NOTE: this is a 'sequel' in a way, to my one-shot 'Responsibility'.
You don't have to read the one-shot…

"Your ways of investigation are unacceptable and often inhumane. You should be pleased that I haven't order Watari to send you to a prison cell..."
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE, LAWLIET! You're over bloody reaction!" Yelled Mello in his solitude room.

Mello had fallen. The mafia had fallen. L's team had taken them as soon as they worked out their location. While the rest of the team were sent straight to jail wit out trial, Mello and his red-head accomplice Matt were locked up in mysterious cells - cameras watching their every move. Well, that is if they could move. Matt was given a bit more freedom then Mello, due to the fact that L believed that Matt might go bit crazy. Matt obviously couldn't play his video games or smoke a cigarette when he was tied up. Although Matt was in chains, he could movie his arms, hands, and fingers freely. With this acceptation, Matt immediately decided to take advantage of L's somewhat good nature, and tried to undo his chains. Much to his misfortune, the chains and handcuffs were opened by a code- of which he didn't have obviously.
Mello was strapped secularly to the wheeling stretcher, blindfold tightly over his eyes.
"Stupid L..." Mello muttered.
"Pardon? I'm sorry, but I didn't quite catch what you just said..." L said smugly from the other side of the camera.
"Oh, uh, j-just a praise to Kami-sama..." mumbled Mello.
Mello could feel his blood boiling with anger. He forced himself to keep his temper, and instead listen for the sound of Matt's yells as he slowly went mad with dealing with the loss of his games. Mello gritted his teeth as anger bubbled inside of him until it exploded...

Meanwhile...

"Ryuuzaki..." came Siochiro's booming voice. "You might want to check out this news report."
L jumped quickly out of the swivel chair and dived on to the sofa, before making himself comfortable as the rest of the task force gathered round the screen with him.
"...Beyond Birthday has escaped from prison and is on the run in Tokyo. Information about his escape has only JUST been released. It is thought that the murderous killer has been out of prison for at least 20 hours..."
"What...?" gasped Matsuda.
The task force watched in shock, accept their leading L, who watched the report with much interest rather then shock.
"It is suspected already that Beyond Birthday has started 'working' with the current infamous killer, Kira. Since around the time of Birthday's escape, the Kira murders seem to be going in a highly noticeable pattern..."
"How intriguing" mumbled L, switching of the tv.
"Ryuuzaki-"
"I had known that he would manage to escape at some point Siochiro, though I will admit that I believed it wouldn't have been this early..." L explained, nibbling thoughtfully on his thumb.
"What should be do?" asked Matsuda worriedly
"For the moment, there is little. If Beyond Birthday had united with Kira, then, I must say, I do have a slight fear for my own safety." L said honestly, climbing off the sofa and walking back to his previous seat. "But I do highly doubt they would unite in crime..." He sighed.
"Why? They're both murderers, aren't they? Wouldn't teaming up higher their chances at killing?" Asked Matsuda.
L turned to Matsuda and stared wide eyed, still gnawing on his thumb. "Matsuda, you clearly don't understand at all. If this was school with myself as the teacher, then you questions would be considered high. Due to the fact that this is a task force, your questions seem more juvenile..."
L turned away from him, and went back to looking at the screens that showed Matt and Mello.
"They may be both murderers, but their styles and choices when it comes to their crimes are very different. BB murders because he wants to confuse, and eventually beat, me. Kira kills criminals. I suspect Kira thinks of this as a way of purifying the world- by ridding it of it lowest forms... The fake Kira kills simply for attention and to make the real Kira pleased. Three very different murderers..."
"But, they didn't say anything about the second Kira...
"Matsuda, you idiot..." muttered Aizawa, shaking his head in disappear.
"I'll make this easy for you Matsu... The second Kira if somewhat the servant of Kira. Therefor is B unites with Kira, he's also united with the second..."
There was a buzz as the task force began to mutter to each other about the new possibility. L remained eyeing the screen. Matt fidgeted, but remained calm so far. Mello was still blaring loudly, echos flying throughout his cell. As L watched, he felt something small prodding his shoulder. He turned his head to see the small, white head boy poking him quizzically.
"Father, will you have any time at all today to challenge me to chess? Or am I going to have developed a personality disorder so I can play it decently?" Near raised a snowy eyebrow
"Later Near. For the moment, I have the knowledge of something that might just interest you. Search 'Beyond Birthday escapes prison' and see what you can find"
"Okay, papa."
"And another task for you" L ruffled his sons hair, still holding a poker face and nibbling the thumb of his spare hand " See what you can find about the rumor 'Beyond Birthday and Kira join forces'..."

Hours before, in the bedroom of a seemingly normal teenage boy...

"I heard about you. You're the kind of person that gets his name written down his my book. How did you find me anyway?" Asked Light, the secretly infamous Kira.
"I have the eyes. I can see your shinigami"
"But there could be other peoples with ownership of a death note. You've taken a rather stupid risk-"
"No risk taken Kira. I was sure it was you. You may sit and doubt this, but I call it instinct- and that is something I rarely follow." explained the mysterious man.
Light smirked.
"So..." he stood up and began to pace round his room "You are Beyond Birthday. A murderer- and you have to Kira? You must be madder then they say..."
"Prison can change a man in the strangest ways. While I still want to bear L, I do believe in what you do, Kira. Although I am a possibility." BB stood up as well, but remained standing.
His posture was just as bad as L's, his face even looked like the detective's, with the same pointy nose, thin lips and pale skin. There was some noticeable differences. While L tired eyes were grey and almost black, BB's were more of a cloudy blue and his hair wasn't ebony but a dark brown. His was similar to L's, but higher and softer, almost womanly.
"Are you of relation to L?" Light asked, eyeing the strange man.
"yes."
"Brother?"
"That information is of no use to you."
Light grinned "But it is! It is of use to the both of us! You want rid of L, and so do I! If you have the eyes, plus your related to him, then you must know his real name!" Light explained triumphantly, almost bouncing for joy.
"I don't"
"What?"
"The last I saw of him, I would have been a baby, if much older. I know very little about him, including his name. But I suspect his surname is Ryuuzaki, just like mine."
Light nodded disappointedly
'he could still be of use. More useful taen Misa had ever been. She fails every time! Stupid girl... But he stands a specimen of everything I hate in this world, and he is willing to help me... The idiot could be of use to me.'

Chapter 1! Wooo! This is a sequal to my one shot Responsibility, so it might help to read that first. Do you think it any good so far? Should I carry it on? Opinions?

Comment? Favourite? Alert? :D
