The next night, Hitori was walking on her way to a building, thinking about what she had discovered about the case and about Kira's identity until she paused for a moment as she felt something...'someone is following me!...' She thought, This time she is sure of how she felt, there is someone following her, it may be a thief but she is ready for him, Hitori entered one of the alleys and hide there and heard the sound of the foot falling speeding up and approaching, when that person arrived he reaching out inside the alley, Hetori grabbed his hand put it on her shoulder and carried him and threw him on the ground.

"Huh? You don't look like thief, why are you following me?" She asked the guy.

"I... I'm sorry, miss! I didn't't mean to scare you, I ... I was worried that you entered this dark alley by yourself and wanted to make sure that you are fine but it seems... that you are smarter than what I thought as you defended yourself in this wonderful way." The guy said, Hitori smiled and proudly stroked her hair and said:

"Oh thank you, I'm more powerful than you thought, Sorry to throw you this way, I hope I didn't hurt you badly" She said helping him to stand up.

"It's ok miss, please be careful on your road"

"I will, goodbye mister" she said and left.

"This girl is very strong, I have to be more careful and not let her notice me again, or else I will have to show my true identity to her." The guy said and continue following her.'I know that this guy lied to me and he still following me but I don't care, I almost reach my destination, and I will be fine there' she thought, then, she arrived at the building It turned out that it was the police station, she was going to visit her uncle at the police station, that man felt afraid because he thought she had gone there to report him or similar and he stopped chasing her and left, at that time, Hitori entered the building and said that she wanted to see her uncle.

"We're sorry miss.Yagami, the chief is in an important meeting with L now."

"So what? I'm here to help in the case"

"I'm sorry miss, but they asked me to don't make anyone interrupt the investigation"

"Oh is that so, okay then... Goodbye!" She said and ran inside the station.

"W... Wait miss.Yagami!"

"Too late!..." She said and then she made it to the Kira case headquarters, before she gently knock the door opened and three mens get out of there...'what's going on?' She thought and then someone saw her and said:

"Oh look! It's miss.Yagami!" He said and then everyone looked at her and started to welcome her.

"Hi everyone, it's nice to see you again" she said politely...'what's happening? Who is this girl?' Someone thought, it was L, hitori moved close to her uncle She sat on her knee and started whispering:

"I want to help in the case" she said.

"No," he said "I think I said yesterday..."

"You didn't say anything, After I told you what I discovered I asked you again if I can join you but you didn't say anything," she smirked "And the Silence is sign of approval" she end.

"No it's not, being silent not mean that I agreed, that case is not like the cases that you've solve it many years ago it's different."

"Oh come on uncle, just give me a chance," she then give him puppy eyes..."please?"

"Alright, but just one chance."

"Yes!" She yelled and then closed her mouth
"Oops, sorry..."

"It's ok, just go and have a sit and stop acting like child" he said.

"Yes ser! Thank you" she smiled, then she turn to saw Watari sitting in the back...'It's L!...' She thought, then she took deep breath and smiled saying:

"Mr. L, it is an honor for me to meet you. My name is Tsukiko Yagami, the daughter of President Yagami and I am here to help with the investigation after your permission, of course." Everyone in the room was shocked by what they heard, why? Because Hitori used a fake name, but why did she do that? Simply, it seems that she wanted to match L in his nickname game.

"Welcome miss.Yagami, it's my honor to meet you to, and as I can see that you're very intelligent girl and everyone now you here, I hope we can cooperate together to solve the case and Catch Kira" said L behind the computer screen, hitori smiled at him.

"I hope so too." She said and then look for an empty place and she decided to sit behind a young man, the task force continued the investigation and hitori listened to them carefully... "H... Hi" She heard a shyly voice said beside her and when she looked at him she saw a straight-hair young man.

"Hi, I didn't met you any time I came here, are you a new one?" She asked with a smile on here face.

"Y... Yes I am, my name is Matsuda, nice to meet you miss.Yagami." He said and reached out his hand to have her a handshake, hitori smiled and reached out her hand and gave him a handshake...

"It's ok, you don't have to be very officially Matsuda_San, you can just call me tsukiku" she said.

"Of course tsukiku_Kun."

"What happened just before? I saw three police officers leave. Did there be a problem?"

He sight "They have resigned."

"But why?"

"They are afraid for their lives from Kira, and on the other hand, I understand from what they said they Don't trust L" he said.

"And why do they don't?" She asked.

"Because Kira kills people whose names and faces are publicly displayed, and we, as police officers, carry badges with our names and faces, we are more at risk than L, who hides his face and real name from others."

"So what? Is this enough reason to blame L? His guilt is not that he does not want to show his true identity in front of anyone, not as if he had done it before, the only person who knows L's true identity is Watari and this is enough reason to prevent them from blaming him for not showing his identity" she replayed.

