Pushing his luck?

"Bye-bye brother, try not to miss me too much ok? Love you!" said Amelia as she was wearing her shoes, preparing to head out.

"Don't worry too much about me, just go enjoy your time with your friends. Bring them over when you have some time. I would like to thank them for taking care of my troublesome little sister." chuckled Alma as he helps to smoothen the creases of his sister's clothes and fix the ribbon tying her hair.

"Hmph, what do you mean by that. I'm all grown up though, but sure. I'll bring them over during the holidays." pouted Amelia as she grabbed her stuff, ready to start her day.

"Alright, bring back some souvenirs for me from your study trip this time ok? Now go along or you'll be late. Love you." said Alma as he waved his hand towards Amelia.

"Alrighty, see you soon brother!" replied Amelia as she returned the wave and left the house.

Smiling happily at her shenanigans, Alma thought about what to do today after his sister has left for school for this week.

"Hmm..." hummed Alma as scratched his chin.

"What to do? Ah, right, the Kira investigation! Since I have some time this week, why not go check up on how it is going, might take this time to see how the education system works in Japan. I've long heard about the fame of To-Oh University. I should go and have some fun sightseeing in the place." muttered Alma before exclaiming with joy. Happy that he managed to think of some excuse so that he can go to Japan to help the case.

"It's not that I really want to stroll around the place and try the many authentic Japanese delicacies, nope. I just want to help with the Kira case, yup. It's important, so I shall say it twice." said Alma happily to himself as he wrote down a note to his sister about how he is going to visit Japan to perform a research visit on how their education is done. Alma also left a message on his sister's phone informing her about his travel, and that she shouldn't worry about him too much just in case he can't make it home by this week.

"Now then, done with writing the reminders, better go pack up my bags. I'll leave today! Now, where did I leave the food catalogue and the travel brochure...."

"It's for buying souvenirs for Amelia. Definitely not for myself. I am going to focus on the case... Yeah, who am I kidding? Sushi, here I come!" exclaimed Alma while packing his bag with excitement.

(Meanwhile in Alma's inner mind,

Cook: You sure it is a good idea for the traveller to actually be travelling?

Informant: Why? Isn't it appropriate?

Sis-Loving-Brother: You think he won't end up in some troublesome situation again like last time right?

Scholar: I hope so, but he always seems to get into trouble when he goes out.

Sis-Loving-Brother: Hey! Why did my name change again?!

Informant: Why? You don't like it? You seemed to have to mention that you wanted to change it last time.

Sis-Loving-Brother: Well, after spending a lot of time with something, you kinda grow attached to it ya know?

Scholar: Hehe, so you have truly accepted being called a sis-con?

Lawyer: So you have discovered your true calling. Don't worry, I shall support your endeavour.

Sis-Loving-Brother: No! That isn't what I meant~!

Cook: Let's just hope traveller has a safe trip this time.

Everyone: I think you just jinxed him.

Cook: ...

Cook: I hate you guys.

Sis-Loving-Brother: And we love you too~ )

Ignorant of what is happening inside his mind, Alma 'Traveller' Laune, is currently happily singing to himself as he packed his bags, exited for the trip to come.

Will he actually reach Japan? Will he have a safe trip like 'Cook' hope it to be? Will he actually remember where to go? Find out next time in Dragon Bal- *slap*- Ahem, *cough* copyright infringement *cough*.

As the search for Kira progresses, L, in order to determine who to trust in the police force, commissioned FBI agents to investigate the various members of the police force taking part in this case. Of course, the police members remain unaware of them being investigated.

Following this, many police members, as well as their family members, will be investigated secretly by the FBI agents due to L's deduction that Kira is someone that has access to the police system and that Kira is able to obtain their information.

As the covert investigation continues, Light eventually discovered that someone was investigating his family and has been observing him for a few days after being informed of it by the Shinigami Ryuk. Realising that ignoring the investigation is not viable due to a chance of him becoming a possible suspect as time passes.

Hence, Light, deciding that becoming a possible suspect is not an option, began to figure out a solution to solve this situation. To do so, Light figured out that finding out the identity of the person investigating him is imperative in making the situation much simpler to resolve.

