LOL!!! I promised myself i wouldn't start any new fics until i finished the rest but i just got this idea in my head and i couldn't get it out!! oh and this is a bit A/U. L never dies, because that'd be sad to leave a main character without her daddy _. Oh and I haven't seen all the episodes of Death Note, so I don't really know how Light got involved in the investigation, so I'm just gonna make up my own reasons. Teehee, please dont flame me for that!

Hey, I'm Kira. No, not the mysterious murderer, my name is Kira. How does a eight year old girl know about the Kira? Well, I'm the one who solved the case. My daddy, L as the public knows him and the name I'm supposed to call him when talking to people like you, is the one who was investigating the case. My friend, Kyouya and I, were going through Daddy's office when we found the case files. I thought more into it than Daddy did then, so I was the first to see it. I guess you don't quite understand what I'm talking about do you? Well, the easiest way is just to tell you.

-x-x-x-

It all started about a years ago, when the first criminal died, from a heart attack. I was playing with Kyouya, my now boyfriend, in my room, when Daddy walked to my door,

"Kira. We need to go to work. Kyouya, we'll drop you off at home on our way." Daddy sounded worried so we immediately jumped up and followed him out to the car. Kyouya got in the back and me and Daddy sat in the front. Daddy stomped on the gas and we speeded down the road toward Kyouya's house. As soon as Kyouya was on the curb, Daddy stepped on the gas and we flew down the street. I was starting to get worried. Daddy never drove this fast. He glanced at me,

"Honey, when we get there, there's going to be a lot of new detectives at my office. The regulars have already agreed to this, but I don't want you telling anyone your real name okay? You will tell them your name is K. Like I do. It's just for safety precautions. This is a much more dangerous case than the others. The Kira could be anyone." I frowned, confused why someone else was using my name, but nodded,

"Okay, Daddy." He tooked my hand and started rubbing circles into it with his thumb,

"I just hope this isn't what I think it is," he mumbled.

When we pulled up in front of the building Daddy works at, he tossed his keys to an assistant and we walked up the stairs to the door. Daddy opened it for me and we headed for the elevator. Once we were inside I looked up at him,

"Daddy? What's going on? Who is 'The Kira', and why can't I tell anyone my name?" He looked down at me,

"Wait until we get into my office, sweetheart. Then I'll tell you." I nodded and waited for the elevator to stop. When it did, Daddy picked me up. He jogged to his office and quickly opened the door. All Daddy's normal employee's were there, even Uncle Near. This must be a serious case. I walked over to Near and sat in his lap. Another one of Daddy's associates frowned at me,

"L. Was it really necessary to bring the kid?" Daddy sighed, still standing at the door. I gasped. I had forgotten to take off my shoes and tracked dirt onto the carpet. I quickly took them off and tossed them to Daddy, who sat them next to his by the door. He shuffled over the foot prints and then addressed the man who protested to me being here,

"Was it really necessary for you to be here?" The man started to speak but Daddy cut him off, "I need to speak with my daughter, go get me some cake and a cup of coffee." The man rolled his eyes and walked out the door, grabbing his shoes on the way. Daddy looked at the rest of the men,

"Could you all please meet me in the conference room in twenty minutes?" The detectives stood and walked out the door, grabbing their shoes as well. Only Uncle stayed. Daddy walked across the room and sat on top of his desk,

"Okay, here's the story kiddo, a series of deaths have been recorded around the world, all criminals, all heart attacks. My boss thinks there's a reason to investigate this. The Kira is the name people have given to whoever might be causing this. The name was deprived from the English word, killer. You can't tell anyone your name because everyone is being irrational about this. If the public were to know your name was Kira, they could get suspicious." I frowned. That didn't sound like much of a reason but I shrugged it off. Near sighed,

"What are we going to do to, L? We have absolutely no way of finding evidence." Daddy smirked,

"I think we do." Uncle's eyes widened,

"You don't think. . .A Death Note? You want to bring back the shinigami?" Daddy nodded,

"It's the only possible solution. A string of heart attacks, all concentrated on criminals, whose names and pictures could easily be found on the internet. Possibly, someone is trying to make the world a better place?"

