"I am only saving him because he reminds me of Misa" Light whispered under his breath. He knew re-entering and saving Mello would be harder than the original mission.

"Kira struck again L" Watari frowned as he threw the newspaper at the table before L. "While you keep focusing all resources on Light Yagami he struck beneath your nose"
L started at the headline of the paper on the table. 'Kira strikes again leaving calling card while L does nothing'. L's eyes shifted to Watari. "I am very sorry Watari but my top priority now is Light Yagami."
"L you have a responsibility to Japan! You took this case first and you will go through with it then later focus on Light Yagami" Watari glared at L.
"I will not. I am old enough to decide" L replied.
"You should be! But you are setting the wrong priorities L" Watari shook his head.
"Watari have I ever led you wrong?" L asked.
"No but your emotions are clouding your good judgement" Watari's face slowly fell. "I understand that this is the first time you have felt like this L but you have to do what's best for the majority"
"And I always do that Watari! Just once let me be selfish!" L stood up, anger clearly evident in his voice. "if I solve this I- he may- I don't know" L turned his back to Watari.
"L you need to forget about him okay? If you need company you can bring Near out to help you out. You can bring Matt out, anyone. Just don't focus on Light Yagami. He doesn't belong in our lives" Watari placed a hand on L's shoulder.
"He's brilliant Watari you read through his file." L argued as he knocked the hand off his shoulder. "I'll show you Watari."
"Don't" Watari tried again.
"Go and collect the box of letters from Light Yagami. I will solve this mission and recruit Light Yagami" L walked away.
"Light Yagami" Watari growled. He knew L was stubborn and unless he had Light Yagami he doubted L would be the same.

Hours before.
Light panted harshly. He had Mello on ground and had planted a bomb in the building. Too many people had seen his face he couldn't let them live.
He watched the mansion explode. His eyes went to Mello who let out a small groan. "Eh... Fuck!"
"Get up. The police are already on their way" Light kicked Mello in the stomach causing the blue eyes to open and the blonde to hurl. Light frowned, he was angry because he had to kill people who didn't have to die.
"Pretty boy? You saved... Me?" Mello asked.
"Not all of you, they had burnt part of your face pretty badly. For a rookie you didn't squeal on us under such intense torture methods" Light's face turned to one of rage. "But for fucks sake! I had it all planned and I had to kill people who didn't need to die"
"Do you feel bad?" Mello asked as he stood unsteadily.
"Follow close if you get captured again I won't be saving you" Light smirked as he began running towards the street. He and Mello. Took the car 'father' had left for their escape parked four streets away.
Light drove close to an hour before stopping in front of a McDonalds and getting out. They ran towards an alley two streets away. He stopped at the back door of a club. He knocked twice then four times and waited. Mello was just behind him.
"Hay" the door opened to reveal Aiber standing there with a smirk. "A little late are we?"
"Rookie mistake" Light turned to Mello.
"Fuck his face-" Aiber said.
"Needs treatment" Light pushed past Aiber. "I need clothes"
"You can take a position of one of my strippers" Aiber suggested.
"Just heal the kid."

Light smiled and bowed as the welcomed L's partner into his humble abode. A nice mansion with a state of the art security system.
"Good day, can I offer you some tea? I am certain my chef can whip up a nice breakfast for you" Light smiled as he led Watari to the living room.
"Why so many cameras?" Watari asked.
"Oh that..." Light chuckled. He hated curious and observant people. "Misa was a little Paranoid" he lowered his tone as if sad.
"I am sorry for your loss" Watari felt very uncomfortable. "But I need to go, I came for the box"
"Oh" Light nodded. "It's here" Light stood up and leaned past Watari to get the box beside him. Light used the few seconds he had for close contact to snatch what ever it was in L's partner's pocket and shove it in his. He handed the box to the older man.
"If that is all-" Watari began as he stood.
"Oh are you sure you cannot stay for breakfast?" Light asked.
"Positive" the old man walked ahead of Light. Light took the opportunity to look at what he had snatched. It was a receipt for a cake ordered and due to be collected today from Raisins.
Light 'tripped' and fell forward, Watari caught him easily but lost hold of the box. Light used the opportunity to return the useless piece of paper.
"Be careful" Watari chastised.