Observing this situation, shinigami Ryuk became rather talkative for once. Ryuk began talking to Light regarding how shinigami's use their death note. Ryuk explained that shinigami is able to extend their life by using the remaining lifespan of a person killed by a death note. Ryuk spoke of how the world of the shinigami remains stagnant due to the fact that shinigami essentially could life forever which leads to them losing the motivation to progress.

Light listening to what Ryuk said, optimistically told the shinigami that he could learn from the human world and to bring the useful knowledge back to the shinigami world to help promote progression. Ryuk, after listening to Light's response, followed up by informing that while shinigami are able to extend their lifespan using the death note, the humans using the death note are unable to do so.

Ryuk listed that as the first difference between them before telling Light about something else the shinigami is able to do. Ryuk spoke that they, the shinigami, are able to just look down on the human world and select the person whom they want to kill, essentially shortening the lifespan of said person. Hearing this, Light just scoffs at it, saying that it could just be luck in play as Ryuk noted that the shinigami usually just selects the first person they see among the crowd.

Following that response, Ryuk said something that shocked Light. The shinigami Ryuk said that their eyes are able to see the name and lifespan of a person, as well as the ability to conduct a deal with the person using the death note. A trade that involves halving both their lifespan in order to exchange their eyes.

Light was caught speechless, shocked at this revelation but recovered quickly in a while before rejecting the trade. Light explained that in order to see the success of his dream, he has to have a long life. Hearing of his resolve, Ryuk was stunned before truly acknowledging that Light is truly already a splendid shinigami.

After this short interlude, Light managed to obtain some inspiration from the rules written in the death note itself. Utilising the fact that if he writes the reason for death, he will have an additional six minutes and forty seconds to write the specific details of the death. From this, Light proposed an experiment to test its limits.

An experiment where he tests how specific the details have to be using a list of convicts he set aside for any unexpected situations. In order to prevent the investigation from progressing even further where they become more thorough, Light decided that the current situation, where they are merely observing, is the best time to proceed.

Utilising the ability to control the specific actions of a person before their death, Light then planned out a few situations to toss out some clues to the police in order to create a distraction for his true plan. Some of the victims wrote some weird suicide note while some others drew a peculiar diagram. Using these to form some insignificant riddle that diverts the investigations attention towards trying to solve it, Light's true plan was able to proceed smoothly.

Utilizing the excuse of having a date, Light was able to move around outside towards the park with a girl that he invited for the date. Through this action, Light was able to make the person observing him follow him up onto the bus that is heading to the park in order to not lose track of him.

Through using the control of the death note, Light forced a criminal to hijack the bus during the middle of the journey towards the park. The criminal, being armed, was able to cause a scene as Light planned.

Light, noticing that the person observing him is sitting behind him, produced a note to show the person that he, as a son of the police chief, is planning to do something about the hijacker and that he should help assist him when he takes action.

Through the understanding that the person observing him is somewhat related to the police force, Light, using the note was able to manipulate the person's sense of justice to show his true identity to him. Obtaining the identification card, Light finally knows the identity of the person observing him, which is an FBI agent named Raye Penber.

Through one of the functions of the death note, where any person who touches it is able to see the shinigami from then on, Light managed to trick the hijacker to touch it. Thereby scaring the hijacker into wasting the bullets of his gun before screaming in fear and running out of the bus resulting in the hijacker's death as the bus they were in were still moving on the middle of the road.

With the death of the hijacker and the name of the FBI agent, Light's plan was completed without a hitch. Raye Penber, after informing Light that he should keep his identity a secret, left the scene in a hurry in order to not be involved with the police.

With the information he has obtained, Light began to plan on how to remove the interference of the FBI. Through the investigation of Raye Penber's identity, Light was then able to manipulate him to reveal all the FBI agents active in Japan due to this cause. Following this, Light was able to conduct an elaborate plan to eliminate them through the use of death note in a way that is unable to leave behind any clues, leading to the death of all twelve FBI agents in Japan.

On a side note, Alma was coincidentally on the same bus, but he was asleep for the entirety of the trip. The gunshots from the hijacking failed to wake him up due to him wearing headphones to muffle out any sound. Alma can be seen sleeping due to the jet lag he is experiencing after arriving in Japan. Alma was eventually awakened by the police that arrived to deal with the hijacking incident. Alma was then required to detour over to the police station to record a statement. Exasperated, Alma wondered what had he done to deserve all this trouble on his first day in Japan.

