FigureInTheShadows-hm, this is an interesting story... And it's getting quite a bit of attention, with over 100 reviews.

Nine chapters in about 13 days. That's quite fast. Especially since you're working multiple cases at once and are a very busy person, or so you've said. You have a lot of reviewers; Are you really putting that much time out of your busy schedule to answer all of them? Or are you just not as busy as you say you are?

I've wondered, why are you answering our questions this way? There IS a reply button that only the author can use. And if we had more questions after, we could've just left you a private message. Did you intend to have your conversations with every person who reviews out for all who find this fiction to see? If so, why?

I also can't help but feel that there's much more to this fiction than meets the eye. Are you by any chance weaving some sort of Puzzle for us to solve?

I'd like for you to know that I have an ally watching your story as well as I. L, can you find out who it is?

Dear FigureInTheShadows,

I am busy. However, I take at least a few minutes to answer questions as this is another case. After I have solved this one, I will no longer answer questions. There are very few details I can leave you. I cannot tell you the reasons for my coming here and answering questions as it pertains to a case and even that information is very limited. As for this being a puzzle, well, that's for you to find out. And your ally would be Amaya the Winged Fox.

Ice Among Fire-And also, the first few questions that I asked you were merely tests. You failed, MISERABLY. Just thought that I'd let you know...

With all due respect,

British Petroleum

Dear Ice Among Fire,

How have I failed you? You only stated what you think you know. As I have stated before, there is a difference between the 'L' in the book, and the real 'L,' me. In fact, I look similar to the L in the book. We also have many characteristics that are similar. But, I on the other hand am only slightly different. I will not tell you how, but let's just say that there is more to this question/answer story. Let's just see if you can figure it out.

TwilightTarabekah-Hi. I don't have any questions this time. I just wanted to say I've been following the argument you're having with my sister and a few other reviewers.

She's never going to give up, just so you know. I can tell you won't, either...so this is going to be interesting.

Also, I don't expect you to believe me about this, but she's really not involved with Kira or any other criminal.

Dear TwilightTarabekah,

I feel certain that she is not related to the criminal now through some thorough research. And, of course, I am childish so I will not back down either. All though, all she needs to know is that I am still keeping an eye on her as I do with everyone.

IAMReapercon-hiding imformation both makes me suspect you more and less if you are a fake the act is very well played,

was there ever a time that you didnt suspect yagami light

R

The only time that I didn't suspect Light Kun was when I didn't know him. As soon as I heard about him, I started to suspect him.

Haku'sBest13-Something I forgot in my last review, I wanted to know if you did anything with your hair to make it look so cool! Okie dokie, cya L!!

Dear Haku'sBest13,

It just sticks up naturally. I really don't do anything to it.

Ice Among Fire--glares- You just made several grammatical mistakes AGAIN. And I don't care if you're working on other cases. It would probably, if you were L, only a few seconds just to scan over it. And if you are having Watari fix anything, he's not doing a very good job. And about the creators of Death Note basing their ideas for 'L' off of you, haven't you ever heard of an creative imagination?! People can make characters without having to base it off of someone they saw, you know. And if you were real, why would you let them use you and your name in a plot that would be issued to billions of people nationwide? A very idiotic move, wouldn't you think? I did not mean to assume, oh-so-great detective. It was more of an educational guess, as my teacher would say. PROVE to me that you are who you claim to be. I am not convinced AT ALL. Lucky for you though, all the rest of these reviewers besides a few are severely gullible. And thank you,Amaya the Winged Fox. I appreciate it.

With all due respect,

British Petroleum (see profile)

Dear Ice Among Fire,

I know that there are people with very creative imaginations. But the facts remain the same. If you do not wish to believe it, then I really don't care. You can see me however you wish. All I am saying is that you need to, at the very least, really think about what may inspire people to write something. And also, do not always assume that you are right. Because as the old saying goes, "To assume makes an ass out of you and me." And I would not put down any of the reviewers here. For all you know, they may very well live next door to you. Just as a word of precaution. And I am not happy about them using my name, but seeing as how people react to the name being real it isn't much of a threat to me. Besides, no one knows where I am.

Haku'sBest13-This person you're looking for... Is it a male or a female?

Dear Haku'sBest13,

Female.

