Akane was kidnapped last chapter! Let's see what happens next! What is L going to do?! Enjoy and Review!

Chapter 29: The Day That Was Promised

"Love, hate, revenge, and justice. Every choice I have made brought me to this moment. I can't falter now that so such is at sake. You will find me, my dear L Lawliet."

-Akane Yagami-

"Akane's been kidnapped!" Matsuda yelled to his comrades.

"We know!" Aizawa yelled at him. "Are allies are already preparing for on the attack. So pipe down already! Her dad is frantic enough for everyone else! L's on his way. We are just waiting for the place we're to strike and save the girl."

"L did not sound to happy on the phone either," Ukita said concerned.

"Yeah he seemed completely pissed," Mogi told them and shiver. "It scared the hell out me!"

Suddenly the door slammed open and L stood there frowning with an aura that would frighten anyone he would cross. It took everything he had to keep his face relax and he made sure Watari drove like hell itself was chasing him. If Kira wants a war that I'll give him one! Wait for me, Akane...

"Speak of the devil and he shall come," Aizawa said and then thought, Man why do I feel as if things are about to get bad?

….

"Report, where are the men now?" L asked as he looked over his co-workers.

"The men are nearly prepared to roll out with an ETA of ten minutes or less. They have been informed to hide their faces," Aizawa said serious. "They just need a place to strike."

"That would be Saint Anthony's Catholic Church. That is where Akane is being held." Watari informed them.

"Saint Anthony's? Wasn't that place near ruins until private investors had it repair over eight months ago?" Ukita asked.

"Saint Anthony," L scoffed before he crossed his arms, "of course it's the Zealous of Justice. That's just like Kira. When can the men arrive at the rendaivu? How many men will we have?"

"An half hour?" Mogi said. "A hundred, but Kira's men are at least two thousand men. We'll be out numbered, but our men will have the experience over his recruits. Hopefully, but they will be armed to the teeth with riffles and other guns."

"So much for civilians not possessing guns in Japan," Miguel commented.

"Very well," L said turning to his thoughts, This is the reason Kira has gather an army. To stop me from getting to her. He misjudge our relationship to a high degree. I will save you, Akane. No matter what happens tonight.

….

Donovan stared at Thanatos the Bone Judge and motioned for him to follow. Without saying a word he followed after him into a private room. Thanatos watched as he took a seat on the couch and he followed suit sitting across from him. "What is the about Donovan? Why summon me away from my human?" Thanatos asked.

"I don't want you to kill him, but I will to be the one who kills Kira." Donovan told him.

"Are you planning on killing him yourself? I thought you where going to stop your writings in your Death Note after Ciaran's death. Just letting your clock tick to zero. After all... the two of you were rather imitate." Thanatos replied being careful with his words with the serious Shinigami before him.

"I am planning just that," He said and sighed tiredly even if he couldn't be. Perhaps living for so long had it's strain on anyone, "Waiting for the end would take centuries, Thanatos. I will not want to wait."

"You're planning to kill yourself? That's no like you or very knightly of you. Why?" Thanatos asked a bit surprised by that.

"Knightly, a sacrifice is needed to insure Akane's happiness, that in it's self is knightly." Donovan softly informed him. "A price I'm more than willing to pay. She had enough and shouldn't walk this world alone, Thanatos. I want her happy just as much as Ciaran wanted before he gave his life for her."

Thanatos nodded mostly to himself, "You really love this human girl don't you, don't you old friend?"

"Like she was my own child," Donovan told him gladly.

"Does she resemble Andrea Daighin (Irish name meaning 'Beautiful Dawn') that much?" He asked staring at him wondering what the hell he was thinking.

Andrea Daighin, Donovan thought to himself a wistful look to him, it's been a long time since I heard that name said aloud. The child we came to be parents of in our human lives. She was the dawn of our mornings and so very beautiful. Her and Akane look very much alike and they share personalities as well. It was shocking the first time we spotted her by chance. We might have never taken an interest to Akane if it were not for Andrea. Thank you both for giving us happiness in both our lives even if we never deserved that. It's time I paid you both back for that happiness.

"Perfectly, my old friend. Can you do this for me? Let me have one last slay?" Donovan inquired. He may not like this one, but this was one Shinigami's honor to another which changed things between them if only enough for them to speak freely like this.

