L's head was pounding; when he had woken up he was in his bed with a worried Raito beside him. "Are you alright? What happened?" L was in a daze; his head was still trying to comeback from the dead. He wanted to tell Raito everything that was in his heart. He wished to just let the pain go, and yet he said, "Nothing, Raito-kun."

It was then L had noticed the bags under Raito's eyes. "How long have I been asleep?"

"About two days! Geez don't worry me like that!" Raito was furious. L gave a weak smile. "I worried you?" Raito's face resembled a tomato, "If you do that again I swear I'm going to look like you one day!" Raito pointed to his sleepless eyes. L giggled, Raito had never heard L giggle. "Hey." L's face was a centimeter away from Raito's.

"Sleep with me." If possible Raito's face got redder. "W-what!?" L sat up straight. "If you don't want to look like me than sleep with me."

"Huh?" L pointed to the bed. "What were you thinking Raito-kun?"

Raito's thoughts weren't exactly what you would call pure. "N-nothing!" Raito grabbed his pajamas and changed in the bathroom. When Raito came out the bed was looking sooo inviting, especially with a smiling L. "Here." L patted the bed.

Raito could feel the warmth of L next to him. "Sleep." It was more like an order to Raito. Raito faced L with a serious face. "I don't think I can." L sat up knowing the feeling of not being able to sleep. "Me too I already got enough sleep. Plus we have wasted time on trying to catch Kira. I'm sorry Raito-kun." Raito couldn't believe what L had just said. "You idiot you have worked so hard just to help us and your saying your sorry?"

L turned away from Raito. L couldn't look at his face; he looked too beautiful bathed in the moon light. "Hey light…" L's voice was in a whisper. "Yes?"

"Can you kiss me again?" L turned around to see Raito's face. "I want to know something Raito. If you were Kira would you love me?" A knot had been tied tight in Raito's throat. L had asked him a deep question that only his heart could hear.

He loved L; he didn't know how or why it happened. It just had happened. Those times when revolutionizing the world was the most important thing to him, those times had died when he met L. When he found someone that could match his level he realized that there were other things to the detective. Although it wasn't just that, there was a special language between them that no one else knew.

Before he had realized it he was able to see a side of L that no one else but him could see. L was like a two sided mask, one side held fake happiness the mask L had shown to everyone. Then there was the other side, the one other side that was full of loneliness and need of comfort. Raito knew L put a shield up so that no one could get close to his heart. He had done the same thing too; he himself put a barrier to keep people away. His relationships in the past were counterfeit too. He only got benefits from them.

As Kira he would of said no and hit Ryuuzaki for even asking him a question like that. But he wasn't Kira anymore. He didn't want to be Kira anymore! He had found a different reason to live his life. If he wasn't Kira they wouldn't be rivals! He and L wouldn't be on the opposite sides of the chess board. Sadly he was, they were opponents that fate had decided to play with! This wasn't fair! This wasn't what he wanted.

"L if I was Kira I wouldn't deserve you. We are rivals L. I'm not allowed to fall in love with someone like you. I don't deserve that kind of love….yet….I…if I wasn't Kira then maybe things could have been different between us."

"Are you saying you are Kira?" Big black orbs were asking for the truth.

The knot in his throat burned with pain. "Yes….I… wish it wasn't this way. I cant take this any more…I cant reject it anymore! I'm just what you call a demon, a murderer! I don't deserv-''

L jumped on top of Raito and held his hands above his head. Raito's face had been tear stained. "I-I see your going to arrest me now aren't you?"

L smiled, "Nope!" Soft lips connected between them.

L took a breath, "I'm so happy… that you told me the truth." With a burst of passion their lips connected once again. It wasn't like a sappy chick flick kiss. It was real, it was true.

"However do you mind telling me why you had started all this? Why did you become Kira?"

Raito took a deep breath; he knew his explanation was going to take a while.

In a close by building Misa had been modeling another gothic Lolita costume. Black frills and everything. Lately the trend these days were to look seductive yet innocent to the eyes of the beholder. Misa had noticed that no matter what D wore it always looked well on him. You could make him look like a nerd but he would still make you drool with his intellect. Now when he put on a cowboy costume….all the females excluding Misa would wish to go buck wild with him. Now when he put on a suit it felt like he was going to get kidnapped by any of the females. Maybe to have their way with him when they had him in their captivity. Heck even guys were looking at his ass. Which D didn't mind at all.

L gave no response to Raito's story. Raito seemed to have trouble explaining when it came to their rivalry. It was a seduction game that Raito and he lost. From the very beginning of his story Raito's depressed face upset L. "I couldn't accept this world, especially when there was murder and chaos in the streets." His voice held anger mixed with grief. He had even told him about Ryuuk. He let him hold a piece of paper from the death note and L was able to see the jolly death god. Although Ryuuk was disappointed since Raito's plans were useless now. He really had fun with their rivalry.

At the studio, D was completely bored out of his head; modeling was like a second nature to him. His human stomach reminded him that he hadn't eaten in a while. He tapped Misa on the shoulder. "Is there a kitchen around here?" Misa showed him the huge kitchen. D opened the fridge and began gathering ingredients. "How about we call your boyfriend so he can get something in his stomach?"

Misa cheered at the idea, "That sounds good, wait can you cook?"

D forced a smile, "A little you guys can be my tasted testers."

Misa grabbed her cell to call her one and only boyfriend.
