Eep! I totally forgot about this! Must've been FCAT and the upcoming EOC's…my Geometry one is on Tuesday, so…

Me: Don't bug me! I must type! ~whoosh~

L-kun: …

Light-chan: …

Disclaimer; I don't own Death Note.

P.S. Mistake! My line break didn't show! It was between Light getting away from stalker-dude and him watching T.V. last chapter. It was supposed to say, "Two Weeks Later".

Italics = Thoughts

Chapter 6: Confrontations

~Some Time Later ~

Light's POV

Stalker-dude keeps on following me. He's not part of the group, and this is the first time I've seen him. He must be a transfer student. I wonder if it'll be O.K. to talk to him.

…No. he can be a new member, and they might be testing me…

"See you later, Light!" my friends hollered. I was startled out of my daydream. Placing a fake smile on, I waved at them as they walked away.

I saw stalker-dude smile and crept forward.

Noooooo way, dude.

I moved to a crowded area. Ha ha! Peering back, some people made their way around me. When they cleared, stalker-dude disappeared.

I got to think of a better name. But, where did he go?

I wasn't paying attention, so I was completely surprised when I was yanked into an alleyway. Figures. I closed my eyes and waited. I can feel him pulling me back towards the end. He gently pushed me down to the floor, and I unconsciously sat lotus position, trying to think.

"Do you know what's going on?"

I opened my eyes to see him. He's quite attractive, but not my type – if you count the attempted kidnapping.

"Do you know what's happening?" he repeated, in a different sentence.

I cocked my head to the side. I'm not giving him my voice.

"The strange murders, thefts, killings, rapes…they've all gone down. The crime rate has made a dramatic decrease in the last week or so. That strange group on T.V. said that they will stop crime…Heart attacks…the heart attack rate has gone up significantly – although most of the victims had a healthy respiratory and cardio history. Their circulatory system was fine as well." He paused. "You are a brilliant specimen, Light Yagami. I'm sure you must have a few theories to go by. May you share them with me?

No. And how does he know my name? …I don't think I should be surprised anymore…

He shifted my position into leaning on the wall. "I'm sorry for putting you through this, but I had a feeling that you wouldn't tell me, otherwise.

I'm not even going to tell you now. That's not all that he wants. He must think that by working together, I will develop an attraction that must not be contained, thus, leading to love; possessiveness; and obsessive tendencies. He doesn't even seem like a detective, but in that line of work. A career in the Justice system, I'm sure.

"Please?" he leaned in to my ear, and whispered. "May you work with me? We can destroy the cause of these unnatural occurrences together…"

His tone says otherwise. It's like he wants them to continue. He probably wants to hear my opinion in whether I go by the justice of the groups, or the justice of the system. He must know my father if he knows my name, probably even Sayu and mom, too.

"Talk…" He grabbed my arm, "or else…" and twisted it.

I've had practice with this, so it's easy to hide my expression. Acting skills do have their moments.

He growled, and twisted harder, pushing me to the wall.

Frustration, much? Ha ha! Oh, I must be getting crazy…this isn't even bothering me. It's either that I'm so used to this I've developed an immunity, or I'm turning into a masochist.

"We apologize for the interruption," said a booming voice, "but we're bringing you a live worldwide broadcast from Interpol's ICPO. We now take you live to the ICPO."

His head snapped up to the source, as mine did more slowly. It was the big screen that resides in the middle of the city.

"I am Lind L. Tailor, otherwise known as L."

L…?

"Kira, I understand your motivation, and what you home to achieve, but what you're doing right now…is evil."

Who is this guy? And is he insane? Showing his face on a worldwide broadcast opposing kira…

Wait a minute.

All of a sudden, Lind L. Tailor seized up, seemed to choke, clutched his heart, and cried out. Then his head hit the desk and his body went limp.

"Oh dear," Stalker-dude said. "Looks like L hasn't thought things through."

Actually…

The screen changed to a white background with an old English letter L in the middle.

"I…I had to test this just in case, but I never thought that it would actually happen." His voice was distorted. "Kira, it seems like you can kill people without being there in person."

I let a small smile snake its way over my face. Nobody could've been that stupid.

"Lind L. Tailor was a criminal scheduled to be executed today, and was arrested in secret without any release in the public. It seems that even you couldn't obtain that information.

"But I assure you, L, is real. I do exist.

"Now, try to kill me!"

Stalker-dude squeezed my arm and shirt. "He…he must be insane!"

Heh.

"Can't you do it?"

Stalker-dude let go of me.

"Well, Kira, it seems like you can't kill me. So, there are some people you can't kill. You've given me a useful hint. I'll give you one in return."

He grabbed my face. "You won't see the last of me. We shall destroy them before L!"

"This was announced to be a worldwide broadcast, the truth is. This is only being broadcasted in the Kanto region of Japan."

"Wh-what?" He won.

"We were going to do this all over the world until we found you, but now that is unnecessary. Your first kill was in Shinjuku. The police treated this as an unrelated incident. His crime was the least serious, and only reported inside Japan; which leads me to deduce that your first victim was little more than an experiment, which means you haven't been killing for very long.

"We decided to do Kanto first because of its large population, and luckily, we found you.

It won't be a matter of time before I sentence you to death."

He says that so calmly.

"I am very interested in how you kill, but I don't mind waiting a little bit longer. You can answer all of my questions when I catch you."

"He talks too much." Stalker-dude looked pissed. He turned to me. "You're still not talking. So, that leads me to believe that you agree with me."

Nope. I blinked at him like he had grown three heads.

"Let's meet again soon, kira." The T.V. turned static. I resisted the urge to burst out laughing at Stalker-dude's face.

"Light," He grabbed my collar. "Tell me, do you follow Kira or L?" He said L with a little disdain.

I gave him an amused look.

He looked mad at first, and then he changed his expression. "Aw, aren't you cute." He leaned in close. "We are so working together." He giggled maniacally a bit.

Why do I always attract the crazy ones? Whyyyyyyy?

"Farewell…Light-chan." He tried to kiss me, but I tilted my head back, and he kissed the wall. He sputtered and spit on the ground a few times. I quietly made a getaway.

**********Tis late right now.**********

I burst out laughing in my room. I so want to meet this L guy!

**********My humor has left me.**********

5pg. Booooorrrriiiinngg. Death Note spawned off of that. Most of the broadcast was from the English Dub of the Death Note anime episode two: Confrontation. I got the title from the episode name, but added an "S". Do you get why? ;)

Me: 2:56am Sunday morning. …Well, at least it's before two weeks. CX You guys can talk now.

L-kun: I'm finally in! C8

Light-chan: Great. Now you can stop whining.

L-kun: ~grabs Light-chan~ And I can do something instead, no?

Light-chan: ~blushes~

Me: We have a while for that.

L-kun: NOOOOOOO!

Light-chan: MY EAR!

Everyone: Review, please! Faves, alerts, PMs, questions, etc. are also welcome!
