Chapter 11

Confessions and Revelations

Lawliet's POV

Nyamo was acting strange. When we returned she went straight into the bathroom. I was extremely worried about her. I softly knocked on the door.

"Nyamo? Please come out?" I asked.

She didn't answer me. I left her to her thoughts and turned away. As I turned I tripped over her bag. Her sketchbook fell out and I looked at it. She was amazing. I smiled at the drawing, until I came to the last one. I looked back at the door.

"NYAMO!"

She opened the door and looked a bit confused. I threw the sketch book to the ground and pulled her into my arms.

"L what's wrong?" she asked.

I pulled back and put my hands on her face.

"I saw the drawing. I saw the shadow." I said.

She sighed.

"I was going to show you."

She knelt down and picked it up.

"I talked to the shadow today."

My eyes went wide.

"It was while we were all by the cherry trees. I was hiding behind a tree when it appeared in front of me. I told it I knew what it was. I also told it I was afraid of it, but that I wasn't afraid to die. And I….I…"

She didn't seem to know how to go on. I slowly reached for her hand.

"I don't think the shadow has told Light. And when I was talking to it I felt confusion and a little understanding."

"Understanding for what?" I asked.

She opened her mouth but no words came out.

"Nyamo you can tell me anything." I said.

I wanted to know. I wanted to know so I could comfort her or support her. Her eyes went wide as she looked at me.

Shit! I forgot her abilities.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" she asked quietly.

I looked up into her eyes. She didn't look uncomfortable or scared. I cleared my throat and nodded.

"This is actually something I've been meaning to tell you for a while…."

I took her hand and led her into the bedroom. I sat her down and then sat beside her.

"Nyamo I….I want you to know I appreciate everything you've done."

She looked away. I had to find a way to tell her. I took a deep breath and gently turned her face to mine.

This is it! It's now or never.

I leaned forward and kissed her. I was terrified that she would push me back, but she never did. She stayed very still until I pulled away. Her eyes were wide open and full of shock.

"That's what I needed you to know. Even of you don't feel the same….you needed to know."

I stood up and started to walk away.

Nyamo's POV

I touched my lips and watched L leaving.

"….L…"

He turned around very quickly. I wanted to say something. He'd shown me now I had to do something. I stood up and walked over to him. I put my hand on his arm and slowly moved up to his shoulder. I was going to show him my feelings. With my free hand I lightly touched his cheek. His eyes slowly closed and I traced over his lips. I ran my hand down his back slowly and the other down his neck and across his throat. I moved forward and moved my hand up to his chest. Finally I put both my hands on his face. I smiled a bit before smashing my lips to his. He immediately wrapped his arms around me and pulled me tight against him.

I'm falling in love with you.

He kissed me hard and long. I brought my hands up to his untamed hair and pulled him closer. As we slowly separated he pulled me to his chest.

"I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner." he whispered.

"All that matters is that you did. And I couldn't be happier." I told him.

He didn't say anything but he knew I could feel his happiness. I smiled and kissed his shoulder. I wondered if this made me his real girlfriend. I didn't ask because I didn't want to ruin the moment.

"Nyamo….I want you to be my girlfriend. My real girlfriend."

I smiled and pulled back to look in his eyes.

"I want that too."

He smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear. I held his hand to my cheek and closed my eyes. I had a strange feeling in my heart. It was one I'd never felt before. I leaned forward and kissing him gently. The feeling grew and grew until I felt my heart was full. I smiled and pulled back.

I knew it. L…you're the missing piece. It must be you.

Since we would be continuously busy from now on starting tomorrow, we both went to bed together. He held me in his arms and stroked my hair.

"I'll be right here, so get some sleep. You need it."

I just nodded, too tired to argue.

Lawliet's POV

I held this woman in my arms. This beautiful woman.

"My girlfriend." I whispered.

I smiled at myself. I'd never had a girlfriend before, nor had I ever given it any thought. Now that I had Nyamo with me, I was glad I waited. I stroked her hair and then closed my eyes.

"I'm falling in love with you." I whispered.

I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

It was Watari who woke us both up. The sun hadn't come up but we had to get ready.

"Thank you Watari."

He gave me an all knowing smile and nodded. Nyamo had the pillow over her face. I chuckled and gently removed it.

