L was halfway through a piece of cake when Misa (1) burst into the room. She was pouting about something, whining incoherently.

"AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" she finished.

"Huh?" I raised my eyebrows.

"YOU'VEBEENAVOIDINGMEFORMONTHSEVERSINCETHATNIGHTANDI'MREALLYWORRIEDBECAUSEIREALLYWANTTOTALKTOYOUANDILOVEYOUSOMUCH!" Misa said in a rush.

"Whoa, whoa! Slow down," I walked over to Misa and put my hands on her shoulders. She took a deep breath.

"You've been avoiding me for months, ever since that night, and I'm really worried because I really want to talk to you and I love you so much," she repeated.

"Oh. Sorry, I've been busy with L. Don't you think catching Kira is a little more important than our relationship?" I asked.

"You think KIRA is more important than me?!" Misa screeched.

"Misa, I really don't have time for this right now. If you have something to tell me then fine, tell me. Otherwise, I'm going to have to ask you to leave," I sighed. Misa crossed her arms, scowling.

I looked over my shoulder at L. He was still eating his cake, making a point to avoid Misa's stare.

"I have to tell you something," she decided.

"Okay…tell me," I said impatiently.

"Not here!" she whined.

"JUST SAY IT ALREADY!" I stamped my foot.

"I'm pregnant!" Misa yelled.

The world stopped spinning. My heart stopped beating. My eyes closed by themselves. I felt like I was dying.

I tried to calm down and take a deep breath, but it felt like my lungs were clogged with sand. I stumbled to the couch and sat down, running my hands through my hair.

"I can't breathe," I wheezed. I waited for L to make a witty comment, but when he stayed silent I felt even more lifeless.

After what felt like eons I regained my breath. I looked at Misa, who was standing timidly in the corner of the room. L was frozen in time, his fork poised slightly above his cake plate.

"Are you sure?" I asked, my voice cracking. Misa nodded miserably. "Well…can't you have an abortion?"

"NO! I'M NOT GOING TO MURDER AN INNOCENT BABY!" Misa insisted.

"Okay, fine, relax. Misa, can you just give me some time alone?" I requested.

"I don't want to leave you," she sniffled.

"Please, Misa, get out," I grumbled. She left quietly, closing the door behind her.

I cradled my head in my hands, my palms wet with tears. How could I've been so stupid?! I was so used to having unprotected sex with L that using a condom never even occurred to me! And Misa had said that she wasn't expecting us to have sex, so she wouldn't have been using any birth control.

Regret mixed with the blood in my veins, pumping through my body. I'd slept with Misa so she'd give me L's real name to kill him, and not only did I not get his name, Misa got pregnant! I'd had a tentative plan to torture's L's name out of Misa and then kill her, but the thought of torturing and killing a pregnant woman made me sick to my stomach.

I'd have to wait until the baby was born. And what, I'd have to take care of my child all by myself? In between killing criminals, pretending I wasn't Kira, trying to find another Kira, loving L, and eating potato chips I'd have to be a single father?

It felt like the world was closing in on me. A weight the size of an elephant was sitting on my chest.

"What the fuck am I going to do?!" I whispered.

"Be a father," L answered quietly, though I hadn't wanted a response.

"I can't…" I shook my head.

"I won't let you orphan your child," L said more firmly. His dark eyes burned holes in my head as he stared at me.

"I CAN'T BE A FATHER!" I exclaimed. All of the sudden I felt like blaming L. If it wasn't for him I never would've slept with Misa!

"YOU CAN'T ABANDON YOUR CHILD!" L stepped over to me, his face inches from mine. We were both breathing heavily, emotions swirling through the room.

My anger towards L was building up, and I clenched my fists. In one swift movement I took a step back, cocked my arm, and launched my fist at L's face.

His foot flew into the air, blocking my punch. He knocked my fist down and aimed his foot at my face. I stumbled a few steps backwards but recovered quickly, striking L unswervingly in the face. He pounded my head with a roundhouse kick, and I felt blood trickling out of my mouth.

I wiped the blood away and squared my shoulders, preparing to punch L again. He scratched one of his legs with the other, waiting for me to make my move.

I attacked him with an uppercut, but he stepped backwards and aimed another roundhouse kick directly at my chest. This time, however I was expecting it, and I caught his leg, holding it against my side. Moving quickly, I kicked his leg, causing him to fall over. He was lying on his back with his leg still cradled against my side. I kneed him in the groin, causing him to groan and roll over.

L stood up again, bending over slightly because of the pain in his groin. I put my fists up, ready for another kick, but L nearly knocked me out with a jump spin hook kick (2).

My head was throbbing as I stood back up, and I felt more blood oozing down my face. My body ached and I wanted to stop fighting, but there was no way I'd lose to L.

I hit him with a left hook punch, and then struck him again with my right. He shook his head, sending blood flying everywhere.

We were both exhausted and out of breath, but we couldn't stop fighting.

I lunged at L, tackling him to the floor. We rolled on top of each other, knocking each other into the wall and occasionally pounding our heads on the table.

Just when I thought the fight would never end and we'd kill each other, the door burst open. Watari was standing there, trembling.

"Ryuzaki! Light!" he gasped.

L had been pressed down on top of me, and he rolled off, resting his head against the wall. He was panting heavily, and he looked horrible. Blood trickled out of his nose and mouth, and his knuckles were scraped and disgusting. The rest of his body was already starting to bruise.

My heart sunk. What the hell had I been thinking? WHAT HAD I DONE?

I looked down at myself, and felt like throwing up. My shirt was covered in blood, and I felt something dripping out of my ear. Some skin on the back of my left hand was scratched and torn nearly to pieces, and my stomach was burning.

"You need to be separated! Light, in the bedroom. L, stay here," Watari commanded before rushing off.

The idea of ignoring Watari never even entered my mind as I dragged myself to my feet and limped into the bedroom.

When I reached the bedroom door I turned around to look at L. He looked up at me slowly, and our eyes met.

A large smile graced his face, like the whole fight had been a joke. I couldn't help but laugh.

"I love you," I whispered. L murmured it back, still smiling. He knew that I never meant to hurt him; I was just taking out my anger. It felt like I was falling in love with him all over again, as I realized how understanding he could be. We'd pounded each other into pulp, and what was he doing? Smiling.

I winked and collapsed onto the bed.

(1) Did ya miss her??

(2) Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous. Check out my profile page for the YouTube link to see what it looks like.

Well, THAT was unexpected.

I'm sure you're all deeply confused about the fight…

L is such a trickster, isn't he?
