Here it is again, the tale unravels a little more, ignore my bs i haven't written in a while. I think I'm going to stop apologising for the late uploads because if you're reading this now you probably know that I'm not gonna upload again for another couple of months. IB keeps you busy, and I've only just started...this is my final apology for being so late and telling people that I would try and upload as soon as possible, I'm a procrastinator.

"Why were you trying to get into my house in the first place?"

Light hesitated for a moment; he hadn't anticipated L asking this question. "I...I," he tried searching for the right words to say, but they just weren't coming. Normally he was brilliant at spinning stories and could unravel deceitful tales within the blink of an eye, but this time it was different. If he were an author, he would have described the situation as writer's block. All thoughts just zipped out of his head and instead he began staring at the young man's creased face.

L was still waiting for an answer, surveying Light with a deductive glance. L was astounded by how long it was taking for the youth to come up with a simple explanation as to why he was at his house in the first place. "If you're not going to answer my question you might as well leave," L said cruelly. It wasn't like him to be cruel, but Light not answering his question had kind of hurt him. Couldn't Light tell the truth to him? L knew he had only just met Light and it was absurd to think of a reason why Light should whole-heartedly trust L, but it irritated him that he couldn't answer this simple question.

Silence enveloped the room as L waited for Light to make a move. L was pretty sure that any second Light would throw an answer at him, probably one that would cause him surprise and perhaps fright, but no answer came. Instead the young man nodded at L and exited the room quietly.

L was shocked, and was about to say, I didn't really mean you had to go, but it was too late, Light was gone. L leaned as far back into the cushions as he could possibly go. He was alone again, the beeping of the machines began to gain in volume. He raised his hands to his ears to stop the sound waves from entering his inner ear and echoing in his ear drums, but not only was the beeping gaining in volume, it was also gaining in speed. L began to shake, the terror set into his mind and his heart rate increased. His hands gripping to his ears tightened, the beeping louder than ever. "Stop the noise!" he cried out, hoping anyone would hear him. The image of the man, Ryou Hijima imprinted itself on the inside of his eyelids, "Stop!" he cried again.

Nurses skidded inside his room, but L took no notice, the bloody corpse of Ryou Hijimi blinded him. He felt the nurses steadying his body and the needle entering his epidermis, then his vein or artery, and the liquid anaesthesia flow into him. L didn't feel any different, he was still shaking, the noise of the machine was deafening and Ryou Hijimi clouded his vision. "L!" Light's voice echoed in the cavern of L's mind. He blinked a couple times, "L what's wrong?" His voice was full of concern. L blinked a couple of times, trying to get the room to focus. Light was leaning over him, "L, I came back to say, the reason I came by to meet you was because I was lonely, and I needed your company."

L smirked in his drugged up state, close to losing consciousness, "I guess I was a bit lonely too," and he was gone.


I know it's short, and lacking a certain umph, but it's late and I have school tomorrow. I hope you liked it even though I think it's a bit of a rubbish chapter, I just wanted to get the point across that L is going to have a series of anxiety attacks, it will lead to the realisation of a couple of things, but I guess you'll just have to read on to find out.

Review, if you can be bothered, I'd gladly appreciate it ;P
