So this is it, the last one, the final one, obviously I want to have some humor that has always been part of the fic but this will have some seriousness since it is Death Note related and the season 1 finale is anything but humorous and yet here I am, hope you guys enjoy it.
Also BIG hugs and thank yous to everyone that reviewed, everyone that read and everyone that stayed despite my long absences and still supported me
I love you all!
So here we go! (BTW it's a long chap, after all is the ending!)
L and Light looked around the room wondering were Misa was, when suddenly Higuchi's voice flooded the room
Then once you're fully convinced that I'm the real thing, you and I can get married
L and Light looked around surprised and then both fell on their butts when Misa appeared in their giant screen
"SO HIGUCHI IS KIRA!" Misa said angrily and the screen went black again
Both genii recovered
"So it seems" Light said and stood up and went to help L
"How did you manage to make him confess?" L said as he stood up "And why did you picked him?"
Misa appeared once again on screen but looked happier, now that the attention was back to her
"Easy, he was the one that sent me more messages" Misa said and the screen went black once more
"But how did you manage to make him say that so easily?" Light said
"Well, that was easy too" Misa said when she reappeared on screen "All I had to do was say I was the Second Kira and that I'll marry Kira" Misa said and turned to her side looking satisfied with her wits and her grand tactical maneuvers
"Are you on the general monitoring room?" L said and Misa flinched "That room is for Watari only, how did you get there?"
"Um well the elevator took me there and the door was wide open" Misa said
"Why was it opened? Were is Watari?" L said sounding uneasy
"I was downstairs because a certain someone was making a ruckus in their room!" Watari said coming into screen and pushing Misa away so he could sit
"Sorry about that" L said sheepishly as he looked down at his toes
"Oh yes! Speaking of that!" Misa said coming back to the screen "How dare you use my Light-kun for your weird kink play! You pervert!" Misa screamed, luckily the volume was down thanks to Watari's quick thinking
L only sighed
"It wasn't weird kink play Misa! We both lost a bet" Light said
"Well he lost a bet, I was just playing along" L said and pointed at Light with his thumb
"You lost too!" Light snapped
"You cheated!" L said
"Enough!" Watari's voice was heard and everybody stopped
The rest of the Task Force came in the room
"Ryuzaki, if Misa's information is true, then we need to do something" Yagami Chief said
"Well yes you are right, stating the obvious is quite the job around here" L said, the last part mostly to himself and got a disapproving stare from Light
"So then we need Higuchi to show us how he kills" L said "Wedy, please do your job in Higuchi's cars"
"Only his cars? You have any idea how many cars he has?" Wedy's voice came to the room
"Yes he has 7" L answered
"So you're planning to move Higuchi?" Light said
"Yes, corner him into action, of course this is based in the knowledge that Kira can pass on him power at will, there is not a supernatural being controlling this that may strip Higuchi of his powers, please correct me if I'm wrong, Light-kun" L said looking intently at Light and he knew what L meant
Light closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again after a while
"I believe you are right Ryuzaki"
L nodded at Light
Today was the day; everything was set
Matsuda was in Sakura TV, the broadcast had just started and everyone was in position and watching.
Light could see L's tail swinging, despite his bored face, Light knew he was exited, and he had to admit that so did he
They were, after all, going to catch Kira today
"He is doing exactly as we planned, it's kind of terrifying" Light said
"Get used to it, Light-kun" L answered
Everything was going good until it seemed like Higuchi had already tried to killed Matsuda and then it became dangerous when he killed a cop with just his face
"It's time to go in, Light-kun" L said as he stood up
"Yes its time" Light said
"I'm sorry for this Misa" L said as he tied Misa to the chair "Precaution only"
"Light-kun do something!" Misa said
"I'm not sure what to do Misa" Light said and Misa looked at him in a murderous way
Light flinched
"We'll be right back!" Light said, trying to sound cheerful and quickly left behind Ryuzaki
"I didn't know you could drive a Helicopter" Light said "I also didn't know Watari could use those clothes" Light said slightly shocked at Watari's assassin's clothes
"He doesn't wears this often, does he?" Light asked L quietly
"No he doesn't but he likes to do so every time he gets" L said looking back for a second at Watari and his happy face
Light only cringed
"Here, you could need this" L said and handed over a gun to Light
"You know Japanese citizens can't carry guns, don't you?" Light said
L smiled "I knew you were going to say that, I bet your father would answer the same way"
"Then why did you ask?" Light said puzzled
L crooked his head to the left "I don't know, inner bet I guess"
"Higuchi is escaping!" a voice said
They quickly gave chase and soon Higuchi's car was stopped by Watari's sniper skills, Light was very impressed.
