A/N: Hello again! Hey I actually updated when I said I would! This calls for a celebration! Pocky and Cake for everyone! Lol. So as not to keep you waiting here's the latest chapter of Bound to You by Love!
Chapter 8: Forfeit
Five days had passed since that beautiful day L and Light shared their most intimate moment and everything was going great. Well sort of...
Right now L and Light were standing in the middle of a forest and L was meeting Ryuk for the first and last time. When Light had brought him here and asked him to touch his notebook he had seemed a little uneasy but soon found himself speechless as he witnessed this creature appear. He had not seemed as scared as Light thought L would though. L just stood there and starred at the creature before him, unsure of what to say.
"Lawliet, this is Ryuk. The Shinigami that brought this Death Note into our world."
"Hello Ryuk." He turned to look at Light. "And why have you brought me here, in the middle of the forest, to show me this 'Shinigami'?"
"Because we can talk out here, considering Ryuk cannot be seen by those who have not touched this particular Death Note, and we wouldn't want anybody hearing this conversation. Especially since we're talking about me being Kira, Shinigami and the Death Note in general."
"But what is their really to talk about? Besides you giving up your ownership..."
"We need to talk about it. I want to explain everything to you. I want you to know everything that I know. Even though after I do give up ownership I will not remember any of this..."
"You wont remember anything while you were in possession of it?" L asked in a worried voice. He didn't want Light to forget everything they'd been through over the past week and a half.
Light chuckled at the question and put two reassuring arms around the others waist. "I wont forget everything. Just anything that directly involves the notebook. I will remember the case, the confinement, the task force, Misa being apprehended and most importantly." Light paused and looked into the others eyes. "I wont forget you or my love for you. And anything that we've done." L blushed a little at the last part.
"Well that's good to know." And their lips met for what was meant to be a somewhat passionate kiss but were soon disturbed by Ryuks signature laugh.
"Hyuk hyuk. You humans and your emotions." Light shot him a death glare. "Hey Light. You never did explain to me why you are with this man. Isn't L your enemy?"
"Was Ryuk.Was. Now we are-"
"Fucking!" Ryuk interrupted.
"Well sometimes...But it's not strictly sex. It's love."
"Ah, Love. What a pitiful human emotion."
"Well nobody asked for your input!" Light shot back at the Shinigami.
"So anyway...You're really going to give up the Death Note for this man, aren't you?"
"Yes. After I explain everything." And with that Light and L sat down on a log and Light told him everything. Everything from when he witnessed the note falling to the ground, outside of his high school classroom, to the moment he confessed his love for the man he was explaining everything to. He explained every emotion, every thought and every feeling brought on by the Death Note.
As Light told him the story L couldn't help but feel somewhat releaved. He understood why Light became Kira. He understood that it was the power of being able to kill warping his mind and driving him to do what he did. Even for a genus it would be almost impossible to pass up something like this if you thought you could make a difference. L knew that Light seriously wanted to change the world for the better but his mind became warped and twisted. He now knew everything that he wanted to know about Kira.
"Light..." L spoke soon after hearing the mans story. "I understand everything. I will never hold this against you. Though that would be kind of hard considering you wont remember anything about it after today."
"Thank you for understanding. Would you like to read through the rules?" Light held up the notebook. L went to take it but instead just pushed it away with his hand.
"No. I would rather you just get rid of it. I have no use for knowing the rules so I would much rather not read them."
"Okay. I understand." Light looked over to the Shinigami that had been very quiet while he was talking. "Now would you like to say anything more Ryuk?"
"Just that I will never forget you Light. You helped me with my boredom."
"Okay then. I guess it's time then..." And Ryuk intergected.
"Oh! There is one more thing Light. Do you remember how I said that I would be the one to write your name down in my Death Note?" Lights eyes grew wide, afraid of what the creature would say next. "Well I'm not going to. If you weren't giving up ownership and you quit killing I would." Light gave a sigh of relief. "But there is one thing that I desire..." Light gave a small laugh.
