Chapter 4
Contrasting Colors
"New information has come from one of my agents." L said before shuffling towards his desk. Light followed behind him silent and withdrawn his gaze on the floor. The Kira investigation team had been told that he was alive, but not how long he'd been dead. To them he'd had a heart attack and was somehow resuscitated, part of Light's punishment would be helping them find B as well as the death notes- he would have to grit his teeth and bear being praised when really he didn't deserve it. The rest of his punishment could come later he supposed, but he'd resigned himself to it; had told L everything he knew about the notes and the shinigami.
"L…this can't be real." Mogi said putting down the paper Watari had just handed him.
That was another part of his punishment Light supposed- Light couldn't even bear to look at Watari after everything he'd done.
"There is a human being out there that is capable of killing from miles away without leaving evidence, Mogi, in fact we've been discussing demons and mind control- what's not to believe any more?" Ide said rubbing his face tiredly. After Light's families death the man seemed to feel he had a certain amount of responsibility towards this case, as though he could save Light some how- it made him want to scream.
L held out a lollipop to Light who frowned at it but accepted without fighting. If L thought he could kill Light through feeding him massive amounts of sugar than so be it, it sounded like something the quirky detective would try and at the moment Light sincerely wanted to die.
"Eat Light-kun." L said glancing at him and ignoring the others. Light shrugged and popped the candy into his mouth before following L to his seat. He wavered when faced with his own familiar desk though. "Light-kun should sit; he is not yet healthy enough to be standing for great lengths of time." L said not bothering to glance over at him. Light sat down quietly. The others glanced at each other and threw him looks of pity before continuing.
"A shinigami L?" Aizawa said incredulously. L turned to the computer and a series of images began to appear.
"This is not the first time this has happened; there is an object, a 'death note' as it is called in which the name of a person is written…"
Light tuned L out as he steadily educated the others on death notes and shinigami, the various mentions of it throughout history. The way he spun it made it sound as though the notes were probably stumbled across in some archeological dig before traveling from person to person like a disease.
"It is possible that this is how B was able to make Light,-kun and Misa-Misa do his bidding. He had the death note and would kill Light-kun's family if Light-kun did not agree to do as he was told. It is my hypothesis that Light-kun at one point realized what the book was that he was writing the names in was doing and tried to turn himself in to make B think that Light-kun had been captured by me. Light-kun waited until he believed himself to be useless B and gave up the note thusly forgetting everything in exchange for his family's safety." L said evenly.
Light felt the eyes boring down on him and shrank back into his seat.
"But then why would B choose to kill the Yagami family?" Aizawa said quietly.
"Because Light-kun rescued me." L said causing Light to flinch. "This angered B but he was unable to do anything to hurt Light-kun until he woke up from his coma, instead B focused his attention on the Yotsuba group." L said with a nod.
"Why would he do that though? If his main goal was to kill criminals why would he suddenly go corporate?" Ide demanded.
"Because B is like a child, and I suspect that killing criminals was only the start of a larger more elaborate game, B enjoys puzzles and mysteries, he enjoys chaos and thrives on manipulating others. Everything up until now has been a game to see what he is capable of doing. But the thing he adores most of all is gaining attention from people like Light-kun and myself, people who are abnormally intelligent." He said with a nod.
"You seem to already know a lot about B." Matsuda said frowning. "The rest of us don't even know what he looks like." He added. L nodded and clicked his mouse causing an enlarged image of B to appear on the screen. Light couldn't help it; he scooted closer to L and grasped his upper arm glaring at the image on the screen. The others gaped at the screen for a long moment.
"Uh…I don't suppose you're related?" Aizawa said slightly.
"B is a biological clone of myself, think of him as my evil twin." L said quietly. "You don't need to know anything aside from that and what I've told you, except that obviously he is dangerous, very, very dangerous and very, very intelligent." He said with a nod. The others frowned but they were used to the red tape by now and without Light's father backing them they weren't going to kick up a fuss. They knew L well enough to simply trust his word and it made Light feel ill to know that L was lying to them because of him. "Details of B are in the folder I've given you." L said quietly. Light glanced over when L's hand simply decided to settle on top of his head fingers sifting through his hair. Light frowned and tilted his head trying to dislodge the hand but L tightened his grip instead. Light grit his teeth, fine, whatever. He relaxed and glanced at L who smiled faintly before resuming his petting.
