And finally...
How lonely is the night without the howl of a wolf. - L Lawliet
"Ryuuzaki." Light whispered. "It's a full moon." "Yes, Light. I can see that." L muttered as he shoved another panda cracker into his mouth. "From all of the data I've collected, I can only conclude that Kira only kills on full moons." L nodded and continued to munch loudly. "Do you think we should go out looking for him?" Light asked. L almost spit his food onto the computer screen in front of him. "Absolutely not."
"But you know that there are always several human and animal footprints around the area where the victim died." Light reasoned. "Kira might stick around to watch people die." L frowned. "Then feel free to search for him on your own. But I am not going." Light sighed. "Fine." He turned on his heel and grabbed his coat, a gun, and a flashlight. L spun around in his chair. "You can't be serious." "I'm going to catch Kira." Light said as he reached the door. "No matter what." L stood up and sighed. "I'm going with you." Light smiled.
It was eerily silent as Light and L quickly padded in and out of alleys and streets. "This is pointless." L growled. "We've been walking around for hours." "Cheer up, Ryuuzaki." Light smiled. "This might be our chance to catch Kira." "If we don't see anything in twenty minutes, we're going back." L huffed. "Watari and your father will not be pleased that we snuck out." Suddenly, a loud scream caught their attention.
"This way!" Light exclaimed and took off towards a dimly lit street. L grunted and sped after him. Light slid to a stop at the entrance to a subway. L shook his head. "I refuse to go down there." "Relax, Ryuuzaki." Light whispered. "I have a flashlight." Light slowly led the way down the concrete stairs into the darkness. "What am I stepping in?" L groaned. "It feels sticky."
Light flicked on the flashlight and screamed. Three bodies lay on the ground. They had been torn up, almost to the point that they could not be recognized as human. Blood was pooled around Light and L's feet. "Do you think Kira could have done this?" Light whimpered. "Perhaps." L whispered. He cocked his head as a strange sound echoed around them. "What was that?" Light whispered. L said nothing, and slowly shuffled in the direction that the noise had come from.
Light whimpered and followed. The beam from his flashlight revealed smears of blood along the walls. "Kira isn't usually this violent with his killings, is he?" Light asked. "No." L whispered in a monotone. L froze as something a few feet in front of him shuffled across the concrete. "Turn around!" He hissed. "And run!" Light yelped and sprinted at full speed in the other direction. "Light-kun!" L screamed. "It's chasing us!"
Light grunted as he slammed into a wall. "It's a dead end!" He cried. L huddled against him. "That is not Kira." L gasped. Light's eyes widened at the hint of fear in L's voice. Light shined his flashlight across the wall. "Ryuuzaki! There's another pathway!" He cried. He grabbed L's hand and pulled him around a corner. "Light-kun!" L panted. "If we die, I just want to inform you that I love you." Light almost tripped over his own feet. "I love you, too." Light confessed.
L suddenly pulled Light to a stop. "It's not following us." He whispered. Light slowly turned and shined his flashlight down the dark hallway. "Is anyone there?" He called. "Please reveal yourself." L choked. A few seconds passed before Light caught a glimpse of something near the end of the hallway. His breath caught in his throat. Yellow eyes glinted in the flashlight's beam. "Oh God." L whispered. "Light-kun. Run."
Light turned and sprinted with L's hand in his. As he slid to turn a corner, L screamed. "Ryuuzaki!" Light cried. He stared at L's almost lifeless body and franticly pulled him up. He gasped at L's surprisingly light weight and slung him over his shoulder. Light pounded down the hallway, with L sagging against him and the thing behind him grunting.
Light's shoulder began to feel wet. He quickly ran his fingers under L and brought them into the light. He gasped. They were covered with blood. Tears streamed down his cheeks. "Don't give up, Ryuuzaki!" He cried. L mumbled and twitched. Light screeched as his foot caught on something and his face quickly met the ground. He rolled onto his back and shined the flashlight down the hallway. He gasped at the huge figure that loomed over him. He screamed and grabbed L, stood up, and took off in the other direction. He glanced backwards as the thing began to run on two legs, then jumped to all fours and began sprinting towards him.
