WoW I honestly didn't think this story would be that popular. Thanks for all the reviews you all are giving me! OK, onto the story:

I can't believe it. I kept going through my memories and looking at it again, but I'm just not sure I can believe it. When Beyond introduced himself to the men in the hotel room we snuck into, in a mystical way, he revealed to me one thing: L Lawliet.

L Lawliet. The perching man's name hung in the air above his head. Could that really be him? The L we all know as the famous detective? Piecing together the puzzle, I realized that it had to be.

Beyond knew L from the LABB Murder Cases. They actually looked quite alike. Mr. Yagami was the Chief of the NPA. L was a detective. It's not a coincidence that Mr. Yagami was in that room with a man named L. It had to be the real L.

And I knew his name. I'm guessing Beyond did, too, since he had the eyes.

After the police barged into my house, they cuffed us and took us into our front yard where they blindfolded us. We waited for a minute until police cars showed up. They must've called for backup.

I don't know where they took Beyond and Dad, but the car they stuffed me in they also stuffed Akari in. I heard her familiar voice when they shut us in. "Way to go Beyond. Get us arrested will ya."

"Akari?" I asked, turned my head to the direction her voice came from. "I couldn't think of anyone better to ride with in the back of a police car. If you'd have been my dad, I'd be going deaf from all his cursing and yelling."

"He must be with Beyond in another car," she concluded. "Don't worry, he's probably flipping out on the killer right now. I mean, that's what I'd be doing. What. An. Idiot."

I sighed and leaned back in the seat. "Uh, Mr. Driver?" I called to the man driving. When he didn't answer, I called again. "Hey, driver guy, hello?"

"ARE YOU DEAF?" shouted Akari, thoroughly annoyed. The car swerved a bit as she yelled.

"Well, if he wasn't before, he is now," I mumbled, scooting away from her.

"What?" he spat from the front seat. "Why can't you just shut up until we get to the station? Jeez…"

Huffing, I squirmed in my seat. "I'm just wondering… why are we being arrested?"

He snorted. "Why? Because you broke into a hotel room, interrupted a police meeting, and ran away from the NPA! That's why!"

I smirked. "So, it was a secret police meeting." When he grunted, I flashed another cocky smirk.

The car was quiet for a moment before Akari started up again. "I'm hungry. This car got any snacks? Hello Panda? Pocky?" My stomach grumbled. I wish I had my pocky. Mmm, sweet, delicious pocky…

"No, we don't," he replied through gritted teeth.

"Drinks? I could really go for some green tea right now."

"I'm sure you would."

Wishing that my blindfold was off, I squirmed again. "What's your name Mr. Driver?"

"None of your business," he replied coolly.

Just then, his police radio crackled. "Aizawa, are you at the station yet?" Another smirk. I could just feel Akari smirking, too. Aizawa. If I wasn't wearing a blindfold I'd be able to see for myself.

"Yes, Chief," the driver replied. "I'm arriving with the two girls now." That's when I felt the car halt and park. The front door opened and slammed shut. The my door opened and arms grabbed me and pulled me out.

"Hey, watch where you're grabbing!" growled Akari from the other side. Someone else must've been waiting for our arrival.

We were shoved down the sidewalk and through the front doors of what I assumed to be the station. I couldn't see, but I could hear. Voices were echoing from all around me, some shouting not too kind things to one another. Phones were ringing non stop, and from every direction.

I think we were walking through a hallway because the noises died down. Finally, after a seemingly unending corridor, we stopped. A door opened and I heard Akari grunt as she was shoved in. The person grasping me shoved me forward.

We walked a couple more steps, then I was thrown into a room of my own. My blindfold was taken off, but before I could see my capture, who I assumed was Aizawa, he darted out of the room.

It was your average interrogation room. A table in the middle of the blank room with one chair on each side facing each other. I tried the door but it was locked, of course. Unsure of what to do, I just sat and waited.

After twenty minutes the door opened and, low and behold, Mr. Yagami walks in. I gulp, sinking in my chair. His face was straight, but I could see the confusion and frustration behind his eyes as he sat down.

"Yukimi Miyoshi. I have a lot of questions for you miss."

"I know," I said meekly, looking down. I couldn't look in his eyes. I was too ashamed. "I'm sorry I followed you and betrayed your trust and snuck into that hotel and-" As I took a breath, Mr. Yagami raised his hand up to stop me.

"Yukimi, please. Slow down." Nodding, I lifted my head up and stared at his furry mustache. Nope, still couldn't look him in the eyes. "Why were you, Akari, and Mr. Birthday following me?" I stifled a laugh. Mr. Birthday? Oh gosh, Yuki, don't laugh.

For a split second, I thought of throwing Beyond under the bus and making him take the blame. I mean, it was his idea in the first place. But I went along with it. So did Akari. And they're my friends, I can't do that to them.

