FireCacodemon: Welcome back to The Death Spark, I don't own Death Note or Darker Than Black. I've tried to keep the characters as in character as possible. If they aren't...let me know and I'll see if I can get them better.

Chapter 2

L's mind worked away at what happened yesterday, the simple fact that the power cut wasn't just a glitch in power but something caused it. Tapping away at his laptop he tried his best to prevent Light from waking up. Waking up Light once while he was sleeping didn't result in a good nights work. He looked over the Kira case before he looked back at Light briefly; still suspecting that Light is Kira. The only problem is that he doesn't have enough evidence to convict Light of being Kira. Then there's the new power failure which was caused by something. L gently pushes his chair away from his laptop before he sighed. He wasn't going to get anywhere at this rate, if it was a power glitch, he would have been fine but there's no cases on any criminal messing around with the power before. A new criminal was rising and he couldn't help but be interested. Why would you go playing around with the power?

The Death Spark – Chapter 2

Hei watched over the city he was in, he didn't have a clue where he was and he wasn't going to find anything being the Black Reaper; he was going to have to play as his other half if he was going to get some answers. Looking up at the sky he froze, the real stars twinkled brightly. Not the fake contractor stars which were in his world, if the stars were up, then the moon should be up too. Just to make sure that he wasn't dreaming, he felt disappointed that the moon wasn't present but the real stars were. A smile appeared on his face just seeing them. One wish of his came true, seeing the real stars again but he needed to see the moon and find his sister before everything was perfect for him. What was the likely hood that he was going to get what he wished for?

Hei looked down from the building he was standing on, noticing that the police seem to have given up on their hunt for him, they wouldn't be able to catch him any way, and if the police force back home couldn't catch him (and they were experts) what hope did these police have with something they aren't familiar with? Speaking of the police, as he wasn't in the same world any more would they still be able to track him with the mediums they were using? He couldn't see any observe spectres passing through. Then again, there weren't any cables of anything like that for them to travel on, has his star faded from his world? Hei scanned the sky before he sighed, seeing star BK-201 twinkling with the real stars, the only fake star present in the sky. He was glad that his star hasn't changed because of his presence. He couldn't stay up on the roof as he'll raise questions, but he couldn't stay anywhere without drawing attention.

He threw his wire onto a lower object, it wrapped around and the clip on the end clipped on the wire once it whirled around a couple of time. Hei tugged to see if it was stable; it was stable enough to support himself. He leapt from the roof.

The Death Spark – Chapter 2

Dawn struck as Light's alarm clock went off. L looked over his shoulder at his suspect. Light groaned as he slammed his hand on the alarm clock, shutting the clock off before Light went to go back to sleep. L shook his head before he continued typing. He heard Light shuffle on the bed before his own typing.

"Ryuzaki, the police have encountered a new criminal," Watari informed L.

"Hmm, is it related to Kira?" L asked in his monotone voice.

"No, this isn't related to Kira but the cameras did pick this up," Watari spoke to L as he pulled up a video. L watched as the police tried shooting the suspect, the bullets bounced off his coat, the haunting white mask with the painted smile, blue eyes and purple lightning bolt over the right eye. L noticed the blue radiation appear on the suspect as the police was getting electrified by touching the male, this knocked out the power in the surrounding area.

"Pause the video," L spoke suddenly as the video stopped. L examined the situation closely; L couldn't put his finger on what to make of the new criminal. With the mask on, it would be hard to understand what goes on through his mind. The eyes helped L read what the person was thinking but with them covered...it was going to be impossible. He looked human...so there was the possibility that he was human but then the radiation didn't make it look human. Humans don't give off radiation levels like the criminal was. "What happens to the police?"

"His insides were fried by electricity."

"Electricity?"

"Yes, his nerve system was completely destroyed from the high voltage which the masked criminal gave him."

"First Kira, now this new criminal shows up, it is possible that they are linked to each other but then it doesn't make sense. The first Kira needed a name and face before Kira could kill while the second Kira needed just to look at a person to kill them...it doesn't make sense."

"Ryusaki...?" Light asked L as he gently sat up in bed. L didn't turn or move, Light felt as though Ryusaki didn't hear him but then noticed the screen. He sighed on the inside as Ryuzaki was on the case to find out who Kira was.

"This doesn't make sense..." L complained.

"Until further data is acquired about the suspect, nothing is going to happen but to track the criminal down," Watari told L.

"What's going on?" Light asked only getting more and more confused hearing L and Watari talk over something.

"A member of the Japanese police for was killed last night by a masked stranger; it is possible that a new criminal has arrived. I suspect that the new criminal knows of Kira's powers and hiding their face to prevent them from getting killed. The new person might be related to the Kira case but I can't be certain," L told Light, he nodded slightly.