"Nyamo…"

I kissed her shoulder and she stirred.

"You've got to get up." I said softly.

She slowly opened her eyes and smiled at me. She raised her hand to my face and stroked my cheek.

"You stayed."

"Of course I did."

I covered her hand with mine and kissed her palm. She smiled more and sat up.

"L…"

I shook my head. She seemed a bit confused.

"Ryuuzaki."

I smiled and shook my head. She raised her brow and I moved to her ear.

"Lawliet. L Lawliet is my real name." I whispered.

Nyamo's POV

I gasped and he kissed my temple. I looked at him.

"You told me your real name." I said.

He nodded.

"Yes I did. I trust you Nyamo."

I smiled.

"Minamo Kagurazaki."

He smiled and pressed his forehead to mine.

"Beautiful like you are."

I laughed softly and hugged him. Though I couldn't be happier, something was going to happen today. I could feel it in my heart. We got up and put on fresh cloths. When we walked out everyone was already there. I bowed with a small smile. L sat down in his chair and I sat down right beside him.

"About Misora Naomi…"

I closed my eyes and looked away. I felt L's hand on my shoulder and I covered it with my own.

"Isn't it about time we open up the investigation to the public?" Ukita asked.

"If we do, we should try to avoid any connections being made to the Kira case. Use and artist's impression not a photo. Nyamo could give you that. She is the best artists I personally know. However only if she is up to it. There will be no badgering her."

"But it's already been four months since she vanished. I can only imagine that she's dead."

I squeezed L's hand.

"I've already told you she is dead." I said quietly.

L rubbed my shoulder.

"Even if she's dead, it's strange that no one has been able to locate her body yet. If we can find her, it may shed some light on this situation."

The door opened and Watari came in.

"Ryuuzaki. Sakura TV. Something terrible's occurring!" he said.

I switched on the TV and was disgusted by what I saw. L joined his hand with mine as we watched the broadcast.

"What's going on?" someone asked.

"Four days ago our director received these four tapes. Without a doubt they have been sent by Kira….."

I was mortified to say the least. Apparently the tape they were being made to play would contain a message for us all.

"This isn't some kind of sick joke is it?" Aizawa asked.

"Who would pull a prank this sick?" Matsuda argued.

The tape was put it and the name Kira came up on screen. L squeezed my hand and I looked at him. I stroked his hand trying to calm him.

"I am Kira. If this video is being broadcasted at exactly 5:59pm on the 18th of April, it should now be 5:59pm and 47...48...49..."

The voice counted down before telling us to switch the channel. That a man would die of a heart attack at exactly six.

"Change it!"

When it change I gasped. There was a dead man on the screen.

"How dare they!" Ukita said.

"Change the channel back."

Watari did so.

"Also bring me another TV, no make it two. Nyamo please help him."

I nodded and did as he asked. Watari and I left the room and not too long after, Ukita-san came running past us.

"Ukita-san!"

He didn't stop and I ran back to L.

"What happened!?"

"Another one dead. We've been trying stop the broadcasts but no one is picking up. Ukita is going to stop it."

I nodded and went to L.

"I hate evil and love justice. I even regard the police as my ally not my enemy. My wish is to create a world without any evil. If you all decide similarly it should be easy to achieve. If you cease your attempts to capture me, no innocent people will die. Even if you don't agree with me, as long as you don't go to the media or express it publicly I won't kill you."

This didn't sound like the Kira we'd been chasing.

"I will change this filthy world."

Watari brought the TV's and I helped set them up. When it was done we saw something terrible. There was a man on the ground outside Sakura TV station who looked like…

"UKITA-SAN!" I screamed.

I fell to the floor and tears filled my eyes. Tears of rage. I was shaking and my heart was pounding. I heard someone start running to the door and I looked up.

"Aizawa-san!"

He stopped.

"Where do you think you're going?" L asked.

"To Ukita of course."

"You can't. Please compose yourself."

"Are you telling me to just shut it and watch TV!?" Aizawa shouted.

"If this is Kira's work and you go there, the same thing will only happen to you."

Aizawa turned all the way around.

"If Kira doesn't have a name they shouldn't be able to kill! So why has this happened?!"

I slowly stood up. Matsuda walked forward.

