Wow – I got so happy yesterday when I heard that you liked last chapter! If anyone's curious as to what day we're on let me bring out my calendar…Okay should be February 11, 2013 on a Monday. Reviews are on the bottom.
Right now night time! Almost end day one, for anyone keeping track of Valentine's Day – Mostly for myself since it's easier to access than brining up Excel. Light's birthday is coming up to, at least if following this plot line- Hm.
My stomach hurts so much I ate too much candy yesterday. Barely any kids come to my house and I bought 4 bags thinking of this story, Lawliet, and now I have 3-1/2 unused bags.
Plus I like to decorate my house lots; I buy a new decoration every new Halloween. Favorite holiday – lots of little kids and I saw one Near. Poor little 10 years old with dye in his hair to make it white, and his mom was calling him Near so I knew. I knew.
Anyways I'm boring you now – back to the story! Thanks for Reading and Reviewing. Oh you might need tissues for you softies out there. I'm of softie and I cried – Yes – I admit it.

Ch 4: Reflection
L Lawliet famous detective that solved any crime and was excellent at locating information, people and yet he could not find a certain blonde anywhere. It stumped him because he thought he would find her in the cafeteria for dinner but all he saw was all the whammies asking for him to come and sit by them. Luckily Near was in the cafeteria as well sitting in his isolated table drawing out what looked to be a map for whatever case he was working on. L moved over to him, peering over his shoulder to see the map had some sort of code on. A code which he deciphered it quickly and tried to point out the answer to Near but Near snapped his head back toward L glaring.
He forgot Near hated when he helped so L retracted his arm and sat down beside him whether he liked it or not. L wanted to see just how fast Near could solve it but Near closed the notebook he was working in and just continued to glare at L.
"What do you want L?" Near snapped, L figured he was angry because he didn't get to join him on the Kira case as anticipated.
"Near you know if I had died you would have been able to take my place in the Kira case. You and Mello both would have as my successors." Near looked confused, and reached up surprisingly to rest his hand on L's forehead.
"Strange, your temperature seems to be correct so you're not ill." Near muttered as he lowered his hand to feel L's pulse for signs that L might have a problem he didn't know about. "And you're pulse accurate as well."
"Near, why are you-"
"Well there is a huge bump on your head I assume it's from your fiancé Amane-san. L this might come at a shock but I think you've lost your memory. I told you Amane-san was bad news especially as violent as she looks to be. No wonder, after all, she was the second Kira." He continued to ramble off to himself and L couldn't believe that Near just said that to him.
Did Near just say he lost his memory? He said that Amane was his fiancé and she was the 2nd Kira? There wasn't a second Kira when he did the case so what was Near about? In response a memory flashed through his mind.
I can't believe you! Standing in the rain like it's alright to get sick! What were you thinking Ryuzaki? She exploded and he cringed. You're soaking wet you know. She turned to Light and snatched the towel out of his hand and wrapped it around L tenderly.
And you're also a real idiot you know…Misa kissed him on the forehead right in front of Light. He tried to hide the blush by sipping his tea. He could remember seeing her face as red as his that day but she was different today because she her tough attitude and glanced back at Light.
…You Light, just witnessed the second Kira's first act of betrayal. What will you do now, Kira?
So there was a second Kira?
Yes, Misa was the second Kira during the case. She and Light were together during that timeline. A voice answered and L blinked that sounded like his voice. Was that the other him, the one Misa loved? He tried to ask more questions but no reply came. It appeared he'd have to get his answers from Misa or Near.
Near won't know anything between Misa and I, he couldn't even see her most of the time He only knows what the two idiots blab out to people. Couldn't see her? This girl sounded stranger by the second and not to mention dangerous to be involved with.
"I'm going to go find Misa." He announced to Near who just shrugged.
"Make sure she hits you harder than last time so you can remember." Near replied making L frown at that thought. Misa's punches hurt really badly. He didn't want to suffer another blow even if it would return his memories.
"Near do you know how close Misa was to Light?" L asked, feeling a bit jealous. Near gave him a blank look while placing his small sugar cubes one next to the other.
"Why are you asking me this? Wouldn't Misa be the better one to ask that or Matt and Mello considering you all worked together on the case. Now please just go because I have work to get done. I have no time to spare talking about pointless relationships."
I told you that he wouldn't help you. Near just isn't that kind of person. L sighed thanking Near who didn't reply and went off to find Misa.
He tried the whammies classrooms next, than outside but it was much too late, afterwards he went to Sara's room it was empty, and even Rodger's room which he didn't see them either. L was tired, he could look for her another time he went back to his room to sleep and there on his door was a note. He took it and it read in capitalized letters, 'NO PERVERTED DADDYS.' L frowned, knowing he finally found them hiding in his room. He looked up and there was another letter too this time it was written a lot nicer then the crayon one. This one said, 'Sleep on the couch Lawliet.' A raincloud formed over his head realizing Misa basically threw him out because the door was locked.
