This is my first real DN story. Please don't kill me for my bad grammar! I do not own Death Note.
It was storming. The rain slammed against the windows like fists. Lightning made the sky light up for a bit as the thunder made it sound like the sky could fall down on Earth any second. L had always enjoyed watching it, so he was now. Standing in front of the largest window in the enormous building and doing nothing but breathing. It was the best way to think. A normal picture for anyone who could see him but L wouldn't be L if there wasn't something odd about it. The odd thing was that he wasn't thinking about the Kira-case. No in fact! He was thinking about a whole new case. In the past few days the news of someone hurting people in an extraordinary way had played with his mind. All the people who were found had strange marks on their neck and had lost a lot of blood. It looked so simple, so easy to solve. Everyone would say it was a vampire of some freaky person stabbing people in the neck with a pointy thing, but not L. He thought… no… he knew that there was more. And he was the one to find it out.
"Ryuzaki." A voice waked L up from his thoughts. He turned his head and met Light Yagami's eyes. Slowly he turned his gaze back to the sky.
"You've standing here for two hours. Are you okay?" Light asked. The sky light up again in and the flash of light he could see the look on L's face. As soon as the light disappeared, the room was filled with darkness again.
"I'm fine, Light-kun. I just need to think things over." L explained.
"Maybe I can help." Light offered but L shook his head.
"You and the other people here are already helping with the second case." He said.
"I see. You're thinking about the vampire case again. Is it bothering you that much?" Light asked interested.
"Yes. It has been a few days since the first victim and we're not able to get any closer to the culprit." L said. Light knew he was right, but it won't have any effect on Light himself. Light shut his eyes as lightening brightened the air.
"I'm going back. Are you coming with me?" Light asked as he turned to walk away.
"No, but I won't stay here for long." L answered him. Light nodded and walked away. L heard the door close. With his eyes half closed watched he as the air was filled with lightening again and the sound of thunder followed close after. The rain was still slamming on the windows, but for L's ears inaudible. Even the thunder was no longer heard by him. Every sound seemed to disappear as soon as it reached his ears. It was an odd sound that filled his head, softly stroke his ears. A pure sounds only audible for those who need to hear them. Soft and pure, loud and clear. L closed his eyes in peace. And beneath his breath he whispered:
"I can hear them."
