Disclaimer:No L's have been hurt in the making of this Chappy.
ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!...thats what youre thinkin' right?heh heh. well, school and naps and such got in the way. but better late than never eh? eh?....that line is so overused -_-;
Ch4.
It was day three of both being chained together. Nothing bad had happened. The young man had not snapped back at the detective but only because said detective seemed to have taken an oath of silence or something. Light tried to talk to the detective as little as possible and surprisingly L merely nodded or scribbled his responses on paper, which to Light it just seemed plain childish.
"Hey, Ryuzaki, let's take a break" Light said getting up. There was only so much a genius like him could handle sitting in front of a screen looking at so much data; data that he knew would not lead them anywhere to finding out who Kira really was.
The detective cast a glance at Light. "A break?" he debated whether or not to allow a break. True, they weren't getting anywhere, and it already seemed like a long night with just the two of them. It was only nine o 'clock and L had sent everyone home for the weekend. By the way Kira was going, it seemed nothing new was going to happen anytime soon.
"…I suppose a break is fine. Go on ahead" L said waving his hand dismissively. Light started to walk away from the computers when he noticed that the raven had not gotten up.
"Uh…Ryuzaki, what are you doing?"
L turned his head towards Light. "What do you mean Raito-kun?"
The young man walked back to the detective. "Well, for one, in order for me to go anywhere, I need you to move as well because of this chain" Light pointed to the handcuffs, which L stared as well "And two, I said 'let's take a break' because I assumed that you needed one too."
"I am content without breaks Raito-kun. I can solve five other cases while you take a five minute break."
Light crossed his arms "Oh really?"
That…sounded like a challenge.
"Yes"
Light went back to his chair and rolled a little closer to L's computer screen for easier viewing. "Okay, impress me. Five minutes, five cases." Light just found his entertainment.
L nodded. Perhaps this will shut Kira-face up.
"But let's make this interesting, if you win, I will buy you a cheesecake" Light said. He can't say no to sweets.
"Raito-kun forgets that I am rich. I can buy cakes whenever I want" L mused.
"True but then again, coming from me, wont it make the victory that much sweeter?"
"…but how does Raito-kun expect to get the cake when he is chained to me?"
"I'll find a way, so you in?"
L pondered for a moment "what if I don't manage to finish them in time?"
Light had not really thought of this, and didn't have much time. If he waited any longer, L might reconsider his offer. The first thing that came to mind was what Light suggested.
"We stop researching for the rest of the night and look around this building." Well it wasn't really a waste, maybe Light could benefit from knowing which room held what. Plus, he truly wanted to know why the detective would find the need of having a building full of unoccupied rooms.
The raven cocked his head to the side. That is odd…just that? "Okay. Either cake or a tour." There really isn't much to see…what are you up to Raito?
There was a small voice in his head that said that Light really had no interior motive but just a way to end his own boredom much like his.
Light looked at his watch on his wrist as L opened up a file.
"Go."
"Our first stop is the kitchen" L spoke in a monotonous voice. Light smirked as he followed the defeated detective into the white-walled room.
Yes, L had lost. But only slightly. He was two seconds over the time limit and two seconds was two seconds to Light. Either way, L complied and now began his tour of H.Q.
Light had to admit, though, that L was indeed worthy of his title as the world's greatest detective. It would have taken Light seven minutes to solve the cases that the raven had solved in five minutes and two seconds.
"Ryuzaki, I have already seen the kitchen" Light said as they stopped in the middle of the room. The detective opened the refrigerator. "We are not here for the tour…" L stuck his head inside. Light rolled his eyes and shook his head at L's strange way of looking inside. When the raven immerged from the fridge, there was a plate of cheese cake in his hands. The young man looked at the sweet concoction and then at Ryuzaki. The panda-man looked back at not-kira nonchalantly. "Even if I didn't win I still get my cake."
