Everyone know those heart to heart moment have to happen eventually, but this one gonna take some time! Especially with L.
"I-I-I what...?" Jill said unable to believe. So he could here me!
"Yes, constantly through out your nightmares." L stated. He scooped up some of the pudding with his finger and placed it in his mouth. "I dont sleep much, so its quite distracting the first 5 minutes."
Jill felt her face turn red in anger, "You could hear me and you ignored me?!"
L pulled his finger out of his mouth and placed it back into the pudding. "I wasnt. I was listening, simply to hear you talk in your sleep." L said in his low voice.
"To observe me?"
L paused as he started to reach his finger to his mouth. "Something like that..." The pudding on his finger fell over onto his white t-shirt.
Jill quickly reacted, "Oh, Ryuzaki your shirt." She removed the pudding cup from his hand and placed it on the table in front of him. She pulled him up by his shirt and dragged him in the bathroom. All the while L was wide eyed and confused. Jill grabbed a towel off the rack and turned on the faucet.. She wet the towel under the running water. "Jeez, Ryuzaki could you be more of a pig." She grabbed the stained clothing and tried her best to get out the chocolate. It was a losing battle as the harder she scrubbed the worse it looked. After many more attempts she sighed, "Take the shirt off. I'll get you a new one." Jill left the bathroom and L did as he was told and removed the white top. He took his odd seating position on the toilet bowl. A few moment later Jill was back with clean shirt, similar to the last. Without a word Jill pulled L off the seat and fixed his posture to a normal seating one. She handed him the shirt, which he soon struggled to put on.
"Let me help you," Jill said pulling L's messy head through the shirt. Once he had his arms through Jill rested her hands on his shoulders. They stared at each other for a moment.
"Thank you." L said monotone in his voice.
"Dont thank me. Apparently its my job."

Before L sent Jill to bed he made arrangements with Watari to take her to get her eyes checked. Soon after some "paperwork" was done he headed off himself. He made his way into next room and shut the door behind him. His eyes stared intently on where Jill laid.
"Are you sleep?" He asked.
"It all depends...are you too lazy to get yourself a candy bar?" Jill mumbled under the covers.
"No," L said in a bored tone, "I just umm..." He trailed off.
Jill sat up. "Is something bothering you, Ryuzaki?"
L nodded in the dark and walked over to his side of the bed. He lied down awkwardly and sighed. Jill was confused, but soon realized she was going to have to dig it out of the restless man. She turned on her side to face him. "You want to talk about?"
L turned his head to look at the woman beside him. In the dark neither could tell each others expressions. When dead silence hit for a few minutes, Jill reached out and placed her hand on his chest. "Ryuzaki...?"
L flinched at the foreign touch. Jill sat up completely, leaning against L and hoovering her face over his. Jill knew that he wasnt going to talk, and she had no clue what could be bothering him. Maybe he just need someone close...Jill thought. Her hair tickled L's face and he subconsciously brushed it behind Jill's ear.
"Would you like me to play with your hair?" Jill laughed softly, receiving no type of response from L. "A massage?" Jill by now could know when she had hit L's weak point, but tonight it wasnt cracking. "Is it a case your on?" It was a stupid question, no case-no not ever-worried L.
To Jill's surprise he mumbled, "Yours..."
"How...How so?"
"Simple. What use is my deductions, if I cant properly test them? When your sleep all I cant do is go by a lousy mumble of information-its not enough!" L sat up quickly. A rare emotion crossed his features in the dark. Jill was shocked at his sudden out burst.
"You know...you could just ask me," Jill giggled at the fact that for once the great L had missed the most important thing in the case: Her; Jill.

The room felt breezy and Jill thought for a moment, L snatched the covers. She groaned and opened her eyes. She yelped and stumbled back away from the 20 story drop. Her butt touched the cold ground. Jill inhaled slowly trying to breathe, calming herself down she shut her eyes. The peace was quickly interrupted by her ponytail being pulled dragging her across the hard feeling ground. Was this a dream? She thought. Her cries werent escaping her, nor were her attempts to struggle.
"My Jill," A voice cooed.
She wanted to yell, her voice was caught. How could she warn Ryuzaki? Was she not suppose to?...
The grip on her ponytail dropped and she slammed her head on the concrete.
"There will be no, shouting here. I hope you learned your lesson...but it never hurts to be thorough." The voice chuckled. Footsteps followed soon after and someone straddled her, even though she couldnt move. A shiny blade sparkled and hovered in front of the dark mysterious shadow. Jill tried not to panic. Panic meant death. This wasnt real. It wasnt. The cool blade against her skin, was that real? It felt real! It entered her stomach slowly and painfully. God, did she want to scream! It hurt so bad, but everything caught back in her throat...all her emotions, her ability express how she truly felt...
Was that what L felt like? Did it pain him, like the blade did to Jill?
Finally an understanding overwhelmed her and she scream; loud! Her voice carried like nothing else could, she relived herself of her torture.
Jill's back collided with the floor and with all L's might he held her there. Still in a her dream-state she screamed. "Jill! Wake up! Your dreaming! Wake up!" L shouted.
Jill squirmed under him frantically shouting, "Stop! Stop!..."
L had to do something fast to get her awake. He wasnt about to let her die.
