He stared at me, in shock. I shrugged.

"I would say that I am sorry, but I'm not sorry." I grinned. He slowly lowered his hand, his face still slightly pink.

"Right.." He breathed, slowly turning to the screens, as if trying to pretend that never happened.

I still felt terrible, trying to manipulate him. I looked down, then did the same.

"Do you ever show emotions?" I asked, trying to help get his mind off of being hugged and kissed. He slowly nodded.

"All humans have emotions. I simply just don't express my feelings and emotions." He replied, his voice less calm, and had a shaken tone to it.

That explains a lot.

I looked over my shoulder at the rest of the Task Force. None noticed my outburst of expression. Good.

L's POV

Normally, I would have kicked her. But I didn't. All I did was listen to the sound of my neart skip a few beats, loudly.

Why?

I pressed my thumb to my mouth, staring forward blankly. I glanced over at the half eaten cake in my hands. It no longer felt like I would have an appetite again. Suzuki didn't seem fazed at all by herself. Almost like she didn't know she did anything, though she did. I figured even if I wasn't going to eat the cake, it shouldn't be wasted. I dropped it on her lap and she jumped slightly.

"You're giving me your cake? How sweet." She cooed, grinning. I nodded, silent. Despite myself, just because of the recent events, I attempted a smile, pressing my own lips on her cheek.

I may have been attempting to show her how sudden and awkward it was. Her face turned pink, and she did as I expected. She widened her eyes and sat in silence, rethinking everything.

I couldn't tell if I heard her heart beating loudly, or my own.

There was a small gasp behind us. Matsuda had looked over, probably bugged by the silence. Suzuki slowly turned to look at him, a look that said 'Tell anyone and I will destroy you. You will be hung by that stupid tie, too.' He smiled, snickering slightly.

Suzuki's POV

I ran my finger across my neck, glaring. I turned back around.

"I have a way with words." I explained, rolling my eyes. Ryuzaki nodded, the pink in his face gone.

"Indeed." He didn't seem to understand that this was a joke.

I decided to put the cake Ryuzaki gave me in front of Matsuda. I even added a note, 'This may be your last meal' with a happy face. He blinked in surprise at my thoughtfulness.

"Now that I'm thinking, Light was correct. We do seem close." Ryuzaki stated. The fact that we were able to have a normal conversation now was proof, to me.

"I agree. Anyway, how will he know about being on the Force?"

"His father works here, remember? He can tell him, most likely after an argument."

I nodded. Looking behind me, I saw Chief Yagami and walked towards him, followed by Ryuzaki.

"After a short period of consideration, we ask you to tell your son if he will join us in catching Kira." He stared at me, slowly processing my words. I smiled.

"Of course not! My son will be killed! He doesn't even have any experience, he needs to get a degree first!"

"No. He seemed to be more intelligent than you seem to think of him, and being on 3the case will experience him."

We argued for five minutes, Ryuzaki watching in silence. Yagami gave in eventually, still not very pleased.

That was the day we stopped watching the cameras. When Light was here, I was sent out to remove the cameras. Matsuda went with me, so Ryuzaki could talk with Light about the case. I talked him into playing tennis, to test him.

When we returned, the two were watching television, it showing a newscaster having a heart attack, then Light looked at me. The red gleam appeared again.

Creep.

"Suzuki-san. Sakura TV is broadcasting messages from Kira." Ryuzaki told me. I glanced over at Light.

He did it?

My thoughts were interrupted by a bloodcurdling scream. I widened my eyes, watching Ryuzaki scream then fall over at the word 'shinigami'.

"Shinigami...? Am... am I supposed to believe that?" He asked himself, sitting up. Matsuda smiled slightly when I instantly was stooped down to Ryuzaki's side, alarmed.

I hate him sometimes.

In all the chaos, I looked at Light, mouthing the words 'You did that?'. He slowly shook his head.

L's POV

I stood up, putting my chair back in place, then sat in it. I told Watari to bring another TV when Kira killed another newscaster.

It seems like Kira isn't just killing criminals anymore. Unless, this is another Kira. That seemed less likely, but it made much more sense.