This wasn't fair, that was his room. He tried to turn the handle and push slightly no anvil. He was about to knock but paused what if Sara was sleeping? L clenched his hand trying to glare through the door at that blasted woman Misa. No matter L was in a school full of highly trained individuals. He would not lose to her, not a chance.
L retreated just for a few minutes back to Rodgers office. The old man busy filing his papers about the next field trip the kids would take for an outside outing experience. He watched L dart over to the filing cabinet that had every child personal records. Rodger decided not to ask since L had that determined look on his face. L flipped through each page reading name and skill. Finally he found it the one that would help him. Yes he would not lose.

This child L hadn't spoke too much because he wasn't a very nice one compared to the other kids. It wasn't that he was anti-social no he was a bit of a brat. L knocked on the door and soon he heard loud stomping noises because the kid liked to impersonate Godzilla and walk around with huge thumping movements. The door sounded as if he was having a hard time open and then a loud clatter of something heavy hit the ground. The door swung open and the object on a ground was a huge lock.
"Rodger your stupid locks are so easy, I told you that I'll NEVER be satisfied until you really put a good lock on it." The boy shouted at L and he blinked when he realized it was L. L raised his hand in a friendly wave.
"Hey Pierce." SLAM – he shut the door on L's face. L tried to tap the door but only a yell of go away loser was his response. An angry throb passed through L and he tapped the door again. "Pierce I need your help on a special mission." L tried to persuade the kid.
"What's in it for me?" L tapped his chin and couldn't think of an answer. "Nothing, nothing at all – screw your missions L, you suck! Go choke on some candy or something! Stop wasting MY time!" L really hated this kid but he needed his help because his laptop was in there and Misa could be uploading files and planting evil viruses and god knows what. She could be erasing all his top secret files! He needed this locking picking champion to come break into his room.
All whammies had a certain something that mirrored him he just needed to find that one element and use it to get this kid to help him out. Now what did Pierces file say?
I can't believe you forgot Pierce he's one of my favorite students. The other L came out of the blue. I was the one who came up with his name. L slapped his forehead at the pride the other L had for this little monster.
If he's really your pride and joy – how come he hates you so much?!
Pierce noticed you didn't bring him the magazines. The kid likes the newest bathing suit magazines – hop to it if you want to get to Misa.
This kid…He takes after our perverted side?L looked bent out of shape; these kids were going to be the death of him. He wasn't going to give a little kid a magazine of women. Those were his magazines man. Pierce would have to get his own. The other L was trying to tell him that sharing is caring and L really didn't care because those were his magazines - no one else's. There must be another way. That's when the idea sprung into his mind, yes it was perfect after all it's not like it would affect him in the long run.
"Pierce if you come help me you might see a really pretty model. Her names Misa and she would just love to be your friend."
Hey, hey, what the HELL are you doing? The other L asked, sounding annoyed. L smirked, and soon enough the door creaked open and there stood Pierce with a grin spread across his lips.
"Is it that model Misa that you're always confiscating pictures from me? That real hot blonde one with a nice bust?" Pierce asked making the motions with his hands. L sweat dropped just what were they teaching these kids at this school.
"Yea that's the one –"L swore he saw drool. "She put a special lock on the door to test you because she likes you."
"Amane freaking hot Misa likes me?!" Pierce exclaimed and L shushed him not to wake the other children. It was really bad he was at the point of bribing this 15 year old to break a simple lock.
"She said that she'd even kiss you if you could open it." Pierce now wore a big goofy smile.
HEY, I DON'T APPROVE OF THIS! "So what do you say Pierce?" L asked letting his hands out. Pierce had long blue hair that was pulled back like a samurai style. He licked his lips while rubbing his chin.
"You drive a real hard bargain L, but – Done deal!" Pierce cried out slapping his hands down over L's. L winced ouch it burned. He tried to shake off the heat and quietly showed Pierce back to his room who was taking awhile to follow him with those long battering steps.

Pierce laughed at the simple mechanics when they did get to the door. "Well I guess it's true what they say about models. Not so bright is she? This is a basic simple lock that even a two year old could break into it. I guess she wants a kiss from the Pierce master badly." L kept his lips a thin line but he could feel the other L wanting to get out. No one insults his Misa – luckily this new L had more control over him at the time.
The door slowly snapped open and there on his bed were two girls. Misa leaned against the wall with little Sara wrapped in her arms like a teddy bear breathing softly.
