"I am L." stated L.

"Good one, but I'm not stupid enough to believe that. " replied Light sarcastically.

"Why not? I really am L." Truth to be told, this was not what the world's greatst detective expected.

"To send someone as … weird as you is certainly a good move. But it won't fool me."

"What makes you think I cannot be the real thing, do you think I, or according to you, L wouldn't risk his life?" L honestly felt wounded, even though Light probably wasn't Kira.

"That too, but it's beside the point. You simply don't fit the picture I have of L." He has a picture of me? This sounds fun! L thought.

"You know, your father can easily prove it." Not that L wnated to tell him about his new trick of posing a Lights friend so soon.

"Then you lied to him too." Light replied with conviction.

"Is there a way I can convince you that I am L?" L inquired out of curiosity.

"Of course not."

"Would you at least tell me why?" he asked.

"Oh, it's simple. L is a woman."

"And what makes you think that?" L was taken aback.

"It's funny how no one noticed this before me when it is so obvious. The pronunciation of L is the same as of the french word 'elle', which means 'she'. L probably is just some silly girl who wants to prove that women can be as clever as men." Now, this really hurt L's pride, though he didn't show anything, Light was still a suspect after all.

"… Okay, I give up. I don't have anything to say to this." he replied instead.

Ryuk was rolling with laughter.

I'd like to know your opinion.
