Bullshit.

I have never loved myself.

But you

Oh god, I loved you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like."

Chapter 13 : Misa Never Lies

March 12, 2004

"Could you please drive a bit faster, Watari?" L asked from the back seat, trying not to sound as on edge as he felt.

"I'm sorry, L. If I drive any faster, I will attract the attention of local law enforcement. We should arrive soon." Watari replied.

L bit down on his thumb as he tried to will himself to relax. His heart rate had increased and his breathing was almost reaching the point of hyperventilation.

"Miss Misora said that she made it back home safely. There were no injuries on her person." Watari stated, trying to soothe L's worries.

"Yes, yes." L inhaled for four seconds, held it for four seconds, and then exhaled for four seconds. He needed to calm down.

These last two months L had worked himself like crazy. Following Kira suspects around in the morning and trying to provoke them, working with the task force from the afternoon to early evening, and meeting with Naomi and Misa at night. He had various members of the task force introduce themselves to suspects as L and none of them had the reaction he expected Kira to have, and he was waiting to introduce himself as L to Yagami Light until the entrance ceremony for the younger man's college.

L had gone to the entrance exams every day and sat behind the teenager. The moment their eyes met, L was certain he'd found his true opponent, but he had to be thorough in ruling out all other suspects. Chief Yagami had been a competent ally thus far, and L didn't want to cause the man to distrust him by aggressively pursuing his son until it was obvious that he was the only option left of the original list of suspects.

Misa had snuck her way into the college entrance exams as well with a black wig and glasses. While L stood out like a sore thumb, Misa actually fit in pretty well and he didn't notice her immediately on the first day. She was going by another name too, Kyoko, and made friends with various people after the exams. Luckily, she didn't know that Light was his main suspect, and never directly approached the teenager. Even more lucky, Light never approached her either, and L didn't have to worry about her putting herself in danger… as much.

L followed other suspects around as well, and while he followed them, Misa continued to follow him. On more than one occasion he had caught her in various disguises sitting in a nearby coffee shop or pretending to read a newspaper on a bench. Misa had shown him multiple times that she couldn't be controlled, and she would do whatever she wanted to look after him in her sudden new protective streak. In turn, much of his focus was captured by her instead of the suspects he was following. He never was able to follow anyone for very long, he would get too anxious about the possibility of something happening to Misa and turn back around just to lead her away. He knew that no one had as high a chance of being Kira as Yagami Light, and yet still he found himself irrationally worried.

As the task force got used to his erratic movements, he started meeting Misa and Naomi in person more frequently, and more than once he slept over at their apartment when exhaustion finally caught up to him. He always fell asleep in Misa's room and woke up to her getting ready for work, or for another day of following him around. Some days he woke up wishing he could drag her back into the bed with him and pretend that the Kira case wasn't a thing. That he could just stay in bed with his girlfriend all day and let the rest of the world disappear. They were silly wishes that would never come true.

In the past couple of months, Misa had also become more exploratory with him, wanting to try out new things whenever he spent the night. She would roam her hands down his sides to stir him up and then ask if he would let her use a sex toy on him or ask him to use a sex toy on her. They even experimented with food once, but it was very sticky, and Misa didn't like dealing with the clean up afterwards. She was getting closer and closer to asking him to have penetrative sex with her, but she held off for reasons he didn't know. Perhaps she thought they were moving too fast? Whatever her reason, he didn't mind, he would move at her pace. Though he bought a pack of condoms just in case.

She still had her regular work routine of course. She was still a model and she went to her photoshoots and commercials on her regular workdays, only following him on her breaks or when she had the day off. She had a world outside of him, so of course something bad had to happen when he couldn't see her.

Now, he was restless. By the time he had found out what happened, it was already over and she was safe, but anxiety coursed through him and he would not be settled until he saw her. He left work early that day and immediately rushed to her apartment. He had become completely useless the moment he realized he could've lost her.

It dawned on him then, something he had tried to deny and fight back. He hadn't wanted to admit it because recognizing that it was true, putting the words out there, would prevent him from going back. He would never be able to handle losing her if he admitted it, so he tried to push these feelings away and ignore them. He had tried to push her away so many times, but she kept coming back.

And he found that he could no longer remain in denial.

The truth was that he was completely, hopelessly in love with Amane Misa.

"L, we're here." Watari announced.