"But if this is true then Light-kun was Kira." Mogi said staring hard at Light who stiffened and glanced at L.
"And yet he, like Misa-Misa has no recollection of being Kira. No in fact I believe that 'kira' is in fact the Shinigami. My agent has in formed me that there are two shinigami that we know of, one attached to each death note. The one shinigami is obsessed with Misa-misa for some reason; however the second has no such attachments, in fact the second shinigami fits Kira's profile almost exactly. All this time we have been assuming that Kira was one single person, however Light-kun myself and my agent have come to the conclusion that Kira is in fact two people." L said his hand finally retreating from Light's hair.
"B and the shinigami?" Ide guessed his eyes scanning over the words on the file L had set up for them. "Yes I can see it now; B was created to be the next L wasn't he? Clones of you to replace you should anything happen to you." He said darkly his eyes lifting. L simply stared at him for a long moment. "If he was created to be you he would have a strong sense of justice, the same intelligence and the same cold view of the world- he would even be childish like you." He said calmly. "Which fits the profile perfectly." L nodded slowly.
"The experiments were a failure though, B was half formed and in immense psychological distress he tried to become more like L to prevent being terminated however we could see that he was unstable." Watari said his voice calm and even. "It was never our intention to hurt anyone; in fact we believed that we were creating life, making leaps and bounds in the medical field. Imagine if you could have as many extra livers as you need on hand through science? A perefect genetic match." He said mildly.
"Instead we created B." L said quietly. "He was too smart to simply place in a mental facility and expect him to stay there, and too damaged physically to just ignore him. He was also human, and in agony, we had doctors that fixed him but the process was long and painful despite the medicine and I fear B's already unstable mind couldn't handle it." L said shaking his head.
"And he escaped? It says here that he was later discovered in America as a mass murderer and then imprisoned- but it says he was killed by Kira, how is that possible?" Aizawa said looking up from his file.
"A set up, he was made to look as though he died with all the other inmates and then secreted away out of prison." L said scooting closer to Light who leaned closer despite himself. Light felt eyes on him but didn't bother with them; L….L was everything now, all he knew, all he could know, because if he knew anything else he would destroy again. He would hurt others again, and he would risk L.
L was all that he had.
And it didn't rankle as much as he'd thought it would after he'd first admitted his crimes. Maybe because he had no pride left, how could he when all he could see were his mother and sister's bodies, the gaping wide mouthed horror of his father- his breath hitched slightly and he stood suddenly.
"Light-kun?" L said quietly. Light rubbed his face tiredly and sat back down.
"Sorry." He said not looking at anyone in particular.
"Watari tea?" L said mildly. Light flinched.
"No-no its fine I can get it-" the mere thought of Watari forced to look after him on L's whim made him feel like crying.
"I'm afraid that is not possible Light-kun." L said freezing him in his tracks. "You are not to leave the room that I am in; if you find this difficult to remember I will get the cuffs again." He said mildly his dark eyes lifting and landing on him like chips of ice. Light felt his fingers twitch slightly and the shift reminded him again of what he'd done, what those hands were capable of. He moved back to his chair and held out his hands to L.
"L…what is the meaning of this?" Aizawa demanded stiffly.
"Light cannot reconcile himself to the possibility that he helped Kira at one point even if he cannot remember it. He has requested that I keep an eye on him to prevent him from being manipulated again." L said distractedly. Light maintained his position hands in the air in offering. L could chop them off and Light would be glad for it.
"Ah." Again he could feel the looks of pity but they only made him flinch in shame. A hand settled against his cheek and L seemed quite suddenly right in front of him his large eyes serious.
"No Light-kun, I will take care of you later." He said softly his voice sending shivers of curiosity down Light's spine.
"L he needs help, not imprisonment, he needs a therapist!" Ide snapped. L's eyes darkened and turned slowly.
"Light needs whatever I give him; he also needs to remain hidden from B." L said his voice monotonous and yet chilling at the same time.
"L! The kid has been to his families' murder scene!" Mogi snapped. Light flinched and sank further into himself. His fault- all his fault- everything was his fault he was supposed to protect them, supposed to take care of them!
"Light-kun is now my responsibility." L's voice cut through the chaos like a knife. "His safety and his well being are mine to worry about." L said darkly his voice foreboding. L would take care of everything. Light felt his breathing ease.