"Yeah, or on a quest for unharnessed power." mumbled Near. Daddy chuckled,

"Or that. We need to bring back the shinigami." Near nodded and slid me off his lap. He waved at me and then jogged out the door, not bothering to grab his shoes like everyone else. Daddy started to speak but the man who he sent away earlier walked in, carrying a slice of cake and a cup of coffee. He sat them on the desk and stalked back out of the office. Daddy pushed the cake towards me and took the coffee for himself. I smiled and started eating. I left half for Daddy but he just ignored it, which was unusual for him. I frowned,

"Daddy, I thought shinigami weren't real. Mommy always said they were just legends." He sighed,

"I thought that too. Until I found the notebook." I frowned but didn't press any further. Daddy would tell me on his own time. Then, Near walked back into the room alone, or so I thought. Daddy grinned,

"Welcome back, shinigami. It's been a while." I was starting to think Daddy was losing it until Near walked up to me and explained,

"Only humans who have touched the Death Note can see the shinigami it belongs to," he whispered, "This is the shinigami from the last Death Note related case your father worked on." I nodded and watched Daddy converse with what seemed to be air,

"So," he said, "Are there any shinigami who have lost their Death Note? Dropped it? Like you did." There was silence for a moment, "Ryuk? I believe I have heard of him. And you're telling me he dropped his notebook a few weeks ago?" More silence. Daddy looked at Near,

"That would fit." Uncle nodded, and then they both turned back to where I assumed the shinigami was. Daddy nodded,

"Do you know who has the notebook now?" Again, silence. Daddy frowned, "Okay, thank you. I would appreciate it if you stayed here, until this case is solved, or resolved." Silence and then Daddy looked at me. He started to speak but another assistant walked into the room,

"Uh, sir? A Light Yagami is here to see you." Daddy frowned but nodded,

"Send him in." Near grabbed my arm and pulled me over into the corner. I frowned but Daddy shook his head, "Don't worry. It's nothing to worry about." Uncle frowned but let me go. I ran to Daddy's side and grabbed his hand. Moments later, a man, boy about seventeen walked into the office. He looked at Daddy skeptically,

"So you're L? I'd have never guessed. And I'm guessing this is your daughter? A bit risky bringing children into this business isn't it?" I gasped and hid behind Daddy's legs. I didn't like this guy. Daddy looked down at me and the back to LIght,

"I am L. And yes, she is. Her name is K. I believe I can take care of my daughter fairly well, thank you. Now, may I ask, why are you here?" Light chuckled,

"I've just started college, and I'm looking for something to major in. I figured that with my high test scores, I'd be able to intern for Japan's great detective." Daddy chuckled,

"I don't know about that title, but I'm more than welcome to another assistant." Light shook his head,

"You misunderstand, I want to help with the Kira case." Daddy frowned,

"You misunderstand me. All my assistants help with my cases, only the most trusted are sent for coffee and food." Light frowned,

"Oh. Very well. Any leads?" Light glanced over his shoulder, for no reason and then looked back at Daddy. That was my first clue. Daddy frowned,

"No. None at all, I've just started the Kira case today. I was just about to go to a meeting to discuss what the local police have given us." Light nodded still standing at the door. Daddy looked down at me,

"Honey, could you show Light to Conference Room B?" I looked up at him, panicked. Daddy knelt down next to me,

"Don't worry," he whispered, "I'm getting the same thing you are off this guy, but we can't accuse him of anything. Not yet. Just take him. He's not going to hurt you in a building full of detectives." I nodded and walked over to Light,

"Hi. I'm Ki-. . .K." I grabbed his hand and started leading him down the hall. He looked down at me,

"So you're L's daughter? Why aren't you at home with your Mommy?" I frowned,

"She was murdered last year. And then the man who killed her was killed last week by Kira." He nodded. I looked up at him and he looked down at me,

"So you must be thankful to Kira, right?" For a moment, I thought I saw his eyes flash red, but that couldn't be possible. I shook my head,

"Daddy says a murderer is a murderer. Even if they kill someone who's bad." Light frowned,

"Oh. Really? I would be glad that Kira killed the man if I was in the same situation as you-" He stumbled. He looked down and his shoe lace was untied. He frowned, "Could you hold my bag for me?" I took it and he knelt down to tie his shoe, facing away from me. I looked down into his bag and saw something strange. A bright red apple, and a black notebook. Something was written on the cover but I couldn't see it. I reached in and grabbed the notebook, to turn it around, but that's when Light stood up. I quickly let go of the book and handed the bag back to him. He smirked and I started leading him again.

