A.N. Hello once again and welcome to chapter six of this exciting saga of pain, love and poking Light with a sharp stick. We are currently reading through the Death Note manga, because we have forgotten what happens after confinement. Something about chains and Yaoi. But that can't happen in this one unfortunately. Sorry fellow fan-girls! -Bows in apology- Thanks for all the people who have been reviewing me! I feel so special every time I read them.

I also apologies to those who did not like the Lillith torture in the last chapter but I had to. Not to worry! She will be fine. Feel free to send get well cards.

Begin!

Chapter Six

Visiting Hours

BB looked out of the alley and watched as L's car pulled up.

'What luck.' He thought, strolling up to the doors of the hospital. He stood ready with a witty remark, when L burst form the car, carrying what looked like a bloodied corpse. The detective rushed straight past B and into the hospital.

He stood, shocked for a moment, then smelt a delicious scent. He looked down a spotted drops of blood trailing from the curb. He knelt next to them and breathed deeply.

'Mouth watering.' He thought with a creepy smile. 'Very well, L. If you care so much about that girl that you don't even notice me, then I will simply have to take her from you.

That said, the vampire melted back into the shadows.

---------------------------------------------------WHOO----------------------------------------------------------------

Lillith awoke to an insistent beeping. She could smell disinfectant and the musty smell of sick people. Opening her eyes she looked up at the light green roof.

'I wonder if that is supposed to be calming.' She thought. 'Makes me feel a little bit icky.'

Turning her head she spotted a strange man with wild hair, sitting oddly by her bed, wearing a pink mask.

She smiled when she heard him snore quietly.

Reaching up, she gently ran her fingers through his hair. Despite how it looked, it was soft and silky.

He turned his head in her direction and entwined his fingers in hers.

"Good morning dearest." Lillith smiled. "Have a good sleep?"

"Every sleep I get is good." He brushed strands pf hair out of her face. "Are you alright now?"

"I am satisfied with my current health."

He chucked as the door opened and in walked the doctor.

His dark hair and nondescript face were very reassuring, but his nose was slightly off center, as though it had once been broken.

"Hello Lillith-san. Nice to see you conscience." He picked up the folder from the end of the bed. "How are you?"

"Hello Gota-sensei." She flashed a smile at the doctor as she stroked L's palm. "You're the doctor. You tell me."

Gota laughed. "Well you have a medical degree as well." He looked at the file. "Let's see. You had massive internal bleeding, a ruptured lung and two hundred and eighty three stitches." He looked up with a smile. "Possibly your wost injury to date. Lucky you're a fast healer."

He looked over at L. "She is also very lucky you got her here so quickly. What was your name again?"

"Rue Ryuzaki." L answered, taking off his mask.

Lillith stared at him in fascination.

"Thank you Rue-san. The world would be a dark place without Lillith-san." He looked back a Lillith. "Try not to move or your stitches will break."

"Aye aye boss!" She saluted.

Gota rolled his eyes with a smile and left the room.

They sat in silence for a minute.

"I think this is the first time I have actually seen your face."

L smiled at her. "Not what you were expecting?"

"Nope. It's even better." She grinned. "You are a sexy beast."

L's eyes widened. "No one has ever called me that."

"Well it's true." She poked at her bandages for a bit. "So. You don't think I'm Kira anymore?"

"There is still a 3% chance."

"Ok."

There was a knock on the door.

"Hammon-san?" A nurse put her head around the door. "Your friends are here to see you."

"Oh! Yay!" She glanced at L. "How did they know I was in hospital?"

"I had Watari ring them."

Four girls, L had never seen before, walked into the room with neutral expressions. Lillith watched them quietly until they reached the bed. Then she tilted her head up and down quickly.

"'Sup?"

What ensued was a flurry of hugs, chatter and shocked glances at L.

"Alright everyone! I would like you to meet; Ryuzaki. The abduction is his fault, as is getting me to the hospital." She looked at L.