"As you wish, he is yours." Thanatos promised as he extended his hand toward him and they both shook his hand in respect, "I wish you well on your journey."

"You as well. We may not get along, but it matters little now. I thank you, Thanatos. This is my final adieu and I'm grateful." Donovan told him sincerely.

….

"Team 1 will be taking the sewers that lead under the church, Team 2 will work distraction at the front entrance, half of Team 3 will be taking the left flank of the building, and the rest will be working of sniper detail. Be sure to put the best we have in those sniper positions. Your job is to subdue the enemy with these high powered tranquilizers." L said as Watari opened a case revealing a Pneu Dart Model 190B handgun and Pneu Dart Model 178B rifle. "These have the capability of taking down a full grown bulls. We are not them and we will not kill unless absolutely necessary."

"Sounds like a plan," Aizawa said, "but where is Akane located?"

"She at the top floor. This is the room," Donovan whispered in L's ear and pointed to the room to show him her exact location. Then he quickly stepped aside for as not be in the way.

"The top floor," L said pointing at the top floor of the Churches schematics as he wondered, How does he know that? Is it because he is Akane's Shinigami? He has a determined look in his eye as well. He has something planned of his own. What could he be up to?

"This area was only recently added and we believe this is where Kira has lived ever since he faked his death," ex-chief Souichiro informed them with a stern face.

"Kira's real identity is Satoru Kaguya," L told them as he placed a photo of him onto the table though his hair had been photo shopped to be red in color.

Souichiro couldn't even look at it as his eyes turned elsewhere. The boy's betrayal wounded him far more than he ever thought it would. Akane didn't know, but he was hoping that one day he would have been Akane's husband. He seemed so dutiful and respectful. How didn't he notice that he was a cool blooded killer? It was a disgrace that he even considered leave his little girl with that monster.

"He has dyed is hair red as you see here and this is what he looks like. His image has been shown to the other men as well." L continued. "However, He could of changed his hair color again so make sure memorize his face."

"Excuse me!" A woman said entering the room. She looked just like Akane when she was quite peeved about something, but she was twice her age and in navy scrubs with a white doctor's coat. His golden-brown hair was in a quick messy bun. A medical bag was strapped to her as she pushed through the crowd in the room to get to them.

"Asa, what are you doing here?" Souichiro demanded as she came to stand next to them with a glare.

"What? You don't think I would of found about my daughter getting kidnapped?" she demanded angrily at him. "You may have raised her but she's mine too. She was the best one night stand mistake I have ever made, whither you like it or not and you should of told me first place. My sister had to tell me for crying out loud!"

"Asa! Not one is suppose to know about that. Akane doesn't even know and we agreed to never tell her!" Souichiro told her outraged.

"Like I care. If it wasn't for you I would of told her ages ago. Now," she said turning to L who was pretending he didn't just heard her say that Akane was her child, "Hello, L."

L lifted a brow at her, "How do you know who I am?" He asked and thought, So I was right. Asa is Akane's mother and Souichiro is her father.

"Because I'm not an idiot, sweet thing. Now, I'll be helping dealing with the wounded and I won't take no for an answer." She told him adjusting the medic bag on her shoulder. "So where will I be?"

He nodded not wanting to argue with her, "Just outside the strike zone," L said. "You'll be out of harm's way and the wounded will be brought to you."

"Understood," Asa nodded.

….

It was freezing, Akane's head was pounding as she started to come to. Her mouth was dry and tasted like copper. Worse of all something was tight and itchy all over her body. "Wha..." she groaned as she looked down. You're got to be fucking kidding me! A wedding dress?!

It was a simple and elegant mermaid gown. She could tell it was expensive as she stood. The lace of the veil and dress was itchy as hell though. Why am I wearing this? She thought her mind a bit hazy. Wait more important... who dressed me in this? I don't remember putting this on. The last thing I remember was...

The was when she remembered. She had been kidnapped by Kira's men and someone had chloroformed her. Quickly she looked over the room finding herself alone in a room. It was painted gray and over in a corner was her clothes including her belt. Quickly she took the belt off her clothes and strapped it to her right thigh. At least they can know my exact location now. No need to look for a phone. They would of taken both of them, Akane thought, but is there no way get a message to them?

