Everyone said good night after the phone call but I stayed up with Near.

"Are you not going to go to sleep?" Near asked while he was playing with his dice.

"I could ask you the same question." I said coming to sit down next to him. I saw him smile a little I knelt down and hugged my knees and watched him build his dice tower.  "So what do we do now?" I asked him.

"We wait. There has to be an opportunity to make Kira reveal himself. We just need to be patient. If we make a bold move then we could all end up dead."

"Makes sense. So we are just going to watch it unfold from now on." Near nodded. "Alright." I said standing up and walking to a draw where I kept my new notepad and pens. Halle had brought me them when she went to but us all some food. I was very gratefully to her. I considered her a good friend, though she did make it clear that she was neither Near's or Mello's side. She just wanted to catch Kira, which I agreed and respected. Everyone was well aware that she was giving Mello information but nobody really cared or said anything about it. It was reviled that Ill Ratt, one of the SPK members that were killed by Kira, that he was feeding information to Mello and the Mafia. That was how Mello knew that the notebook was in the possession of the Japanese police. I went to sit down opposite Near but then he moved some off his toys to leave a space right next to him. He motioned for me to sit down next to him, which I did. We were sat so close that I could feel his body heat coming off him. Part of me just wanted to rest my head on his shoulder but I didn't. That was a stupid idea, so I opened my notepad and began drawing.

We sat there in silence for a couple of hours. Both of us were engrossed on what we were doing, though my mind did keep wondering to the fact that we were so close. It was making me nervous but Near seemed to be perfectly okay with it. Was this weird? Or was I just getting flustered by the fact we were so close? I couldn't tell. Love was strange, it made me feel happy but it also hurt because I knew he didn't feel he same way. I was drawing a picture of a horse on a meadow when I felt a nudge on my arm. I looked up to see Near looking at my drawing.

"That's really pretty." He said. I felt my cheeks grow hotter.

"Thank you." I said looking at his structure. It was a dice tower in the shape of a 'H'. If I was thinking about it, it shouldn't have really been possible but the way he had made the structure made it look like a 'H'. It was like an optical illusion. I stared at it trying to work out who he had done it but no matter which way I looked at it I couldn't work it out. My brain didn't work the way Near's does. I couldn't see how it works.

"Do you like it?" Asked Near. I tore my eyes away from the structure to find Near staring at me.

"Yes, it's amazing."

"Thank you. I made it into a H for you."

"F-for me?" I stuttered. Near nodded.

"H is your letter right? H for Hope and H for Heidi." I smiled at him.

"Well thank you. I was just trying to work out how you did it. It looks very complicated."

"It is quiet simple if you know how. Here I will show you." He said and then he knocked down he whole tower...

I opened my eyes and found that I was lying on the floor of the main room. Light poured in through the widows. It must be morning, I don't remember falling asleep. I then released I was hugging someone. It was Near, I gasped quietly. He had his arms wrapped around my waist and his face was so close to mine that I could feel his soft breathing. I slowly untangled his arms and sat up. There were dice everywhere. That's right, I remembered, last night Near was showing me how he had made that huge H made of dice. Then we must have fallen asleep. There was nobody about so I assumed it was early morning. I can't believe that this had happened. My face went bright red, I tried to stop it but I couldn't. There was nobody around and Near was asleep so I guess it was okay. I buried my face in my knees, still trying to hide the fact I was blushing like crazy from the world.

"Hope?" I heard Near's soft voice say. No, I thought, don't wake up right now. He would see my bright red face.

"Morning Near." I said not lifting my head up so he couldn't see my face.

"You don't need to be embarrassed." He said. Did he see? I questioned. Slowly I lefted my head up to look at him. He was sat up looking at me. I noticed that his cheeks were red too. This time I was sure I wasn't imaganing it. This was real, Near was blushing. The thought made me smile.

"Are you tell me not be embarrassed?" I said. He knew exactly what I was talking about.

"Well, not like that. I mean, last night, when I was teaching you you fell asleep on me. So I laid you down on the floor but you kind of clung on so I laid down too. I must have fallen asleep."

