A/N: I would like to thank everyone who added this story to their favourties and follows as well as everyone who reviewed the last chapter.

"Since when did you write in notebook?"

Narumi blinked her eyes, twisted her head around and sighed when she caught sight of her little sister standing there with her arms crossed against her chest. For a moment there, she thought it might have been her mother asking her this question. As much as she loved her mother, she rather not have her mother read her journel to find out about her personal life. Her mother would never believe any lie she said but her little sister on the other hand would always believe her.

"I'm thinking of writing a story," Narumi lied, closing her notebook as her sister picked up . "I decided to pick up writing since y'know it lowers my stress levels, imouto."

Her sister perked up at hearing this and asked. "Really? What kind of story are you writing Narumi-neechan?"

"I'm writing a story about ninjas," Narumi answered, smiling widely at her.

Her sister slumped her shoulders. "Ninjas? Why can't you write a story with romance or something normal? Why do you want to write about ninjas?"

"Ninjas are interesting people if you think about it Sayu," Narumi said softly, gazing down at her notebook. "People consider them heroes because of the acts they do, yet they can be considered villains because they kill people. It brings up the question on whether or not what really makes something right? Why are ninjas considered heroes but crimianls who killed people considered villains? What makes them so different from each other?"

Her sister blinked her eyes and then rubbed her eyes before pinching herself. Narumi blinked her eyes and raised her eyebrows at her little sister. Why was Sayu acting like this? She hadn't said anything weird had she? She brought out a fact like any normal person would.

"I must be dreaming because you never say anything that deep," Sayu finally said, taking a seat beside her. "Why are you asking these questions Naru-neechan? Is this about Kira? He's getting really popular with people you know that right?"

Narumi stared at her sister's brown eyes and wondered if her baby sister could be the killer. Could her sweet little sister have the heart to murder people? She didn't want to think wrong of her sister, of her family but Kurama pointed out things she knew she couldn't avoid. The fact that Kira changed his patterns told her that he might have found out they knew the pattern and the only way he could know was if he had access to this information.

The fact it changed after her father spilled the news to their families made it a very big concern.

"I'm asking this question because the idea of justice is not as black and white as people think it is," Narumi answered, rubbing her chin. "Kira is a character that I just can't stand because he represents the narrow views that people have on justice. Tell me Sayu if someone murdered another person's family and left only one person alive, do you think they have the right to want those people to die? Would you think they have the right to murder them?"

Sayu blinked her eyes and without a second thought, her sister nodded her head. "Of course they have the right!"

"Right then, how does that make them any different from the man who murdered their family?" Narumi asked, rubbing her chin. "If anything, it makes them a murderer yet you call it justice? Is it really? The person who murdered that person's family also had a family, do you think they have the right to call out for justice? It was their family member who was murdered after all."

Her sister blinked her eyes at her.

"I don't know what to think, Narumi-neechan," Her sister said, rubbing her neck. "When you point it in that way then it's kinda hard for me to decide."

Narumi smiled. "I know but Kira doesn't think the way I do. He reminds me of a little child that thinks that every bad crime is punishable by death."

"But some of them deserved death."

"And some of them didn't Sayu." Narumi informed her sister. "If those people felt terrible for the crimes they committed and would do anything to make up for their crimes then they shouldn't die. Killing people to punish them for their crimes is never the best punishment. Death is sometimes too good for criminals."

Gaara had been tormented by the deaths he caused. Even though he had been a good Kazekage, a good man and a great father to their kids, her husband still felt terrible for the things he had done. Narumi could still remember the days and nights where her husband would try to figure out more ways to atone for his actions. No matter what Narumi had said to her husband, the stubborn man would never think he was a good man. He spent years doing what was good for Sunagakure because of the many people he murdered. Narumi knew if he had died when he was twelve then Gaara would never have felt guilt for the things he did.

"Why?"

Narumi smiled sardonically and replied, "they won't be forced to see what their actions caused. When a person dies then it is the end for them. They won't have to deal with the consequence of their actions or live with the guilt of what they did."

It was the best way she could explain it to her young sister without going to the full psychology of a person's personality. If her sweet younger sister wanted to know more then she could always ask her or simply research on it. God knew Narumi had done it when she was forced to deal with difficult terms or concepts which just baffled her. Sure she could have gone to her parents or Kami forbid Light but, she didn't want them to know why she was looking up difficult terms.

She wanted them to keep the image they had of her.

It was more important now than ever that her family clung to the belief they had of her. If Light, or even Sayu, had a hint of her intelligence then they would keep their guard up around her. If her siblings were Kira then she needed to find a way to get them to admit it to her. As of yet, she could technically rule out Sayu since she didn't have a strong belief like Kira did. Kira would have argued endlessly about her beliefs, telling her in anyway he, or she, can that her beliefs were wrong. They wouldn't reason like an adult. Kira would reason like a child.

