Chapter 29
The Fight
Lawliet's POV
I knew what I did was wrong, but I was only thinking of the case.
Only thinking of the case…I never even gave a thought to how Amane would feel when she learned the truth. And Nyamo would have felt it as well.
Everyone was completely silent and looked at me. I stood up and went towards the door.
"Nyamo?"
There was no answer.
"Nyamo please let me explain I-"
The door flew open and she tossed me a pillow and a blanket. She slammed the door again and I sighed. I banged my fist against the wall. I was upset with myself not with her. She'd been right. Amane was a person, not a tool to use in this investigation.
"Nyamo if you won't open the door then just listen. I'm so sorry, you were right and so was Light-kun. I was only thinking of the case and that was wrong. Amane doesn't deserve to be treated that way even if she is a suspect. I love you." I said.
There was still no answer. I pressed my forehead against the door. After a few minutes I turned away and went back to my chair.
Nyamo's POV
I looked out the window and over the city. I looked at my rings and sighed. I slowly opened the door and found everyone asleep except L. I walked forward silently and put my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me, very surprised.
"Nyamo! I'm so sorry."
"Shhh. I know you're sorry, but how could you say such things? You know of my abilities, I would feel all of Amane's pain. It would feel like someone was ripping out my heart." I whispered.
He took my face in his hands and pressed his forehead to mine.
"I know, I know. I should've thought about what I was saying."
I covered his hands with mine.
"I'll always forgive you because I love you. And because I know that you regret your actions at times."
He smiled and then kissed me. The kiss quickly became heated and his tongue wrestled with mine. I held back my moan for fear of waking the others and tangled my fingers in his hair. It was he who moaned softly. Slowly we separated and I smiled at him.
"That building is very impressive." I said.
He smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear.
"You and I will have our own room, though I probably won't use it much. It will be right outside the main room and you will have everything you need. And we'd be staying there, not moving hotels all the time." he said.
"There's only one problem."
I touched the handcuff on his wrist and he sighed.
"I know. But they'll be off in no time and you'll have me all to yourself." He promised.
I smiled and nodded.
"Or would you like me to handcuff myself to you?" He asked.
I held back my laughter and smiled.
"Maybe for a night of fun. But I think you'd get sick of me if I was with you every hour of the day."
He pulled me closer.
"It's not possible for me to get sick of you." He murmured.
I smiled.
"I adore you."
I kissed him hard and he put his arm around me.
"Um…"
I growled as I pulled away.
"You know I'm eventually gonna hurt you. I'm just waiting for you to give me a reason." I hissed.
Light looked a little worried and I kissed L before going back to bed.
A few days later we moved to the new headquarters. It was incredible. I saw L smiling at me and I took his hand.
"This is incredible."
"I'm glad you approve."
He kissed my cheek and that was how it started. Now I was sitting with Matsuda and Yagami-san as my husband was forced to go on a date.
"I imagine this is quite difficult for you Nyamo-san." Yagami-san said.
"You've go no idea." I grumbled.
"Good day."
We all turned and my eyebrows shot up. Aizawa was walking towards us with no pants.
"Um…Aizawa-san…"
"Please don't ask."
"What's happened to your forehead?" Yagami-san asked him.
"OH this? Well I had a fight with my wife. My kid's still young so it looks like I'm going to have to commute here."
"Yes, it'd be better for you to go home."
"What a waste, the rooms here are incredible. I hear Nyamo and Ryuuzaki's is the best. You should just move in yourself with the family and all." Matsuda said.
I smirked.
"Don't treat me like I'm a single easy-going guy like yourself."
He then looked around.
"Where's Ryuuzaki?"
I growled and laid my head on the desk.
"A date. He's gone on a date with Light-kun in Misa-Misa's room."
"Ooh. Are you alright Nyamo-san?"
I just grumbled sat up.
"If I thought my husband would chain himself to another man, I probably would have just laughed. Now that it's happening I hate it."
Matsuda brought them up on surveillance. L sat there calmly eating cake. I smiled because I still thought the way he sat was adorable.
Lawliet's POV
Oh I wish Nyamo was here.
