Chapter 8 – Confessions.

Reality soon hit L and Misa hard. Light had returned.

Eating his ice cream thoughtfully L pondered about Misa, when his phone rang for the first time in a week. He answered it immediately. "L"

"L, this is Watari, sorry to disturb you but there's a problem. Light visited his family again, this time claiming to have caught Kira." L scoffed and nibbled his thumb. How unintelligent of him, not to mention cheeky, he truly was inferior to L. He was no threat, Ghost Hunter wasn't L's normal title, but he was sure he could claim it for one week.
" I see nothing to worry about, nobody would believe him, moreover he has quit the Taskforce. His work means nothing. My only concern is Misa. She was his killer, what if he's back for her?"

"There may be something else of your concern"

"Being?"

"All the evidence Light has 'collected', points to you." That caught L off guard. He was expecting Light to target Misa. He thanked Watari and shut the phone. L jumped off his seat and wandered to his bedroom, where Misa was taking a shower. He knocked on the door and waited, Misa was singing to herself and L smiled – she really was a beautiful singer. He knocked again, the water stopped running.
"Yes?"

"Misa, can I talk to you?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"No. Out here please."

"Oh, um… alright." Misa didn't like L's tone, he sounded like is old self again. Cold and emotionless. Grabbing a towel she wrapped herself up and unlocked the door.
L stood with his back to her and she pouted. She saw him wiggle is toes, he was uncomfortable, a give away. "Ryuzaki?" she said softly. He extended his hand, still with his back to her and she took is gingerly, she was surprised when he linked their fingers together. "What's wrong? Who was that on the phone?"

"It was Watari, I have to go back to work tomorrow. My apologies." L turned to face her slowly, Misa was smiling. "Why are you smiling?"

"Because you make such a big deal out of everything, we both knew the Kira case could not just stop."

"Hmm." L muttered something that Misa didn't catch and wandered towards his bedroom. Misa's smile faltered, there was something he wasn't telling her. Creeping into the bedroom she stopped in shock. For the first time ever since she had met L, his eyes were closed. Lying on the bed, his black hair sprawled over the pillow, he looked so adorable and Misa simply had to go and sit by him. She climbed under the duvet and stroked his soft hair tenderly; he opened one eye lazily. She giggled. "I do believe I'm tired"
"You think?" L smiled slightly and turned to face her, her wet hair was tucked behind her ears and her eyes glistened when he leant towards her. Was it so wrong for him to love this girl with all his being? She was so kind, thoughtful and such a wonderful cook. L brushed his lips against Misa's ear and she sighed – his lips were always so soft. "Tell me." He whispered "What was to hold someone's life in the very palm of your hand?"

Misa pulled away and frowned at her lover "Why do you ask?" she quizzed, crossing her arms in front of her chest. L sat thoughtful for a moment, brushing his thumb across his lower lip.
"Because I would like to know if I felt the same."

"Felt?"

"Yes. I have never told anyone this, but I have killed. And I was wondering whether you went through the same torment as I did." L said blankly, staring into Misa's wide eyes.
"L, you've killed?" Miss croaked in disbelief, he stood for the very opposite of death – he stood for life and justice, why would L feel the need to kill anybody? L looked down ashamed, his dark eyes closing again. "Ryuzaki?" Misa breathed, leaning against his matt of midnight hair "Who was it?"

"My mother." L confessed, biting down harshly onto his thumb. Misa gasped, but didn't pull away, she tried to remain casual.
"Why?" she asked, straining her voice, trying to prevent tears forming in her eyes, L's depression was radiating onto her. Ryuzaki took a shallow breath, Misa realised he too was trying not to cry.

"I had a choice." He began, his voice cracking "My mother was broken after my father was killed and he had told me before he died to never let my mother suffer. I was to do all I could to make her happy. But everything I did just sunk her deeper into depression and she began to stop eating. I begged my father to return, but he never did. I was young, but I was old enough to understand what was going on. I have always been intelligent, so my mother was not surprised when I visited her with a gun. She knew I would understand her need to die and this was my choice…" L paused and took another wobbled breath.
"I could let mother live a life of pain, going against the promise I made to my father. Or I could let her rest in peace, where they could be together forever… I chose the second one."

Misa sobbed quietly into his hair, feeling his torment, she knew what it was like to loose a parent. L quickly recovered and gently pushed Misa away from him, so he could see her face. His eyes were the only features that gave away his sadness, they shined sadly and he smiled weakly. Brushing Misa's tears away with a shaking hand, he cupped her face tenderly. "The ring the gun made I will never forget, how it sounded like distant bells chiming their sad melody. But I know I did the right thing for my mother and father, I know they are proud of me."

Misa nodded stroking L's face and brushing the bangs from his eyes. "You are truly the bravest, strongest man I know Ryuzaki and I'm sorry for not seeing that before, please forgive me."

"For what? You were blinded by the joy that someone had taken revenge for your parents' death and you began to follow them – I would have done the same. It's human nature. You have nothing to be sorry for. Do not waste your tears over me."

"Oh, Ryuzaki." Misa sighed and buried herself into his neck.

"Lawliet." L replied simply "Call me Lawliet." Misa pushed back from L and gaped at him, she had won his trust, her goal from the very first time she had met him. But this time it was her goal, not Light's, hers. And she had achieved it without him. Joy flooded Misa's heart and she repeated the name, enjoying the way it rolled off her tongue.
"Lawwwwwliet." She drawled, not caring about the amused expression on his face. She closed her eyes breathed the name out again and again. When she opened them Lawliet's face was inches from her "Hello Lawliet." She teased. L shivered when she addressed him directly and pushed her back down on the bed, her towel inching apart.

"Lawliet." She moaned as he trailed kisses from her neck to her stomach. He smiled to himself and began to pull off his shirt. Misa spanned her fingers across his chest and pulled closer. "How picturesque." L sighed and Misa laughed gently, before Ryuzaki silenced her with another kiss. Before things went any further, L rolled Misa on top of him and pulled something from his pocket. "My mothers." He stated and raised himself onto his elbows, placing the ring into the palm of Misa's hand. "I trust you more than anyone, even though I have only known you for a small amount of time. Would you do me the honour of being my wife?"
