Chapter 8 Salt-kun

The building was reduced completely to rubble. Though only the most hardcore criminals had been inside that particular area—not even guards went there willingly—L was angry that he didn't stop Sugar and Spice from killing people. From killing his brother.

"Sugar-chan," L spoke to the computer. The task force had just been sent home. "Tell me. Why was the demolition of the LA Prison necessary and why I shouldn't arrest Spice-chan right now? Who was your target?"

"Our target was Beyond Birthday." L quickly bowed his head to hide any facial expression that he might accidently make. "I'm sorry L, but if Kira ever even heard a whisper about the mighty L having a brother, B would have been tortured into revealing your true name. I had no other choice."

"How did you find out I had a brother, anyway?"

"Beyond and I were friends, in a way. We met on my first kill and stayed in contact ever since. Sometimes, I'd even sneak him some jam while he was still alive. If it makes you feel better, I killed him in the kindest possible way—a painless poison, injected into the heart."

L looked back up at the computer, now composed. He was slightly surprised. Sugar never killed someone so… gently. It makes sense, since Sugar said they were friends, but she never killed someone any other way than a knife to the throat. It was one of the ways L knew that it was Sugar who had killed, not some copycat. "I rather doubt B would crack under torture, Sugar-chan."

"I agree, but I couldn't take the chance. Now only Watari, you and I know your true name. By the way, your alias isn't very original."

L eyes widened slightly. "How did you learn my name?"

"That's a little secret, Lollipop." She laughed.

Sayu's PoV +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Well, that was entertaining." A voice said behind Sayu. "But did we have to bleach my hair? I look like a freaking albino." She turned to see B, hair now white, slouched behind her.

"Would you rather I let Spice braid white ribbons into your hair?" Sayu took his shudder of horror as a no. "Besides, the color suits your new lifestyle… and contract. Care to remind me what that is?"

"Until the day you capture and kill Kira, I am to serve as your apprentice, helping you deceive to L and kill criminals. When Kira is resting 6 feet under, I am to take your place as the murder while you retire for your own safety."

"Good. Just making sure you haven't forgotten, Salt-kun."

TRICKED YOU! XD YOU THOUGHT I KILLED BB!
