L reread the letter for the third time - He had until now done as he had been asked; The police got a day off, and Light was due to arrive soon, Misa had been spoken to most of the day to keep her from giving up on her ownership of the death note.. - L glancing at the death note next to him once, before continuing to read. Five minutes before Light was due to arrive, L was asked to leave the room, alone - Leaving Watari, yet not telling him what was going on, since B sensed he might dislike it.. Not that Watari was known for fleeing, normally he just did as he was asked. L would probably let him in on the idea, the opposite would most likely ruin it - Other than that, Misa's 'cage' was to stay unlocked - The rest of the paper was left blank, there was no further explanation to this - Looking up to see Watari arriving with coffee and cake, both getting served - Without speaking a word, L held the note up in front of Watari - "Understood" he replied - Whatever plan B had, it didn't sound totally harmless - As time passed by, L quickly stuffed his face with more cake before he chose to leave the room, even agreeing on getting locked in, just to be completely sure he didn't suddenly change his mind, or perhaps, someone chose to go inside - It didn't take long before L could hear Watari talking with someone who sounded surprisingly a lot like himself, staring out the keyhole to see the person.. No kidding, it looks exactly like him - That was when the whole plan suddenly made sense, this has happened before.. B taking the character of L.. B was going to pose as L, and taking his chance with Kira II, the Kira that had the ability to kill only by seeing a persons face - That was indeed highly dangerous! - Getting even more surprised as a shinigami flew through the room he was in.. Right! - He touched the death note, it was only natural for him to be able to see the shinigami that owned the death note now, shortly after hearing Light's voice.. He had no chance, it was too late to change his mind now..
Actually, Light had plans for tonight, but L had suddenly called him in, which was weird since everyone else was at home, though not really questioning it.. They had met alone before, maybe he just wanted to talk about.. Most likely Kira yet again - He never seemed to get tired of that subject - Light frowning once as he saw that overly excited expression on 'L''s face as he stared at Misa, still caged up at this point, shortly reminding Light what his plans actually were.. To get Misa's death note and continue his killings, his own had been stolen, and well, he couldn't actually do anything about it, it was quite frustrating - "What's this about, Ryuzaki?" a hint of irritation was to be found in Light's voice, getting the detectives attention, "Oh, hi Yagami-kun - You see, I've been watching over Misa Amane for the last few days, and something has been bothering me a little about this - It's hard to actually get any info out of her in this state -She just constantly cries if I try to speak to her, so.. I was wondering if you would be with me if I choose to let her out.. If she actually got to see that you were here with me, she might calm down a little?" 'L' asked, leaving the cage to sit back down, monitoring her like they normally did, yet the door to the cage was still open, then again, she couldn't really run anywhere at this point. Light was somehow not even surprised by the question, it was only like L to run far too many risks on things he shouldn't even consider playing around with - Even though the Kira inside him wanted to gladly accept the idea, Light stayed unsure, "Ryuzaki.. That's just stupid, if the case is she really can kill simply by seeing ones face, it's like realizing a death wish if we chose to let her out.. Unless of course, you choose to keep her blindfolded that is.." - 'L' turning on the chair, looking a little surprised, "I didn't think you were that close, for her to recognize your voice!" - The comment of course irritated Light, to the point where he just shrugged as a way of accepting the idea - Reentering to release her, she almost fell to the floor, her legs weakened. The expression on Misa's face as soon as the blindfold was removed, informed Light that she indeed still had the eyes of a shinigami, and also the fact that she now had L's true and full name, if Light could somehow give Misa the piece of death note he had in his watch she would be able to kill both Watari and L - Yet with Light being the only one invited here, it would seem fishy - But then again, if both L and Watari were dead, they could hardly have let Light in, in other words, L had probably let Misa out on his own, getting both himself and Watari killed before Light made it there, Misa running away before anyone would make it there.. The idea wasn't completely unlikely to occur.
Observing as Misa was placed on a chair, 'L' looking at Watari once, silently asking him to get her something to drink - Misa's eyes resting on Light, almost through eye contact asking him what to do, and that was when Light, against his nature, reached out towards her, taking ahold of her hands, a typical thing humans do to calm each other down - Something caught 'L''s attention, Misa might be holding onto one of Light's hands, the other being placed at his watch, his middle finger constantly tapping the watch - Could it be that.. Light had a hidden piece of the death note within his watch? - "Excuse me for a moment - Yagami-kun, please keep an eye on her.." - With that said, 'L' left, as soon as he had turned around the corner, he found a piece of the death note within his own pocket, staring shortly at it, while hearing small click sounds, probably from Light's watch - He chose to write.. - He had no chance at this point unless he wished to die to Kira - Returning to the two others who innocently looked up at him, just as he sat down, there was a thud from the kitchen - "Huh.. That didn't sound right.. - Oh well.." 'L' said, before turning to face the two that looked surprised - "Oh.. I see.. You're wondering why that thud wasn't my body falling to the ground?" - It was so obvious to see the surprise on the two's face, they knew they had screwed up just the second he didn't die, a smile making it to B's lips, "23 days from now on, and I'll die - Too bad I wrote the name in myself - I guess it would've been perfect for you if I had just died here and now.. However, I'm not the one you're after.." it seemed like he could explain as much as he wished, they were completely stunned. A little happy he couldn't see what was going on inside their head right now, with a cruelly kind smile on his lips, B handed Light his business card - "The murders message was unclear at the time it was committed, I was unaware how much you knew at that time, I apologize for that.. - It was very uncreative too, I must say - You see, the pinky was supposed to be Misa, with the God of deaths eyes, while the middle finger, was supposed to be Light.. Head of this whole Kira thing, the string was to symbolize a most likely partnership between the two Kira's.." He felt a stare right at him, from Light - Of course.. B was a potential victim of Kira's wrath.
