Supernatural Death Note

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Monster 101

Dean did not awaken the entire night. If there were dreams, he did not remember them. He awoke at a knock at the door the next morning.

Watari was smiling, holding a tray. "Good morning, Dean."

Dean yawned softly. "It's morning? I don't remember going to sleep last night. Damn, I slept good. Bless Near."

"I take it the meditation exercise helped?"

"I guess it did. I only remember not wanting to stop."

He smiled. "It's a great exercise to allow the mind a chance to rest and renew." The tray was set on the table and the older man helped Dean out of bed.

"I can't remember ever waking and feeling like this. I like it." He smiled and went to the bathroom and then headed to the table. "Well, what new thing am I gonna learn to like today?"

"We have an omelet, bagel and creamed cheese, as well as fruit."

Dean grinned, "What? Nothing new? Or does the omelet actually have meat in it? Wait, it's the tea, right?"

"Green tea," he answered with a smile. "And yes, the omelet has meat, mushrooms, vegetables, and cheese."

"Really? Oh, this is awesome. Watari, what time do lessons start today? Also, are there sessions today? Does L plan on doing them with Sam and me together?"

"Lessons begin in an hour. Allows you time to eat and clean up. I do believe L will be there."

"He's gonna take the classes? Good. He needs to."

Watari nodded.

"Are you taking them too?"

"I will be sitting in, yes."

"I'm glad. All of you need to know what's out there. You've crossed one that I didn't even know what it was, so knowing the basics and even a little more is a good idea."

Another nod came from Watari. "Indeed."

"Watari? Is something going on? You are not usually this talkative."

He chuckled softly "No, I've been up for hours sifting through potential cases. I've had help but it's still a lot to go through."

Dean grinned, then looked serious. "Anything unusual?"

"The usual that I can tell."

"Yeah, but you never know. I bet you thought the last one was the usual."

"True enough," he admitted. "I'm going to have to alter the parameters of the sifting through the cases."

"Might be a good idea. You'll know what kind of team to put together, if you widen the parameters to include the unusual."

"L has said you will be on call if something like that comes up."

"Sam doesn't know about that. I don't want to lie to him, so I'm gonna have to talk to L about what is allowed and what's not allowed."

He nodded. "I'm sure something can be worked out for that."

"I hope so."

A small smile was given to the man. "I know so. This is L we're talking about."

"I know, but he said keep Sam out of the loop, but things have changed some."

"All you have to do is talk to him."

"Oh, I'm going to. Just thought of it though. Speaking of Sam, where is he? He normally eats breakfast with me."

Watari laughed quietly. "Matt challenged him early this morning to some sort of video game. I'm going to have to drag them apart later for class."