"You know, for me this just isn't feeling like a date." Amane said.
"Please don't mind me. Anyway, aren't you going to eat that cake?" I asked.
"Sweet things make you fight, so I avoid them." She said.
"As long as you use your brain, even if you eat sweets, you won't get fat." I said.
Now she got angry.
"Ah! You're making fun of Misa again!?" She leaned forward. "Fine, how about I give you the cake if you leave me and Light alone?"
"If I leave you alone, I'd still be watching you on the surveillance cameras: it'll still be the same."
"Pervert! Will you just quite with all this tasteless stuff already!"
I got up and put my foot on the table.
"Whatever you say, I'm still taking your cake."
"That's okay. We'll just close the curtains and turn off the lights." she said.
Nyamo must love watching this.
"The cameras detect infrared as well." I said.
"More importantly, despite moving into this headquarters filled with equipment. Ryuuzaki, you seem to lack motivation to do anything."
"Motivation? I don't have any. To be honest I'm pretty depressed."
"Depressed?" Light asked.
"Because I've always thought that Light-kun was Kira. The idea that this theory may be wrong has come as quite a shock. Still I have my suspicions…hence the reason for these."
I held up the arm that was handcuffed.
"But then again, Kira can manipulate people's actions. In other words, Kira was manipulating you in such a way that I would suspect you…both Light-kun and Misa-san were being manipulated by Kira. If you think about it this way it does seem to make sense…"
Light looked at me and I ate more cake.
"By that reasoning, even though Misa and I were being manipulated, we were still Kira."
"Yes. There's no doubt about it. You're both Kira. According to my theory Light-kun was Kira when I imprisoned him. And from that moment criminals stopped dying. Till then the theory, 'Light-kun is Kira' still worked. Yet two weeks later criminals started dying again. So from here we move to the next assumption…Kira's powers can be passed from person to person." I explained.
"That's an interesting theory, but if that's the case then catching Kira will be no small feat."
"Yeah, that's why I'm stumped. Even if we catch those being manipulated, their power will just pass to someone else and no memory will remain. No matter how many people we manage to catch, it'll be pointless."
"But none of this has been confirmed yet. Try and rouse some motivation."
I looked at him.
"Motivation? I don't have much. In fact it's probably better if we don't try too hard. If we chase them too desperately, we'll only be putting our own lives at risk…don't you agree?"
I heard him stand up.
"Ryuuzaki…"
I looked at him, only for him to punch me in the face. I went flying backwards into the wall. I slowly sat up and looked at him.
"That hurt."
"Don't fuck with me! You have no motivation because your little theory about me being Kira was wrong!?"
The phone started to ring but we ignored it.
"Perhaps I phrased that badly. I meant that making the first move might work against us so-"
"How're we supposed to catch them if we don't even chase them!? How many innocent people do you think have already been embroiled in this?"
He came forward and lifted me by my shirt.
"Besides, weren't you the one who imprisoned Misa and myself!?"
"I know…"
The door was slammed open and he dropped me. Nyamo stood there with hate and rage in her eyes.
"Nyamo-"
She walked forward and grabbed Light.
"How. Dare. You!" She thundered.
If I don't do something he'll have broken limbs.
I stood up and pushed Nyamo away. Then I quickly kicked Light in the face.
"An eye for an eye my friend."
I failed to take into account the handcuffs and when he flew backwards I fell forward. We landed on the couch and it fell back.
I slowly got up and looked at him.
"It's not that my theory was wrong, merely that 'Yagami Light is Kira' and 'Amane Misa is the second Kira' weren't enough to solve the case. That's why I'm depressed. Is it so wrong for a human to feel this way?"
"I'd say it's wrong. The way you're talking, it sounds like you won't be satisfied unless I am Kira."
I stood up a bit.
"I'm not satisfied until Light-kun is Kira? You could be right…I've only just realized…I wanted you to be Kira." I said.
He hit me again.
"Remember: an eye for an eye. I'm fairly strong you know."
I kicked him again but he came back at me. Nyamo grabbed the chain and yanked him to the ground. She brought his arm behind his back and then phone rang again. I knew I'd better answer it this time.