"This is it, it's over" Light said
"So it seems, for now" L said
"You don't sound very convinced" Light looked at L
"Well, who would? We just captured this Kira, there is no guarantee that another one will not pop out of nowhere"
"We caught one, we have to be optimistic that this will be the last one!" Light said a little exasperated "and even if another comes out we will chase it and find it! We will keep fighting! Keep fighting until-"
"Until what? We run out of humans?" L said looking back at Light with a sly smile
Light looked back at him uneasily but with determination in his eyes
"Until then it seems, but it won't be such a hardship if I have Light-kun there with me" L said looking back at the arrest scene
Light smiled "You can count on that, Ryuzaki"
"Thanks, although I think we should focus on this Kira right now, your dad apparently has become insane" L said and Light looked and heard his father scream and then several others complaining about some notebook
"Bring it over here" L instructed, once he touched it and saw the shinigami, a million thoughts went through his head but some seemed to stand out
Two notebooks! There has to be two notebooks out there!
His detective mind also granted him another thought
He is Kira, Light-kun has to, no; he really is Kira
A slow sentiment of contentment kicked in, he had been right all along but the treacherous emotional side of him, one that had developed over the passed weeks also kicked in.
When he had told Light he was his first friend, it was a complete lie, he didn't consider him a friend, he was his suspect, no more.
However being chained to the man and the exceptional following of events really made them have a connection and Light truly became his first friend, to have such friend, such exceptional mind to be Kira, really made L sad, he was going to lose all that but deep down he also knew another truth
He would definitely turn him in, heck! He could be married to Light for 10 years and still turn him in but the sad feeling didn't go away.
L got out of his inner self-discovery to find that he no longer had the notebook
Light did
And let out a terrifying scream
I've won
"I'll check the names written with the victims," he said
Just as planned
Light carefully followed his plan and reached for his clock
All I have to do is kill Higuchi while I touch the note and I won't lose my memories, once that is done; you are next, Ryuzaki
Light got flashbacks of some of their time together but he only grimaced
You are lucky I have all this planned out Ryuzaki, because right now I want to give you a slow painful death, by my hands would be even better
How dare you humiliate me in such way?!
I may have been a doe-eyed fool but no more, you are dead now, Ryuzaki
Light then finished writing Higuchi's name
Now all I have to do is wait 40 seconds, this will be the longest 40 seconds of my life
Light then made the mistake to look to his side, over his side window
Out there was no other than Yoru, but his eyes were a deep, glowing red
Yoru then leaped towards Light but disappeared in a thin cloud of smoke
Light jumped in his seat and lately realized his mistake
When he jumped, the hand that held the Death Note let go of it and it leaped into the air
He saw with horror and in slow motion how his other hand remained touching the Note with only the tip of his fingers as it continued his trajectory behind L's seat
Light stretched his arm like his life depends on it, and it kind of did but with just the tip of his fingers he couldn't grab a good hold on it and the seat belt didn't let him stretch more than his seat
He had 3 fingers touching the note, then 2 and then only his middle, longer finger
NOOOOOOO-!
His deep scream filled his head and then nothing.
Light then blinked several times and quickly forgot the Note, unbuckled his seat belt and leapt out of the helicopter
"Yoru!" Light said trying to scream quietly, calling back his cat
L was in shock, looking intently at the wide open door that Light had just exited, he had turned to look at Light once he heard him gasp, then he saw how the Note was moving away from Light's hands but what really shocked him was Light's face
He looked terrified, and he himself looked terrifying, his eyes were like when he first met Light and what made him suspicious of him, they were cold and calculating.
He saw the sweat that appeared at the side of his face, the grit of his teeth and the sheer determination to catch the Note and when it left his hand, nothing
His face softened and his eyes became like the ones he looked at for the past weeks, he blinked several times and left the helicopter.
L's mind was running a million thought a second again!
He did it again, just like when he was restrained in that cell, it just doesn't make sense, or it is perfectly clear.
