"Vissa, stop sulking and tell me what happened." L says whlie still staring at his computer screen. I was at the task force headquarters, currently sulking in the corner of the room and hugging my stuffed teddy bear, Aristotle. I mumbled my rantings to Aristotle in his ear whilst glaring at anything that crossed over my vision. Nobody but L and Watari were here at task force, he had given all of them the morning off so we could talk.

"It doesn't matter." I grumble, but my voice says otherwise. He sighs and turns from the computer to look at me.

"I can't work when you're pouting like that. It's quite impossible to ignore my depressed sister, so please tell me what it is that has upset you so when can destroy it and be done with it." He says and I scoff and glower at him.

"It's nothing important, really. Don't worry about it." I murmur into Aristotle's ear, hugging the teddy bear to my chest as I sat up and crossed my legs.

"Well you're mumbling to yourself-" He cuts off when I glare sharply at him. "-I mean to that stuffed bear and it's quite annoying. So I've come to the conclusion that there is a seventy-five percent chance it's about a guy and a sixty-seven percent chance it's Light Yagami. Am I correct?" He asks and I  shake my head vigorously.

"It is not." I insist. "I'm just upset." I sulk.

"Well while you are sulking can you tell me how likely it is Light is Kira?" He asks and I shift in my position, setting Aristotle next to me and crossing my arms over my chest.

"eighty-seven percent that he is Kira." I say and he nods.

"I believe that Light is Kira however he keeps proving us all wrong. How?" He asks and there is a hint of frustration in his voice. I feel guilt wash over me. I knew exactly why but I wasn't able to tell him, I couldn't. It's been a rule for a long time that I am not allowed to directly tell anyone who I am, they have to figure it out and then if they do I can either erase their memories or let them know the secret but make them keep their mouth shut about it. Most cases I erased memories but there were those few who knew, as in Kira and the second Kira. What people I hang out with.

"I wish I knew too." I say softly and his eyes snap to mine.

"You know, don't you?" He asks suddenly.

"I wish I did." I correct. "I only know a few things that you already know. Light's a tricky person and it's hard to gather any information on him." I respond smoothly. Both of our expressions are calculating but he sighs and turns his chair back around.

"Fine, I will take that answer for now. But I'll expect a better one in time." He says and continues to study the screen. I don't respond and look at the screen, my eyes scanning everything he'd gathered about Kira and Light. I knew all of it. I check my phone and see school starts in a half hour.

"L I have to get to school." I say with a sigh. He nods and waves me off.

"Goodbye wonderful sister." He says. I laugh half heartedly.

"Goodbye dear brother." I respond lightly and skip out of the task force, making sure to see that no one is watching and then cross the street and head over towards the university which wasn't too far off. When I get there, I'm late like always but go through my class schedule until I have my last class, with Light. 'Just ignore him' I think. I take a deep breath and walk into the classroom and avoiding all looks, including one persons I sit down in my usual seat, right next to Light who smiles politely at me but there's a smug smirk behind his eyes.

I glare at him fiercly and pull out a notebook and pen and started to actually listen to the lesson when a note flicked over to me.

'Ignoring me now?' He wrote to me. I reluctantly right back.
