Notes: Hello readers, I come with a new story. I know others have done this plot but I wanted to try it too. So hopefully you like it.

Chapter One:

Tonight would be the night he would win. He knew L would test the fake rule and make Rem act on her feelings to protect Misa. His rival would die and no one would stand in his way. He glanced back at the task force and knew they would side with him. They never would think he was Kira. Raito turned back around and saw his enemy wasn't sitting where he usually did. It meant the other was up to something and he didn't like that. His plan had to work or everything was going to fall apart. He stood up and excused himself from work by saying he was going to look for L.

On the roof, L stared up at the skies. Many thoughts passed through his mind. He felt death coming but for who? He knew it would hit tonight and he didn't like it. It meant he would lose someone on his team or all of them. He sighed sadly. He listened to the bells that were ringing loudly. He knew he would win the game for he held a secret that no one knew about. Well almost no one. He had shared his secret with one person who seemed to take it well.

Raito looked out the door to see L in the pouring rain. He raised an eyebrow in question. Why would the older man be in the rain at time like this? Tilting his head, he called out, "Ryuuzaki, what are you doing?"

Turning to see the young man who he knew was Kira yelling at him, L placed his hand on his ear shaking his head. He heard what Raito said; he just wanted to mess with the younger man. It was fitting for them to tease each other. Raito repeated himself and he once again signed that he couldn't hear the younger man. When Raito walked out into the pouring rain, he thought it was good to have some company even though the company was a madman who thought the world would be better off without criminals. The idea was good but the way he was doing it wasn't. He turned away and stared straight ahead. Part of him wanted the company and the other wanted to take out the threat.

Raito sighed and asked once again, "What are you doing out here?"

"I hear the bells."

"Bells?"

"Do you not hear them?"

"No."

"Strange. They are real loud. Perhaps a wedding or…" L replied, leaving it hanging. He turned to the young man asking him did he ever tell the truth. The answer he got was what he thought Raito would say. It was an act and he knew it. He knew death was approaching and fast. Sadly, he wished he could save the lives that were threatened. Of course, he couldn't since he had no idea who would die. He followed the younger man inside and gave a massage. When his phone rang, he sighed sadly. It was time to face death. He gave a sad look to a person he really did consider a friend and left with Raito following behind him.

Like he thought, everyone was arguing about what L was doing. L sat in his chair staring at the computer, talking to Watari. From the corner of his eye, he watched Rem disappear. It was time. His enemy was finally going to die. Raito stared at L, waiting to see the panic. When lightening hit, everything went black. As the computers came back to life, they read deleted information.

"What is going on?" Someone asked loudly.

L ignored them and tried to hold back his grief. How could he have been stupid? He knew death was coming. Why didn't he get Watari out of here? He could have protected the kind gentle elderly man. He spoke, "The shinigami…" His words left him. Turning around, he glared at the one responsible for the death of his caretaker.

Ratio stared straight into dark eyes that held so much hatred in them. Why wasn't his enemy dying? L should be dead now. Rem had to mess up. Everyone was screaming around them, but he paid them no attention. His eyes were focus on L and L's eyes were focus on him. His plan failed him. He would have to find another way to win if he could get a chance. He still had the others on his side.

Standing up, L spoke up through the chaos, "Watari is dead. The shinigami killed him." Everyone turned to look at him. He ignored their stares and looked back at Raito.

"Then, she could kill us too!" Matsuda yelled.

The entire room froze but L would not remove his eyes from his enemy. He looked deep and saw the panic within Raito's eyes. The younger man was trying to figure out how he was still alive. Tilting his head, he spoke, "Believe I was going to die too, Kira-kun."

Yagami looked at their leader and asked, "What is going on?"

Aizawa growled, "You still suspect Raito?"

"I am positive Raito-kun is Kira." L replied.

"The last rule proved his innocence." Matsuda spoke.

"Strange the moment that I was ready to test it, Watari dies. I presume I was meant to die too." L explained like he was talking to children. Well to him, they were children. Tilting his head, he wanted to chuckle at Raito expression. It was over.

Raito backed up a step and stared at his rival. It could not have been possible. L was meant to die with Watari. The stupid shinigami messed up. He spoke, "I am not Kira." He had to keep everyone on his side. He couldn't let them find out. He had to come up with another plan.

L shook his head sadly. What a waste of a good mind. He turned to look at the entire task force. He could see their doubt. They did not believe his words. Finally, he decided, "I will test the thirteen rule. If it is proven true, I will forfeit the L title. If it is proven false, Raito Yagami is Kira and will be punished by the law." He didn't let anyone say a word; he just walked out the door. He needed to be alone. He needed time to mourn the loss of his caretaker, who has been there for years. When he walked into the room where Watari was, he kneeled down and stared at the only person who knew the truth. Closing his eyes, he whispered, "I should have saved you, my friend." He left the room and found dust on the floor but that wasn't what interested him. Sticking out of the dust was a notebook. He knelt down and picked it up. It was another clue and proof to go against the young man who thought it was all right to kill.

