Light had arrived with his father to a nice hotel. He had been quite skeptical about this L character. Despite the fact that his father confirmed L was real, something about the entire situation made Light uneasy. Why did Light feel he was constantly being tested?

After Light and his father got of the elevator, Light was led down the hallway passing the exquisite looking doors. The door panels were trimmed with gold that curved to meet in the middle of the mullion. Light's father eventually stopped in front of one of these elegant doors. He lightly knocked and was met with a voice telling him it was unlocked. Soichiro reached for the handle and opened it.

For Light, the door seemed to open very slowly, his heart beating to every second. Light was rarely confused in his life, but right now was a rare moment. The fact he was so on edge was very odd to the teen, seeing he had no reason to be. Sure, a great detective suspected Light of being Kira, but Light had nothing to worry about.

Light's mind drifted off to last night when he met the strange detective. After a rough start, the two had some light(no pun intended) conversation. L had explained to Light to call him Ryuzaki, as not to draw suspicion to himself. Light found himself enjoying the man's company. He could tell that this detective was very intelligent, possibly more so than Light. Light often found himself around people that were nowhere near his intellect and this was a chance he did not want to waste. Maybe that was why he was so nervous.

Light was brought back to the present when he stepped into the hotel room. L was flanked by two men, he recognized them as Aizawa and Matsuda. Light approached until he was about 7 feet away. Something about this situation didn't feel right.

The instant Light stopped, L started to speak. "Light Yagami, you are under arrest under suspicion of being Kira."

"What?" Light's heart stopped in his chest and time seemed to stop. He was arresting him? Light knew he was not a murderer, so why was L arresting him. They could be working on catching the actual killer, not playing with him!

Light felt the cold steel of handcuffs around his wrist. He trying to flinch away, but it was too late.

"I'm not a killer," said Light, fighting his bonds and frantically looking around, seeing if anyone would believe him. "What evidence do you have?"

"Light, I had surveillance cameras placed in your house. Every night you left shortly after midnight and that night a criminal was murdered," L explained to the frantic teen.

"Cameras?" Light exclaimed, growing more frantic.

"Light, calm down. We're just going to put you under surveillance in solitary confinement so we can see if you are indeed Kira or not. If you are, you will be arrested for real. If you aren't, then you will be let go." L replied, keeping his distance from Light.

Immediately, Light relaxed. "I know i'm not Kira, but if this will prove my innocence, then I will do it." Light remarked, setting his determined eyes on L.

"Alright, take him away," L announced.

Mogi led him out of the expensive room, to the building L had prepared.

Two days later, the killings had stopped completely. Light's father had been asked to be confined as well, so he didn't get in the way of the investigation.

"Hey, Ryuzaki, " said Light, who was sitting on the floor against his bed, "were there any more criminals being killed?"

L sighed and spoke into the microphone, "No, not a single one."

Light's head dropped and he was silent for a moment, before replying, "I guess that i'm starting to look suspicious."

You looked suspicious when you were sneaking out of your house late at night, this just adds to the top. Thought L to himself.

"So if this continues, then i'll be convicted of being Kira?" Asked Light, his voice wavering.

"Yes it seems so," replied L.

A week later, criminals started dying again in the exact same way that Kira had killed them. L was puzzled on why this was happening, knowing that Light couldn't be doing it if he was trapped in a cell. Still, L decided that he would continue to watch Light for another week or two. If no new killings happened, he would have to release him. He explained this all to Soichiro, who agreed with him. Soichiro was not going to leave his cell until Light was innocent.

L looked at the screen at Light, who was lying on the floor. His black shirt was hiked up, exposing part of his lower abdomen.

"Light," L said, switching to Light's channel, "how are you feeling right now?"

Light sighed. "I'm okay," he replied, lifting his head up a bit off the floor and looking at the camera. "Ryuzaki, I know that in the time i've been imprisoned that no new criminals have died. However, to me, that seems to suggest that Kira is someone that is familiar with my situation-"

"No Light," interrupted L, "The reasons criminals have stopped dying is because you are Kira."

"No! I'm not Kira! How many times do I have to tell you?" exclaimed Light.

If Light was Kira, he'd know I was bluffing, so why is he getting upset? He's obviously clueless. Thought L.

Two Weeks Later

More killings had occurred, the exact same way Kira was killing people. No trace left behind. L was now only 1% sure that Light was Kira. There was no possible way that Light could be killing people from his cell and he seemed clueless killings were still happening. L sighed and realized that he would have to let Light out, he couldn't keep him locked up. He decided he would go over to the building Light was being held in.

L approached Light's cell. Light was lying on his bed facing the wall, not taking notice of the footsteps approaching. L stopped in front of the cell.

"Light," L spoke, alerting the teen. "You seem to be innocent. However, I will be spending 24 hours a day with you until i'm 100% certain."

Light jolted up and turned to look L in the eye.

"Really?" Light asked ecstatically, walking up to the bars.

"Yes, now accompany me upstairs." L fiddled with the lock before the bars swung up.

Light was so excited to be out of confinement that he could have hugged the man. L started walking down the long hallway and Light followed along at his heel.

A/N: So, slightly shorter than the previous chapter. This part was probably what I was worried about the most in sounding choppy. I wasn't sure how much to include. So this is what happened. If you know the vocaloid Evilious Chronicles, the seven sins are loosely based on them. But anyway, I almost ended up not updating today. Anyway, next chapter should be out sometime this week. Any mistakes made can be put to the fact i'm an engineer, not a writer.
