Author's Note:
(Light) And now for the plot line!
Thanks to all who have reviewed. Your reviews make me upload more chapters, so keep 'em coming! ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L couldn't help the flash of hatred that came over his face when he heard that voice. He tried to sink into the seat, but forgot that their hands were still connected on the table.
Light quickly withdrew his hand from L's as Misa Amane skipped over to their table.
"Oh, Light! I'm so glad I found you! I went to headquarters to see you but you weren't there! I was so worried. But then Matsu told me you and Ryuuzaki went to the mall together!" Misa eyed the two of them skeptically. "So just what are you doing here with him?" She pointed an accusing finger at L.
Light closed his eyes, gritting his teeth. "We're just taking a day off and since we're connected by this chain," he gestured, "we have to go everywhere together."
Misa frowned. "Well, I wish you would have told me. You have my phone number, you know."
L groaned a little and moved to try and sink further into the chair. He was hoping that Misa wouldn't notice that L's pants were a little tight, due to what they'd previously been saying.
He bit his lips, his hands around his legs now. The chain jingled softly and he kept his eyes on the table. He was still flushed darkly, but he managed to speak properly. "Misa, why don't you return to the headquarters? You are still under suspicion; therefore, you should not be out unsupervised. The longer you remain away from the headquarters, the higher your percentage goes."
He wanted her to leave.
"Ryuuzaki, why are you so mean to me?!" Misa wailed. But then as she reached into her purse, a smirk appeared on her face. Light caught a glimpse of a metal tool as she used it to break apart the chain binding him to L.
Suddenly, Light found himself being pulled from his chair and out of the tea shop. He looked back at L's stunned expression before he was whipped around a corner and out of sight. Misa finally stopped when they had entered an empty janitor's closet.
"Misa, what the hell was that for?"
She beamed up at him, her eyes shining. "Light, I did everything you asked." She pulled out a black notebook from her purse and handed it to him.
As Light touched the notebook, he felt his heart stop. His mind went blank and he couldn't see. Then, all at once, a flood of sounds, names, and faces crowded his mind. What was going on? He wanted to scream out, but he couldn't find his voice.
Kira.
Shinigami. Ryuk. Death Note. Raye Penber.
Kira.
Naomi Misora.
L.
Death Note.
Kira.
I've won! I am Kira.
~~oOo~~~
Stunned, L tried to follow Light, but found that his legs had gone to sleep. He stumbled a little, but then he was up. Unfortunately, Light was gone already, and L couldn't see him anywhere.
The young detective reached into his pocket, knowing for a fact that Light had one of his phones with him (L had hidden it in his pocket). He dialed the number with his secondary phone, and hoped that Light would answer. As he was doing this, he found himself walking back towards the headquarters, the half of his chain trailing behind him uselessly.
In the janitor's closet, Light stood rigid, gripping the Death Note as if it were his last salvation. His Kira-like grin was back, only this time it was genuine. Misa now had her arms around him, her head resting on his chest.
"Light, now we can finally be together," she sighed.
Her voice brought him out of his triumphant daze, and Light detached Misa from him to look her straight in the face, his hand still firmly grasping the notebook.
"Misa, who is the owner?"
"The owner? Oh, the owner! I found out it's Kyosuke Higuchi of the Yotsuba group! But I didn't kill him because I knew that you would want to do it." She giggled.
Yotsuba, Light thought, I knew they were behind this. "How did you get him to confess?"
"Easy! I told him I was the second Kira. He wants to marry me!" She cackled. "But I would never marry him. He's disgusting and old! Nothing like my Light," she cooed, her arms around him again. "Then, he showed me where he hid his Death Note. It was so easy to take it when he wasn't looking."
"Give me a pen." Light ordered. He flipped open the notebook, and with the pen Misa gave him, proceeded to write down Higuchi's name.
"Oh!" Misa marveled. "Now you'll be the owner!"
Forty seconds later, Light grinned menacingly. Now there was just one more person to eliminate. Then he gasped.
I-I can't. Shit. L, oh no, what am I going to do?
"Light, since you're here, let's go the movies!" Misa looked up at him as she jumped up and down excitedly. "There's this really romantic one out, and we can-"
Light cut her off, "No, Misa." He said sternly. "Listen, I need you to start killing criminals again. You have to go dig up your old notebook. Give me your phone. I'll program the coordinates in." She handed her phone to him obediently. When he was finished, he handed it back to her. "There'll be a letter inside of it but I want you to disregard what it says. Just tear a few pages from it, and keep killing criminals."
"OK!" Misa clapped. "I'll do whatever you say, Light." She hugged him again. "But promise me we'll go on a date soon!"
He sighed, annoyed. "I'm not promising anything. Just do what I tell you, Misa. It makes me very happy." He put on a beautifully fake smile, one he was so practiced at using around her.
"Oh, Light." She reached up and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you! Bye!" Misa rushed out of the closet, closing the door.
Light felt nothing. He had already forgotten about her. The man he had developed feelings for swelled into his brain. He slipped the notebook into the back of his pants and exited the closet. First, I've got to hide it.