---

With the death of all the FBI agents in Japan, the FBI finally decided to withdraw from this case after much deliberation by the higher-ups. L has then lost the support of the FBI and he also incurred the distrust of all the police that are part of the investigation by investigating them behind their back.

Originally, the main reason the FBI agent named Raye Penber came to Japan was to meet the parents of his fiancee as they were to be married soon. The investigation request asked by L to be conducted by the FBI is merely another excuse for him to go to Japan. Now with his death, his fiancee is left grieving.

His fiancee, Misara Naomi, as an ex-FBI agent was able to discover the cause of Raye Penbers death soon enough. Unable to accept the death of her fiance as merely an accident, she soon concluded that his death was a result of Kira. Angry and reluctant to merely accept his death, she decided to take matters not her own hands to find proof that it was Kira who killed her fiance and to find out and capture Kira with her own hands.

Investigating the clues eventually led her to the conclusion that Raye Penber must have met Kira during the bus hijacking incident as the situation during that time felt very suspicious to her. Naomi, after looking through the results of her investigation, came to a shocking conclusion, that Kira could kill people with methods other than heart attacks.

Naomi soon came to a realization that this could be a very important clue that could be a great help towards the investigation as it would then provide more explanation and clues to get closer to finding Kira. Thinking so, she decided to quickly pass on the news towards L whom she knows could use this information more accurately. This is because she had worked with L before on a case two years ago and knows of L's capabilities.

Thus, this leads her to approach the police headquarters where the investigation regarding the Kira case was conducted. Uknown to her, that due to the FBI withdrawing their support, L had to take things into his own hand and show himself on the front lines. Additionally, due to the extra measures that L had taken to ensure the secrecy of the investigation, had moved to another venue and so, there wasn't anyone available at the headquarters.

Due to this, while asking the receptionists to help contact those responsible for the case, Misara Naomi soon came face to face with Light Yagami who came to pass something to his father.

Noticing her at the reception desk, Light Yagami introduced himself as the son of the chief before letting her know about the withdrawal of the FBI's support and that many investigators had resigned, fearing that their life might be in danger if they continued to investigate Kira.

Light Yagami then spoke of his thoughts that the remaining investigators might be taking a break now and could not be contacted currently. Light, curious about the Naomi as she seemed to be rather intelligent. In order to be cautious, Light asked her to have a talk regarding what she is worried about.

Naomi, thinking she had found a like-minded person, told Light about her conjecture. That Kira seems to have some type of supernatural power. Thinking that talking about the issue in the police station to be unwise, Light proposed heading outside to talk in order to prevent any eavesdropping.

As Light tried to probe the information from Naomi and find out her name, Naomi too is being cautious while continuing the back and forth between the two of them regarding the methods of Kira. As Light became more and more certain that Naomi will become a threat to his plans, he became thinking of how to get rid of her.

A little ways away from them, a man with a muffler could be seen rubbing his hands as he exhaled warm air to try to keep his hands warm. This young man, Alma, could be seen walking down the street while wearing a grey hoodie and a white muffler.

"Argh, how did I even get lost anyway? Why did I forget to send a notice to To-Oh university to inform them of my visit? How did I end up in a police station on my first day here? How unlucky am I? Wasted so much time... *sigh* " ranted Alma with a face of frustration thinking of why did he even bother to go out to travel in the first place.

"Hmm? Who's that pretty lady up front that looks rather familiar? Where had I seen such a black-haired Japanese beauty before? Think Alma, think." muttered Alma as he tapped his forehead. This action letting out a soft impact sound because his hands are covered with a fluffy wool glove.

*pomf pomf*

"Aha, I finally remember where I had seen her before, but hot damn. She's really rocking that black leather outfit. Not sure how effective leather would be in protecting someone from the cold though, or is it just me who is unused to the cold weather of Japan during this period of time?" wondered Alma inwardly before deciding to approach them to give his greetings.

"-I have no regrets. I want to join the team." said Naomi seriously towards Light. Light, who was about to give a reply was suddenly interrupted by a cheerful voice.

"Heya missy, how had you been? It's been a long time since we last met though, so I wonder whether you would still remember me?" said Alma joyfully towards Naomi as he interrupted the conversation between the two.

