Chapter 8

L was trying to gather clues as to Light's whereabouts. He sent out his best to work, such as Aiber and Wedy. Though criminals, they were very helpful, and they hadn't even seen his face yet, which was convenient. He also got Naomi Misora to work with him once again.

He was, at the moment, on the phone with Wedy checking up on her, as he watched his puppy playing with a few red balls.

A day had passed since he had been informed about Light's vanishing act, and what an act. There was no trace of the boy anywhere. He had tried to work fast and gather help, but still nothing. NADA!!

Light sensed the irritation and anger radiating off the raven haired detective and stopped his playing. He looked at the red balls, then to the man and sighed. He was causing trouble even when he wasn't around, how very pleasant.

"Rai-chan, it seems we are heading nowhere in this search for Light-kun." L said depressed. Maybe he should involve his heirs? They would surely be a great help to him. But he would not risk their lives, in his eyes they were his sons', his family. He could never put them in the front line, even if it meant his own death.

'I wonder what he's thinking about...hmm...maybe he's giving up on my search!?' Light thought and wagged his tail hopefully.

"Rai-chan, what should I do?" L asked with a sigh. Light shrugged his shoulders and lowered his ears unknowingly. How could he give L any suggestions, especially when he had no clue as to what the detective had been thinking.

L chuckled to himself after a second of silence. "Look at me, asking a puppy for advice." L smiled and stroked his pup's fur, whom at the moment was sitting at his feet.

"You know Rai-chan, you've helped me a lot on my recent cases, it's quite refreshing. I do not think a pup is supposed to be as a smart as you seem to be, but I think we make quite a good team." L said with a sincere smile as he picked up the small pup from the ground near the foot of his chair.

Light felt his heart sore within the confines of his chest, his tail wagging rapidly behind him showing the detective how happy the pup was. 'Thank you, and I think we make a great team!' Light barked out happily as he tried to lick the others' face, and was successful.

L was laughing as the pup licked his face happily and shook his head.

Light suddenly stopped and jerked back, eyes wide, heart pounding in his chest. He thanked all the gods for his fur that hid the well known blush that was there. He had accidentally licked the others lips. Could that be counted as a kiss? He wondered. When L asked if he was ok, seeing his behavior, Light just turned his head away trying to avoid eye contact.

He couldn't like L, he couldn't like L, he couldn't...could he? But, L was a guy, and so was he. L was...well...L!! Kira's enemy, and he was Kira, so technically they were still enemy's. Light kept on thinking frantically to himself about this situation.

L's frown deepened as he saw his Rai-chan looking skittish. Maybe he had to go to the bathroom? He had taken him out a few minutes ago, so that couldn't be it. So what then? It was very confusing trying to figure out what Rai-chan was bothered by, especially since Rai-chan was a puppy.

While L tried to figure what was bothering the pup, Light was frantically yelling in his head. 'There is absolutely no way I like this, this MAN! He walks funny, sits funny, eats nothing but sweets, he even types weird...' He couldn't help but mentally chuckle at the mental image of how L typed and froze. 'I cant...I just...but he...He's...'He looked over at L and realization hit him.

He liked L, he thought everything about him was adorably cute. The very way he sat, ate, typed, sat, walked, everything! That wasn't right! He was suppose to like some girl like, like that Misa Amane all the boys at his college talked about!! Yeah, liking her would be normal! He was normal...well...not at the moment, but he was!! (me:...'...Light, your confusing us...T-T)

Things were getting confusing for our poor Light...erm...I mean Rai-chan. Can he actually cope and accept the new feelings for the raven?

Unknowingly to the two of them, a certain girl far from then with bright green eyes, stared into a pond and giggled hysterically. 'This is definitely interesting.' She thought to herself, eyes sparkling happily. 'Now if only Ryuk was here, he would be just as amused as I am.' She thought with a sigh shaking her head. "Oh well, at least things are working out!!" She sung out happily to herself childishly.

"Aahhh, Liiight, where are you? I'm bored." Ryuk whined as he floated through Japan unhappily.
