Author's Note: This chaper is rather short, but I wanted to get the hard part over with and published. You should expect a new and hopefully longer chapter soon, so hang tight and enjoy! Reviews and Constructive Criticism are greatly appreciated!

BANG!
The gun made a deafening sound and with it came a sudden burst of memories. Light gasped as a sharp pain made his head throb. Everything rushed through his head in a tangle of painful memories and chaos. Finding the Death Note, the inexplicable urge to use it, deciding to cleanse the world of evil by killing all criminals, Ryuk, the cat and mouse chase with L, Misa finding out that he is Kira, telling Ryuk to get rid of the Death Note, it was all too much and Light struggled to breathe.
"Thank God…" Sighed Mr. Yagami in relief, flopping down in his seat. Light blinked, brain trying to figure out how he wasn't dead.
"A blank…? Thank God…? What do you mean, Dad?"
"Forgive me, you two…This was the only way to end your confinement...Please understand that I only did it because I truly believed that you weren't Kira." He leaned heavily on the dashboard, still holding the gun. Light's eyes burned at his words, and he blinked rapidly, his throat felt tight.
"Did you see that, Ryuzaki? I did as you said and I'm still alive."
Misa sat in a stunned silence as a familiar voice from somewhere in the car began to speak. They had been watching them with cameras?
"Yes, brilliant acting. In that situation, if Amane was the second Kira, who can kill with just a person's face, I think we can assume she would have killed you before you shot Light-Kun…And the same is true if Light-Kun was Kira. The Kira I know would kill his own father if need be...It's possible that Light-Kun may have figured out it was an act before the end, but...as promised, I will end both of their confinements And also as promised, though Amane says they were tapes to send into an occult tv show, we do have various pieces of evidence connecting her to the second Kira. Until everything is made clear, we will put Amane under surveillance," Announced L.
"What?! You still suspect me?!" Misa screeched in indignation.
Light's body shook and he squeezed his hands together tightly behind his back. His father began to speak but Light cut him off with a strained voice. "I need to talk to L alone. Now."
~.~.~Line Break~.~.~
Mr. Yagami closed the door as he left, leaving L and Light alone in the big hotel room. L was sat in a chair, holding his knees to his chest as always, but he was facing Light, eyes analyzing intently. Light's body shook persistently now, and the walls he always kept up so effortlessly were crashing down with the knowledge of what he had done. L began to stand up, eyes wider than normal. "Light, are you alright? You seem to be in shock. Why don't you sit down for a moment and-"
"I am Kira."
Silence resounded through the room, so loud it made Light's ears ring. Staring into L's eyes, driven by utter despair and shame, Light did something he never thought he would do. He fell to his knees at L's feet, bowed his head, and cried.
