A/N: Wow. It's been a loooong time. Sorry, I kinda got writers block, still have it so I'm sort of forcing this chapter. I hope it's still good though, and for those of you that like Saiyuki, I might be putting up a saiyuki story soon! ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own death note, just Llana.

Chapter 10

Confirmation

March 10, 2004; Toyo International Airport

"Tell Ryan that I miss him, and that I'm so proud."

Yuki nodded, "I can do that."

"And tell the President I'll send him some sake for after those long presconfrences."

Yuki nodded once again, "Ok, ok."

The two women hugged each other, neither wanting to see the other go. "Thank you for coming, you were a huge help to me." Llana clung to her friend; she had felt so much better when Yuki was with her.

Yuki sniffed, she really wanted to stay, no matter how much she felt that Ryuzaki wasn't exactly fond of her. This case was really serious, now she knew what Llana meant.

The two hugged one last time before Yuki boarded her personal flight. As the plane took off she looked out the window at her best friend, "Be careful Illiana, Kira's not your only problem here."

March 12, 2004; Plaza Hotel

Llana ran into the hotel room, almost knocking over a tired Matsuda, "Sorry Matsu! Ryuzaki, turn your computer on!"

L looked quizzically at the computer in front of him. Llana sighed, "The other one!"

L lazily turned on the laptop and it blinked to life, Watari's gothic W flickered onto the screen. "Ryuzaki, we have intercepted a video and a journal that was on it's way to Sakura TV. I believe it's from the second Kira. I've sent it up with Ideal."

Llana handed L the package she held in her hands, "Thank you Watari." He said to the computer.

L delicately reached in the envelope and pulled out a single piece of paper, he handed the rest to Llana. She pulled out the video and turned to Aizawa, "Hey, Aihara, handle this?" She tossed it to him and he caught it with a tired 'sure'.

"Ideal?"

Llana looked down at the man crouched in his chair, "What is it Ryuzaki?"

"Have a look at this would you?"

Llana took the paper from him and read through it carefully, "It's like diary entries. The year on these is 2003 but these sound more like plans then old entries." She concluded, sitting on the couch next to Yagami.

"Should I call Light?" The man asked. Llana looked at L, "Ryuzaki?"

"Yes Mr. Yagami. You may."

Soichiro nodded once before pulling out and turning on his cell phone. Llana passed the paper to Matsuda who read through it with what he thought was care; Llana thought it looked more like he had to pee.

He handed the paper back to Llana with an "hm". Llana chuckled, "Why don't you go watch that video with Aihara, Matsui."

Matsuda nodded, blushing, and left the room.

Llana simply shook her head as she chuckled some more.

"Ideal, what do you think?" Ryuzaki asked the woman across from him, he sort of wished she would claim her spot on his chair, he had gotten quite used to her being there.

Llana sighed, "I think she's trying to tell us her plans, but trying to confuse us at the same time. There is something else in that diary she wants us to see, or wanted Kira to see. I think you should ask Light."

L nodded in approval, "That was my plan. Thank you."

Llana nodded also and smiled.

"He didn't answer so I left him a message. He should be on his way." Yagami took his seat next to Llana and sighed.

Llana gently patted the man's back, "Is everything ok Mr. Yagami?"

"I'm fine Ideal. Just tired."

"Don't worry Mr. Yagami. Tonight won't be very long, you'll be able to go home earlier."

Soichiro nodded, "Thank you Ryuzaki."

"Not much on the tape." Llana held up her hand as Aizawa placed said item in her hand. She placed it on the table.

"What was on it?"

Matsuda flopped down on the couch across from her, "The same stuff that was on the paper. Entries for last year."

Llana nodded to herself in approval. He really did read over it. Llana crossed her legs, "Now all we have to do is get Light's opinion."

Ryuzaki nodded, that's exactly what they needed.

"Hello everyone."

Well speak of the devil. Llana stood as the door opened and she greeted Light with a warm smile, "Good evening Light."

His smile was equally warm towards her, "Hello. So, we have a diary entry?"

Llana nodded and handed the paper to him, "Yup, this is it."

Llana kept her eyes on him as she moved to L's chair, sitting in her spot. Her eyes sparkled as she watched Light, his facial expressions, his body language. She fixed the headband holding back her hair, "So Light, what do you think? Is it real?"

Llana hadn't even noticed that L had stood from his chair. Light stared at L for a few seconds, "At this point in time all I can say is that he must be stupid."

"Yeah, it's completely obvious that he wants to meet Kira at the home game." Matsuda added in.

Soichiro put his hand to his chin in a thoughtful manner, "Doesn't he realize what would happen if we aired this? It would cause mass panic."

Llana casually dusted some lint from her skirt, "Exactly, that means that that entry is most obvious because it's meant to throw us off while another entry would be picked up on by Kira."

Ryuzaki climbed back in his seat before grabbing a piece of chocolate from the box on the table, "Exactly. But which entry was meant for Kira? To be honest all of this is so stupid", he popped the chocolate in his mouth before continuing, "I don't know what to do in this situation anymore. If we make the diary public we'll have to make an announcement cancelling the game."

Matsuda moved to the couch, "But if we cancel the game, won't that make him angry? There would be no telling what he would do."

Llana stood and paced across the room, "That's kind of true but we know for a fact that this Kira completely idolizes the true Kira. Therefore, he would never do anything reckless which would result in becoming Kira's problem."

L pushed another chocolate past his lips, "Correct again Ideal. He gave his word to our Kira and I am inclined to believe that he wouldn't kill aimlessly."

Llana nodded and took a chocolate for herself. He was right, there was no way he…well, she would do anything completely stupid. It would anger Kira like she said. Llana tuned out of her thoughts as L began to speak.

