Today, L was feeling down in the dumps. He had recently been forced to accept that Light wasn't Kira but he still had his suspicions. He just could not accept that he was wrong. L had never been wrong before and he had no intentions of ever being wrong.

Yet, L found himself strung along on some date rather than collecting evidence and clues on the Kira case. In all honestly this 'date' was not a distraction since there had been no recent leads. However, L felt disgruntled since the date that he was on was not even his own. Today he was the 3rd wheel to one of Raito and Misa's romantic encounters. Still, as he listened to Misa's sappy antics and blatant pursuit of Raito, he felt that he would much rather undergo a root canal.

Nevertheless, there was one upside to this scenario. While Misa reveled in the sweetness of her for Raito, L devoured several delectable sweets of his own.

" Raito, if we were alone we could kiss." Misa cooed.

Before Light could even respond to the suggestion, L stated with disinterest:

" I wouldn't stop you if you kissed now."

" But you would watch." she interjected.

"Yes, I would." he replied calmly.

" That's sick!" she remarked while wrinkling her nose.

" I only do what I have to for the sake of the Kira case." L responded

Misa glared at the dark-haired detective and opened her mouth to lash out a retort, but instead it was Raito's voice that filled the room.

" Misa! Ryuuzaki!" he yelled.

Both of the mentioned persons, turned to look at the teenager.

" Raito, did you have something to tell Misa?" the blond model questioned. L remained silent as he also waited for teen to clarify.

" Yes, could you both stop bickering?" he asked rhetorically.

" But Misa-Misa doesn't think the creepy Ryuuzaki-kun should be allowed to interrupt our date" she whined.

" Misa, come here." Raito said as he held out his arms to her. The blond eagerly jumped from her spot across from Light and moved to sit on his lap.

" Yes, Raito?" she giggled as she fluttered her eyelashes and glanced at the teen promiscuously. Not just Raito, but L as well found themselves blushing from Misa's bold move.

Raito grabbed the girl's delicate hand and pressed his lips on the back of it. An enamored look settled in the teen's soft brown eyes as he flashed her an amused smile.

" Misa, please just pretend that it is just the two of us." he murmured the words coaxingly against her hand. The girl purred at the pleasantly warm sensations of the adolescents breath on her hand.

Misa nodded. " Then it's okay for Misa to do this?" she whispered barely loud enough for the nearby detective to discern.

Suddenly, the blond leaned forward and captured Raito's rosy lips in a chaste kiss. Simultaneously, the girl shifted her hips and placed all of her weight directly onto the teen's crotch. Light gasped from the abrupt maneuver and L could only imagine what Misa's movements were doing to the handsome youth.

Yet, as the idea that Raito might actually like Misa and enjoy her crude advancements crossed L's mind, he felt a constriction in his chest and slight twinge of pain. His emotions bubbled with something akin to anger and before he could stop himself he brought his thumb to his mouth and bit down upon it.

" I'm actually kind of depressed." L sighed aloud.

Misa groaned in annoyance and the teen's eyes turned attentively toward the sleuth.

" Beg your pardon, Ryuuzaki?" Raito asked.

" It is just that there has recently been no advancements on the Kira case and since there is no substantial evidence against Light-kun as Kira, I will have to start over the investigation." L announced

" Ryuuzaki…" Raito began but L cut him off.

" However, I still suspect you of being Kira, Yagami-kun." L stated droningly.

Light clenched his fist and glared stormily at the detective.

" Your quickly becoming the little boy who cried wolf." stated Raito.

L smiled at the comparison Raito had used. It was of a character from a childhood fairy-tale . In the story there was a little boy, who one day decided to play a joke and yell out that there was a wolf coming into the town. So all the elders came running quickly to slay the beast before the boy or any of their livestock could be harmed. However, when the adults got there they discovered the child's cruel joke. The next day, the boy pulled the same prank and once again the others rushed to his rescue. However, the next day a real wolf came and when the child cried out " Wolf! Wolf!" no one came, because no one believed him. Thus, the little boy was eaten.

Raito's comparisons was ironically befitting, indeed. Soon he would loose the complete respect of the other Task Force members if he persisted in his belief that the youth was Kira. What would he do when the day came and visible proof appeared showing Raito was Kira. Would no one hear from his previous cries that held no physical evidence. Well, he was L and he wouldn't need them once he had actual proof of Raito's guilt.

" Well, Raito-kun, I can not help it if all the other shepherds can not discern a wolf in sheep's clothing." L retorted snidely.

With that statement the boy felt his resilience falter. He jumped up from the couch, causing Misa to collide with the floor, and lunged his fist in the direction of the detectives face. His fist greeted the L face loudly and the detective flew back over the arm of the couch. L landed in a heap on the floor and Raito was forced by the chain to follow the sleuth in his airborne descent . The teen landed gracelessly on top of the other male and his mouth crashed down onto the detectives. As Raito recognized the awkward situation he clamped his open mouth , but winced as he tasted blood. The youth looked down to find the source was L's split lip. A thin trail of blood stained those usually lighter buds.

The detective had been entranced by the familiarity of the teen's lips and found that his mind carelessly wandered off to recollect the memory previous encounters with the youth's warm mouth. L placed a pale finger to his mouth and a tingle on his lips due to the sensations the teen had recently awoken.

Raito noticed L's unaware state and took his chance to land another punch at the detective below him. This action caused the raven to immediately withdraw from his whimsical thoughts. He pushed the adolescent off of him and jumped up performing a some strange maneuver of acrobatics in mid-air. When L landed it was on his hands instead of his feet, which were poised in the air. Suddenly, one of L's legs shot forward and with a generous amount of force his foot smacked the teen's face.

Raito sailed backward through the air and landed softly on the couch, which flipped from the force of the teen's collision. L followed suit, but instead of his mouth landing on Raito's, it landed somewhere much more private. His lips acquainted themselves with the Raito's crotch . Something inside the youth's jeans shifted and a bulge appeared to proclaim that it was very pleased to meet L's lip's acquaintance.

L pulled his mouth away from the intimate area, but could not resist looking down to see a moist spot of saliva placed atop the tent in Raito's jeans. The youth's brown eyes were expanded abnormally wide and the sleuth flashed his a shrewd smile. The auburn-haired boy jumped up and dashed out the room, with a bewildered detective dragging behind him
