Chapter 10: L's Plan
Watari's funeral was secret one. Everyone on the task force team showed. They had Watari's body was cremated. The people buried an empty coffin in an unmarked grave.
L stayed behind while everyone left to wait in the limo. L needed to say his good-byes to the guy who raised him. He needed to confine his feeling about the Kira case. L sat in his crouched position with Watari's ashes in his lap.
"You didn't deserve to die, Quillsh. What Light… I mean Kira did was unspeakable. I should have died that day with you. I felt it. I even heard my own funeral bells. I think Kira plans to let me suffer from the pain of losing you then kill me. I wish you were here. You were like a father to me. You're the only person who has ever cared for me and accepted me for who I am. Light did too." A faint blush came to L's cheeks.
"Quillsh, I've discovered that Kira isn't Light but Light's other half. Once Light found the notebook Kira split himself from Light and took over. I'm 100 percent sure that Light is Kira, but Light himself is innocent of all crimes. I want to save Light from Kira's grasp. Just going about doing it… I don't know. I need you help. If you could give me any sign on what to do, please do. Good-bye Quillsh Wammy. You'll forever be in my heart."
L stood up clutching the vase close to his chest. He turned and walked down the gravel path, leading to the Limo. Light, (I know this might get confusing but when Light is nice and caring he is Light, but when he is scheming and evil he is Kira) stood outside of it waiting L. When Light saw L's depressed face, he walked up to him and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"I'm so sorry that this happened. Watari was a good man." Light said into L's ear.
'Huh. Light? Why is Kira letting him out now?' L closed his eyes. 'I was right Light does care about me. Kira couldn't fake this.' "I know. He knew as well as any of us that there was a possibility of dying."
"Yeah. Come on." Light pulled away from L.
They got into the black limo. L sat next to the window, he looked out into the clear blue sky. Everyone looked at L with sympathy in their eyes. They all knew how close L was to Watari even if they didn't show it.
"Ryuuzaki?" Yagami-san asked.
"Yes." L didn't look at him. "What is it?"
"If you like you can stay at my house for a while so you don't have to go through this alone."
"Thanks for the offer but no. I prefer to be alone."
"Well at least come for dinner." Light chipped in. "Please, Ryuuzaki. It will be a huge relief knowing you wont do anything extreme."
L slowly turned his head to face Light. "Thanks for caring about me, but I don't want to. I want to be alone."
"You don't need to be alone right now. Please, L." Light loathed himself at his last words. He was begging and Light Yagami doesn't beg.
"Light-kun he said he wants to be alone. Don't force him to something he doesn't want to do." Matsuda said.
"It's all right Matsuda. If it will make light-kun feel better… then I'll go."
"Really?" Light asked. L nodded. "Thank you."

Half an hour later they arrived at the Yagami house. Yagami-san, Light, and L were they only one that got out of the limo. They entered the house and took off their shoes at the door. L didn't have too he wasn't wearing any.
L looked around the foyer nervously. He has never been inside of someone else's home before. Wammy's didn't count. That place was an orphanage, not a home. L hunched over more than he usually does and his eyes were wider as well. Light looked over his shoulder.
"You okay, Ryuuzaki?"
"I'm fine."
"Dad!" Sayu yelled from down the hall. "Light!" She ran up to the both of them and gave them a big hug.
"Dear, Light your home. How is ev-."
"Who is that?" Sayu pointed at L.
L tensed at Sayu's words. He moved closer to Light.
"Oh. This is Ryuuga." (I don't know how to spell the guys name, so bear with me.) Light moved to the side to revile L. "Ryuuga this is my sister Sayu and my mother, Sachiko."
L looked up at them. His face was blank. He didn't know how to handle this awkward situation. Sayu backed away from L.
"Ryuuga? That's not Ryuuga. Ryuuga is a handsome T.V star. He's just the creepiest guy I ever saw!"
L hunched down even further at the insult.
"Sayu!" Yagami-san said in a firm voice. "That's not nice. Apologize right now."
Sayu bowed at the waist. "I'm sorry Ryuuga-san." After that she ran off into the living room.
"Sorry. She knows better than that." Sachiko-chan said. "Dinner will be ready in thirty minutes. Please feel free to make yourself at home." She smiled then left.
"Light, take Ryuuzaki up to your room till dinner." Yagami-san said.
Light nodded then headed up stairs. L was in fast pursuit. Light opened up his door and let L inside first. Once L was in Light closed the door after himself.
L stood off to the side of Light's bed. His eyes were cast down at his feet. He didn't feel right being in this house. L didn't fit here. They were all well groomed and proper. He wasn't. He wasn't all well mannered, nor was he well groomed. He was the ugly duckling in a pond of swans.
Light gave L a quizzical look. He walked up and stood in front of him. He lifted up his chin so L was looking at him.
"L, what isn't?"
"Nothing." L looked away. "I'm fine."
"No you're not." Light moved L to the bed and sat him down. "You've been on the edge ever wince you entered this house. What is it?"
"I don't belong here. I want to be left alone. I don't need anyone's sympathy. I just want to clear my head."
"Can't you do that here… with me? Watari was like a grandfather to me. I know you pain. We can ta-."
"Why did you kill him?" L's eyes narrowed. His anger blocked out the whole split ego thing.
"Ididn't kill him. I was with you the whole time. I had no opportunity to do it if I was Kira."
"But you are Kira!" L stood up. " I saw that look you gave that Shinigami as you stood up that night. You were hiding something about that pile of sand. I'm 100 percent sure that you are Kira and another 100 percent that Kira is controlling you.
"Light-kun or Kira, who ever, you don't know what I'm going through. Talking about it won't make me feel any better. What will help is to be alone."
L stormed out of Light's room and out of the house. Light sat on his bed dumfounded. he couldn't believe L accused him of being Kira again and that he was controlling him. At the moment Kira pushed Light aside. A smile came to Kira's lips. He was going to kill L very soon. First he was going to let L suffer the death of Watari a little longer.
--
L walked the lonely streets. The bitter cold nipped at his exposed skin. L shoved his hands in his pockets. His heart was breaking. It was partially broken before, now it was breaking even more. His heart can't take much more pain and disappointment; losing Light to Kira would be the last straw. He would be a lost soul just wandering this earth.
He needed to fine away to kill Kira and spare light. The first thing L was sure of was getting Kira to confess on camera. L sighed.
"I need an idea. Watari, please give me an idea."
A strange gust of wind blew right into L's face. A soft whistle whispered into his ear. L closed his eyes. He knew this feeling. It was Watari. A smile came to L's face.
"Thank you, Watari."
L got his wish. Watari gave him the answer he wanted. All he had to do was time his plan just right. All L hoped for was Light coming through when he did be and for Kira to do what he does best.