L had jumped out the door immediately, running to see her as soon as possible. He couldn't calm down until he saw her. He needed to see her. He needed to know she was okay. He banged on the door, ready to knock Naomi out of his way if he had to.

He didn't because she was there. His beautiful girl was right there, standing before him teary eyed, but otherwise unharmed and he rushed in to hold her immediately. Only once she was in his arms returning his hug was he truly able to breathe again.

"I'm okay. It was kinda s-scary, but I didn't see anyone else around. I p-pressed the b-belt twice, but by that point he was already on the ground d-dead. I didn't see anyone, I didn't see-" She stuttered as she held on to him.

"Shh, it's okay. We can talk about it later. Let's go inside." He rubbed soothing circles on her back before pulling away and leading her into her apartment. As she sat down on the couch, he went into the kitchen to brew some tea, and returned with a glass of water in the meantime.

"I really don't understand how it happened. I don't think I've ever met the man before, but all of a sudden he was saying he loved me. He asked me to marry him and I said no and then he pulled out a knife and told me he'd kill me if I didn't accept him. I pressed the belt immediately and started backing away, and then he was having a heart attack. I looked around and no one else was in that alley. Was Kira watching me? Did he figure out who I was? I thought my disguises were really good." She rambled on as he sat next to her, finally pausing to look at him for confirmation.

"Your disguises were good. I think it is unlikely that any of the people we followed deduced that you are Amane Misa. At most, they might have noticed a strange man following them and an even stranger woman following him." L responded, hoping he might make her laugh.

She exhaled out of her nose, which was close enough, before she continued on. "Do you think Kira was there? I didn't see anybody. But do you think he was watching?"

He had to give her a real answer or she wouldn't let this go. "There is a small possibility that Kira is a fan of yours and killed the stalker to save your life. There is also the possibility that your stalker was a petty criminal who may have done this sort of thing before, and so Kira killed him and it just happened to be when he was about to attack you." The second option wasn't as likely, but she didn't need to know that.

"I don't want a mass murderer to be obsessed with me." Misa said as her face scrunched up.

Just then, the kettle started whistling, and L went to pour her a cup of chamomile, adding some honey to sweeten the taste. He returned with the mug and sat back down beside her, wrapping an arm around her as he handed her the mug.

"We will look for any footage of the situation tomorrow and see if anyone else witnessed the event. For now, drink your tea and then get some rest. Everything will be okay." L comforted.

"Thank you for being here. Will you stay with me tonight?" She asked, looking a little fearful of rejection. How could he possibly say no?

"I'll stay the night." He agreed.

As she went into her bedroom to change into her pajamas, he went back out to tell Watari to have the task force look for footage of the event and that he would return to work on his own in the morning. He also wanted to know exactly where Yagami Light was at that time and if the teenager had any magazines or other collectibles to indicate that he was a fan of Misa's. Watari had given him a small smile, agreeing to his charge's demands, and telling him to let Misa know he wishes her well before he took off.

When L re-entered the apartment, he ran into Naomi.

"Do you think it was Kira?" She asked immediately.

"I'm not sure. It's not unlikely."

"And what will we do if it was?" She interrogated him further.

"I will get Misa a bodyguard. Or I'll keep her hidden away in a hotel. I'll change her name." L rambled off ideas, and then shook his head. "I'm sorry, I'm not thinking very clearly right now. I'll have a better idea in the morning."

Naomi nodded. "I understand, I didn't know what to do after Raye… Just, be there for her and tell her how much she means to you."

Naomi retreated to her own room and L continued to stand there, wondering how obvious his feelings were to the others. Watari had caught on long ago, Aiber as well, and maybe even Wedy. He needed to get a better handle of himself; when he met with Kira, he didn't want there to be any chance of his opponent realizing his feelings for the blonde.

He could turn around and call Watari back. He could leave right now and cut all ties with her. It wouldn't be easy. In fact, it would be the hardest thing he ever had to do, but he could do it. If he didn't turn back now, there was no going back. He would never be able to leave her and if something else happened and he lost her, it would utterly destroy him.

"L, are you coming?" She asked as she peeked through her door.

And there was no other choice. "Yes, Misa."

As they climbed into her bed, he wrapped his arm around her and rubbed circles into her arm as she held onto him. She felt so warm against him, so soft. He wanted to hold her forever and never let go. A selfish, stupid part of him wanted to run away with her now and ensure no danger would ever come to her. He wanted to abandon everything just for her, but he couldn't do that. He was L.