"He's right." Light said his voice gruff. "L is the one person I could not hurt I trust him to keep me from hurting anyone else." He breathed. "I've already told him that he can do what he wants, I won't fight it." He said swallowing. It was the least he deserved. There was a soft clink of china beside him and he stared in wonder at the steaming tea and the small plate with his medication and three small biscuits. "Thank you." He whispered. He supposed that this was some from of punishment as well. He took his medicine without fighting and sipped the tea surprised that it calmed him. He supposed that it had become a sort of ritual in the last year, drinking tea was becoming comforting. L smirked a small creepy smirk and Light frowned eyeing him suspiciously.
"Watari would not have put velum in your tea if he did not forgive you Light-kun." He said smirking. Light flinched and turned is gaze to where Watari was already retreating from the room.
Forgive him?
How?
He was irredeemable!
L sighed as Light's hands began to shake.
It was going to be a long day.

B stared at the Shinigami blankly.
"What do you mean he's alive?" He whispered. He'd wanted to test Kira, wanted to make certain that he wasn't simply some mortal masquerading as a god. So he wrote Yagami Light's name in the death note. He was disappointed when Yagami died but decided that it was alright, Kira would have wanted him to continue his work.
"I mean what I said, Light-kun is alive." Ryuuk said with a shark-like grin. Of course he wasn't about to tell this crazy little human that he had known that Light would survive. It was much more fun watch the mortal struggle. Light-kun always provided him with the most amusing things, he supposed he couldn't even hold a grudge against Light-kun now; he'd paid the price for trying to screw Ryuuk over. Giving up the death note che! He never thought he'd see the day. But now Light-kun was all broken and wimpy cuz' his family was dead. Now that had been fun. Ryuuk had thought the B guy would just take the death note from Light-kun's sister, he never expected him to kill them all! Hehehe, he just hoped Light-kun never figured out that Ryuuk had been a part of it all; the kid could hold a grudge.
"He is alive- Kira is god!" B said reverently.
"Well yeah I guess so." Ryuuk reasoned. After all in a couple hundred years Light-kun would become a shinigami and Ryuuk knew for the fact that Light-kun had written down enough names to keep him going for a couple thousand years before he needed a new death note. It was strange though that Light-kun wasn't using his shinigami eyes, without them he couldn't see Ryuuk or Rem though both of them had visited at one point- Idiot Rem had gone and fallen in love with her human, now Misa-misa was married and couldn't remember Rem at all. Ryuuk chuckled as he wondered how long it would take for the marriage to go sour and Rem to sacrifice herself to save Misa-chan.
"He must be angry with me…I've messed everything up haven't I? Fooooolish!" The man said hitting himself on the head violently. "I must atone! But how!?" The man looked around frantically as though the bare hotel room could give him any answers, eventually though his gaze landed on the death note and a slow grin spread across his face.
Ooooh…this might be fun!

"When Watari found me," L said quietly his voice breaking the silence.
It had been tense and quiet ever since he and L had slipped out of the main meeting room and had returned to their room. After Light's episode with the mirror L had moved them to a new room which L had assured him would withstand Light's destructive tendencies. Light hadn't even blinked when L pulled out the handcuffs and bound him to the bed frame. L had given him a book, climbed onto the other side of the bed and proceeded to work from his laptop, the clicking of the keyboard the only sound in the room for nearly two hours before L spoke. "I was hiding in the ruins of a building." L continued. "My family had been poor, had died off without anyone caring that they had children. We lived for a month in the apartment with their corpses before my older brother shot himself with my father's gun. Then it was just me, and one other brother. He stopped talking, stopped eating, and eventually stopped breathing, and then it was just me." L said quietly. "It was so cold that their bodies didn't rot right away, the smell didn't alert the neighbors, and it wasn't until they came looking for the rent that they realized what happened." Light said his fingers clicking away without hesitance. "There was no orphanage for a boy like me, I was out on the streets starving within a week, and then I found those ruins. There was a place that was small enough that I could stay there and keep warm. I stole a couple of fur coats from a fancy hotel, I stole food, I stole to survive." L said softly. "But then they came after me, or they found me, either way, I killed them." He admitted freely. "When Watari found me there were twelve bodies lined up. I was smart, a prodigy, and I had used my intelligence to survive. Watari gave me a second chance." L said blinking slowly before turning to Light who was staring at him with wide horrified eyes.