For her sake, she prayed Kira was not her brother.

"Narumi, you decided to come to work with me?" her father asked, drawing her attention away from her notebook and towards him. Looking at the clock, Narumi was taken aback when she saw that the clock showed that she was going to be late for the bus. All that speaking meant that she forgot to shove her notebook into her bag and rush to the nearest bus stop, which would have dropped her off in front of the station.

God damn it, this case was not making her life easier.

"I slept in and I will be late for work if I try to go by bus," Narumi answered, shoving her notebook into her orange bag. Sayu opened her mouth to disagree but the blonde shot a glare at her sister, who rolled her eyes. No way was her father going to know about the journel. The old man would never buy into the lie that she decided to write a book, not when she constantly complained in the office about her hatred of writing.

The old man knew better than that.

"If you are going to go to work with me then change out of those skinny jeans," her father grumbled before adding under his breath. "I have already caught more then enough men staring at you when you wear those jeans."

"But it is comfortable."

"My car, my rules."

Narumi scowled and rushed upstaires to her room to grab her loose black pants. Honestly, he acted like she committed a crime wearing those pants. Her father would have murdered her if he knew the type of clothes she wore in her previous life, or even the dresses she wore to nightclubs. The old man would have forbidden her from going out until she was fifty, there was no doubt in her mind. Kami, sometimes she did not know who was worse: her father or Gaara.

"Gaara would have murdered your daughter's husband if he didn't know you would have sent him to the couch or even kill him," Kurama commented. "Your father, on the other hand, does not have the same fear since your mother can't harm a fly."

"Gaara wasn't terrified of me; he just knew better than to make me mad."

"Keep telling yourself that, Naruko." Kurama said.

Narumi didn't need to close her eyes and meditate to know her dearest friend was rolling his eyes at her. The fox seemed to believe her husband hadn't even attempted to murder Ino's son because of her. Her husband might be a former mindless killer but he wouldn't have dared to kill the love of their daughter's life. Nope, Gaara wouldn't have killed Inojin unless he had proof the boy was treating their daughter less than the princess she was.

Out of their three children, Gaara had always been the one to make sure their daughter's boyfriends treated her right and harm them when they hadn't given her the treatment she deserved. Their daughter hadn't been happy when she found out the number of threats Gaara gave to her boyfriend. Their youngest child would stomp her small feet, declaring to them that she could take care of herself. It hadn't been until her second boyfriend cheated on her with some girl from Kumo.

Narumi remembered how she had to calm Gaara down so he didn't create an incident.

"...At least have her eat a proper breakfast before she leaves for work! You know she won't be able to concentrate during work if she doesn't eat well," Her mother protested to her father, breaking Narumi from the train back to memory lane. The blonde smiled and shook her head at her worried mother before grabbing a slice of toast from the kitchen counter.

"Sorry Mum but if Dad lets me eat a proper breakfast then we will both be late for work and we can't have that," Narumi said, shoving the slice of bread into her mouth before pecking her mother in the cheek. Turning to her father, she continued. "I will be in the car so finish that slice of bacon and get a move on. I have a theory to share to everyone...one that I don't think many people would like."

"Can I hear what this theory is before we go? I don't want you to surprise me again Narumi, I don't think my heart can handle anymore surprises." Her father asked wearily.

She opened her mouth to tell him the theory but shut it down when she caught sight of Light coming down the staires. If Kurama was right then she couldn't have Light figure out she was onto him. Until she had a definite plan in her head then Narumi couldn't let her brother and sister know about her concerns. It would kill them if they thought she suspected one of them of being Kira.

No, she needed to wait till they get into the office before she could tell her father about the theory Kurama and her came up with.

"I will tell you about it when we get into the office; it is a stupid theory so you shouldn't be worried about it." she reassured her father but the doubt in his eyes told her that he knew her theory could be worrying. It was only worrying if it was proven true, Narumi reminded herself. There might have been other ways for Kira to find out. The place could be bugged for all she knew.

No, it might just be a stupid theory.

"Just tell me before the meeting."

Narumi nodded her head before flashing a smile towards Light, who gave her a smile right back. Fake, she thought to herself as her brother turned his attention towards their mother, who fretted and demanded that her brother ate a proper breakfast. Why on earth would Light give her that smile? Never in her life did her baby brother give such a fake smile towards her. It just wasn't in his nature to do this to her,

It was a good thing that she was breaking into his room later because then she could finally figure out what was bothering him.