Raito stared at everyone. Nothing made sense. He was losing and he couldn't even leave. If he had any contract with Misa now, he would be found guilty. When he felt someone touch his shoulder, he snapped out of his daze to look at his father.

Sighing loudly, Yagami spoke, "Do not worry, Raito. We know you are innocent and this test, no matter how horrible it is will prove to L for once and for all that you are innocent."

Raito wanted to laugh loudly. No, the test would be proven false and he would be sent to his death. He turned away and walked away. He had to find L. Find out why his plan didn't work. By now, L must have got the other death note. He had to come up with another plan. He would have to make sure Misa saw L again. Was that even possible? Could he get them into the same room? L wasn't stupid and would never let a suspect like Misa see his face again. He walked past Watari's room and headed to the bedroom that he and L shared while being chained together. When he entered, he found L sitting on the edge of the bed with Rem's death note. He spoke, "L…"

"Do not say another word, Kira. You killed the only person who understood me."

"I am not Kira. I wish you could see that." Raito replied. "I thought we were friends."

"Friends?"

"You said that we were friends." Raito answered while watching L walk toward him. Something was different within the older man and it made Raito back up. Once he hit the wall, he tried to get out of the mess, "I was controlled. I didn't want my family dead. Kira threatened me to do it."

Standing in front of the lying boy, L chuckled loudly. He could not believe the younger man would make up a believable story like this to get out of what he has done. Yes, he was amused. It reminded him of how B was. Tilting his head, staring at Raito, he responded, "Kira lies a lot."

"I swear. Misa threatened my family if I didn't do what she wanted. Why else would I be with a girl that annoying?"

"There were two Kira's. Not just Misa. There was another one."

"I do not know who the other one was. Misa threatened me."

L stepped closer to the younger man. He can sense the fear coming from Raito. He leaned forward and kissed the murderer. He took all control in the kiss. Driving his tongue inside the wet mouth, he grabbed a hold of Raito, pushing the younger man more into the wall. He wanted the other to pay but at the same time he didn't.

Raito stood there frozen. He couldn't move an inch. The kiss was intoxicating but shameful. He was making out with his enemy, his rival. He felt L bite his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. He couldn't stop the whimper escaping when he felt L sucking at the blood. It was disgracing. This was not his plan. He was ready to pull away when he thought of a new plan. If he got L to love him, then he was free.

L pulled away from kiss, licking his lips to gain the rest of Raito's blood. He stared at the young man standing before him. He could see that mind working with plans, trying to defeat him. Only if Raito knew, that it was impossible to beat him. He was ready to say the truth but decided it would be fun to see what his fiercest enemy had planned.

"L. I never… well you see…" Raito shyly replied. "I like… like you, a lot. I never thought you… you returned those feelings." He made himself blush to show his embarrassment. He needed to get the older man to fall in love with him and then gain L's real name.

Caressing Raito's face, L chuckled darkly at the younger man. He knew what was trying to be pulled off. His heart froze a long time ago. He only wanted a good time and nothing more. Raito was the one person who made him feel alive again. It has been a long time since he felt like that. Leaning forward, an inch away from Raito's bloody lips, he mumbled, "First Kira tries to say that he was controlled and then he tries to make me fall in love with him. Sadly, my heart died a long time ago. It is frozen. I do not feel love at all."

Raito stared at his capturer. How can he get out of this? It confused him how L spoke. It sounded like he didn't feel for a long time when the older man was only about six or seven years older than him. He knew the older man was lying. There was a way to gain L's trust. He leaned forward and took L's lips with his. He let the older man take control even though he wanted to be the one in control. When his wet muscle was pulled inside L's, he pushed the detective back toward the bed. If he had to sleep with the enemy to get out of this, then he would.

When his legs hit the bed, L fell onto the bed, breaking the kiss. He could still taste the sweet copper of Raito's blood. It drove him nuts. When the younger man removed his shirt, he chuckled, "Does Raito think he will get lucky and I will back down from the Kira Case?"

He doesn't say a word. He just tares L's shirt off his body, molding his hands against the pale skin. He leaned over the older man. Looking into soulless eyes, Raito whispered, "I told you that I liked you."

It was time. It was now or never. He might have a good time with this one. L grabbed Raito's wondering hand and placed it over his heart. When those eyes widen, L could not hold back his laughter. He laughed loudly and coldly.