"I'll let you know if anything new comes up Ryuzaki," Watari told him. L made a small noise telling Watari that he agreed with him, he kept the video up as it continued playing. It stopped once the masked man had fled the area.

"Ryuzaki?" Light asked.

"What is it Light?"

"What are you going to do about this new case?"

"Kira is my main objective."

"Right," Light smiled as he got up to get ready for the day, the handcuff was still on him.

"Don't take so long."

"I don't take long!"

The Death Spark – Chapter 2

Misa sighed as she sat in the park, Light was busy working on the Kira case so she couldn't spend time with him like she wanted. That and he was still cuffed to Ryuzaki and that only made things worse for her. He ate all the cake and stared at either her or Light while they were trying to have their date, this was possibly the reason that Light didn't want to go out on dates with her like they used to. Ever since they had both been suspected of something they didn't do, why would they be Kira? Why would they want to clean the world from everything evil? Besides, Kira was still striking down criminals at an alarming rate that it was near impossible for them to be Kira. She walked over to the park bench before she felt the tears starting to show in her eyes, she wouldn't let them fall. She wasn't going to look weak and vulnerable at the time being.

"Oh Light, what am I going to do?" Misa sighed as she looked up into the sky; a couple of birds flew through her vision of sight before she heard someone approaching her. She turned around to see a young male with black messy hair, a white shirt with the first two buttons undone exposing his collar bones. Misa's eyes widened slightly seeing how his collar bones stood out from the shirt. She caught his midnight eyes which were staring at the ground, his pale blue jeans looked a little worn out but still held up good. His black trainers looked quiet clean; the male's expression was blank, lost in thought. Misa watched him for a bit before he suddenly stripped over his own feet and came crashing down into the ground. Misa sprung up from the bench and ran over to the young male.

"Are you okay?" Misa asked as she gently helped him up on his feet.

"Thanks miss, I'm fine thanks," the stranger smiled innocently at her. Misa felt herself blush before she mentally slapped herself. She was Light's girlfriend and that wasn't going to change.

"How do you trip over your own feet?" Misa asked him.

"I lack balance a lot," he simply replied to Misa's question. She couldn't help but laugh slightly seeing him blush.

"I'm Amane Misa," Misa informed the stranger.

"I'm Shengshun Li," Li spoke softly.

"Li, it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too Miss Amane."

"I've never seen you before," Misa tilted her head in confusion slightly. "I would know a cute looking male like you."

"I just arrived here, so I'm looking for a place to crash."

"I can help you," Misa quickly pulled out her phone and went to call Light, if he didn't pick up then there wasn't anything against her helping Li trying to find a place to stay while here. She called Light on speed dial.

"Hello?" Misa heard Light's voice. She couldn't help but squeal Li only watched her while she was on the phone, and his own thoughts were swimming through his mind on what he was going to be doing.

"Hey Light, you're working on the Kira case, aren't you?" Misa asked Light.

"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"

"Because I'm going to go and take Li around this place to see if I can find him a place to crash," Misa told Light excited, she couldn't contain her happiness.

"Li?" Light asked confused. Misa nodded excited.

"Yeah, he's new."

"If you see him doing anything suspicious, call me right away," Light sounded concerned. Misa giggled.

"Okay Light, I'll be seeing you later on anyway right? We still have the awkward date of the week since Ryuzaki won't let you be on your own."

"Right, I'll see you tonight in person for the dinner."

"Okay, bye Light-kun," Misa sang before she hung up before Light could reply. She turned her attention back to Li with a smile on her face. "I can give you a tour of this city if you like?" Misa asked Li. She snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, no thanks. I know where most of the stuff is since I've been walking around," Li scratched the back of his head nervously. Misa nodded.

"Okay, are you just looking for a good place to crash?"

"Yeah, somewhere cheap would be the best."

"Okay, I can get that for you," Misa started to walk off, Li followed slowly behind her.

"Who was your friend?" Li couldn't help but ask the nagging feeling that he was going to play something important lingered in his mind.

"Hmm? Oh Light? He's my boyfriend," Misa told him happily.

"Ah, I wouldn't have thought he would leave a pretty flower like you unattended," Li chuckled slightly, Misa turned away from Li to hide her blush. Light never complimented her like Li had just done...they had just met as well while she knew Light for a long while. She couldn't help but smile softly though, Li looked like the type of person who's innocence got him a lot of unwanted attention with the other girls. She was with Light and that wasn't going to change.

The Death Spark – Chapter 2

Light looked at his phone in small disbelief, Ryuzaki stopped typing and turned his attention towards Light, noting that the call was with Misa but there was something off. Light was staring at the phone for a while before he sighed.

"Misa's taking a man called Li around the city," Light told Ryuzaki.

"Well, at least she won't call you again until we head out for the meal," Ryuzaki told Light.

