and did this for several countries. Quickly enough a sort of pattern started to form. If Person A got murdered at noon, another Person B died of suicide or horrible accident a few hours later not all too far from Person A. Of course there were a lot more cases that didn't fit this pattern, but Mello asked Light and Beyond some time ago to make more cases that fit this pattern.
'L, I think I found something,' Mello said exited.
The detective quickly jumped from his crouched position on his chair and walked over to Mello. L crouched beside Mello on the ground where he sat with a world map full of circles and written details. 'What did you found, Mello?' he asked curiously. 'A pattern in de murders?'
He nodded and pointed at a circle somewhere in the United States. 'I mapped out a lot of murder and suicide cases in different countries and noticed something. It seems like Person A got murdered and only a few hours later, or less, a suicide or horrible accident takes place not too far from Person's A death.' He turned to look at L and saw the detective began to understand what he was telling. 'I think Person A got murdered by Person B and after that Person B killed himself. This pattern seems to fit for multiple cases around the world.'
Near and Matt came closer to watch the map while Mello was explaining and listened to the new pattern.
'How did you found out about this pattern, Mello?' Near asked.
Mello narrowed his eyes as he watched the little albino sit close by to see the map better, but answered nonetheless. 'I noticed it with two people that were recently killed here in England. I thought it was worth a try and mapped out more cases all over the world and soon I saw it was a returning pattern.'
'Good thing you discovered this pattern, Mello,' L said. 'It's the closest thing we've come to discover a clue since we started. Well done.'
Mello couldn't help but smirk at Near behind L's back. He was pleased to see Near's brow just slightly twitch in irritation.
Say goodbye to your spot as first, Near. It won't be long until I kick you off that place.
When he saw Matt frowning at him he quickly let his smirk fall off his face. Does Matt suspect what I'm doing? But he did promise me to not tell anyone… Oh well, it won't be long until he sees what I'm doing is the right thing.
It didn't take long for Light and Beyond to discover what they forgot. They were still talking in the backyard, sitting in the sun, when a piercing scream flew through the air.
"Liiiiiiight!"
Light and Beyond jerked around by the sound of a very familiar voice.
Light's eyes widened. "We forgot there's someone else who died and had used a Death Note too…"
Beyond gulped. "You think she's angry?"
In front of them appeared a very pissed Misa Amane…
