Author’s Notes – In regards to the character that this chapter focuses a bit on, I’m a bit on the fence honestly. He has a lot of potential in regards to what he could have done with his abilities but chose the easy way to handle his boredom and frustration with how things were going in the world. I’ll have to see how it works through the story in regards to what I will eventually do with him.

My apologies for those who have been waiting so patiently for an update. I’ve been caught up with real life issues and also finished my first novel, submitting it to be looked over for possible publication. Please keep fingers crossed for me!

Chapter Thirteen – His Move…Their Plan

Raito Yagami was definitely enjoying himself so far. He had not only managed to gain access to a book that was helping him change the world but had stymied the world’s greatest detective for the moment. The television broad cast had provided little evidence to the mysterious man, and Raito was enjoying that immensely.

The only dark cloud on his horizon at this point in time was that he knew his activities were the target of a very large investigation. Raito was not too worried though, knowing he was intelligent enough to keep ahead of the detectives. He knew his father was a part of the investigation as well, and the fact that his parent was heading it on the Japanese side made it easier to stay ahead.

The teenage genius leaned back in his desk chair, smirking as he did so. He carded fingers through his hair, amber eyes focusing on the computer screen.

“What’s going on, Raito?”

The teenager reached out, grabbing an apple from the bowl on his desk to toss it to the hulking figure that was floating behind him.

“Thinking on what needs to be done from this point, Ryuk. Even though it seems L is stumped for the moment, I have to be careful to not draw attention to me. Whether or not he can get close is something we’ll have to wait and see.”

Raito leaned forward, fingers going to the keyboard, and he typed in a familiar address into the URL box on his navigator screen. Within moments, the young genius put in his father’s ID and password, then began reading over the case notes the team had entered into their database.

“From the looks of things, they still haven’t determined where Kira is but it seems that L believes that Kira is a high school student. Judging from what I’m reading, it looks like some of the members of the team don’t agree with him, despite the evidence L had presented to them. This might make things easier for me.”

The shinigami looked over his shoulder, taking a look at the odd human device the other was studying.

“How so?”

“By discrediting L,” Raito answered, fingers tapping on the desk. “Most of the team doesn’t know that he’s right in regards to the fact that I’m in school still. So I need to see what the full capabilities of the Death Note are. If it does like I’m hoping it will, I can change the schedule of when people die to show the team that L was wrong about the timing. If he’s wrong on that, then what else can he be wrong about?”

The oddly shaped creature gave an evil leer at that. The human was shaping up to become something he was enjoying a great deal.

“So you’re going to work with the Death Note again?”

The high school student nodded, picking up his pen and turning on his television.

“Time to experiment and set my plan into motion.”

The shinigami cackled, watching the human as he began implementing his plan to thwart the detective that was looking for him.

Things were definitely interesting and becoming more so!

Harry rubbed a slender hand over his eyes, setting down the thick book he’d gotten from the shopping trip to Kakumerichi. He glared at the computer beside him, watching as L silenced the odd ringing by entering a few commands. The wizard sighed in relief as the noise stopped, going back to his reading.

“What is it, Matt?”

A soft voice, young but carrying the air of intelligence, responded to L’s question.

“You wanted me to let you know if the Japanese police’s database had been accessed from an outside source.”

Both Harry and L were focused on the computer when they heard the answer.

“It has, but it’s not an invasive thing. There’s been six log-ins made so far, and all of them are from addresses listed as the homes of the detectives assigned to the taskforce. I’m chasing down the IPs again, but it looks legitimate from here.”

The detective frowned, thinking on what his heir had said.

“Continue to keep a watch over the system and see how often these log-ins happen to discover repeat visits. Pull Near and Mello in to help you. If you three can get this information, find out if the owners of the passwords were home or not.”

“All right, L. Mello’s been pretty antsy so he’ll be glad to have something to do. We’ll get this information if we can, and I’ll report back on the IPs that have been accessing the system.”

“I shall be waiting for that report,” he answered, then ended the call.

