After everyone had cleared up at headquarters. The fake "real Kira" reply tape was submitted to the news station. It had immediately been released and therefore the second Kira had in all likeliness watched. Since then all the task force members had been frantic. Even Raito had felt slightly unnerved by this entire ordeal. If the second Kira messed up, then it could cause trouble for him. Raito had become certain of one thing : he had to find the second Kira before L and the others did.

Lately, L had been more fidgety and Raito was sure that if the pale sleuth didn't desist in the constant chewing of his thumb then the detective would gnaw the flesh off it soon enough. Not that Raito cared whether L hurt himself or not. Also, since that one erotic encounter L had seemed to speak less to him. Raito sensed that he wasn't the only one who had noticed L's new lack of commentary towards him. Yet, none of the other task force members had mentioned it yet. Of course, knowing Matsuda he would in all probability be the first one to blurt out something. Raito thought it was an extraordinary miracle that Matsuda hadn't already tried to say something.

Raito glowered at the raven-haired male. He wondered what the detective was thinking about. He was probably offended by Raito's comment about him "not knowing how to even be uke" and was thus contemplating some manner of allegations to place upon him about him being Kira.

"Yagami-kun…?"

Raito heard his name pour from the sleuths lips for the first time in several days. Raito's looked up and his soft brown eyes met with stark black ones. L was sitting in his usual odd manner is a lounge chair across from him.

"Yes, Ryuuzaki?" Raito asked.

But before the older male could reply, Watari came across L's laptop saying " We have a reply from the second Kira."

Automatically the word "Kira came across the laptop screen in bold, black lettering.

" I'd like to meet you Kira. I doubt you have the eyes, but I will not harm you." came an eerie voice from the laptop.

Upon hearing this Raito began to panic. What was this moron saying. How could he or she mention the name so carelessly. How could the second Kira be so easily fooled by the video tape they made. If things persisted in this manner then this buffoon will end up revealing the way a "Kira" kills.

"What does he mean "have the eyes?" , we all have eyes!" exclaimed Matsuda.

L didn't seem to notice Matsuda's statement. Raito could tell that the detectives brilliant mind was solely focused upon the video which continued to speak.

" Think of a way for me to meet you without the police encountering us. We will be able to confirm each other by the sight our shinigami." continued the voice from the laptop.

Suddenly L fell from the chair he had been sitting in and with a loud thud! the detective hit the ground with a look of utmost terror gleaming in the opalescent eyes.

" Sh-shinigami…am I supposed to except such a thing exists?" L stammered.

"No Way!" exclaimed Matsuda

"Your right there's no way shinigami exist." stated Raito calmly.

The tape was over and Raito stared on mindlessly as the task force continued to discuss the possibly of a "shinigami" or "death god". Such an idea nearly seemed to much for the group to believe and yet no-one wanted to altogether dismiss the possibility.

" It seems that the second Kira is merely acting according to his or her own feelings with out the guidance and intervention of the first Kira." stated L thoughtfully as he drew his thumb to his lips and began to nibble on the appendage. An obscene image suddenly traced Raito's mind as he watched L's slight movements of his mouth on his thumb. Raito let out a sigh and forced the disturbing thought from his mind. Now was most assuredly not the time to consider such hormonal things.

L's eyes suddenly flashed Raito's direction and just as abruptly looked away. Raito smiled and wondered if L had been casting quick-lover glances at him through out the passed few days. Of course, if L had then it would be odd that Raito had noticed beforehand.

" Ryuuzaki, is something on your mind?" Raito inquired.

L smiled as if he had been waiting for such a question. Surely, his weakness must be his emotions. That's why he tries so hard to camouflage them.

" Yagami-kun, I was merely wondering if you thought Kira was an emotional person." stated the raven-haired detective.

Raito stared at the man dumbfound. Where did such a question come from? Since L suspected him of being Kira then was he indirectly assessing his feelings? If so then did he wish to know for use of the Kira case or for other more 'sensitive' reasons.

"Well, Yagami-kun, what do you think?" L inquired.

" It depends, Ryuuzaki." Raito began.

"…"

" Do you wish to know of my thoughts on Kira's emotional caliber so far demonstrated or do you merely wish for to her my feelings since you suspect me of being Kira?" Raito retorted.

" Well both would be fine." the detective remarked with a sharp look in his dark eyes.

" As for my feelings, I agree with you. I do not think that either of the Kira's has made contact yet, but rather that is correct or not remains to be seen. I think the 'real' Kira is in all likeliness disturbed by the disturbance this new possibly ally has caused." stated Raito coldly.

