Author's Notes: I'm still not feeling well, but I hope I can return to daily updates until the story is complete. There's only three chapters left, so I will do my very best! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and please don't hate me once you read it! Please review; if I get three new reviews today, I will post another chapter :D

XIV-

L was afraid that if he didn't release Raito soon, the brunette would wither into dust and die. Raito was already so thin, and he looked as though he were skin and bones.

But L hadn't removed the threat.

Beyond Birthday was still roaming the streets.

Beyond Birthday was still free to hurt Raito.

L feared he couldn't protect his beloved Rai-chan from the carmine-eyed man much longer.

XV-

"Tsuki-chan," a cooing voice called.

Raito's sepia-colored eyes snapped open, but no one was there that he could see.

Suddenly, a man who looked remarkably similar to L came into Raito's view. The biggest and most noteworthy difference in Raito's opinion was the eyes.

L had warm gray eyes, eyes that Raito loved.

This man... his eyes were cold- blood-colored eyes that made Raito think of death.

And his mannerisms were all wrong, and his ebony-colored hair was much neater than L's, and he wore black shirts instead of white, and he was too muscular...

Raito could go on and on about the differences between this stranger and his beloved detective.

"Tsuki-chan," the stranger cooed again.

The carmine-eyed man lunged at Raito with a knife; Raito scrambled back, for once grateful to be in prison, where the bars protected him from this crazy not-L.

Suddenly, the door opened.

The man- not L- lunged again.
