Chapter 14
At last, the third Kira is caught and he reveals that the killing is done by writing a person's name in a notebook called Death Note.
When it's brought to L his eyes widens in shock and he claims that the book makes him see a death god. Light is very curious to see this god too and takes the book from L.
In doing so memories flood back to him and he can't help but to shout out loud. He was the original Kira, killing people with this very notebook; Misa is his accomplice and L his sworn enemy for trying to stop him.
Light is going to be God in this new world he is creating, a world without crimes and violence where Kira is the police, Law and Justice.
This revelation makes Light feel all mighty and for a moment he thinks about killing L right then and there then realizes that he still doesn't know the detectives real name so he settles on killing Higuchi.
Light wonders if he possibly could be more pleased with himself than he is right at this moment.
It's late, they are back at Headquarters and his father is reading the rules of the Death Note out loud including the two rules that Light secretly added.
To add those fake rules in order for him and Misa to look innocent and making sure that no one will destroy the notebook was pure brilliance. L has met his match and he doesn't even realize it.
Light basks in this moment when his success and L's imminent failure becomes obvious to him. L, along with the others believes in the rules and no matter which questions L asks the death god, Rem, about the book she won't give anything away.
When the hour is more morning than night they all agree that they have had enough for one day and decide to meet again the next morning. Light and L walks off to their room, both of them exited but for opposite reasons.
At first Light thinks it might be hard to act as his "normal" self when he is alone with L but for some reason it isn't difficult at all.
L's touches makes his body react in the same way it did the night before and when the detective ravish him with his kisses Light gets the feeling that there is a fever burning inside of him.
The detective haven't said much about the great discovery he made tonight but by the way his body is reacting under Light's fingers he can tell that the youth is more than pleased.
Afterwards, when Light is lying between the detectives arms to guard him from nightly terrors, he wonders what he will feel when getting rid of L.
Kira can't be a god as long as L is there to resist him. As long as L is, Kira have to watch over his shoulders and won't be able to reign in peace.
Light can't help to feel a bit sentimental at the thought of killing the only person he ever felt close to in this world, but in order for his new world to exist, there can't be anybody who oppose him.
If L only knew what was best for him he would step down from this investigation and they could keep the relationship they have, they could be each other's equals in mind as well as body.
But Light knows as well as any other that L walking away from this investigating is as likely as cherry blossoms blooming in November.
The more Light thinks about it the more certain he gets, L has to go. He knows too much, his conclusions are to accurate and his mind to sharp.
All Light has to do is put aside his feelings for the youth, ask Rem for help in the matter and be done with it.
