A/N: I really was not expecting so many hits so that made me a very happy panda! Anyway, I completely strayed away from the written chapters that I made and started letting the story flow through my mind. So on with the story!

Chapter III Accusations, Plans, and Kisses

L had been sitting at his computer for three hours as he continuously typed, trying to hack into Light's medical records. The security was extremely high and it made L more determined to get a hold of Light's records. He had finished reading Light's school and permanent record and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary other than large amounts of absences. That was what caught L's attention in the first place and drove him to hack into a well known institutes computer database. Light was sleeping peacefully on the couch that was nearest the computer. L did not trust the young Yagami and would continue to until he found out the truth. The computer beeped and several files popped up on the screen. L smiled slightly as he glanced back at Light then back at the computer again. He began reading the first file.

Soichiro sat at the dinner table with his wife and daughter. They had been discussing how his day went but no one had brought up the fact that Light was gone.

“Dad, where's Light?” Until now.

“He's with the investigator that has joined our team. The one I told you about. He seems to not have trusted Light because he has requested that Light stay with him for a little while. I just hope he doesn't find out about Light's ability or Light would be in trouble.” Sayu looked at her father in worry. She remembered the times Light had to be put into the mental hospital because of what happened.

“He would not try to use Light if he found out what happens to Light...will he?” Soichiro sighed and bowed his head to look at the table top.

“I don't know. I just hope Light is okay”

L had finished reading the last file. He was slightly disturbed at the evaluations and test results. When Light was three years old, he was omitted to the Tokyo Mental and Psychological Research Facility. He was subjected to different psychological tests that were done to ensure his sanity. Then he was given an I.Q. Test that he passed with an I.Q. Of 210. L had never heard of anything like that but had continued to read. There were numerous brain scans done that were drastically different than what normal brains should look like. Instead of a balance of colors, Light had functions that focused on intellectual and psychic capabilities. His scans differed from proven psychic minds and that scared L. it meant that Light could be unpredictable and might actually side with Kira if he chose to. The files went from three year old Light to the Light Yagami he knew now. The only tests that were being done were the ones that ensured that Light's ability was indeed growing and to see if his sanity was still intact. L also found numerous submissions to the institute during the times that Light was gone from school for a long period of time.

L continued to scroll down the file until he found the answer to his question. Light was susceptible to being attacked by spirits. Very strong spirits that have done harm in the past or want to do harm because of the way they died. L looked back at Light who stirred slightly before falling back into restful sleep. The report explained how Light found out L's name and why he had fallen unconscious and how he knew about Sasha. Sasha. L's eyes dropped to his legs. He always regretted not finding her in time. She was the only person, only human being L ever got close and attached to. She was an orphan like him but she had a chance at a real future. A chance to have a family for the first time in her life, then...a tear fell from L's left eye and slid down his cheek. He missed her. She always made him laugh and she reminded him so much of himself. He gave her a teddy bear for her birthday once but that was before...his heart gave a painful wrench. He had to stop that train of thought before he hurt himself. Before he could close the files and cover his tracks, Light had awaken.

“Lawliet?” L did not answer. He was still not used to someone calling him by his real name. Well, it had been awhile. “Lawliet?” Light's voice was a little stronger. He was finally waking up fully.

“Go back to sleep Light. You have had a long day yesterday.” He heard Light get up and yawn.

“It's already Friday? What...what are you doing!? That's...”

“Confidential. I know but I had to make sure you were not telling a lie. But it has made you become a suspect in the case.” Light sighed

“I figured as much. Have you ever tried letting go of the people that have died during your time as a detective?” Light saw L tense. It seemed it was going to become quite common.

“I keep them in mind because it reminds me why I keep doing this.”

“Your not doing this willingly.”

“No. There is not other information on your ability.”

“My family likes to keep the details hushed but I'll tel you a few things. I am close to the final level of ability but I cannot achieve it unless a certain requirement is needed. Rape will lock my ability until the aforementioned requirement is done. Anyone of my choosing will see what I see but I have to be willing to do the requirement for that.” Light had completely spaced out while he was speaking.

“What are the requirements?” Light blushed and L noticed.