"Yeah, sure. Come on Ryuzaki" Light pulled on the chain, provoking the detective to multitask by walking and eating at the same time. Another task was added when L was prompted to talk.
"We'll start on this floor and go up. There is nothing below us as you know because you have entered through the building that way."
Light nodded in agreement.
"Shall we start on this floor" it wasn't a question. The brunette knew most the rooms on this current floor but not all of them so he did not protest. But after realizing that the few remaining rooms were just used as storage, Light wanted to go to the floors above them.
"Raito-kun is so impatient." L said as they entered the elevator and went up. The elevator music played as they waited for the bell to indicate their stop. When the doors opened, L shuffled to the nearest door and opened it.
"Behold, Raito-kun, a janitor closet!" he said with a smile, waving a fork of cheesecake into the air enthusiastically. Light narrowed his eyes. "You're making fun of me?" he asked.
"Well, to be truthfully honest, yes" L plopped the cheesecake into his mouth as he walked to the next door. Light crossed his arms and followed. He would not ask why, the detective better explain himself.
"Most of the rooms in this building are vacant, except for a few which you have already seen that are used as storage of files and the one two more floors above that is our room" L stated "I don't really know why you want a tour…"unless…
"Unless im kira and I'm planning something, isn't that right L?" Light gritted through his teeth. That man and his accusations, Light wished that he and L didn't have the same mindset.
"Please refrain from calling me that Raito" L said as they reached the half way part of the whole floor "Perhaps this one you will find interesting." There were two oak doors in front of the pair. "Would you like to do the honors?" the detective asked to which Light just scoffed. He opened the doors.
L was right. He did find this remotely interesting. The room they had entered had many shelves filled with books. It was arranged in a way that a chair in the middle of the room would be surrounded by them. The volumes on the chair indicated that the one who used this room did not use the chair to sit on. Light guessed that L would preferably sit on the floor with books sprawled all over him.
"There is one on every floor" Light heard the raven say. The brunette's eyes widened.
"What?! Are you serious?"
L hid the smile that formed on his lips. Light's expression was priceless.
"Yes, each one is filled with two types of genre. There is a room slightly bigger than this one on the floor where our room is. That one is filled with the ones I read frequently, the rest I have only read a few times. I'm pretty sure the ones in that room have some that would interest you."
Ryuzaki allowed Light to look around and open some of the books, but none in particular held his interest long enough for them to stay there longer, L didn't expect to anyway, this library held the ones he read the least. They headed for the elevator again.
"I will do us a favor and just skip the next couple of floors, which are pretty much the same as this floor" L said as he pushed the button for the elevator, "I hope you believe me when I tell you this." Light shrugged. He didn't exactly believe him per say, he believed the possibility of having the other floors the same as one another.
The elevator doors suddenly opened. There was no rumbling sound, no ding, no nothing that indicated that the elevator had arrived but the doors just as well opened to reveal it.
Something feels…odd, L thought. The detective contemplated on whether or not to enter the compartment. Light on the other hand walked right in. When he turned around and found L staring at the floor where his bare feet were, Light wondered what was keeping the raven.
"Something wrong Ryuzaki?"
L pushed himself forward into the elevator and pressed the button to go up, ignoring Light completely. The thing went up, with no noise whatsoever….
None…
No noise…
…
Wait…
…L could've sworn that there was stupid elevator music before.
All of a sudden, the elevator's temperature dropped drastically. L rubbed his arms absentmindedly. Light was about to ask what was wrong again, even though he would probably get ignored again, but didn't get a chance to as L fell to the floor, unconscious. Before anything else could have been done, a small fog formed in the elevator and the skeletal Rem appeared before Light Yagami.
A/N:so yes, Rem makes her scary...re-appearence *coff*after three days*coff* seriously, what took her so long? XD what could she up to? and L, what happened to L? *shakes yunie* what did you do to L?!...oh right....sometimes i forget that i write this stuff excuse my ranting, ill go now. tell me what you think!
P.s: excuse any spelling mistakes.
