L tried comforting his friend but whatever he did didn't make much of a difference. Light was afraid until he had woken up, then he had seemed terrified. Light looked over at L.
"What are you doing in my bed Ryuzaki?" he stuttered trying to get his words through his unknown fears.
L felt warmth rush to his cheeks; he couldn't explain either reason why. He didn't know why he felt so embarrassed about liking Light's company next to him and he didn't want Light to know he was interrogating him as he slept. L did manage to tell one truth though.
"I laid down next to you because you were having that nightmare again. I tried waking you but it didn't work and you looked like you needed comfort" he said causally like it was no big deal. "That's what friends do for each other" he said sitting up.
"Oh. Thank you Ryuzakl" Light smiled at his friend before getting up and heading towards the bathroom once again. L followed behind until Light had went inside and shut the door behind him.

The task force probably wondered where they were but Light wasn't even concerned about that, he was more concerned about going crazy. Light stared deeply into the mirror almost willing for it to change like it had done the day before. The only him that looked back was the one with the messy bed head hair and sleepy brown colored eyes. Light waited for what seemed like an eternity before he decided to give up. His reflection didn't change one bit.

Light grabbed his comb and quickly styled his hair and soon he was out of the bathroom. He sighed and walked towards the main room of the Task Force Headquarters. L followed close behind. They needed to start working on the Kira case. The second they walked into the room, they were bombarded with millions of questions from the rest of the force.
"Where were you two?" everyone in the room asked of them.
Light had no idea what to say but he knew he had to come up with some kind of lie. He thought for a while, he couldn't think clearly when he was still tired.

"We just overslept! No big deal!" L said as he sat down at his desk as he always did.
Everyone was shocked at L especially Watari; they all knew he didn't sleep. The only one to ask about it however was Matsuda.
"I thought you didn't sleep though Ryuzaki! What happened?" he asked curiously.

L just shrugged in response. He did know what got him to sleep; it was lying next to Light. Usually his mind moved a million miles a minute; that's why he can't ever sleep but while next to Light, it all went blank. He couldn't really explain what it was.
They worked on the Kira case for the rest of the day. L went off the lead Light had given him in his sleep and Light simply looked at the latest heart attack victims. Most of them were still criminals but he noticed that some of them weren't and they weren't the kinds of people Kira would kill. Light had no way to know for sure but his gut feeling told him it was true. He looked into it and saw some of them were higher level business people; this could be the lead they were looking for.
L was also discovering new things as well. The more he thought about his theory, the more it made sense. When Light was put into confinement, the killings stopped but soon the killings continued right around the time Light's attitude changed completely about being in confinement. What if the power of killing passed on from person to person and so when Light was caught, the power moved from him to someone else? It would make sense and what if Light simply didn't remember anything about being Kira? His dreams linked into this perfectly. Light was obviously dreaming about being Kira and his pure self can't handle knowing who he used to be. L smiled, he also had his new lead.
