You guys will be happy to know that I've taken what everyone said into consideration and is currently trying hard to do all this:

Slooow down.
Explain more.
No more plot turns.
Make longer chapters.

Note: QUOTES in ITALIC are thoughts. SECTIONS in ITALICS& (PARENTHESIS) are dreams and/or flashbacks, it will be labeled. There are also scene dividers for a reason. I have also LABELED these dividers.

-Points to the dotted lines.-

- - - - - - - - - Kira Investigations Office- 9:21 A.M.

Matsuda sighed.

"Honestly, Ryuuzaki, what were you doing?" L squirmed uneasily in his chair but remained silent. The pair continued to blink and stare. After a while, their straight, edgy posture morphed into bored slouches. But neither wanted to give up, even though both acknowledged that this "game" was absolutely ridiculous.

"…Matsuda…"

"Yes, Ryuuzaki?"

"…If it's any consolation, Raito was admitted to a hospital."

"Oh…good…I heard Yagami-san is visiting so I'm going to go. Wanna come? Misa and Sayu are going too."

L considered the offer.

"Why did Raito say he was Kira? Should I go? Is Matsuda involved too?" L re-examined Matsuda.

L shrugged and figured it couldn't hurt to investigate a bit more. "I don't see why not."

"Great!" Matsuda grinned, "I'll wait in the car!"

- - - - - - - - - Outside Police Station: 9:56 A.M.

L opened the car door and expected to see only Matsuda but remembered he mentioned something about Misa and Sayu too.

"Ryuuzaki?" The girls both blurted out in unison. Sayu glared at Matsuda.

"You didn't say he was coming too!" Misa groaned. Amused, L climbed into the car and seated himself between Matsuda and the right door. Of course, he was in his signature position; knees up to his chest.

"Wah, Ryuuzaki! Sit properly! How many times have I told you?" Sayu wailed. L clenched his teeth. He was getting irritated, but still desperately needed to question Sayu. Instead, he smiled sheepishly and lowered his feet.

- - - - - - - - - Hospital 10:16 A.M.

L let his hand rest on the car door handle. He couldn't bring himself to pull it. His mind was caught somewhere between shock and disbelief.

"If I knew Raito was Kira, why am I so surprised?"

Sayu and Misa were already opening the hospital's front doors and Matsuda was impatiently banging on the car window.

The glass muffled Matsuda somewhat, but nonetheless, he could make out the words: hurry, Ryuuzaki, and gone. L scrolled down his window, held his face as close to Matsuda's as he could, and nonchalantly replied: "Matsuda, I will be there in a minute." He scrolled his window back up and watched Matsuda gloomily storm away.

- - - - - - - - - Raito's Room 8:05 A.M.

Raito slowly leaned back into his swivel chair. It was a few hours since he had gotten out of the hospital. Of course, not properly; in his condition, they would have never let him out. He checked his watch.

"In an hour, visitors are allowed to enter…that's not enough time. Mom, Dad, Sayu, Misa, and Matsuda will come, it's a fact. What about…L?" Raito, being the cautious person he was, always wrote down names for a few weeks ahead, just in case of emergencies…such as the one he was experiencing now. What he hadn't counted on was the fact that he was sent to the hospital right on the day his preparations expired. Unprepared, he struggled home.

Flicking through the news channels for new criminals, he leaned back farther. All of a sudden, he dropped the remote. Not out of surprise or anything; he just dropped it.

"Wow, talk about ataxia." He mumbled as he bent over to scoop it up. It made a pretty loud "thump", seeing as his floor was hardwood after all. Hopefully, the rest of his family was either asleep or too worried to notice.

He held a cup to the light noting that his hand was struggling to hold the cup up, other then the fact that his arm twitched. He swayed a little but was currently holding a stable posture.

"Okay, well, I looked at my report and it seems I was sent here on a fever, and they tested me for drugs…etc, etc… but why and how did I get a fever? I was fine when- Holy. Shit." As if Raito's situation was bad enough, he remembered. And no matter which way he looked at it from, he couldn't see a way to mentally console himself.

He choked out the words: "I can't…believe…L…pwned me."