"L-"
"Do not speak." L said his eyelids drooping slightly. Light felt his jaw snap shut. "I have thought this through carefully Light-kun and I have come to my decision." He said unfolding himself and crawling closer to Light his hand reaching around and cradling the back of Light's scull as he moved his face closer to Light's. "In order for you to pay for your crimes Kira, you will spend the rest of your life by my side. If I die you will continue to help Watari and whoever I choose as my successor, this will continue until you die, you will help catch criminals and bring them to justice until the day that you die and you will not ever pick up another of these death notes." He said quietly his voice firm and controlled. Light felt his throat tighten as he nodded silently. "For the rest of my life you will remain by my side." L demanded.
"Yes." Light agreed. L's fingers relaxed and Light's breath caught in his throat. "Why L?" He whispered. "You should kill me, torture me, throw me in a cell and leave me to rot- this, working with you is like a dream come true." He admitted with a thick bitter laugh. L cocked his head to the side.
"Because I'm selfish and I want you." L said easily. Light blinked.
"What?" Light whispered.
"You told me that you didn't feel guilty for killing those criminals, to you it was just a game, another responsibility. I must admit that being L is much the same, I solve crimes and catch criminals, but it is a game to me." He said smiling a thin creepy smile. "I've caught you now Kira and you are mine to do with as I like."
Light swallowed thickly but before he could even form a coherent thought L was swooping forward and kissing him. This time though it wasn't chaste, it was claiming and Light gasped at the intensity of it before a hand cupped him through his pants making him groan lost suddenly in the sensation.
What?
What was this?
Light had all but been sure that he was asexual, he'd never felt like this-
He whimpered as L grasped the chain connecting the cuffs and dragged him against his chest. Light found that he had to fold into L; L was hunched over and twisted to the side leaving a niche that was just big enough for Light to be pressed into. It was warm and overwhelming and Light found himself feeling things that no one had been able to inspire in him before. L pulled away suddenly and Light panted in confusion and lust.
"Say it Kira, say my name." L breathed against his lips. Light couldn't help the whimper that escaped him.
"L I can't- I could never if I hurt you-" L gripped his chin and his dark eyes bore into his.
"Trust me Kira trust that I will keep you from ever writing another name down in the book." He whispered. Light grit his teeth. Trust him? Trust L?!
L pulled away suddenly leaving him feeling bereft and confused.
"I will protect you Light, and I will own Kira both of you will be mine, but not until you trust me." He said turning back to his laptop as though nothing had happened. Light sat there confused, bewildered and wanting for nearly an hour.
Why had L kissed him?
Twice
His mind supplied unhelpfully. Light swallowed. He hadn't even thought about it before, not in a realistic sense. There had been too much going on for him to give L's oddly clingy behavior much thought. Just what did L want from him? Sex? Light swallowed slightly at the thought. He'd done it with guys before, to get what he wanted, but only as a last resort. Sex changed people, made them obsessed and twice as frightening as before. He'd never understood it beyond that he could get almost anyone to do almost anything through sex.
But this was different.
L was the only friend he'd ever known, the only person that challenged him and drew him in, he was quirky and amusing, selfish and childish yet there was something old about him. Something wise and omniscient. And he'd almost lost that. The very thought of L trapped in B's grips made him angry, the thought of L dead because of him…Light found himself shifting forward and pressing against L's back. The man paused his typing briefly and glanced at Light before returning to whatever it was he was doing.
Light realized then that he had to learn to live with this one solid truth: he couldn't live without L.
L had wriggled himself into Light's life and had become a shadow that he couldn't bear the thought of losing. L could do what Light had never been able to do. Light had challenged him and challenged him over and over again as Kira but L always won.
L won.
He smiled faintly.
It was bitter and tired.
He was bitter and tired.
"You win." He said softly. "L…Lawliet." He breathed.
He watched as a thin slow smile spread across L's face.
"Of course I do Kira-kun." He said snatching his hand back and dragging Light into another searing kiss. Light felt the fire ignite and spread through him making him hiss and twist closer. No one had ever done this to him before, why was L so different? He sank into the kiss fighting briefly for dominance simply because it was in his nature not to give in but in the end L won, he always won, and there was something comforting in the thought.
"Ahem." L paused his mouth still attached to Light's as he cracked an eye open and gazed at the computer screen. Light flushed but the hand around his neck tightened making him freeze the moment he even thought to pull away. L's lips parted from his slowly and his expression grew annoyed.
