Hey everybody im so happy that the same day I updated this story I got some reviews! And all good ones too! Lol im really relieved. Anyways as I do with pretty much all of my stories I will be responding to the reviews I have gotten. (People start to clap) Alright let's see here… (Unfolds piece of paper and clears throat.)

Eveliina92: Thanks for being the first reviewer and don't worry more is coming your way!

YelloWhale: Thanks so much for reviewing! You know I really didn't make it clear where they were and if you hadn't pointed that out I wouldn't have noticed I shall fix that in this upcoming chapter. Light's feelings were pushed out too fast that one I had noticed while posting the story but I felt like it was alright because like it said he was just freaking out because he actually had control over himself, but you're still right and don't worry I shall make sure to keep my eye out on not making the characters go all OOC. Thanks for saying that this was well written because that's a total boost for me but don't worry I won't let it get to my head! Lol thanks again for reviewing and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Sashocirrione: Thanks for reviewing, and you're dead on Light was brought back to the past but I didn't exactly make that clear in the other chapter but that is what happened. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Also I would like to thank all the other people who added me! Enjoy the chapter.

The Trouble With Lying

Chapter Two

Light was contemplating on a good way of hiding L's dead body when he murdered him. The reason for such thoughts you ask? Light woke up in his room at the tower that L had built for this case, went to the bathroom and as he washed his face to wake himself up noticed the bruise on his flawless face…well it sure wasn't flawless anymore. The bruise had shaped itself round, like an imprint of a heel, and it was a mash of the colors purple, black, and a tan yellow. Light was pissed at what he was looking at even though no one would actually notice the bruise unless he raised his head up because the bruise had hidden itself under his jaw line. And let's not forget to mention the spot on the back of his head where after L had generously kicked him in the face the back of his head smashed into the corner of the coffee table. Just thinking about what had happened made Light's head throb and he lightly touched the still healing spot on the back of his head. Is this how I'll start to atone for what I've done? By becoming a punching bag? Yes, he was definitely going to have to murder the great detective now.

"I don't understand how someone could spend so much time in a bathroom just to get ready, he might actually be gay."

Matsuda stated lying back in his chair kicking his feet up on the desk he was given to work at. L walked by and pushed Matsuda's feet off his desk making him fall off his rolling chair and hit the floor on his back.

"Oof!"

L only continued walking over to his own desk where many computers laid open and also where his tea was. He crawled into his own rolling chair sitting on top of his feet and clutching his knees to his chest before stirring his tea.

"Matsuda just because Light-kun happens to spend much time fixing his appearance that doesn't officially point him to being gay. This could actually point to him being insecure about his looks and wanting to please others so that he isn't looked down upon. Haven't you noticed that his scores are the highest in all of his classes, that he is praised much for being such a perfect role model? It would be a more accurate assumption to believe that Light Yagami is insecure about who he is and the way he looks, im almost sixty-five percent sure."

Aizawa helped pick Matsuda up off the floor his eyes on L's back.

"Then what about you?"

"Excuse me?"

L turned his rolling chair around and placed his hands on his knees cocking his head to the side.

"Well you say that someone who takes so much time to make themselves look perfect for everyone else is insecure about themselves. Well couldn't that also be concluded for someone who cares so very little about their own appearance?"

"Not exactly, that would point to more serious things such as depression, but I am not depressed so this theory of yours of me being insecure is totally inaccurate."

L turned back to his work and his lovely tea while Aizawa muttered under his breath.

"Hey everyone."

Light walked into the room and everyone stared. They just sat there without saying anything, watched Light Yagami walk into the room into his seat at his own desk. Light felt extremely uncomfortable and coughed slightly. He would just have to ignore all of the staring because no one stopped.

…

It was extremely quiet with the task force, L and Light. Either people were engrossed with their work or their own thoughts. Light looked hard at the blank piece of paper on his desk, pencil in hand but he just couldn't write or even remember what he was going to write.

"Kira your reign of terror and pain shall be no more! I banish you into the deepest pit of hell; go back to the devil that sent you!"

Light's body suddenly started to burn with unimaginable rage and it ran through every cell in his body.

"Who the hell do you think you are?! You little witch you can't banish me. I am a god!"

The woman's eyes darkened her eyes resting on the color black, a flame dancing inside it.

"I see no god here."