My two angels…He heard the other L whisper softly, urging him to go and brush both strands and give the two a kiss on the forehead. L growled, and just did that with Sara while Pierce stood behind him with a sick expression. Little girls were so out dated in compared to the woman next to Sara.
"She's sleeping." Pierce stated and L was going to apologize waving him off like he had planned to originally but Pierce didn't appear angry. He crawled on the bed and made his wave on top of the sleeping Misa. L was shocked when he felt his fists tighten dangerously when Pierce appeared to be leaning into Misa's lips for his award. Something inside of his cracked.
Pierce was so close to her lips to the point where her breath was on his but he was pulled away in a matter of seconds by one hand picking him up by the back of his shirt. Pierce turned to glare at L but almost pissed himself when he saw that murderous glare L was giving him.
"Leave her alone." L gritted out each word dripping with a thick acid as the possessive old Lawliet came out to save his fiancé from being molested by a child.
"B-but you said…" Pierce whispered out chattering his teeth, knowing when L was like this to shut up. There had been stories that were told sometimes when L wasn't around the Whammy House anymore that he had a scary side. A frightening side no one wanted to ever tangle with.
"I know what I said but you will not kiss what is mine." Lawliet dropped him to the ground and Pierce ran off back to his room not bothering to do his Godzilla feature. Lawliet approached the bedside doing something the other L should have done and placed his lips on Misa's. She groaned muttering his name and he smiled. "Misa…" He whispered gently and she stirred opening her eyes to be seeing Lawliet.
She almost sprung up at the sight but he held her down pointing to the bundle next to her. Misa let a smile grace her lips, brushing Sara's hair back behind her ear and then staring up at Lawliet with tired eyes. He held out his hand to her and gently she pulled her arms away from Sara's waist and took them. He helped her up and the Misa embraced her lips again not wanting to ask any questions. She was just glad to see him again. Lawliet lead her out of the room and Misa closed the door behind her without making a creek as she did so.
"My other side needs to ask you questions. It would be wise to answer them Misa." He told her as he led her to a wall. He pressed his hand against the wall and the wall broke open. Misa tilted her head in confusion and let out a soft yawn, stretching.
"What kind of questions Lawliet?" Misa asked close behind resting a hand on his shoulder. He took that hand and brought it up to his lips kissing it watching her blush. Her blush making him snake a hand around her waist and pulling her close so that their lips met again. It was so refreshing to hear that giggle. "Someone's missed kissing Misa, hmm?" L chuckled releasing her to see the wall had opened the passageway.
"You have no idea." He replied, and Misa smirked placing her hands over her chest.
"I might have an idea." Misa countered and he spun around bringing her into the passage way so that the wall would close behind them. Misa gulped when she realized she was pressed against a wall with her old Lawliet.
"Really now and I suppose undressing you is a good idea, ne?" He tugged on her shirt and she blushed hotly.
"Lawliet!" Misa hissed while he smirked, shrugging innocently, and continuing down the hall with Misa following close behind curious as to where he was taking her. He paused and placed his hand on the next wall opening another hidden door that lead into a private room. Misa peeked over his shoulder to see a real room. A nice big bed, a table, an aquarium with no fish inside it just plants, lights, cameras to each room, and finally assorted sweets and candies everywhere.
"This is Watari's and my private room Misa." Misa's knew to be good now, this room had a high significant factor to L. "You are the first person I have let come in here besides the two of us." Misa felt honored to be in such a room. It was amazingly done. She continued to look around the room until L's right hand caught her jaw. She turned and blushed hotly when he pulled her into a surprise kiss.
"Misa, be good." He whispered, and before she could respond he was gone because the new L let his hand drop away from her mouth. He appeared too caught up with looking at the room then staring at her. Misa made a small 'hmph' noise and L glanced at her not realizing her presence.
"Where are we?" L asked a bit confused as to how they got here. He swore they were in his guest room and Misa's smile turned into a thin line.
"A special room that you will tell no one of." L nodded at her command, her eyes were slit when she spoke so it meant that she was serious. Was she mad at him for letting Pierce kiss her?
He didn't kiss her and won't ever. Lawliet snapped angrily in his mind. L cringed feeling a shiver down his spine. Someone had jealousy issues. Misa placed her hands on her hips, and tilted over to glare at L.
"So what did you want to ask me about?" Misa asked but calmed down as she remembered Lawliet's words. He asked her to be good so she had to be nice.
"Were you ever involved in the Kira case?" Misa gapped at the question, she should have known he'd ask her this eventually. She was trying to side step the whole thing afraid that this new L would turn her in if she mentioned being partners with Light at some point but knowing Lawliet was there she could tell him. Lawliet wouldn't let anything happen to her.
Misa stride over to a nice comfortable computer chair and sat down in it, crossing her left leg over her right.