"Are you alright, Ryuzaki?" Watari's hand on his shoulder brought him back to reality, he saw that his other hand had the notebook
He must have caught it once it left Light's hand
"Don't let Light touch the notebook" L said to Watari and with just one step he crossed over Light's seat and was near the door when Watari grabbed him by the tail
"There are people out there, Ryuzaki, you can't be seen" Watari reminded him
L looked back at him distressed, Light was out there calling for Yoru, he too shouldn't be seen, he turned his sight back outside and was met by Light's face
L felt relief when he saw his friend, not his suspect
"Yoru was here!" Light said exasperated "He had red eyes and was here but disappeared in a cloud of smoke!"
"I believe you-"
"No you don't! I just told you a cat had glowing red eyes and disappeared in a cloud of smoke!" Light said still exasperated
"He turned me into a cat and I still have cat ears and a freaking tail! Anything you say at this point I'll believe it, now you have to get back inside, we mustn't be seen, you could be easily recognized by other police members" L said then they all heard a grunt and the Task Force's muted shouts
L quickly got back to his side and reached the Chief, Light got inside and also grabbed his headphones
"What is going on?" L said
"Higuchi is dead," The Chief's voice said
Light felt a small ache on his head but it was over in an instant
- Back at HQ -
Everybody was busy reading the instructions and being generally amazed or terrified of this murderous weapon and the shinigami, for L was different.
Light changed, he was his friend once more, but will he become Kira again?
Light had demanded the Note back, Watari said no but L let him have it so he got his hands on it and he didn't change at all, something was going on but at the moment Light seemed to be completely innocent thanks to the rules in the Note
Too innocent, too perfect, that has always been what made me the more suspicious of him
For now Light and Misa were free, and just like Light predicted, there was no Kira in the coming week, or the next.
- In the next week -
Ryuzaki was alone at night, staring at his computer
"Are you alright?" Light said quietly and took a seat beside L
L flinched
"We haven't played in a while" Light said but L didn't answer
"Something is worrying you, is it me? Do you still believe I'm Kira?" Light continued
L's silence answered the question
"I can't believe it" Light said exhausted
"I am concerned about my previous worry, Kira may rise again" L said
"And you think it's me" Light said and left
"I know it will be you, or at least orchestrated by you" L said without looking back
"How can you say that!" Light said turning back to look at L, and was met by L's back
"He told me" L said
Light didn't understand until he heard a mewl behind him and turned once more and saw Yoru there, by the door
"Yoru! I'm so glad you're back!" Light moved to grab Yoru and was met with a hiss from Yoru, Light saddened and took a step back
"What is the matter?" Light said and looked how Yoru circled him and then went to L's lap, L turner his chair around with Yoru happily in between his legs, getting as confortable as possible since L was sitting in his unique way
"I still have the ears and tail for a reason, Yoru can communicate with me that way, I don't hear a voice; an idea or images just pop inside my head" L said
Light was still in shock and hurt about Yoru's rejection but heard L clearly
"He showed me what you lost" L continued and he looked down at Yoru and caressed him across his back, Yoru was falling asleep
Light looked puzzled at L's last words
"What I lost?"
"Your memories, from when you were Kira" L said and caught Light's eyes
Light's eyes widened
"What do you mean by my memories?!"
"We were right, the decision to forfeit the Death Note is completely at will, you lose all your memories related to the Death Note, and that is what you did, I'm actually quite impressed, we are here now because it was part of your plan, and you were surprised that Higuchi did exactly as we said"
"How can I accept that? Obviously I think myself incapable of doing such things, did Yoru showed you my memories? Can you tell him to let me see them?"
"No" L said all too quickly and clutched Yoru harder and closer to him
"We think is very dangerous for you to have them back, and perhaps not the best thing to do in your actual state, your true self"
"What do you mean by that?! I can't just accept this madness!" Light moved a few steps closer, clearly annoyed by this whole ordeal
"The Death Note grants a feeling of power to the owner, obviously anyone would feel powerful or with an advantage with such weapon but the Death Note needs to be used, The Shinigami are forced by rule to ensure the Death Note is used, the Death Note itself corrupts the owner, it's the darkest part of you intensified, culminating with you loosing yourself, your ideals and morals" L said with a worried and equally exasperated face, if this didn't go right, he might lose his friend
"The Light from the Death Note feels different from you, the normal you" L stayed silent and his ears twitched as Yoru looked up at him
"Yoru is willing to give you a glimpse of yourself as Kira" L
Light approached Yoru and L
L extended his hand to Light, Light took it and shook at the sudden images and feelings, he could tell it was him, it felt like him but as if they had taken out all of his flaws and intensified them, leaving all his morals behind just like L said
He would never play with a woman's feeling yet he had done so with Misa, and would do it again if needed
He would never harm his family, yet he was willing to kill them if it were his last resort
He also saw how he killed all FBI agents and Naomi Misora without regret or remorse
A chill ran down his spine, he would do all that to keep himself alive, to keep Kira alive.
