I sighed in frustration at the Shinigamis' exchange. "Family?" said Ezerion, laughing, "Yeah, I guess it's something like that. I don't really know what humans mean by that, but for now, I live with this girl. If I get sick of her, I'll just kill her and find a new family."
Ezerion knew fully well that wasn't what we meant by family. He was just looking for an excuse to threaten me. I had no clue why he called me 'Little Sis', and couldn't do anything about it anyway, so I did my best not to worry about it.
Instead, I turned my attention back to the note. A maximum security prison, huh? No... I'd write my own name in the Death Note before I let anyone lock me up again. And if L had a plan to catch me, it might come to that. "Why stop killing the politicians?" I wrote, "If I force L to show himself, we can kill him and be done with him. And even if I stop the killings, I doubt he'll just forget about me." I handed the note back. Mi
zu must have thought I was a complete idiot to suggest I might turn her in. That would be the fastest way to get caught! But perhaps... could she be working for L? Perhaps she had already been captured and was helping to catch me in return for leniency. No... that didn't make sense. If L was watching me, I would have already been arrested. Then perhaps... perhaps Mizu wanted to prove herself in L's eyes, and take her cousin's place? I had no definitive proof she had killed anyone...