"That isn't the point Ryuzaki. We have Kira to catch," Light said as he started typing away on the computer again. It was just the two of them as the others were out trying to find any new clues on the Kira case, that and to keep a look out for anything suspicious. He felt Ryuzaki watching him, he wanted to show his innocence and if Misa wasn't bothering him as much then he can work on the Kira case quicker. This Li guy though...she just met him and she's already spending time with him. Light shook his head; Misa wouldn't go behind his back on some new kid she just met. He's new and she's being friendly in helping him around the city. As much as Light didn't like Misa with a new guy he didn't know or trust he couldn't drop the feelings he was. The mistrusting feeling that Misa would replace him as her boyfriend because he was busy trying to prove his own innocence.

"You're disturbed by this 'Li' man, aren't you?" Ryuzaki asked him. Light snapped his attention towards the insomniac male. His black eyes were fixed on his eyes while his mind wouldn't allow him to work on the Kira case. Lying would be pointless to Ryuzaki as he would easily pick it up and tell him off again. He wasn't anything to Ryuzaki but a member on the same team, doesn't give him the reason to treat Light like his child or anything like that. He would just have to be truthful.

"Yes, I'm bothered," Light told him.

"But you want to catch Kira at the same time. You mind won't let you find Kira while Misa is with this 'Li' man," Ryusaki told Light as he gently bit into a gummy bear...Gummy bear? No, Ryuzaki never goes anywhere without some sort of sugary piece of food with him. He shouldn't really be surprised that Ryuzaki had a gummy bear.

"Okay then Ryuzaki, what would you do if you got a partner?"

"Hmm? You're asking me what I would do."

"Yes."

"Light, I will never get a partner as I'm just too different from what most people call normal. But if I wasn't who I am and my girlfriend was spending time with a total stranger, I would be worried and go looking for her," Ryuzaki told Light. Seemed logical enough for an average man to follow, worried about their girlfriend they would go looking for them and make sure they were okay. But this was Misa we are talking about. She'll be fine...right?

The Death Spark – Chapter 2

Misa skipped back towards her apartment, her day with Li was strange but exciting at the same time. He didn't have much clue on this city so she helped when possible, finding him the perfect location which was cheap and quiet. She had told him a lot about Light, Li had nodded and then spoke a little but Misa mainly dominated the conversation they had. Li didn't mind and just listened. She didn't tell Li anything about the Kira case or Ryuzaki or anything like that. Believing it to be best if she didn't let him know the danger he was possible in.

Reaching her apartment she was staying at she brought out her keys and unlocked the door. She threw a few shopping bags towards the couch before she pulled out her phone and decided to call Light, reminding him about tonight. She tried hard not to giggle when she thought about what she was going to wear tonight.

"Hello, this is Light Yagami speaking," Misa heard Light's voice.

"Light, its Misa, just hoping you didn't forget our dinner date tonight~" Misa sang to her boyfriend.

"I didn't forget. I'm getting ready now. Both me and Ryuzaki will be picking you up shortly," Light informed her. She sighed, wanting to be just herself and Light, no Ryuzaki for once. Until her Light was innocent (which he already is) in Ryuzaki's eyes (which Light wasn't innocent) would Light be then free to stay with her. She dreamed for that day.

"Do we have to have Ryuzaki come with us?" Misa whined slightly to Light. She could hear him sigh on the other end of the phone, she was asking for something impossible at the moment.

"You know the answer to that one Misa. I can't change what he thinks without solid evidence."

"I know but..."

"Misa, I'm working my pants off trying to prove my innocence, I'm working hard so that I can be with you without Ryuzaki breathing down my neck on our dates."

"Light, I know you're going to make Ryuzaki believe you're innocent. Then me and you can spend a couple of days away from the Kira case and just be together~" Misa chirped to Light. She smiled when she heard him laughing on the other side of the phone. It has been ages since she had heard him laugh and it was just as beautiful as ever. She sighed happily, she had made him laugh and that was the most important key that she held. Only she made him laugh like that, the only person with the key to his laughter.

"I would love that Misa; I would love that more than anything. No matter what, when I'm free from Ryuzaki I'll be coming for you and we'll have the whole day, just the two of us. I can promise you that."

FireCacodemon: LoveMuffins - I do my best to please the readers.

Hei: mrg6 - That...I can't tell you. Only FireCacodemon will be able to answer that and FireCacodemon won't spill anything.

Light: utsushidasu - Well, FireCacodemon's busy with school but we'll write when free.

L: DreamDusk - I'll ask FireCacodemon to see if more chapters can be posted sooner. Due to school work and me and Light on the Kira case...it isn't easy.

Misa: Anarchipluvian Tears - Glad you were looking forward to this chapter, I'll make sure Ryuzaki doesn't keep FireCacodemon all to himself so more chapters can be written.

Hei: We'll be back next chapter.

Misa: Yeah! Leave a review if you so please~
