The knife hit wouldn't go through Light's chest, no matter how hard the girl pushed. Light just stood there and L decided it was time to step in. He had seen all he needed and collected enough evidence to convict this girl of being Kira.
"Halt," he shouted as he stepped out of the area he had hidden himself in. The girls attention snapped to him, but she didn't seem freaked out.
"Oops, I didn't realize I had any witnesses," she said, rushing toward L.
She materialized another knife and stabbed at L's chest, but got the same results as Light.
L shook his head, "Stab proof vests, you won't get far."
He pulled out a pair of handcuffs and in a blink of an eye was able to get them around the girls wrists. "You're being arrested under suspicion of being Kira."
"Oh, looks like you caught me," she said in a sing-song voice. Nothing of the situation seemed to bother her, not even wearing handcuffs.
Light continued to stand in the spot where he was stabbed, blankly staring ahead.
"Light?" L asked, making sure the teen was okay. Light didn't respond.
L moved to try to wake Light up from his trance, but was stopped when the girl kicked him in the shin.
"What?" he asked, turning his attention back to her.
"Well, don't you want to know my name?" she replied, shaking her head. Her short black hair began to come loose, revealing blond hair underneath.
"Sure, whatever." L said, glancing back toward Light. He knew that for some reason she was distracting him, but L couldn't figure out way.
"I'm Misa Amane!" she exclaimed, as if he should be impressed.
"Yeah, i've heard of you. You're about annoying as I pictured you to be."
"Hey, don't be mean to Misa Misa!"
She started crying and somehow managed to trip. Her nose hit the ground first, the impact made a sickening crunch. Blood starting flowing freely, increasing Misa's crying. L sighed, he couldn't let her bleed. He ripped off some of his shirt and knelt down next to the idle, helping her to a sitting position.
"L, need some help?" A voice called from the shadows.
"About time Watari, yes I do. Please take this girl away for questioning and get her some treatment for that broken nose," said L, starting to get a little annoyed with the situation.
L and Watari helped her up. Watari started walking away with her when suddenly Misa collapsed.
Not again, L thought.
Watari bent down and checked her pulse, looked up at L with worried eyes.
"L, she's dead."
"What?" L exclaimed. This was way too coincidental. She pretty much confesses to being Kira then dies almost immediately after she gets convicted. Something had to be going on.
"Light!" L called, turning his attention back to the teen.
But Light was not where he was. Upon further inspection of the area, Light was nowhere to be seen.
"Watari, I'll entrust this Misa situation with you. I have something else I have to take care of," L said.
Watari nodded, turning his full attention to the dead model at his feet.
L looked around, wondering where Light could have gone. There were three different alleyways that led out of the small clearing they were in. He no longer had his cell phone, so he could not track Light down. So he had to let his intuition lead him. L closed his eyes for a moment and took in his surroundings, before picking a direction to go. He hoped it would be the correct path, because he had to find Light before something bad happened. L had a bad feeling that something was going to.
L walked along the alley, looking for signs that Light had come this way. The walls and asphalt revealed nothing, so L had to continue to rely on his intuition that Light had gone this way. He was starting to get disheartened, when after taking several turns nothing was showing up. Until he heard a muffled cry. The sound must have been close, so L ran towards it as fast as he could. He hoped that Light wasn't in trouble.
L reached the source of the sound, shocked by what he saw. A yellow outside lamp cast a dim glow over the scene. Crimson coated Light's hands as he stood over a bloody body. In his left hand he held a knife and his brown eyes were darting around wildly.
"Light..." L spoke softly, aware something was wrong with the teen and careful not to spook him, "did you murder this man?"
Light glanced down, eyes widening as the situation dawned on him, "I.. didn't... he had to... it..." Light grasped his head between his hands, letting out a ghastly, inhuman scream.
L cringed at the sound, he'd never heard anything like it before. He'd never seen a panic as great as which danced in the eyes of the terrified teenager in front of him. L held his hands up, trying to make himself appear non-threatening as he approached Light. When he was about an arms length away, Light cringed back and focused on L. A change seemed to sweep over the teen and his arm raised, forcing L to jump back as Light swung a knife at him.
"You'll never make me leave!" the screeching voice did not belong to Light, despite it pouring out of his mouth, "this world is going to be mine! Humans don't deserve this!"
Whatever this was, it was not Light Yagami. His usual intelligent brown eyes were dyed crimson with sharp malice. L dodged the sloppy swings it was sending towards him, almost too easily. L felt that this thing was holding back and felt terrified at the notion of facing it at full strength.
"Light, please." L took a risk and didn't dodge this time; the blade nicked his shoulder.
"Damn," L hissed under his breath.
"Stop!" Light said, forcing his body to halt, "don't hurt h-him."
Light seemed to have gained control over his body back. He stood still, shivering fiercely. His knuckles were white from the tight grasp he held on the knife.
"Light-kun..." L whispered, getting closer to Light.
Light didn't respond to L, he just stood still covered in blood. L eased the knife from Light's hand, not sure what else to do. The second the knife slipped out, Light collapsed into L. Sobs escaped the teen as tears flowed freely down his cheeks. L simply held the teen, knowing words would have no effect.
A/N: Yay! It's early! Haha sorry for the cliff hanger on the last one, but I had to keep you on your seats ^_^. Misa didn't even get a full chapter, sorry all you Misa fans. Early I said I may include the Death Note, but decided against it. That would over complicate the story. For all intents and purposes, the Death Note does not exist. Anyway, fun fact: the first thing I wrote of this story was the last half of the chapter onward (murder - end of this chapter). The drabble inspired this entire story and yeah. So I hope you enjoyed it the chapter! All mistakes are because i'm an engineer not a writer (yeah I know I tense shift a lot, i'm working on that). I actually have a bit more time since that test that I was studying for (in this really, really hard class) is now over (i got a 39% and the highest was a 46%, the prof. curved it). Just a bit more because soon i'll have to be studying for the next big test (this class is frying my brain, send help).