"Oh I am sorry, I have been loosing sleep and skipping meals. It is just so hard to know she is gone" Light replied.
The butler a dark haired man Watari was sure he had seen before led him out.
"I wanted to kill him" the dark haired man slipped on his glasses.
"Shut up Mikami" Light's pinched the bridge of his nose. He usually did this when he needed to think.
"Get anything useful?" Mikami asked.
"No" Light sighed.
"Thank God he didn't recognise me, our history is a little too close together. Misa's bounty may interest L more but it will cause a lot of background investigation. That we don't need" Mikami sighed.
"I know! I know! I am not getting any closer to finding or meeting L" Light turned his back to Mikami.
"This mission is getting more interesting like how you saved a rookie" Mikami walked to the closet when the door opened a dead butler fell out with a knife stuck in his back.
"Then perhaps we need something to force action from L like an attempt on my life" Light smirked. "Get rid of that body Mikami"
"Hmm..." Mikami pulled the knife out before looking up to smile at Light "I like that idea Light"
"I am sure you do knowing you have a part to play in it" Light eyed the blood pool on the floor "and fucking clean that up if I get back here and see it there I'll kill you"
"Sure babe" Mikami watched Light roll his eyes then head up stairs.
"Then get out of my house when you are done" Light yelled from upstairs. Mikami silently tucked his knife away. Light paused "oh and Mikami, don't call me babe"
*******************************************
L went through the box through the span of a week analysing for prints and such but got nothing.
"Still nothing?" Watari asked.
"Not necessarily" L snapped. Watari just wanted to rub it in his face that he had found nothing. "The person who sent these must be smart to leave no clue behind"
"Two words L. Rubber gloves" Watari could not help the smile that graced his lips as L's head hit the table "ready to give up and agree that I was right?"
"No. I have a feeling something will happen soon" L turned back to glare at Watari.
"Oh really L? Something to happen soon? I'll play your game L, let's sit and wait. I bet you are wrong" Watari grabbed a seat beside L.
Ten minutes passed slowly and Watari still sat crossed arms on the chair. L sighed. What if Watari was right? What if he was just wasting his ti-
The phone rang.
L picked up the phone.
"L this is N check Sakura TV" the voice said before cutting. L switched to Sakura tv.
Light Yagami was hanging by a rope tied around his wrists. His body dangling over the edge of a sky scraper. He had his mouth stuffed wouldn't speak but he could see.
Kira stood behind Light in a mask and his usual outfit.
"Light Yagami" the voice was edited by the mask. "Prepare to die if you won't join my ranks"
Kira announced crazily by a mega phone as he stayed in the building holding a knife to the rope.
Light shook his head.
"No? Aren't you adorable? You don't want to die" Kira laughed. With a move Kira swiped the blindfold that held the ball in Light's mouth so he could speak.
"Oh God!" Light yelled before he started crying. "You had Misa why me? Why now?"
"Light my darling. She is dead and you are alive for now" Kira chuckled sweetly at Light. "Such a shame, you are quiet a beauty"
"I won't do it! I can't let you kill anymore people!" Light yelled. He bowed his head not watching Kira cut the rope. The screen followed Light's fall and land on a floated stunt bed.
-++++++++++++++-
People swarmed around the body of the young model. He wasn't breathing, it happened so fast and Light was going into cardiac arrest. Watari shut off the television. He could smell a rat but all signs pointed that L was right.
"Okay" Watari sighed. L was right and he was wrong. "If we want Kira we have to help Light"
"If you had listened to me before Light would have probably been fine" L snapped as he hit the box and sent it flying to the floor.
"He's fine L he is just in shock." Watari rolled his eyes.
"Kira wants Light for his brain. If Light takes his side I may have to battle someone like myself" L shut his eyes and left the room. He wasn't sure if he was excited or angry at the thought of him and Light being 'cop' and 'criminal'.
-_*****************_**********
Mikami sighed as he ran to the roof, the police hot on his tail. He ran to the roof and a plane picked him up.
A random bullet got him in his leg but aside from that nothing. He escaped smoothly the driver had evaded other police helicopters.
"Back to HQ?" The pilot asked.
"No we should probably fly around to attract more cops you idiot" Mikami wasn't in the best mood. He had to push Light off a building and then hand Light over into L's arms for a while.
"What's up with you?" The pilot asked.