Kira; the God of the new world.
He was Kira; he was a God.
He was the last hope humanity had, the only one that could take and accomplish the challenge! People depended on him to pass righteous justice upon those who tainted society!
He and only he could create the perfect world-!
Light clutched his head
L had let go of his hand; he knew it was too much for Light
Light slowly opened his eyes
"I really am Kira, I really am capable of all that" Light said sadly
"I hope you understand we can just give them all back" L said
"It's okay, I don't want them anyway" Light said as he let himself fall on the chair next to L
Yoru finally paid attention to him and stretched his neck towards Light from L's lap
Light smiled and caressed Yoru's head
"He is very happy to hear that" L said and smiled "Otherwise we would have to kill you" L said with the same cheeriness of his first statement
"WHAT?!" Light sat up immediately
"Well we do have to get rid of Kira" L said "I did promise to send him to his execution"
"You are the only person that can say that so easily"
"Me and Kira" L said and smiled
"Please don't remind me" Light once again let himself fall on the chair in exhaustion
"So what do we do now?" Light asked after a moment "What had you planned out once you captured me?"
"Honestly the same as when we tricked you into thinking you were getting executed, I have a name to live up to, and you know I have a big ego, you must know this is my biggest case yet"
"And now? Will I get executed?"
"Don't be silly, one of the perks of being L is that I got to decide Kira's punishment, I basically would sentence him to the rules and laws of a country with death penalty so yeah it would be easy"
"So what will be my punishment?"
"Social work" L said with a smile
"Excuse me?"
"Well I dictate that Kira will have to repay all his crimes with servicing the community in the capture of the dangerous criminals he pursued in a more legal way, obviously L will have to monitor his progress"
"Would you really do that for me?" Light said looking at L and sitting straight "More importantly, are you really going to say that to the Interpol?" Light said disbelievingly and with a small laugh
"I'm L, I can say whatever the hell I want to the Interpol and they will have to accept it" L said with a smile
When Light only stared at him and raised an eyebrow L gave out
"Well my report will have to be that Higuchi was Kira and the criminals were only a facade, obviously the gran schemes Kira, you, made first would be planning from an inner circle that feared for their lives but didn't know who was Kira and that ultimately help in the capture of Kira, since they were hostages their identities will remain a secret and have been forgiven" L said
"So in short you will tell them what actually happened" Light said
"Well yes, minus you of course" L said "I will also ask for the information to remain in the Interpol" L said
"Why? The world doesn't need to know Kira is, well, dead?" Light said "What about your ego?"
"Well I guess I will let this one die out, people will eventually find out that Kira is gone, I'll let you win that one Light"
"So is that it?" Light asked
"Well yeah, that is it, but remember Light, we gave you this second chance because we know you are worth it, do one step back to Kira and I will send you to your execution" L said completely sure
"I'll keep that in mind" Light said and Yoru hopped to Light's lap and started to purr
Light was more than happy to be on Yoru's good side
"How are we going to explain it to the Task Force? They know there was a Kira before Yotsuba, I was the one to point it out after all" Light asked
L only grinned back at him
"We are a couple of geniuses, how challenging is to trick easily lead people?"
