When the others had returned with their findings, they were startled to see L somberly sitting. his legs crouched beneath him hands loosely clasped before his face as he watched the live video feed of the doctor attending to Light.
Soichiro approached the screen and L.
"Who is that, what is wrong. What happened L?" But there was no menace in the elder man's voice.
"Yagami san, would you perhaps take some tea with me, in private?" L asked his eyes having never left the screen.
"Ah… sure"
"Watari could you please keep an eye on Raito kun and the good doctor. Yagami san and I will be taking tea in the green room"
"Yes L. As Soichiro followed the detective from the room, L made no eye contact with the others.
They walked into a comfy looking sage colored room and L closed the door behind them, he motioned for Soichiro to take a seat. As L poured some southern style sweet tea for them.
"How sick is he L?" L's formerly downcast eyes rose to meet the chiefs.
"He is running a high fever, and he can't seem to keep any food down at the moment. The doctor has assured me that it is just the common flu and he will be over it in a few days.
Soichiro let out a long-winded sigh of relief but L broke in again.
"Yagami san? How devoted are you to bringing Kira to justice."
"L you should know, I've all but given my life to this project."
"Yes, but would you give your son's?" Yagami san froze, not this again.
"L, I don't know why you for a minute can think to incriminate Light for killing thousands of people. I even pointed a gun at him point blank, he did nothing. My son is not Kira!"
"Listen very carefully to me Yagami san. We know that Kira's deaths are done with some mysterious power, correct?"
"Yes"
"So then it would be safe to presume that we are at a loss for what kind of powers Kira possesses. Raito Yagami was detained for 50 days. The first few weeks of the detainment, yielded no death from Kira. This in itself would have been proof enough for a court system. But after that, the killings started anew. Why? He refrained from killing you in that car during the mock execution. But was it because he is innocent or because, as I believe, he has lost his memories and the powers of Kira?"
"This is stretching the bounds of sanity L."
"And Kira undeniably has stretched the bounds of physics with his method of killing. There are several pieces to the puzzle missing Yagami san, and because I can not be sure if this is the original Kira's doing or some other force at play, that I ask for your cooperation. Your complete trust."
"Why L, why should I place my complete trust in you, you believe my son is a mass murderer. Something that I cannot believe myself. And you ask me to trust you? You are so fixated on my son being Kira that I can't L, now can I? Light needs someone to protect his rights."
"Yagami san. I meant it that your son was and is my very first friend. I need you to trust me that I won't do anything other than what I must to find out what is going on. I must find the source of Kira's powers so that it cannot be used ever again. But there is one way I can prove to you that I am indeed trustworthy when it comes to your son's life."
Soichiro ran a hand through his peppered hair.
"And what would that be?"
"I promise that even after I prove that your son is Kira, I will not turn him in to the authorities."

Light lay on the bed with a cool damp washcloth over his forehead. H was shivering uncontrollably lost in the throws of a nightmare he could not wake from due to the sedative. L And Yagami san walked into the room. Soichiro looked exhausted and his eyes were red.
The tall dark haired doctor stood and straightened his jacket.
"Ryuzaki san? And…"
"Soichiro Yagami, the boys father." The rather formal man smiled and bowed.
"Ah yes, well, Light suffers from a torn cornea, thankfully he missed his retina, you will need to administer antibiotic eye drops twice a day for three weeks. It was a pretty bad tare. He will need to keep the eye patch I gave him on for at least that amount of time. I also gave him some eye drops for the pain but they will ware off soon. Corneal tares are extremely painful so he might find the need to rub his eyes, but you must stop him from doing that. It could lead to permanent damage I left enough of the numbing drops for a week, after that I would like to see him again."
"Of course."
"I checked his medical history so he shouldn't have any complications with any other drugs that have been administered. Also your…butler here has mentioned that Light is suffering from slight hysteria due to stress? If you would like I can recommend a few doctors for him to talk to."
"That would be very helpful doctor if you could just leave their contact information with Watari, I would be very grateful." L replied, not intending to call any of the numbers.
"If you have any questions or if his eye becomes overly irritated, don't hesitate to call from when you told me that the sedative was administered he should be waking shortly. The restraints I brang should help if he become hysterical again…" The doctor looked nervous for a moment.
"Thank you very much Dr. Tang." The doctor and Watari departed.
"You mean to tell me that he did this to himself?" Yagami san flinched as he saw the scratches adorning his son's face.
"Yes. I have the video feed from when the incident occurred. I think that it is imperative that you witness it."
L clicked a few keys on his already open laptop and a looped video depicting Light rising from the bed and beginning to claw at his eyes ending in the repeated statements of 'I am justice. Justice is blind' whilst he wrestled with L and threw a chair at the window. Yagami san was left with a bitter taste in his mouth from the recording. He looked at his son who was beginning to stir.
L and Lights father immediately went to restrain the sleepy youth.
"Dad? What are you doing?" L shot a warning glance at Yagami san.
"You hurt your eye pretty badly son. You can't touch your face for a while."
"Oh ok." Light replied his tone near child like in its innocence. Yagami san turned away from them.