"Were the fake I.D's of no use? Maybe Kira already knew our names."

My eyes widened.

Yagami Light.

"That's a possibility."

L was shaking. I put my hands on his arm and shoulder.

"If Kira know that, surely it would have been a lot easier for them to kill us first. According to my theory, Kira needs a name and a face, but having watched this, it seems the probability of Kira being able to kill with only a face isn't zero. Right now all I can say is that Kira is inside the station. Or at least somewhere they can monitor the people entering-"

"If you think Kira is in the area there's all the more reason to go!" Aizawa roared.

"There's always the possibility they set up surveillance cameras. If you brazenly go out there now you'll only get killed." L said.

He ran forward and reached out to grab L, but I got him first. I threw him back and kicked him in the chest.

"Don't you dare touch him! Can't you see he's upset too!? We're all upset and fighting amongst ourselves isn't helping. If we do that then Ukita will have only died in vain!"

"Risking your life and easily allowing someone to take it are two completely different things." L said.

I turned and looked at him.

"What?!"

Aizawa stood up and I blocked him.

"Try to hold back."

L's voice shook slightly and Aizawa seemed to realize this.

"Now that Ukita-san has been killed, if you were to lose your life too…"

Aizawa looked at me and I glared at him.

"Please forgive me Nyamo-san…"

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to him."

"I'm apologizing to both of you. I let my anger get the best of me. I am very sorry."

L nodded and I bowed my head.

"Believe me I understand. But it would be in your best interest not to hurt my boyfriend. You'd have to get past me first and I am a martial artist. I don't want to hurt you so please don't try it."

He just nodded and we turned back to the screen. I walked to L and put my hands on his arm and shoulder. Suddenly, a patrol van went through the front of the TV station. MY eyes went wide.

"Well there's one way of getting inside without being seen." I said.

"Who was it?"

I looked at L. He was staring hard at the screen. I had a feeling I knew who it was.

"Could it be…"

He nodded and I squeezed his arm. A patrol car pulled up and an officer got out of the car.

"Oh no…"

L ended up calling the deputy chief of police.

"This is L. I'd like to ask you a favor. Upon seeing this broadcast people with connection to the police will act driven by they're own sense of justice. I'd like you to control this directly from the top or this will end in disaster."

I looked at the TV as the officer dropped dead. I put my hands over my mouth and shook my head. Watari's cell phone went off and I turned back.

"It's Chief Yagami."

I smiled. L held out his hand.

"Call him back and give me the phone please."

He did so and I took the phone.

"It's me Yagami-san. So it was you in the patrol van."

I smiled again.

"I knew it."

Matsuda and I smiled at each other.

"Are you alright?" L asked him.

Apparently he was alright because L told him to wait and then switched to the other phone.

"Deputy Kitamura, it was Chief Yagami who charged the station. How are your preparations preceding?" L asked.

After a few seconds he nodded and went back to the other phone.

"Yagami-san, please proceed through the front entrance in five minutes."

MY eyes went wide and he hung up both phones. We were blind so we couldn't see what was happening.

"Ryuuzaki…."

He looked at me and took my hand.

"It'll be alright. Trust me." he said.

I nodded and held onto his hand. It felt like we were waiting for hours. I was extremely worried. When I finally heard the door open I jumped up and smiled.

"Yagami-san!"

"Chief!"

Watari was half dragging him in and I immediately went to help.

"Ryuuzaki…I apologize for acting on impulse. It seems I got a little too emotional."

"Not at all. Nyamo would've done the same things if you didn't. And she seemed very impressed."

I smiled and nodded.

"It's on my list of things to do before I die."

L walked over and Yagami-san held up a bag.

"All the envelopes and tapes sent by Kira are in here."

"Thank you very much."

L took the bag and I gently pat the chief on the back.

"It was well done."

We started to take him away to rest.

"L-Let me rest for a while."

We sat him on the sofa and I walked back to L. He handed me the envelope and I looked at it.

"Osaka?"

He nodded.

"Aizawa-san, could I get you to analyze these?"

He handed them to Aizawa who nodded.

"I'm good at that. I'll do a thorough job."

He was very determined.

"I'll confirm the contents of the copied tapes." he said.

Aizawa left and so did everyone else. I knew it was going to be a long night.
