Heh, one review. I'm having a happy moment. –Awkward silence- Okay, anyways, in this chapter, Raito basically talks to…well himself while L is struggling with a lead that could potentially be fatal.
A Warning: Sometimes, I get really bad mood swings. Then I write, and so, sometimes my writing is effected by my mood swings. Sorry if I sound depressed one day and the next day, I'm hugging you. ;D

Raito broke out in a cold sweat. Which was never often by the way, a clear reminder of how "scared" he was. But of course, this is Raito we're talking about, and scared to him has a different meaning.

"L, Raito looks flushed." Matsuda observed. L raised an eyebrow and took a fleeting look.
"He has a fever." L mumbled with cake still in his mouth.
"What?"
"Matsuda, would you be so kind as to fetch a thermometer?" He swallowed the rest of his cake and turned his attention back to the Kira fan sites. His eyes immediately zoomed on to the last sentence in what appeared to be a note, praising Kira and his good deeds: "I know L's real name. I, however, also know who you are, Kira. Find a way to reach me. –Mayagi Taroi"
L loosened the grip on his fork. He fished around for some time in his pants for a cell phone.
"Watari, could you track someone through a fan site? Yes, it's the one I'm looking at. I see it too. Is there any way to trace who wrote that? Oh. Yes, good. Thank you." L snapped his cell phone closed and couldn't help but feel a bit hopeful inside.
"…Kira…Ryuk…dead…those…I…" There was something wrong with Raito but L really couldn't care less. He'd finally found a lead.

"I am Kira." The figure extended a hand; evidently, this guy had no idea there was four inches of glass in their way. Raito splayed his fingers out across the glass and looked carefully at himself.
"I…am Kira. I am you." Raito tried to sound confident. The figure didn't even flinch. Silence. It seemed forever, perhaps "Kira" was thinking. Gravely, he answered: "You may be me, but you are not Kira."
Raito wanted to answer, but his mouth felt so dry. His lips moved, but no voice came out. He couldn't imagine why he was so "scared" of himself.
"No, I…I am Kira!" His voice came out cracked and high. Kira put a finger to the glass, and flicked it lightly. Glass shards flew everywhere. Raito's first instinct was to jump out of the way, but instead, he was so shocked, he stood there and was engulfed in light and glass. He closed his eyes.

"Raito, what did you say? What did you say?!" L was gripping Raito by the collar and shaking the noodles out of him.
"Ryuuzaki, I don't think they have ther- what are you doing?!?" Matsuda pulled L and the starting-to-wake-up Raito apart.

If you didn't understand it…well, you know how sometimes Raito kind of mumbles things when he dreams? In this case, he said something that probably scared the crud out of L. Anyways, reviews are always welcomed and next chapter will be out when I can find free time. The finals (School.) are coming! -Insert Jaws Theme here.-
Note: I didn't edit this one much, you are basically reading raw, the untouched, straight from the printer edition. I'm sorry if there are mistakes, I try to fix them while I write but sometimes, mistakes get past the spell check, me, and the grammar dude.