"Narumi, you can't truly suspect that someone in the force leaked to Kira about how we discovered the change of pattern." Her father said once she finally told him about the beliefs that Kurama and her had. "There are other ways that he could have found out about us figuring out the pattern. We can't suspect the family member's of the police force!"

"Dad, don't you think it is weird that as soon as we figure out the pattern that it suddenly changes?" Her father grimaced, telling her that he did think it was weird how it did happen. She didn't want to believe it too but if things continue the way they are then she would have to believe it was someone from their own family. As Kurama pointed out, the pattern changed when her father announced it to Light and the rest of the members of their family.

"It is coincidence, Narumi."

"There is no such thing as coincidence, Dad." Narumi said. "Someone in this force leaked the information to the outside world as a result, Kira knows that we are onto him. Him changing the pattern gave us a clue that he has either a family member in the police force or he has a friend in here, who is telling him these things. Either way, we need to keep an eye on the family members."

"You realize that means we have to suspect your brother and sister if we were to go with your line of thinking," her old man pointed out with a grimace. "Your brother and sister would never do this."

I know Sayu would never do it and I pray to god that Light isn't the culprit but my little brother has been acting weird, Narumi mused to herself, giving her father a nod in agreement. She knew her brother had been acting different for the past couple of weeks. Before her brother had no problem being the perfect boy but now Narumi noticed every action that her brother did was to make him seem like the perfect normal boy. It didn't help she knew Kira's ideology was the same as her brother's ideology.

Of course if it was her brother then how the hell was he killing all these people? Even if it wasn't her brother, Narumi still wondered how it was possible for the killer not to be there to commit the crime. If Kira did have connections with the police force then why hasn't it been reported? No, a better question was how come no one mentioned seeing a relative of the police officer being there? She knew Kira didn't need to be there to kill but there must be a requirement for the murder to occur. There must be a weapon that could kill them.

Only question was what kind of weapon that could cause a heart attack?

"Narumi, what are you thinking about?" Her father asked, snapping her out of her train of thought.

"I am just thinking about how we still don't know how the killer kills them? The way the attacks occur isn't natural right? And we know he needs at least a name to kill someone so how is he killing them? What kind of weapon needs a name? Not only that, we had names displayed but Kira hadn't murdered them even though they fit in with his ideology of murder," Narumi mused to herself. "Maybe there is another requirmenent that we need to consider."

"Why couldn't you have been interested in your studies like you are with this case?" Her father asked, standing up from his seat. Narumi blinked her eyes at the man's question and felt her smile fade when she saw the seriousness in her father's eyes. "It has been bothering me for years Narumi that you don't try to show your siblings and mother that you are smarter then you let on. Your mother might believe that you aren't as smart as Light but I know you are capabile of being smarter then Light. So why don't you show them this?"

She opened her mouth to protest but her father shook his head and made his way out of the door, leaving her to follow him.

How did he figure out that she hid her brains? She had always thought with Light being the smart one that her father would be alright with having her being not as smart. Narumi presumed that like her mother, her father would have been fooled by her. Was it because she was showing an interest in the case and coming up with theories that Light would probably have come up with? Or was it because he knew for a long time that she had been pretending to be something she was not.

She probably would never get the answer she wanted.

"Life is easier if you are less smart," Narumi finally answered before her father could open the conference's door. Soichiro turned around, folded his arm against his chest and frowned at her answer. The blonde took in a deep breath. "Being a genius isn't fun, Dad. If I had shown Mum that I was just as intelligent or even more intelligent then Light then she would have pushed me harder, telling me to go to a great university and become a doctor or lawyer. The pressure would have killed me like it is killing Light. I don't want that for myself so I decided to be less smart then Light."

"But you decided this when you were in kindergarten? Isn't that too early for you to decide? You haven't seen life Narumi for you to make a big decision."

"No but I am happy with my decision, Dad because I was allowed to breath and do what I want," Narumi answered with a smile playing on her lips. She wanted to tell him about how Itachi went nearly mad because of the pressure given to him by his own family because of his brains but, she knew better. Who would ever believe in the idea of reincarnation? Her father would never believe her if she said she was a reincarnated soul, who had seen what happened to geniuses.

"Narumi, your mother and I would have allowed you to do what you want."

"I know and I am sorry it took me too long for me to realize that," Narumi lied.

Soichiro smiled and ruffled her hair before gesturing at her to enter the room. Narumi smiled at him and slid into the room, where she could see several of her fellow officers pacing back and forth in the room. Her smile faded when she caught sight of the determined and panic expressions on their faces. What the hell was going on? She asked herself as she took her usual seat in front of her father. Why did they all look scared? There was no way they had been threatened since neither her father nor her had recieved any death threats.