"So you are closing down the case?!" Matsuda yelled
"Well yes" L responded "Yesterday Light and I sat down and put everything on the table and we agreed that closing this case down will be the best"
"You trust my son?" Yagami dad said with disbelief but hope as well
"Well the Death Note has very strict rules" L said
"L and I agree that there was a Kira before Higuchi but with his capture we also discovered that the power passes on by will and by forfeiting the Note the memories and ownership are lost, meaning that the first and second Kira may have given up the Note just like L explained" Light continued
"However the Note clearly says that once a name is written you have to keep up, otherwise you'll die in 13 days" L said
"So Kira and the second Kira must have thought that by forfeiting the Note they would be safe from the rule since they had no relation to it"
"Except they probably weren't, and the first and second Kira are now probably dead" L said
"But why would they forfeit it?" Aizawa said
"Well we had a leak of information once, we knew it was a student, it could be one of Light's schoolfellows or even one of his teachers, they also share schedules, with a prominent student such as Light, my focus would go on him, not a normal person and we had to do a lot of cover up on Misa's arrest, there were some people around that asked a lot, besides is public knowledge that Misa supports Kira due to his parents' deaths and she did said she was Light's girlfriend, meaning that I did grabbed the bait but would soon know it would lead to nowhere" L said
"Also some of them knew me years before, they know my father is the Chief of police and that I had helped solve some cases" Light continued
"Obviously I would know Light is innocent at some point but also that meant L and Light could get in touch and Light's righteous personality would mean he would ask to be part of the team, meaning that the most intelligent student and the best detective in the world would team up against him"
"He probably didn't expect L to act so soon, that would make the first Kira feel cornered, L was really close and could grab him any moment so Kira ordered the second Kira to forfeit the Note and he would do the same with his, that way both of them would be free of the 13 days penalty since they were no longer the owners and would be absolutely innocent if L were to randomly grab them or interrogate them at any tine, if the shinigami is as helpful as Rem then they couldn't have known that after 13 days they would be dead" Light said
"We think the first Kira had the plan to recover the Note back, that way the cycle would begin again, he found a notebook of death, he uses it, obviously he never expected to die in 13 days"
"That must mean Higuchi was selected to act as Kira for the meantime to distract L and the investigation and some time later they would recover the second Note, the one the second Kira had, unfortunately we don't know how Higuchi got the Note but it could be as easy as sending a postcard" Light said
"If we are correct in our assumption then that must mean that the second notebook is hidden somewhere, also that means we have to find it before someone finds it, obviously the consequences of the finder being a Kira supporter would be fatal and a new search for the owner would have to start again" L said
"We need to mobilize everyone in here to look for a black notebook, once the Note is recovered we will lock them up both to prevent further use"
"Even better, if we can find the location of the Note without touching it, then we could destroy it before anyone touches it, that would also ensure that anyone involved would die, they would be sent to a death penalty anyway, we would give them the pleasure of anonymity, therefore leaving us with only one Note to take care of and one only we will know" L said
"Yes, once we located the second Note then we can say the Kira Case is closed, obviously if another Note falls here then we are not over but as for this respective notebooks and Case we are done" Light said
"Even if we didn't catch Kira, we can safely say he or she is dead, it's been over a month and the notes are left untouched, obviously this assumption would be better once we recover the second one but we can safely say that anyone that has used it is dead now" L finished
"You always must have the final word don't you?" Light said
"Well of course, I am the leader of this Case if you haven't forgotten Light-kun"
"I haven't but I'm surprised by your ego"
"When you have it, show it" L said with a smile
"Not always! I mean I have a dick and you don't see me flashing it around!"
"Because no one wants to see your dick, Light-kun!"
A gasp was heard; Misa had just entered the building
"Well except for her" L said looking at Misa
"No one wants to see you being a total dick about your smarty pants!" Light said
"My smarty pants save people!"
"Then you don't have to keep showing it off!"
"Boys! I think it's better if we start the search, so we can finally close this case" Chief Yagami said
"Well yes you are right, please go search for the Note" L said and once again looked at Light with a frown, another argument sure to be started
Chief Yagami only sighed
"Just try not to kill each other while we are out" he said
"Don't worry dad, Ryuzaki only has a useless brain"
"Hey! Let me tell yo-!"
When they started bickering everybody started going to the exit
"Wait a minute!" Aizawa said
L and Light stiffened
"If the original and second Kira are dead, then who killed Higuchi?" Aizawa finished
L and Light sweated, they never thought anyone would pay that close attention
Rem was in the room and looked at Misa and remembered Ryuk
"It was me" Rem finally said "I got bored of him so I killed him, I have a note of my own"
"Oh, okay"
L and Light mentally sighed but then continued their bickering as if nothing had happened yet still they paid attention to what they said once the Task Force was leaving
"So were do we look?"
"It has to be someplace secluded, like a park or something!"