" A very good assessment, Yagami-kun. I was thinking the same. Your incredible deductive skills amaze me and make me wonder if you truly are Kira." remarked L.

Raito stared at the detective loathingly. He hated how the man always had to bring up his suspicions of him being Kira. Raito merely wanted to see the detective writhe in the pains of death and defeat. He wanted to see the large, abysmal eyes become soullessly empty. He wanted to see that abnormally soft pale flesh to turn as white and cold as death. He wanted to completely eradicate that smug, knowing smile from those warm, pink lips. L would lose and Kira would triumph.

" I think we should now wait and see what happens with Kira and the second Kira. Maybe the first Kira will send in a message or the second Kira could become impatient and reveal more valuable

information." stated L blandly.

" Yes, all we can really do is wait, as far as this matter goes." agreed Raito's father.

" Precisely!" yelled Matsuda.

Meanwhile Mogi and Aizawa looked at each other solemnly and remained silent. It was obvious that the two were very uncomfortable with taking an inactive course in the direction of such and important feature to the Kira case.

"Ah, well its getting late." said Raito's father as he looked at his wristwatch and stood up to stretch his arms. .

" Yes, it is getting rather late. You should all go home and rest." L dismissed.

All the task force members got up and bid L farewell and scurried for the door. All of them, that is, except Raito who didn't move from his spot but stared at L, who sat in a computer chair in front of his laptop and pretended not to notice Ratio's glare.

" Is something wrong son?" Yagami-san asked as he looked concernedly at Raito.

"No, nothing." he replied .

" Well, then lets get going." said his father sternly.

" Ah, father I wish to speak with Ryuuzaki for a while. I'll come home soon." Raito said.

" Fine. Good-night, Ryuuzaki. I'll see you when you get home, Raito." his father sighed as he moved to walked out the door.

" Good-night, Yagami-san" replied L as Raito's father closed the door and left the two alone.

L refused to look up from his laptop and merely continued to type as Raito continued to stare at him.

Raito slowly moved closer to the detective and once he drew close he placed his hand upon L's shoulder. The raven-haired man, jerked slightly from the sudden contact but did not stop his task at the computer.

" Ryuuzaki?"

" Yes, Raito?" L responded. Raito suddenly tightened his grasp upon the older man's shoulder and spun him around to face him. The pale man looked at him blushingly with his eyes widened. Raito smiled and leaned his face in towards L's ear.

" What did you really want to know about my feelings tonight?" he whispered.

L stared at him blankly, as if he had forgotten or was completely unaware of what Ratio was speaking about. The act infuriated Raito, but he held back his anger and instead vented it by teasing the detectives earlobe. He breathed heavily upon L's ear and then began to lick the outer shell. The dark-haired man began to squirm uncomfortably and Raito smiled.

" You want more?" Raito purred.

L looked at him, the detective's face held a pink blush, but his eyes shimmered with a sea of emotion and none of which Raito could identify. For a moment, Raito thought he would drown in the man's stare, but then the moment passed and L composed himself. All signs of the blush and any emotions vanished.

" Why?" the detective asked as he brought his thumb to his mouth. Raito eyed the appendage. He truly wanted to ignore the question. Did he really have to explain? He wanted to tease the man, to turn him on, to lead him on. Why he wanted to do it was because he was Kira, but the reason he would make sure L believed was because he liked him, needed him, wanted him, and maybe even loved him.

" I-I…" Raito stammered intentionally making it seem that he was waging a war with his emotions. The detective's avid attention.

Raito gulped and eyed L's thumb which so tenderly was placed upon his lips. A very vivid and naughty image once again traced his mind and at that moment Raito wondered just what L could do with that mouth. Raito began to sweat from a wave of heat that filled him mind and then thoughtlessly said. " I-I…I wish my cock was your thumb."

Raito covered his own mouth in shock of the perversion he had just uttered. L's eyes widened to an incredible degree, his mouth dropped wide open and he looked at Raito for the first time with a completely lost expression.

His stomach tied itself in a thousands knots, he had said something totally irrevocable. Something provocative he couldn't take back , even though it might scare the detective away from him.

" I- I what I meant to say was that I, that I…I" yet somehow Raito was completely at a loss for words. He Didn't know what to say to excuse the words he had just said. He hadn't meant to say them, they just slipped out. Thus, since words eluded him decided upon a course of action. He leaned forward and pushed L's thumb aside. Then he sealed a claiming kiss upon the dark-haired man's lips. Surprisingly, L reacted immediately by moving his lips against Raito and slightly opening his mouth allowing him entrance. Raito gladly accepted and slipped his tongue inside. L's arms enveloped him and pulled Raito down into a passionate kiss. Soon the weight of Raito leaning into the seated detective caused the chair to flip backwards and the two ended up on the floor in mess of searching limbs.

