Chapter 4

~The human who touches the DEATH NOTE can recognize the image and voice of it's original owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note.~

The room was pitch black except for the small illumination coming from the single laptop screen on the floor. It beeped and someone walked over to it, and just stood there, waiting. After a while the screen beeped a few times and Watari appeared.

"L." he said. L leaned down on one knee, half sitting, half standing up, just enough to look at the computer screen directly. He picked up the pages with the F.B.I. agents' identities on each of them. "We brought the F.B.I. to Japan four days ago," said Watari. "They're fully operational. As requested they are now gathering intel on the police."

"And this is the complete list?" L asked.

"Yes," said Watari right away. L began to look over the pages.

There are 141 people in the police force who have access to classified information regarding the investigation, he thought to himself. I'm sure that somewhere in this list of police officers and the people closest to them, he set the pages down infront of him, which lightly swiped away a few of them, landing on Chief Soichiro Yagami's picture, -we will find our suspect.

~If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note.~

"Light, you got a second?" asks Ryuk as Light walks back to his house during the night. He gives an annoyed sigh and mumbles as quietly as he can to Ryuk, who's floating behind him.

"I already told you, Ryuk. You can't talk to me in public. How many times do I have to tell you?"

"In that case I'll talk and you just listen. If you don't wanna hear me, you can plug your ears or something." Light didn't know what to do. Normally Ryuk doesn't sound so serious, and he would just ignore him or go through it, but this time he sounds slightly different. He has no choice but to listen. He barley turns his head to face Ryuk and continues to walk.

"First of all, I don't have anything against you. I actually think the Notebook couldn't have been picked up by a better person. I'm here 'cause I have to stick around 'till the Death Note is finished or I see you die, which ever comes first. But make no mistake, Light, I'm not on your side or L's side." Light turns his head back, facing fowards.

"Yeah, well I knew that much already." he murmurs.

"Well, you'll never hear me say anything about whether what you're doing is right or wrong. I'm not here to support you or give you my opinion, I'm just a spectator. But as your roommate I might have a few things to say now and then."

"What's this about, Ryuk? Why are you telling me all this stuff now anyway?" Light asks him. "It's really not like you."

"It's just that I'm no ally of yours or Kira's if you prefer. The only reason I'm gonna tell you this is because personally it's starting to creep me out."

"Get to the point already." Light demands, sounding annoyed. He could hear Ryuk let out a small laugh as his smile got wider.

"You're being followed by an other human. He's watching you right now." Light stops dead in his tracks, and calmly tries to look behind him by turning his eyes to their corners as far as they could go, but he doesn't turn his head. He continues to walk the familar path to his home, this time being aware of all of his actions. Did his stalker hear him? "It's really starting to get on my nerves. I realized there's no way he can see me, but because I'm always following behind you where ever you go, I feel like I'm constantly being watched."

That's a problem, Light thinks. I'll have to get rid of him as soon as possible.
