Hey, I'm back! I know, I'm surprised too. Anyways the chapter is shorter than some of the previous ones but it's the best I could do for now. Between rediscovering the plot, and doing my research (a.k.a. re-watching the Death Note) I've been busy with the story. Also thank you guys for the reviews, totally made my day! Well, enough of me talking, heres the newest chapter.

P.S. I don't own the Death Note.

O was having a really hard time focusing, this whole tailing possible suspects business was not all that it was cracked up to be. At least when she was in the hotel with L she could always bug him for fun but nope, she was currently watching the deputy director Kitamura's sixteen year old daughter getting frisky with her date.

Oh, ew, she did not need to see that. Once this was done she would give L a deeply detailed play-by-play of all she got to experience while tailing this chick, it was almost like she was there with the couple suffering at the hands of hormones right along with them. Oh well, at least this girl didn't seem to be smart enough to be Kira, her freshman-in-college brother though was a different story, she'd have to keep an eye on the Kitamura family.

Getting up from her seat in the movie theatre to leave the couple to their cheesy japanese romance she couldn't even understand anyways she exited the theatre to head back to the hotel. Tomorrow would be christmas and she would get to check in with the asylum kids, she had decided to enlist their help (secretly of course) with the Kira case because a little illegal support could do wonders. She figured L was too much of a pansy to do anything that wasn't by the book so she'd be helping him a bit behind the scenes out of the kindness of her heart. Basically she'd just have the students stalk, kill, kidnap or do other possibly useful but generally frowned upon things to help further the case at her own discretion. Yup, she was a kind person taking care of this for L.

She was grinning just thinking about her little troop of lethal goof balls when she pranced into L's super top secret fancy hotel room to be greeted by the frowning man himself.

"What is Kira planning to do." he said flatly, with his thumb to his lips.

"Hello to you too, Rue." said O, miffed at the lack of greeting.

"He must be planning to make a move after getting the results of his experiments from the police files yet nothing has been out of the ordinary for the past four days."

"He must be biding his time" said O, snapping back into focus, "He's waiting to act, but wait, he'd have no need to wait unless he wants to distance himself from something that happened."

"Yes, he has no need to worry about acting unless either his plans must be executed on a schedule or he feels pressure from the FBI investigators and he is working to hide something from them."

"Hey Rue, you don't think what he's planning has anything to do with the FBI do you?"

"My alias is Ryuzaki, and it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Still we can't afford to halt the investigation because we still can't trust the japanese police. Please warn the agents to be cautious and maybe review their notes again to see if there is anything notable that Kira may want to hide."

"Roger that. Still I don't think the agents noticed anything because every family up to this point has been cleared but-" O stopped because L being the dirt bag he was had wandered away, deeming the conversation over.

"Ass." she muttered, walking away to do what he had asked.

O was up bright and early on christmas morning, but not because of presents, wait actually Queen had something for her so maybe she was up for presents. she shrugged on a skin tight baby blue tube top, matching it with a black skirt and bright green and red christmas light bulb socks-she was feeling festive-before hiding her clubbing outfit beneath her stalking Watari-style trench coat.

She left her room making a beeline for the door when L's voice stopped her.

"Who are you investigating to day, Ms. Lia?"

"Ah, I'm stalking the Miyamoto family today, more specifically Mrs. Miyamoto because I get off on the joys of watching a house wife do chores all day, speaking of the thrills of stalking I never chewed you out for the hell I went through yesterday, did I?" O didn't really want to talk to L but she couldn't risk not appearing like herself.

"I can't say you did but-"

"No, no buts!" she yelled, "You have never had to watch a sixteen year old get down with her boyfriend in a movie theatre playing a cheap japanese romance!"

"Who's to say say I haven't had to see such things." he said, sounding bored.

"Ew, I didn't take you as a fan of child pornography." said O, feeling slightly mollified now that she had insulted him.

"I do not appreciated being called a pervert and child molester."

"Whatever, see ya later alligator!" and then the door slammed.

Okay, she was in the clear, she stepped out of the hotel before heading towards the line that would take her to the Note Blue in Aoyama. She got to Aoyama without incident, and was almost at the club. Well, her wallet was a little lighter due to the absolutely adorable cherry blossom socks she saw on the way to the club but on the whole the trip went smoothly. Just as she was stepping into the very empty club, it being morning and all, she was approached by a very large man who must have been a bouncer. O tensed up ready to incapacitate him should need be when he inquired whether or not she was 'Amelia'. Relaxing, she nodded and was led to a roped section in the back that must have been reserved and was pointed to a secluded and private table.

