A/N: So after finishing the first part, I thought "Wow, I'm sad L wasn't in there." Then I thought "How does L react to finding out Light was Kira and that Light killed himself." So, here I am fulfilling this curiosity. Review please!

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note. Trust me if I did I wouldn't have to write fanfictions now would I?

WARNINGS: LxLight/LightxL action (YAOI), L's real name, Language (Mello), and who knows what else…yeah if you don't like, then there's an easy solution my dear reader: DON'T READ! Now you can read if this doesn't bother you. :)

Dedication: I wish to dedicate this story to Insomniac Panda-Chan for being so nice to me and giving me inspiration to start publishing these stories of fiction.

L couldn't believe it. He was right. Light was Kira, Kira was Light. But most of all, L couldn't believe Light killed himself. Light- the embodiment of perfectness. His supposed equal. Gone. He could still remember when he got the phone call from Yagami-san telling him to come to the hospital.

*Flashback*

L was perched in his usual position on top of the cushioned chair in his hotel room, going over the new list of criminals Kira killed. He was scooping up pieces of cake Watari had made him holding the fork between his thumb and index finger as if it were a delicate flower that could be crushed by lightest of touches.

He had sent the other task members home for the night, it was no use having them here helping if they were falling asleep in their seats. It wasn't entirely they're fault, L tried to convince himself, not everyone is an insomniac like me, well at least according to Watari. It was a shame too; imagine all that people could accomplish in a day if they cut back on a little sleep.

So, here he was, sitting by himself going over more dead criminals, trying to find Kira. It was almost pointless though since he was 100% positive Light Yagami was Kira. He just couldn't prove it that was the problem. Light, much like himself, was a genius. Light was just so perfect, so well prepared, so well hidden. L could see behind Light's mask because he too was a genius, but that was it, he couldn't find any cold hard evidence that Light was Kira. He had even monitored the boy's room for Pete's sake! And yet Light's damned mask never slipped, not once. He had a routine L noticed. Light would come home and do his home work, then he ate dinner with his family playing the part of the perfect loving son and brother, then Light would study and occasionally watch TV, and lastly he would shower coming out (still with perfectly groomed hair, mind you) and his skin would be a violent red. It was almost as if the boy turned the water to boiling temperatures then proceeded to rub his skin down with sandpaper.

L almost regrets taking out the cameras after he met Light, to see how Light reacted to their meeting would've been great. But, he had to for Yagami-san's sake, as well as the rest of the team's. He wondered if it would cause a change in Light's routine, the thought of ruining Light's perfectness was just so tempting and it gave him a childish glee. If he could get the mask to slip and actually get a rise out of the boy, he'd eat an apple a day. For a month.

Just as he was daydreaming of the boys beautiful face contorted with rage, yelling at L (the image made him so happy for some reason, and it was making him strangely aroused), Watari walked in the room. He was wearing an odd expression. L could detect a hint of sadness along with shock and maybe horror.

"L, Yagami-san just called from the hospital." Watari paused and sucked in a deep breath, then continued, "L, Light is dead."

L dropped his fork, his larger than average eyes widening to twice their original size. He couldn't comprehend this, how did it happen? Why? Why Light? Why was he so upset? What was going to happen to the Kira case? Was there more? What-

"L, there is more. There is something Yagami-san wishes to show you along with the rest of the task force. He said that the Kira case is solved. Do you wish to go to the hospital?" Watari questioned patiently.

"Yes, please prepare the car Watari; I shall be down in a second." L needed a moment to gather his thoughts. He had to pull himself together, set a resolve not to let any of this sadness show through. He was the great L, worlds best three detectives, and he could do it. Well at least he thought so.

"Of course, when you're ready, L" with that Watari walked out, leaving L to his thoughts.

A/N: Ok so I've decided to make this a multi-chap story- instead of a oneshot like I originally planned- involving time travel so it'll be AU or AR or AT or all of the above! I hope you liked this enough to read on! Flashback continued in next chapter.
