Chapter 38: Jealous

"Come on you two lovebirds!" Matsuda said with a cheerful grin as he caught me and L still in the middle of our hug; L must have given him a look because Matsuda ran over to join Light who was standing in front of the story watching the scene of our emotions from afar but not able to catch a single word.

Smiling to myself I snuggled deeper into L's shirt before pulling back slightly allowing my eyes to look at his face; L's eyes were closed but as soon as my gaze licked over his face was when he finally opened his eyes; which met mine voluntarily.

"Yeah….I think we should get to the broadcast…." I sat taking one final deep breath of his scent before pulling completely away; the warmth disappeared quickly but reappeared when I grasped his hand and pulled him along behind me.

A tiny grin flew to my lips as his hand squeezed mine kindly. "He's my friend now."

Light's lips pressed together in a straight line as he watched Hail throw her body at L and hug him to her chest like he was the last sweet on earth. Growling in frustration he watched unhappily from the sidelines. He could see L's body shift as her grip tightened and heard the light chuckle from her as they continued.

Something in his stomach shifted and began scratching irritably; it was an emotion that Light knew much about yet was surprised that he was having it; a God like him having such feelings was pathetic and low, the feelings of jealousy. Light cursed under his breath when he heard the murmuring from Hail and began to wonder what she was saying; and the way that L looked at her when he pulled back….it was too much for Light. The feelings only grew making Light more mad at himself for caring so much for such a lowly creature that was way below himself.

"Why the hell am I so jealous? I am GOD, not some pathetic human. She'd only betray me..however I am surprised that she hasn't said anything to L about me yet? One word from her and L would jump through hoops for her; I'm sure of it. So why hasn't she said anything? Does that mean; that she really is on my side? Hmmm interesting thought." The jealousy grew but he couldn't stop the smirk that drifted to place itself on his lips from the thought of having Hail on his side; and suddenly the jealousy was gone and filled with a different emotion that did yet didn't shock him.

There was a second after those emotions ran around him that he thought of something. "Hail knows everything about me. She knows who I am and can see Ryuk. And then a person claiming to be the second Kira shows up…..I have a sneaking suspicion that Hail might be...the second Kira."

The tv flashed on with a bright light before shifting to show the man sitting at the table with a piece of paper in his trembling hands. I was leaning against the couch waiting for him to speak, the task force around us watching it intently when I felt a cold hand on my wrist; I turned to see L wrapping his hand around mine and giving a little tug and allowing me to fall onto the couch with him; I chuckled before getting comfortable. I sat next to him with my legs curled under me in a crossed position as normal.

L's hand clutched mine as the man began to speak with a rushed tone that felt extremely uncoordinated in every way.

"We have startling news. reacting to the video cast on Sakura the other day, another Kira has appeared stating he is the real one! This morning at 11, a video was sent to the police headquarters and eight criminals died one from heart attacks every ten minutes, starting at two in the afternoon. And then a demand was made for each television station to broadcast this message from the true Kira. The police have agreed to let us show this video. Was it Kira? Is this also Kira? Lets first watch the message itself." The guy disappeared to show the beautiful sign of Kira yet nothing about Kira was beautiful or even likeable.

"I am Kira." The synthetic voice said in that voice I'd always known as L in the show. "I am the true Kira, and the creator of the video show on Sakura TV is not Kira." My gaze shifted to look at Light who seemed to be in his own little world. "I bet he's thinking of this second Kira…." I rolled my eyes when his gaze returned to me; he smiled at me with this weird creepy grin that made ice shards pierce my heart, there was something in that smile that made me feel like he knew something I didn't as if he was waiting for something to happen; and when Light got like that….I knew he was up to something.

"At this time, I will show leniency to the person who claimed to be me by assuming he did it out of an attempt to help me achieve my goals. However, killing and threatening the lives of innocent police officers goes against my will. It only causes chaos and interferes with my desire for people to understand my purpose. If the person who claimed to be me empathizes with my goals and wishes to assist me, then I ask that he first try to understand my will. If he does not heed my warning and continues to act in this manner, then I will be forced to pass judgment on him." The broadcast ended with a flash as the tv was turned of by the chief.

"Now we wait to see if the second Kira answers…" L mumbled to himself and everyone else as if afraid to break the silence. And I once more felt Light's gaze on mine; that stupid knowing gaze.
