A quick note to WhiteLandyDragon,

Thank you for sharing your opinion with me, and I understand how you feel. I have read many of your stories, and I enjoy them, and I understand that the story seams a little unrealistic at the moment, but it will make more sense as to how L and Light can possibly want to fight for V, and why Matt, Mello and Near like her so much. I know she is cruel, but that is just who she is, that is how she has managed to survive life, by building a wall around her, separating her from feeling anything but hate towards anyone but the Wammy boy, and the reason she likes them over all others is because they knew her long before she created this wall. I hope I cleared that up for you, and if not, than I am sorry, but that is as good as I can explain.

CHAPTER 10

WHATEVER YOU WANT

V'S POV

He is Kira.

That was the only thing I could think as Light Yagami made the speech. I could to see anything else but him; I could not see the audience, or the bright stage lights above. All I could see was L and Kira, here, on the same stage. I could almost feel both their hearts pumping their blood through their veins.

We had completed the exam a few days ago, and out of L, Kira and I, I was most successful. The teachers had finely come to their sensors and realized that we were too advanced for your everyday test, so they gave us one much more advanced, and I was the first to finish that, there for, I am now top student, winning a much more honourable scholarship than L and Kira. Not that it means anything to me; I just needed to get into the same collage as Kira.

When he was done with his speech, L went up. He repeated what Kira had just said, holding the paper by the tips on the top of the page, mumbling out words.

"Man, these two are total opposites!" someone in the audients murmured.

"Yeah," the young man next to him agreed. I was captivated by their convocation, curious as to what their opinions are upon Kira and L. "This one looks like a sheltered genius that's been groomed for success his whole life! But the other one . . . there's something not right about him, he's just wicked weird!"

"This guy must be something they called a man genius. Coming to the Toeho Entrance Ceremony dressed like that?! Unbelievable!"

"Either he's crazy, or he's just toying with us! But hey, would you look at the girl? She's just as weird!"

"Yeah, she's dressed no better, and you'd think she'd do something with her hair! Most girls do that!"

"Yeah, but she still looks successful, like the first guy. She's like a mixture of both!" Interesting. L finished his speech, and the crowd applaud. Now it was my turn.

LIGHT'S POV

She was good, too good. She's smart, beautiful, and she knows how to capture the hearts of an audience, the only problem is whether she was a Kira supporter or not. If she were, she would do well to help me succeed as god of the new world. Riuk turned back to look at her again, and he stopped.

"Huh?" I ignored him and went on walking down the stairs.

"Light?" I turned my eyes in the direction of strange guy behind me. "Light Yagami? Your father is Chief Serwichio Yagami of the NPA? Your respect for your father's work is clear by your strong sense of justice." Who the hell is this guy? He was silent until we took our seats, him sitting next to me in the same position as he usually does. "You are planning on joining the police agency when you graduate and you've already got experience seeing as you've helped the police solve a number of cases in the past." He took a quick breath. "Now, you're showing an interest in the Kira case. I'm impressed by your abilities and your sense of justice, if you promise not to tell anyone about this I have important information conserving the Kira investigation that I'd like to share with you." Where's this coming from? And who is he? Is it safe to just ignore him? But I wonder what this information actually is.

"I won't tell anyone, what is it?" I asked casually. Everything seemed to go silent as he sharply turned his head to me.

"I want to tell you"– He lowered his voice to a whisper. –"I'm L."

What? There's no way. What's he talking about?! If he really was L, he wouldn't admit to it. I thought this guy was a bit strange, but this is pretty extreme. Stop! This isn't good, don't act surprised. On the off chance that he really is L, I have to act how Serwichio Yagami's son, Light Yagami would act in this situation. I turned to look into his wide, black eyes. There'd be no reason for him to be afraid. "If you are who you say you are, than you have nothing but my respect and admiration."

"Thank you, the reason I chose to revile my identity to you is because I think you could be of some help to us on the Kira investigation." Riuk chuckled.

"If this guy is really L like he says consider me impressed. Ha! Twice in one day!" Indeed. If this guy really is L, no, even if he's not L, I-I . . . I can't do anything to him! If what he's saying is true, it probably means he's already shown his face to my father, but right now, if he were to die right after telling me who he was it would only confirm their suspicions. Although it's obvious that Hidicki Riuga is nothing more than an absurd alias, it still complicates things. Even if I get lucky and it isn't an alias, if I try to kill him by simply writing his name in the death note, I might accidently picture the face of Riuga the pop star, and end up killing him instead. If this guy doesn't die, he'll know for a fact that I'm Kira.

