Here is my newest story.
The idea suddenly came to me while writing a chapter for Tension of Opposites. So I decided to write it down before I forgot.
This story will updated less often than my other fanfic because I have less ideas for this one. BUT, it will be updated.
It is not a one shot.
Read and Review, if you dare.
1 - Fall
L and Light were approaching the staircase. Light was a little nervous. L said he had a new plan. One that would definitely catch Kira.
They were sitting in a small conference room. It was about 15 minutes ago.
"Yagami-kun?" L took a sugar cube from a dish and put it on the table in front of him. "Are you alright?"
"Huh?" Light looked away from the window. "Y-yeah. Why do you ask?"
L reached for another sugar cube and slowly and meticulously lowered it on to the first. He repeated this two more times before answering. "No reason... It's just... You seem a little lost in thought." L focused completely on his sugar cube tower while talking. He had yet to look at Light.
Light was relieved. He had thought that L was going to ask him about Kira again. It may not look it, but Light was getting a little tired of the constant questioning. "Well-"
"Actually, I've been doing a little thinking myself."
"Oh?"
L added two more sugar cubes to his tower. The structure teetered slightly. It eventually decided that it wasn't ready to fall just yet and promptly straightened itself out. It was motionless. L added another sugar cube to the tower while he spoke. "Yes. I have a new plan. One that cannot fail." He stood up as his tower fell down.
"Where are you going?"
L didn't respond. He only motioned for Light to follow. Light heard L say "This one's foolproof..." to nobody in particular as he followed him out the door.
Light was lost in thought again. This wouldn't be happening if that damn Shinigami, Rem, hadn't screwed everything up. My plan was flawless. I regained the Death Note. I got L to remove our handcuffs. I even got Rem to fear for Misa's safety. That damn Rem...
It was three weeks ago. The Task Force was gathered to the wall of computers. L had just proposed another crazy idea.
Light's father was the first to voice his objections. "You mean to test it?!"
Aizawa quickly followed suit. "No way! We don't need to do that. The power of the notebook is clearly real!"
Matsuda added his two cents. "Yeah, and who's gonna write the name down? Once you start, you have to continuously write names in it every 13 days, or you die!"
L was stoic in his response. "We'll have a criminal scheduled for execution within 13 days write the name down. The deal will be that if the person lives past 13 days, then his death sentence will be commuted..."
Light was pleased that his plan was working so well. He looked to Rem.
Rem was slowly figuring everything out. She was worried about Misa.
"Watari, contact the leader of a country who would agree to this."
"Ryuzaki!"
"Wait! This is crazy!" Aizawa ran up to L. "What does this accomplish?!"
"Obviously to test whether this murder notebook works."
Rem was calculating her own plan. Only Light noticed her leave through the wall to the right.
From there, even Light wasn't sure how things had went wrong. But they did. Rem had managed to kill Watari and, for some reason, Matsuda. But time must have run out. Light saw his plan fall apart. His ace in the hole was dead. L was still alive. The idiot Shinigami had failed at the only task Light expected her to carry out.
L reached the staircase first.
Light felt an upsurge of anger. His plan had been defeated. Why should L get to have one that was absolutely perfect?! Light then realized that he had to get rid of L right now. He couldn't let L tell the others his plan. It would be the death of him. Of Kira. Of his perfect world.
Light suddenly saw his chance. It was perfect. He could easily pass this off as an accident. He ran up behind L.
In a juvenile attempt to kill him, Light pushed L off the top of the stairs.

Light was more angry than he had ever been in his life. He had been that way for three weeks. Ever since another one of his plans had failed. He was on his way to the nearby hospital.

L was falling.
He wondered how this had come about.
He flipped, involuntarily, in the air and noticed Light.
Light was leering at him.
L suddenly understood everything.
Light-kun had pushed him down these stairs.
Light-kun had hoped this would kill his greatest threat.
L flipped over again and saw the bottom of the stairs rushing towards him. Or, maybe he was rushing towards it. He couldn't tell.
This angered him. He could normally figure things out. This had only happened one other time. For the longest time, he couldn't figure out the identity of Kira.
He had finally solved that mystery.
Light-kun is Kira.
He suddenly found himself on the floor.

Light arrived in the hospital room to find it's only occupant on the floor.
"L, what are you doing?" Light sat down in a visitor's chair.
L sat up. He didn't say anything. He just sat there, gaping at Light.
Light was unnerved. "What are you doing? Some new type of interrogation you're trying?"
L didn't answer. His attention was currently directed at a passing fly.
Light walked up to him. He picked L up by his shoulders and looked him straight in the eyes. "Hey! Earth to L! Anybody home?"
L gaped again.
Light threw him to the bed. He walked to the door. "What the hell's the matter with you, L?" He was about to leave.
"My name is L?"
Yep, that's it. End of Chapter One.
Will update when I have more ideas.
Read and Review. Constructive Criticism is welcome.
I don't own Death Note.