Raito moved so that he was completely on top of L and the detective arched his back moving his groin closer to Raito's

"Mmmm…Ryuuzaki." Raito groaned as he drove his hips downward to meet with L's and continued to grind his arousal against L's.

" Aah! Raito-kun, are you going to sleep with me tonight or tease me?" L moaned.

" Tease you." Raito whispered as he kissed L lightly and then pulled away. Raito stood up and smiled at the blushing detective sprawled on the floor just waiting to be taken.

" Ryuu, I saw the coy looks you gave me today. Don't fall to hard for me, okay." Raito sneered.

" How could I ever fall for Kira." the detective shot back defensively as he stood up.

" Either way your obviously hard." Raito pointed out.

" So are you." L stated annoyed as he eyed Raito's crotch area. Raito blushed at his own error.

" Goodnight, Ryuuzaki" Raito half-hissed as he turned away from the man and headed for the door.

" It up to 10 percent now." L mumbled just loud enough for Raito to hear and with that Raito exited and slammed the door behind himself.

As Raito departed from the entire building Matsuda approached him.

" Your dad asked me to wait and walk home with you to make sure you made it back safe." he said.

" I see." stated Raito.

Matsuda smiled brightly and then said " But I only agreed so I could see your cute sister."

Raito smiled , knowingly at him in an attempt to hide how offensively he had taken that.

Thus, an awkward silence consumed the two ant they walked nearly all the way to Raito's house without a single word. It wasn't until they two were practically at Raito's doorstep that Matsuda finally spoke up.

" Umm, Raito do you like Ryuuzaki?" he asked curiously.

" For someone who is constantly accusing me of being Kira, he's alright." Raito stated and then laughed wryly. Matsuda also laughed, but it was a odd uncomfortable laugh.

" Well, that's good because I think he's cute." Matsuda stated. Raito paused in his laughter and stared at the man speechlessly.

" I know that sounds odd, Raito, but he just…he's so smart and he's so cute and eccentric and I really admire him." Matsuda remarked bashfully.

" Matsuda are you gay?!" Raito questioned.

" N-no, its just Ryuuzaki is different from normal and I-I thought that y-you might like him too. Of course, I'm very glad you don't or we would be love-rivals." He babbled on hastily while Raito glared at him solemnly.

" I do not like Ryuuzaki, that would be weird. I suggest you also get over whatever strange infatuation you might have, I mean what do you think my father and Ryuuzaki would say. I mean, they might even dismiss you from the Task Force." Raito coaxed.

" I-I…know, but please don't tell anyone, Raito." Matsuda stammered worriedly." I just felt that if you liked Ryuuzaki, then I'd lose him ."

" I'm flattered, but he's not yours." Raito argued.

" I know, its just confusing the way I feel." Matsuda remarked.

" Well, you better be careful about it and move on fast or it could cause you trouble." Raito replied

" I know. Goodnight, Yagami-kun!" Matsuda said as he turned and waved goodbye.

" Goodnight!" Raito bid as he opened the front door to his house and stepped inside. Once inside he leaned against the door and bashed his head against it. "…Matsuda you idiot." he mumbled. There was no way that Matsuda would steal L from him. There was no way that Matsuda's amiable personality and idiotic demeanor could rival with him. Raito knew he had the upper-hand, he had already become rather intimate with L , and he far superior to Matsuda in both looks and intelligence. Yet, the idea of Matsuda wooing L greatly bother him. L was his, not that he wanted him. L would fall for him, not that he would fall for L. L would most definitely yearn for him with all of his body and Raito would gladly sleep with him to get his name. Raito would destroy L. He would betray his heart, mislead his trust, use his body, and then extinguish his soul. L would NEVER EVER belong to anyone but him..

I greatly thank you for reading this chapter. I know its been like 5 months since I updated. I'm sorry!!!!!!

But I hope you like it very much and I hope that some of my old readers are still reading.

Well I know you might think its odd that I added a love triangle involving Matsuda but the idea just sort of tickled my fancy. I can so see Matsuda having a one sided crush on L. Wheee!!

Hmmm well Raito sounded really jealous at the end. I wonder if he truly doesn't like Ryuuzaki. Hmmm

Anyways please leave me a review and I'd greatly appreciate it.

THANK YOU FOR READING