The two-person plus an extra shinigami was shocked at the sudden interruption, shocked at not noticing another person approaching so close and worried that Alma might have heard what they were talking about before.

A moment of silence ensures as both Noami and Light remained silent.

"Umm, what? Did I do something wrong here? Is this not how someone usually greet another person? Does Japan have another way of greeting each other?" asked Alma confusedly at the silent reception he is receiving. He scratched his head, thinking about what did he do wrong.

Seeing that Light wasn't speaking and that the man in front of them addressed her first, she braced herself to change the weird atmosphere that had appeared when Alma cut into their conversation.

"Umm, may I ask who are you? I don't seem to remember you."

"Argh! You hurt my feelings. Though it had been quite a while since we last met." exclaimed Alma, dramatically clutching his heart as though his feeling had been betrayed. He then stopped his acting before passing an ID to Naomi.

"Here is my ID, I'm Alma Laune. I had met you a few years ago in Europe along with Raye Penber."

"Reserve FBI agent, Arlma Laune. This ID is entirely authentic. Come to think of it, I think I kind of remember you. We had a meeting in a nearby cafe during that time with Raye in Europe."

"Yeah, that's the one. We were collaborating with L to investigate a case during that time. Something about a Los Angeles serial murderer. Is there really a big difference to my look that made you unable to recognise me?"

"It has been a while and I need some time to gather my thoughts. Nice to see you again, I think?"

"Well, I'll settle with that greeting for now. By the way, I heard you got engaged with Raye Penber quite some time ago? Good for you! Congratulations! Where is Raye anyway? If he noticed you going out with this handsome young man out here all alone he might just be jealous you know?" chuckled Alma as he looked around as though to look for Raye. Not noticing that his question had accidentally touched Naomi's soft spot.

"I... regarding Raye... he had passed away a while ago..." muttered Naomi sadly.

"Oh... I'm sorry for your loss. Apologies for my inappropriate behaviour." stuttered Alma before apologising to Naomi.

"It is fine. Now I just want to bring his killer to justice!" said Naomi as she clenched her hand in determination.

"His killer? Don't tell me.. was it related to the Kira case that is being investigated here?" asked Alma as he noticed the peculiarity of her sentence.

"Yes, I might not have proof but my instincts tells me that it was Kira who killed him. I had conducted some investigations on my own and I decided to pass on my findings to L to help in their investigation."

"I see. There, there. It must be though. You are truly a strong woman. I believe you can truly bring him to justice. It's alright, I'll help support you."

"Thank you for your kind intentions. Regarding this matter, I focused my investigation on a bus hijacking incident a week ago. This is because I felt that that incident contains a major clue towards the identity of Kira." briefed Naomi towards Alma, letting him catch up on what she was previously talking about with Light.

*Ahem*

"Sorry for the interruption, but I don't think this is the right place for further discussion. Additionally, please to try not to disclose any important information to those not involved in the case. This is to prevent any leak of information." coughed Light as he tried to interrupt her from trying to spread the information out. This is to prevent it from reaching L just in case.

"Oh, I'm sorry for not introducing myself to you. I got a bit caught up in talking about old times with this missy here. My name is Alma Laune. Who are you? And I am not sure whether I should be saying this at this moment in time, but missy, are you sure this person is trustworthy?" asked Alma as he observed Light Yagami once again from head to toe.

"My name is Yagami Light, the son of the police chief who is currently involved with the investigation. So you can obviously trust me with any information related to the case. My identity is confirmed by this miss here." introduced Light.

"Is this true, missy?" asked Alma towards Naomi for confirmation.

"Yes, his identity is genuine. Additionally, he is also part of the secret group working with L to capture Kira. Previously, he convinced me to join the investigation to use my expertise to help out." explained Naomi gratefully.

"I see. Is there any requirements for joining this investigation group?" asked Alma as he nodded his head at the lengths taken to investigate this case.

"As long as a member of the group acknowledges your ability and recommends you to L. You should be able to join. Though I do need a name in order to report to L about who we are recommending." explained Light as he tried to steer the conversation back onto the intended topic. Which is to obtain Naomi's true name.

"Ah, about that... the name I previously told you wasn't real. Sorry. Would my Japanese ID work for the registration?" apologised Naomi as she passed her ID to Light. This is so that she will be able to contact L and pass on her information as soon as possible.

