Death Note:
Redemption
By NinjaKittyx3
::::
Overall, it was possible that Raito Yagami was sad that L had relieved him of his handcuffs. Sure, he'd gotten his freedom back, and was allowed back home (where'd he'd only been once since he was freed), but that was it. Raito felt lonely, which was odd, in a very confusing way. It wasn't like he'd never see L again, was it? Of course it wasn't. L was always there; after all, it was his headquarters after all.
So, Raito was in his room, no; his and L's room, with Misa. Don't ask why.
"Misa-Misa is so happy that Raito is free." She sighed happily, looking at Raito's confused face as he glanced at his watch again. "Something the matter?"
Raito looked up, his neck cracking. "Oh, yeah… it's this damn watch. Something is wrong with it… I'll check it when you leave." Raito smiled slightly.
Misa stared at Raito. Okay, so she could let Raito see her notebook, then in turn see Ryuk… but she wanted her notebook back, so just where was Raito hiding it?
Suddenly something moved beside Raito and his head snapped towards it, but saw that his jacket had fallen on the floor. Sighing, annoyed, he turned back to Misa, who seemed to be glaring at thin air around his jacket. "Odd… there can't be any wind in here… there's not windows…"
Misa glared for a moment more, then turned to Raito. "Yes, anyway, how does Raito-kun feel about being free?" She smiled sweetly at him.
Raito looked up from his watch. "Oh… p-pretty good, you know." He smiled slightly as she stood up and sat next to him on the couch. If L is watching… he's going to be so annoyed. "Though I'm sad that I can't spend more time with you…" He sighed dramatically.
Misa's eyes watered. "Oh, Raito-kun…" She snuggled into his shoulder and whispered; "Aishiteru."
Maybe telling Raito could wait for a little while. Raito with no memories was pretty cute, even though Raito was God either way, memories or no memories. He wouldn't be the same Raito when he got his memories back, and Misa was afraid that Raito might use her.
Rairo leaned his head on Misa's and closed his eyes. For a raging, bubbly lunatic of a girl, she was actually acting not so bad for now, even if it was annoying L.
"Raito…" Misa began, glancing at Ryuk, who was watching the scene in front of him, eyeing the fruit bowl on the table beside Raito's jacket. He'd seen it before, and went to get an apple, successfully knocking over Raito's jacket in the process, and then gaining a glare of death from Misa; so he'd decided to leave the apples for now, anyway. "Do you believe there is life after death?"
"Misa…" Raito said slowly, eyes widening. "Why?"
"Do you think everyone will go to Heaven or Hell? Or… is there somewhere else?" Misa sighed unhappily. Did Raito not having his memories mean he'd get a chance at Heaven?
"I believe…" Raito raised his head off of Misa's and stared into space, unknowingly staring right at Ryuk. "…That you get to go wherever you want, with whoever, and whatever you want if you did not get it in your past life…"
"But Misa-Misa already has Raito…" Misa pouted, laying her head on Raito's lap. "Does that mean Misa-Misa can't have Raito when she dies?"
Raito didn't answer, and got a strange feeling like they weren't alone, as if someone, or something, was watching them from the sidelines. Raito knew it could just be L, but it didn't feel like it; he felt as though it was in the room with them. During Raito's thoughts, Misa soon fell asleep on his lap, purring quietly.
Slowly, Raito edged out of the way, and left her sleeping on the sofa. The feeling came back again, but stronger than before, as if whatever it was, was watching him intensely now. Annoyedly, Raito looked around him, but saw no signs of anyone, and no signs of disturbance of any kind. Pfft, I'm in L's Headquarters, what could possibly get in here?
Raito sat down on his and L's bed and removed his watch from his wrist. Right. I'm checking this out. Now. Slowly, he flipped it over, and ran his fingers across the back, a shiver running down his spine. Something told him this was wrong, but what harm could be done? He was only checking for God's sake…
Raito pulled the nob out, successfully stopping the time on it, and put his nail under the metal. He flicked it, and when it failed, he flicked it again. One more time… here we g-
"RAITO! What're you doing?!" Misa's voice was heard from the other side of the room. Ryuk sighed and glared at her.
