Hehe, I have reviews. I know I don't have much, but it's the thought that counts! ^^

------------------------------------
I awoke that morning to Light. He apparently woke up before me, and decided to watch me as I slept.
"Why are you staring, Light-kun?" I asked sweetly, and hopefully innocently. I didn't want to say something that could end up putting me in a situation I didn't want to go through.
"L, I was watching you sleep. You don't do that often, you know!" Light had a point there.
I pulled him close and into a hug. "So we're together now, right?" He asked. I thought about it for a while and came to my conclusion.
"Yeah, I suppose so. But we can't let it be public until you tell your father. I don't think he deserves to be left in the dark," Light nodded.
"I know. What I don't know is how he will handle this. What if he tries to break us up?" Light was upset. Of course, I don't know what it feels like to be punished by a parental figure. Unless you count Watari getting upset because I spilled cake all over my white shirt. In my defense, I said I tripped. The truth was that I sneezed before putting it in my mouth, and ended up dropping the whole plate on myself.
"Light-kun," I began, "If he loves you, he will-"
"-will accept me no matter what. I know, but I still can't imagine what he will say. I don't even know if he supports gays, let alone his son and his boss getting together," Light interrupted.
I pulled my arms up to his face and planted a gentle kiss on his lips, which tasted better than any cake, ice cream, or strawberry I have ever tasted. I pulled away when I heard the door open. Watari walked in and was staring at us with a puzzled expression on his face. I smiled awkwardly but it disappeared as I saw his serious face.
"L, I have been told by our security system that there is an intruder within the headquarters." What? How could this be possible? The technology is so advanced here that not even Aizawa could get through! He had to remove his pants to get in, or at least that's what Matsuda said. He's a different one, that Matsuda.
"Watari, are you sure? This could be a prank or a malfunction, or-"
"I'm sorry L, but this is a real problem. Someone has broken in, and probably means business," What is with everyone interrupting me today? To make matters worse, we have an intruder. But the only one I could think of doing this is dead. B was killed by Kira the last I heard. But perhaps, he has a follower.
Watari left the room and gave us a remote. He warned us that if we are in danger that we were to push the button immediately. It acts as a signal and Watari would be able to trace that signal, activate cameras and automatically lock any doors behind us, just in case we were being followed.
"Light, hurry up and get dressed, you heard what Watari said. We have to be on constant watch," Light nodded and got out of bed. We hurried up and got dressed. This is going to be a long day, and I hope both me and Light are able to make it to tomorrow.
"L, this could be one of Kira's members. We could die today!" I took Light's hand.
"I won't let that happen, Light-kun. And I highly doubt someone working with Kira would be so stupid to walk right into a room, let alone building, of Kira investigators. There is only one person, that I am aware of that would ever want to kill me, and he is dead." Light looked puzzled at what I had just said.
"And who would that be, L?" I looked at the ground and took a deep breath.
"His name was B, as in Backup. All he ever wanted was to be better than me. I was top detective. He was number two. He soon got furious and turned green with envy. If I was top detective, then the only way to beat me is to make a case in which I could never solve. He turned to the bad side, and started killing. He even dressed as me when he did it, just to prove how much better he was than me. He was a gruesome killer and got away with his killings, until I solved the case and put him to justice. He was just recently killed by Kira, so there is no way that he could be our intruder." I took a breath out. I was still trying to figure out who in the world would do such a thing, other than BB.
"L, do you think that this could be someone who wants to avenge B's death?" I nodded.
"I was thinking about that. There is a 67.8 percent chance that is correct, seeing as the other 32.2 percent could be just a robbery or someone who wants to commit suicide by others, since they probably don't have the guts to do it themselves." Light shivered. His Kira percentage dropped by 3%. Light obviously sees human lives as a precious thing, something Kira just happens to lack.
We stepped into the elevator and pushed the button marked B2. We would soon be in the investigating room, and safe at that. We have cops down there, and where there are cops, there are guns. Well, except for Soichiro Yagami. What a stubborn man, now I know where Light gets it.
Just as we hit the fourth floor, the elevator jerked to a stop. The lights flickered and shut off. I was still holding Light's hand and squeezed it for reassurance. Light's eyes were darting around, a scared look was on his face.
"L, what's g-going on?" Light was shaking. 'Just our luck,' I thought 'right when we get together, me and Light are going to be killed... NO! I can't let that happen!'
"I don't know what is going on, Light-kun, but I can assure you that I will protect you for as long as I live!" Then I heard a snicker.
"That won't be very long now, will it?" It, or shall I say, she, was the intruder.
Suddenly, the roof on the elevator was kicked through. And down came the girl. She looked around twenty years of age and had half of her face covered in hair. Her eyes were a cold emerald green and her hair was brown and had black at the tips. To top it all off, her outfit was tight and any straight man could easily get a boner just looking at her.
Good thing I'm gay.
She ran a hand through her messy hair. Her head was down now so we couldn't see her face.
"Are you L?" She asked. Her voice was far from innocent. It reminded me of that insane B that I mentioned before.
I stepped forward. "In fact, I am. Why would you like to know?" She looked up after I spoke. She smirked.
"All I have to say is you were right," Light looked at her, confused.
"What do you mean, he was right?" he asked.
"Exactly what I said, loser. L was right about me and B. I am here to avenge BB. Because of Kira, I have to fulfill B's dream for him. That way, he can rest in peace," She hissed at the end of each sentence, sending a chill down both Light's and my spine. She pulled out a knife and aimed it at me.
"I have no intention in killing Loser over here, unless you decide to get in my way, of course." I stood in front of Light.
"I'll never let you hurt Light-kun!" I yelled. She smirked yet again. I felt my heart pound in my chest. This could really be it. I suppose no good things last. Anything can go from good to bad in seconds.
"Just because you said that, I'll have to kill both of you. That's what B would have done."
"Why are you doing this?!?!" Light yelled/screamed. "What kind of relationship did you two have anyway to share the same ideals?" Her face turned sad for a second.
"We are both in second place. Both of us have been cast aside by the people who should have been our equals." She really wasn't lying.
"But why does that mean you have to turn to the bad side? What is so wrong with working hard to succeed the ones in front of you? What's wrong with trying hard?" I yelled. She just glared.
"I am trying hard. But it's too late to change the past now! I will kill you for B," She aimed her knife straight at me, "And then, I will finally be able to kill Maxine!" Maxine? Where have I heard that name before? Wait! On the Los Angeles BB case, there was an FBI agent named Maxine. Naomi had mentioned another look-alike. I believe her full name was Maxine Quincey. So this is the mischievous Maine.
"Wait! You're Maine!" I said. She nodded.
"Took you long enough. And I thought you were the best detective in the world." She laughed. "Now... get ready to die!"
All I could see was the knife's blade lunging right at me...
"L!!! NO!!!"