“Do you think one of those people who accessed the computer system was Kira?”

L picked up a cauldron cake, nibbling on it before answering Harry’s question.

“It is something I would do so I believe Kira could have been one of the visitors to the database. If so, then it means his signature will change somewhat. Whether it will be a drastic change remains to be seen.”

Harry set his book down, turning a bit to face his coworker. A thought had occurred to him, and he hoped that he wasn’t right.

“If it was him, it means he knows that you believe he’s a high school student. Given your current profile of Kira, he’ll try to find a way to discredit you.”

“I know,” he answered, setting his cake back onto the plate. “I also know there is a high probability of at least one negative report regarding my contributions to the investigation. That would only further his desire to see me discredited in front of the police. The odds of him changing his methods are incredibly high. How he will change them remains to be seen. If it does change, it will give us a bit more insight into the weapon he is using to commit these crimes.”

“Every scrap we gain is a help, I agree, but what will you do if his signature changes? A lot of the detectives in the task force are showing signs of not wanting to work with you. If something changes, proving you wrong, then it will show a lot of them that they would be right in what they assume about you.”

“I could report the potential security breech but will refrain from doing so until I have the information from my heirs to support my claim. All I can do is lay out the hypothesis as it forms. Whether or not they decide to believe it is up to them.”

Harry touched the book he’d been reading, thinking over what he’d been researching so far.

“I haven’t found any type of cursed object listed that can do what Kira is doing, but there’s a lot more data to go through. From there, I’ll check on magical creatures and keep trying to find the weapon Kira is using. There’s literally centuries of knowledge to try and go through.”

The detective nodded, understanding that his coworker was doing his best so far. If he could risk it, he would have suggested more researchers but L didn’t feel comfortable with bringing more unknowns into the equation. He knew Harry had his friends swear magical oaths, but the shaggy haired male felt more comfortable having fewer individuals to keep track of. If it came down to it, he would allow the wizard to bring in the people he trusted.

“Just continue on as you have been. The information will be found once we have enough clues to guide us to what the weapon is and who is wielding it.”

Harry nodded, then snapped his fingers.

“Reminds me, I was told that the potion will be ready soon for whenever you get the right teammates in for the smaller task force. Hermione has both the oath written out as well as the potion on hand to send for when we need it. Combination of it and the oaths will keep them from speaking of anything about me.”

“That is very good news,” L told him. “I am pleased your friends were able to get it finished so quickly. This way we will not have to postpone the formation of the smaller task force once the undesirables are weeded out.”

“Hopefully, they’ll be hard working individuals with an open mind. I’m not certain I could contain my temper if they wind up anything similar to the group that’s in the main task force now.”

The International Detective gave him a bit of a small, crooked smile. In truth, he wouldn’t mind seeing Harry in a bit of a rant and would probably allow him to do so if it meant that the wizard’s words would spark motivation into the final task force.

“That might be an interesting sight to see.”

“Probably not, I have a very bad temper and tend to blow things up when I’m really furious. My old Headmaster could attest to that. I demolished his office more than once when I became infuriated enough to lose control.”

L gave his companion a soft smirk.

“Watari has experience in calming down someone while they have lost control of their magic. I believe everything will be just fine.”

Harry blushed at that, shaking his head. Everything should be fine as long as he remembered his meditation at night and to try not to let things get to him. However, it made something inside feel rather warm to know that someone cared enough to help him with his magic should it come to that point.

“I doubt it’ll be needed, but thank you.”

“You are welcome,” he answered the wizard before focusing back on his caseload and allowing the other male a chance to collect himself. L pondered the information that Matt had given him, wondering which of the access points had been the one Kira had used to spy on the investigation.

Things were starting to unfold, and he would ensure that he would bring the offender to justice. All that was needed was time and patience.

Author’s End Note – Again, my apologies for taking so long with the chapter. Real life, plus holidays, can really drag things out. I truly hope you have enjoyed the chapter; please let me know what you think! See you next chapter, and Happy New Year! ~ Laran