"But what if Kira wants us to think that? What if he left the Note hidden in a public place?"
"You are right, let's look for prominent places and look in every crook and nannie, perhaps a safe"
Once everybody cleared out they stopped bickering and looked at the entrance only to look back at each other and grin
"Easy as eating a cake" L said "Told you"
"Yeah you did although you have to say Aizawa surprised us" Light said
"That he did" L then looked at Rem "Thank you, Rem, I know you don't have to help us but I appreciate it, if you need anything let me know"
Rem only made one nod
"I can't believe our reverse psychology would work, I mean a public place? I may be smart but even I know not to leave it so wide in the open" Light said
"Yes, by not including our opinions on the matter they created their own, believing that making the opposite is the right answer since they've seen us do it over and over again, it was quite fun actually" L said
"So how long are we supposed to make them look for it?"
"I do believe we should make our presence once it's obvious they are not smart enough to solve this"
"I give it a week or two"
"I say a week is enough, Light-kun but we have a matter of bigger importance right now" L said and looked at Misa who had a shocked face
Yoru had told them what Rem did, what Misa knew, they just needed to make sure she stayed quiet
- 1 week later -
Surprisingly talking to Misa was easy, convincing her to stay on L and Light's side rather than Kira's was quite easy, removing her from Light would take some more time but Light had acted quite indifferent to her than when he was Kira and needed her attention and loyalty so L knew that Misa may eventually give up or be mad enough to dump Light, although Light would be more than happy to be dumped by Misa.
"So we haven't found the Note" Matsuda sighed and L got back to the present moment
"It seems we will have to get involved, don't we Light-kun?" L said and looked at Light
"I think you are right, Ryuzaki, please keep up the good work, meanwhile Ryuzaki and I will do a search of our own"
"Good work? We haven't found the note, how can that be 'good work'?" Aizawa said
"Well you have helped us know were it's not" Light said with a smile
Matsuda smiled
"You are right! Thank you Light!"
"So were do we start, Ryuzaki?" Light said to L as they moved to the exit
"Well a secluded place would be our starting point, there are enough trees and space besides your school that should be a good place to start"
"Yes, a place not many people frequent" Light said and both left leaving the Task Force with the eyes and mouth opened
L and Light snickered as they left
"Are you okay with this?" Light said since they both had left the building
"Well yes, Kira is not out there to kill me and I've been out before"
"But it was in school, not in the street"
"Well if anyone recognizes me then it would be from To-oh and they know we are friends so it's not odd"
"I'm glad you trust me enough"
"Me and…" L said and pointed at Yoru who leaped on his shoulders
Well I'm glad Yoru took out your ears and tail"
"Yeah, if I had them then yes you would be alone now"
Both of them laughed
"So ready to go in?" Light said, as they were about to embark into the trees
"Light-kun you must know that I'm always ready" L said and entered into the bushes and towards the Note.
"So here it is" Light said as he looked at the floor
"Yes it is" L said as he looked at the same spot and pulled out a mini shovel and passed it to Light
Light took it and started digging
"How long do you think it would have taken us to find the Note if we hadn't known the location already" Light said as he dug
"I think we would have found it in a day" L said "So perhaps today by the afternoon"
"I was thinking more like today at night perhaps, not too late of course"
"Naturally"
Once the little box was out they opened it
Light took a photo
"We need evidence the note was here"
"You even left an apple" L said and smiled
"Yeah and I kinda feel bad for, Ryuk was it? He was hoping to get more apples"
"Well we can't afford to have more Death Notes and Shinigami's around"
"Yes I know, is just a bit sad but still" Light said and lighted up a match, he then gave one last sigh before throwing it to the note and lighting it up
L decided not to tell Light the note he left, the one that said to Misa to kill him, to kill him and be rewarded by Light's love, he was punished enough to know he could be an actual monster
L took out a small extinguisher and once the Note was ash he took out the fire
"We don't want people snooping around, do we?" L said
Light nodded and waved his hand to keep the smoke away from him
They stayed there for a few seconds and then took out a bag and placed the little burned box into it and closed it
Light had the bag and took out the apple from his pocket and took a bite and then threw it at L who caught it and also gave it a bite
"So it's over now," Light said as they got out of the bushed and Light threw the bag in the nearest trash can
"Yes so it seems, have you send the picture to the Task Force?" L asked as they made their way back at HQ
"Yes, Matsuda even answer me with a smiley face" Light said with an amused smile and showed his cellphone at L
":)"
L only frowned
"I can't wait to be working alone again" L said
"Do you really prefer it that way?"