"L, I agree to your terms. Please take good care of my son" A deep fear filled the groggy teen. Soichiro looked down at his son and ran a hand through the orange honey locks. He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled his son up into a hug. Cradling his head, careful for his eye.
"I love you Light. No matter what. I don't believe that any of this is your fault. I can't believe that." Light squirmed in his father's arms. He looked at a sad looking L over his father's shoulder.
"What? What is going on L?"
"You should get some rest Raito kun." L said. Light's father laid him back onto the mattress and smoothed his hair from his face, grimacing at the eye patch and scratches.
"Yes Light, get some rest." Light reluctantly closed his eyes and lay more comfortably on the pillow. He was very tired after all. He could hear L and his father exchange words across the room. He couldn't make any of it out. He heard the door open and shut, and then he heard L make a call to Watari. He felt the dip in the bed and opened his eye to see L with his back to Light, holding his head in his hands.
"L? What's the matter? Come to bed." Light rose into a sitting position and reached out his arms for the detective.
L turned and saw this and fell into Light's embrace. Feeling guilty for again taking advantage of Light and his current state.
"Shhh shhhh, tell me about it." Light soothed, his hands smoothing out the unruly hair as he held the detective's head to his chest.
L knew that this was nothing more than a manifestation of Light's recent bout of insanity. But the soothing and caring embraces sparked a seed of hope within his heart.
Surely Light could not easily maintain a façade for caring while in his current mental state? So then Light must at least have some part of him that is good and nurturing.
Before L had thought it an act. But now…
"I believe I have found the third Kira, but the investigation team demands proof before they will allow me to make a move. I have people collecting evidence. But right now all progress has stalled. And… And I'm worried about you." L looked up at Light who looked startled at L's last statement.
"Why would you be worried about me? As long as you're with me I will be fine…. I love you L." The detective stopped breathing a moment. Light noticed the detective's hesitation. "I really truly do."
"Light, I… I love you too." The words made the youth grin and hold L tighter to him.
"I know." Light said as he lay more comfortably, entwining his legs with his lover's. L quickly wiped away the tear that fell from his eye.
L craned his neck and sweetly placed a chaste kiss on Light's chin. Then a more passionate one on his lover's lips.
Light's lips parted easily. As he ran his hand up and down L's back with soothing touches becoming electric under the pads of his fingertips. L pulled himself up and removed his shirt as well and then fell back into the embrace, relishing the feel of their warm skin and warm limbs entwined.
L kneaded the flesh beneath his fingers, and marveled. He knew an especially erogenous zone for Light was his obliques and the inner thigh's around the gracilis, and as he licked the taut skin that covered these areas, Light let out a low and throaty moan.
Light sighed and massaged L's neck and behind his ears. Each touching and exploring only newly, but expertly mapped physiques.
L's hand found Light's from where it lay petting his nape and he entwined the finger's before bring it to his mouth and kissing then licking. He took Light's hand in both of his and turned it to kiss his palm, he removed the bandages to see the wrists well on their way to healing.
He kissed the bruises gently and licked along his pulse looking up at light once again mournfully.
Light sucked in a breath and grabbing the detectives shoulder's implored him to move up for a passionate kiss. They fondled and kissed for a long while. Cherishing every inch of each other's body, suddenly Light's eyes flashed with something, and his kissing became forceful and dominating. His mouth Ravished L's own with need and hunger. Rolling them over so that Light was above L. His arms anchoring L to the mattress.
He tore away from L. Glazed eyes staring down at the detective. Until his mouth connected once again to L's Scapulae, sucking and nipping, then leaving a wet trail down to his nipples he fondled and pinched them to pertness.
Satisfied this task was done he trailed once again down to the dark treasure trail placing soft kisses everywhere his mouth hovered. He licked tentatively the base of L's organ and added pressure.
Their passion was greater than it had been on any other night. And L drank it up with a sense of foreboding. As he watched Light stare off into the corner while he smoothed his flank and drove into him.
Both soon sated and quivering from the overload, they held each other tightly.
The lay entwined a while, breathing heavily. L carding his fingers through Lights soft hair. But something was wrong with Light. He kept chewing on his lip and clenching his fists.
"What's wrong Light?"
"Nothing, I guess I'm just tired."
"I noticed you grew rather controlling in the middle of our love making, can I ask the reasoning behind it."
Light grimaced.
"No… I was just well... you know."
L pushed himself up and made his way to the side of the bed. He lifted his discarded shirt and searched through the collar.
"Perhaps you were looking for this?" Light held the small silver key aloft. Light's eyes fixed on the prize that he had indeed, been searching for. "I was under the distinct impression that you were looking for something." L shrugged. But Light turned away indifferently staring at that same corner he had earlier been fixated on.
"L, I'm not Kira."
"I'm not so sure."
"You should have let me blind myself."
"Why do you say that?" But Light let out a dry and hollow laugh.
"Oh no reason, just dreams and whimsy." He rolled onto his back, his head still turned away, not taking his eyes from the figment that stood in the corner of the room. Its incessant grin baring all the jagged teeth of Light's subconscious.