She buried her face in his chest and murmured, "I love you, L," as she slowly began to drift off to sleep. And his emotions came over him so strongly, he felt like he was drowning in them. He needed to get the words out, but he was afraid, so afraid. He'd never said those words to anyone before and he was worried that admitting this to her would doom him to have his heart broken.

So he said nothing and held her tightly to him instead.

He could always tell her directly another day.

March 13, 2004

When he awoke the next morning, their eyes met first and then they collided. He didn't know who reached for who first. He didn't know what time it was or even fully remember where he was. All he knew was that they were suddenly holding each other and kissing like their lives depended on it and nothing else mattered.

Misa fell onto her back and took him with her, their lips still connected as he carefully climbed on top of her and planted a hand down on each side of her face. His fingers dug into the pillow under her as his tongue entered her mouth. She reached up and clung to his back, digging her nails in slightly, as he began to trail kisses down her neck and feverishly suck at her skin.

Soon, she was pulling at his shirt and he quickly removed it before returning to kissing down her neck, pushing her nightgown down to expose more of her soft, creamy skin. He kissed and sucked and left small bruises along her neck and collarbone, desperate to have as much of her as possible. She whimpered underneath him, bucking up against his thigh, needing friction to soothe the ache inside.

He removed her nightgown at last, kissing down her stomach all the way to her panties. When she nodded excitedly, he removed her panties and trailed his tongue along her clit and labia. Her hands found his hair, tugging him down to her, and his lips captured her clit as he gently pushed a finger inside of her. He sucked her softly as he slowly fingered her, causing her to rock up into him and moan.

"Please, L. More." She whimpered.

He added another finger and quickened his pace just a bit as he continued to suck on her clit. She was bucking up into his hand faster now and pulling at his hair, and it stung, but it also felt so good. He groaned in response and she whimpered at the vibrations. "Please. More. I want- I want more."

Her breathless little whimpers and moans were getting to him, he'd never been so turned on in his whole life, and he reached one of his hands down to push his boxers aside and began to pump his cock. He added in a third finger, careful in his stretching of her, and moaning around her clit just the way she loved. She rocked into his hand and pulled at his hair some more, so he sucked harshly and let the flat of his tongue press up against her.

"L… I want to- Can we-?" She begged as she bucked up into his hand, cutting herself off with quiet, little moans.

He slowly pulled his head away from her and she moaned at the loss, but he continued to thrust his fingers into her as he questioned, "What do you want, Misa?" He wanted to hear her say it. He wanted to be sure it was exactly what she wanted.

"I want- mmm- I want to have sex." She moaned. He smiled down at her and kissed her softly on the lips before pulling away again.

"Are you sure? Are you ready?" He asked. He continued stretching her with his fingers, wanting to be extra careful and make sure he didn't hurt her. She whimpered and continued to buck her hips up at the sensation.

She nodded as she whispered, "Yes, yes, please."

"How should we do it? If we are in a spooning position, I won't get as deep and it might be more comfortable for you, but if you are on top you will have more control. What do you want?"

Misa giggled breathlessly as she reached for him, pulling him down into another heated kiss. "You're so sweet. You think of everything."

"I just want to make you feel good." He stared into her eyes with an intensity which he hoped conveyed all the things he couldn't say out loud. He cared about her, he cared about her so much and he hoped she knew that.

"Let's try the spooning position." Misa finally answered, kissing him once more before letting go and letting him position them.

After placing his condom and lube on, L laid down behind her and kissed her shoulder as he lined himself up with her entrance. "Tell me if it hurts."

He held onto her waist as he slowly pushed inside, burying his face in her hair as the overwhelming sensation of warmth and wetness and tightness overcame him. He had never done this with a woman before and already it felt too incredible to describe in words. He breathed heavily through his nose as he paused, waiting for any sign that he should stop or keep going from Misa.

"It's- good. You- you can move." She breathed out. L began to slowly rock back and forth inside her, allowing her to adjust to the feeling. She reached behind her to tangle her fingers in his hair, tugging slightly before turning her head for a kiss.

He captured her lips and kissed her passionately as he continued to lazily thrust inside her, eventually reaching his hand down to lightly massage her clit. She whimpered against him, "Faster," and he picked up the pace as he continued to kiss her. He rubbed at her clit just a little faster as he thrust in and out of her at the same speed, slowly losing himself to the sensations.

