Reiko. You know what you have to do…" Kuri whispered, as she tossed some vervain into the bowl with a loud BANG.

"Must I do this? I could be killed!" Reiko hissed.

"If you do not, we will both face worth than death." Kuri said, taking out the athame.

"I…know that." Reiko sighed. "I will do it. I'll get the sword for them. You…" she looked in her little sister's eyes. "Take care of yourself."

Kuri gave her a small smile. "Don't worry. I know this man won't let me down. He's my favorite letter after all."

"Your gonna piss off Death, yknow?"

Kuri laughed and let her blood spill into the bowl. "I fear she will always be angry with me."

"maleficarum potestas in caelo surgunt invisibilis sanguis sanguinis mei te voco, sanguis sanguinis mei reditus"

Poof!

Xxx

Kuri looked up at the impressive stronghold.

"Is this really where you want me, Watari?" She looked down at her pricked finger, then tapped on the camera.

"Oi. This is T. Let me in already, Wata—"

"Watari is not here. Go home." Snapped a synthetic voice.

"Listen you," Kuri growled. "Operation Tsukikami is compromised. Unless you want innocent people to suffer and die, you'll let me in, L Law—"

Smack! A hand was on her mouth. "Shut your mouth."

Kuri grinned. "I knew it was you. Hey, did you like my desserts?"

L let her go. "What?"

"I always gave Watachi some of whatever I baked that day, and he would try it, and if it was good, he'd take some with him; but I always knew it was for his favorite son!"

"Ah. So that was you." L relaxed. "Yes, it was delicious. I'd very much like more. Get inside, please."

"Not without speaking to Watachi. Call him."

L slumped a bit. "He died."

Kuri gasped. "I might've known…Kira did it, ne?"

"No. I did."

Kuri looked in his eyes. "Watachi wouldn't see it that way. He always knew he would die for the sake of Justice." She looked up at the sky. "Watachi, 'have you touched the light of the faraway star'?"

L smiled sadly. "'No, I have become enamored with the morning moon.'"

Kuri grinned and suddenly kissed him. "The real L." She stroked his cheek and danced off.

L touched his lips. "I could fall for you, you know?"
