Disclaimer: Just like the other chapters, nothing has changed. I still don't own Death Note.

"L!!! NO!!!!!" Light screamed. All this was happening so fast. I thought I saw my life flash before my eyes. 'Hmmm... I didn't do much.' Which was true.

The blade of the knife was coming at me. Right before it could enter my chest, the elevator shaft jerked. Maine fell over, knife blade tearing across the carpet. I seized the opportunity and pulled out the remote. Light lept and tackled Maine before she could grab the knife. I pushed the button and hoped it was working.

Maine was struggling to kick Light off of her. She succeeded and threw him out of the way. The door opened suddenly. I looked up and saw the sign. It said we were on the third floor. I pulled Light up and we made a mad dash for the nearest door.

Maine growled and picked up the shiny object that had ruined the nice elevator. She ran surprisingly fast towards us.

'Curse my hunch' I thought. I pushed myself harder and tugged on Light, who was still kind of dizzy from the fight. Soon he snapped out of his daze and grabbed a potted plant from the hallway. He used his momentum and spun around. With his good arm, he threw it right at the crazy killer.

It was a direct hit, but she shook it off quickly.

"Damn!" She yelled. "Get back here!" She started to pull an object out of her shoe. I panicked. It looked like a mini taser. One hit with that and both Light and I were going to fall to the ground, muscles tensed from the shock, and not be able to get away from the blood-lusting girl.

I saw our destination approaching. It was a kitchen, but it could do. I grabbed Light's hand and charged full speed at the door. I opened the door and closed it fast. I heard the taser hit the door, and sighed. I heard the door lock soon after. We were finally safe.

I turned around and saw Light. He was grinning ear to ear. I was instantly confused. What the heck could he be thinking? We almost died.

"Why are you so happy?" Light pulled a chair out and sat on it.

"We made it out alive. Why wouldn't I be happy?" I nodded. Light scooted over, almost falling off of the seat while doing so. I sat next to him and held his hand.

"Light-kun, you're percentage is at 3%, having fallen down by 12%" Light's smile was warm and he kissed my cheek. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"That's nice to hear," He twitched a little. "Uuuhh... L? Don't you think the Task Force is watching us?" Light whispered.

'Never thought about that, did you L?'

I shushed my inner L and blushed.

"Well, they'd find out sooner or later. I can't believe I never thought of it!" I laughed. I heard an intercom click.

"L," it was Watari, "it is safe to go down the hallway now. We have caught the intruder. We can talk of her punishment later," With that, the intercom clicked.

I stood up and let go of Light's hand. Light opened the door and peered outside. He opened it wider, telling me that the coast was clear.

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

We walked to the investigation room to find Maine, crying and tied up. Her mouth was gagged by a cloth, but I could still tell she was trying to scream. Watari was approaching me.

"What would you like to do to her L?" I thought for a while. 'She tried to kill Light and me. A crime that shouldn't go unpunished! No one can try to split us up and get away with it!'I was about to tell Watari my decision, when Light pulled me aside.

"L, what if the news gets word of this? Kira will kill her! We can't just sit back and watch her die!" I looked at his face. It was sincere, compared to my stoic mask.

"But, she deserves the appropriate punishment," I looked at Light, actually considering someone else's opinion, rather than mine for a change. It was when I looked at Maine when I made my decision final.

"Watari?" I said, firmly.

"Yes, Master L?" I nodded to the tied up girl.

"Keep her under 24 hour surveillance."

"B-but, L. She tried to-" now it was my turn to interrupt someone today.

"Yes, but if we arrest her, she will die. We can arrest her after Kira has been put to justice. For now, she will be your apprentice. Who knows, maybe she'll change," Watari nodded and pulled her up. They will be spending a lot of time together. I looked at Light. He mouthed a "Thank you," and I blushed. Man, if he is Kira, I don't know what I'd do.