"And I know what you desire." And with saying that Light reached into his pocket and pulled out an apple. Now how didn't I notice that in his pocket... L wondered to himself silently. And Light threw the apple in the air and Ryuk caught it in his mouth, savoring it's juicy flavor.
"I am really going to miss these."
"Now those notes make complete sense." Light had left out everything about the apples. He wanted L to see for himself.
"I'm glad you understand. Now do you have any last minute questions?"
"No. I'm content with everything you have told me. It was nice to meet you Ryuk."
"Hyuk Hyuk. It was nice to have some excitement." The Shinigami turned back to Light.
"Ryuk, I forfeit my ownership of the Death Note." And just after Light said this, he fainted.
Light awoke later laying on the ground with his head in Ls lap and his hair being played with. He was confused as to where he was. He looked around and all he saw was forest.
"Where are we? And how did I get here?"
"You insisted we go for a drive to get out of the city and we started hiking and you passed out."
"Passed out? Why?"
"I do not know. But i'm sure it was nothing serious. Probably just everything that's happened has caught up to you." L lied. He promised himself that he would never tell Light anything about him being Kira. He knew that was how Light wanted it.
"Oh. Okay then. Would you like to head back?"
"That would probably be wise." And they both got up and headed towards the car.
"Here you drive." Light said as he tossed the keys to L. "I wouldn't want to pass out behind the wheel." L caught the keys and opened his door as Light opened his own.
"No we wouldn't want that." And they both got in and drove back to the city.
When they arrived back at headquarters they were 'pleasantly surprised' to find the entire task force sitting in the living room, awaiting their arrival. Neither of the two had been at headquarters since the day they caught 'Kira'. Neither wanted to go back and the rest of the investigation team was not happy with this. Especially Lights father who was the first one to speak. Or more accurately, scream...
"Where the hell have you two been for the past few days!? As soon as you apprehend Misa as Kira you just disappear!? What the hell is wrong with you!?" Soichiro was pissed. Very pissed. That kind of pissed that makes you want to close someones head in a car door.
"Calm down. We were just trying to figure out how to explain the whole Misa being Kira situation and waiting for you to cool off after last week. Did you really expect me to come back after the way you treated us?!"
"Light, you're-"
"Just don't talk right now. I'm going to go get changed and we'll be right back out to talk about it." Light dragged L to their room since they were still holding hands from the walk into the building.
Once in the room Light closed the door and walked over to stand in front of the bed. "You know Light, we should probably hurry up and give them an explanation." Light gave a frustrated sigh and looked at L.
"The truth is..." He fell on the bed. "I don't remember why we arrested Misa as Kira. I don't remember any evidence or anything. I just remember being chained up and you coming in to save me."
"Well the truth is she gave a confession." L was not entirely lying. "She said that she was acting as Kira but no one has presented themselves as Kira since the incident. And their have been no killings since."
"Really? Hmm...I do seem to remember her saying something about that but I can't seem to remember what brought it on..."
"Well don't worry. I'll explain everything. You did get knocked out not long after you arrived at the hotel."
"Okay...I'll just stay in here then. I really don't feel like dealing with my father right now."
"Usually I would deny this but since you passed out earlier I will allow it. But what am I sopossed to tell your father?"
"Just tell him I'm sick or something. Your smart, you'll come up with something."
"That I will." L walked over to the bed and sat down by Light head. He started stroking Lights hair. "But you must promise to speak with your father after I explain everything."
"Okay. But I'm only speaking to him if he comes to me."
"Okay I'll send him in after I'm done." And L kissed Light and walked to the door. Light raised his head and watched the man walk away and he turned around as he went to turn the knob. "I Love you."
"I love you too. Good luck." And after L left the room and closed the door Lights head fell back onto the bed and he thought about every possible outcome for talking to his father. And he wasn't liking how they were turning out...
