-Everything to Save-

Chapter 15-

L and Light watched in rapt attention as Higuchi raced through the city streets. Higuchi had Kira like powers L suspected that he also held the deathnote. The most important thing to L was getting that notebook of death before Light could. Everything depended on how this night went down.

L just hoped that Light would forgive him for what he was about to do.

Light's body tensed as he watched the antics of Higuchi. He turned to L abruptly. "This is dangerous, L. We have to act NOW!" he stressed, his amber eyes taking on a hard sheen.

It was time.

L typed a few non-sensical words into his computer before looking over at his auburn-haired boyfriend. "Yes Light-kun, I agree," the detective responded carefully, trying not to show how nervous he actually was

"Then let's move in now!" Light demanded, not noticing that Watari had moved up behind him.

In a quick movement, the old man plunged a needle full of an extremely fast-acting, very strong sedative into the upper part of Light's arm.

L's stomach clenched as he heard Light's gasp of surprise mingled with a hint of pain. He turned a looked at L with a look of betrayal. "What did you do to me…." the younger man gasped before falling forward in his chair, his head and upper body collasping over his computer keyboard.

L lifted the now unconscious Light and cradled his head against his chest. "I'm sorry that it's come to this, Light-kun," the detective whispered as he scooped up his lovers body. There was no other way in L's mind, he couldn't risk the chance that his lover might be exposed to the notebook of Death again and revert back into Kira.

Standing up with Light in his arms, he was ready to proceed with the next step. He had faith that the dreams he had been having foretold the future and that he had to act now if he wanted to save his life and love affair with Light Yagami.

"Miss Amane has been taken care of, Master L." Watari informed the detective as they walked towards the lift.

"I hope we are doing the right thing, Watarai," he sighed, holding Light's body close to him, as the two men climbed onto the lift together.

"I believe that we are," Watari answered dropping the formal word "Master" to speak candidly to the man he considered like a son to him. "Your gut instincts are never wrong, my boy."

"He may hate me when he wakes and realizes what I've done...but I think this is the only way." the wild-haired detective responded as the lift came to the top floor.

The elevator doors opened unto a long hallway with a steel door at the end. The two men stepped out and made their way down the hallway to the door. At L's command, the doors opened which led into a short hallway with another steel door. Once more, a command was given and the door opened leadind into a room that held two jail cells. In each cell were a bed, a TV, a writing desk and a toilet.

Inside one cell lay Misa Amane- unconcious, blindfolded and her arms handcuffed behind her back.

"I'm sorry Misa," L whispered to her, as Watari unlocked the empty cell and the detective quietly went inside and lay Light on the bed. The detective brushed back Light's auburn hair and kissed his forehead.

"You are all I despise because I know you are Kira, but God help me.....I can't stop loving you!" L cried, as the conflicting emotions he felt threatened to overtake him. He had never loved anybody like he did Light and he knew he never would find anyone he loved and hated more.

L closed and locked the jail cell door behind him and turned to Watari.

"Now let's go get Higuchi!"
