Kenzi's POV:

"L LAWLIET, PASS ME THE SUGAR NOW!"

"Make me!"

He giggled as we ran around the old oak tree outside. I needed that damn sugar for my coffee! Around and around we went around the oak tree's fat center. We were laughing, and smiling, and giggling like always. Then I tripped on one of the roots sticking out from the ground, and was ready to hit the floor when I ...I realized I wasn't hitting the floor. I unsquished my eyes and opened them, and saw L holding me up, only centimeters from the ground. I stared up at him in awe. He was so amazing.

"T-Thanks Ryuuzaki."

"Please, you don't have to call me by that fake name. Just call me L."

"Thanks L."

He helped me to my feet and walked me back the our pinic. He dropped tons of sugar cubes into both of our coffee cups. I smiled up at him, and handed him a strawberry.

"L, this place is so pretty."

"I have seen sights much more beautiful." He said non-chalantly with a mouthful of strawberry and coffee.

"Close your mouth when you eat, goof ball!" I yelled, with an equally full mouth.

"Hypocrit." He pushed me shoulder, making me almost fall out of my crouching position that him and I loved being in.

"Pig." I pushed back.

"Princess." Push "Dork" Push "Freak" Push "L" push "Kenzi!" I yelled my name at him as I pounched at him, and knocked him over, so that I ended up toppling over on top of him.

"Cluts." He smiled at me, as I gave him a peck on the cheek. Everything began to fade to black, and I figured I was just falling asleep. All that running was hard. I woke up next to our cat, Sprinkles. He looked like L too. He was all white with black underlines under those beautiful golden kitty eyes of his. He looked like L and I combined.

I got up out of bed, and glanced at the clock. Jeez, already 4:30 in the afternoon. I overslept. I walked out into the living room, and saw Light watching the news. Who watches the news in the afternoon? Well, I guess that is Light Yagami for you.

"Hey Light."

He turned around quickly, almost shocked to hear my voice.

"Hello Kenzi."

"I woke up today, and saw that only Sprinkles was with me."

"Yes, I am aware."

"So where is he?"

Light didn't answer. I stared at the back of his head waiting for an answer, then a sinking feeling hit my stomach.

"No." I mumbled to myself, before running off into OUR room and finding my cell phone. I pulled open my contacts and found L's number, and called it. 1 ring, 2, 3, 4, I am sorry this number is not available. "NO!"

LIGHT'S POV:

She ran back to her room, and it was quiet again for a moment, until she yelled no again. I got up quickly, Sprinkles sprinting ahead of me.

"Kenzi..."

I pushed open her door, and saw her crouching on the floor by L's side of the bed. Crouching just as L would.

"Kenzi" I repeated. Sprinkles ran up to Kenzi as soon as I opened the door more and jumped into her lap, causing Kenzi to fell onto her bottom. She hiccuped and sobbed, and lost the last composure she had as she sobbed into Sprinkles' white fur. Sprinkles purred and whimpered with her, as if talking to her. "Kenz, did you have another dream?" She nodded never removing her face from the cat's abdomen. "About him?" She nodded again, but began crying even harder. I tried hugging her closer to me, but Sprinkles immediately turned and hissed at me.

"Sprinkles, no." Kenzi scolded but she kept hissing. "号少年ダウン、スプリンクル！ダウン！" She scolded him in Japanese and he stopped. I attempted to get closer to her once more, and so practically threw herself towards me. Sprinkles jumped off her lap, hissed at me once more, before jumping on the bookshelf across the room and watching us. I focused back on Kenzi as she cried into my shoulder again. "L-Light, I thought L-chan was back. We were running around again, and we were eating with each other again. It all felt so r-r-real."

"Ssshhh, Kenzi. I know. It's alright, you're here now. With me." I kissed her forehead and she relaxed ever so slightly. "Shhhh."

"Light, I miss him so much. I hate waking up and not remembering he is dead. I hate sleeping and forgetting he isn't alive here."

"Kenz it isn't your fault. You could have schizophrenia, why didn't you let the doctor's run more tests?"

"I AM SICK OF H-HOSPITALS! Me sitting there won't get L back!"

"You dreaming about him won't either. You crying won't do anything but ruin your natural beauty."

She sobbed and hiccuped more. I picked her up bridal style and carried her to my room. I tucked her underneath my blankets and told her I would be back with a drink for her.

I was in the kitchen getting her a drink, when Sprinkles hopped up on the counter and hissed at me again. "カウンターから、振りかける。オフ、スプリンクル。" I told him get off the counter, in Japanese, because he was used to L speaking to him in Japanese. I was stirring Kenzi's drink as I recalled she learned Japanese just for him and I when she moved here. She left her Aunt back in America. She never had a mom or dad, her dad was absent and her mom was some badass agent who was never home. L and I were the closest thing to family besides her drunk Aunt. "Light." She called me from the room.

I picked up the 2 cups of coffee and walked back into the room to find her completely hidden under the covers.

"Hehe, what are you doing under there?"

"Nothing. Give me my drink" I shot her a look and she added, "Please." I was handing her the coffee when she lifted her arms out from under the covers, and I saw she only had her bra on now.

"K-Kenzi, where are the rest of your clothes?"

"I didn't like them so I tossed them under the covers next to me. If you want me to put them back on, then get them." So turned her back so that she was facing the empty side of my bed, the part I was walking over to. "Kenz, you have to keep your clothes on."

"Why?"

"Because you can't just go around being half naked."

"Even if You like seeing me like that?"

"W-What?"

"Nothing, Light-Chan."

I was trying to dig and find her clothes under the covers without revealing her when she grabbed my arm and pulled me into bed with her.

"KENZI!"

She was a lot stronger than I remembered. She pulled me in so easily, and I was fighting to get out, but she had a death grip on my arm.

"Light, lay down with me for 5 minutes please?"

"Kenzi...I am not sure if..."

"Please."

Sighing I climbed into my bed and without thinking lifted up the covers. She was only in her underwear and bra. She didn't seem to notice my shock when she snuggled closer to me, and laid her head on my chest, and wrapped her leg around mine. I could feel her barefeet poking at my socked feet. I put my arm around her out of instinct, and she smiled a little and relaxed more. Even when she was sleeping, she looked a lot like L.

"Light?"

"Yes, Kenzi."

"Do you think L is still some where out there?"

"I don't see why he can't be."

"Do you like being close to me?"

"Physically, or Emotionally?"

"Both."

"Emotionally, of course you know I am here for you. Physically..."

I hesitated. Did I tell her? I mean, yes her being half naked this close to me obviously aroused some feelings, but did I really tell her that.

"Well, Physically?"

"Physically close to you, is ...fun too."

"Fun?"

"It isn't as horrible as many things."

She smiled against my chest, and I looked down to see her beautiful smile. Though it was a small smile, it was real. That made my stomach get lighter.

"I will take that as a yes." She smiled up at me again, before getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom. Leaving me in my bed, wondering what I was doing.