"You were both the detective.. And the murderer.. And now, you are even L.. - Why is it that nobody understands the importance of Kira's existence? - No matter how you look at it, the world has become a better place, people are even starting to accept me as their God!" Light suddenly exclaimed - It seemed like he had finally accepted his game over. B walking straight over to him, face dangerously close to him, "Light.. Have you ever heard of a non-believer, tell me.. What is God to a non-believer?" - The sentence seemed to stun Light, there was nothing he could do other than.. - "I want to give up my death note." - Misa's stare turning towards Light, a low chuckle leaving Ryuk at the request, it all happened, as B had said it would, Light was nothing more than a serial killer, and a coward - "As you wish.." Ryuk chuckled, though pausing right in front of Light, "Let's face it Light, even if you let go of the death note now, you have been caught, it's not worth it.." the shinigami added, B further explaining Light's case; "Your lost death note is with the real L right now - And back at my place, are the pages from the death note in which you've written names, that will be proof enough for the police - And you see, the police see people as us, as insane, so the fact that you don't remember doing this, won't necessarily save you.. And I believe you owe Ryuk something.." hinting to Light's remaining life - The shinigami loosening the belt around his own death note, at this point fear shone from Light's eyes, B just in time to see Misa try to write her own name down on that little piece of paper from the death note they had, quickly grabbing it out of her hands, before simply swallowing it, taking her rather roughly by the wrist before pulling her out of the room - It would be unhealthy for her to see Light's life come to an end, "L, you can call the police now" B yelled, hearing L react by presumably jumping down the bed to get his phone, before looking down at Misa once. She looked so afraid it almost hurt him to treat her this way - Pulling up his shirt a little to expose the out cut pages of the death note which exposed Light's handwriting on them, placing them at the bedroom door, pushing them underneath the door with his foot. Like this, Misa wouldn't be able to get free and steal them, still holding onto Misa as he unlocked the door to L's room, now that Watari was gone, no one else could unlock this door anyway.
Continuously pulling Misa with him, as they quickly made their way out the building , just in time to hear sirens, luckily getting away before the police arrived - Still walking at a fast pace, Misa dared to ask, "Wh-where are we going? - What do you plan on doing with me?" - The question more or less replied as they made their way to the train station, pausing shortly, B turning to look at her, "Now, you stay calm and act natural, one wrong move and I'll bring you back to L, understood?" he asked, Misa nodding in reply, she didn't really have the guts to not just do as she was asked right now - Continuing to walk, until they arrived at the train station towards Misa's home, placing themselves fairly private, considering it was a train station - "You have to promise me something.." Misa slightly looking towards this guy she still had no idea about who was, yet not gaining eye contact, "Never make me regret the fact that I'm right now saving a Kira.." - The message somehow calmed Misa down, at least it didn't seem like he was going to kill her. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the train arriving at the train station, that tight grab letting go, before he handed her a ticket, "It's bought in my name, so police shouldn't be able to track you down - Also, please keep low profile the next couple of days, while I work on getting your name cleaned" - Accepting the ticket she jumped into the train, the two looking at each other while waiting for the train to leave - She had to ask, she would regret it if she didn't ask him! - "Who are you?" - The doors began to close, and she only just managed to hear his reply, "I am a shinigami" - The train left, with Misa and all of her confusion and sadness about what had just occurred - She had been through a lot, but this was by far the weirdest day in her life - She wanted so badly to cry about the time she had wasted at, apparently, L's place. Her loss of Light was also threatening to make tears fall, but for some reason, this didn't seem to matter quite as much to her, as the fact that she had just been saved, ever so slowly realizing that she might have been wasting her time this whole time, that revenge will most likely never get one recover anyway?
B lifting the back of his shirt to expose Light Yagami's death note, Watari had handed it over to him before the whole closing scene. He had changed his mind about leaving it to L, he still needed it, this was a personal case for him too after all. Hearing flickering of wings behind him, seemed like he had successfully taken ownership of the death note. Now all he had to do, was to return home, let go of the ownership, before handing the note book back to L for further investigation. Not to mention, L would probably find it interesting. If he chose to take ownership of it, he could most likely make Ryuk talk a little about the power the book holds - Not that, the pages that were left behind at L's place was enough to prove that Light was Kira, so either way, L could close the case - Misa on the other hand, they never had proof against her, and hopefully, they wouldn't ever find it either.. L would probably take a hint and not even try to prove anything against her, hopefully also cleaning her for suspicion for the police - What she did might have been wrong, but she was not evil, she could let go, and move on, unlike Light who was completely lost to the satisfaction of leaving his destructive mark on the world - A sigh leaving the confused ex wammy, if it hadn't been for the fact that he was already about to die, he would had followed her on the train, that was for sure - It was probably best if he let her go, that's what they say, right?; If you love her, let her go? - And concerning B's own case.. It was already closed - He did what he had to, even more than he had to, he had a short time to get completely done until the police would most likely find him and bring him back to Los Angeles. Not that it mattered much at this point, he would hardly get in before he would die, leaving him to look like just another Kira victim, it wouldn't matter, at least Kira was gone - Shortly hoping this space in between heaven and hell which the users of death note go to, doesn't necessarily mean that B and Light are forced to meet again.