The sound of skin slapping against skin could be heard and everything was so wet down there that he slipped out a few times, but it felt amazing. He could feel Misa trying to match his movements and he moaned against her mouth as she thrust backwards into him. He could tell he wasn't going to last much longer, but he wanted to please her first.

He trailed his lips down to her neck and sucked harshly as he massaged and pinched at her clit, making her moan loudly and clench down around him, and then he was losing himself inside her. He buried his face in her neck as he whimpered loudly, coming and thrusting and coming and thrusting. It was the most incredible feeling in the world.

When he was finally able to catch his breath again, he asked, "Did you cum too?"

"No," she admitted, "But it did feel really good."

He slipped out of her and climbed on top of her again before kissing her. "Do you want me to…"

"No, not right now. It was very intense, ya know? But good intense." She kissed him again and then trailed her lips down his neck before adding, "It kinda feels like you're still inside me now."

"And it feels good?" He asked, needing to be reassured.

"It feels really good." She smiled. "Will you cuddle me awhile longer?"

L fell back beside her and drew her into his arms. He'd hold her for as long as she wanted.

.

When they finally did get up for real, they took a shower together, kissing each other softly as they carefully washed each other's bodies. He got dressed in the clothes he wore the day before and she put on a simple t-shirt and jeans, opting for a more casual look. They brushed their teeth together and she tried to attack his hair with a hairbrush, but he resisted. Everything felt so domestic and it felt so right, it scared him.

They entered the living room where Naomi was already waiting with coffee, surely ready to dive into how they would protect Misa from now on. L grabbed a cup before sitting on the couch in his usual position, trying to readjust his thoughts and think of Misa as a client rather than his beautiful girlfriend.

"So, what's the plan?" Naomi asked, jumping straight to the point.

"I'm having Watari look into whether or not any of the suspects are fans of Misa. The task force should have gathered footage and witness testimony by now, which I will personally attend to." L placed his thumb at his lip as he thought for a moment. He needed to protect Misa, but if he overdid it, she would rebel against him. "Naomi, you should act as Misa's bodyguard in the meantime. Please follow her in her day to day tasks."

"Understood." The former FBI agent agreed.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't I get a say in this?" Misa pouted. He knew she'd fight back some, but he figured she was comfortable enough with Naomi not to mind so much.

"You like spending time with Naomi. You'll just spend more time with her." L justified.

"Yeah, but what about her living her own life? We don't even know if it was really Kira. I don't want to be a burden."

"Misa, I would feel better if I got to look out for you. You would be doing me a favor by accepting me as your bodyguard." Naomi cut in. L was thankful that the woman cared so much about Misa. He would have entrusted this task to Watari if he wasn't busy doing other things, but Naomi was a good backup, she had enough of L's trust to where he wouldn't worry as much.

"I mean, I guess, if you say so Naomi, but I really don't want it to be such a big deal." Misa shyly tucked her hair behind her ear. Maybe putting too much protection would only serve to make her more anxious. He just wouldn't tell her about any other protective measures he took.

"I'll be back tonight to report what I learn from the task force." L said as he slowly stood up. When Misa reached up for him, he bent down and kissed her softly on the lips, making her blush and forget whatever it was she was about to say. The sudden display of affection in front of someone else caught her off guard just as he hoped.

He gave Naomi a brief look before making his way out the door. He stood on the edge of the apartment building and waited for ten minutes before she came down to speak with him.

"So, I'm guessing there's more?" Naomi asked when she finally reached him.

"I'm going to tell you who my prime suspect is. I do not want you to approach them, I'll be approaching them myself soon. My goal in telling you this is I want you to keep Misa far, far away from this person. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I can do that." She agreed.

"Yagami Light." L stated simply. Naomi nodded once, and he continued. "I will be going to a college entrance ceremony at the beginning of next month. Do not let Misa follow me."

"You aren't going to run away from her again, are you?" Naomi fixed him with a glare, and he shook his head.

"I will not distance myself from Misa, she would only run after me more. I just want some of my activities to remain secret from her so that she doesn't attempt to get involved. I will actually be visiting more often over the next couple weeks to ensure her safety." L explained. And if Kira was a fan of Misa, L hoped to lure his attention away from her and onto him.

"Okay, I got it. I'll do anything to protect her."