Morse code... using the belt maybe? Akane thought to herself.

….

"L I have something," Watari said quietly to L.

"Yes? What is it Watari?" L replied.

"I think Akane sent us a message using Morse code with her belt," He told him.

"What's the message?" L said and internally smirked, Smart girl.

"The message she sent was; 'I am still alive. My proof that this is me is enjoy teasing your cute self L and I made you strawberry Mochi when you last stayed the night. I do not know if this message will reach you, but I had to try. Kira has me lock in some room and there are no windows in here. Even worse I am in a damn itchy wedding dress. I will keep the belt on me so hopefully you'll know where I am. Please, be safe.' That was all so far and she repeated three times, but afterward there was nothing else." Watari informed him.

Wedding dress? Why would Kira have her in a wedding dress unless... No he isn't planning to marry her right after defeating us is he or perhaps during? Could he be that confident about this situation? L thought to himself not replying to Watari had said. L glared, So that how your playing this Kira. You've underestimated me and that will be your undoing. I'll be there soon, Akane.

….

Akane sighed sliding down a wall and hoped they received her message and at least this tight dress hid the belt. She just hoped Kira didn't try and grope her. The thought alone made her shiver in disgust. She hugged herself a bit of fear crawled up her spine as well. What do I do? I feel so useless right now. I'm trapped in this damn room with no way out and note to self; I officially hate small spaces, Akane thought to herself. The only weapon I have is my house keys. That can't do much damage, but maybe it could... give me the chance to get a weapon from a guard or something.

Then there was a click and something that sounded like someone was fidgeting with the locks. She quickly stood straight and glared toward the door as it opened, "Kiyomi," she said coldly. She wasn't surprised to see her in the slightest.

"Oh don't look so disappointed," She said with a smug smirk on her face. She also wore a wedding dress with hers being the right size on her and not a size or two to small and it hug on her curves along with showing some skin with that slit on her left leg's side which reveal a small knife in her garter. Her dress was also made of silk and looked comfortable. Now that Akane thought about it maybe Kiyomi was in charge of choosing a dress and did it on purpose. Akane's dress constricted her movement so she couldn't run in this thing and the fabric was uncomfortable against her skin. "Were you expecting L or may be Kira?" Akane said nothing in reply. "No answer? Well, that matters very little. It's best you get that L weirdo out of your mind. You are a bride of Kira. Plus by midnight L will be dead. Then there will be no one that can stop him. He'll be free to shape this world as he sees fit!"

She really likes hearing herself talk, Akane thought her glaring expression not changing once, but she did cross her arms impatient with this woman.

"Tonight we'll both be wed to him," Kiyomi told her.

"How about no. You marry him. I'll just leave." Akane replied. "The only one I want is L. You can have Kira all to yourself. You're out of your mind if you think I would ever want to marry that lying, backstabbing bastard."

She tsked at Akane, "Oh sweetheart if only it where that easy. Do you like your dress? I picked it out for you."

"It's in poor taste," Akane commented and added in her mind, just like you. Hurry and get me out of here L Lawliet. These people are nuts thinking I'm going to marry that monster!

That hit a nerve just like Akane planned to do. "Stupid ungrateful bitch," Kiyomi said kneeing her in the stomach.

Akane gasped for air as she collapse to the ground, I knew that was going to happen. That hurt more than I thought it would, though. Oh, but... worth it. I got her knife.

"You're lucky. I can't damage Kira's prize to badly or he'll not be pleased. See you soon dear. You better not mess up that make up of yours." Kiyomi said as she left the room. Leaving Akane on the floor still gasping for air not knowing Akane was now armed thanks to her as she placed a small blade into the bust of her dress. Yes, it was defiantly worth it.

….

The assault on the church was a rough one. They advanced was slow as the hours passed by and they had taken minor to casualties. However Kira's men where falling like flies, but even so it mattered little. They're number where far greater compared to themselves. It was as if you cut one head off two took it's place sort of situation they were in. Of course that would of made better progress if they shoot to kill, but instead they used tranquilizers and arrested or tied up whoever they could.

