"He's gone Misa, there's nothing more we can do for him now, I'm afraid he chose the unjust methods to help the world and I'm afraid was too involved in being kira to even care about who he killed" L took the last pocky from the box and ate it enjoyably.

"but...but I just don't understand, why didn't you save him I thought you were friends, you were in collage together, he trusted you, I know he did...I remember" Misa ran her fingers along her temples and shook had making her long blonde hair stick to her face. "I remember something..." L turned to her interested but still continuing to eat the pocky in his mouth.

"You remember?" he pressured

"That's just it I don't remember at the same time, what is this?"

"something light must have done, maybe since you were the second Kira but you lost possession of the notebook you have lost all memories of it" he was mainly talking to himself and so did not see the need to stare at this hopelessly obsessed woman from across the table. She had come to visit him after paying tribute to light, she had found his hiding place, he had hidden away from Light and Nero and Mello, for a year now, he had disappeared into a depressing mind set and so his mind was closed to the intelligence it had once housed, to everyone else this meant he was dead. However this current talk with Misa had made his mind tick, his mind seemed to de-fade and he could see things clearer, maybe all he needed was a complete idiot to talk to, to make him re-activate, he would have to note this.

"Notebook? That thing you said light was using to kill people, I don't remember being the second kira all I know is that I loved light...I love him" she wavered on the last few words taking inwards looking at the edge of the table her hands spread out down by the sides of the chair swinging from side to side. Her body language was of one who was bored but her voice tone and questions were of a completely different nature.

"yes" was all L replied with, he could not be bothered to talk to her anymore, Misa had been taken to the police station for questioning after the case was closed, Matsuda was the one who questioned her, he was a soft when it came to women and he and Mori had agreed that she was a dead end, she had been in hysterical tears, she had made no since and she most obviously knew nothing of being the second kira, at this time they were just happy to no longer have to worry about Kira. Her case was dropped and she was allowed to leave freely. L knew all of this from his intelligent men over around the internet, he was easily aloud accesses into police files and solved new cases through the name 'R' instead of his famous 'L' he had solved over thirteen cases so far only small cases but ones important enough to be reported on in the newspapers, this was so that he could work up to being well known for helping the police without a single case either dropped or unsolved. He was very thorough with his investigations and he intended to make this new world without Kira a better place. He let out a small sigh as he finished his last pocky and looked up at Misa who had bee talking about her 'career' as a new model for the Tokyo girls magazine she had apparently had an interview within which she still expressed her feelings towards light and how she appreciated Kira's work.

Thanks to Misa's 'intelligence' L's small cases had been mainly 'Kira' followers, people trying to impersonate him killing criminals, in less evidence freeways, blood on their hands was easily found, no matter how hard they tried to scrape it off L would always find them, their ways of killing differed from, poison, simple and effective, through which most Kira followers used as they thought that was how Kira had killed them in the first place. But there were more gruesome methods used as well, L's least favourite had to be the 'jack the ripper' look alike the man they had finally arrested after three months and said he had killed them because that's what kira had told him to do in a vision, L had soon uncovered he was lying, trying to look like a kira supporter as to cover up for his true reason, the usual revenge on those who had killed his family. To be honest L was rather bored on these cases although they gave him something to do they were still no challenge, they were easily caught.

"...then there was another thing I was..." L slowly turned towards her and folded up the box.

"Misa, do you mind shutting up" Misa pouted and sighed wiping her eyes and stood up.

"I think I'm going to go anyway I have another photo shoot at four, and its... two" she looked at her watched on her ankle, it was silver and very small, she had to squint to see it, it had been a present from one of her many 'want to be' boyfriends.

"wait" L called out as she went to leave he stood up and walked towards her his back still arched as usual, He looked her up and down and gave her his usual inquisitive look, searching for something in her big wide eyes. "Can you get me some for pocky?" Misa laughed, her mouth wide she moved her face close to L's until they were eye to eye foreheads almost touching.

"sure thing sugar lips" L's eye twitched he hated her calling him that, in fact he didn't like Misa that much at all she was either full of energy or so depressed, he admitted he preferred this nick-name compared to the others she had given him. He didn't back down but she moved her head back and smiled broadly. "I'll see you soon I hope, don't get bored now!" she walked out of the door. L looked around, his place was empty apart from the small coffee table which they had been sitting at on the floor, a computer on the floor with the engine buzzing and whirring and a laptop opposite, the screens had the police data logger on and he had yet to check any new cases. He walked over and sat his usual way on the floor in front of the laptop. He strolled down the many cases, none of which caught his eye, until he reached the bottom, the next page and the next. There were so many cases which the police had yet to solve, so many useless unworthy of L's brain power until he strolled down and saw one that caught his eye. The letters were in bold outstanding against the rest obviously a new discovery had been made within this certain case, he clicked on it.

"Yes" L's face broke into an unusual smile he flicked his black hair out of his face and read.

'L impersonator Killed thirteen men in Tokyo established building, apparently witnesses state that no apparent injuries came over them, they keeled over and were dead. Recent investigation finds that small holes were found within their temples and they in fact died from a Chinese poison injected into their temples, this poison spread through their body and they died of heart attacks, they died in conference on the night of 24th of March at 4.46pm their deaths were exactly three minutes apart from one another.

This unusual explanation made L's head twitch and whirl into action.

"Interesting..."
