Great Minds Think Alike

"You see, almost every situation has been a group or gang turning on itself and killing each other. But almost half of the people involved in these cases have been in the news at some point in time. Assuming that Kira used the same tactics as last time, we can conclude that he kills people who have been seen on tv or in news articles." Yamishi took a moment and looked to see Ryuzaki had his thumb in his mouth, knees in his chest and eyes on Yamishis eyes. He was in every sense engaged in what Yami was saying.

So Yamishi continued "Further, L had discovered that Kira needs a name and a face to match it to be able to kill someone. We also know the rumours of a Death God and a notebook being involved. Finally, with all this information, we must make sure to be open to any and all religions or even magic. These are real documents written by L and therefore must be taken seriously."

Ryuzaki took his thumb from his mouth, "I'm not going to ask how you accessed this information as it wouldn't serve me any benefits. Anyway, I'm very happy to say that you live up to my expectations. I came to the exact same conclusion not too long ago."

Yamishi put on a friendly smile, "Great minds think alike..."

"Yami, I'd like to hire you to work under me, we think alike and therefore I believe our skills when put together will greatly improve our chances of catching Kira."

Yamishi had expected this and therefore planned for it. "I accept your offer, however, I'm not sure how useful I'll be considering I still must go to school."

"Yamishi, tell me, when was the last time you actually learnt something new at school?" Ryuzaki said.

"I would have to say around 2 and a half years ago in geography. I see what you're saying."

"Yes, then I don't see any point in you attending to school any-" Ryuzaki was halfway through his sentence when Yamishi interrupted.

"Although I may not be learning something new every day, I would still like to attend school as usual."

Ryuzaki had a confused face, "I don't see any logical reasoning in this, please explain."

"Knowledge isn't the only benefit of school. This is my teenage youth, I will help you however I would like to continue school."

Of course, the only real reason Yamishi needed to continue school is that he had been writing down that people would die continuously throughout the day, and with him attending school made him look less suspicious. Apart from this, there was also a need to keep and maintain his popularity and friendships. These would come in useful in the future.

"Well I'm not here to force anything on you, so that will be fine. I'll sort out reasonable time schedules for you to work."

"Thank you Ryuzaki."

....

The group went back to discussing the Kira investigation and the Yagami family was brought up a few times.

"I'm aware that Light Yagami was found out to be Kira in the past, but we can't just assume he hasn't come back. We're dealing with Death Gods and books of death here" Yamishi stated.

Yamishis father had a confused expression on his face, "What do you mean Light Yagami? how does he have anything to do with this investigation?"

Watari finally opened his mouth, "Mr Yagami, do you remember the rough time when Light Yagami should have died? It would have been roughly 60 to 70 years by now right."

Me Yamishis face looked pale, "You don't mean?"

Watari continued "Yes Mr Yagami, the last Kira was discovered to be one of your own family. Kira was Light Yagami. When the previous Kira task force found out of his existence he was shot and later found dead. Something strange was that he had died of a heart attack, not the bullet."

Yamishi spoke again "So what your saying is that when Kira is to die, he suffers a heart attack instead. I believe this may be the work of the Death Gods. I did my research on them and they supposedly take the remaining life of a human and add it to their own. This can be seen throughout Japanese history."

Ryuzaki continued from where Yamishi left off, "We should have a team working on looking at anything to do with shinigami, while the rest of us work on Kira."

"I'll get right to organising it" Watari left the room and Mr Yagami followed behind.

"Now that they're gone, let's go over everything uncovered by L and his investigation team, shall we?" Yamishi questioned.

Ryuzaki tapped the desk he was sitting on and out popped a screen the two sat next to each other and began looking through all the records from 70 years ago.

"Wait, what's this?"