"Just shut up" Mikami growled. He hated this so much.
"Whatever" the pilot didn't blink as he found himself falling out of the helicopter to his doom.
Mikami knew he'd have to face shit with father but dammit he didn't care.

Light woke up in a double bed. The room was plain and under done but beautiful. It was lacking of emotions but not elegant enough to be a hotel room or homely enough to be a home.
"Hello?" Light said loudly. Light sat up on the bed slowly bracing himself for the unknown. "Where am I? Kira please don't kill me! I just can't! Hello?"
"Good day Mr Yagami" from a speaker above the door. What sounded like mechanical voice was emitted.
"Who is it?" Light drew his knees hidden under the comforter to his chest and hugged them. "Misa I guess I will see you soon" he of course knew it was L but according to one too many psychology books he wasn't meant to be able to think logical after a traumatic even occurs
"L, we met before" the voice said Light looked up at the speaker trying his best not to laugh at L's stupidity. The need hung low in his throat. It wasn't anything personal but L's demise would save the life of over 250 children in the orphanage.
"We have? I remember now. Can I go home?" Light asked. He of course anticipated L to say no.
"I am sorry but not at this moment Light. I need us to talk but first some tests just to see how smart you are." L said. It made Light do a mock paranoid freeze.
"No, I am not going to be used by anyone for my brain. I want to go home" Light glared at the speaker.
"I know how you feel. You are frighten-" L was cut off.
"You know? I hung over the side of a 10 story building by a from a rope and dropped down like a sack of potatoes. You have no idea what fear is detective. When your love is killed before you. Do you even understand love?" Light snapped, the emotions were sort of real. Misa had to die for L, he had to return the favour.
"Very well I do not understand the feeling of being close to death. Nor do I understand all that well but I am beginning to" L said.
"Where am I?" Light asked. He stood up from the bed and walked towards one of the three doors in the room. He twisted the knob but it was locked.
"Do you want justice for Misa?" L asked.
"Why do you suddenly care?" Light asked. "You thought I was a joke, no one sees past my 'pretty face'. No one took Misa's death serious until you realised it involved Kira.
"I never thought it was a joke but the point is you will try out to partner up with me to catch Kira" Light stared blankly and walked back to the bed.
"Fine, for Misa." Light whispered.
"No meeting with the outside world either. You work for me in secrecy. Until I trust you there will be surveillance everywhere." L's voice wavered a little.
"Is this house arrest?" Light growled. He had unlocked the irrational anger phase. "Are you some kind of pervert?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
L stared at Light from the surveillance camera. They were so close, yet too far away. He almost fell out of his chair when Light implied he was a pervert.
He wouldn't deny the sexual gratification he would receive from Light if he decided to change in the bedroom. However he hadn't bugged the bathroom. Though if Watari hadn't stopped him, he would have.
"No Yagami-kun. I don't believe I am, it is merely for security purposes." He watched Light gracefully walk to the bed and have a seat. How he wished it was his laps Light was seating on.
"So I am expected to seat here all day?" Light asked. His face went to a blank expression, he held his hand before his face to stare at it.
"Light-kun..." L couldn't help it, Light looked like a greek god. He took in a shaky breath, it wavered.
"Yagami-san" Light corrected him. He was so cold L's stomach churned "I am not certain about this but aren't you going to ask me any questions?"
"Yagami-kun just had a traumatic day. I am surprised he is thinking clearly enough as it is." L replied.
"Sentiments? Careful L I may start to assume I'm getting special treatment" Light leaned back into the bed causing his shirt to rise to reveal creamy, tan skin.
"Master L!" Watari looked shocked, he had come with a slice of cake for L and found L with a nose bleed. L quickly turned off his mic, Watari pulled free his handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to L.
"This hurts" L grumbled as he took the handkerchief. Watari shook his head, he had never seen L like this before.
"Perhaps I could take over surveillance in your stead" Watari hand L the cake.
"No" L frowned.
"It won't due for you to do Kira's job for him and kill yourself through blood loss." Watari tried to reason with L but the detective shook his head.
"I am fine." L directed his attention to the screen where Light was missing.
+++++++++++++++++-++++++++++++++++++
Light glared at the video camera. Was L ignoring him? He grit his teeth, two can play it that way. He growled and walked to the bathroom to have a quick shower.
