The Hotel

"I apologize for having questioned all of you like that." L admitted though no actual emotion was within his tone." I'm afraid I had no other choice, but I did manage to determine that Kira is not among us."

A moment of silence passed before Soichiro spoke, seeming curious.

"Ryuzaki, how can you be so sure that all of us are innocent?" Soichiro asked, earning an almost sheepish expression from L.

"Well, to be honest, from the beginning, I had set a number of traps that would reveal if any of you were Kira." L confessed, watching with amusement as the group stared at him in shock." However, after speaking with you one-on-one, I didn't feel the need to use them."

Outside The Hotel

Tsuki eyed the woman as they approached the door, wondering if she should reveal the truth to the woman. She needed someone on her side, and for the time being, L wasn't an option. Someone needed to know about the Life Note, even if she wasn't human, Time Lords could still be killed.

"Thank you so much for everything you've done, Tsuki." Naomi murmured as they entered the door of the hotel lobby." I am truly grateful."

She just gave the woman a small smile.

"It was no problem." Tsuki said with a chuckle." However, I do have one thing to say before we get to the room..."

Was she really going to do this, there was no guarantee that Naomi wouldn't tell L as soon as she admitted to owning a Life Note. However, she couldn't just, not, trust someone, that would eventually lead to paranoia.

"Yes?" Naomi questioned, looking apprehensive.

"I'm working with L currently, or at least as a consultant," Tsuki confessed, and it was true or would be true once she eventually revealed herself to Watari as promised.

"So L trusts you?" Naomi murmured, and Tsuki was unsure if it was a question or statement." Tsuki there is something I wish to tell you. My real name is Misora Naomi."

They arrived at the hotel room, Tsuki feeling confident in what she would say next.

"Hey, Naomi?" Tsuki said before the woman could knock on the door." I have one more thing to say before you go in." You can't tell anyone, but I just want to say...that I'm Tenshi."

The woman's eyes widened, the sight almost being enough to draw laughter from Tsuki. She had been in contact with the woman for a while now as Tenshi, but it was clear she wasn't expecting a seventeen almost eighteen-year-old to be the infamous Tenshi.

"I apologize for not being able to save your fiance, but my powers do not seem to be able to revive anyone who's been killed by Kira," Tsuki admitted, feeling guilty for the slight lie.

While the Life Note could prevent Kira from killing someone, it couldn't bring a person back who had already been killed by Kira. She could have saved Raye, but that would have destroyed crucial evidence needed to find Light.

"W-What?" Naomi whispered in shock.

"Would you mind handing these over to my father, his name is Yagami Soichiro." Tsuki asked handing the woman the change of clothes which she took absently, still in shock." Goodbye, Misora Naomi."
