He fell backwards his black shaggy hair in disarray, face painted in shock. Never in his wildest dreams had L ever considered Kira would confess to his crimes. Sure he had known..or rather suspected that Kira was Light Yagami, now he had the evidence to back it up.
This also meant that he had a decision to make, he could either turn him in and get justice or give him a second chance. Normally he wouldn't even have to think about his decision but, what had started out as a game between enemies had led to L starting to see Light as a friend.
Picking himself up off the floor L sighed, running a hand over his face. The confession had been caught on a single well placed mic, in a highly unlikely spot, a closet to be exact. ' I need time to think about all the parts of this and make a decision soon. '
He pressed a button on the intercom system saying, "Raito-kun please come to the main investigation room in ten minutes."
L then saved the recording to his laptop and picked up a cup taking a sip of its contents. He made a face and put in 6 sugar cubes into it in addition to the 8 he had already placed in the tea before he heard the confession. 'Raito-kun is Kira....he seemed ot lose all recollection of being Kira during his period of lockdown. It all started to change back to him being Kira once he touched the note book during our capturing of Higuchi.'
With those thoughts in mind L began to set up a game of chess preparing to do something a little on the reckless side to help him to come to a conclusion regarding Light.
Light entered the room a slightly evil look playing about in his gaze. "L, you wanted me for something?"
"Yes, we haven't played chess in a while and i feel that a break from the kira case is necessary to help boost everyone's moral. So since the opportunity presented itself, i decided a game of chess would prove relaxing as well as informative."
'Something is very wrong with this...L wouldn't take a break from such a case...does he know something?' Light thought to himself taking a seat at the other side of the table.
"Raito-kun how about we make things more interesting this time,...if you win I shall reveal my name to you and if I win you will admit that you are kira and give up ownership of the death note." L said chewing lightly on the tip of his thumb, his eyes boring holes into Light.
Light's hazel eyes widened unnoticeably as he quickly processed the information that had just made itself known to him. "I am not kira. I don't have a notebook in my possession so how can you accuse me of being a murderer?"
L chuckled to himself quietly, snapping his fingers he whispered, "Ryuuk."
The god of death materialized next to him holding in his pale blue hands the death note. "Hello…Raito."
Light seemed to squirm slightly, it seemed his controlled demeanor was slipping to the detective. L moved a pawn to squares forward gazing at his opponent.
