Light stared at his computer screen absent-mindedly, he hadn't been able to concentrate on his work since losing L. Sayu had attempted to comfort him on many occasions only to find that it was nearly impossible.
"It's been two months Light, he's probably out of Japan by now. It wasn't meant to be, you have to move on now,he's probably forgotten about you by now, Ryuzaki isn't exactly the kind of person that -"
"You don't know him like I do. He didn't forget, he's hiding something from me. He's still in love with me, I know he is." Chief Yagami sighed.
"Light, I think you're-"Light stood up and glared at his father.
"If mom had suddenly told you that she never loved you, and wanted nothing to do with you, what would you think?"
"Light, your mother -"
"Tell me, what you would do."
"I'd probably assume something happened that -"
"Exactly. Something happened and Ryuzaki's not able to tell me. Whatever it is, I have to get it figured out before I lose him completely. Watari's been here a couple times and he looks like he's been upset for a while, if Ryuzaki-"
"Light, that's enough now. It's over and there's nothing you or anyone else can do. I'm sorry son, but it's time to move on." Enraged, Light stormed out of the building. As he emerged, and walked down the street, he was unaware of the figure watching him from the distance.
"It's good to see you ate a few strawberries today, it's still not close to what you normally eat but it's a start. I know you miss him but Lovell, you truly did the best thing for him. You're protecting him to the best of you're ability." Watari assured L gently.
"You know as well as I do that there's a good chance that Light was already seen with me, given the nature of the note you picked up from in front of the taskforce building." L said holding it up.
"No one can get into the building if they don't belong there, that's the way you set it up. Light is safe,you've been staying away from him and I'm sure that anyone hired to come after you would have realized by now that he's not part of it. They had to have seen that you're not interested in him. As much as it hurts you both,you are doing everything you can to protect them."
"No, I haven't caught him, and I will not allow them to be killed because of my mistake. I brought Light and his family into this the day I decided to stay here, I brought this danger and if something happens to any of them, I will never be able to forgive myself.