We went back to work, and I was talking to Watari, well, complaining really. 'Where is that girl and my cheesecake???' I wondered. Maine was walking towards me with a cart and a cheesecake. She looked so fancy in her new maid outfit. Now we have an official house slave. Well, until we find Kira that is.

"Here you go, master," She said indignantly. I just smiled.

"Thank you," She was about to leave when I said, "Oh, and could you be a dear and make Light some coffee?" She just glanced at me.

"I could..." She smirked, thinking the got the best of me.

"Now now, we don't need smart alacks! Get Light some coffee, or I'll re-think your punishment," She groaned and left the room. Light looked at me funny.

"L, I have a full cup of coffee right here. Why did you do that?" I smirked.

"Just 'cause," I just gave Light a taste of my bad side. I have to have fun somehow! I took a piece of my cheesecake and set it gently inside of my mouth. There was excess on my mouth, so I licked it off. I continued repeating this action until I noticed Light staring at me.

"Do I have something on my face, Light-kun?" Light's eyes got wide.

"N-no, it's just..." He started fidgeting. I noticed his crimson red face. So, I was doing something inappropriate, huh? Well, bad L is still here, so why not have fun?

I took a piece of cake, but instead of using my fork, I grabbed it with my fingers. I ate the cake and made sure I had left-overs on my index and middle digits.

Light was watching me with a mix of embarrassment and concentration.

I slowly poked my tongue out and curved it around my index, and lapping up the cream cheese. I sighed in content, enjoying not only the taste of the treat, but the way Light was acting as well. Thank justice that Maine makes good cheesecake. And uses the sticky cream cheese!

The honey-brown eyed teen just stared in horror at the twisted game I was playing. I was about to take another bite of my cake when-

"Ryuzaki, may I please talk to you in the hall?" Game, set, and match. I always, always get what I want.

Light was yanking the chain around many corners. It was kind of hard to follow along without falling over and letting him drag me along. That wouldn't be bad if I wouldn't end up with a long floor burn across my body.

We got to our destination, which was out of sight and hearing distance. Light glared at me.

"Why, L?" He growled. I gave him a 'don't look at me like that, dear' look. He didn't fall for it.

"And don't go giving me that face! Tell me why you decided to get all seductive during work!" I shrugged.

"I thought I should have fun. I don't get to very often you know," I pushed him to the wall. "Plus, I thought I'd get a little something in return," I nibbled on his lower lip. My mind was so occupied on Light, for a split second, I wondered what was happening to me. Was this the work of Kira? I shoved it away. If Light was Kira, I'd enjoy every second we have together.

Light moaned after my little bite. He opened his mouth and let me battle his tongue for dominance. I won, of course. When don't I? Don't answer that.

After a while, I felt Light's hands crawling up my shirt. I moaned a little louder than Light did and was about to remove the offensive clothing until Maine walked by.

"Get a room you two, and aren't you supposed to be working on the Kira case?" I may not like that girl, but she did have a point. The faster we find Kira, the sooner Light and I can be alone.

She stomped off and around the corner. Light turned me back towards him. By the look on his face, I was forgiven for my seduction act.

"L," he kissed me on the cheek, "I love you."

My heart jumped as soon as the words stopped flowing from his mouth and were put together in my brain. He loves me?!?! Light, my suspect, loves me?!?!

'Forget him being a suspect, what really matters is that he loves you!' I agree with Inner L. I have developed feelings, more than a crush, for Light.

"Light-kun, I love you too. And this means a lot, considering you were the first one to ever hear those words," Light smiled the happiest smile in the world. His eyes looked like they were going to develop tears, but we both know that he is too strong to cry.

Light hugged me nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. I squeezed him back just as hard. This was heaven.

"L, we should go back. The Task Force is probably guessing something is up." I nodded. Light had a point there.

"Let's go, Light-kun. We can continue this later, after they're gone," I smirked and Light blushed.

"I'll make sure you keep that promise, mister!" And with that, we walked back to the investigation room, both knowing we were going to keep that promise, no matter what.