Seriously, what the hell was going on?

Rubbing her chin, Narumi watched closely as several police officers marched up to her father's desk and placed several envelopes on the table. Her father frowned, glanced down at the envelope and blinked his eyes at her fellow police officers.

"What the hell is this?" Her father roared once he finally regained his senses.

"Exactly what it says. It is a letter of resigination." one of the police officers answered dully, staring blankly at her father. He took in a deep breath, thinned his lips and stared determinedly at her father. "Either you put me on another case, sir or if you can't do that then I leave the NPA."

Sochiro gawked and spluttered. "But...but why?"

"Why? You are seriously asking us why? It is because I value my life!" The officer yelled. "According to L's reasoning, Kira uses some paranormal means to kill people without having direct contact with them, correct?"

Well, I did have some idea that he uses some paranormal means but the only question is what does he use? It isn't a Kekkai Genkai so what is it? Narumi wondered, leaning against her seat. Maybe I should read up about superstitions or if there had been cases similar to this. L might have done it but it can't hurt if I look it up as well as look into Light's room for anything unusual.

"...If I were Kira, I would try to get rid of the people who were trying to catch me," another police officer commented. "Because if we catch him then he gets the death sentence."

But if he is a student like L presumed and if Kira is Light like Kurama presumed it is then we will have to find a way to prevent the death sentence, Narumi pondered, dropping her legs back to the ground and picking up her favourite pen. Twirling her pen, she glanced at the computer where L would hear everything that was happening in here. She couldn't let her brother die, not when he was her own flesh and blood. It would kill her if it did turn out to be Light and if L wanted her brother dead then he better let her talk some sense to him. He should consider her brother's age before sending the death sentence.

"Your brother knows what he is doing Naruko," Kurama stated. "He isn't some misguided fool Naruko, your brother knew what would happen to him if he commits a crime. Light needs to face the consequence of his actions and the death sentence is the only way he understands what he did."

"He is just a boy."

"So? Your brother will not be a boy forever," Kurama snapped. "It is time for you to stop making excuses for him. If he is Kira like I know he is then it is time for you to harden your heart and accept your brother is going to die for what he did."

"We have no proof."

"The proof is right in front of your eyes, Naruko."

"There might be other reasons why he is acting strange," Narumi suggested. "Until he confesses to me or I see the proof right in front of me then I won't fully believe that Light is the culprit."

"...That time L pulled the stunt with the television boardcast, L dared Kira to kill him," the policeofficer commented, snapping her out of her train of thought. Narumi grimaced at the reminder. "But L never announced his name, or even showed his face, in that broadcast. And then the other day, he told us to check how the victims had been reported in the Japanese media. He wanted to know if photographs or footage showing their faces were included in the reports."

Okay, I don't like where this is going to, Narumi thought to herself as she sat up straight and hear what the police officer had to say about the findings.

"Well, they were!" The police officer slammed his palms on her father's desk and continued to yell. "Every single victim so far was someone whose face was shown in Japanese media reports! In other words, unlike L, we all do our work carrying police , with our photograph right there on them. We don't hide our faces, we are right out there in the open!"

"Grow up!" Narumi yelled, drawing everyone's attention towards her. The blonde jumped off of her seat and stalked towards the furious men. Putting her hands in her pocket, the blue-eyed girl glared at the three men, who gulped and paled at the sight of her. "You think you are the only ones that is in endanger? Every single person in this city could be endanger! Kira is a maniac that won't even spare innocent people. If we were to think like you then no one should become police. We risk our lives everyday just so we could bring justice. If you are scared of dying then you shouldn't be a policemen!"

"Narumi!" Her father yelled while several people gawked at her.

Narumi ignored her father and narrowed her eyes at the policemen in front of her. "People like you make me sick to my stomach. Do you know you are supposed to be a role model to people out there? What the hell are you going to tell your kids and wife? Oh, I am no longer working in the case because I am terrified of dying in the job. And yeah you are right, L is the safest because we don't know his name or face but he is the one that Kira would want. It is L that dared to challenge Kira, not us. If Kira is a smart little schoolboy then he will go for L because he will see L as his biggest problem, not us."

"This is easy for you to say since you don't have a family waiting for you!" The officer snarled, glaring at her.

Narumi took in a deep breath and thinned her lips. "So you are saying that I am not as important as you because I don't have any kids or even boyfriend? Well I have news for you, I have two siblings and a mother that is always worried about me. My mum would be thrilled if I don't work for the police force and I am young enough that I should be terrified to face Kira but, those criminals didn't deserve to die for some idiotic idea of justice."

"When you have your own kids then you can talk!"

And with those words the police officer stormed passed her, leaving everyone else to ponder over his words.