"Yes, I was involved with that case. I helped you solve it along with Matt, Near, and Mello. My part in it was simple. I was the second Kira and Light's girlfriend when I first met Ryuzaki." Misa spoke recalling their meeting out in front of Light's school and Lawliet touching her ass. That was the first time she called him a weirdo since he pranced around saying he would catch the thief who committed such a horrible crime. Misa smiled at such a warm memory and L had the opportunity to see her reflecting.
Wow, she really cares about us.
"Anyways…" Misa started up again laughing to herself. "I was kind of a ditz back then throwing myself all over Light because I wanted to rule the world at his side and be his Yagami Misa!" Misa exclaimed holding her hand over her heart dramatically. Both L's frowned and she could sense it so she quickly paused in her story to state that she didn't feel that way anymore. The new L said he didn't care but the old Lawliet seemed relieved.
"Then something happened, the day I played my fair part in finding out information from Higuchi…I was waiting for Light-kun to congratulate me and Rem – my Shinigami –"
"Wait Shinigami? Those are real?" L asked, and Misa nodded.
"Yep I don't think I would have survived without Rem's help. I would have probably been in a world of endless darkness if it hadn't been for Rem. The Shinigami King was going to strip me of my Shinigami title because I wasn't going to let Lawliet fork over his notebook." Both L's now were confused; the new L never knew he had a death note while the old Lawliet wished he could thank Rem right now.
"Like I was saying, Rem warned me someone was coming which I presumed Light-kun and I kind got a bit too excited…" Misa trailed off, fumbling her hands with a small blush appearing.
I'll say she practically tackled me to the ground because she thought I was Light. Best thing about that is that is when we shared out first kiss. Good times – especially the look on Light's face.
"You kissed me." L told her as if trying to help her just get to the point, he really wasn't interested in their personal life together. He was after the Kira case.
"What a kiss that was too…Wow." Misa breathed out with a content sigh. "His kisses are the best." Inside he felt Lawliet grinning to her response.
"Look – Amane – gets to the point please?" Misa blushed and giggled lightly at the site of an aggravated L.
"Right well I was the second Kira and with my help we brought down Kira but he escaped the first time."
"Escaped – how, didn't I stop him?!" L shouted and Misa frowned. She looked down at the ground, her heart closing up in reminder to such a painfully scene.
"No you didn't because you were too distraught because Light had Rem order to kill you and I had to get her to stop from writing your name in the notebook. S-so I – I wrote my own name in the Death Note and came to cry out Rem's name to get her attention but when I did I suffered a heart attack. I died right in front of y-you. In your arms…" Misa trailed off the pain too much to go on. Tears gliding across her face because she could remember his stricken face full of fear. That day when she came back as a Shinigami she heard from Lawliet that he resigned because he couldn't bear It anymore after she died. It was all her fault.
The tears continued to fall like raindrops and L also felt inside of him a great wave of angst. A memory he had wanted to forget rose once more to haunt him.
Ryuzaki…Don't get mad at Rem. It wasn't her-L watched as Misa painfully shut her eyes. She gripped at chest.
M-Misa?! He yelled catching her before she could drop to her knees and hit the ground. The notebook she had been carrying slipped from her hands and fell open to the page she clenched on to tightly before. L turned the girl over and her lips glazed with a smile.
Love you…Law… She breathed out before her eyes shut and L tried to shake her but she did not comply.
Misa! He yelled and still nothing, he picked up her notebook and examined it. His eyes widened what he saw. In the upper right corner written messily was,
Amane Misa.
He might not have been that L but that imagery also made him sink to his knees shocked and eyes blurred but glad to see her that blonde haired Misa sitting in the chair across from him covering her lips as she wept. She had promised not to try but this, this he would forgive her. He got back up, approaching her and picked her up bridal style. She made a small gasp, surprise and he set her on his bed.
"I think that's enough for today." He whispered silently and Misa frowned.
"I'm sorry for crying." She apologized and the pain in his heart continued to wrench.
"No, I'm sorry for not caring." He replied, and lay down in the bed next to her. She looked surprised and L blushed slightly.
"You – don't have to do this." She squeaked out knowing it was uncomfortable for him but he shook his head turning to face her tearful face.
"I do – because I love you." He replied and Misa choked out a sob, he reached out and kissed her gently. "This time you won't be alone when you go to sleep." Misa bit her lip, tilting her head and smiling brightly.
"Hai." She snuggled in his arms, and the two of them drifted off to meet each other in their dreams just like any couple should.

End Chapter 4- Tearful happy eyes. I love this story. Tissues please – someone – meh I'll find one. I hope you liked this chapter! I really enjoyed it especially about Lawliet coming back. He got jealous or one of his whammy students and over protective of Misa.
