Chapter 3
"I'll join you Light; let's create the perfect world together" "Now show me what you were hiding"
Light froze for a moment. He was going to have to show L the Death Note. But should he let L touch the note? Light thought this over before standing up and walking over toward his side of the bed where the Death Note was still hidden.
He sat down and reached his hand under the blanket and resting his fingers on the top of the note book. He took a deep breath and looked at L.
"Well Light, what is it? L leaned forward unable to contain his curiosity.
Light closed his eyes and took a deep breath trying to put his thoughts into order.
"L, what I'm about to show you is" Light paused trying to think of a word.
"Not what you expect, I just have to ask you one thing"
"What's that?" L asked shuffling closer to Light.
"Please, for your own good, do not touch it" Light said in a serious tone.
L looked at Light with a weary expression and shuffled back.
"It's ok" Light said reassuringly, "It won't hurt you, don't touch it and you will be fine, I promise"
L nodded and moved a few centimetres closer, still a little on edge. He watched carefully as Light slowly pulled his arm out from under the blanket.
"A book?" L asked relaxing and feeling stupid for getting himself all worked up over a little book.
Light smiled a little and let out a breathy laugh. "This is not just any book L, this is the Death Note"
L looked Light, his eye brows raised in a mocking way. Light smirked and opened the note to the very first page, revealing the rules. Which L read aloud.
"The human whose name is written in this note ... Shall die" L said not believing what he was seeing.
"This is impossible Light, I mean, a not book of death?" L said trying to convince himself more than Light that this was not real.
Light smiled wider "That is exactly what I thought when I first found it"
"Then why did you keep it?" L asked his voice returning to its usual monotone.
"Well, I didn't know it at first, but there is something about the Death Note, something that makes a human want try it out at least once" Light said quoiting what he had once said to Ryuk.
L nodded his head thoughtfully.
"So when you first tried it, did you expect it to work?" he asked.
"Of course not!" Light said laughing just a little.
"Then how did you react when it did work?"
"As you could imagine, I went into shock, I realised I had just killed a person!" Light looked at the wall behind L as he spoke.
"But I soon realised the power I had been given and I knew that this was my chance to fix the world, to bring it out of the rotting state it's in, I wanted people to take notice of what was happening and to realise that there was a punishment for breaking the law! When people did start to notice is when I got the name Kira" Light finished and took a deep breath.
L shuddered a little at the name. He was still trying to get over the fact the Light really was Kira.
"So I guess I have already helped you in a way" L said pushing his thumb to his top lip.
"How so?" Light asked looking from the wall to L.
"You said you wanted people to notice you and what you were doing, so when I started investigating I helped spread the word of .." L paused not being able to bring himself to say the name.
"And what you could do, I was helping you without even realising" L said taking his thumb away from his mouth.
"Hmmm.. I suppose you did" Light smiled a L, but he did not smile back.
"so how does it actually work?" L asked looking at the Death Note.
"Read it" Light said holding the note out so L could see it "It's got clear instructions"
L leaned closer to the book so he could see the writing better and read the next rule out aloud.
"This note will not take effect unless the writer has the persons face in their mind while writing his/her name. Therefore, the people with the same name will not be affected" l looked up at Light and then back down at the note.
"If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack" L looked up again at Light with a grim look his face before reading out the last rule.
"After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written within the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds" L stopped reading and looked over to the next page.
There starting from the very top line were all the very first criminals Kira had punished.
"Light, this is unbelievable" L said quietly chewing n his thumb.
"It may take a while to get used to, you will see L, I am not the evil one" Light said looking down at all the names he had written.
"I understand Light, this is all necessary, in order to create the perfect world, the scum of the earth must first be eliminated" L said surprised at his own words.
Light smiled and leaned down to kiss L tenderly on the forehead.
"Exactly" Light said his lips hovering above L's "I knew you would understand"
Light then kissed L on the lips passionately an l kissed back winding his arm around Light's neck. L pulled away a few moments later.
"So tell me this Light" L said keeping Light's face close to his.
"Why is it that I cannot touch this, Death Note?"
Light thought about this for a minute.
"You could if you want to, I guess you're going to have to eventually right?" Light answered kissing L's lips again quickly before reaching behind him to pick up the Death Note.
"I must warn you though L, when you touch this, you must be ready for whatever it is you might see, and trust me you will see something" Light said his tone turning serious again.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Light asked he didn't know what was going to happen but he did know that l was going to freak out. Just the word shinigami had scared him.
"Yes Light, I'm quite sure, I want to be able to help you as much as possible and that means that i may have to use this note some day so I will have to touch" L said calmly.
"Ok then, if you're sure"
Light moved back a little and held out the Death Note to L. L reached his hand out slowly his finger tips just centimetres from the Death Note.