“In order for me to reach my final level I have to be taken by someone who has been fated to me. How I am supposed to know that I don't know but I know that it will happen soon. As for letting people see what I see...I have to be willing to kiss them in order for that to happen.” The blush that was on Light's face had darkened slightly while L tried his hardest not to blush himself.

“I see. Do you have anyone to assist you on this?” The blush disappeared entirely and Light's eyes darkened in sadness. L noticed that they changed to different shades of amber according to Light's mood. 'A human mood ring'

“My grandmother was helping but...she was killed by Kira not too long ago...”

“I'm sorry.” Light chuckled slightly.

“Nekura, behave.”

(I'm about to do something drastic. Be prepared.)

{Alright, but stop telling me to behave.}

“Lawliet” L had turned back to the computer to finish covering his tracks. When Light called his name he had just finished.

“Yes?” Light had took the back of L's chair and spun it in his direction.

“Forgive me” Light leaned down and kissed L softly. His soft lips touched L's for a brief moment. That moment was long enough to stun L.

“Yagami...what...what...no...who is that?” Light laughed softly before looking up at Nekura.

“I must warn you that this is a short term effect since I'm not strong enough to pull it completely off. Anyway, this is Nekura Ookami. He used to be...a friend of my grandmother.” L closed his eyes for a moment. Thinking back to where he heard that name before. Then it hit him.

“The mass murderer Nekura Ookami? You befriended a mass murderer?” Light sighed.

“I'm not going to explain. Too long of a story and I do not have enough patience to tell it.” L just nodded in understanding.

“This still does not get you off the suspect list.”

“I know. But I at least wanted you to know that I was telling the truth. Besides, I can use my ability to track Kira. Somewhere along the line, he has to mess up. He eventually has to reveal his face to one of his victims before they die.”

“Then I'll be by your side to make sure you are not aiding Kira in anyway.” Light gave a weak smile. He knew that was coming. He just nodded before L told him his theory. “Besides, I believe Kira could be a student. Just last week you were omitted again because the death was too close to school grounds and a young woman was going to be rapped in an alley not too far from the school either. I have also conducted an investigation on the investigators working on the case because there seems to be an information leek. There were twelve FBI agents that were assigned to the surveillance were killed. One of which, we have a subway video of. He was looking back into the train, so he must have seen Kira before he died. You were right, he messed up. Will the spirit of the agent be hanging around Kira?”

“Yes. Any type of unplanned death or fate interfering death can cause a spirit to remain in our realm before actually leaving. My family has helped many with that case but some just are too stubborn to let go and move on. What's the agent name?” L looked at the computer screen for a moment before looking back up at Light.

“Ray Penber” Light nodded his head as L went back to the computer and began to make a fake file.

(Nekura, did you get the name?)

{Yeah, and you are risking exposure if you keep this up.}

(He's the one Nekura. I know he is. Something just has to happen to prove it.)

{Whatever you say. I didn't see my fate.} Light smiled as he looked down upon L.

“Oh, Light. For the purpose of the investigation, I suggest you call me Ryuzaki. The name I will use at the school is Ryuuga Hideki.”

“I understand.”

“Light?”

“Yes?” Before Light knew it. L was out of his chair and holding Light in his arms. He could still clearly see Nekura but that was not what he wanted. When Light kissed him, he felt alive and wished it never stopped.

“Was that the first time you tried that ability?” Light blushed at the closeness.

“Y-y-yes, why?” Light did not get a verbal answer. The next thing he knew, L was kissing him softly while running his tongue along Light's bottom lip. It took Light a few minutes to get over the initial shock before opening his mouth slightly to allow L to deepen the kiss. During the entirety of the kiss, Light felt something shift slightly. He did not know what it was but it started to strain his energy. The shift become more noticeable until Light felt something shatter inside of him. The next thing he knew, his vision shifted to look at the supernatural world and he saw a rift that was being created. He saw his grandmother standing in front of the rift as if it were commonplace. She turned to him with a smile.

“The first gate is broken. One more to go.” Then everything faded from sight and Light knew. He was half way to being able to control his gift. L pulled back and stared at Light.

“Thank you.” Light whispered as he fell back into L's arms. He wasn't tired, he just wanted to be there. L didn't understand but held Light anyway. Nekura floated not too far off, a spirit was on the ground and fading away as if it were sand.
