Wow, I'm pretty consitent when it comes to this story. I don't think I've been this dedicated to one of my own stories(as in nothing to do with my friends). I'm finding myself to be very eger when it comes to starting a new chapter. I love how it just flows from me, it's great! Ehem, anyway, enough of my huge ego...

Disclamer: If I owned Death Note, I would not be writing fanfiction on it. I would in fact, be actually carring out all my sick, twisted ideas.

Warning: Probably some language, yaoi, and of course mpreg.

When Light awoke the first thing that came to his realization was that the bed was empty, besides him. He brushed away the comforter, feeling the familiar cold metal against his wrist. He picked his arm up, pulling on the chain, determined to find the end where L's hand was supposed to be. However he came across the bracelet, open and empty.

Light hurried out of bed, almost tripping on the blankets he had thrown to the floor in his haste. He stopped in the hallway, the place was silent. The other six members were still sound asleep as he realized it was only about nine in the morning. He tried to think of where L would be this early, the first thing that came to his head; bathroom.

The bathroom door was open and sure enough the detective was curled up on the floor, resting his cheek against the cool linoleum floor. L looked up at Light, just moving his eyes. He looked a little better than he had the night before, perhaps a little relaxed.

"Morning Raito-kun," L muttered from his stop on the floor, not bothering to move.

Light folded his arms across his chest, "Ryuzaki, why didn't you wake me up?" Light asked, obviously if the others woke to find Light unchained to the detective things could have gone down hill.

"Because Raito-kun looked tired," L tried to explain before a wave of nausea had him leaning over the toilet and spilling whatever food was in his stomach. Light was by his side in a second, softly rubbing his back as he made sure to keep the black strands of his hair out of the way.

When that little spell was over, Light helped L onto his feet and towards the sink. He was also about to fetch the boy a cup but instead just watched as L turned on the faucet of the sink, tipped his head side ways and let the water run into his mouth. Light rolled his caramel eyes at L's strange habits, then again, he had been used to being alone with only Watari there for him.

Boy had Kira changed L's life. In more ways than one, though that was beyond L.

The sound of snapping pulled Light away from his thoughts as he instinctively turned to the sound. L had just strapped the handcuff bracelet back onto his right hand, already starting to pull Light into the main room. Soichiro was already awake, his eyes, clear of drowsiness, looked up at Light as the two boys walked into the room.

"Ryuzaki wasn't sick again was he?" the chief of police asked. He was truly worried for the detective, L had been sick for about two weeks. The boy looked like he was under too much stress and needed to take some time off the case. But the detective was too arrogant, too stubborn, to take help from anyone. Assuring them all that he was fine.

"Yup," Light said, ignoring the angry glance coming from his left.

"Ryuzaki, you need to take better care of yourself. Go see a doctor," Soichiro told him, parenting instincts returning to him.

"I have," L told him, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"And," Soichiro pushed, but was luckily interrupted by Watari walking in.

"Ryuzaki, another death has occurred," the old man informed the detective. L went over and perched himself on the couch, bringing his knees to his chest as he opened his laptop. "There was a young woman there, they're holding her for questioning."

L looked over the given information, his eyes darting back and forth as Light read over his shoulder. "I would like you to bring," he paused reading the young woman's name, "Shioda Nadami into our custody."

Light looked at his secret lover, "Are you planning on confining her as you did with me are you?" Light asked, not tearing his eyes away from L. The other members of the task force were looking over L's shoulder now.

"Actually, I am." L pointed to a spot on the screen before reading it aloud, "Nadami has been a known criminal for years. Only just recently has the strange deaths, caused by heart attacks, have been in her wake."

Light scowled, "She's a known criminal?"

L nodded, "But do not think you can kill her Raito-kun, her name is an alias."

Light's voice had a clip of anger to it this time, "How can you still think I'm Kira! There have been plenty of deaths since I've been chained up and kept on 24/7 surveillance."

L bit at the top of his thumb, "It is a known fact that there is more than one Kira," L told him, "If, in fact, Misa Amane is the second Kira, there is no doubt in my mind that she would refuse an order from you." Light figured the best way to win this fight was to end it, so with a quick roll of his eyes he didn't reply.

"Matsuda, Ukita, I would like the two of you to pick her up and bring her into our custody," L said after a five minute silence. The two young men nodded before heading out the door.

Light scowled again, watching L as he worked away on his computer. Was there anyway to get L out of the stress?

Have no fear, the OC doesn't have a big role in this story. Infact she won't even be in the plot line. The only reason she is there is to piss Light off. She's a meanie.
