"Ryuzaki!" an angry female voice called. The Kira Task Force members looked up just in time to see the furious blonde Misa enter the room. Her wild blue eyes scanned the room before settling on the raven haired detective sitting with his back to her.

"Ryuzaki," she repeated,” Where's my Raito-kun? You're working him to death on this Kira case aren't you?" Misa glared at the man who had yet to acknowledge her. Her eyes flashed dangerously.

"Misa-Misa please calm down." Matsuda said entering his adoring puppy mode and rising from his desk. The blond ignored him and stalked across the room to the detective. She grabbed the back of his rolling chair and rudely spun him around so he was facing her.

"Where's my Raito-kun?" she demanded. Onyx eyes flashed with annoyance while cerulean ones flashed in anger.

"Raito-kun is not here." Ryuzaki stated, his voice emotionless, "As of yesterday the task force members and I have been trying to determine his where abouts." Misa gasped, her expression now horrified.

"Raito-kun's lost?" she shrieked in panic. Soichiro and Matsuda were at her side trying to lead her away from the detective.

"Don't worry Misa-Misa," Matsuda said trying to console the distraught pop star, "We'll find him." Ryuzaki turned back to his computer screen.

"Miss Amane," Ryuzaki questioned, "Did Raito-kun happen to contact you before he went missing?" He cast the blond a sideway glance.

"No he didn't." Misa confessed sadly.

"Tell me,” Ryuzaki said, “How exactly did you come to know that Raito-kun was missing?" The detective's eyes were completely fixed on the girl next to him trying to find any sign of dishonesty.

"Well he calls me all the time, so when he suddenly stopped I thought for sure you were keeping him all to yourself." Misa said. Ryuzaki brought his thumb to his lips, an unconscious habit which meant he was analyzing everything the blonde said. He hadn't seen any sign that Misa was lying.

"Is that so?" Ryuzaki said with seeming indifference, "And what is it you two talk about?" he asked, his eyes still focused on her. He saw a surprise and caution flash over her face before she answered.

'Oh... er...you know... c-couple stuff." She said lamely. The detective could practically read lie written all over her face. "Uh... s-speaking of which, you have got to start letting Raito-kun spend more time with me. We haven't been on a date in forever."

Ryuzaki tuned her out as the blond began to rant about the negative impact he was having on "her" Raito-kun.

His mind was busy processing this new information. Misa obviously didn't know where Raito was. She had also been getting orders from him and was panicking because she didn't know what to do without him. But why would Raito do that? He wondered. If the brunette were really Kira why would he suddenly disappear and leave his partner, because Misa was clearly the second Kira, behind with no instructions? All this pointed to Raito telling the truth that night. His memory of that time took over.

He remembered cornering the teen in one of the many hallways of the building, forcing the brunette against the wall and demanding an explanation for the teen's odd behavior.

Then that confession. The one that had rattled him so much he had flat out accused Raito of lying. That it was nothing but a trick to confuse him just like Kira would want.

Ryuzaki shook his head. He didn't want to remember that night. 'Brought it on yourself.' was his last thought before his attention was captured by Misa who was arguing with the other members as to what should be done to find Raito. Ryuzaki glared in annoyance. This had gone on long enough.

"Thank you for clearing a few things up Amane-san." The raven said his voice as emotionless yet cold, "Matsuda please escort Amane-san off the premises."

"Oh! But Misa-Misa wanted to help find Raito-kun." The pop star protested, resisting Matsuda's attempts to lead her away.

"I'm afraid that at this point your presence would only be a hindrance." Ryuzaki said. Misa glared at him, her temper flaring once again.

"What are you trying to say? That I'm just in the way?" She demanded.

"Precisely" Ryuzaki said facing her and giving her a pointed glare. Misa's anger peaked and she lunged at the detective, her long, manicured nails coming within inches of his face before she was stopped by Matsuda and Aizawa and forced to leave.

"You could be a little nicer to her." Soichiro said solemnly, "She's just worried like the rest of us. Maybe more so." he added as he saw the hysterical girl putting up a decent fight against the two officers trying to get her out of the building.

"I merely told her the truth." Ryuzaki said, "However, we must focus on the task at hand, and that is finding Raito-kun.We are going to search the bridge he crossed and the river beneath it."

"Again?" Soichiro asked, "We've already searched there. There's nothing to be found."

"We are going to search further." Ryuzaki said, "We'll the entire part of the river going downstream."

"That could take a while." Soichiro commented.

"If it means finding Raito-kun, so be it." the detective said his voice leaving no room for argument or protest.