Once we made it to the conference room, Light knelt down in front of me,

"Thanks for showing me the way," he reached into his bag, "Here," he pulled out the shiny red fruit, "Have an apple. It might come in handy." I frowned and watched him walk into the conference room. How would a piece of fruit come in handy? I started walking back to Daddy's office, when I heard a rough, scratchy voice,

"Could I have a bite of that apple?" I turned, and behind me was a smelly, rotten. . .thing. It looked ike a dead body come alive. And then I realized what it was. A shinigami. I screamed, dropped the apple and started running down the hall, but everywhere I looked, the shinigami was there. I burst into Daddy's office and crashed into his legs. He picked me up and I started crying into his shoulder. He stroked my hair,

"Honey, what's wrong? What happened, was it Light?" I started to nod, but I couldn't be sure. I wiped my nose on his shirt,

"I-It was a. . .a sh-shini-g-gami!" Daddy looked at Near,

"That's impossible. Only people who've touched a Death Note can see shinigami." I frowned. Another clue. Could that notebook have been a Death Note? Daddy made me look up at him,

"What did the shinigami look like? Did it say anything?" I sniffed,

"He had stringy black hair that stuck straight up over his head and he looked like a dead body, and I think he might have had wings." Daddy looked over to a blank spot next to Near, possibly where the other shinigami was,

"Is that Ryuk?" Silence, "Interesting. Kira may be closer than we think." Uncle frowned,

"Could it be that Yagami kid?" Daddy shook his head,

"We can't be sure. Any book she's touched in the past twenty four hours could have been a Death Note." I pulled on Daddy's sleeve,

"The shinigami asked me for an apple." Daddy frowned,

"Did you have one?" I nodded, "How did you get it?" I frowned,

"Light gave it to me after I showed him where the conference room was. He said it might come in handy." Near looked at Daddy,

"Handy? Maybe he knew she touched the Death Note. He wanted to make sure she had something to keep Ryuk at bay." Daddy frowned,

"We need to send her out there, to see if she can get any leads from Ryuk." Behind me, the rough scratchy voice spoke again,

"No one wants that for their daughter." I shuddered and pressed my face into Daddy's shoulder,

"Daddy! It's here again!" He looked toward the door,

"Ryuk. Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?"

"No. Not all." He said. Daddy looked down at me. He wanted me to translate?! I sighed and shook my head. He looked back toward the door where Ryuk was standing,

"Ryuk, who is in possesion of your Death Note?" Ryuk chuckled,

"I can't tell you that." I frowned,

"He said he can't tell you." Daddy sat on top of his desk, holding me in his lap,

"Why not?" Ryuk grinned,

"Let's just call it, client confidentiality. As a detective, you understand that, L." I looked up at Daddy,

"Client confidentiality." Daddy chuckled,

"Well, I know that it's someone my daughter's interacted with. She can see you. Someone who can supply you with apples, because I'm sure you're not this polite all the time. And someone with a little black book." Ryuk chuckled,

"I see you've done your research in what little time you've had this case. I'm impressed."

He said, you've done your research, that he's impressed," I told Daddy. He nodded,

"Well, thank you Ryuk. I'd appreciate it if you'd stay in the building, in case we need you for further questioning." Ryuk sighed,

"I suppose it wouldn't be too much trouble." I nodded at Daddy who looked at Near,

"Well, we'd better get to that meeting. It's been a little over twenty minutes." He lifted me up onto his shoulders and we started down the hall.

Whoo hoo!!!!!
