Light sighed as he exited his room, still fixing his tie. It was now 7:30 and he needed to leave soon if Watari was to drive him there and leave before Higuchi arrived. Why did I agree to this?
When Light walked down the stairs, almost contemplating falling down them so he couldn't go, he saw L standing slouched against the wall. Once he reached the final step, L moved quicker than Light thought possible. L grabbed his shoulders and slammed him into the wall, pinning him there.
"Are you Kira, Light-kun?!" said L, for the first time showing slight emotion in his voice… and was that emotion fear?
"Of course not!! Ryuzaki, how could you say that?!" light said, sounding hurt.
"But is it not possible you were before? After all, you did change drastically during your confinement. Maybe light-kun… forgot?" questioned L, now fisting Light's shirt, pulling him closer with each word.
"No… well maybe… But I wasn't!" Light was desperate for L to believe him, for Light to believe himself. I'm not Kira dammit…. And I never was!!! Light fought with himself over and over again, his head tearing itself apart in confusion trying to decide whether he, Light Yagami, was in fact Kira.
Light was pulled out of the war in his head by L prodding his shoulder. When Light looked up, he noticed he was slumped on the floor and his shoulder was quite sore. Probably from being shoved into a friggin' wall.
When L started to walk away Light scrambled to his feet and chased after him. "Wait, Ryuzaki!! I… I mean… Do I-"
"Yes Light, you do have to go. I need Weddy, and you need and you need Misa. So if you are ready, Watari is waiting in the car." With that Ryuzaki turned his back to Light, shoved his hands in his pockets and started to walk away.
"Whoever said I needed Misa? It's not as if I love her, I don't even like the girl." Light said this to himself, but with L's sensitive hearing, he heard him even from the distance between them.
"If you do not like Misa, why does she come her with the idea Light-kun is hers?"
"Because I never told her otherwise… I couldn't." "Does Light-kun like someone else?"
"No Ryuzaki, Light does not. I never really liked any of the girls I dated, I was simply bored and needed something to do."
"Light is insinuating that he does not like girls, but rather men. How intriguing."
"I do-"
"Light, if we do not hurry you will be late. Let's go."
The two males walked through the building in silence. Light was deep in thought, thinking about the plan and what would happen if he got caught. But as he was thinking, he got distracted when he looked at the detective walking swiftly ahead of him.
Even though L walks in a slouch, he still has a slight sway to his walk. As he walked after L, staring at his ass almost as if in a trance, L turned quickly to see the teen staring at him. And not his face either.
Light snapped his head up and rushed to the car, his face flushed so much he felt as though he was on fire. What the hell was I doing?! Why was I watching him, and how did I get caught?!
Light was yet again pulled out of his thoughts when he noticed the car door being pulled open and L slid into the seat beside him. Light felt his face burn up again as he watched L fasten his seatbelt and draw his legs up to his chest.
The car purred into life and they pulled out of the parking lot. Light watched as their surroundings passed in a hasty blur. When they were at the meeting place, Light hopped out of the car. He walked into the café and sat down, ordering himself a caramel Latte, having some comfort in knowing that the car speeding away into the night will be two blocks away but Watari will only be a couple of yards away so long as it wouldn't look suspicious.
Light glanced at his watch and seeing as it was 8:29, he began feeling butterflies in his stomach because he was so nervous. He watched the door intently, but let out an exasperated sigh when Higuchi walked through it, Misa and who Light presumed to be Weddy.
Light watched the man as he got closer and closer before sitting down next to Light. Weddy sat down next, but Misa threw herself at Light's seated form crying, causing the chair to fall backwards.
Light groaned in pain as he hit his head on the leg of the table while pushing the weight on his chest away from him. He said nothing to the stupid girl as he sat down again, facing Higuchi, the world wide known killer, Kira.
"Yagami Light, how nice it is to see you" Smiled Higuchi.
"yeah, what do you want me for? I already told you, I'm not Kira now and I never was."
