"Do you really need to go this far, Ryuzaki?"

Light gestured to the long chain of the handcuffs that contained his left wrist and L's right one, connecting Light to L.

The two were handcuffed together…!

"I am not doing this because I want to, you know," L said monotonously, as always.

"Huh… Is this what you meant by being together twenty four/seven?" Misa asked, eyes wide a bit. L nodded. "But– but Light's mine! How are we going to be able to go on dates and stuff?"

"Well, you can still go on dates, but it'll be the three of us," L stated, causing Misa to whine.

"So you are telling me we'll have to like, kiss in front of you and stuff?" Misa asked in a complaining tone.

"I'm not telling you to do anything but yes, I suppose I would be watching."

"Ugh, you're such a pervert! Light is mine! I don't want to share him with you!"

"Well, I do not know what to tell you. He has to stay with me because I am still suspicious."

"So you are saying I DO have to share him with you?? Are you on that side of the fence, Ryuzaki?"

"I do not know what my sexual orientation has to do with Light-kun being handcuffed to me…"

"It has a lot to do with it, you pervert!"

"Light-kun, please make Misa stop talking now."

Aizawa stood up from his chair. "Enough of this!" He exclaimed. "Enough talking about homos and dates and kissing! We should be trying to catch Kira!"

"Aizawa-san is right," L sighed, walking to the chair which made Light stumble as he was dragged behind L, uttering a 'Ryuzaki!'. "We should get back to trying to catch Kira…"

Misa rolled her eyes and huffed before plopping down on a couch angrily.

"Misa-Misa, don't be so upset!" Matsuda said in a cheery voice, smiling and sitting next to the girl. Misa sighed a bit. "I'm sure you and Light will have plenty of time for dates once Light proves his innocence."

Misa seemed to cheer up a bit at Matsuda's words. "I… I suppose you're right… Misa and Light will have time later, I guess."

"There you go!" Matsuda said happily, causing Misa to grin.

Light stole a glance at L, seeing the eccentric man in the chair, sitting the way he usually did, with his thumb placed on his lower lip. Light bit his own lip gently, looking L up and down.

L gazed over at Light, seeing the teenager staring at him. Light blushed and averted his gaze back to the computer screen.

'I can't go checking him out like that!' Light scolded himself internally. 'That's a bit gay. L's going to think I like him or something…'

L looked away and back to his screen as well, unwrapping a candy and placing it on his tongue.

'Why was Light-kun looking at me like that…?' L wondered, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious and insecure. 'Is there something wrong with me that I don't notice…? Or was he just staring just to get under my skin…? Seems like something Kira would do…' L quickly glanced once more at Light before looking away just as quick. 'I shall ponder over this later.'

Kira was sitting in the chair, feeling bored as he wrote more names in his Death Note, when Ryuk flew in through the window.

"Hey Kira," the Shinigami uttered, chuckling. "Light is out of confinement."

"Is that so?" Kira asked wearily, yawning out of pure boredom. He wrote at least fifty names today– give or take a few–, writing some ahead of time for the next few days to come. "Do they not think he is Kira anymore?"

"No, they do," Ryuk stated, picking up an apple from the bowl on the table beside Kira. "L is still pretty suspicious and he's gone and chained himself to Light. Heheheh, Misa threw a good fit about it."

"Well, she IS an actress," Kira chuckled, imagining the blonde throwing a fit. "That must've been pretty interesting for you to watch."

"It was," Ryuk nodded. "It was pretty damn funny in my opinion."

"Hm," Kira hummed, closing the Death Note and pushing it aside. "I've written fifty six names today. I feel accomplished, honestly."

"So," Ryuk began, eating his apple. "Tell me again. Why did you want to frame Yagami Light specifically?"

"Well, Ryuk," Kira started, getting up and moving to the window again, looking at his own reflection. "I chose Yagami Light because if I am ever spotted using the notebook if it's existence is made known to the NPA, then they will assume I AM Yagami Light. It's quite helpful, being someone's doppelgänger."

Ryuk looked at Kira. "Heheheh, yeah, you do look like Light, despite the red eyes, though."

Kira chuckled, smirking. "Of course I do. I'm his doppelgänger, like I just said. Although, I'm closer to L's age than Light's, being twenty two. How old is Light again? Eighteen now or something? And L, he's almost twenty five, correct? Wait, so that means I'm right in between their ages, doesn't it? Right in the middle... Hm…"

Ryuk stayed silent as Kira moved back to the chair, sitting down and sipping a glass of wine.

"Anyway, I chose Light because we look exactly alike. It's also easier to frame someone when you look just like them. Much easier."

Ryuk nodded and grabbed another apple. "So, do you want me to go back and watch Light, or…?" The Shinigami asked, trailing off.

"Yeah, you can go ahead," Kira said solemnly, gazing out the window as he sipped his wine again. "Thanks, Ryuk. Also, take the last two apples with you. You can have them."

"Heheheh, alright, thanks!" Ryuk said, taking the apples and leaving.

As Kira raised his glass to his lips for another sip, there was a sudden knock at the giant door. Kira raised an eyebrow and set his glass down, rising from the chair and walking to the door and looking out the small hole in the door.

Kira opened the door and looked at the now kneeling figure before him. "Mikami Teru, what are you doing here…?"

"Kira, my God," Mikami uttered, looking up at Kira, the one who he admired as his god. "I found 'Him'… I found Birthday…"

"You found Beyond Birthday…?" Kira asked, eyes wide.

"Yes," Mikami murmured, standing now.

"How'd you find him?"

"I don't exactly know, but I found him. He's staying in an abandoned building right outside of the Kanto region, where we are. I accidentally ventured around where he lives and spoke with him after he tried to kill me… I convinced him that I could help him and that you, God, needed his help…"

"Thank you, Teru," Kira said sincerely. "I'm sorry BB tried to kill you though…"

There was a reason Kira needed the help of Beyond Birthday; the fact that BB was on Kira's side and, despite the fact that BB was a criminal, a murderer… Kira wouldn't kill him. Kira knew he himself was a murderer, technically (even though he didn't really like that term), and even though it would probably be hypocritical of him to do so, Kira would have killed BB by now if it weren't for his eyes…

Beyond Birthday was born with the Shinigami eyes, and Kira could use them to his advantage… he could use them to find out L's real name so he could finally kill L… 'Yes, that would be perfect,' Kira had thought when he went over this before.

"It's okay, I'm okay," Mikami reassured, smiling slightly. Kira turned and walked over to his chair, gesturing for Mikami to follow.

"So, when can I speak to Birthday face to face?" Kira asked as he sat down once again, grabbing his glass of wine.

"Whenever you wish, my God," Mikami said, smiling at Kira fondly. "All I have to do is make the trip to go and get him, and I'll bring him back with me. It should only take a few hours for me to do so."

"Okay, then bring him here in a few days," Kira exhaled, offering Mikami a glass filled with wine. Mikami nodded as he took the glass gently. "It'll give me enough time to see what L, Light and the other Task Force members are up to." Mikami gave another small nod.

"Also, I want you to inform Misa that you found BB as soon as you can. I also want you to tell her to slow down on how much she's writing in her Death Note. Tell her only a maximum of seven killings a day. I don't want her to end up drawing too much attention to herself. Wait, you know what? Just tell her to take five pages from her Death Note that she can keep and tell her to give her notebook to you to use, okay? It'll be better that way."

Mikami nodded and gulped down his wine quickly. "I'm going to get going now, my God, if that's okay…"

"Yes, that's fine. Farewell, Mikami. See you in a few days, I suppose."

Mikami smiled before walking out of the room, leaving Kira alone at last.
