Chapter 7: Lover's true Kiss

It's been eight days since L had agreed to let Light test out to see if his feelings were true or not. Though it wasn't going as planed. They've gotten a new lead in the Kira case. Matsuda discovered that the Yotsuba group was using Kira to kill.

L had Wedy set up surveillance cameras and bug put up at the Yotsuba's meeting room. Everyone at the task force watched the group closely. Yotsuba discussed who they would kill and when. Light pretended to be L to get them to post-pone the killings for a month. So far it's working. They stopped the killing at the said time.

Alber's job was to get close to Yotsuba. Also his job was to give the dirt on L by L's command of course. They took it hook line and sinker. They paid him loads of money. Most of it went towards L and Watari who saved it up for the task force members.

Matsuda being the idiot that he is had to fake his own death. He over heard the Yotsuba group planning on killing someone in the company. So at a party that Misa proposed, he got "drunk" and did acrobatics on the balcony's ledge. He then slipped off. Yagami- san caught him on the floor below. Light and L had to pick "Matsuda's" body. From that point on Matsuda was dead to the world.

L had put Matsuda on a two probation period for what he done. L wanted Matsuda to learn from his stupid mistakes and why they can't be made in this investigation. Matsuda was shocked but never the less agreed. He was confined to HQ, on the 17th floor until the case was solved.

Everyone was relieved when Matsuda was off the case for a while. No more childish games or nonsense. Over all it was a whole lot more peaceful. Work was going at a steady pace. It was heaven until the two days were up.

"Ah! It's so great to be back!" Matsuda cheered as he walked into the room.

Both L and Light's eye twitched at his voice. The irritation was back and it was happy.

"Matsuda!" Yagami-san snapped at him.

"Sorry." Matsuda's head was low. "I'm just so glade to be back is all."

"Matsuda… you idiot." L whispered to himself. "Matsuda," L dropped the 'San' because he lost all respect for the man. "Mogi-san is now Misa-chan's new manger. On the count that you're dead." He sighed. "You have to stay here until we take down Yotsuba. You can't contact anyone outside this building. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir." Matsuda gave a bow.

"Good. Now… go get me some coffee."

Matsuda bowed again and went up stairs to make L's sugary coffee.

Later that night everyone went home. Both Light and L forced Matsuda, to go to his room. The only people who remain were Light, L, and in away Watari. He was watching them from surveillance cameras. Half an hour later, L told Watari to go ahead to bed. After all a 71 year old needs lots of rest.

So L and Light were alone. L was going over the first and second Kira's killings while Light was going over the third. The killings were opposite each other. The original Kiras killed criminals. The third, Yotsuba, seemed to kill only members of the company.

Light couldn't help but to think, when he was looking over the killings of the original Kiras, he felt the same way. He too wanted to ride the world of those heartless people. They deserve to die. The justice system right now isn't working. Murders and rapist are getting out way before they should be. Kira was doing the system justice in a way. He's ending the criminals in which they system wasn't.

Light shook the thoughts away. He was starting to think like Kira. He wasn't him. But little did Light know, Kira was feeding him his thoughts and feelings. Kira wanted to see Light struggle with right and wrong and to see L suffer between friendship and the justice system. Kira couldn't wait till L's time to come to an end. He'd get such pleasure watching him die before him and seeing Light wrapped with quilt. Kira was getting double pleasure and he loved it.

"Light-kun, are you ready to go to bed?" L asked right in Light's face.

"Huh? No. Why?"

"Light-kun looked like he was about to fall asleep." L sat back down in his chair.

"Oh. I was just thinking." Light looked to the side.

"Care to share?"

Light shook his head. "No. Have you discovered anything yet? All I can get is that one of those seven is a higher up. It's also far from the first and second Kira's killings."

"I know. The question is who. Which one of them is it? Why are they doing it? This person had to of heard of Kira and how they kill," L put his thump up to his bottom lip. "So why isn't he continuing? They are making it obvious that the killings are different. The original Kiras killed any kind of criminal… Yotsuba kills for power. It seems like they want to get caught, but making it very hard. Hum."

"I see what you're saying Ryuuzaki. The killings are very different. Didn't after two weeks of Misa's and my confinement they killing of criminal happen again?"

"Yes, they did. That's the one piece of the puzzle that's confusing. Him or they did continue with killing criminals, but they soon seemed to realize that they could use it to their advantage." L cocked his head.

"We'll figure this out soon enough." Light yawned. "UH. Guess it's time to get some sleep. We'll continue this tomorrow." Light stood up.

"We can't tomorrow." L too stood up.

"What, Why?"

"Watari and I need to do something tomorrow. Of course you'll have to come but you wont be going in where we will be. No," L held up a hand to stop any questions. "I can't tell you anything."

Light didn't press the issue. He didn't want to agitate L like he had before. Together they went up to their room. Both got changed into their night attire. Then they crawled into bed. L grabbed his laptop and started on some mini cases. Light laid down on his side so he could look at L.

Ever since L had agreed to let Light test out to see if his feelings were true or not, his hormones have been going crazy. He's been itching to shove L up against the wall and have a full-blown make-out session. Of course he had to push his feeling aside, also he didn't want to get L mad or scarred. Soon Light couldn't hold back his urges any longer. He needed to do something, anything.

Light couldn't take it any more. He closed L's laptop and pushed it aside. Light then pushed L down onto the bed as he got on top of him. L looked at him in shock. Light only smiled as he lend in close. In mere seconds their lips were locked together. L started to push Light off of him. That didn't work; it only made Light stop from kissing.

"Light-kun get off of me." L now tired to wiggle out from under him.

"No. I've been holding back for more than a week. I couldn't take it anymore. You said that I could do what I wanted. I want to do this."

"I did say that, but I'd like to know what and when you're going to do something. As you know I have limits to what I'll let you do. This is one of my limits. I don't like to be pinned down."

"Well you just have to deal for right now." Light lend back in, cutting L off from saying anything further.

Light's tongue brushed the bottom of L's lip. When L didn't give what Light wanted, he bit it instead. L opened his mouth to let out a gasp. Light took this to his advantage. He shoved his tongue into L's mouth. Light explored every inch of it.

L's body started to betray him. He started to kiss Light back. Light smiled at this. L wrapped his arms around Light's neck. Light slowly moved his hands down L's sides till he came to the tail of L's shirt. He grabbed it and started to pull.

L arched his back in shock. He pulled away from Light. Light just cocked his head at L's actions.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?" Light played innocent.

"I'd like to keep my clothes on. That's enough for tonight."

Light sighed. "Alright." Light got off of L and laid back down on his side of the bed. "Thank you."

L looked at Light. "For what?"

"For returning the kiss." Light turned away from L.

A blush came to L's face.