"But he is B!" Yuna gasped. L shook his head.

"B is someone else entirely. I would never kill someone. He would."

"As far as I have found out; B is someone Ryuzaki used to know. He got really obsessed and made himself as his copy." Lillith explained. "Hence the reason I haven't killed him yet." She smiled cheekily. "He's not a vampire." she cracked her neck. "Ok back to the introductions."

"This is Yuna, Natassia, Rikka and Ayumi." They each bowed or nodded in turn. "They help me with the monster killing."

"Oh so he knows?" Natassia asked.

"Yeah."

"I still do not believe in monsters," L commented "But after seeing what happened to you, I am inclined to change my mind."

"So what did happen?" asked Yuna. They all looked at Lillith.

"Cranky shinigami."

"Oh is THAT all?" Rikka scoffed. "We were worrying that it was a Lycan."

"Sorry. No shape-shifting for me." Lillith grinned.

Suddenly all of their beepers went off. Checking hers Ayumi sighed.

"It's been really busy lately. They all seem to know that you're not working right now."

"Well I'm sure Ryuzaki will give me some time off being investigated so I can help out." She looked at L with a hopeful smile.

"I will think about it." L stared back at her with a blank face.

"Righty-o then." She turned back to her friends with a murderous look. "Go do what I pay you for." She smiled again. "And don't forget to have fun and not get killed." After some more hugs and chatter, L and Lillith were left alone again.

"So." Lillith raised her eyebrows suggestively. "What now?"

L glanced at her. "I will work on the case. You stay there and focus on healing."

"That's no fun." She pouted. "I heal just as fast even if I don't focus on it."

"What do you mean?" L asked.

"I heal like a superhero and age like a turtle."

He blinked at her. "Very well. Stay here." He jumped up form his chair and brushed his lips against her forehead. "I will come and visit you tomorrow." He started to walk out.

"Bye lover boy. I shall be counting the seconds." She blew a kiss when he looked over at her. He smiled and left.

"And now we make a break for it." Lillith jumped up from the bed, now fully dressed in normal clothes, and crept to the door. Peering out, she spotted our hero, L, shuffling around the corner.

'Wonderful.' She thought. 'Sorry for bailing my dear, but I have work to do.'

"Oi! Yuuki?" The nurse across the hall glanced up.

"Yes Lilly-san?" She smiled as Lillith motioned wildly.

"Do you see him?" Lillith asked when Yuuki came over.

She looked at the disheveled man that walked around the corner. "Yes."

"He's coming back tomorrow to pick me up but I can't be here." Lillith sighed. "Can you give him this card and tell him sorry?"

"Oh course Lilly-san. Shall I tell Gota that you wish to leave?"

"Yes thanks"

She watched form the window as L got into a black car and yelled' "RUN AWAY!" and... ran away.

Later. (Dot, dot, dot)

"She WHAT?!" Matsuda yelled, standing at the counter in the hospital.

"She left yesterday Matsuda-san, she had to go back to work." Gota explained.

"Did she forget that she has almost three hundred stitches?" L asked with a slightly annoyed look.

"Oh don't worry. She's not that forgetful. Besides, she has a medical degree, she is quite capable of taking care of herself."

"Ah. Gota-sensei?" They all turned to a timid looking nurse.

"Yes Yuuki-san?" Gota smiled pleasantly at her.

"Lillith left this card for Rue-san." She handed L the card with a slight bow. "Excuse me."

"Excuse me as well" Gota left with Yuuki, leaving L and Matsuda staring at the business card.

The card said; 'Sorry! I'll be at work. Love Lillith.'

L flipped out his phone and hit the speed dial. He held it to his ear in his usual fashion.

"Watari? Can you track Lillith's mobile phone please?" He nodded his thanks and hung up.

"What shall we do now?" Matsuda asked.

"Put the plan into action."

"Eh?" Matsuda looked confused. "What plan?"
