A/N: I don't own Death Note or anything related to it. ...More fanservice in this chapter. Nothing too bad.
"He picked up something off the ground," Matsuda told L. He squinted at the screen. "It looks like a book... No, wait. It's a notebook."
"A notebook…?" L bit his thumb as he thought. This seems rather unimportant, but…
"Now he's talking to himself," Matsuda continued. He paused to listen. "Something about a change of plans…" He paused and watched the screen. "He just put the notebook down his pants. Er... Guess he had no other place to put it? He's coming back now."
L tried to focus on the screen in front of him, but he couldn't stop thinking about Light. Carrying a notebook around wouldn't be too odd, so why did he hide it? It makes me think that maybe I should be suspicious…
"So, what did I miss, Ryuzaki?" L nearly jumped when he heard Light's voice. He turned to look at him for a moment, and then turned back to the camera showing the secret meeting at Yotsuba.
"Well, I think Matsuda definitely discovered something, although his means were a bit questionable," Ryuzaki put his thumb to his lip. His expression did not betray what he was thinking. It's almost as if he only went to the bathroom to retrieve this notebook. What is so important about it? Who left it there, and what is written in it? I didn't have the camera on then, so I don't know. It's probably nothing; it could be his diary. If only I could take it from him or get him to show it to me... "These people from Yotsuba do seem to be connected to Kira."
"That's great!" Matsuda exclaimed, perhaps a bit too emphatically. He had closed the laptop. "Then we can arrest them and…"
"No, we are not going to arrest any of them yet," L cut him off. "We don't know which one of them is connected to Kira. It's not improbable to assume that if we arrest these six men, the killings will continue."
Of course, L is right. Light thought. "Yeah, but that's only a possibility. There's also a possibility that one of them is actually Kira, and the killings will stop."
"I think that if Kira was caught, he would pass on his powers to someone else. Actually, I think there's a high possibility that Kira has done this before," L stated, his eyes boring into Light. The younger man had no visible change of facial expression.
"You may be right, Ryuzaki," Light admitted, not blinking. "If Kira thought that he was in danger and he had the ability to do that, then he definitely would. But what makes you think that Kira can do that?"
"Have you ever looked at your eyes in a mirror, Light?" L asked softly, more of a suggestion than a question. "They are beautifully dangerous."
No, don't let her take over you again! Light frowned a little, but he could feel it too. Damn it, Cannibal, now's not the time! Well, there is no good time for this, but… Whose side are you on, anyway?
As soon as these thoughts occurred to him, the feeling had vanished. Light and L both relaxed a bit when they realized that they were in control again.
"Beautifully dangerous…?" Matsuda mumbled, looking slightly confused. What the hell is that supposed to mean?
"I don't have a good reason to believe it. It's just a thought that I had. What if Kira could pass his power on to someone else? It would fill a lot of gaps in this case…" L said, turning away from Light to look at the screen. "Either way, it would be better if we can find out which one of these men is acting as Kira."
Light smiled behind L's back. He doesn't know that that man is dead, although he might suspect it. Yes, he seems to sense something different about me. But I'm fairly safe as long as he doesn't find out about the Death Note.
Light lay on a couch, writing in the Death Note. The cameras aren't turned on unless they are needed. And even if he is spying on me, the cameras won't be able to pick up exactly what I'm writing. I can easily say that I was writing down notes on the Kira case. He turned the page, a frown coming over his face. Someone had written something, but it wasn't a name. It was a message.
Dear Light,
You were wondering who I'm a fan of, right? Well, I'm a fan of both L and Kira. But you are more my type. Don't think this means I'm going to take it easy on you, though!
As soon as he finished reading it, a knock on the door disrupted his thoughts. Without thinking, he stuffed the Death Note in his pants, like he had earlier. He tried to keep his voice calm, "Come in."
"Light, there's something I'd like to talk to you about," L said as he walked in. He shut the door behind him. Whenever you're ready, Cannibal.
"What is it, Ryuzaki?" Light asked calmly, trying to fight the familiar feeling that was quickly making its way over his body. Not now, Cannibal…
"Well," L obviously didn't really have anything to say. He was sitting next to Light now, not even trying to fight for control. I should probably make this a little less obvious, but this may be the only chance I get.
Before Light knew it, the two men were kissing again. Damn, Light thought, truly a little scared. She didn't even give me a chance to fight her off. That means that she was just holding back before. She really can control us completely, without our consent…
L's hands were on Light's chest, slowly making their way down. He unbuttoned a few of the top buttons on Light's shirt, trying to seem casual. She seems to have complete control over both of us at the moment. If I'm careful, I may be able to take a look at this notebook without him realizing what I'm up to…
I've got to do something, Light though frantically, playfully trying to keep L's hands away from his pants. If he touches the Death Note, then he'll be able to see Rem. I can't let that happen. But at this rate, I'm helpless. I can't even control my own body! This isn't good…
He seems to have figured out what I'm trying to do, L realized. He doesn't want me to touch that notebook. But why go through all this trouble to hide it from me? It just makes me more suspicious. He tried to put his hand under Light's shirt, but Light gripped his wrist tightly and gave him a threatening look. His eyes look as if he just murdered someone… Yes, you could definitely be Kira, Light. I've always thought so. "Something wrong, Light?"
"You know that I don't like you like that," Light said evenly. His eyes softened a bit. Both men sighed in relief as the regained full control over their bodies.
"Sorry," L murmured, quickly moving to a less compromising position.
"It's okay, she had control of me, too. There's nothing you could have done about it," Light replied, buttoning the buttons of his shirt that L had managed to undo during the frenzy. Damn, that was close. Maybe there is a god on my side, after all. A god with a bad sense of humor…
That should do it, Light thought as he finished up creating a safer hiding place for the Death Note. He had altered the bottom of a drawer similar to the way that he had altered his desk drawer earlier. No one found it the first time, so I doubt they'll go looking now. I can't have any more close calls like I did earlier today. Even if that crazy fan fiction writer is on my side, I can't trust her. L knows that that notebook belongs to me. If anyone touches it and sees Rem, it's all over.
"So you think that someone is controlling you?" Rem asked Light.
"I don't think," Light replied, keeping his voice low. Rem didn't find any bugs in this room, but these walls aren't exactly sound proof. I don't think even L would go that far, though. Although after what he did earlier, "I know. Someone is controlling L and me. She might have control over others, too. I'm not sure."
"So what are you going to do?" Rem asked. Well, what can he do? If he expects me to help him, then…
Light grinned. His eyes looked more evil than usual as he said. "I'm going to find out more about this person. I'm going to get her name and face."
He flipped through the pages of the Death Note absent-minded, hardly surprise when he found another message.
Dear Light,
So, you didn't like that close call? Sorry, I suppose I got a little carried away. But I've got to keep you on your toes, Light Yaga… Come on, my sense of humor isn't that bad…
A/N: Erm... I wasn't too impressed at how this chapter came out. xD
Yeah... If you've made it this far, then for goodness sakes, review! I need feedback! xD
