Everybody knows about the struggle between L and Kira, so it's rather pointless to add something to it. Unless that something just happens to be Beyond Birthday.

Naomi might just get revenge for Raye, but at what cost. One thing's certain. B is back, and we're going to go a little beyond Death Note.

(pun intended)

PROLOGUE

Naomi Misora needed to clear her head. She needed to think everything through. Not only had she been unable to sleep ever since her fiancé had been killed by the murderous Kira, but during the day she could barely think straight, let alone hope to be able to bring Kira to justice. Not alone anyway. Information regarding her fiancé's, Raye Penber, death, or better said, murder, had been minimal. She knew Raye had shown his badge to someone on the bus that had been hijacked, and that the hijacker had died via "accident". That much she knew, but to whom exactly he showed it to she did not know. Raye never told her who it was, and he took those secrets to the grave, much to Kira's fortune.

Naomi wanted to contact L; she knew she could trust him. It was the right thing to do, and the most logical after all. But she had no idea how. She knew he was probably working with the NPA, but how directly they were in contact she didn't. She supposed that the best course of action would be to head there anyway. To at least risk it.

But that would have to wait. At least until she cleared her head a little. This was why she was in the United States at the moment, Los Angeles, California to be exact. At least she told herself that. She couldn't convince herself much as to why she was at the gates of the Los Angeles Federal Prison thought. She signed, and began to walk through. She must have gone mad to be doing this.

Lunch time was over and the prisoners had been taken back to their cells. Beyond basically forced himself back inside and took a seat. He hated this place. Taking a look out the window he could feel what was going on. There he was. Beyond Birthday, the one-time hailed as the World's Greatest Criminal, no just one more on the list of L's past cases. Now, this Kira or whatever he was called was being hailed not only as The Greatest Criminal, but as God as well.

His fist clenched, as his right hand felt a slight pain. Damn his burnt body. No thanks to that woman he had survived, and had to spend the last two years slowly and painfully healing his wounds. While he was starting to resemble the human being he once was, he was still a mess. He smiled and a small chuckle escaped his lips.

'Since when was I human in the first place?' He thought as his stomach made a light sound, clearly not satisfied with the garbage they called food he had just eaten. With a small sign Beyond allowed his body to rest his head on the pillow. Slowly closing his eyes Beyond readied himself to sleep, but was forced to reopen them when the guard hit the bars of his cell.

"Hey freak, you got a visitor."

"Visitor?" Beyond lifted his head. 'Who the hell?'

"Your sister." Replied from the guard as he opened the cell. This was unexpected.

After being lead into a room that was divided by a huge glass in between, Beyond sat, or rather crouched down onto the chair and stared at the figure on the other side. It only took him less than a second to recognize her.

"Misora?" He basically yelled, but regained his composure after hearing himself, he never expected to see this woman again. Let alone her visiting him.

"B." Was her reply. Her voice sounding a mixture of calm and anger, Beyond noted. "It's been a while. You're recovering quite nicely." She spoke in a mix of honesty and mockery that did not go unnoticed on him. "You're starting to look more like you did when I meet you. Not that that's a good thing."

"Naomi Misora. You look… the same. Beautiful as ever." He smiled, might as well enjoy teasing her. Which was all her could probably do right now. Her expresión, however, didn't change.

"Don't give me that B. I-"

"Call me Ryuzaki, for old time's sake."

"B, I've come to ask you something." She clearly didn't hold him in high regards. He had to admit he was disappointed at this. "Kira, what do you know of him?"

"Me. That he's a bastard, a person with powers who's playing God." Beyond's voice changed, a murderous intent she had not heard since he spoke on his trail. "But…" his voice changed again, this time resembling the way he acted as Ryuzaki. "He's better at it than all the others. He's giving L quite a fight."

"L can win. No, he will win. I know it." Naomi looked down, shifting herself on the seat ever so slightly. Beyond just smiled and did the same, except he got closer to the glass wall separating the two. "Answer me this Naomi dear." Her eyes frowned slightly, as his smile grew ever so slightly. "Why would I know anything about Kira? Do you think I'm Kira?"

"No."

She didn't even move. Her eyes staring at his, as if spark was being emitted between them. "But you've been the hardest case for L to solve. You're almost as intelligent as L himself." Beyond forced himself not to cringe at the word 'almost'.