"It is ok. That will do." said Light as he looked at her ID. Just as he was about to ask her some questions in order to give him a reason to write down her name on a piece of the death note's page which he had torn to use separately, Alma said something which made Light immediately stop whatever he was doing.

'Such a stupid girl. It was so easy to get her ID. If she did not fall for this and went straight to the police station, she would have probably found out Kira eventually. In a sense, she is Kira's saviour.' laughed Light internally as he gripped his pen, preparing to end this farce by writing her name in the death note.

Just as he was about to write, his hand stopped mid-action. He immediately became cautious as cold sweat dripped down his back, after hearing what the man, Alma, said.

"Missy, you said it was related to the bus hijacking incident last week right?" confirmed Alma once again.

"Yes. I believe that to be so." answered Naomi confidently.

"Hmm, then I will trust your woman's instinct then. You see, I have some problems with my memory from time to time." started Alma.

Wondering why they were talking about this again, Light noticed that the man named Alma had reached inside his coat with his hands before taking out something. Seeing what that item was immediately made the gears in Light's mind churn, thinking about whether that item will be a danger to him right now or not.

'Is that what I think it is? Should I stop what he is doing right now? Since I already have his name.' pondered Light inwardly as he waited for Alma to confirm his thoughts in order to decide how to proceed.

"Because of your reminders, you made me remember that I still have this thing. This is a mini camera recorder. I usually use this to prevent me from forgetting something important. I remember being involved in the bus hijacking incident. Sadly, I was asleep for the entire duration due to jetlag. But if it is as you said, maybe my recording has recorded something that can help you in the investigation." said Alma as he passed the mini camera recorder to Naomi.

Reaching out to receive the item from Alma with trembling hands, Naomi thought whether the current situation could be too good to be true. After many hours of fruitless investigation only to be given something that might hold an important clue towards the identity of the killer of her fiance.

Naomi looked at Alma once more for confirmation about whether what he said was the truth.

"Yes, I typically use it when I can't pay attention to something. Such as when I have a headache or when I am sleeping during a trip. Its storage can hold up to a day of footage, so you can check whether it has what you want. Just hook it up to a computer or laptop and you should be able to view the recordings." nodded Alma as he confirmed the function of the mini camera recorder once again.

Hearing the words of Alma, Light could no longer keep as calm as he was. Light now knew that he is at an impasse. Whether to get his hands on the recorder or to immediately use the death note to manipulate their actions before death. Calming down his breathing that was a little agitated at almost having his whole plan fall apart if Naomi did not manage to stop and draw in Alma, preventing him from passing the recorder to the police.

"Hmm, alright. I think I will accompany you along to the police station. I also have some contacts there, maybe they could be of help to you to contact L."

Hearing this, Light immediately came to a decision to put a stop to Alma's action.

"Excuse me, Mr Alma. If you can pass me your ID, I will be able to help recommend you to the secret investigation group. I will then be able to directly contact L after they have determined your information. This should help save you both some time by avoiding the detours to immediately contact those responsible for this investigation." explained Light as he tried to convince Alma to pass his ID to Light.

Light is doing this to be careful in order to prevent writing down a fake name on the death note. He had already fallen to this trick once due to Naomi initially introducing herself with a fake name. After encountering it once, Light will not fall for it a second time.

'This person does not seem to be entirely reliable. I feel that he is like Matsuda. He does not seem to be a very intelligent person like Naomi and probably does not use his brain much. Hopefully, he will buy my excuse. I need to get rid of them now, they are becoming more of a threat to my identity of Kira now.' Light gritted his teeth inwardly as he could hear the shinigami Ryuk laughing in his ear, entirely amused by the current situation.

"Hmm, alright. I guess that would indeed be faster. Here you go." nodded Alma after some thought before passing his ID to Light.

"Alright. I will ask you some question regarding your capabilities if you don't mind. This is to help allocate your tasks easier when you join the team." asked Light lightly as he began writing down the information needed to use the death note.

"Hmm, I don't mind" replied Naomi.

"Go ahead." nodded Alma curtly.

"How long have you two worked in the FBI?" asked Light as he continued writing onto a piece of paper which is a piece of the death note's page which he has torn out. Naomi and Alma gave out some basic answers to the simple questions asked by Light.