"I'm sorry." I said quietly.

"What for?"

"Falling asleep while you were talking to me, your not boring honestly and also for falling asleep on you. I didn't mean to put you in that awkward position I don't even rem..."

"Hope, it's fine. You were just tired. I guess you aren't really used to staying up so long, I didn't think you think I am boring though it is a relief to hear you say it." I laughed and Near smiled. I noticed over the last couple of days I noticed that Near changed when it was just me and him. He became less formal, more relax, more human.

"Near, why are you so different around other people?" I asked him.

"I don't know. I don't trust them I guess. I just treat everyone like that."

"You trust me?"

"Yeah, I guess I do."

"Well that's good but you should let other people see this side of you. It's nice." I smiled at him which he returned and then Anthony came in the room.

"Morning." He said greeting us both. We both nodded silently. Anthony walked and turned of the tv. He changed the channel to Sakura TV, where Demegawa was just telling everyone about Kira's Kingdom. He claimed that all those who loved Kira should donate money to the building off his castle and that when it was finished Kira would reveal himself and come to live in castle.

"As if people believe that Kira will actually live there." I said. "It seems this really is just a scam and he is just now acting on his own."

"I agree. Kira would never reveal himself if he did have intentions to then he wouldn't go to all this trouble of trying to stop everyone from finding out who he is." 

"Watching this programme might still be good for the investigation though. If this guy really does have connections with Kira then it could be a lead." Said Anthony.

"He probably does have something to do with him as he knew all about us and where we were. It might not be with Kira directly but there is definitely a slight connection between the two." I said.

"Yes but if Kira is Light Yagami then how would he have made contact with him without being caught?"

"The second Kira." I said. "Remember that the member that called us up said that there were two suspects. Maybe he used the second Kira to make contact somehow, that way he isn't doing it and can make the police force themselves the eye witnesses that he didn't. I am willing to bet that the second Kira is someone close to him."

"Yes, commander Rester will you please pass us the file on Light Yagami." The girl inside me squealed at the fact he said 'us' like we were together but I quickly got back on track. Near and I both looked at the file together scanning through it.

"What about her?" I said pointing at a girl. "Misa Amane. She began dating with Light about 4 years ago. That fits in with L's death, and she is also a model, well that proves it. It has to be her."

"What does being a model prove?" Asked Anthony.

"Think about it. If she is a model she will be able to get in touch with Demegawa easily because he works in the media. No one would suspect her because she could just use the excuse of she was looking for work. It all seems to fit. She must have been the one to contact him, not Light. Plus it says here that she lives at home alone at the moment because Light is always working. She isn't being monitored she could very well be doing anything. Maybe even carrying out the judgements of Kira while Light is working. If criminals are still dying when Light is working and around people all day it would make his less of a suspect. It also wouldn't surprise me if this girl had those Shinigami eyes that man was talking about. That would then fit in with the whole rioting thing at our old headquarters."

"How so?" Asked Stephan who I didn't even realise had entered the room. I turned to look at him and saw that Halle was also with him.

"If she does have the eyes then she can see someones name just by looking at there face. That might be way Demegawa wanted them to bring us out in front of the cameras. She would most likely have been watching that programme and when we came out she would probably killed us with the death note. If we died when Light was in front of everyone they won't suspect him. We die and he isn't a suspect, it would be perfect for him."

"Wow, she's good." Said Stephan so quietly that if it wasn't for my for ears I wouldn't have heard it. It made me smile happily and I noticed that Near was staring at me from the corner of my eye.

"Everyone look at the tv." Said Anthony. I looked up and saw that there were four young men on the tv. Demegawa was saying that they were priest for Kira's new church. The first one stepped forward but he collapsed, clutching his chest. Demegawa looked panicked.

"We will unite with Kira." He shouted. The second one fell down on top of the first. The third one fell down the stairs and the last one fell down after him. Demegawa was sweating and he looked terrified. "No please." He said before he had a heart attack and died, just like his comrades...
