Chapter 8 hide N seek

Count 4,5 : Capture

----------------------------------------

L pov.

When the alarms went off, my mind went blank for a second. I turned quickly to the computer, my finger pushing buttons at a top speed, all while checking the camera's in all the different rooms. It didn't took me long, before I spotted the intruder. Leaving Watari's unconscious body behind, he started to climb up the stairs. Holding in his hand a gun. He didn't seemed unprofessional, and his body was bigger then both Light and me .

I froze. Light looked over my shoulder and gasped. "Ryuuzaki? Who's that man?" I shot down all the systems while answering.

"I have absolutely no idea, and I don't feel the need to find out either." I started to make a run for the elevator. Apparently the attacker was smart enough to take the stairs. It was all a wager now. My percentages told me the one-man elevator would faster. I pushed Light into the little room, jumped after him and told Light to which floor we had to go.

*Hmm…Watari didn't seem too injured. By the looks of it, he only receiveda nasty hit with the bottom of a gun. I'll call an ambulance when we are out of sight…How did he figure out my location anyway? * I snapped out of my train of thoughts when Raito took a hold of my hand. He was trembling slightly. I felt compassion for the teen . All of this madness must be too much for him. Cursing myself for not bringing a gun , I stared at the red-lighted numbers who were counting up. We never got to the roof tough. The elevator stopped suddenly, causing both of us to fall. It went dark in the narrow space.

*Shit…*

Normal pov.

L had been careless. In the rush of adrenaline he didn't saw it coming. It was so damn easy really. The intruder had cut off the electricity. Everything in the hotel (exception for the inner-doors) worked on electricity. L cursed himself once again. Here they were, trapped into a space only good enough for one. Lucky there was a small opening that gave them fresh air. He noticed his chain-buddy was terribly silent.

"Raito-kun?" No answer. "Raito-kun?" Still no answer. L started to worry and felt around in the small space. It didn't take him long before he found his suspect, who sat down on the ground shivering.

"Raito-kun!" L gently shook the boys form. Still no answer. He touched his lips to see he was still breathing. He ignored the funny moves his stomach made by the contact, and started to whisper soothing words to Light.

" Light-kun is going to be ok. I promise. So talk to me, I want to know you're alright."

The brunette responded by gripping Ryuuzaki tightly, and bursting into tears.

"….It's…hic..my fault…hic..Ryuuzaki..hic.." L petted his hair awkwardly. *So soft…*

"That's not true, Light-kun. I'm the one who choose to stay in such an easy to track hotel."

"You don't understand…hic.." Light's sobs held on for a while. The detective waited patiently till the boy stopped crying, rocking the smaller body lightly, as he had seen on TV.

"Then make me understand, Raito-kun…I'm sure I'm smart enough to understand."

The younger genius chuckled. "Even full of yourself when you're stuck, huh?"

The raven frowned. "I'm only trying to make you feel better. I'm terrible at human interaction."

"It was Kira." L stiffened by hearing the criminals name.

"What does Raito-kun mean by that?"

"Kira send that man after me."

'Impossible." L said, his voice full of disbelieve.

"…Just believe me…" Light crawled deeper into Ryuuzaki's arms…He was happy the detective couldn't see the blush on his face in the darkness. "…Please?"

Ryuuzaki sighed. "And if I believe you, will you tell me how you know?"

"You're going to think I'm insane."

L snorted.

" This whole situation is insane. I'm pretty sure whatever Light-kun's got to say will not sound insane to me."

Light hesitated before answering. "We're being spied on." L sighed. Maybe the boy's sanity was something to discuss after all. However, he decided to play along with the theory of his possible-mentally-ill-suspected-overly attractive-Kira lead.

"By who are we being followed, Raito-kun?"

Once again Light hesitated." …By a death god."

The 'empty' space in the right corner of the elevator started snickering.

IT'S SHORT! I KNOW! I suck at writing action scenes. or anything that has to do with it.

THUN THUN THUUUN!! Light can see Ryuk! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? sure enough you all know right!?