"Oh is that right, well my 'friend' Ryuk tells me otherwise. Here, touch this…" he said, pulling out a black notebook from his bag by his feet.
"Alright, but I'm telling you, nothing is going to happen."
Light picked it up and as soon as he did he saw images of himself walking with Ryuk, writing the names and every other memory he had forgotten about him being Kira. He dropped the notebook and smirked towards Ryuk. The innocent twinkle in his eyes being replaced by a cold emptiness. These were not the eyes of Light Yagami. No, these were the eyes of a killer, the eyes of Kira.
"Higuchi, you have done well. I was right to pick you, but I do need to take Misa back to headquarters. But what shall I do with Weddy? L apparently needs her so I cant leave her behind if I take Misa as Weddy would be the main priority. But I can't take her because she knows I am and once was Kira. Maybe we should kill her?"
Light was glad Watari was too far away to hear what was being said because he couldn't have Watari hearing this conversation.
"You think you can kill me and get away with it?! L would suspect you had something to do with it and arrest you"
"Keep your voice down or I'll kill you now!" Higuchi's voice was dark and serious so Weddy kept quiet.
"Okay here's what we're going to do~" Light was cut off by Higuchi's hand signaling him to be silent.
"Light, what makes you think you're in control here?? Sure, you were Kira, but the reason I wanted to meet you was so I could kill you. I want to kill the real Kira!!"
Light stood up from his chair as if he was leaving, but instead of turning away, he turned towards Higuchi and threw his fist straight at his face. He hit his nose with a sickening crack and blood began to pour from the now broken nose. Soon fists were flying and feet were parting from the ground as the two men started fighting in the café while staff and some other customers tried to break them up.
Misa took this chance to grab the Death Note as Wedy backed away from the tables, trying not to get caught in the middle. Misa yet again equipped with the Shinigami eyes, opened the notebook and started writing.
40. Light's foot came into contact with Higuchi's 'manhood'
30. Higuchi punches an old man in the face because he tried to help him up.
20. Wedy spots Watari in the crowd and tries to get to him without drawing attention to either of them.
10. Light and Higuchi are finally separated; bleeding, panting and heavily marked.
0… Higuchi pulls out of the firm grasp pinning him against a wall, he grabs a bottle that was on the counter top and smashes the bottom of it. The people all back away and he charges towards Wedy who runs out of the café and onto the road where she gets knocked down by a speeding truck, dying instantly. Higuchi, seeing it was his fault, takes a shard of loose, broken glass from the bottle and drags it along his neck, letting the warm blood flow freely, like a crimson river.
The shocked civilians can do nothing as the events unfold before their eyes, except watch.
Light looked over at Misa who was doing a terrible job at acting scared, but no one was looking at her so it was okay. He then looked towards Watari, whose face showed no emotion, no give-aways as to what he was thinking.
Light slowly made his way over to the old man, acting as if he had no idea about what just happened. "W-Watari… What the hell just happened??!" Light stuttered, letting fear intentionally seep into his voice.
"That, light, I have no idea about. But I do know Ryuzaki is not going to be happy about losing Wedy and Kira. Get Amane-San and let's get back to headquarters." The old man furrowed his eyebrows, trying to make sense of what just happened.
As they made their way to the black vehicle, Light realized something.
"Watari, L came with us on the way here, where is he now?" Light questioned.
"L is in the car. We didn't want to alarm you, but we had a camera hidden on your jacket so we could see what you were seeing" said Watari, not missing the micro-expression of fear flashing his face. He may not be the world's smartest guy, like L, but he had studied facial expressions. He could tell any emotion you felt, even if you didn't know you were feeling it at the time.
Light slipped into the car after Misa, tensing his muscles when he saw L with a laptop and watching footage from just moments ago, and then staring, no, glaring at Light as he sat down.
Light did not say a word as Misa went on talking about how great it was to be free and be with her Light-chan. The only thing he could focus on, was L's cold stare watching his every move.