"I know."

.

"Yagami Light did not have any magazines or collectibles of Misa, however, his younger sister has a couple of magazines stored in her room." Watari reported as L entered the hotel that was currently serving as the task force headquarters.

"Has he ever been seen snooping through his sister's things?" L asked.

"Not in any previous footage, no."

L nodded as they slowly approached the room they were staying in. "Did they get any witness testimony? Any footage of the event?"

"There were no witnesses and the only footage showed Misa walking down the street before turning in the alley before shortly being followed by the stalker. No other persons were seen coming near the street until the police arrived." Watari answered.

L chewed on his thumb as he wondered what could have happened. Was it possible that the stalker just randomly died of a heart attack?

As L entered the room, he found Matsuda holding up a magazine of Misa and explaining to Aizawa and Mogi how she was 'the brightest star of our generation.' When Aizawa and Mogi turned to him, Matsuda finally stopped his rant, looking embarrassed in front of his boss.

"Yagami-san, is your son a fan of Misa-Misa's?" L asked coolly.

"What? No, not to my knowledge." Soichiro responded, looking nervous and pained as he always did when L questioned him about his son.

"Ryuzaki, do you think Kira killed Misa-Misa's stalker?" Matsuda cut in.

"Without evidence, we can't be certain, but we should continue to look into the suspects and see if any of them have a connection to Misa." L answered before grabbing his usual spot.

It was going to be another long day of coming up with no answers nor conclusions.

.

March 20, 2004

Over the course of the week, the task force was unable to dig up any connection to Misa among any of the suspects, except the Chief's daughter, which Watari had already informed L of. L even had Chief Yagami dig around Light's room and search for any evidence that his son had messed with his daughter's magazines, but there was nothing. Another dead end in the case. It seemed like nothing would change any time soon and once again L was forced to wait until he could come face to face with his opponent, which the other members of the task force seemed to be slowly warming up to.

When L had Watari drop him off at Misa's apartment that night, he could tell that there was something different in the atmosphere. He had been going straight to her place from work every night for the past week and nothing had changed. Naomi watched over her carefully and all she noticed was the people at work giving Misa more gifts and telling her they were so glad she was okay. No one else made a move on her and she was even allowed to finish work early most days. Everything seemed to be slowly getting back to normal for her, but today felt different. Before he even entered the apartment, L could tell that something was up.

"Hello?" He asked carefully as he knocked on the door. He heard a strange thumping that sounded like people running around and a lot of shushing before Misa finally answered the door. Her hair was a mess compared to its usual pristine display and she looked nervous as she smiled up at him.

"Is everything okay?" He asked as she pulled him inside.

"Of course! Of course! Let's go to my room!" She said excitedly as she pushed him towards her door. She was hiding something, but he didn't know what it was, or why she felt the need to hide it from him, and it immediately put him on edge.

"You seem nervous, are you sure you're okay?" L asked as he sat down on her bed.

"Oh well, I was thinking of something, but I wasn't sure how you would react, so nevermind that. Just forget about it, okay?" She said as she sat down beside him, purposely trying to look more nervous now. What kind of act was she putting on?

"What were you thinking about?"

She blushed bright red and he wasn't so sure it was an act anymore. "Well um, I was thinking like… what if I got a strap-on one day… would that be something you'd be, um, comfortable trying?"

"I'd let you do anything to me." He answered honestly. And the idea of Misa with a strap-on was quite intriguing, if not arousing.

Misa smirked at him as she pushed his legs down to sit on his lap. "Anything, hm? Even right now?"

"Anything."

She may have just been trying to distract him from some bigger issue he had yet to figure out, but in that moment he no longer cared.

.

April 5, 2004

As L quietly followed behind Light and made his way to the stage for the opening ceremony, he spotted a familiar pair of glasses and a wig that immediately made him anxious. Naomi was supposed to keep her away from this, where even was the former FBI agent? But sure enough, Misa was sitting in the front row in her Kyoko disguise, chatting away with a bunch of other students.

When he made his address to the incoming freshman, out of the corner of his eye he noticed Misa staring just above his head. He wasn't quite sure what that meant, but he shook it off and continued on with his plan, he couldn't let his fear of something happening to Misa get in the way of the case. She was perfectly fine; she didn't stand out at all and he'd only draw attention to her by looking at her. Surely Naomi was nearby looking out for her even if she wasn't able to stop her from attending.