"I was out with Beyond and Akari that night. We say you walking with that man so I suggested we follow you to… to see what secrets you were hiding. I don't know why, but I was bored so I just thought of it as something fun to do. It was my idea, not theirs. As for my dad, he was just caught up in the mess when we ran home. I'm sorry."

Mr. Yagami's eyes flickered. Not with anger or resentment, but with amusement and a little admiration. "Oh really?" I nodded slowly. "Well, that's not what your friends say."

Crap.

"In fact, each one of them, including your dad, tried to blame themselves for the whole idea." When I locked eyes with him, I sighed. "Come with me." Mr. Yagami led me out of the room with a firm hold on my arm.

We walked down the hall, then into another room. It was another interrogation room, but larger. Beyond was there. We glanced at each other before looking away. Akari and my dad were quickly brought in.

Dad walked over to me and gave me a long hug. "Hey, how are you? Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

I raised my eyebrow. "They're the police, I'm fine."

The four of us stood together on one side of the long table. Mr. Yagami and Aizawa stood on the other side. "Alright," Aizawa announced. "Which one of you decided to follow Chief? Huh? Come on, fess up already." He glared at me.

I was about to say something when Beyond smirked. "All right then. You caught me. It was my idea." Akari elbowed Beyond. "I was looking for someone." I elbowed Beyond.

Mr. Yagami and Aizawa glanced at each other before studying Beyond intently. "Who?" they asked in unison.

A sly smile crept onto Beyond's face. "L. And guess what? I found him."

Let's just say Beyond's plan to reveal his plan to the NPA was not the best idea. None of Beyond's ideas are the best! Immediately after he spilled the beans, Mr. Yagami blindfolded all of us. After that we were taken somewhere else. I don't know where, but I know it wasn't a normal interrogation room.

I was strapped into this weird seat or whatever that was vertical. I'm not complaining; at least I wasn't upside down or anything like that. I think I was alone in the room.

Suddenly, a voice called out to me. It was altered a bit so I couldn't tell what the actual voice sounded like. It came from a speaker somewhere in the room. No doubt there was a camera watching me.

"Yukimi Miyoshi... "

"Konnichiwa?" I answered in Japanese. Without Google Translate, that was literally the only Japanese I can remember.

"Do you know the man who is Beyond Birthday?" the voice asked. Male, definitely.

"Si lo hago," I answered in Spanish. Yes I do. "El ' es como un hermano para mí" He is like a brother to me.

"Yukimi, please stop fooling around. This is very serious business."

"Oh, tut mir leid. Funktioniert meine Sprache?" I replied in German. Oh, I'm sorry. Does my language offend you? I stifled a laugh. Now I was just playing with him.

He was silent for a moment. Then, his voice echoed again. "If I were you I wouldn't be fooling around at a time like this. We have your father and your best friend. I'm sure you wouldn't want anything to happen to them."

Was this really the police? If so… no, it couldn't be. They wouldn't use my dad and Akari against me… Would they?

I decided not to take any risky chances. "Referring to your question earlier, yes. I know Beyond Birthday. I know a lot about him, including what happen in LA." My voice was firm and serious. "We're alike, him and I. Yes, I know he was planning on looking for you. That why I joined him. To find you."

His voice lowered with suspicion. "Do you know who I am?"

I laughed bitterly. "Of course. You're L, correct?" Silence. That was all I needed. I was right. No, Beyond was right. His plan led us straight to L. L, with black hair and plain clothes. The one from the hotel. This was him. It had to be.

"You are in some serious business Ms. Miyoshi. The crimes that you committed," sneaking into a hotel room without permission and tailing the police chief, "could get you in serious trouble. I hope you understand."

I scoffed. Okay, L, I'm done messing around. "I hope you understand something: I'm not playing around anymore. I'm hungry, tired, and sick of seeing black. I want to talk to my friends and dad again and be let out of these chains. I want to talk to you."

"I'm afraid you can't talk to me," he replied firmly. "You won't be allowed to leave. I'm also afraid that your transgressions have led you to becoming arrested. You will be facing punishment."

I scoffed even louder. "L, let me go. For crying out loud, this seems illegal."

"I have jurisdiction," he replied solidly in a monotone voice. I sighed, not ready to give up. I still had one more valid card to play.

"It seems that we both have something powerful. You have authority, and I have your real name. I wonder who's gonna come out on top." Again, a chilling silence.

"Impossible," came the whisper. "You're lying."

"Oh, I am?" I snorted. "Would you like me to say it out loud? I'm sure the people in the room with you who are listening to this would love to hear your real name. L L-"

"Wait," came the sharp, jagged voice. "What do you require, Ms. Miyoshi?"

"Three things," I replied with a smile. "I call them the 'Three F's To Contentment'. Freedom, friends, and food."

An unwilling, reluctant grunt came from the speaker. "Anything else?" the voice spat low and bitter.

I smiled. "I'd really go for some pocky. Oh, and Beyond might want some jam. Akari definitely wants some Hello Pandas. If you don't mind." Of course he minded, but who was in control at the short moment?

Oh, right, me.
