Temptation

"I want to get Kira! It's the only thing that matters to me anymore!!"

- Naomi Misora

Temptation (誘惑, Yūwaku) is the seventh chapter of volume two and fourteenth chapter of the Death Note manga series.

Plot
In addition to fake IDs, which they are not allowed pull out inside the NPA, Watari gives the Kira Investigation Team transmitter belts that contacts Watari's cell phone. Ryuzaki also instructs to always have someone in the NPA task force office.

In desperation, Light calls out to her and tells her that it's impossible for her to talk to any of the task force members because they're trying to keep their identities secret. Then, he lies to her by saying that he is part of the Kira investigation task force.

Even though he is still in high school, he was recruited by L after so many other detective quit in fear for their lives. She is relieved and tells Light that talking to him was as good as talking to L. She says that she completely trusts L completely because she once worked with him as an FBI agent. Then, Maki tells him that she can trust Light too because she feels that he and L are similar somehow. Thrilled, Light asks her to join the Kira investigation and show her some identification.

She shows her Japanese driver's license, and pretends to write down the specifics of her time in the FBI on a piece of paper. In reality, he writes down "Naomi Misora", her real name, in the Death Note, and her cause of death as "suicide, starting at 1:25 p.m." When Naomi Misora asks the reason as to why he keeps looking at his watch, he answers, "I am Kira." At 1:25 p.m., Misora turns to leave saying that she has something she needs to do.

Conception
Ohba changed the Japanese spelling for the chapter "Temptation" so the title would not spoil the chapter's contents.
