I told you I would be updating soon!

Mizu: Still tired...

Ameko: Still Exited for this hyped LxMizuki chapter! YAAAYYY

Mizu: Please enjoy it!

Light: I don't like this chapter...

Mizu: AND ANYONE ASK YOU BOI?

Light: I also don't need to be asked

Mizu: Why the hell do you hate it?

Ameko: I think it's because the truth about L's feelings to Light are revealed.

Mizu: O.o Yeah that didn't sound Yaoi at all...

Ameko: Fine then! THIS STORY CONTAINS NOT A DROP OF YAOI! IT HAS NONE! NONE YAOI DOES NOT HAVE!

Light: *Reads chapter* Wow this sucks. You're both pretty bad writers...

Mizu/Ameko: GIVE ME THE DEATH NOTE!


Previously on Into the WorLd of Murder and Apples chapter 20

"That's a good point" L kept on stirring his tea, "You're not Kira. That is, It would be a problem if you were Kira because...I feel like you are the first friend I have ever had"

"Yeah, I know what you mean the two of us have alot in common" Light nervously replied.

L took another sip of his drink, "Thank you"

"Yes, we should" I walked out of the room without a sound as soon as L said that. My body moving numbly out of the vicinity. I vaguely heard Matsuda asking if I was ok but I didn't process it until I closed the door and curled up on my bed.

A few tears fell silently down my face in sadness.


Yuki's POV

Mizuki walked off to her room silently. I saw the thin break of utter despair on her face as she passed me and I knew what had happened. Mizuki thought of L as a friend and he just basically said that he didn't care and that Light was his only friend. I glared at L before I could successfully hear his thoughts.

"Seeing as there is no more work to be done the task force can go home"

Looking into his thoughts made my blood boil. He wasn't even wondering about where Mizuki went!

About two minutes passed until the task force left the building leaving only L, Mizuki, and I in the hotel. Without a second thought I walked up to the raven haired genius and slapped him with as much force I could muster. A red hand print painted his face.

"That hurt...Akio why did you do that?" L rubbed his cheek.

I clenched my fists so hard my knuckles turned white. "L! Why did you say Light was you're only friend! Did you even consider how that would effect Mizuki?" I used her real name because L already knows it.

"Please explain" He stared at me from the chair.

"Mizuki said that she thought of you as a friend right? And you said you thought of her as one too! Well now she thinks that she means nothing to you!" L was confused beyond belief.

L picked up another doughnut before talking. I reached over and snatched the doughnut and the box of sweets. I set it on the table a few feet away.

"It seems I have no choice but to pay attention" I swear one of these days I'm gonna get back at him.

"Mizuki has only ever had me and Amaya as real people she can trust. Amaya is gone so that means right no she doesn't have a friend! When she became friends with you, you became her only friend! She is sad that you don't like her! You Damn Baka!"

L just stared at her with wider eyes then usual. Ok time to find out what he's thinking...


L's POV

I just stared at the enraged albino with wide eyes. Mizuki was depressed because of me?

"Would it help if I talked to her?" I suggested.

Akio nodded and pointed to her room. I was drawn back to my thoughts. Even if she did see me as a friend she would not leave the room because of it... right?

My knuckles lightly tapped on the door. "Mizuki?" I asked.

"Go away!" Came a voice from inside.

My instinct was to obey her when Akio appeared behind be a shook her head. She pointed to the door once again before going to another room.

I pushed of the door as silently as I could when I felt a knife fly past my head. It wedged into the wooden door so I will need to come to that later.

My problem now is Mizuki who was curled in a ball in the corner.


Mizuki's POV

I felt my body go cold was soon I the first few tears left my face. Why did L lie to me? Why did he say he was my friend? What was there to be gained!?

Maybe he didn't want to hurt your feelings at the time?

Thats stupid and you know it.

Hey! It was you who said he was only human right? Humans have emotions!

He has emotions all right. He loves candy! And justice! I don't think he can love other human beings!

Watari?

An exception. Watari has been with L forever.

Well sorry, maybe if you just listen to some music you can calm the fuck down.

Good idea...voice inside my head.

Why thank you!

Go away...

I pulled out my Iphone and scrolled the song selections. one of my tears landed on the screen clicking a song. The song was nice so I should just go with it.

