I do not own Death Note in anyway and sadly never will.
Chapter Nine
Obscure
They had him on complete lock down. He was placed inside of a cage almost too small for him with the chains around his paws tied to a bar so that he was stretched out. His trail was set for tomorrow—people actually believe that a single dog was able to take down a human female in less than a minute. What the hell was up with these people? Worse of all Light Yagami had Toshiko's book and not only was she denied her Heaven, but he had found a way to stop L from using his mind to speak with others. L knew there was a thirty percent chance that he would have been able to escape if one of the chains gave off a little slack—but not he humans were very careful with tying him up. They said that he was a wild animal and most likely a wolf hybrid since he was vicious.
L whined and stood there waiting for someone to come in. The humans who chained him up said the man who was suppose to be the prosecutor in the case was suppose to be coming to get a good look at him. L knew that the punishment for something like Toshiko's death was death for a dog—it was only natural in the human world. L closed his eyes. He could still feel Toshiko's faint heartbeat inside of him. The book, even if he didn't kill Kira this time he had to get rid of the book so that at least one of them would go to Heaven.
The door of the white room opened. L glared at a tall male with black hair and glasses who stood behind Light Yagami. L's fur spiked up and a snarl escaped form his throat—the metal muzzle wouldn't allow him to open his mouth much wider.
"This is L?" Mikami asked staring at the large dog in the cage. He knew the dog would be big, but not this big. The creature truly looked like a monster.
"Wrong, this was L. You're going to be the prosecutor for the trial tomorrow. Win it and they euthanize him." Light said. L snarled and tried with all his strength to break at least one chain—it was no use. The detective notice what Light was holding in his hands. "Yes, this is Toshiko's book. You know about this book don't you L?" Light laughed mocking. "Come on I want to hear you speak." Light snapped his fingers.
'Raito-kun you are sick!' L snarled trying to break free once more. He had gotten his ability to speak once more.
Mikami took a step back and stared. "It spoke!"
Kira smirked. "So the book was right. I really can stop you from talking to others."
'Why did you kill her?' L snarled.
"Who?" Light asked cynically. L growled deeply. 'You sick bastard! How could you? What had Koko-chan done to you? Tell me that Raito-kun!
Light only smirked and kicked the cage over. L hit the turned side of the cage. He felt a pin rip through his side. "Light is dead L. It's all Kira now." Light laughed opening his arms.
L could see it in the brunette's eyes. Kira had truly taken all control of the boy. Light Yagami really wasn't there. L could no nothing but glare. The canine had no power over this. L closed his eyes and reopened them. The dog nearly jumped up with shock when he saw—sitting in the cage with him—the white crow. The bird looked up at L and released a pitiful caw.
'You're stuck here in this world aren't you?' L asked the bird. It gave a soft caw.
"Who are you talking to?" the killer asked.
'Someone you wouldn't care to hear for.' L snarled. Light glared down at the dog.
"You shouldn't be saying things like that Ryuzaki." Light laughed. "Especially since tomorrow may be your last day alive."
The white crow turned it's head towards Light and L felt malice coming from the light creature. Light turned to Mikami. "Make sure you win it."
"Understood."

At six in the morning five men came and carefully took him out of the metal cage. Weights were put upon him to stop him from trying to escape—as well as all kinds of chains with complicated locks. Light had to be responsible for some of the things. They walked the large black monster out of two heavy black doors and into the early morning light. Photographers and newsmen and women were suddenly surrounding him and taking photos are trying to get their cameras a good shot of him. L was sure he would have attack them if the iron muzzle was on his mouth. The giant black dog was loaded into an armored car and the ride to the court house began.
The trail was the longest thing L ever had to sit through. He was forced to stand up and that man—Mikami—made everything connect L to the killing of Toshiko Bane. Light sat with the audience and watched with his Kira smile curving his lips up. Every time L made a snarl or growl at the brunette Mikami would point out a fact that made L seem like a vicious blood thirsty wolf!
After hours and hours of hearing people saying that a dog his size would mostly likely turn on a human being and had the power to kill one, L knew his case was lost. There was nothing he could do. The paper form the jury came back and L awaited to his the sentence. The giant black dog was allowed to sit down.
"Has the jury reached a verdict?" the judge asked.
One of the men stood up. "Yes we have your honor."
"Then read it."
L felt depression hit him. Now what could he do. Light Yagami would not only have the powerful Death Note, but with Toshiko's book the result could be devastating! L had to do something—anything that would help him escape. A cawed rung loudly in the room, yet only L's ears heard it. The dog watched as the white crow flew in and landed on the table closest to L. Toshiko had came back to him—she had left this morning.
'I take it you are here to hear my verdict.' L sighed. Light had stopped him from talking to people not animals. The crow said nothing but it's eyes were on Mikami and L could feel the malice coming from the creature.
"We the jury find this animal guilty for the death of Toshiko Bane."
"How shall it be handled?" the judge asked.
"The animal is to be euthanized."
L eyes widened. Light had done it…again. L would not be able to do anything about it. Light started to laugh silently—he did this to torment L. The black dog couldn't take it anymore. L stood up on his hind legs and shook his head wildly. He would not go down without a fight! They couldn't do this to him. The men holding the chains managed to bring the wild dog down and L was left panting for air and sorrow weighing deeply in his heart. Mikami approached the dog and smirked. "It's done." He mouthed those words to L.
The crow cawed a horrible sound very close to a scream and opened' it's wings wide. The bird went into Mikami's chest and it took only a second for something to happen. Blood came out of Mikami's mouth. L blinked and watched. The white crow flew out of Mikami's body and made a sharp turn onto to return into the man's body again. This happened several times. Light jumped up form his chair and stared with wide eyes.
Mikami dropped dead on the floor with blood still coming out of his mouth. One of the men loosened up on L's chain and the black dog attacked one of the men closest to him. L didn't hurt the man too badly. He just bit the man's hand and once the chain was released he went after the next man holding a chain. The people in the court house were in pure chaos. Light stood staring. L saw the white crow rose up out of Mikami's body once again, but this time it went after Light. The bird moved with almost lightening speed. L expected the same thing that happened to Mikami to happen to Light, but as soon as the crow touch Light Yagami it was throw backwards. Light felt a shock go throughout his body. The book said it had power to protect it's holder from any spirit as long as the book was with him—so meaning the crow he couldn't see couldn't touch him.
'She can't touch him.' L realized that. Mikami wasn't holding the book, therefore Mikami—like every other person in the room except for Light—was in range of Toshiko's wrath. The crow cawed at L—with caw much softer this time. L looked to the bird. He had to defeat Light Yagami. Only L could. 'I understand Toshiko.'
L started to make his charge at Light. The knife-like fangs bared and ready to rip into Light. L made the jump when he was only feet away from Light.
A gun shot rang out.
Hi, sorry for making this kind of short and I'm sorry for taking this long to update. I got caught up in a whole lot of things. This chapter would have been put up yesterday, but I caught this nasty cold and was able to stay home to put it up today. Nyeh Creampie you are completely right. I was thinking that Heaven Help Us did fit with Death Note! So you get a cookie! Expect two more chapters after this one or maybe three. This is it. The final out come of Ryuzaki is on it's way. Please review! (if there are any Guns N' Fangs readers out there, expect an update very soon. As for Rising Stars, Falling Venus it may take a week or so.)