"Your thoughts could be beneficial to the case. You may notice patterns or such in his killings that only L and you would be capable of. You could help us catch Kira."

"And why would I do that?"

"Think about it." Her voice was rising. "You have a life sentence. You're never getting out of here alive."

"And just who do you think I have to thank for that?"

Her fist clenched. "Stop joking around. He's killing people around the world. Criminals and others. You'll be soon to follow."

"You think?"

"Be serious."

Beyond allowed himself to fall back onto his chair, closing his eyes in the process. Naomi just stared as he reopened his eyes and shifted his gaze from her to the table in front of them. "What are you going to do? Set me free if I help. Get real."

Naomi narrowed her eyes a bit. She had come here without really thinking. She wasn't in the force anymore, so she couldn't actually reduce the sentence, let alone set him free. Not to mention he was a murderer, he couldn't be trusted. But, he was a genius. That much she admitted.

"You're right." She said as she stood up, while Beyond shifted his gaze back at her. "This was a waste of time. So long B, I have a plane to catch in a few days so…" Her voice died down as she turned and began to walk. "Farewell."

His eyes widened. This wasn't the same Naomi Misora he had met two years ago. If there was one thing he knew was that he could have beaten L, no, he would have beaten L, if not for her. Naomi had been the one to stop him, the one to really defeat him. Had Kira brought her down like this? The one person he himself couldn't defeat.

Somehow, he hated Kira even more. Kira had done what he never could. He was killing many, while he could only kill a few. Kira had been viewed as a God, while he was only a criminal. Even L had been unable to catch him. Now Kira had brought down Naomi as well.

She was nearing the door when she heard his voice. "Kira… did you know he…" She didn't turn to face him; she wanted to just keep on walking. But something in his voice told her otherwise. And she didn't move.

"…can kill by other means other than heart attacks."

Her eyes widened. And she turned. Within seconds her hands were on the table and her eyes directly on him. "H-How did you…"

"I have my ways." He spoke with a smile, and for a second Naomi could swear she saw his eyes turn a shade of red. "I've seen news on wanted criminals, before they died, and they had a lot more to live. And a few have died by other means. Namely accidents."

"More to live. What do you mean by that?"

"It's a bit hard to explain, and I'll save it for a later occasion. If one should come that is. But the only time when I've been a wrong at 'predicting' a person's death is when they've been killed by Kira. The majority by heart attacks. But a few as I've already said, died differently."

Naomi just stared as she allowed everything to sink in. While part of her refused to believe that B, murderer supreme, could actually predict people's death except when Kira killed them; another part also told her that people couldn't kill others through heart attacks from far away. And she knew what happened with the latter. She signed.

"If you can help us." Naomi allowed herself to speak. "I'll personally make sure to lighten your sentence."

Beyond just closed his eyes. "Sounds wonderful. But I refuse to work alongside L."

"I do need him to agree to this first, however."

Naomi looked on as Beyond's eyes widened, but quickly narrowed. "Is that so? Can't do it yourself now can you?" He mocked, as she simply stared. "Oh well, do as you wish." He continued. "This might give me a chance to get rid of this boring lifestyle. You do know how to contact L, do you not?"

"Erm, well."

Naomi was a little taken aback, but before she could even try to think B spoke. "Thought so."

"Wait, I can still try."

"Go to Wammy's House."

"I beg your pardon."

"Wammy's House, orphanage for the gifted. Search it on the internet. Just go or call there and tell them to contact you to Roger. He'll know how to contact L. If not, he'll at least be able to contact Watari." Beyond stared to the side as a guard came up and place his hand on Beyond's shoulder.

"Time's up." Beyond stood up as Naomi did the same. Without a word Beyond began to walk out, but not before Naomi spoke up. "I'll contact Roger, and speak to L. Under my supervision, I'm sure we can come up with something."

"As you wish." Was all Beyond spoke before walking out, leaving Naomi slightly confused on whether to trust him or not. But she now knew how to try and contact L. Her next step would be going to Wammy's House.

As Beyond was placed back in his cell he gave small thought of what had really happened, his mind instantly went to a bigger scenario. 'Kira …and L. Two birds, one stone.'

And with that he smiled. "And it's all thanks to you Misora. Kya ha ha ha ha ha ha-… Boy, that laugh is severely outdated."