She sauntered up to the table, taking a seat and moving her head to the left slightly to allow the ninja star that was ready and waiting for her to make it's home in the wall behind her head. An explosion of laughter ensued and she took the time to admire the gang of misfits sitting before her. There was Ace who appeared to be suffocating from laughter, Jack was grinning and looking rumpled as always, Joker looking neat and bored as ever, and then there was a petite girl with big wire framed glasses and mousy brown hair pulled up into messy pigtails-Queen. An outsider would probably wonder how an odd group of kids managed to get into the VIP section of a club, but O knew that the group before her was dangerous and very capable.

"Hey Fi, we weren't sure if you'd make it!" said Ace, who had finally calmed down.

"Yeah, what happened, the message you sent must have come from some seriously good computers because I could get a location on you. And whats up with what happened at the Charity? The cameras went dead and the place was crawling with cops, not to mention you just up and disappeared." said Jack who didn't appear to be too worried.

In answer O reached across the table and smacked him before saying "That's what you get for doing a crap job at hacking you toolbag."

Joker, who seemed to be deriving pleasure from his twins pain plowed on quietly asking O to be upfront with what was happening so that they could help.

"Well you guys, someone from my past had managed to find me because I was an idiot and took a case I shouldn't have. Well he twisted my arm-I know hard to believe, right?" she said to their incredulous faces, "and enlisted my help on an exceptionally difficult case in exchange for a pardon for some of the wrongs he's aware of."

"Ha who'd a thunk the almighty Fi would get stuck being some dudes henchman." Ace said with a snicker, he was rewarded with a slap.

"What's the case you're working on?" said Joker, with a slight frown.

"Uh you know, just the Kira case…"

This was met by silence and a bunch of white, wide-eyed faces with the exception of Joker who looked unhappy but not surprised.

"Lemme get this straight, you, a criminal, is working on the greatest, most dangerous case of the century to catch Kira, the magical psychopath who just so happens to be targeting and killing off criminals. And the dude who is making you help is the greatest detective in the history of the world, L. Is that right?" Jack said slowly.

"Uh yea, that just about sums it up." Said O casually.

"How the do you even know L?" He exploded, "And don't you think that would have been nice information to include in your message!"

"Well, did you want me to say 'yeah don't worry I was kidnapped and now I'm working on the Kira case with L, the smartest man alive, who doesn't know I'm contacting you right now. Oh and by the way lets meet up in Japan so you could help me on this suicide mission too.' Is that what you wanted me to say?"

"Uh yes, that would have been helpful since we didn't exactly pack for a manhunt for the 'magical psychopath' Kira as Jack put it." added Ace.

"Tough." she said grumpily.

"Well, as difficult as this sounds, we're here now and must aid Fi. And beside we didn't come to argue we came to offer assistance which leads us to the next point of what Queen here has for you which by the way became much more useful." Said Joker, efficiently ending further argument.

The small unremarkable girl who had remained quiet until this point cleared her throat and began to speak, "Yes well um, You see I have modified a common device to be more useful and functional for cases like this," she placed some walkie-talkies on the table before continuing, "and Joker is right, in this case where you are not allowed contact with the outside world these could prove useful."

"It looks like a childrens toy." O deadpanned.

Undeterred she continued "They are smaller to be more easily concealed and are much more powerful than their common counterpart. The area of communication is much larger and can cover about the radius of LA as long as both holders remain above ground. And of course they do not require any outside influences such as satellites, routers, and other services meaning messages are untraceable and leaves no records. Any message is accompanied by encrypting beeps and clicks that prevent them from being intercepted and understood, only the other device can receive messages and vice versa. It is entirely self sufficient and can be charged with solar energy, they are user friendly and self explanatory. They are also durable and cannot be easily destroyed but they do have a self-detonation code with is, and please remember for I will not repeat, *E35H7-4B*." and with that the smaller girl clammed up and allowed O to admire the two smallish boxy-looking things with matching ear pieces.

O sucked in a breath before smiling, "You're right, this is useful. I can contact you guys with information and requests as long as you stay in the area, and all without L noticing. Sorry for doubting you Queenie." then turning to the rest of the gang she began darkly, "And of course this means that you will be helping me, and will carry out any orders I issue. My being held prisoner does not change who you are working for."

She was met by a bunch of enthusiastic, albeit slightly frightened head nods.

"Great!" she clapped her hands, "Well, I'm off to go stalk a housewife, I will see you people again unless Kira kills me in which case I will not see you again but will fully expect you guys to continuing hunting Kira down to exact revenge on my behalf. Please be on standby for orders, oh and try not to contact me; wait for me to contact you. Ciao!" and with that O stood up gaily and left the Note Blue and her little gang of criminal masterminds behind, off to go stare at a Mrs. Miyamoto through binoculars while being bored to the point of wishing she'd get a heart attack just to escape having to do anymore surveillance.

Sorry if it wasn't any good I'm still getting a feel for the story, also I'm sorry if there are any mistakes I only re-read it once. And I know there wasn't much of L but I really needed to get the little asylum meet-and-greet out of the way. Hopefully I'll update again at some point, and remember reviews are always welcome. Bye! :)
