Chapter 3

A/N Hey guys I'm slightly sorry about the slow update, what happened was my sister completely reset my tablet (where I do my writing) meaning I had to wait hours for it to update, and my writing hours are usually between 6pm and 9pm and I didn't get in until 7pm yesterday so there really was no way I could update. I hope you enjoy chapter 13 :)

L and Light stared at the computer screen in disbelief. There was another Kira? Feeling an outburst coming on, the detective politely excused them and took Light into another room.

'I thought you said you had no memories of being Kira, and yet Kira is striking again.' He accused, his eyes cold.

'L, I promise you it's not me. Chain me to you again, put my in solitary confinement, I'll prove to you that it's not me. And only the taskforce know that Kira is striking again, there have been no police reports or anything over here meaning that he is currently striking in Japan or around that area.' Light was persistent, his tone honest.

L faltered for a moment, wondering whether he should believe the boy or not. When he had suspected Light of being Kira, he was cold and isolated and had an evil gleam in his eye, now he just looked like an 18 year old man, shocked and upset. 'I'm going to ask Watari to go through the CCTV for the last few days, just to make sure.' L warned, then upon seeing Light sigh, he put his hand on the boy's shoulder. 'But, I believe you. Your reasons are justified and I have reason to believe that Kira's power is passed between people, meaning that it could be a completely different person altogether. I'm afraid we're going to have to go back to Japan.' L's tone was kind but firm.

'What about the boys? What about everything here at Wammys House?' Light asked, sounding upset.

'Well, I was thinking the boys are getting older now, and they may benefit from witnessing an actual investigation so maybe we should take them with us. They are my successors after all.'

'L, I've never asked this, but what do you mean by successors? I thought you were the best detective in the world.' Light asked, curiosity overtaking him.

'Indeed I am, but should I die, L does not die. I want the world to always have L, although the person retaining the title will eventually die. By having my successors, should I die, they take over the title of L. Then their successors will take over the title. It makes sense, right?'

Light nodded in approval, but his eyes looked sad. 'You're very calm about the aspects of death.' he stated.

'I am, because I have accepted death. Everyone dies. There is no reason to fear death or resent it, it is a natural event in the life cycle.' L kept his tone smooth and simple, then locked his hand into Light's.

'Come on, we need to talk to Roger and Watari.'

'You mean Kira's back?' Watari asked, calm as ever.

'Yes, that is the case. I am needed in Japan and I would like Light and all three of my successors to accompany me.'

'Very well, I will speak to Roger.' Watari left Light and L sitting alone in the waiting room, as Watari had always had more authority over Roger than L, and chose better words to put a point across whereas L could be plain rude. A few minutes later and Watari came back, the trio's files in his hand.

'Their files, without them then you could be arrested. Whilst they are in your care, you become their legal guardians, if you just sign here. Light smiled at the irony of this, a family of gay men. Also, he was becoming the legal guardian of 3 genii that were only 4 years younger than him. He turned to L.

'Do you think they'll think of this then? Can they speak Japanese?' Light asked, poorly disguising his happiness.

'I see you've taken to the boys. Charming, aren't they. Once you get to know them they have their own quirks. Yes they can speak fluent Japanese,part of their training and I imagine they'll be quite content with the situation. It gives them something to do, seeing as they're already top of every class they're bored with lessons and yearn to put their skills to the test. Much like you actually.' L smiled.

'Should I break it to them or should you?'

'Let's do it together.' Light's hand interlocked with L's and they made their way to the boys' room.

Light scolded his boyfriend to attempting to walk in without knocking first, as he was adamant that they could be interrupting something. Sure enough, the teens were known the middle of a rather heavy makeout session between themselves, and got a fright when the door started to open but then shut abruptly. Tidying himself up, Near smirked. He could hear Light scolding the best detective know the world, like it was no big deal. Matt and Mello both had flushed faces, and scowled when they saw that Near was pale and perfect as usual. They sat up abruptly and looked around in alarm, before realising that it was just L and Light. There was a shrill tapping at the door before Light and L waltzed in, looking strangely secretive.

'Sorry, did we interrupt something?' Light asked slightly amused at the teens flushed faces and anxious faces.

'Nah, we were just talking,' Mello attempted at nonchalant but instead sounded slightly angry and rushed.

L exchanged a knowing look with Light before continuing. 'Kira is back.' He stated gravely, looking from boy to boy. There were no audible gasps or any drama, just 5 genii sitting in a room emanating acknowledgement.