The song was origanally hardcore and rock. But I found someone who made it more depressing by taking out all the screams and replacing the guitar with piano.

[The Diary of Jane New Version] [By Breaking Benjamin]

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Try to find out what makes you tick.
As I lie down
Sore and sick.
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate.
And I don't mind.
Just let me say that
I like that
I like that

I heard someone knock on the door lightly. No matter what I do not want someone to see this pathetic self of mine. "Go Away!" I screamed.

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Despite what I said someone still came in through the door. Without a second thought I grabbed the throwing knife at my belt and threw it to the door without looking at who the person was.

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love.
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.

As the soft voices of the song faded away the person who entered the room sat beside me. I looked up, expecting to see Yuki but instead found L peering at me with those eyes.

I didn't have time for this..."What do you want Ryuzaki?" I spit out his alias like poison.

"Mizuki I would like to know why you left the room when I said Light Yagami was my first friend" How idiotic are you L? Genius? My ass...

I turned to fix my violet gaze on him with anger clouding my expression. "I'm sure Akio already told you L. Because you lied to me when I trusted you" I looked down once again.

"Mizuki I was lying" L was trying to be comforting? Well you fail at this department L!

Half-tempted to kick him to the ground I growled sarcastically in his direction, "Gee! Thanks for your honesty!"

'Not to you. To Light. Light is not my friend, I was merely saying that to see if he would feel guilty about trying to kill me" I blinked. Was he really lying to Light? "I'm sorry I upset you Mizuki" L sounded genuine.

The cogs began turning in my head. He was telling the truth, I got upset over a misunderstanding.

I wiped the lingering tears out of my eyes before trying to look at L with a straight face. "I-im sorry I misunderstood you L. Please forgive me"

"Mizuki there is no need for you to be formal" Before I could think I gently closed my hands behind his back into a hug. I was so relieved that he was lying that I couldn't process what I was doing.

"Thank you L..." A smile made its way onto my face as I looked at L's shocked expression. "Hey L. Can you promise me something?"

L returned the hug and like the last time it was very stiff but natural. "Yes Mizuki?"

"Promise me that you won't die. And that you need to know everything I do is to keep you alive" His eyes closed regrettably and I know why. It's because he is planning to die at the end of the case.

Nonetheless L leaned his head to my ear and whispered, "I Promise Mizuki"

And I was going to make sure he kept that promise.

I tipped my head upward and planted a small kiss on his cheek. Blush spread across my face like wildfire when I tapped my lips to his cheek and it seems that L had the smallest amount of blush on his face as well.

"Thank you...Lawliet"


"Hey Light!" L smiled and waved Light over to the shaded bench we sat under. And besides, Yuki checked this morning when he was examining evidence. L does not think of Light as a friend and thinks of me as one. That is all the proof I need.

Light shooed the bitch with breasts Takada away before walking over.

"I hope shes not upset" L mentioned Takada.

Light fixed his gaze on L only. "Never mind that, are you sure it's ok to be here? Didn't you say you were afraid to appear in public?"

"Yes but then I realized that as long as you're not Kira I should be safe" L continued. "The fact of the matter is that you're the only person on the outside who knows me as L. Also if I am attacked by common criminals, Touka is my bodyguard " And here is the best part! "In the unlikely event that I die in the next few days I've instructed your father and everyone at headquarters to assume the you are Kira"

I knew that Light was cursing at L for taking precautions. "Besides, you told me yourself you missed having me around at school so I figured why not come back here for a little change of pace?" The worst part is that Light doesn't feel guilty. At all. "As long as nobody kills me collage is alot of fun"

"I have to admit, without you or Touka around an intelligent conversation is hard to come by" Oh Light you flatter me...NOT!

L stood up from his crouched position. "Hey do you want to have some cake with Touka and I in the cafeteria?"

"Sure. I have a break now anyway" Light started walking with the two us us close behind.

"Hmm that's perfect. I'm find of craving shortcake right now" L muttered.

I smirked at Light's actions. "I kinda want some strawberry cheesecake. Thats one of my favorite deserts"

"Well lets hope they have it..." Light commented.

Suddenly a high-pitched voice came from behind us. "Light there you are!"

OH GOD NOOOOO!
