Seiyou paused as she smiled. Finally, her research had paid off. Now she could clearly see…

Several people around the new singer Nakamura Red had died, though only one was from heart attack. Still, she might have a link to Kira…

Or she could even be the second Kira! Seiyou clicked the window closed with a satisfied expression. Finally, she had a lead.

Better yet, if Red was the second Kira and Wataru was the first Kira, she could kill two birds with one stone…

It would not take long.

It was perfect. Only the task force members – Sakaki, and his three subordinates, Kyou and Kosaburou and Machisu, along with Utsugi Hakase knew she was S.

Therefore, if she died in the next few days, it would prove that Wataru was obviously Kira. She had explained this to Sakaki, who had been horrified to find out, but… justice would prevail.

She smiled.

It had been simple to determine that none of the few men who had been willing to continue fighting evil was Kira. After all, none of them had tried to kill her, and she could see in their eyes that they were innocent.

But when she had glanced at Wataru, she had seen nothing but her own reflection.

Why was that girl so hard to read?

It was a sad thing that she might have to leave them. There were very few who wanted to confront Kira dead on – ever since Kira had killed those FBI agents, many of the policemen had resigned, not wishing to run into the killer.

After all, if Kira killed all who opposed him, it was too dangerous!

And if Kira only needed a name and a face to kill… well, what could they do but beware? And yet…

She wanted to believe that the good would triumph over evil. Was that so wrong?

She was interrupted from her musings when she heard Sakaki’s cell phone ring. The police chief picked up with a smile, as he mouthed family before he talked. After a few minutes, he nodded.

“I’m sorry to leave now, Seiyou, but I have a date with Hanako that I’ve been putting off, and…”

She smiled. “It’s all right, Sakaki-san. I’ll see you later.”

Sakaki nodded, pocketed his false ID – for it was dangerous to carry his real name, what with Kira around, and left.

Kyou was still busy typing away on the computer, matching up heart attack victims in other probable patterns. Kosaburou and Machisu were eating a hasty dinner, and that was when Utsugi rushed in.

“Seiyou! You have to see what Sakura T.V. is airing!”

“Sakura T.V.?” Seiyou asked, flicking the set on. The announcer speaking looked terrified, but as he spoke, she could feel rage begin to boil in her mind.

Damn you Kira… when did you make this move…?

As two men on separate channels died of heart attacks, even as Kira’s mechanized voice continued to speak, she shivered.

This was insane! She had to do something quickly but what? When they tried to call Sakura television, the lines were busy, and so Kosaburou rushed out the door and got into his car, with the intention of heading there and stopping the broadcast.

“I do not consider the police my enemies, but my allies in the fight against evil.” Kira spoke. “If we all worked together, surely the world would become a better place for everyone. I do not wish to kill innocent people, so even if you dislike me, if you refrain from publishing your views in the media, you will be spared…”

“This is bad.” Machisu growled. “If this keeps up, our whole reputation will be shot to hell!”

“Well, we have to do something, but I am sure…” Kyou froze as he stared at the television set. “Kosaburou!”

The man had just collapsed in front of the building.

“B-But… how?” Kyou gasped. “He was carrying his fake identification only.”

Seiyou frowned. “This can’t be…”

“Does Kira know our real names then?” Machisu growled. “S! I had a feeling something was suspicious about you, and even though I dismissed the claims that you had created Kira just to pull off the perfect crime, I can find no other explanation! You know all our names! Don’t even try to pin this one on Meiji Wataru!”

“Machisu…” Kyou said warningly, but the other man brushed him off.

“It’s obvious! This proves it! S! You’re really Kira, aren’t you!”

S took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. Kosaburou was dead… and now Machisu was accusing her of being Kira… and she had just started compiling data on Nakamura Red… why were things happening so quickly?

“No.” She said softly. “The only thing I can conclude now is that Kira – or a second Kira – needs only a face to kill.”

“Only a face….” Kyou shuddered. “But then anyone else who goes to that studio will be in danger!”

“Exactly. Kyou, can you call the Director of the NPA? Tell him to stop any more police officers from rushing to the scene, or else an even grater tragedy will happen!”

Kyou nodded, and hurriedly dialed Director Kikuko. She was most displeased, but she agreed to send out a message to all the units not to go to Sakura T.V.

Kira…

Had she really done the right thing? She wanted to keep her people safe, and that was why she had prohibited direct work with S, and allowed many to resign from the Kira task force, but now…

Things were coming to this…

“That turned out nicely.” Wataru said, dropping herself and Red down in an alley behind Sakura television. Red smiled as she watched Wataru retract her wings.

“I bet that threw S for a loop, ne?”

“Mm.” Wataru agreed. “Now shall we finish our date?”

Red grinned as she linked arms with her girlfriend and the two of them walked into a crowd of bustling people, followed by two floating Shinigami.
