L's Pov

I'm almost certain of it.

(Y/N) is Kira.

But...

Something tells me that I'm wrong to suspect her.

My suspicions point to Light Yagami and Misa Amane being Kira, but (Y/N)'s actions are very suspicious too.

It's complicated, and depressing. I didn't want to suspect (Y/N), but I really have no choice here.

I've planted cameras in (Y/N)'s room to see for myself if she really is Kira.

The truth will be revealed soon...

-Time Skip To Next Day-

I was continuing to watch (Y/N)'s actions through the monitors, whilst doing other work on my laptop.

She was only filing reports, but it just seems like she has something to hide. I am certain that (Y/N) won't tell me what's wrong with her, so I have no choice but to find out for myself.

"Wait! What's that?!" I heard Light shout and quickly stand up from his seat.

He seemed to be pointing at the monitor that displayed (Y/N). I looked up from my computer and at the monitor to see what Light was talking about.

My eyes widened.

(Y/N) had pulled out a black notebook. It looked exactly like a-

"(Y/N) has a Death Note!" I heard Misa scream.

"Why would (Y/N) have that?!" Matsuda asked.

'Why does she have that notebook?' I thought. 'Her actions have been strange, but...'

"This proves it! (Y/N) is the true Kira!" Aizawa stated.

"I'll arrest her", Mogi said, grabbing a pair of handcuffs.

"No!" I said, and got up from my seat. I walked over to Mogi and took the handcuffs from him.

"I'll do it..." I sigh.

I walked up the stairs of the taskforce towards (Y/N)'s room. When I reached it, I hesitated to open it.

'(Y/N), I care deeply about you. Why did you become Kira?'

I sighed and opened the door to find (Y/N) filing reports as usual. As I walked in, she looked up to see me.
She smiled a big smile and threw an arm up in the air to wave at me.

"Hey Ryuzaki!", she said in a bubbly tone, before turning back to her laptop, still smiling. "I'm almost done filing all these reports, so I'll get them to you soon. Sorry that I'm taking so long!"

"Take your time" I say. "You don't wanna miss anything out".

She nodded and still continued to type.

'She seems so happy. Why did this have to happen?'

"As much as my soul hurts to do this right now-" I walked over to (Y/N) and grabbed her wrist, "-(Y/N) (L/N), I arrest you on suspicion of being Kira". I put the handcuffs on her wrist.

She looked at me shocked.

"Th-There has to be some sort of m-mistake!" She stuttered.

"We have evidence that you wrote in that Death Note" I say, pointing to the black notebook sitting on her bed.

(Y/N) turned to look at the notebook, before turning to look at me. She had tears in her eyes. I was shocked.

"That's not a real Death Note", she says, almost crying.

"What?" I ask, confused.

She got out of my grip and grabbed the notebook.

"It's a fake my friend gave to me".

"Well, why did you accept it?" I ask.

"My friend was moving to another country and gave me this pretend Death Note as a way to remember her", (Y/N) says through sniffles.

"Do you know what country your friend is in?" I ask her.

(Y/N) shook her head. "No. She didn't tell me".

"I understand", I sigh.

"Look! I haven't written anything in it! Honest!" (Y/N) flicked through the pages in the book. It was all blank.

Until I spotted a certain name...

"Who's name is that?!" I ask, putting my finger on the page, stopping (Y/N) from flicking the pages.

I heard (Y/N) gasp and quickly snatch the notebook away from me.

"It's no one's", she said, holding the notebook close to her chest.

"(Y/N)! I'm serious! Who is it?!" I ask, giving her a very serious look.

(Y/N) started crying!

No! It couldn't be...

"It's my name..." (Y/N) whispered.

My eyes widened with shock.

"You wrote your own name...You want to...die...?!" I struggled to get the words out.

(Y/N) nodded slowly and dropped to her knees. She started sobbing into her hands.

'It's been more than 40 seconds since (Y/N) wrote her name and she isn't dead' I thought to myself. 'I'm so glad, but...'

I kneeled down next to (Y/N) and pulled her into a tight hug, squeezing her tight. I heard her gasp a little at my sudden actions.

"Ryuzaki..." I heard her whisper.

I felt tears come to my eyes as I hugged (Y/N) tighter. Before I knew it, I was sobbing into her shirt.

'That's why she was acting strange! It was a sign of depression!' I thought.

"Why?! Why would you want to do that?!" I almost shout at her.

"I can't do this anymore Ryuzaki! The stress is becoming too much to bare! I've lost loved ones recently and my friend moved away and left me!" She sobbed louder and soaked my shirt with her tears.

"And now with Kira on the loose, all these people that have died just make me think of the people I've lost and how life is just so cruel!"

Her words scared me. I didn't really know what to say.

I pulled away from the hug and stared into (Y/N)'s eyes.

"Life's problems don't have simple answers", I say to her. "Life isn't easy, it is difficult. I felt the same way. But there's no need to think like this (Y/N). I know it's tough losing loved ones and your friend moving away, but I guarantee that things will get better! You just have to keep going!"

(Y/N) was silent. She looked at the floor.

"I'm certain that your loved ones and your friend wouldn't want you to end it here (Y/N), would they?"

She shook her head.

"And what about me?!" I ask her. "If you were to die, I don't know what I would do with myself! Do you really want to see me like that?!"

"No! I would never-"

"Then why are you thinking these things if you don't know what the outcome will be?!" I yell at her, through my tears.

"I didn't think I was that special..." (Y/N) made eye contact with everything except me.

I pulled her into another tight hug.

"Maybe it's because you don't get reminded enough of how special you really are (Y/N)! You are beautiful, talented, smart and very, very special!" I pulled away and stared deeply into her eyes again to show that I meant what I said.

"You think so...?" (Y/N) asked, giving me a sad smile.

"I know so", I tell her as I lean in and kiss her forehead.

She giggled.

"Thank you Ryuzaki..." She whispered. "It's people like you who give me the courage to keep going. You have no idea how grateful I am! You are very caring!"

"Do you really think I'd let you die here (Y/N)?" I ask her. "You're far too young!"

(Y/N) leaned in and kissed my lips, which I quickly returned. It was sweet and I loved it. I wrapped my arms around her waist as (Y/N) wrapped hers around my neck.

We pulled away to gasp for air.

"I promise to make life more fun for you when we catch the true Kira", I say, giving (Y/N) a small smile.

"You don't have to go out of your way to do that for me!" (Y/N) says.

"I have to (Y/N). Because you are special and I want to show that to you", I gave her a bigger smile, which she returned.

"Thank you..." She said.

I helped her up. "Now, let's go and catch the real Kira" I say.

I know (Y/N) may still feel depressed, but I will do all that I can to make her happy.

I'm not letting her die.