"Watari." He said frowning.
"I'm sorry to intrude L but I think you should see this." Watari said before a second window appeared on the screen.
"-wide panic as criminals from all over the world are dying of heart attacks. Sources say that just before death each criminal was found writing a gruesome message on the walls of their cells, that message is; ALL HAIL KIRA. Authorities are unsure of why the infamous serial killer Kira is suddenly-"
Light felt a shiver run down his spine as the words drifted and all he could hear was a rush of blood in his ears and the sound of Sayu's laughter, his mother's congratulations and the timbre of his father's voice as he entered the house-
He gasped as L slapped him suddenly the blow ringing through his head.
Light swallowed and lifted a hand touching the reddening spot tenderly.
"Light-kun must not panic." L said firmly before uncurling himself from his position. "Watari?" He said calmly. "The information is already been put into the drop box L." Watari said before switching off. L stood and closed the laptop before grabbing the chain and yanking Light forward until he was sprawled across L's lap cradled against his chest. Light could smell the mild soap L used and the slightest hint of the strong aftershave L preferred. The soft cotton of his shirt pressed against his cheek and he swallowed as he felt his heart thud. "Kira, think, why would B react like this?" L demanded. Light swallowed thickly and closed his eyes. He would much rather just lay here and forget that it was happening, that hundreds of people were dying because of him. L grasped his chin and jerked it up meeting his eyes with a cold flat gaze that made Light's mind kick into gear.
"If it was my death making him do it then he would have started the moment it was confirmed." Light said quietly. "If not t-then he must be trying to appease me." He said his eyes closing tightly. L tugged sharply again on his chin and Light took a deep breath. "H-He must have been testing me, to see if I was really a god. If I wasn't then I would die, which he obviously assumed would happen-"
"B is experimenting, yes that makes sense." L said with a nod. "But you are alive, and he must know that some how." He said frowning. Light frowned.
"Ryuuk could have told him, the two shinigami are the only ones that know that I can't die now." He said shaking his head. "But he wouldn't unless it benefits him somehow, he doesn't take sides, he just does stuff for his own amusement." Light said quietly.
"Yet B somehow knows that you are alive." L stated his grip relaxing slightly his thumb stroking over Light's Adam apple. Light let out a breath and relaxed slowly.
"I don't know how, I'm sorry." He said softly.
"Are you?" L asked glancing down at him. Light frowned and nodded.
"Yes, I want to help you L." He said softly. L's hand tightened around his throat again.
"No Kira, when we are like this, when you are telling the truth I want you to use my name." L said. "To remind you that I am putting my trust in you're word as much as you are trusting me to keep you from being Kira."
Light grit his teeth and nodded.
What could he do?
The truth, however much he might dislike it, was that he was completely dependant on L now. L had the power to expect this sort of thing because Light couldn't go back to the stupid boy that had lost everything to death because he was bored.
"Lawliet." He said softly. L stared at him for a long moment before sighing.
"It's no use, I still don't trust you're word Kira, but that will come in time." He said with an assured nod before turning away thoughtfully. "What if you lost some of your abilities when you gave up ownership of the death note?" He said frowning.
"Ryuuk said I would still be able to see him because I had absorbed the death note and would become shinigami- I saw Rem after all." Light said frowning. "Yes but that was before you ate the apple." L mused. "Perhaps the apple signified more than flesh like we assumed." He mused.
"The death note for immortality leaving me in a permanent state of infinity." Light said nodding.
"And you cannot destroy the death note so you cannot destroy Light-kun." L said softly.
"And the apple which never rots." Light said quietly. "Ryuuk said that they were rare in his world but that the trees never stopped producing them and they never died even if they fell off- I used to hate when he'd ramble on about apples." Light said shaking his head.
"Yes it is quite annoying." L said his lips quirked up slightly. "However it may be helpful to us now." Light nodded slowly ignoring the jibe before a thought came to him.
"My eyes!" He gasped sitting up suddenly only to have L slam him back down into his lap.
"Please be still Light-kun I quite like you where you are." L mused. "Now what about your eyes?" L asked tilting his head to the side.
"The other shinigami Rem, she said that I will eventually become a shinigami. I already have Shinigami eyes, but I haven't been using them." He said frowning.
"Why not?" L demanded sharply. Light winced.