"Eh?!" Raito's head snapped up. "What do you mean what am I doing? My watch has been bothering me and I'm looking at it…"
Misa jumped up and took the watch out of Raito's hands, strapping it back to his wrist. "Now is not the time to fix watches when Misa-Misa is here!"
Raito stared at her as if she'd grown horns and a tail. So, what? Everyone was against him fixing his watch now?
"Hey, Misa." Ryuk said annoyedly, glaring at the girl who snuggled into Raito's arms.
Misa glanced up at him, and then he continued. "I'm bored. Give me an apple."
Misa glared at him. I can't you idiot, I'm with Raito, and him seeing an apple floating around will be pretty weird.
Ryuk sighed. "Tsk, fine."
He smiled evilly when Misa fell asleep and Raito was about to open his watch. Ryuk stared eagerly. "Go on, Raito. Get this girl away from me. You give me apples. Yes, keep going, keep-"
"RAITO!"
"…going." Ryuk sighed and glared hatefully at the girl. Listening to her banter with Raito, he got bored and floated away, through the wall and downstairs to where L was.
Ryuk thought L looked annoyed. He was glancing from is laptop, to the surveillance footage, to the random handcuffs lying on the table, and then to the empty seat beside him. L was… well, L was nothing like Ryuk remembered him to be. L now had a strange look in his eyes, something close to contentment, and his life span had lengthened considerably. It nearly made Ryuk drool. To have that many years added to his remaining three hundred years would be… wow. Ryuk actually considered it, but then sighed at the thought of being un-entertained with no L for Raito to play with.
Unbelievably, an angered Raito barged in, carrying one annoying Misa attached to his arm. L glanced at them without interest, and then went back to his work. Raito walked over to Matsuda, who stood up, then attached Misa to his arm instead.
"Here," Raito said sharply, "Play with Matsuda for a while."
Surprisingly, Misa complied, pulling Matsuda out the room, after a long look at L, which Ryuk smirked at. He laughed at Matsuda, who looked terrified, but oh well.
"Now, Raito," Soichiro began. "That was hardly necessary."
"And quite childish." Ukita said quietly.
"Who cares?" Aizawa said, shrugging. "If it gets Matsuda out our hair for a few hours, the better."
"Sorry." Raito said quietly, going and sitting down in his chair beside L, sighing contently. Then he squeaked as a file was thumped onto his lap.
"New Kira killings. Please start on them." Came L's request. Raito sighed and turned on his laptop.
Hours and a few coffee cups later, Raito groaned and stood up. L looked at him, a thumb in his mouth.
"Is something the matter with Raito-kun?" He asked politely.
Raito smiled down at him. "No, no. The fact that it is-" he stopped to glance at his watch "-three in the morning does not matter to me."
L's mouth turned into an 'o' shape. "I see. Everyone," He announced the whole team. "feel free to go home now, you too, Raito-kun." L added the last part with a tiny frown, something that no one but Raito, and perhaps Watari, would catch. Raito frowned too and turned to his dad.
"Dad, I'm going to stay here and help L, okay?"
"No, son, you must come home." Soichiro said sharply. "Do not waste yourself away with this case."
"But-"
"No, buts. I'll see you outside." Soichiro bowed, along with the rest of the team – minus Matsuda, who hadn't yet returned from his adventures with Misa. "Goodnight, Ryuzaki."
L nodded slowly towards the rest of the team, standing up and walking beside Raito, thumb in his mouth.
Ryuk watched silently as the team left, and he decided to follow Soichiro outside.
"You don't think I was too hard on him, do you?" Soichiro asked as Ukita got into his car.
"I don't think you were hard on him – I think you need to leave him be a little, you know?" Ukita replied, starting the ignition.