"Yes but now Light-kun will help me, he isn't such a bad case" L said and smiled
"So are you more at ease now?"
"Yes I definitely feel better, thank you Light-kun" L said and looked at Light with a smile
"No, thank you for the second chance" Light said and caressed Yoru's head who had stayed in L's shoulders
"Thank you both" Light smiled
- Epilogue -
"So as we said the location is most likely over the Pacific and not the Atlantic" L said and stopped their communications as he heard the door slip open
Light came into the room
"So have the kidnappers/robbers made any demands yet?" Light said as he sat down next to L in L's recent hideout
Light extended his hand and caressed Yoru's head who was sleeping in L's lap squeezed between his legs and L's stomach, somehow he had made himself comfortable in L despite his way of sitting.
He was tired of playing; the evidence was displayed on the floor behind them with L's former cat toys and some new ones
"Yes they have" L said and handed over Light a piece of paper and laughed, "You should read them, they clearly don't know how precious the cargo they are holding on is"
Light read and then laughed "Are they serious?" and laughed again
"Well besides that we intercepted a coded message from the kidnappers/robbers" L said and lifted another sheet of paper
"OOHH! Give me!" Light said and stretched all the way to take away the paper from L's hand
"Aw, you already made a few ones!" Light said and pouted at L "You know I love to crack codes!"
"I like to crack codes too, I leave the hacking to you, I wanted a bit of code cracking for myself too" L responded and continued talking
"So you crack that and track were it came from while I send a counter offer to pretend we are actually paying attention to their demands, once you are done we will have the exact location of the boat, the hostages and the NASA chip"
Light smiled "And you are still convincing the US army to start looking over the Pacific and remove the boats over the Atlantic"
"I know! I can't believe they don't listen to me" L said and both when to work until they felt a chill from the back of their heads
They turned they chairs and saw a mass of black clouds on the ceiling, their eyes went wide and their mouths dropped
Yoru only lifted his head sleepily
"You have taken something that is mine" A deep voice said coming from the cloud
L and Light were speechless
"Give me back my pet!" He said
Light got out of his shock and stood up from his chair
"Oh no! I'm not giving Yoru to anyone! Who the hell do you think you are to just come and take my cat away?!" Light said as we pointed an accusing finger at the black mass
"I am the shinigami king! Holder of the death notes and sovereign of the shinigami world! I was the one who send Tenebrarum Creperum to you to keep this megalomaniac from killing off the human race" The voice said and the cloud formed an accusing finger to Light
They stayed quiet for a moment until Light cringed
"Seriously? Tenebrarum Creperum? That sounds stupid and is way to long for a cat name" Light said
L nodded from his sitting place and added "His second name sounds more like crepe, the human dessert rather than darkness, besides you repeated the word darkness in Latin so he is Darkness Darkness so yeah it's stupid"
The cloud stayed silent for a moment
"So what do you suggest? Yoru?" The cloud finally said
"Well yeah, it's easy, it's simple and it makes sense! Besides I'm not repeating the same word at least!" Light said
"He is right in that" L said
"Ugh, you can't deal with humans, I should have let you kill them all"
Light frowned
L decided to take things from here
"How about you let Yoru, or um, Tenebrarum Creperum, decide?" L said and took a sleepy Yoru from his lap and placed it between them
Yoru got out of his sleepiness and looked between the cloud and L and Light
Light obviously extended his hands and had a big smile on his face
"Tenebrarum! Let's go!" The shinigami King said
"No more Creperum?" L said with a smile
If they could see his face then it was very possible L had made the Shinigami King frown
Yoru also frowned at the King and went to Light's lap to continue his afternoon nap
"Fine! I'll let you stay with them a few years!" The Shinigami King said and started to dissolve and leave
"Although you should really consider the name change" Light said
The Shinigami King grunted and finally left
Light looked down at his pet
"So, the Shinigami's King pet?" Light said accusingly
Yoru didn't even bother to move, he just went back to sleep with Light's back caresses
Light smiled and looked at L who smiled back, both of them amused but at the same time happy, happy to have Yoru and each other too, more than ever before.
