The day had finally come when the taskforce got an opportunity to apprehend Higuchi who was the current Kira as of now.

It was easy according to you. All that needed to be done was to convince Higuchi that Misa is a devoted Kira worshipper.

Since both Light and also Misa did not seem to have any memories of being Kira, this was a solid plan. Misa easily agreed the moment she received Light's approval.

Misa had already provoked Higuchi to stop the killings for a few days, to prove that he was truly Kira. Sure enough, the killings stopped.

Higuchi was now put in a situation where he himself dug his own grave. He revealed that he was in fact the current Kira as he kept talking to someone or something in his car while he was alone. You knew of this information because L had wiretaps set in Higuchi's car.

Everything that was being unveiled were things you had already guessed.

L ordered everyone to follow Higuchi and apprehend him. However, everyone had to cover their faces because it seemed like Higuchi had the 'eyes'.

Currently you were in a helicopter along with L, Light and Watari, as the rest of the taskforce were tailing Higuchi in police cars.

At one point Higuchi was completely cornered and a notebook was retrieved from him. The said notebook was apparently the method of killings.

If that is truly the case then you had to make sure that Light did not come into contact with the notebook.

Your father brought the notebook to L who held it with his thumb and pointer finger as he looked through the pages.

"Hmm... It seems like writing the name of a person with a known face kills them by a heart attack.." L mumbled to himself as he carefully examined the black notebook with the words 'death note' written on it in white fonts.

L looked forward and smirked a little.

"...so they do exist.."

From the corner of your eye, you saw Light reaching out for the notebook. You had to take action quick so you snatched the notebook from L which ruined Light's chance to touch the notebook.

L looked at you a little offended and so did Light.

"I apologize Ryuzaki but I don't think we should be handling 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 right now. We could possibly tamper the evidence.." You gave L a small forced smile which L knew was fake.

"Nee-chan.. as a member of the taskforce, I have a right to look at the evidence.."

"Of course you do Light! But let's look at it properly when we are back at the task force" you said gently as you pat Light's back.

L suspected this whole interaction, he knew you were hiding something for quite a long time actually. But he did not bring it up because he believed you would tell him yourself. However it seems he would have to have a little talk with you later.

Almost everyone kept touching the notebook to be able to see the shinigami attached to it.

You couldn't stop anything now without being suspicious. Your eyes darted towards Light's watch.

You remember that watch, it has a secret compartment and if you were to think from Kira's perspective, you would keep a piece of paper in that watch compartment.

Before the notebook could be handed to your brother, you called out to him.

"Light! Can I have your watch for a second?... Mine just stopped working.." You said cheekily while smiling sweetly at him.

".. Urm.. Sure" Light said as he handed his watch to you with a nice smile.

"Thanks, you're the best brother ever!" You grinned widely at Light which Light returned slowly. He was definitely suspicious.

You went to a corner while Light finally touched the notebook. He completely froze for some moments before he screamed out loudly. He's definitely getting his memories back.

You quickly opened his watch compartment and took out the piece of paper hidden in there.

Then you looked at your brother. The sinister look was back on his face.

Before Light could do anything with the notebook, Soichiro Yagami took the notebook from his son's hand. You felt relieved.

"What do you have there honey?" L suddenly whispered in your ears from behind you.

You jumped up a little and turned around to look at L towering above you with a small smirk and an unreadable emotion in his eyes. He discreetly wrapped his hand around your waist protectively.

"Let's talk later" L whispered simply as he walked towards the taskforce.

You shoved the piece of paper in your pockets and walked behind L.

Suddenly Light called out to you.

"Nee-chan are you done with my watch?" Light asked you as he walked towards you. You could tell he was very desperate to perhaps kill Higuchi.

"Ah right, here" you nodded and smiled at your little brother before handing the watch to him.

Light grinned ever so slightly as he turned away from you and discreetly opened his watch compartment only to find it empty.

Light looked towards you with disbelief etched on his face. You made eye contact with Kira as you only smiled at him innocently.

You and your brother were so fixated on silently competing that you both failed to realize that the detective was observing your interactions.
