A/N. Hello... Coming back after so long. You must all hate me. But I am determined to get this story done. NO MATTER WHAT!

Begin!

Chapter Twelve

Victory for the good guys!

L was still moping.

Lillith sighed and leaned over to him.

"Get over it L. So you had to cosplay? So what." She smiled. "I personally thought you looked very ravishing in that outfit."

L glowered at her from under his fringe.

"If Matsuda could follow instructions then I wouldn't have had to wear it."

Lillith's smile vanished.

"Seriously, sweetheart. He was just trying to help. And I do hope you haven't forgotten that he has provided you with more than enough proof to destroy the Yotsuba Kira."

L glared at Raito over Lillith's shoulder and hunched down even further. Raito looked at both of them with a bewildered expression.

"Besides," she continued airily, waving her hand in midair. "They think he is dead so there is no more danger to our little operation."

"At the moment Aiber and Wedy are doing what they do best." L wiggled his toes as he reached for a cupcake. "Hopefully this Friday something interesting should happen."

Friday came and the investigation team were waiting until the Yotsuba meeting. Lillith was doing paperwork of her own and L watched as she scribbled something indecipherable and clicked her tongue.

"What is this about, Lillith-san?" L asked, picking up a piece of paper from the stack.

"Aliens." Lillith said briefly, taking the paper back from him and placing it carefully among the organized chaos.

On her other side, Raito looked over with narrowed eyes.

"Aliens don't exist Lillith-san."

Lillith huffed out a breath.

"What is it with you people and not believing in things?" She glanced up at the screen which had just flickered to life. "Looks like the party is starting."

They all watched silently as the remaining seven continuously spouted incriminating evidence against themselves.

When L suggested that they wait until the requested deaths to make any arrests, his comment was greeted by general outrage.

"We can't just let those people die!" Raito said passionately. "It isn't right!"

"With this video owe have more than enough proof!" Soichiro joined his son in berating L. "Letting them commit another murder when we already have so much evidence is out of the question."

Lillith cleared her throat and motioned towards the screen.

"So we will have Zenzai killed this weekend and Elf three weeks after that. How is that for everyone?"

Hearing this spurred Raito and Soichiro into action. Raito snatched up the phone.

"I am going to borrow your name Ryuzaki."

Lillith stretched back with several audible cracks.

"I suggest calling Namikawa. He seems the least 'Kira' like and he has a large influence of the others."

Raito smiled at her.

"Good idea."

After a lengthy chat, Raito managed to convince Namikawa to postpone the murders for a month.

"Done well, Light. Excellent lying skills." Lillith cracked her knuckles and went back to her paperwork.

While she was working there was much talking. The name Kira was mentioned several times. Lillith, focused on her work didn't pay any attention until L and Raito were punching and kicking each other. Yanking both chains violently, she succeeded in making both men stumble back from one another.

"What did I tell you about doing that near me?"

Needless to say, they were both punished.

Lillith opened her eyes to an elaborately set dinner table.

"Hello my beauty." B leaned over the back of her chair and buried his face in her hair.

"Morning B. How ya doing?" Lillith dived halfway up the table to obtain a cupcake and sat, munching on it, in the middle of the table.

"All the better to have seen you." He leered at her from were he stood.

Lillith raised an eyebrow at him.

"Dear B. If you wish to win my heart, get rid of the lovey dovey shit. It doesn't suit you." She jumped off the table and walked over to B, smiling at him with her head tilted. "Just so you know, if there is any more L torture I will skin you alive."

B chuckled.

"You would have to find me first, then get away from L."

Lillith gave him a very condescending look.

"Don't underestimate me. I was killing things like you before you were even a twinkle in your father's eye."

B's eyes narrowed as he studied the woman standing in front of him.

"You can't be older than twenty."

Lillith snorted in a very unladylike manner.

"Shows what you know. I happen to be quite old. This body may only be twenty but I have the memories of thousands of years."

She sighed and sat on the floor. B crouched next to her in a very L like fashion.

"I don't understand."

Lillith looked at him with a sad smile.

"Why do you think I hunt things like you? This is what He created me for." She leaned back against the table leg and closed her eyes. "It's all I have ever know."

She opened her eyes and looked back at B.

"Being with L, it," she sighed, "It makes me feel life I have some measure of control of my destiny."

"You love him." B stated with a blank face.

"I don't know enough about human emotions to make that assumption." She shook her head, as if to clear away the thoughts. "Not that it matters. I can't change what I am. Only He can."

She reached out her hand and cupped B's cheek.

"You seem so sad, Darling." She smiled at him again. "It's not the end of the world. The world is just beginning."

When Raito woke up the next morning, he found himself on the floor of the kitchen. He sat up and looked over to see Lillith and L taking a huge cake out of the oven. (And I do mean HUGE). Raito dragged himself up and walked over.

"What's the occasion?"

Lillith picked up a tin of chocolate topping.

"It's my birthday!" Quick as a flash she splattered some on L's face.

While Lillith giggled like a maniac, L blinked at her with a blank, chocolatey expression. He reached for a tub of icing sugar.

All of a sudden Raito was huddling, with his hands on his head for protection, as an epic food fight started.

After the flurry of food stopped flying, Raito stood and looked at the cake. Thankfully it had survived intact, but it was now covered in every sweet thing they could find as a projectile.

Raito looked at the cake with a doubtful expression.

"I don't think anyone will want to eat that."

L, with what looked like cream and strawberries in his hair, glanced over at Raito.

"I don't recall saying this was for anyone but Lilith-san and myself."

"Yea silly." Lillith smiled, covered in powdery sugar and chocolate chips. "I made you guys a cake. It's over there." She pointed to the other side of the demolished kitchen to a plain chocolate sponge cake.

"I know how prejudice you humans are against quadrupedal chocolatey goodness."

L crossed the kitchen and wrapped Lillith up in a messy hug.

"Happy Birthday." He said, kissing her softly.

"Awwww! You are the cutest!" Lillith pounced on L, dragging them both to the floor.

Raito rolled his eyes.

"Children."

A/N. Well, I finally updated! Please don't kill me! This one has revealed quite a bit about Lillith. And of course L is getting down to the nitty gritty with Yotsuba Kira. I know it is short but it is 1AM and I have shit to do tomorrow. I PROMISE I will attempt to update on a more regular basis.
