L sat at his desk chair, looking around. The task force members were all asleep, and Light was at his desk chair asleep too. L narrowed his eyes slightly at his plan. This was the only way to get Light to confess, the best way to get all the evidence he needed.
L silently stood up and walked over to Matsuda. His first victim would be him, the group idiot. No one needed him, he is useless to society.
L stared at Matsuda's sleeping form for a little while before grabbing some duct tape out of his pocket. He ripped off a piece and slipped it over Matsuda's mouth.
Finally, Matsuda slowly opened his eyes. They were slightly dazed and unfocused as he tried to wake up. L couldn't help himself. A sick and twisted smile gradually made it's way to L's face as he looked to Matsuda.
Matsuda stared in confusion at L before trying to speak, only to realize that there was duct tape on his mouth. He widened his eyes slightly and ran his fingers over the tape. Before Matsuda could rip it off, L grabbed both of his hands and dragged him off the couch. Matsuda struggled uselessly as L dragged the young adult to the bathroom.
Where his first murder would be committed.
L threw Matsuda in the lit room and he closed the door shut and locked it. Matsuda stared in fear at L, completely forgetting his chance to rip off the duct tape and scream for help. He really was the group idiot.
L stared at Matsuda, an insane look in his eyes. "Hello Matsuda, I'm glad to see you awake." He said.
Matsuda made muffled noises and shook his head no. "What's that? You want to kill you? But why?"
Matsuda's muffled noises become more frantic and he shook his head no faster. L chuckled darkly. "Well Matsuda, you did as a matter of fact say that you were willing to risk your life during this investigation."
Matsuda stared at L, dumbfounded. It was true. It was painfully true.
L took out a sharp looking knife and plunged it through Matsuda's chest, not wasting anymore time. Matsuda screamed, but of course no one could hear him. L really thought this through.
L twisted the knife through him, making Matsuda feel intense pain. "You see Matsuda, I'm going to become a killer. If I become a killer, Kira will be dying to try and get rid of me. It will make Light-kun confess. I know it will." L said, an insane laugh following. "Though, I never imagined it would be this.. This fun."
Matsuda slowly felt the breath leaving him as the pain feeling went numb. He slowly closed his eyes, a strange sense of calming peace flooding over his senses. So this is what it feels like to die? It's a lot less... Painful than I thought it'd be... At least I died to try and catch Kira. Was Matsuda's last thoughts before all the life left his body.
L smiled like a maniac when he felt Matsuda's body go limp. "One down... a lot more to go." L whispered before hauling Matsuda's body up on his back. L would put Matsuda's body in an alleyway, where someone will find him. The evidence wouldn't point to L because he'd act like he was getting a rare night's sleep.
It was flawless really.
But, L didn't really feel like he was doing this just for the Kira investigation.
He had been starting to think lowly of the people below his intelligence level. He found it boring to talk to people and now... Now they were just too damn irritating for him. L had no idea where these feelings came from, or why, but they did. And since he is such a genius, he used these feelings to his advantage to try and catch Kira.
If L became a serial killer, Kira would want to try and kill him, for he is a criminal now. Since L believes Light is Kira, he thinks that Light will be trying even more desperately to find out his name. Kira needs a name and a face, he only has one of those.
L smiled as he walked out of the Kira Investigation headquarters.
Well, this would be quite interesting.
~The Next Morning~
Light opened his eyes and yawned. Everyone was still asleep, and he was surprised when he found a sleeping detective next to him. L was in his regular position with his thumb brought to his lips, but his eyes were closed and he was resting his head on his knees.
Light reached his hand over to L and shook him. "Ryuzaki, wake up."
L hesitantly opened his eyes and yawned sleepily. "Did you have to Light-kun? I was getting a rare nights sleep.." L complained.
Light rolled his eyes. "Well, we have to continue the Kira investigation. I'm going to wake up the others." He said, no sympathy in his voice.
L glared at Light before sighing. "Fine. I'm going to turn on the news to see if Kira has killed any other people." L said before typing on the computer.
Light had woken everybody up with no problems, except Aizawa's angry grumbling. But that didn't matter.
Light looked around the room in confusion. "Hey, where's Matsuda?" He asked. Everyone else, excluding L, looked around also.
"Hmm, that's weird. He was here last night.." Aizawa said.
Light looked to L to see him let his thumb fall from his mouth and his face betrayed utter shock. Light walked over to the computer.
"What's wrong Ryuzaki?"
"... I know where Matsuda is." L said.
"... Well, where is he?" Light asked. L didn't say anything, just pointed to the computer screen.
Everyone gasped at the report.
"A person was found dead in an alleyway today at 5 a.m. It was an obvious murder, though the culprit remains unknown. Warning, the pictures about to be shown may be unsuitable to children and some adults." The news lady reported from the scene.
It showed a picture of Matsuda's body, all ripped up and bloody. Everyone widened their eyes in shock at the sight.
"Oh my... God... Who would do this?" Light asked.
L stared at the body for a minute before bringing his thumb back up to his mouth. "Well... It can be someone who knows Matsuda, or someone who was in the area. It could've been anyone really. We just have to know where to start." L said carefully.
Light noticed his tone of voice, and got suspicious. "Ryuzaki, how can you be so calm about this? Matsuda just got murdered! Or... Are you the killer?" The three taskforce members gasped again.
L looked to Light, completely expressionless. "What reason would I have to kill Matsuda Light-kun?" L said. He had a feeling Light would catch on, so he devised many plans.
Light stared at L for a minute, then sighed. "Your right, I'm sorry."
"Apology accepted. Now, how do we know where to start?" L asked.
Everyone was silent for a moment, until Soichiro spoke. "Why don't we question everyone in the area? Then we can devise a plan to see if someone murdered him right then and there, or if the killer just dropped his body off."
L nodded. "Great idea Mr. Yagami. Why don't you guys head over there now?"
"Wait a minute, what about you?" Ide asked.
L turned back to the computer screen. "I will be keeping a close eye on you and take note of the information we get. I can't go out in public, remember?" L said in his usual monotone voice.
"Oh yeah.. Well, we will be heading there now Ryuzaki." Light said before leading the taskforce members out of the headquarters.
When L was sure they were gone, he started laughing softly.
"So, you killed him Ryuzaki?" L turned his head and faced the familiar voice with a smirk.
"Yes, I did Watari."
Ok... I'm going to stop there.. So, what'd you think? Good, bad? Tell me in a review please!