A demonic howl escaped Light's lips without his permission and then he was pointing a finger.

"An angel sent from heaven, your powers can't work on me. Your God isn't strong enough for me; this host has claimed me and he will no longer fight against me!"

Kira's voice shook through his head and Light shivered remembering those words had escaped from his lips.

"He wasn't lying. Kira has claimed you. Now that he is your darkness you will always have an internal war raging through you. Light Yagami atone for your sins."

Kira was always going to be inside of him, could he actually survive such torture? To always know that the monster that was controlling him for so long was living and breathing inside of him as part of him, it was mortifying.

You can't get rid of me that easily, Light Yagami.

Kira's voice whispered in the back of Light's head and he froze. His heart was pounding and he could hear Kira's demonic laugh ringing around in his ears at him.

You will be mine.

Light felt as though Kira was right behind him whispering in his ear. He shivered again and clutched his pencil tightly. He can't get to you, you have a second chance to make things right. Light repeated the thoughts to himself and actually started to write his small mantra on the empty paper in front of him.

"Light."

Light broke his pencil and quickly looked up in shock, like someone had slapped him across the face. L raised an eyebrow as he stared down at Light. Quickly, Light folded his paper and stuffed it in his pocket.

"Yes, did you need something Ryuuzaki?"

L walked over to Light who was now rubbing his jaw line subconsciously. Light stared up at L and his eyes widened as L grabbed his wrist and pulled it away from his face and with his other hand cupped his chin lifting up his face. He turned it to side and inspected the bruise, while Light did absolutely nothing slightly in shock. What would you do if this happened to you? Light seemed to come back to himself and slapped L's hand away from his face.

"Ryuuzaki, I don't think you understand what personal space means."

"Of course I do Light-kun; it's the variable and subjective distance at which one person feels comfortable talking to another, also called personal distance."

"Smart ass."

Light muttered and L simply smirked and let go of Light's wrist which Light had yet to notice he still had a hold of.

"Don't touch your bruise it'll heal faster that way."

"Well if you hadn't had kicked me in the face, I wouldn't have the bruise to begin with."

"I only kicked you after you punched me, some would call that self defense Light-kun."

Okay, Light was now sure that he was going to kill L.

…

"So are you?"

"What?"

Light looked up at Matsuda who had been talking to Light nonstop for the past two hours.

"I was asking if you were gay. Are you?"

Light stood up and pushed his chair in.

"You're really annoying Matsuda."

"Hey, that's not nice to say!"

Light only walked away and Soichiro shook his head at the now sulking Matsuda. L watched Light leave the room he was the only one who seemed to notice the fact that Light had not answered Matsuda's question but had averted it with a comment. L took a sip of his tea.

"Interesting."

…

Light couldn't eat anymore of L's nasty sugary sweets and he also didn't want to deal with Matsuda's pestering questions on if he was gay. How could Matsuda even ask me such a question, of course im not gay! He thought without even knowing it he was stomping down the sidewalks of Japan. It was actually quite cold and Light only noticed after he had calmed himself down. It was around dinner time the night sky was already up, no stars could be seen but the Tokyo buildings with their many lights fixed that problem. Light pulled his coat around him tighter; he should've grabbed his scarf. Footsteps were behind him and he looked behind him. Two men that were very bulky were walking behind him, they had on long dark coats and something about them was wrong. Or it might be that Light had the feeling because no one else was around…This just can't be good.

"Hey you have any money, you want to share."

Light felt someone roughly grab his shoulder and throw him against the wall. Instantly he threw out a punch and hit one of the bulky men in the face, this man had on large black glasses. His fist connected with the man's face but the other man who had on a large scarf and black leather gloves grabbed him from behind. He held him by the arms and the man that had the glasses punched him in the gut. Light grunted and wanted to bend over himself but he couldn't because he was still being held.

I can save you.

Light could hear Kira purr to him and he shook his head no.

I have the power to get rid of them, I can save you. Just accept me Light, take me back and I can help you.

When Light only shook his head again, Kira howled out in anger and Light could feel his insides start to burn in agony. The man punched him a few more times and then in the face before finally deciding to go through Light's pockets and grab his wallet, phone, and watch. Once he was let go Light instantly fell to his knees and wrapped his arms around his now aching rib cage. He was then kicked once by the man that had held him only this man was generous enough to kick him in the face and knock him out.

