So, I made a few changes to the end of the first chapter just so things make a little more sense. I changed how Yuri really died just so the police can treat the case as a murder. Thanks for advice and reviews!
The moment finally came when he visited me.
I was lying on my steel bed, trying to cry myself to sleep when his soft, comforting voice made me look up.
"Kisha… I am sorry." L crouched on the floor on the other side of the cell bars.
"It's not your fault." Sighing lightly, I rose from my bed and crawled over to L. His hands enlaced with mine. I missed his soft touch.
"I didn't think the detective would-"
"L, I don't care. I know who killed Yuri anyway." He blinked at me in confusion.
"Who is it then?" I bit my lip because I knew he'd ask me that.
"Um…" my voice wavered. How should I put this? "Light."
Blank faced, he squeezed my hand. "Are you sure?"
"Positive..." My voice echoed the room with confidence.
"How do you know?" This was it. I had to tell him, no more keeping it in. So, I told L about Yuri coming up to Rai and me after the death of Raye Penber. Then, her telling us she was going to confront Light. Finally, I recalled the sickening moments when I'd gone up to her room and found her dead. "I know it's him, but I don't have any solid proof..."
Listening intently, L nodded when I was done. With a small sigh, he looked down. "I believe you but…" Locking eyes with me, I saw the fear in them. "I think I'm going to die soon."
My head shook at his last words. "Not if I can help it."
He laughed slightly. "That's just it, isn't it Kisha-san? You see, you can't help me. I am going up against Kira."
Denying his words, I leaned in close and whispered to him. "I'm not gonna let that happen Ryu." Cupping his face in my hands, I leaned forward and kissed him. The feeling of passion continued to flow between us for awhile.
As he pulled away, he turned behind him. "I brought you something," he showed me a large chocolate cake. My eyes widened and my mouth watered.
"Mmm, Ryu. That looks delicious!" He also gave me some chocolate milk. My favorite, and he remembered.
L easily got the cake onto my side of the cell without messing it up completely. Setting the fork on top of the plastic lid, I smiled at him gratefully. "Thank you my love."
Giving a small smile, he nodded. "You're welcome my beloved."
Rain pounded outside. My cell was dry, but also cold and dark. Today there was a knot in the pit of my stomach. The atmosphere was stiff and humid. Even the jailer was in a pissed off mood.
Maybe the knot was telling me that I would never get out of here. Bail was never set, so not even a millionaire could get me out. Like I even knew one. Killing someone was the worst crime known. I wasn't going to get out of here for awhile...
That knot hurt even more when the walls echoed from footsteps outside my cell. I was huddled in a corner. As the person stopped in front of my cell, he chuckled.
"What are you doing here Light?" I didn't bother to look up.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." His voice was cold and sinister.
"Yeah right," I mumbled as I got up from the ground and walked toward him. "Give it up. I know you're Kira." Stopping at the cell bars, I glared at him.
For a moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. Not in a good way. The cell grew even colder as a chill crept up my spine. Head lowered, Light began to chuckle. His voice was low and menacing. Then it grew into an all out cackle. "That's right…" he said, his head raised up and locked eyes with me. "I am Kira."
Trembling, I gasped. "Y-you just-"
"Don't worry. I've already disabled all of the cameras in here." Disappointment flooded my body. I forgot how smart he actually was.
"Kisha, there's something I came to tell you." Light's face formed into a smirk.
"What?" He's already told me that he was Kira. How many more secrets did this guy have?
"I'm having Rem kill L today."
Growling, my hands reached through the bars to strangle Light, but he stepped back just in time. "You bastard!" Tears began to form in the corners of my eyes.
He snickered. "Have fun rotting in this cell while your boyfriend dies…" Returning into the shadows, Light walked down the hall leaving an echo of laughter behind him.
Holding back my tears, I clutched the cake L had given me. Popping open the lid, I seized the fork. Jabbing it into the middle of the cake, I took a bite and smiled.
About halfway through it, I noticed a glint in the cake. Picking at it with my fingers, I pulled out a zip lock baggy. What it contained made me want to shout for joy. I couldn't wait to thank L later. Inside was the key. The key to my freedom... well, actually to my cell. Running over to the door, I reached my hand through the bars and unlocked it from the other side. My cell immediately creaked open.
Creeping around the police station, I'd located my original clothes and put them on. Then I grabbed my boots and pushed them on as I stumbled through the hallways. I had no time to waste if I was going to save L.
I was extremely surprised that no one found me yet. Why did you give me that key L? Do you know you're going to die? Did you think that if I escaped that I could save you? Some part of me hopes that Light tries to kill L. I would get in so much trouble if I escaped and found out that he wasn't being threatened. Then I'd probably go to jail even longer.
Upon reaching the main lobby, I realized that I'd have to run in the rain. Sneaking across the room and past the receptionist, I bolted outside.
My head didn't know where to go. So, I let my feet decide. They decided to take me to a taxi. Paying with the last of my money, I told the taxi driver the location and we zoomed down the road.
Five minutes later, he came to a halt. I thought we were there already, but he mumbled from the front seat. "Rain makes traffic horrible." I sighed.
Leaning forward, I grunted. "How far from here?"
I was outside again, running through the pouring rain. Following the taxi driver's directions, I ran as fast as I'd ever ran in my life. This was officially a life or death situation. Light definitely wouldn't have confessed to me that he was Kira if he didn't plan to kill L. I couldn't afford to lose L. Not my love.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I reached HQ. Instead of bursting through the main room, I used the elevator. Climbing out of it, I sprinted down the hall and searched through each room. I knew Rem had to be on this floor because this use to be Misa's floor.
Banging through every room, I got to the last room in the hallway. Shoving open the door, my heart dropped. There, standing in the middle of it, was Rem. She was frantically writing in the Death Note.
Don't mind the mistakes if there are any. I tried my best.