Asa patched everyone up that she could even their foes and most of them where miss guided youths with minor injuries. She wish she could help more, but unlike everyone else she didn't have much experience with combat. She was a healer not some gun wielding badass. Her biggest problem was the gun wounds and she ended up calling some of her friends from work to help with the wounded. More than she predicted showed up to assist her in helping those in the line of fire. She just hoped Akane and L where going to be alright. Asa also hoped at least most of them would make it back home to their families, but still she knew a lot of would not. Akane take care and please don't take any unnecessary risk... the same goes for you L, She thought to herself in a silent prayer.

Then there was a sudden explosion from down below and she overheard Souichiro on the radio, "Team 1 has successfully penetrated the church. Advance men, let us take down Kira and save my daughter!"

L and many others including entered the lower level of the church. It was full of bleachers, a podium, confession rooms, hand painter glass from the shattered windows. "All clear here!" A man called from a down a stairwell to the basement.

"No one is here... at least not on this floor," Aizawa called out. "I smell a trap! Check your corners!"

Something rolled on the floor toward the men and it sprouted smoke. Causing several men to couch and fall to the ground.

"It's Tear Gas! Fall back!" A man called out.

It was to late they where surrounded and in the confusion L was captured as one of the men they had in trusted with this task placed a chloroform rag over his mouth just like they did to Akane. It was just to predictable to L, but let his head dropped faking that he had passed out. This has be the fastest way to get to her. Akane I'm coming for you. Just a bit longer, he thought to himself.

….

Kiyomi soon returned to Akane's cell. She didn't seemed suspicious of her missing her blade to Akane's relief as she sat on the table that held her clothes. Akane really wanted to change back into her other clothes, but she couldn't reach the damn zipper on the back of her dress and she sure as hell tried though.

"Come along now," Kiyomi said with a smile on her face.

It couldn't be midnight yet could it? Akane thought coming to a stand as she stare at her eyes full of mistrust. What is going on?

"Oh don't look at me like that. I'm the voice of Kira after all. Are you getting cold feet?" Kiyomi asked.

"Cold feet? Are you kidding?" Akane demanded. "Why would I? I'm not going to be marrying anyone tonight. I'll die first."

Kiyomi laughed, "You will, but you won't be dying yet I'm afraid. Even Ryuga,or should I say L is here to witness it."

Her words gave Akane pause. He's here? I heard an explosion. What is him? Is he attacking this place. Where am I any way? Please tell me it's not some church! That would be to predictable!

"Are you surprised?" She asked.

"No," Akane replied. Now that he's here I'm even more sure I'm not going to be marrying that bastard. Just don't be captured or anything L. Please be safe.

"Interesting, anyway come on," Kiyomi said gesturing for her to follow.

….

Donovan watched as L was dragged into a hall into an area the was obviously prepared for a wedding. There where roses and white lilies weaved into an archway above an alter. Lace and rose pelts lingered all around. It was meant to be beautiful, but you could feel the malice coming from the room. This is one sick puppy, Donovan thought angrily. He's planning to force Akane into marriage! Despicable... L whatever you have plan take care the steps where you tread are dangerous indeed.

L was placed on the first row of the bleachers and Donovan knew he was still awake. Kira had made a mistake leaving him unbound. "Ah, Donovan. Long time no see." Ryuk said to him knowing Kira wasn't around to hear them speak.

"Ryuk, what a slimy host you have chosen," Donovan commented.

Ryuk chuckled, "We'll not all of our host can be a sexy teen girls like yours now can they?" he asked him amused by that. "Though I must say I don't particularly like this one myself."

"That's true unfortunately," Donovan said calmly. What exactly does he have planned?

"Hm, well I better get going I don't want to that guy all suspicious of us." Ryuk said before flapping his wings and taking off through a wall.

"Yeah, see you, Ryuk," Donovan said to his back almost as if in a permanent farewell.

….

Half an hour later Akane came through the door way leading down the long aisle to the alter. "Donovan," Akane mouthed to him. If he's here than... so is L! Her eyes gazed elsewhere and soon spotted him.

"L!" Akane called out running after him, but the dress limited her movement some it was more of a light jog. "Damn dress," she mumbled under her breath as she grabbed onto L. "L?"

L stayed still as he felt the warmth of her hands, but he thankful that Donovan was there. "He's fine. He faked passing out just in case any of his lackeys were watching to us. Don't make a move and listen to me."