Is he really L? Does he already suspect that I'm Kira? It's hard to say how much he knows but, I must be under suspicion, what other season could he have for telling Serwichio Yagami's son that he's L? Could this mean he's still suspicious about the people that Ray Penber was investigating before he died? Even so, I still don't see way he would reveal himself directly. I can't let him see any signs of distress, it's better if I just . . . clear my mind.

And I did. All I was able to hear was the soft ticking of my watch as the second went by, but then I realised what Riuk had said. What does he mean he was impressed twice in one day? I'd have to remember to ask him later.

,,,

When the ceremony was finished I left the building, Riuk floating behind as always. "Ha, I didn't think the ceremony would be so interesting." I agreed.

"Hey, Light," I heard the supposable L call.

"Ya hear that? I think it's your new friend." I turned to him, not surprised to see his back hunched and eyes wide.

"Nice meaning you."

"No, the pleasure was mine."

"Hey, Hidicki," a girl called out. My head slowly turned to my right, and there, walking towards us, was the white-headed girl. "Sorry if I am late, it is quite a large crowd." Hidicki Riuga wasn't staring at her for long before turning back to me, causing her to curiously look at me too. "Oh," she said awkwardly, realising my presents. "Sorry, I did not see you." She held her hand out and I willingly took it. "You must be Light."

"Yes and what's your name, if you don't mind me asking." She didn't say anything; she just gave me a devilish smirk.

V'S POV

Watari opened the car door for us, and I heard something from the other students about him being rich. L said his farewells and Watari was about to shut the door again, but was cut off by Light calling out to me. "Hey! You didn't give me your name." He smiled, poking his head through the door so he could see me past L (who was sitting normally if I might add).

"Yes, I know, but that just makes this all just as interesting, does it not? The mystery is what makes the mission."

"Yes," he agreed. "But what am I supposed to call you next time we meat?" I tilted my head slightly, making my hair fall to one side so I could get a better look at him. He seemed so confident, carefree. Logically, the likelihood of him being Kira is just under 5%, but that is only logically. On my scale he was 100%, all that was missing was the proof. Oh well, I have time.

"You can call me whatever you want." With that, Watari shut the door, got into the driver's seat and drove away.

"So," L began, and I could feel him stare burning into me. "What do you think?" My smirk I had so effortlessly been holding slowly faded as I considered all possibilities. Should I bring up the agreement now? It does seem like the most appropriate time.

"I think . . ." I turned to him and stared back at him, eye to eye to insure him that I was being serious. "I think we need to make a deal." His emotionless face never faltered.

"A deal? Hmmm, what kind?"

"One that does justice. When we catch Kira, he will not be executed." He opened his mouth to protest, but I quickly stopped him by pushing my hand against his lips. "But instead, you give him to me. He dies, I taste, and the world is free from far. Everyone wins." He considered this, staring off into space. What could he have to think through? He came back to Earth some seconds later, and when he did, he gently pinched my wrist between his thumb and finger, and removed my hand from his face.

"Alright, but I also have a condition."

"And what is that?"

"How do you kill and why?" I was a little surprised by this, surely he could have figured at least one of them out by now. I blinked away the shock, and smiled, leaning back in my seat and gazed out the car window.

"I kill because I am thirsty. They are right to call me Vampire. I do it because I love the taste." There was a small pause. The silence filled the car, and I am sure it would have been very awkward, maybe even scary for any other person.

"Um, okay, but how do you do it? Surely it can't be as any other killer would, they often have sequels, or they just use the same kind of objects, but you are completely random. We had hoped at first that it was a clue as to where you often go so we could catch you, or what your motivations were, but it was all to random. One month your victims would be found drained of blood and bullet in the brain, and then a few days later, we find another that was hung, then drained. One week later we found one that had drunk a bottle of rat poison then drained, it doesn't make any sense." I rolled my eyes at how radically obvious it was.

"I must say, L, I am disappointed. I do not kill them." He frowned.

"Yes you do."

"No, I let them kill themselves. It really is quite easy, I began this when I was around twelve and I was known all around the world. All I had to do was tell them I was stalking them, threaten them through untraceable phone calls for a few day, then, they would eventually end their own life so they would not have to suffer at my hands, and then I would simply drink the remains." That ended our convocation completely.

LIGHT'S POV

"So, Riuk," I began, sitting back in my chair. "You said something about being surprised twice today; I don't suppose you would tell me what could surprise anyone as much as L confessing his identity." He laughed.

"Yeah, but I don't know what you'd think." I waited. "Ya know that girl, the one you tried to get a name off?" Of course I did, I couldn't get her out of my mind, and he knows that. "Yeah, well, it seems she doesn't even have one. I checked, all I could see was her lifespan, and it's longer then than humanly possible. She could go on for centuries, I'm just gonna stop there, I told ya too much already." Centuries?! She doesn't have a name? She's . . . invincible against me and Shinigami!