"Ah... Yeah, I think you're right." Said Matsuda, then she sight putting her left hand on her cheek and looking at Watari with the corner of her eyes...'Poor L, He must be disturbed by what these three officers said, because he doesn't wish to show his identity doesn't mean that he sacrifices all police officers to survive, I actually don't blame him, for such a world doesn't deserve to know the identity of a talented and genius like him, just as If he had shown his identity to the world even once, he would not have been alive until this moment, but rather Kira would have killed him from the beginning...' She thought but she noticed that her face turns red a little bit... 'What's wrong with me?! Why did I start thinking this way? I had never thought of anyone this far, I did not think of Tsuki like this ... Focus, you want to defeat him, stop thinking about him ... thinking ... about him?' Then her face turn deep red but she tried to hide it in her hands.

"Tsukiku_Kun? You alright?" Matsuda asked.

"Y... Yes I'm, don't worry about me..." She said.

'Damn it...'

......

After the investigation meeting, every body left the HQ and hitori or tsukiku with her father were the last departures...

"Excuse me Mr.Yagami, After your permission I want to talk to your daughter privately." L said suddenly.

"M... Me?" Hitori said then she look at her uncle, he sight and said that he'll leave and let them alone.

"I'll be alright father, I can go back home by myself." She said.

"Ok then I'm leaving," he said. "Be careful..." He whispered but she looked at him bored as he left the place... "Come on, it's not like he's going out of the computer screen and attacking me, for example." She mumbled and take a chair and put it in front of the screen, a moment of silence passed between the two, hitori was looking directly at the screen waiting for L to say something but he didn't, behind the screen, there was L staring at her features...'I... I saw her somewhere, I'm sure, that features, they're not strange for me, but my memory don't help' He thought, hitori put her left hand on her cheek and while she was still staring at the screen.

"Are you gonna ask me something or we'll stay silent for the rest of the day?" She asked, L then came back to the world and said:

"I'm sorry, I was just deeply thinking" he said, hitori then smiled softly... "It's ok, is there any thing you want me to answer about?"

"As I said last, you look so intelligent but still, I have to make sure of your investigative skills" L said to her.

"Do whatever you want, I never mind" She said, a smile of confidence didn't leave her face.

"Alright then, first, what do you thought about Kira?" L asked, hitori take a deep breath and look to the other side.

"I'll answer, but I want you to know, What I will say now doesn't support Kira, but it's not opposed to what he does either," she sight " The world is very damaged because of the criminal activities that are scattered everywhere, the world is already rotten and someone had to stop all this but, no one had the courage to do that... until Kira appeared, no matter what kind of powers Kira used, I am certain that he saw that he is the right person To do this, I can say that his goal is good but he is trying to achieve this goal in the wrong way, that is, he is doing the right thing in the wrong way," She end with a sad emotions on her face but then she back to look at the screen with her softly smile.

"I hope I didn't confused you." She said.

"No at all, I understand your point"...' Her view of Kira is neutral, she collected all the negative and positive points in Kira's personality and his actions and reached this point, I cannot deny that this is a very smart and fair thinking as well, she impressed me so far, but to see her skills in the investigation...' ..."Alright miss.Yagami, I am sure that you have been interested in the Kira case since it was considered an official issue and you must have, given your wits, discovered something, would you like to share what you discovered?" L asked.

"Although maybe I will say, you probably know it beforehand, but of course why not? On the day that you challenged Kira by asking him to kill you he couldn't, even though he killed the fake L and many criminals, so why didn't he kill you? The only thing that answered me this question is that there are conditions for Kira to kill," she said.

"Conditions? Like what?" L asked.

"Listen, all the criminals who died in addition to the fake L, their names were clear and their faces were spread in all media, unlike you. Your name and face are hidden from the world and nobody knows your identity at all, and for this reason Kira was unable to kill you." She answered.

"But if I told you that Kira doesn't want to kill me from the beginning?"

"This will be Kira's biggest mistake. It is so dangrous for him to let the world greatest detective alive. That way will be the end for him, and if you aren't sure of a belief in the terms of the killing, then what about the fake L? Why he was still alive until the day when his name and face were shown for the entire city of Kanto? I am sure that there are more criminals who are like the fake L, have been arrested with total secrecy and are still alive until now, and I bet you that they will stay alive so unless Kira is able to get their names." She said with a confident smile on her face.

"... Amazing, you really impressed me miss.Yagami, do you have another thing you want to share with me?"

'What's wrong? Is he trying to trick me to get the investigations I got before him? It's okay, I'm not interested, so what I'm going to say now is basically here.' She thought then smile.

"Of course, In the past few hours, I found that Keira kills criminals at specific times and on certain days as well. Japan's time on business days is from 4 to 2 pm, especially between 8 pm and midnight, the time between these two hours makes up 68 percent of the time of the murders That is, when Kira is more active, but on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, they are divided equally from 11 am to late at night, it may not seem clear, but these times may indicate that Kira may be a student, but how did you know? Simply put, I am a university student and these times are similar to the times I go to my university sometimes," She explain...
" But today's deaths yesterday and yesterday came differently, as 23 criminals died today, one after the other, every hour and this puzzled me. How can a student kill 46 criminals one after the other? By this, the percentage that Keira may be a student has decreased or may not exist"... She said.