…

"Wake up, wake up Yagami."

Light groaned out in pain and slowly open his eyes a woman with black hair and gothic style attire was standing over him, when the light caught her eyes it seemed to change in color.

"Y-you."

Light wheezed out and the woman nodded, smiling slightly. She bent down and helped Light up into a sitting position.

"Those men sure did do a number on you."

"How do you-"

"I watched it happen."

She admitted and Light's head quickly snapped over to her glaring, even though the action only caused him pain.

"You watched and you didn't do anything!"

"Of course because you Light Yagami are paying for your sins, and because God does not murder and because I cannot kill you, this is the best I can do by showing you the pain you caused others. So im not going to interject unless I don't cause it or when you may die because I am trying to teach you a lesson."

Light winced as the woman helped him up to his feet.

"I think one of my ribs might be fractured."

"Actually nothings fractured, but your nose is bleeding. Don't worry I'll help you back to the tower where L is."

…

"You know I've noticed you're not a very nice angel."

"Hmph well excuse me but may I remind you that when people like you go to heaven they become angels, I am a messenger of God and am back on Earth slightly a human again. I once was a human with imperfections and to come back here I had to accept some of those imperfections again. One being that I have anger."

"Are you saying that there is no anger in heaven?"

The woman rolled her eyes at Light who was leaning on her trying to walk steadily, an arm over her shoulder so it would be easier to hold him.

"I should've known that Light Yagami has never read the bible. Heaven is a perfect place, meaning there are no imperfect emotions such as anger, lust, hatred, guilt, or depression only happiness."

"But you just said that humans are imperfect and Heaven is a perfect place, so wouldn't our imperfections cause Heaven to become imperfect."

"To get into Heaven you must admit your sins because God died for us and our sins, only then will we become perfect and are accepted to Heaven."

Light stared up at the sky in thought.

"Sounds nice, but very unrealistic."

"Well if there is a devil there is a God. If there are demons there are angels. This is because there is good and evil, if we didn't have any good or evil we wouldn't have Earth."

"You know a lot."

"Why do you think I was sent here, because im good looking?"

The woman said sarcastically.

"I don't know your name."

"It's Miranda, so before you ask no im no Japanese I was born in California but when I was younger I moved here with my father."

"How did you die?"

Miranda stopped walking and Light had to stop also, it stayed quiet for a few moments until they started to walk again. As they walked it continued to stay quiet only Miranda's heels against the cement could be heard.

"Do you want to know one of my sins Light?"

Light said nothing but stared at Miranda who was looking off in front of her, her eyes seemed distant as the color seemed to a sapphire blue.

"I went to jail, you see I had been drunk driving and had hit another girl. But I had been so afraid, so guilty I just ran and left the dying girl there on the street. She died that night and I was taken to jail. When I was in jail I had an unexpected heart attack. You see my name and picture had been put on the news and Kira had seen it. What I did was evil and so Kira wanted to take out all evil in the world."

Miranda looked over to Light, their eyes meeting.

"You murdered me Light."

…

"Hey is that Light?"

Everyone turned to the woman who was carrying in a slouching, bloody, beat up Light.

"Light!"

Misa was the first to reach Light's side and he lifted his head.

"Got into a little trouble."

"Where should I put him?"

Watari walked into the room.

"Put him over on the couch."

Miranda nodded and took Light to the couch. Watari had left the room to grab the first aid while L had brought over ice.

"He doesn't have anything too serious, a bloody nose and a lot of bruises."

Light pushed away L as his hands had started to tug at his shirt.

"What the hell are you doing?!?"

"You're clutching your chest, so take off your shirt so I can put the ice on it."

Light winced as he did and Misa looked away from Light's chest. Bruises were starting to form all over his chest and it did not look pretty. L put the ice on one of the larger bruises on Light's side and held it there.

"Do you know who did this to you?"

"No, it doesn't matter anyways. I'll be fine; it's just some bruises and a bloody nose after a few days I'll be back to normal."

"This is a crime Light and we all work for the law, I will not let a crime that I have noticed not take justice."

But this is justice. Light thought, sighing he looked up to the ceiling. So I am going to become a punching bag.

"Great…"

Anyways this chapter isn't as long as the other one but I will and I do say will have the next chapter with action, and it shall be a lot more entertaining…hopefully!