"Because I don't want to know when you are going to die." Light said turning his gaze away because it was too hard to hold L's gaze, to admit that to his face.
"The thought of me dying pains you- is it because of your family?" L demanded causing Light to flinch.
"You are my friend L-Lawliet." Light said softly. L's eyes narrowed and he draggled Light even closer.
"You're friend Light-kun? You kiss you're friends? Do you let them hold you like this?" He hissed his hand tilting Light's neck back and to the side so that he could whisper into Light's ear. "Do you let them fuck you Kira?" He breathed making Light's heart thunder in his chest and his cheeks flush as the rest of him twisted in pleasure.
"What are you doing to me?" Light breathed. "No one made me- they couldn't make me want this, why you?" He demanded suddenly wondering if there was more to this than simple chemistry. "Is this a drug?" He whispered struggling against his body's response. L pulled back a bit his gaze glittering and unreadable his lips turned up into an amused and unkind smirk.
"No Kira this is us, you and I….I suspect that you act this way because it is a part of you that I have won over, no one else has beaten Light-kun again and again, challenged Light-kun and given him what he needs. And in return you give me everything." He said a glimmer of darkness in his gaze. Light wondered if that glimmer had always been there, hidden away so that no one could see it. Was that why L pretended to be so blank so much of the time? To hide the side that didn't fit the personal of 'L' the master detective. Light relaxed slowly- his master detective.
"Lawliet…" He breathed. L's smirk gentled and Light had to wonder just how much L hid under the guise of socially awkward and slightly autistic.
"Hush, we must go now." L said before standing abruptly and in a way that shouldn't have been physically possible given how entangled they were- or at least that's what Light thought as he crashed to the floor in a graceless heap.
"Bastard." Light grumbled before letting out a grunt as L kicked him in the stomach.
"Kira should not say unkind things to his jailor." L said his eyes glittering darkly. Light huffed slightly feigning annoyance to hide the blush on his cheeks. Why did L's words have such an effect over him? Why did these odd things do this to him? Had he always been like this?
But then again he couldn't remember ever meeting someone who made demands of him like L did, that treated him like L did. Most people worshiped the ground he walked on quite literally; they respected him and held him up- but not L. L saw him for what he was from the very start, a fake, a monster. He shivered slightly and frowned when L tossed him his blazer before approaching him and unlocking the cuffs. Light felt his breath catch in his throat. No, no, no…he didn't like this! His hands were free they could- shit he could-
"No." L said sharply breaking through Light's thoughts. "I am L." he said reminiscent of the first time they'd met. "And I say you will not hurt anyone, so you will not, not even me." He said snatching the chains from Light's hands and tossing them onto the bed.
And just like that Light found himself feeling calm again.
"Come Light-kun, there is much to be done, the hunt for Kira resumes." He said with a short nod.

"I want you to quit acting." Plain brown eyes didn't even bother to look up from the paper the man was reading. Misa-misa felt her heart drop. He was her husband, the man of her dreams; she had married him and loved him with all of her heart. But after that stupid L had gotten a hold of him Kyosuke Higuchi had changed. She didn't know how or why and she felt as though she was forgetting something terribly important, but there was nothing she could do. She still loved him.
"But honey my career…" She said a full on Misa-Misa pout on its way.
Her husband snapped.
The news paper slapped loudly onto the table causing her to flinch as she realized what page he'd turned to. Her husband had an inferiority complex, the idea that Misa was performing in a romantic film with someone far younger and far more handsome than him made something evil rise in him.
"I am tired of being hounded by reporters all the time, I am sick of people who don't know me judging me and making snide comments, insinuating that you are cheating on me, or that you will cheat on me- tell me Misa why do you want to continue?! Is it true!? Is this Hideki brat better than me?!" He demanded his eyes flashing as he suddenly lurched across the table throwing her down and sliding a hand up her thigh. "You're practically begging for it you little slut- tell me did you marry me for the money? Because I was second best to that faggot kid Yagami?" He said a sick look in his expression. Misa's eyes widened.
"No! Honey you know I haven't seen Light-kun-"
SLAP!
Misa's ears rang as the blow knocked her head to the side making the lights flash behind her eyes.
"You will quit working." Her husband demanded. Misa felt her eyes water with real tears.
"Yes." She said obediently before turning her face away as he began touching her.
He was her husband, what could she do?