'And you are sure it is not Light?' Near asked, knowing there would not offend the previous Kira.

'I am sure. The current Kira is stationed in Japan, meaning I must return. I would like you three to accompany me.'

This time, their delight was audible. Mello got up and cheered, punching a gloved fist into the air. Matt beamed and started asking Light eager questions. Near's eyes lit up considerably and he started playing with his bangs, twiddling them around his long finger. 'When are we leaving?' Matt asked, looking the happiest L had ever seen him.

'As soon as possible, we are needed urgently in Japan.' The detective replied, a dry note in his voice.

'And will also be returning when we are no longer needed urgently in Japan, I wish to spend Christmas at home. I daresay you feel the same.' He cast a glance to Light, who seemed oblivious to his message.

The two of them left the trio to pack as their departure was later that night, and returned to the room they would no longer call home, at least whilst they were in Japan. 'Light-kun, please give me an honest answer. Do you wish to spend Christmas with your family this year?' The detective's voice was small and growing smaller with each word. He didn't want to be alone for yet another Christmas, this was why he was so intent on coming back to Wammys House for Christmas, hopefully with Light.

After much thought, Light finally replied. 'No. I'd like to visit whilst we are in Japan but I'd like to spend Christmas with you. We celebrate it as a family, something we choose to do. Christmas is actually quite popular in Japan, although we're Buddhist. But it's not as special to us as it is to you. I wish to stay with you for Christmas, no all the time.' Light conceded, his eyes burning bright with meaning.

'Oh Light...' L's heart swelled, he was really going to do this for him. He wrapped his arms around Light's neck and kissed him full on the mouth, his tongue pleading entrance. He explored the boy's mouth, which was warm and wet and tasted like Light. Between themselves they battled for dominance, but of course L won. He was the seme in this relationship after all. It was surprising how uke Light really was. He shrank under the detective's glance, quivered under his touch. L traced his long fingers up and down Light's clothed chest, longing to see the perfectly toned, tanned skin under it. He longed to have more from the caramel haired man, connect with him fully. It wasn't often that L met someone of his intellectual standards, as well as amazingly attractive, sexually pleasing (at least he hoped) and so much like himself. Light was perfect in every way, except the fact he used to be Kira. Kira. L. No matter how you put it, Kira and L just were not compatible. The poor man didn't know what he would become if the man he loved became Kira once again. It would surely destroy him, to see his beloved buried under a layer of evil once again. He loved this side of Light, the lighter side of Light. It was just the darker side, the Kira part of Light that was the problem. L shook off the thoughts and carried on channelling his love through the kiss. When they broke apart, a blush was spread across the boys face, making him all the more attractive. L smiled, he really did love this man. He just hoped to god that Light felt the same way about him.

Meanwhile, the trio's were almost bouncing off of the walls, two rooms down.

'A real investigation!'Matt exclaimed, still feeling the novelty of it.

'Do you think we'll get guns, like police officers?' Mello asked, clutching Matt's hand in excitement.

'Nope, there's a Japanese law against that.' Near dampened, but then sprung back. 'They don't say anything about tasers though!' He slipped his hand into Mello's and Matt's and created a circle. The three of them leaned into the middle and all three pairs of lips connected at the same time. Matt thought to himself, he had to admit this was so much better than just kissing one of them. He was in heaven, he had his two boyfriends by his side, he had two perfect father figures, little did he know what they'd been pretty much adopted by the couple, and he was now going to take part in a genuine investigation. It was all coming together for him. 'I love you guys,' he whispered when they parted. Near and Mello both smiled. They looked at each other and then advanced on Matt, each of them pinning one arm and one leg down. The blonde traced his hand down Matt's neck whilst Near planted mini kisses over every exposed part of his body. They worked their way up until they approached his flushed face. Both had unintentionally and unknowingly brushed against his erection, thankfully not visible, thanks to his jacket. 'We love you too.' They whispered on unison, and kissed his cheek on either side, and lay down either side of him, watching the stars out of the window.

And that was chapter 13! I'm really sorry for the delayed update guys, I had my tablet confiscated whilst halfway through this chapter, but it's back now, and I start school in the morning! :O So I can't guarantee that I can update every night now, not with homework and piano lessons etc but I'll do my best to write every night, hopefully a chapter every 2/3 days. But you might get lucky and get a chapter everyday, it just depends how much homework I get. Hope you enjoyed this guys remember, 5 reviews before my next update and you get a lemon! I have a question for you:
