I'll Always Have You

Chapter 19: Kira's Identity Revealed

Yes, I'm on a roll on updating guys. This is for all the time I lost because of school. So take advantage of this time. READ LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ BEFORE! haha

"L, get up. There's nothing you can do. Let's just focus on Kira."

"I can't just give up like she doesn't exist. It hurts enough to think about her being hurt, let alone ignore her existance all together." L was down on his knees again when Light came through the door. L got up and took his hand across his face. Light guessed that he had been crying.

"Come on, pull it together." Light had to hold back his own tears when he saw the look on L's face. The black haired man's voice was barely more than a whisper.

"What would you do if Misa-chan went missing like this?" Light had to think about this. What would he do if Misa went missing?

"I would probably be the same as you are right about now, if not worse."

"Let's get out of here while I still can." L walked out and stood on the front lawn. The apartment building seemed so lonely. "Please, be alive." L got in the car once more and saw a girl walking down the streets. It may have been dark, but the shape of her body and long hair was obviously the making of a woman. As she got closer, he could hear her whimpering and he got out to see who the girl was. "Mana-chan..." He ran toward her, hoping she wasn't an illusion.

Manami was almost home. It was true that people had stared at her strange, but she couldn't help how she looked at the moment. "L, I need to get to you..." She whimpered in pain with each step. Rape truly was a physical and mental pain. She could see the apartment complex ahead a strange car. She'd only seen that car once... "Suki..." Someone was running at her, shouting her name. "I'm so glad... you came for me... Suki." She felt herself hit the hardtop slightly and soft, gentle hands catch her around the waist.

"I have you, Mana-chan."

"She said something about knowing who Kira was."

"Don't wake her, she needs rest."

"What happened to her? Her clothes were tore to shreds."

"She'll tell us when she wakes." Manami blinked a few times and sat up.

"Where is he?"

"Who?"

"Kira!" L stepped forward and took Manami's hand.

"Are you okay?" She didn't answer and was suddenly aware that she was surrounded by men. Panic and fear flooded her eyes once again and L noticed. "Everyone except Mana-chan and I need to step out of the room. Now!" The staff rushed out of the infirmary, leaving L and Manami. "What happened when you were taken?"

"How did you know?"

"I came to your apartment looking for you. I was afraid I lost you. Now can you tell me your story?" Manami looked at the bedsheets and bit her lip as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Kira raped me."

"W... what?" L's voice was low and tinged with anxiety. His body started to shake uncontrollably as he thought of Manami thrashing against another man. As he thought of how he didn't save her. As he thought of the fact that her leaving was the very reason why this happened. "Are you okay?"

"I'm in pain, I won't lie."

"I only have one more question and I'll leave you alone. Can you tell me who Kira is?" 'So I can kill the bastard myself with my hands for what he's done to you.' The investigation crew watched the monitor with excitement.

"Teru Mikami." Light nearly fell out of his chair.

"That bastard, he sold me out! He was the one who told you guys where I was and what I was going to do with the Death Note! How did he get out of prison?!" Matsuda raised his hand.

"Same way you did, on good behavior."

"Damn it, he's back to killing." They went back to watching the scene in the infirmary and got caught up in the conversation. L was standing by the window, Manami watching.

"Light told me he wasn't Kira this time. I was determined to prove that, and now I can safely say that I have proof of Kira's new form." He turned to face Manami and she stared at him emotionless. "Thank you for helping us in this case. I'm sorry that you were taken by the enemy." L walked over to her and sat down beside her. "I will never let you get taken again. I'll make a public announcement saying that we know who Kira is and that we won't press charges if he turns in his Death Note."

"You can't appear on TV! He'll kill you, he has the eyes!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Oh yah, cliffie. Welp, you guys know what to do. Get to it, cheer me up:)