"Well, I say we make it public, air an announcement cancelling the game. At the same time we say that on the thirtieth we will set up checkpoints on all roads leading to the Tokyo Dome. And finally, we'll send a response from our invented Kira. Ideal, could you help with that?"

"Sure, it can be something simple. Maybe, 'I understand and I'll meat you there'." Llana suggested.

L sipped his tea, "That will work fine, thank you."

"You two don't honestly expect him to go there if we set up checkpoints around the dome do you?" Yagami asked, unsure of how this plan would work.

Llana smirked, "Kira wouldn't even consider it" she said stressing the Kira to show that she was speaking of the original, "that's only common sense. But, the other one might."

L sipped his tea again, looking into the cup afterwards to prove that it was gone, "Well, I guess that depends on how stupid he really is. However, assuming he's not actually the idiot we think he is there could be another message hidden in this diary."

Llana smiled in triumph, "Exactly like I said earlier! Sorry Light, you weren't here."

Said boy nodded in understanding.

"Well, basically what I said is that there is an obvious message there meant for the police. Obviously the dome. Then there's another message there that only Kira could figure out. Since none of us are Kira" Llana looked around the room, her gaze lingered on Light for a moment, only L noticed, he smirked very small, "none of us would be able to figure it out." She finished, feeling quite accomplished.

"Even so", L sighed, "it would make sense for us to check all the places mentioned here. Which are Aoyama on the twenty-second and Shibuyah on the twenty-fourth."

Llana rubbed her eyes, there were too many brain waves floating around the room, mostly hers and L's. She swore that sometimes she was just too smart, next time she wouldn't say a word; it was giving her a headache. "You know, there is a huge possibility that all of this will be useless."

"Very true Ideal. But because that possibility is so high. We can be ready for that. Anyway we'll keep an eye out for people with notebooks in Aoyama and people in clothing stores in Shibuyah."

Llana sat down next to Soichiro and leaned back on the couch, she just wanted to take a shower and watch a movie, but she had to help.

She sighed, "The most we can do right now is put camera's in both places."

L poured himself some more tea, "And I want undercover officers in both Aoyama and Shibuyah."

Llana found herself thinking, "Please, oh pretty please don't pick me."

Matsuda perked at the opportunity to help, "I should probably go to Aoyama and Shibuyah since I blend in with the crowd there." He said with a big smile.

"I'll go too." Light suggested.

"But Light…" Soichiro started, looking up at his son.

Light chuckled, "I'll be fine dad. Those are places I would go anyway and I would look the most natural with Matsui there, other than Ideal of course."

Matsuda blushed at the thought. He probably wouldn't be able to concentrate with Llana there.

As for Llana, she was so concentrated on staying awake that she hadn't heard a word that was said since she begged L in her mind to not pick her.

Light continued, "Besides. The second Kira will be there looking for Kira, not the police."

"Then it's settled, Matsuda and Light will go to Aoyama and Shibuyah on their prospective dates. Aizawa I want you and Ideal to monitor the camera's on those dates."

Llana tuned back in but she was sort of half zoned out, "Huh?"

Aizawa rolled his eyes at the woman. She was smart, he'd giver her that, but she was still young.

"Alright everyone. That is all for today." L spoke in bored tone.

Llana lay back on the couch haphazardly, "Yes! It's over."

L looked at her with an confused expression as everyone started to leave, "Why the show of relief?"

"Oh, I'm tired and I just want to sleep." Llana said rubbing her eyes.

"Alright then, Matsuda, could you see Light out to his taxi please?" L asked.

Matsuda nodded and stood with Light. L waited a few minutes after they left and moved to the window. Llana watched him curiously, "L, what are you doing." She asked moving next to him.

L ignored her and pulled out his cell phone, "When you're with Light please keep a close eyes on him. And keep this between you and me…" Llana tapped his shoulder and raised a single brow; L put his thumb to his lip, "and Llana."

Llana gave a satisfied smile as he hung up, "You didn't think you could leave me out when I overheard did you?"

L shrugged and grabbed a piece of Llana's hair. She chuckled, "What is with the fascination with my-"

She froze as L's cold lips pressed to hers. Before she could do or say anything he pulled away. She simply looked at him in shock until the door opened. L greeted Matsuda as if nothing had happened and walked to his chair. Llana was still standing at the window, staring at L in shock. Matsuda gave her an confused look, "Ideal, are you ok?"

"I'm fine." She said with a smile, "I think I'll just go to bed."

"Watari?"

"Hm?" Watari looked to his young companion and clearly saw the sadness on his normally blank features. "May I ask what is wrong Ryuzaki?"

L just blinked as if in thought for a few seconds before answering, "I only needed to confirm them."

"Confirm what?"

"My feelings. You told me that I liked Llana as more than a sister or friend. That means I love her right?" He asked in curiosity, sounding more like a child or teen than a twenty-five year old man.

"…" Watari didn't know how to answer so L took his silence as a signal to continue.

"I had to confirm my feelings so I kissed her." L stated bluntly.

Watari's eyes sparkled the slightest bit, "Really Ryuzaki?"

L looked at him with big eyes and tilted his head, "Yes."

"So what happened that has made you so sad?"

"She didn't say anything. She just looked at me, and I believe that when someone kisses you you're supposed to kiss back." He said, slightly frustrated.

Watari chuckled lowly, "Give it time Ryuzaki. I'm sure that Llana isn't angry or upset. I think you just surprised her."

L's face turned somewhat pitiful at the sound of this, "Should I apologize Watari?"

"No. Just leave it be. I'm sure she'll come to you about it."

L sighed, "Whatever you say old friend."
