Near sat in the window of his hotel room with Sayu sitting opposite of him. He hugged his knees and sighed at the moonlight. She gave a soft smile. "I'm feeling much better now that I have some water in my system, thank you, Nate. You're a true gentleman."

He rolled his eyes, "Only you see me that way."

Sayu placed her hand on his knee, "Sometimes all you need is one person to see you as their world before you can see the world for what it is."

Near made eye contact with her, "Tell me about yourself. We've talked for a couple hours now and I still don't have the slightest clue about you."

She smiled, "Well. As you know, I'm Light's little sister. And if it wasn't for L and Light I would have flunked out of high school. L was there for me when Light wasn't well. I feel very close with Luis, he's my big brother, best friend, co-author and teacher. Although, after Light left with him I realized just how lonely my life was. Sure, I was the top athlete in the school, so people naturally always hung around me, but never actually with me, but I didn't care about that kind of stuff, I just wanted to play." Sayu stared into Nate's deep grey eyes. "But, I digress... I recently won Japan's lightweight woman's boxer. I'm single, um. It's really awkward talking about yourself."

Nate hugged his knees and stared into her honey colored eyes, "Why Berlin? Why are you here?"

Sayu looked down and fidgeted with her fingers. "There's a Death Note here."

Nate's eyes widened, "How-?"

Sayu hung her head defeatedly, "I've been watching the news... I came here because I wanted to find L and Light... I hoped they would chase after the Death Note..."

Nate leaned in towards Sayu, "What's really wrong?"

Sayu looked up with tears in her eyes, "I don't have anywhere else to go!" Sayu let out a loud sob. "After Light left my father was determined not to raise another disappointment, so, my life got really crowded really fast... I wasn't allowed anywhere... Then I left. It probably broke my mother's heart, but I couldn't live like that. L and Light were my friends... And dad... After he left, never had a kind word to speak of them."

Nate looked around uncomfortably, "It's okay, stick around, I'll get you back to L and Light." She continued to cry a little Nate shifted uncomfortably, then leaned over to her pulling her by her arm into a tight hug.

Sayu gasped and stopped crying instantly, "Nate... What are you doing?"

He hugged her tightly, "Is this not what people do to comfort another's pain?"

She smiled and hugged him back. "Yeah, it is. Thanks."

Nate released his grip a little on her but kept her close, "So… You're a run away?"

Sayu sighed and cuddled into Nate's chest, "Yep. No where to go."

Nate watched out the window, "Want to walk with me? There's something I want to check out. Since you're already aware of the Death Notes, which you will have to explain to me, I won't need to hide anything from you."

Anthony and Hal returned to the room. Nate stood up and helped Sayu down off the window seat of the bay window. She interlocked her arms with his left arm, as they walked past the two, "By the way, you're fired. Both of you, you have a return flight scheduled for midnight, I suggest you don't miss that plane lest you wish to become German citizens."

Anthony and Hal stared at each other and Hal reached out, "Yeah? What about your personal security, or social interactions. You can't do this on your own."

Sayu shot her a nasty glare and Hal stopped her arm, "He's not alone! I'm fluent in 7 languages, L taught me! And as for security? Bring it on sweetie, you're messing with the lightweight champ of Japan!"

Nate smiled at her defensive behavior, "Yes, I believe this will cut costs on the over all investigation leaving more money for other aspects. Sayu will be working with me for now on. Thank you for your loyal service when you were working for me." Nate gently tugged Sayu and she gave him a bright smile and walked with him.

Anthony started packing his things. Hal stood next to him helping him, "Can he do that?"

Anthony closed his eyes and sighed, "Yes."

"Sayu… Why does that name seem familiar?" Hal pulled up her phone and did a internet search on the lightweight champion of Japan. As the page loaded her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped, "No…"

Anthony picked up her phone and looked at the screen, "Sayu Yagami?! Impossible!"

Hal sighed and closed her bag, "We can't save him now. He's fired us, it's his problem now."

They walked along the River Spree with their arms interlocked. "Nate… I have a confession to make."

Nate looked at her and stopped walking. "What is it?"

Sayu released his arm, "I came to give something to L and Light, but you'll have to do…" Sayu took a deep breath and beckoned Nate to follow her.

Nate dodged people as Sayu pulled him through the crowd by his hand with their fingers intertwined together. "Her hands are so soft." Nate thought to himself.

Sayu stopped in front of an alley. "It's here." Sayu pulled Nate into the dark alley. "My confession… Is here." Sayu reached her hands into a small cranny where she revealed a black notebook. "I can sense them. I've been collecting."

Nate held his hands out, "Sayu, what are you saying to me?"

Sayu gave a pained smile, "I killed the owners of these Death Notes."

Nate perked his head up, "Plural… You said Notes… Plural…"

Sayu nodded and grabbed a backpack out of a garbage can, "I own 9 Death Notes. And I have the Shinigami eyes."

Nate fell against the wall, "Oh." He shook his head in disbelief. "Um."

Sayu choked up, "You see? No one wants me because of these books, but I can't keep letting people kill each other! Light would want me to stop them if I knew!"

Nate shook her, "Your brother would kill you if he knew! Not literally, but… Ah, shit."

Sayu started to cry softly, "Can we still work together?"

Nate looked in the backpack, "Yes. You're obviously not trying to hurt me or my associates. You know everyone's full name. Yet no one has died." Nate stood up and held his hand out for her. "Come on Sayu. It appears thanks to you we're done in Berlin."
