L sighed, slightly nodding. He knew in the end he'd though, probably die anyway. He also knew though that his death would NOT be meaningless. If he died, Light-- Kira would be apprehended. He nearly smiled. The game of life and death wasn't a laughing matter, but he couldn't help but feel like laughing. Either way, he won. L thought he had knew that after he died that he wouldn't go anywhere. All of his logic pointed out plainly that it was impossible that he would spiritually live on forever, because there was no logic in that, and L hated things without logic. Just like he hated that shinigami. Because after he'd seen the first one, Rem, he knew that not everything could have logic. And therefore he knew that after he died, it was possibly his spirit lived on elsewhere. That thought somewhat frightened L.
He shook his heads from his thoughts and looked at Light. Or studied him, rather. He stopped at his eyes, and the held each others gazes for what seemed like hours. L moved his mouth to form words, but he couldn't really say anything.
Light waited patiently, he didn't think he'd have the opportunity, but it was worth the wait if there was a slight chance he did. An endless list ran through Light's head, but every name he deemed worthy didn't fit L at all. He stared at L, whose face remained blank, but he knew L's mind raced.
L looked around, as if something where to come at him. He studied the door for several moments, before his eyes slowly followed an invisible trail back to Light. "Is it really that important?"
Light was somewhat startled, but also prepared for that, "It is not important whether or not I know your name, but it is important whether or not you want me to know."
L didn't really need the time to think about it before coming up with a retaliation, " Light, I know that at any second, after you learned my name, you could kill me, but it's a matter of wanting to. You preach that Kira rids the world of evil, but that is as untrue as it gets. Kira kills anyone who stands before him, anyone who opposes his ideals. Kira is riding the world of evil with fear. Soon, there will be no one left, not just because your killing them with a notebook, but because of anxiety. They will eventually feel that just raising there voice will anger you."
Light's eyes were wide, and he was a bit hurt by that. "L, I want to know your name. I don't intend to do anything but say it."
L eyed him skeptically, before coming up with an idea. "Light Yagami. I give you two day. Two. You will decide whether or not you want me to die. I will not ask you to reveal your intent before I tell you my name. When you come, I will give you your murder notebook, and you will either say my name, or write it down.

Sorry it's so short, I just don't really have the time to update in the testing time at school. It's prison(school) homework, bath, bed- everyday.
I thank everyone whose read this (and those who are waiting).
I don't require a comment to keep me going, so it's okay if you don't want to, and definitely it's fine if you want to tell me this is no good.
