Summary: Kira brought Raito to L, the one person he could love. But, is love enough to concur the evil that is Kira? Or, is that love itself the true evil? L's life is at stake, and Raito is the only one who can save it, but will he? L/Light, Mello/Near. Yaoi.

Me: On a related note, it's not a filler, but sue me, really.
Chibi Misa: Oh My lord~
Chibi Raito: Woooo Christmas spirit Misa!
Chibi L: I thought you were Japanese.
Me: Just cause you're an emo, who probably listens to screamo.
Chibi L: I have no interest in music.
Chibi Mikami: … I listen to screamo.
Chibi Raito: As do I.
Chibi Misa: Just review. -.-
I just want to feel your body.
I want to know your quarry.
Can we save every single one?
When we only have five hands.

Death Note:
Redemption
By NinjaKittyx3
::::
Ryuzaki,
I had to leave early. Right now it's around… three am, so I'm meant to be waking up in about three hours. I'm sorry, but if my Dad were to find out that I came here, he'd eat my head, not to mention yours. The last thing I want is for him to hate you.
I'll see you in around six hours, to talk. Don't think I'm just your one night-stand.
Love,
Raito. xx
L smiled and crunched up his little love note. He'd have to destroy it in case Soichiro got to it. Boy, that'd be bad. He sat up and stretched, yawning. It was so long since he'd had such a… refreshing sleep.
Getting out of bed and slipping on some pants, L made his way towards his wardrobe and picking out a plain white T-Shirt. His laptop beeped, and he paused before slipping on his shirt and walking over to it. He had an email. From Misa…
L.
I got some info on the Kira case. Pleeaaaaasseeee don't kill meh!
L nearly face palmed at the terrible grammar.
I'd like to show you and the team!
Misa-Misa.
Well, it'd definitely be an interesting day.
Raito barely got home as Soichiro was walking down the stairs and he had to pretend that he was already up and getting coffee. Soichiro eyed him carefully as Raito sipped his coffee tiredly, pouring his own. Raito made no move to acknowledge his father's presence at all and they stood in silence. Soichiro's cell phone broke the silence, and he placed his cup down to answer it. Raito looked on.
Sighing, Soichiro flipped open the phone, glaring that the caller ID. "Hello?"
"Yagami-san."
Oh. It was him. The man who's one desire was to turn is son into a freaking homo. "What do you want?" He sneered.
It took Raito one time to guess who it was on the other end.
"I am calling to enquire the whereabouts of a certain file I asked you to look over two days ago." L's monotone voice was heard.
"File…? Ah, the Yotsuba file." Soichiro rubbed his chin. "It's in my briefcase Ryuzaki."
"I need you to bring that with you to Head Quarters today." L murmured, by the sounds of it, sipping something. "It is of great importance to the case at the moment."
"I see…" Soichiro looked at Raito, who now had his full attention ever since he realised L was on the phone. "I'm guessing you will be wanting me accompanied by Raito's presence, Ryuzaki?"
L swallowed something before answering. "Yes, that would be ideal, but given the circumstances, I'd understand if Raito-kun did not attend today's meeting."
L was being surprisingly reasonable, and to Soichiro, L sounded quite accomplished, which made him sneer.
"Dad?" Raito asked quietly. "Can I go today?"
"Yes, Yagami-san, it has been a week, after all, since I last saw Raito-kun." L seemed to overhear Raito and add to his case.
Soichiro sighed. "Will you be actually working togetherand not sleeping together, then?"
Raito blushed and ended up spitting his coffee back into his cup. Yes, he knew what his father had been implying, but the way he worded it. It was like he knew. And that'd just be… that'd be the most disgusting thing on the planet. Well, you know, besides being a mass murderer like Kira or something, but still; the thought disturbed him that his father knew about L and his activities not a few hours before.
L hesitated before answering, Soichiro's comment obviously having an effect on him also. "Yagami-san, that is a rather harsh conclusion you have come to. I assure you, Raito-kun and I shall not be sleeping with one another."
"But working."
"Yes, we will be working together." L silently grinned behind the safety of the telephone.
Soichiro sighed, and Raito smiled into his cup.
"And so, Higuchi is Kira!" Misa-Misa smiled, her eyes closing and she held up her pretty, (in her head) red cell phone to the task force. Raito and L gaped at her, while Matsuda was grinning. Dear God Matsuda, get a life. Soichiro looked astounded, and Light thought Ide was only standing behind him in case he fell backwards and was able to catch him.
L glared at the computer when he spun around. Raito struggled as Misa started to hug him. "Misa, you idiot. Do you know how dangerous that was?"
"B-but Raito's Misa was only trying to help!" Misa whined. "And I found out who Kira is! I only had to tell him I was the Second Kira and that I'd marry him." She shrugged.
Raito sighed. L sighed. Soichiro sighed.
Matsuda hadn't caught what she said.
"Wait." L said abruptly, spinning around in his chair to glare at Misa who was currently attached to his property. "You told Higuchi of Yotsuba to halt the killings for three days?"
"Yeah…"
"So, if the killings stop, there is no doubt that Higuchi is Kira." Raito stated.
"Yes, that means Higuchi is definitely Kira." L tilted his head, a thumb meeting his lips. "But that still doesn't tell us just how Kira is able to kill."
"True." Raito said, hmming. "Couldn't we keep surveillance on him?"
L lifted his hand, pushed a button and Higuchi came on screen. "Already done. I put Weddy to it. She broke into each of the members of Yotsuba's homes and placed surveillance cameras and bugs in every inch of the place."
"That way… if Higuchi snaps, and ends up killing before days are up, then we will witness his way of killing!" Raito suddenly got excited, wriggling away from Misa, who flopped onto his chair.
L kept his eyes on the screen, thumb to his lips as he spoke to Weddy over the microphone about the cameras. Raito rubbed his chin, thinking of how Kira could kill. It was obvious that Kira was killings criminals supernaturally somehow, but what did that prove? That it was ghosts doing this? Pfft, preposterous. That was utter stupidity.
Back at Head Quarters, the team were trying to figure out when to put their plan into action.
"It's been three days… that should be enough for her to believe that I'm Kira." Higuchi swirreled his wine in the glass in his hand.
"But, what if Misa was working with the police?" Came a dull, masculine voice.
"I doubt it. She's too stupid for that."
Back in the investigation room, Misa huffed at Higuchi, glaring at Ryuk, who was staring at Rem with a bored look on his face. He floated by Misa and stood next to Raito, who shivered and looked around him. Ryuk laughed at the boy.
Suddenly, L's cell phone rang, and he fished said object out of his pocket and answered it, holding it between his thumb and forefinger. "Hello?"
"L!"
L's eyes widened at the English. "Good evening."
"I thought you were coming over." Matt's calm voice came from the other end. "Mello is getting pissed, and you know what he is like with Near once Near gets him started."
"I am well aware, yes." L said quietly as Raito stared at him. "I do believe I said myself and the Task Force would visit Mello once our work load had cleared."
"And how long is that gonna take?"
"Ah, Mello…" L said, biting his thumbnail. "Sometime next week, I'd imagine." L pondered, ignoring Soichiro's death glare.
"Well… that's reasonable of you." The voice changed to Near's. "But hurry!" Not Mello's again. "That freak B is freaking me out."
"Well, duh, Mello. You pointed out he was a 'freak' so it'd only be natural that he 'freaked you out'." Near answered him. Then there was a crashing noise that L was sure the entire task force heard.
"L, I need to go. I think Near is… hanging outside the window. Bye!"
Transmission ended. L sighed.
What a week.
Ebony Dagger: Mello, why chocolate? Why not... cucumber?