L quietly followed Light back down the stairs as he enacted his plan. "Yagami-kun. You're the son of detective superintendent Soichiro Yagami of the NPA. Your respect for your father is matched only by your deep sense of justice. You aim to reach a leadership position in the NPA yourself, and have in the past provided insights that have led to the solution of several cases. And right now, you're showing a great deal of interest in the Kira case. So if you will swear to me that you will not tell anybody, I shall place my faith in your abilities and sense of justice… and tell you something of vital importance regarding the Kira case."

The teenager gave him a strange look before turning back around and replying, "I won't tell anybody. What is it?"*

"I am L."

.

He said all he needed to say and he provoked the reaction he wanted to from Light, so all he needed to do now was keep his enemy close to him and watch out for any moves. It would be much easier to do this if his girlfriend weren't trying to weasel her way into the case.

As L sat in the back of Watari's car, he wondered why Naomi let her come to the event when he explicitly told her not to. Why was Misa staring above his head like that? It also looked like she was staring at Light for a long time before that. Did she realize that Light was his prime suspect? Did Naomi tell her? Maybe he shouldn't have trusted the older woman after all.

After thinking it over a bit longer, he directed Watari to drop him off at the model's apartment once again. He needed answers and he was going to get them. Misa had never been this secretive with him before and he didn't like not knowing what she was up to.

When he knocked on the door, he heard a loud ruckus and someone shouting curses. There was a great deal of commotion and he had to knock again before anyone answered. Finally, Naomi met him at the door and L fixed her with a withering stare.

"Why was Misa at the college entrance ceremony?"

"She already knew what college you were heading to because of the exams you took a few months ago. There was no stopping her." Naomi said casually, as if she hadn't disobeyed a direct order from him.

"Where is she now?" He asked.

"She's in her room, getting dressed."

"So, you don't mind if I come inside to check?"

"I told you she's getting dressed."

"I'm her boyfriend, I've seen her naked plenty of times." L said as he finally pushed past her and looked around. There were a lot of apples in the kitchen, something someone had tried to hide by haphazardly throwing a blanket over it. There was also a mess of papers with random notes written stuffed away under a pillow in the living room, but that was to be examined later.

Before he even opened the door to Misa's room, he knew she wouldn't be in there. He was annoyed when he walked inside and the blonde was no where to be seen, but more than that he was afraid. He was so terribly afraid that she was up to something dangerous and he was already too late to stop her.

Just then, the front door opened and Misa's voice rang through, "Naomi you're never gonna believe this, but Rem was right!"

"Misa, sh! We have a guest!" Naomi whisper-yelled.

Hearing her voice did not ease the sense of doom that L felt deep in the pit of his stomach, and as he stepped outside of her room to question her, he was struck by a nauseating feeling that things were only about to get worse. "Who's Rem?"

"Oh! L! I uh, I didn't know you were coming to visit me today! Let's go into my room!" Misa suggested as she bounced over to him and tugged on his arm. She was still in her little Kyoko outfit, but she had removed her glasses, and her eyes looked all over the place as she tried to drag him away.

"Who's Rem?" He repeated.

"Oh, uh, just some cool girl I met at the college today. Yeah, she's into gothic stuff too, so we're good friends now." Misa said as she once again tried to will L to follow her into her room, but he would not budge.

"Why are you lying to me?"

"Ha, what? I would never lie to you!"

"Exactly," he said as he turned to face her, crouching down to her level to look her directly in the eye, "Misa never lies. So why is she lying to me now?"

As the color drained from Misa's face, L realized the answer to this question was going to change everything between them, and the sense of dread hung over him like a cloud. Yet he continued to press on.

"What's going on? What aren't you telling me?"

Author's Note: *These are the direct lines of their exchange in chapter 19 of the manga

Also, Kyoko is the name of the girl who thought L was attractive in the manga. I always thought she looked a lot like Misa's disguise when she went to see Light at Aoyama in the manga.

That moment when you try to distract your detective boyfriend with sex but he doesn't fall for it.

We all knew it had to come to this eventually, I hope you all won't be mad at Misa! She's only doing what she thinks is right! More will be explained in the next chapter. The next chapter will be a little weird because we'll have to go back in time to cover what Misa was up to during this chapter.

Sorry for the late update, next week I'll return to the regular schedule!

Thanks as always for reading!