Kit-Kat Punk-loverAloha L! I would offer you cake and muffins but you don't accept them right! Get Watari to get you some on me :D O.k. be warned I am a very crazy fangirl so these questions make scare you a little:
1. Are you freaked out by the alarming number of B/L yaoi fangirls?
2. Are you freaked out cause i'm one of them :D
3. If you had to choose between living in candyland or staying a detective which would you choose?
4. Are ya ever gonna get married and if so what would you like her/him to look like?
5. How many books do you think you've read (If you don't know then guess)
6. Can I have a HUG! Puppy-Dog Eyes

Dear Kit-Kat Punk-lover,

1. Not really. And to be quite honest, I don't care.

2. No.

3. I would stay as a detective. I want justice to prevail, and nothing will stop me from letting that happen.

4. I do not think so. My job is dangerous, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

5. Quite a few. Over 1,267.50 to be exact.

6. Yes you may.

Animelover1002-Are you looking for Kira on here?...He proabably has a fanfiction account,just a bout everyone does!

Sayonara,L-san!

Dear Animelover1002,

No I am not looking for Kira.

Halibel Lecter-G'evening, Lawliet-dono, and thank you for answering my questions earlier. Ah, excuse me for just one second...
TwilightNatalia: Just because you're ticked off at L for being real, that is no reason to call those who believe him "fools". We just have more faith than you, and are less jaded and pessimistic. Try eating more sugar. Honestly, such insolence to a great mind. If not for my duties in Las Noches, why, I'd--ahem. Never mind.
Back to the questions I wanted to ask you...
1. What, in your opinion, is the easiest way to learn a new language? I figure you'd know. What language was easiest for you to learn, and what did you grow up speaking?
2. Do you know of/like Encyclopedia Brown and other such mysteries? Mary Higgins Clark? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)? Matlock? ...Sorry, had to ask.
3. After considering carefully both Death Note and Bleach...define "shinigami"?
Thank you!

Dear Halibel Lecter,

1. I grew up speaking English. And I'd have to say that if you read and try to learn by hearing a different language is easier. The easiest language I ever learned was Japanese.

2. Yes, I know all of them.

3. Shinigami are Death Gods. From what I know, they are lazy and seem to be a bit dull.

michi-nin-Wow, you kind of epically failed my other question... sucks for you. That and the fact that you ignored my first one, so I'll ask it again. Is there anything you can do to prove to me that you are indeed L? Also, I'm not going to ask why you are doing this, but rather what do you get out of answering all of these questions? That is all.

Dear michi-nin,

All I have to say is that there are two different "L's" in this world. There is the fictitional one, and then there is me. The L in the book only resembles me in looks and characteristics by at least eighty seven percent. By answering questions allows me to get to know your personality more. If that makes sense to you. I can see if there are any patterns of emotions or ideas in the questions.

Sakura910-Hello L.

I came up with some ideas regarding your crush(who may or may not be the person that you're looking for, doubtful though you could simply search this person's name if you wanted to find them but it's still a possibility) and in regards to Hellsing does it have anything to do with the characters Seras or Integra? They are both from England and that is where Wammy's house is. It's just a thought. By the way I like the anime but I'm not an avid fan, I just know a few characters.

In regards to your username, well does it have something to do with why the Hellsing are there and if it does is it because Hellsing is about vampires and they are 'undead' and so are you a voice amoungst the undead because you like someone from Hellsing? I apoligize for the skewed logic.

Arigatou Gozaimasu,
Sakura910

Dear Sakura910,

Very good observation. There is a name in the stories that hold a meaning. My name does not pertain to Hellsing. I have answered that question before. There is just a different reason for my pen name, even though this was a good guess, it isn't the answer. But there is a connection in the Hellsing stories. And do not apologize for logic for yours is very good.

Mary Magdalena-Hello, me again. I felt you didn't answer my questions thoroughly enough, but ohwell, no real harm done. It must be very tiring to have to answer all these inquiries.

Forgive me for my doubts, but I'm beginning to feel this whole "Ask L" charade is pointless. Everything that people really want to know about you is classified. This taken into account, why do this at all?

Also, I can hardly imagine that you will find this obscure, elusive woman on a fan fiction archive, but I hope you do.

In the event that you find her, will you tell us that you did?

I was also wondering if you could get a hold of Mello to ask him a question. I want to know what his favorite holiday is.

Thanks again, M. M.

Dear Mary Magdalena,

Only certain questions are classified. Although I feel as though I have been giving far too much information, I will try to give more information to you from now on. And Mello's favorite holiday is Halloween.

LizluvsSpongebob-What?! No more hugs?!
cries uncontrollaby

Dear LizluvsSpongebob,

You can have a hug this time. But please hug me occassionally. I find it annoying if people keep sending me hugs every time I answer something.

-Another Note-

You may find my crush's name in the book 'Dracula' by Brom Stoker.
