Chapter Twelve:

Light's POV

"Ryuzaki, please tell me you have your phone or some kind of phone located in the elevator?"

" I'm afraid not Light-kun", (Nooow its back to Light-kun)

" God damn it!" The light of the flash light began to flicker, struggling to stay alive. I think this was one of the only times I've seen L the great detective get pissed off over something unrelated to the Kira case. " Great now its completely dark." His voice hinted fear, and his face.. Well he could be crying right now and I would have no idea. The elevator was just that dark.

" Are you afraid of the dark", I almost laughed as I said this. There is no way the greatest detective in the world has a fear of the dark, that's just so kindergarten… But I guess I could kind of understand why you'd be afraid. He suspects me to be Kira and the power went out when were stuck in an elevator with no video camera. In addition, he knows I'm upset about… well I'm not quite sure what he thinks I'm upset about. Maybe he does think I'm only upset about my father and mother, but you'd think he would think I might be upset with him… I mean I kissed him and he rejected me… Tears threatened my eyes, I quickly released my mind from the thought of the dark haired raccoon eyed boy that was right next to me.

" I am not afraid of the dark, I am afraid of what can happen if I am not able to see and analyze the situation." L was still glued to my shoulder, I could feel his breath on my mouth, it tasted sweet and sugary. I took advantage of the situation and engulfed him in my arms. I thought he would try to escape, but instead he snuggled in my chest. I ran my fingers through his thick black hair. Surprisingly, it felt brushed and my fingers went through quickly without getting stuck on a knot.

" Liiigght", his voice was hoarse, his body shaking a little in my own.

" Yes, Ryuzaki", I whispered. His fear was contagious, I mean why would the power happen to go right when we entered the small elevator. This seemed to be planned out perfectly, maybe Kira was spying on us. Maybe he's been planning this out for a long time, just waiting for the right moment when everyone is confused. My palms began to sweat.

" I'm sorry" His voice was sincere, but I could tell he was uncomfortable. He wasn't used to apologizing and his tone betrayed him. Silence swept through the elevator like the plague. He tried to break it, but quickly retracted.

"It's ok Ryuzaki. It's not your fault the power went out", I ran my fingers up and down his back comfortingly. His spine was boney and rigid.

"No, I'm sorry that… I said you weren't my friend. I was just scared… I'm really not as strong as everyone thinks." I held him closer, and kissed the top of his head. My fingers caressed his face, and my lips collided with his.

" Light… we can't do this.. You're my suspect and…" I cut him off, angered flickered through out me.

" How many times do I have to tell you? I am not or never have been Kira!" my voice was loud, tears of anger slithers down my eye like a water snake. Why can't he just believe me! How could I be Kira if I been with him for weeks and even if I did give the power or how ever Kira kills to someone else, wouldn't I at least remember? Shit.. This sucks.. I can't.. I'm not.. Why won't he believe me… Why can't I believe myself… My thoughts were broken off by L, his voice raged out and my thoughts deceased.

" How can I be sure?", his voice questioned, he began to push away from me. " Why should I trust you? I trusted my parents when they said they'd be back but I DON'T SEE THEM ANYWHERE. Why the hell should I trust anyone? Should I just trust the criminals that they didn't commit a crime even though all the evidence points to them?

" No but.."

"Then why should I trust you…" His voice was becoming weaker, his body was shaking so hard the whole elevator shook.

" Ryuzaki… you should trust me because I'm your friend and I would never let anything happen to you." I grabbed him, his body was as cold as a ghost.

"How do I know…" his voice was trailing off. " My parents.. They were.."

"I'm not like your parents.."

"And my brother…"

"Your brother?" I questioned, I didn't even know he had a brother.

" Never mind…"

" Tell me what happened…"

" He promised… he wouldn't…" his voice trembled. " I'm not allowed to speak of this.. Sorry Light-kun.."

" I understand, I just wish you didn't have to keep everything bottled up inside you all the time. It must be hard and.. Your stronger than you think you are… anyone would have cracked with all the pressure you hold on your shoulders. I don't understand how you can go through life with all you have seen, the worst murders, the worst people without tell anyone how you feel. Your.. Your incredibly strong.. And I'm upset over…" His arms hug me tighter, he put my head on his shoulder and began to rub my back.

" Your stronger than you think too", His voice was a mumble. I liked the sound of it, it was…. Sexy. I leaned into his chest and he took up straight. Whoa hes actually taller than me.. I laughed to myself. His face barred into my hair. His lips were placed on my scalp, then quickly removed.

" Light, I loov" the elevator rumbled, and the door began to slide open. Of course, now it opens.

" Light! Ryuzaki! Are you guys ok?" My father voice beckoned out, while Watari was prying the door open. I released the dark eyed boy from my arms.

"Yes, we are okay Yagami-sun. How did you manage to find us?"

" Watari was watching the security cameras and saw you go into the elevator before the power went out." My fathers voice answered. The elevator doors were finally pried open enough for both L and I to slip out.