Alright talk, my friend, Akane thought. "Come open you're eyes L. Say something, please." she pleaded.

Donovan received the message was loud and clear, "L has a plan just keep calm. I know you're scared right now," he said placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, "but everything will be alright. Just be brave for us, alright? Like you always have been."

Okay, Donovan. I'll do whatever I can, Akane thought. Then she said, "L? Please be okay."

"Well, well, the lovely couple finally reunited," A voice said from the corner of the room. It was a male's voice and Akane's eyes turned toward it. He was in a expensive black suit with a red tie. Kira or rather Satoru had grown out his still red hair. However his blue eyes turned to them and all the color in Akane's face vanished. Looking at him completely turned all those good memories to something tainted, painful, haunting, and cruel to the highest level of imagination. "How very... disturbing."

Why did he do all this? Why did he abandon Toshi? Does he even care how much pain he put him though or how alone he's been? Is he really that much of a sociopath? Does he not care at all how his little brother feels? Akane thought. "Does he know?" Her voice spoke without her permission.

"Hm? Does who know what?" Satoru asked confused by her sudden question.

"Does Toshi know that you're alive? I've been afraid to ask him directly. I don't want to hurt him any more than the pain you already gave him." Akane asked calmly as she glared at him the burning fires of hatred in her eyes that made him step back just a little. "So tell me, Satoru Kaguya, did he know?"

He closed his eyes and scuffed as an amused smirk crossed his face, "No, he never knew. Does that make you happy, my dear Akane?" Satoru asked of her.

"No, nothing you say will ever make me happy," Akane responded looking away from him. I really do hate him. Even more for betraying Toshi and abandoning him like that! How could he have done done that? Why had he? Was it all for the sake of his power? Why? Why did you do all of this?! Where you so enthralled by the power of the Death Note that you lost all your senses?! Is your heart really this dark and weak or did you not actual care about us at all?

"I doubt that," He told her as his gaze was once again upon her. "My men brought your petty little lover here for you. I thought we needed a witness for this little gathering, but I see you're still so attached to his boy of a man. Such a shame... that he's going to be dead soon." Satoru smiled enjoying the thought of that on it's own. L had caused him so much trouble and he wanted to do this on his own. "Now lets began. Hold her for me. I want her to watch."

"What? Let go of me!" Akane yelled as she was pulled back by two men in black suit and she recognized them as Kiyomi bodyguards. Her arms where held onto tightly by Kira's men. "What are you going to do?"

He didn't say a word as he approached her and lifted her chin up to him, "That's rather simple, Akane. I'm going to kill him right in front of you." He said forcing his kiss upon her lips and she felt sick at his touch alone. Akane bit him and he pulled away with a chuckle. Then he whispered against those same lips, "Feisty as ever and this is so you'll never forget the only man allowed in your life is me. Learn you're lesson well my dear. I won't want to put you through the same pain twice."

"You already have, you bastard!" Akane growled trying to get out the bodyguards' hold hold her.

Kira didn't seem to care as gave her one final kiss on the cheek before his hand fell away from her. He turned to L. He was on a bleacher seemingly completely unaware that his life was about to be taken from him. Satoru slow took a step forward wanting to savor this moment in Kira's glorious history. His hands out stretched for L's neck. It was all bout to be over. Just had to get tho ehands around that scrawny little neck of his. Akane would be his whither she wanted to be or not in just a few moments after L was dead. L's death would break her and she would submit to his whim just like everyone else. Then this world would be perfect.

Abruptly there was a bare and pale foot in Satoru's face that caught him completely off guard. "I don't think so," L's voice sounded before his kicked as hard as could.

Satoru landed on floor his nose bleeding out, "Bastard, how are you even awake?" he demanded.

"Did you really think I wouldn't see that coming?" L asked. "I knew you'd us your lackeys to get to me. It was just so foreseeable of a coward like you. So I planted some men as spies for your little operations here. It wasn't that hard will all the recruiting you had going on." His dark silvery eye looked up at Akane and he asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yes..." Akane said giving a short lived sigh of relief. Thank goodness I was scared to death! Akane thought to herself. "are you?"

