"…You can't do that!" She shouted at him.

He looked her in the eye.

"You are my suspect, and I'll do what is necessary to keep you close." He replied in his mono-tone.

She went red.

"I-I won't stand for this, I am K for god sake, you cannot do this to me!" She said, raising her voice even louder. He raised an eyebrow.

"Would you rather go to jail?" He asked her.

Damn him and is rhetorical questions. She cursed him in her mind.

"I'm a young woman, I need my privacy!" She angrily told him.

"Well, you shouldn't have murdered 11 people then." He replied calmly.

11? Wasn't it 10? Ha, you're not getting me that easily L.

"Well, I didn't because I'M NOT ROSE." She shouted the last part. He shrugged.

"Well, the chance that you are Rose is currently at 75%," He lied. "So, until you are cleared of all suspicion, I will stay chained to you." With that, he tuned his chair around and faced the screens.

He watched Light return home, go up to his room, and get out a magazine. K rolled her eyes.

Typical teenager.

After a while, Light closed the magazine, hid it in his shelves, and started doing homework. A few minutes later, Light's younger sister called him down for dinner. She had put on a music channel and was watching the idol dance and sing while she ate. L pressed a button and spoke.

"Watari, begin broadcast immediately."

"Affirmative." Replied the old man. K leaned back in her chair and watched the great L work. She raised an eyebrow as an emergency broadcast appeared on the Yagami's TV.

In an effort to catch Kira, ICPO has ordered 1500 investigators from around the world to work in Japan.

"What a stupid move!" Light said. K raised an eyebrow. "…So this news report must be a bluff that the police are trying to scare Kira with. But it's so obvious. Kira is probably laughing at them now."

"Wow," K said. "Smart kid. But I must say L, it was kind of obvious." Much to her annoyance, L ignored her. When Light had finished, he went upstairs to his room and began his, what L and K thought was, studying.

Boring!

"Does he do anything except studying?" She groaned.

Does pay off though, the kid's a genius, almost as smart as L. He's not that bad looking either, if he was 3 years older…

Then Watari walked in and told L about the death of two new criminals.

Kira. But, that means Light could not have killed them. He didn't watch the news, and has been studying all night. But still, these are only minor criminals, and it is a bit suspicious that the Yagami family could get rid of all suspicion in only one day…

Light finished studying and went to bed. L pressed the button that contacted Watari and spoke.

"Watari, please keep an eye on the families, I am going to bed." K sighed in relief.

Finally, some sleep. Wait, how can I shower, with THIS attached to me? She turned to him.

"L, how will I shower with this on?" He turned to her.

"Well, it's a fairly long chain, I'll just sit outside the door and wait." He replied. She nodded and walked out the room, up the stairs, and waited outside the bathroom door. L sat down in his odd style and she grinned.

"Won't be long!" She said happily.

~10 minutes later~

K stepped out of the shower and dried her hair. She wrapped a bath towel around her self and unlocked the door.

L looked up at her and his eyes widened. She placed a hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" She asked him. He looked away from her and stood up.

"Nothing." He said unemotionally. He walked down the hall, turned a corner, and went through a creamy coloured door. The room was fairly large with several computers dotted around the room, a large sofa, and in the middle of the room was a large, soft, bed. K smiled thankfully.

Sleep.

She started to walk towards the bed when she felt a tug on her wrist. She turned around and saw L, sitting at one of the computers. She groaned.

"L, I thought we were coming here to sleep, not to work!"

"Kira does not stop just because you're tired, K." He replied. "I thought you would know that." She frowned at him.

"Well, if I don't get my sleep, I don't work well. If I don't work well, then Kira will not get caught. Simple as that." She said.

L shrugged.

That's it, a shrug? She face palmed. I need my sleep. But, I'm clearly not getting any tonight, so I might as well work.

"At least let me get dressed!" She exclaimed.

"Fine." He replied and turned his back to her as she pulled on her pyjamas.

Right, time to work.

~3 hours later~

K groaned and looked at the clock. 2:30 am. She groaned again and tugged on L's arm.

"I want to sleep. NOW." She ordered him. He sighed and turned to her.

"Well, I guess we've found everything we can tonight, I suppose we could go to sleep now." He said. A smile lit up K's face.

"Thank you!" She said happily. L got up and walked over to the bed, and got in. K did the same. She yawned and shifted so she was on her side.

"Night, L." She said.

"Night, K." He replied, as she drifted into a deep sleep.

K opened her eyes and stretched, well, tried to stretch, but found she couldn't. In the night the chain had become entangled in-between L and K. She was on top of him, one hand by his head, one on his chest. One of his hands were on her back, and the other above him, on his pillow. All in all, it was a very awkward position. She tried moving, but that just made the chains tighten. Then, to her horror, L shifted slightly, pulling her closer to him, and opened his eyes. K stared at him. In front of her was not L, the genius detective, but L, the normal, very cute, human being. His eyes widened when he saw the position they were in.

"K," He said slowly. "What are you doing?"

"It's these stupid chains, they got tangled in the night, and…" She trailed off. L seemed to think.

"What time is it?" He asked her.

She tilted her head and glanced at the clock.

"5:00am." She told him. He nodded.

"Well, it's pointless trying to sort it now, as we'll end up going to sleep again and it'll just happen all over again, so," He looked her in the eyes. "We might as well make the most of it."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" She asked him, loudly, a blush spreading over her cheeks.

She really is adorable when she blushes.

"I was just saying we could use this time to talk." He said calmly. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"Talk about what?" She questioned him slowly.

Hmm, how can I word this?

"About us." He said. She raised an eyebrow.

"Us?"

"Yes, us."

"What about us?" She asked him.

"I like you." He said simply.

That's it, you've said it. Can't take it back now.

"I like you too." She replied.

Wait… Does he mean like as in like, or like as in LIKE?

"But…" He said.

But?

"It wouldn't work." He said sighing.

"Why not?" She asked him, even though she already knew the answer.

"You're K, I'm L. You're my suspect. " He moved his arms and pointed at her, to show his point. He was just about to start talking when he was cut off by her lips being pressed against his. His eyes widened, then closed. He lowered his arms, relaxing the chains so she was no longer pressed into him, forced to make their lips meet. But, she didn't withdraw. She kept her lips there for a few seconds longer before moving back. She watched him for a while before he spoke.

"You kissed me without asking me." He stated.

Hypocrite.

She didn't reply, but her face was a bright red. He smiled at her. "You're a good kisser." She went even redder and looked away from him.

"…Thank you." She said quietly. She felt her eyelids get heavy again and she placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Sweet dreams, K." He murmured.