Light skidded to a stop in front of a large pipe. It would surely lead to a manhole under the street. He shoved L inside and climbed inside after him. It was much harder to get inside than he had expected. His hands slipped underneath him on slime and moss. He desperately attempted to pull his legs in. Light suddenly screamed as a sharp pain shot through his leg. He flailed around and gasped as his leg ripped free. He climbed inside and pulled L further into the pipe. The creature roared and scratched at the pipe. It was obviously too big to fit.
Light sobbed and dragged L over slimy lumps in the pipe. "You'll be alright, Ryuuzaki." He sniffled. His leg throbbed and stung. Light suddenly gasped as his head spun and he collapsed. "Ryuuzaki." he whispered.
Light slowly opened his eyes and moaned. He glanced to his left and saw L smiling over him. "You're awake." He whispered. Light nodded and coughed. His eyes widened as L pressed his lips against his. "Thank you for saving me." L murmured. "Are you alright?" Light asked. L shook his head and pointed to a torn spot soaked with blood on his shirt. Light gasped as L pulled his shirt away to reveal three large wounds on his shoulder.
"Oh my God, you're leg!" L gasped. He quickly crouched over Light's leg and lifted it up. Light cried out in pain. "It appears that something bit you." "Shouldn't we get back to headquarters?" Light groaned. L nodded and pointed upwards with a long, pale finger. Light looked up to see light streaming down from an open manhole. "Come on." L sighed and helped Light limp to the ladder.
Chief Yagami gasped as Light and L stumbled in the door. "Where have you two been?" He demanded. "In the subway, looking for Kira." L mumbled. "I am surprised at you, Light!" Yagami exclaimed. "And even more at you, Ryuuzaki!" His eyes widened as he noticed their wounds. "We have to get you to a hospital."
After a month of agony and boredom, Light's leg had finally healed. And a lot faster than he'd expected. But he did have a large scar. L did also.
Light glanced up at the full moon. "Ryuuzaki?" He asked. "Yes, Light?" L mumbled in a monotone. "You don't think that thing that attacked us was a werewolf, do you?" "The thought crossed my mind." L muttered. "If it was, and it scratched you and bit me, does that make us werewolves?" "Nonsense." L laughed. "Werewolves don't exist. I was foolish to suggest that."
Light suddenly gasped in pain. "Ryuuzaki!" He cried. L also grunted in pain. "What's happening?" Light cried. "I'm afraid I was incorrect." L whispered. "Tonight, Kira will not be attempting to kill us. We will be attempting to kill Kira. And others along with him." Light's eyes widened.
The two stepped outside into the darkness. "We will not attempt to kill each other." L explained. "Because we were infected by the same werewolf." "We should run." Light whispered. "I don't want to be anywhere near people when we transform." L nodded and they sprinted, desperately attempting to get lost.
Light grunted and fell to his knees. He watched L do the same, Before plunging into darkness.
L slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He gagged at the horrible taste in his mouth. He glanced around to see Light lying a few feet away. Light's clothes were torn and bloodied. L looked down to find his clothes in the same condition. He looked to his side and gasped when he saw a large dog, hardly recognizable due to the fact that most of its flesh was missing, Light moaned and sat up. "What happened?" "It appears we have killed." L replied grimly.
L and Light quietly padded through the doors of headquarters. L quickly rushed to a computer and started typing. "Oh no." He whispered. Light jumped at the sound of someone sneezing. They rushed up to their room to clean up and change clothes.
L grimly trudged down the stairs behind Light. Matsuda looked up. "Guys! There you are! Did you hear?" He asked. "There were almost twenty deaths last night! All mauled to death!" "May we have a moment alone?" Light asked. Matsuda nodded and left the room. "Do you think..." L cut Light short. "Yes. We killed those people." Light sighed and put his head in his hands. "I'm afraid that it will not be Kira alone that the task force will be searching for anymore." L whispered.