L nodded before he took a stance that reminded Donovan of capoeira style of Brazil. He almost didn't recognize it since it has been so long since he had been in Brazil. So the kid can fight, Donovan thought, good, but will it make a difference?

"L be careful Satoru knows Tai Chi!" Akane warned him as Satoru kicked his leg outward and landed on his feet with ease.

He smirked as he punched L square in the face only to be kicked in the stomach. "Ugh!"

Akane was forced to watch helplessly as the two exchanging blows. L spit blood from his bleed mouth and blood was falling from his right cheek. Satoru wasn't doing much better his left eye was swollen shut and and his ankle was sprained.

Before she knew what was going on Akane had a blade against her throat, "Enough!" Kiyomi yelled. "L if you move a single step I'll slit her throat!"

L froze in place and he turned his eyes toward them. Before he could say anything Satoru spoke first, "Kiyomi," he said an angry tone in his voice, "how dare you put a knife to Akane's throat."

"I had to stop you and L fighting. Just kill him already, master!" Kiyomi said quickly and rather desperately.

"Kill Kiyomi," Kira said annoyed and through with her.

She gasped as one of the men holding Akane let her go, took the knife out of her hand, and his hand went to her throat. There was a snapped and Kiyomi went limp on the clod floor. It all happened all in seconds, but it gave Akane a moment to grab the blade out of her bust and stab the man's hand who was holding her. "Ah!" he cried out.

"Get a hold of her before she gets away!" Kira ordered.

The one that had snapped Kiyomi's neck was the one to get a hand on Akane. The back of her head slammed against his nose likely breaking it and she landed on the floor going for the knife Kiyomi had to her throat only to be grabbed roughly by her hair.

"Don't loose your grip this time and make sure she watches this." Kira told them firmly.

She looked up and saw his hands round L's throat, "No!" Akane called out. Struggling against them trying break free with all her might, but unfortunately the tight dress didn't allow her full strength even as it ripped at it's seams. She was crying, "No, please not him! I love L! You already ripped out my heart once! Please don't take him away from me too! I'd rather die!"

Satoru was not going to let up anytime soon as he looked into Akane's eyes and there his gaze lingered. Savoring the tormented expression on her face as she pleaded for L's life. He was enjoying her suffering. She had betrayed him. This was her punishment for falling in love with someone else. Yes, scream for Kira to stop. Beg him to spare L and then fall into despair know it was a useless effort. Knowing that you we're powerless... no that you are powerless against me. Then submit to you're new God! He gloated in his mind, but little did he know things where about to take a completely different course.

Donovan had waited for this moment. L's life was slipping away by Kira's... Satoru's hands. Just like he had planned. He took his Death Note from belt and written Kira's name inside along with the men holding Akane. Then he closed the Note and slapped Satoru with it as hard as he could wanting him to know who had finally ended him. "I am Sir Donovan and know that 'tis I that has ended you're miserable and worthless life," He informed his as his eyes turned to Akane.

Akane's eyes widened, "Donovan! What did you do?" she whispered as his hand brushed against her cheek and as he did Kira grabbed onto his chest collapsing to the floor next to L. Then the men holding Akane did the same.

He smiled sadly upon her, "I was fulfilling a promise I made to you and Ciaran. Now you will never be alone. Don't cry," He told her gently brushing away her tears. "I'll be with Ciaran and go where ever that leads." he moved his head toward her love, "L Lawliet... take good care of her for me and live long happy lives together."

"Donovan... I don't understand what did you do?" Akane asked not wanting believe it. "Don't leave... please."

"You know what I have down," Donovan said as he began to slowly turn into ash. "It was the same thing Ciaran did for you and now I for L. Have a happy life... my beloved Akane."

Donovan was still smiling as he slowly becoming nothing, but ash and sand. His thoughts where at peace, I'm glad I had the opportunity to met you, Akane. You brought me happiness and eased my regret. Be happy with your new lives. Don't cry, my lady. I'm at peace and I'm happy to see you in a wedding dress before I go. I wish only good fortune upon you both and all I ask is you to be happy. Farewell and good journey to you both. I have no regrets. So I thank you for your kindness.

"Donovan!" Akane cried out in her sorrow. He was gone and he had given his life to save L. More over he had given his life so Akane did not have to walk this would... alone.

EDITED!