"What you said is true, Miss.Yagami, but..."

"But..." She interrupt him"I think that this is not the thing that Kira wanted us to see ... 'I can freely control the time of the criminals 'death." This is what Kira wanted us to see, the powers that Kira uses must enable him to determine the time he wants to kill criminals and there must be Other secrets underlie this power" She end, From behind the screen, L was smiling, this girl really impressed him to the point that he couldn't find words describing her intelligence and accuracy of her observation.

"I don't know what to say, you really outperformed me for discovering all these details in such a short time. If it were possible, you were supposed to get the L title, Miss Yagami."

"Me?" She asked.

"Of course, You are clearly much smarter than me and deserve an L title more than me" He said.

"No ... not to this extent, Master L, I may be smart in matters related to investigation, cases, and mysteries, but ... in setting plans and making decisions, I am unsuccessful in this, I don't even know what are the consequences of my intervention in this case, but you ... You are good at planning and know when to choose the right decision at the right time. Therefore, you deserve an L title more than me and since the title belongs to you, the matter is over." She said and look at the other side And there is a red line on her face, Perhaps because of what he said to her, or what she said about him.

'I can't believe my big mouth and I should have said such a thing. You could have said that the title was given to him and it was over. Was there any reason for the extra philosophy? Talkative!!' She said as her face became more red, then Hitori slammed the silence when she coughed and then asked L:

"Mister L? May I ask a question?" She said and still looking to the other side.

"Of course, ask any thing."

"What... what happened today, when those three officers left, Matsuda-san told me what happened, I wanted to know... were you annoyed by what they did?" She hesitantly asked but she didn't get any aswer, she looked at the ground disappointmently...

'How foolish I am, I shouldn't have asked such a question, you better leave before you embarrass yourself more, talkative!' She thought but she heard someone said:

"Yes, I think so," L said... "But I'm not upset because they left the investigation team, but rather because they might be right, you... and Mr.Yagami and all the investigators here are sacrificing their lives to catch Kira, while I'm hiding behind this screen, it's not like I'm sacrificing your life and the lives of the rest of the investigators so that this can be resolved The case, and I am the hero in the end, this is not somewhat fair, Because some people do not deserve to die..." L said.

'Wait, what did he mean by "some people?"...'

"But I have expectations that the number of investigators in the case will decrease and their number becomes very little. I want you to be among the investigators who will remain because something important will happen then." He said.

"Me?..." She surprised... "Alright, I'll try to persuade my father to let me stay until this happens." She smiled and behind the screen, L smiled to but he noticed something.

"Are you okay, Miss.Yagami? Your face looks a little red." L said.

"R... Really?! I... I'm ok, D... Don't worry about that," She said nervously... "If you had finished asking me, could I leave? Uncle... I mean, my dad will worry about me a lot if I get late." She said looking at the other side.

"I'm already end up my questions, you can leave miss.Yagami, I was pleased to speak with you." L said.

"It was an honor for me to speak to you personally ... I mean from behind the screen... I mean... You understood my intention."

"Yes I'm..."

"Ok then, It was an honor to talk to you again, see you!" She said and started running towards the door.

"See you soon miss.Yagami, please take care of yourself."

She stop, She looked at him with the corner of her eyes then smiled... " I will, don't worry about that." She said and left, Hitori continued to run and passed by the reception.

"Thank you for letting me in, bye!" She said while she keep runing.

"W.. Wait! Miss Yagami!, Despite her intelligence and age, she still behaves like a child"

"I heard that!..."

Several hours passed, and Hitori was still on her way to the train station, but she was absent-minded as she was thinking about something... 'you really impressed me' ...
'You deserve the L title more than me'...
'some people do not deserve to die' ... 'What dose he mean by all of that?' She thought, finally, Hitori reached her apartment and went straight to the bedroom and lay down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

"What the hell did he mean by all what he said?!" She screamed... "If I get sick because of too much thinking, I'll blame L for that!" She had covered herself with a blanket trying to sleep... In another place... He was sitting in that dark room in front of his computer and looking at papers he had in his hand.

"Four days ago, I arranged for the FBI to enter Japan, in order to investigate anyone related to the police." Said Watari from behind the screen.

"This is the list right?" L asked.

"Yes it is."

'Among these police officers, 141 may have obtained information about the investigation, but only one of them, and only one, could have been Kira...' He thought then throw the papers in frint of him.

"L, are you thinking about something?" Watari asked.

"That girl today, she really impressed me, How can a normal persone discover all this in a few days? She was't with us while we were investigating."

"Do you think she is Kira?"

"Not yet, and I hope I don't, because if it weren't for Kira, you would be inspiring us to the case faster." ... 'I still feel I know her... who is she?' ...
