Okay as I type this author's note, I still don't know what on earth I'm going to write this chapter, I'm sort of winging it so let's hope it goes well lol.

It's nice to see a ton of new alerts and favorites so thanks to you guys who did that.

Special thanks to my reviewers: Hentai-Otaku, blackinky, deathnoteno1fan-codegeasslover, Aoishii, Not Yet Knowing, wowwowwubbzy, Nightwing Gurl, KageMori, Warratah, Meova and Rai Vinn.

I'm now over the 100 review mark and I have to say thanks to you guys. This is my most popular fic so far and it's not even complete yet! My second most popular fic only has 76 reviews and that's probably because I left it for a whole year before I updated once...which I won't be doing for this fic and well they also weren't always good reviews.

So thanks for encouraging me so far with lovely reviews and I hope that you will all enjoy the rest of this story...however many more chapters it ends up being.

Chapter 11: Forbidden Fruit

There are many ways of controlling people but controlling people on a mass scale is not easy.

One person can ruin things, can spark rebellion and destroy everything that person or group has put together.

People need to be controlled.

How though?

Drugs can be used to weaken people, to create problems between groups so they are too busy fighting with each other to rebel.

Subliminal messages can be passed on through music or television or even through propaganda. If you read it or hear about it from the news you're more likely to believe it.

Governments across the world use these methods and more but what is the oldest method of controlling people?

Religion.

Every religion contains it's own rules and guidelines which even in this day and age people follow, in western society it is still seen as deviant to break these rules. If you did break those rules then you would be punished by whatever greater being you followed.

In Christian belief the worst thing to do would be to act out any of the 'seven deadly sins'.

Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Wrath.

Of course it is near impossible to not have committed at least one of those sins in modern life, for those who are 'lucky' enough to live in modern society at least, for we can have nearly anything we want yet we still desire more.

Of course this is a human fault and higher beings must laugh at the petty squabbles people have been known to get into over material objects.

Now I am writing about sin for a reason, for it has a purpose in this story as it does in many stories.

Takada and Misa are envious of each other, they both believe the other to be in Raito's favor and they want him for themselves and they don't care about the consequences. Greed.

Both Raito and L are too proud to admit when they are wrong, they see mistakes as weaknesses and they don't want the other to see that weakness. They constantly fight themselves and each other to keep to an image, ignoring what they both want on the inside. Lust.

Are they truly committing sin or are they all just trying to fool themselves with emotions they know and are comfortable with.

*****

"If you have a problem with me, Raito-kun I would rather you leave it outside of the investigation room or leave the investigation to those who are willing to work with me on it."

Those were the first words out of L's mouth as Raito shut the door of the bedroom they had entered. As the brunet turned around to face the other's back he studied the room.

It was a mess, there were a few clothes spread over the floor with books and sweet wrappers mixed in. It was like a sloppy teenager's room...not that Raito would expect anything else. If he hadn't insisted on keeping a tidy room, he would have been staying in such a pigsty when he had been handcuffed to L.

He had to pay attention to the older man though, he could never allow his thought's to linger around the Detective. Especially those linked to their past life.

"I wouldn't have such a problem if you would admit it when you're wrong but fine, I'll let it go...I'm sorry for shouting out of turn," he responded, his tone slightly bitter as the other finally turned around to face him.

"How do I know that I'm wrong? We do not have any concrete evidence on who the murderer is yet therefore I cannot say that I'm wrong if I don't know."

L's response was smooth has he stared blankly at the other, obsidian met hazel as the pale man's eyes-or were they black holes?- drew him in.

Silence fell across the room for a few seconds before the brunet broke eye contact and cleared his throat,

"Exactly, you don't have any evidence that I'm the criminal either. I don't even have a motive, whereas Takada does," he argued.

"No, but I feel in my gut that you have committed some sort of crime, something serious and that I shouldn't trust you too easily."

A feeling...his memories of the Kira case.

Raito stepped forward until he was in front of the other, golden eyes meeting onyx orbs once again.

"Is that why you refuse to accept that I may have found the killer, because you feel that you shouldn't trust me...do you even have any idea where that feeling comes from?" he asked, getting closer and closer to the other with every word.

Though he looked as if he felt calm, Raito could feel L's breath quickening slightly as the teenager invaded his personal space.

"I have no reason not to trust my gut instinct, now step back before I make you."

A smirk was the only reply he got for a few moments as the brunet stepped back a little,

"Gut instinct? Is that what you call it?"

Raito was relishing in knowing something that once again, L didn't know. He could torment him with it and the black haired man wouldn't even know what he was talking about. He could play with him and not have to worry about breaking him.

Yet...to break him once again would be so...exquisite.

To have such control, to be able to do what he liked to the other. To be able to have him in all possible ways.

Yes, that was what he truly desired but he would not act on it.

That was something Kira would have done, he could not destroy his chances this time round but that didn't mean he couldn't play around and chase after what he wanted.

L was like the forbidden fruit after all.

"Yes...why, is there something I should know?" the Detective asked, eyes narrowing slightly as he studied the other carefully. Watching for any signs of threat or lies.

"Just that your instinct may be correct...but not this time," Raito answered as he stepped forward again.

Eyes met for the third time before Raito leaned in and brushed his lips against the other's ear,

"I'm not responsible for these murders but that isn't to say I haven't...sinned," he breathed before he nipped at the lobe and pulled away.

The brunet could feel the other's fury yet was surprised when spindly fingers gripped his shirt and pulled him in for a hard kiss.

It was bitter, heated and oh so wrong but it as cliché as it sounds, it felt right. It felt like through all their hatred there was something good and true there.

It would just take a lot of digging to get to.

Pale fingers fumbled with the buttons on Raito's shirt, slowly getting them all undone as they pulled away to breath before diving back into the kiss again, the teenager's own hands sliding up the baggy white shirt of the other.

Tongues fought for dominance, both males wanting to be in charge, to be the dominant one.

They were far too interested in each other, trapped in their own little world so when someone knocked on they didn't notice.

They weren't aware as someone opened the door, it wasn't until a phone was dropped to the floor and a gasp left the intruder's throat that they noticed.

They pulled away, turning to stare incredulously back at the person.

___________

Ha ha slight cliffhanger, whoever is at the door is up to you guys!

So this chapter only ended up moving their relationship on and it was short but I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway.

As you can tell, I don't usually go into description of kiss scenes and stuff so yeah...this is most likely an M just for the gory stuff that's to come.

Thanks again for reading, I hope you enjoyed and will review...and I will love anyone forever if you'd do something for this fic. More art, videos, banners etc anything really!

I love you guys and please review to encourage me to update quicker!