Light the used this chance to write down the conditions of their death in the death note. He selected suicide for both Naomi and Alma. He stated that they will not bother anyone else and will thus suicide in a secretive place that only they themselves know.

Additionally, Light also noted down that they will be thinking about suicide henceforth before dying within 48 hours. Furthermore, Light also stated that Naomi will deal with the mini camera recorder to make sure that no one will be able to use the footage by destroying it. Light believed that with their background of being an FBI agent, they should be able to disappear smoothly without leaving any clues of their death.

It was at this moment, Naomi's instinct triggered to tell her that something weird is going on. Alma too, noticed something is wrong due to a short notification in his mind telling him that he had, once again, encountered a dangerous event.

Feeling that something was off about Light's action, Naomi observed Light a little closer before noticing that Light was constantly checking his watch.

"Umm, why are you always checking your watch?" asked Naomi as she voiced out her thoughts. Alma also nodded his head, indicating that he too would like to know the reasons for that action.

"It's because of Kira." replied Light as he smiled a little towards both Naomi and Alma.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" muttered Naomi with a sound of confusion.

"What about Kira?" asked Alma as he raised his brow, intrigue about Light's response.

*tick tick*

'Start!' shouted Light internally as he counted the seconds at which the death note will take effect.

Suddenly, Noami turned on her heel and began walking away. Light then asked Naomi what is wrong to which she replied that she has something that she must do.

"And what exactly is that Naomi?" asked Alma as he wondered internally whether Naomi also had some memory problems. Alma was still able to act normally because the effect of the death note had not activated for him yet. This is because his name has been written later than Naomi's.

Light, flipping open his phone, stated this his dad has finally called back. He then proceeded to ask whether Naomi would like to talk to him. Naomi then replied that there was nothing to talk about before she continued walking away along with the mini camera recorder.

'Farewell, Misara Naomi. And it should be time for you to follow in her footsteps as well. *tick tick* Now! Goodbye Alma Laune, though it was short-lived, it was nice meeting you.' muttered Light inwardly as he watched Naomi walk away before turning to look at Alma.

As Alma watched Naomi suddenly decide to walk away, his body suddenly stiffened. He then proceeded to look towards Light before turning his face towards the direction where the Shinigami Ryuk was floating. He then continued in the direction before walking straight through Shinigami Ryuk as he left the duo.

"I also seem to have something to do too. I'll see you guys again when I see you. Ciao." said Alma flippantly while raising his hand to give his goodbyes as he walked away.

*sigh*

"It is finally solved." said Light as he let out a long sigh of relief. The immediate problem has been resolved with no issue.

'They should not be found out anytime soon.' thought Light inwardly as he began the journey back home while thinking whether had he overlooked anything while solving the issue regarding Naomi and Alma.

"Hey, Light." said Ryuk suddenly.

"Yes, Ryuk? What is it?" responded Light.

"About the other guy. I think he was staring at me as he left." stated Ryuk.

"What do you mean? He just coincidentally walked in your direction to go down the street." asked Light as he thought back to what had just happened.

"I'm not sure, Light. For a moment there I thought he was staring directly at me." replied Ryuk as the shinigami crossed his hands and legs in thought.

"Don't worry too much. I had already taken into account everything. Besides, he did not even touch the page of the death note. There is no way he would be able to see you otherwise." comforted Light as he thought Ryuk was just talking nonsense.

"Is that so? For a moment there, I thought he was saying goodbye to both of us." wondered Ryuk as he scratched his head with his long arm.

"Hmm? What do you mean Ryuk?" asked Light as he began walking back home.

"Well, I think he mentioned 'guys' when he said he will see us again next time. I think that it was weird that he used a plural word when it was only you with him as that girl had already left. Maybe it is just me." said Ryuk with uncertainty.

"Hmm... Well, I don't think it matters anymore right? You had already confirmed that the death note had taken effect on him right?" gestured Light while thinking whether there was anything missing in his plans.

"Yes. Well, I guess you are right. Now come on let's go back. I want to eat some apples!" nodded shinigami Ryuk before he began to happily pester Light for more apples to eat as they walked back home.

Meanwhile, Alma, under the effects of the death note has walked to a train station before promptly boarding a random train without any destination in mind. Alma could be seen with a blank stare as his body seem to be moving purely on instinct.