"Hey, Chief, he's a teenager, let him do what he wants." Aizawa's voice was heard from his own car as he drove away.
Oh, it's the concerned father trick, great. Ryuk sighed and wandered back into Headquarters. He spotted Misa and Matsuda playing Go Fish on a set of stairs, and just shook his head and floated on. God that girl was an idiot, and Matsuda didn't seem to be helping. Curse the day Raito decided to give up his memories and leave him with her. Damn him. Damn him to-
Ryuk's jaw positively dropped through the floor, because he was a phantom, at the scene back inside the office.
Raito pushed L down onto the table, knocking over a few files onto the floor. They were kissing. Kira and L were kissing. smiled, and watched the scene unfold, since no one could see him.
Raito's hand found it's way under L's shirt, massaging his stomach gently while his other hand stroked L's face. The one thought running through Raito's mind was: I want the handcuffs back.
L gasped against Raito's mouth, kissing him harder, and pressing up off of the table slightly. But Raito was having none of that. He pushed L back down, possibly bruising both their lips in the process.
L opened his mouth eagerly, only to have it invaded with Raito's tongue. He explored L's mouth hungrily, licking his cheeks and playing happily with L's tongue. Someway throughout it, L had started moaning, and it excited Raito. L was pulled from the table and manoeuvred onto the sofa beside his laptop. Raito figured that if they were going to make out, L might as well be comfortable.
However, L flipped them over, so he was on top, gaining a surprised moan from Raito, then he sighed against L's lips. L slipped his hand under Raito's shirt and gently rubbed up and down his side. Raito responded by wrapping his arms around L, rubbing his back, L's shirt unintentionally moving up his back with every rub Raito initiated. Well, no one was complaining, so it might be a good thing.
L broke the kiss to nip and lick at Raito's neck, getting more excited with every gasp and moan he received from the other boy. Raito's hands were very warm as they pulled up L's shirt and gently rubbed one of his nipples. L gasped at the new sensation and bit down on Raito's neck. Raito groaned in pain/pleasure and brought L's head up for another kiss.
Just as Raito was about to take L's shirt off, he heard his father's voice, shouting him.
"Light! Come on! We're leaving!"
Aw, damn it. Raito had forgotten he had to go.
L quickly jumped up, dragging Raito with him, and brushed himself down.
Ryuk sighed. And just when it was getting good. He'd have to talk to Misa…
L took Raito's chin in his fingertips and gently kissed him goodnight, and then Raito was gone, leaving L alone in the room. Alone inside headquarters with nothing but Watari on another floor.
Misa sighed and flopped her bag on her desk, thumping onto her bed, watching Ryuk hover around her. What a long day. A date with Light, and she fell asleep, then at least two hours of Go Fish with Matsuda.
"Misa."
Misa sighed and looked up. "What, Ryuk?"
"Did you get L's name?" Ryuk asked, munching on an apple he'd stolen from Misa's fruit bowl.
"Oh!" Misa grinned evilly. "I did, didn't I?"
She took out the Death Note from her drawer at sat down at her dresser.
"Misa." Ryuk said, floating over to her and watching her pen touch the paper.
"What?" She stopped moving her pen.
"Maybe killing L can wait." Ryuk said slowly. "As a Shinigami, I don't normally care who you kill, but right now, knowing Raito they way I do, he won't want L dead just yet."
Misa turned around, wide-eyed. "What?"
"Killing L is what Raito wanted, but now that L has him under surveillance, Raito will be the top suspect. When Raito wrote that note, and I know this because I watched him write it, L was only suspecting him, but now he knows... a lot more about him. Hyuk." Ryuk laughed quietly.
Misa turned around with a scoff. "Why should I trust you, Shinigami? You're the one who is going to kill me in the end anyway."
Ryuk sighed. "Not unless you get killed before that."
"Whatever." Misa sighed and put her pen onto the page and moved her hand.
She began to write a name.
