(Peeks from behind a corner)
Um, hello? Agh, I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in a long time. Blahblahblahexcuseexcuse
I really have nothing else to say, except that you'll probably see the earlier chapters change a little, but not too much. Eventually. If I ever revise this. Ha.
I do not own Deathnote.
Dark eyes squinted at the computer screen in frustration.
'This is unexpected…' L thought, anxiety sliding up his spine. He couldn't find anything on that god-forsaken video. He had scrutinized it for twelve straight hours. Nothing. The fact that the men spoke English had been a key lead early on, but once he began to research strange occurrences in England things had gone downhill. The challenge of this case was startling.
He pressed a button to ignore the seventh call from Watari in the past hour and continued to glare at his computer screen, willing it to give him something useful out of the thousands of 'incidents' that supposedly happened in England.
The door suddenly burst open, and the elder man stomped towards L, fury blatant painted on his face.
"L, you have been ignoring my calls for the past 24 hours. You need to know what is going on."
L brushed off the man's words with a wave of his hand and continued to wade through the websites. 'Aha!' he thought with triumph as he stared at a picture similar to the image in the sky after the attack.
"Watari, I would like to do some research on a 'dark mark'." His smirk was irreversible. "Also, I trust we have found a country to test the 13-day rule?" he said, turning to see a fidgeting Task Force in the room.
Matsuda's face went white with sudden fury. "You… You can't possibly mean that you still suspect Light-kun.. He's.." The man stopped and held his head in his hands, shaking.
L rolled his eyes and turned back to the screen "I will assure you that Light-kun is far from dead. So, which country is it Watari?"
Mogi spoke before Watari had the chance "We can't test the Death Note." He mumbled under his breath as the Force froze in place.
Pale hands hit the table before Mogi finished speaking. "Do I have to accomplish everything on my own! Give me one reason why we can't test it!" The scream from L increased the silence in the room tenfold.
Mogi took in a deep breath and blurted out "It's gone."
L's anger dissipated as quickly as it had come and stared at the Task Force in horror.
A few hours earlier……
Light laughed to himself as he walked towards the Great Hall.
"So, you came after all." He smiled at the Shinigami.
"Yes, as I am supposed to watch over the owner rather than the Death Note itself." Rem said, ignoring the smile. This boy had put Misa in danger again and Rem was close to simply killing him herself.
The boy smirked and shook his head.
"I guess I should just give it up then?" he said, continuing to walk down the hallway.
Rem held her breath for a second. This boy…
He now had possession over another Death Note, so he would still have his memories if he gave this one up. And if Rem picked it up before another human touched it… Well.
L would have nothing to test the rule with, leaving Light and Misa still innocent. The Shinigami nodded mutely and disappeared from the strange castle. She needed to get back to Japan, quickly.
Um… So, it's not much but I needed to update with something… Yey plot?
Anyway, L is going to get more into English Magic later on.
So!!! Reviewers, should Light be in Slytherin or Gryffendor for the school year? I can think of reasons for both, and I want to see what people say. Yey! Reviewwwww!!!!!!
