Touta Matsuda walked into the old Task Force Headquarters with a worried look on his face. It wasn't that he wasn't eager to see his old friends after so many years-he was-he just didn't want to see them under these circumstances.
"Hello Matsuda-san, it's been a while," L greeted him.
Matsuda nodded in his direction, "yeah, it's good to see you Ryuzaki."
"Matsuda, how have you been?" Soichiro Yagami asked standing up and walking over to him.
"Oh, hey chief, I didn't see you there."
"Please Matsuda, I'm retired, I'm not the chief anymore, you don't have to call me that."
"Right…sorry."
"Now all we have to wait for are Aizawa-san and Mogi-san," L said turning to his computer.
Aizawa and Mogi arrived and sat down.
L turned to all of them, "as you all know, there is a new Kira. This new Kira's killing pattern is similar-in fact nearly identical to the previous one's."
"That's weird…how close are they?" Matsuda asked.
L turned to his computer and brought up a chart that showed the previous and the current Kira's killing patterns.
"The blue line is the new Kira's killing pattern, the red one is Light's," L stated.
At the mention of Light, Aizawa, Mogi, and Matsuda shot a glance at Soichiro. Soichiro, however, didn't seem to notice and was looking at the data intently.
"They're almost perfectly lined up," Soichiro muttered.
L nodded.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash from the hallway and everyone-with the exception of L-looked up in surprise.
"Get back here you little white-haired twit!"
"Mello, calm down!"
This statement was followed by a string of curse words and the entrance of said "white-haired twit".
"Hello Near," L said.
Near nodded in his direction and sat down. A blonde man dressed in black walked in next-while being held back by a red-haired man in a striped shirt, jeans, and goggles.
"Mello, Matt."
"L," they said looking in his direction.
"Gentlemen this is Mello, Near, and Matt, Mello is the blonde, Near is the one with white hair, and Matt is the one with red hair. These three are a few of my successors; should anything ever happen to me one of them will take my place."
Matt finally managed to get Mello to sit down and stop attempting to kill Near and sat down next to him. Near sat on the floor next to the chair Soichiro was sitting in and began building a tower of dice.
"So, as I was saying, the killing patterns are very similar so we are either looking for someone with a similar personality to Light's, someone who knew him well enough to try and copy him, or someone directly related to him."
L finished his sentence and glanced at Soichiro. Soichiro returned the glance looking very annoyed, "you're not saying you think it could be one of my grandsons are you?"
L turned back to the screens, "there is a distinct possibility."

Keitaro stared at the video-feed with a troubled look on his face. When L had told him his suspicions of Kai being Kira he hadn't wanted to believe it but with the truth staring him in the face-he couldn't not believe it. He hadn't wanted to spy on Kai but he had done it because L had told him to and he needed to know for sure. He thought back to what L had told him.
"You want me to spy on Kai? Why?"
"Keitaro, I have reason to believe that Kai may be the new Kira. If you get the evidence we need you'd be saving thousands of lives. I can't spy on Kai because he'd get suspicious. He trusts you."
"But…isn't that why I
shouldn't be the one to spy on him? I don't wanna betray Kai's trust!"
"If you get caught you can blame everything on me, ok?"

Keitaro looked down at his hands. He actually hadn't thought he'd even be able to get the camera in there. He'd had to think quickly and act the way he normally would even though he was really nervous. He hated how easy it had been to get the camera in place. All it had taken was him brushing up against the light switch and placing it in one of the screws. Kai had been none the wiser. He sighed and looked at the video-feed again.
I suppose I could just not tell L that he's Kira and if he asks to see the video I could record enough of Kai not doing anything suspicious and just put it in a loop or something…I don't think that trick'll work on L though…I gotta find some way-I don't wanna get Kai in trouble!
Keitaro jerked when he heard knock on his door.
"Keitaro? Did you still need help with your paper?"
Oh crap! "Uh, nope! I think I got it, thanks anyway Kai!"
"No problem, if you need any help I'll be in my room, but knock first."
"Ok!"
Keitaro breathed a sigh of relief as he heard Kai walking away.
That was way too close; if he hadn't knocked I would've been caught spying on him! I don't know how he would've reacted-it kind of…scares me.
Another knock on the door startled him out of his thoughts.
"Hey Keitaro, can I come in?"
Keitaro smiled, "sure Lorelai, you can come in!"
Lorelai walked in and closed the door behind her.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, sure, why wouldn't I be?" Keitaro asked, his smile faltering a bit.
Lorelai sighed, "look, I know what my dad asked you to do."
Keitaro looked down, "oh…that."
"I don't think my dad was right in asking you to spy on him, but I have to agree that Kai is very suspicious."
Keitaro frowned, "I just don't see how it could be possible, I mean…Kai can be mean and yeah, he's usually angry at everyone but that doesn't mean that he's Kira. He's just confused and upset."
Lorelai sighed, "and this is why my dad shouldn't have told you of all people to spy on him. Keitaro, I think I'll take over spying on him, I don't think you can handle-"
"No! I can handle it! I-if Kai is Kira then I wanna be the first to know…"
Lorelai smiled sadly and hugged him, "ok then. But be sure to let me know if you see Kai doing anything suspicious."
"K, Lorelai, I will."
Lorelai left and Keitaro frowned.
What am I supposed to do…?
The first chapter-I decided to upload it as a regular fanfiction for now and have the manga version uploaded later.
