Six

It was the next day and everything seemed pretty average: some of the Task Force members that were supposed to be working were sort of slacking off (mostly Matsuda), L and Light were typing away and Misa was being annoying and pestering everyone (but mostly Light and Matsuda).

Light gazed in L's direction as Watari walked into the room, pulling a small cart behind him filled with sweets for L.

"Thank you, Watari," L murmured, looking up at the older man and smiling thankfully. Watari gave L a small smile in return and placed a hand gently on L's shoulder before leaving the room and L dug into his cake.

Soichiro approached L, smiling a bit. "May I have one of your pastries?" He asked politely. L looked up at the chief and nodded. Soichiro knew that was the go-ahead to seize Light, handcuff, and confine him, so the chief looked over at Aizawa and gave a small nod. Aizawa walked over to Light, catching the attention of the others (especially Misa).

Aizawa quickly grabbed Light by his arm and dragged him out of his chair, causing him to protest.

"What the hell–?" Light questioned agitatedly, struggling in Aizawa's grip as L stood up. Aizawa pushed Light down onto the desk roughly, moving so L could get behind the teenager.

"Light!" Misa cried, trying to go to him but was held back by Matsuda. "No! Don't hurt my precious Light!"

L grabbed a squirming Light's wrists with one hand and handcuffed them with the other.

"I'm sorry, Light-kun, but until we know whether or not you're Kira, you're being put in confinement," L uttered monotonously, lifting the teenager from the desk gently, unlike how Aizawa was handling the boy.

"But I'm not Kira!" Light cried frustratedly, eyes wide and completely innocent.

L shrugged it off as an act; Kira couldn't fool him.

"Then I'm sure you'll have no problem going into confinement to prove your 'innocence'? If you really are Kira, then this'll make you stop playing God."

Light looked into L's black eyes, pleading silently. "Please, don't do this L," he begged. "I'm not Kira, please just listen." He saw L turn away and go sit down the way he usually did. Light turned to the chief. "Father—"

"Son, it's for your own good," Soichiro sighed, looking away. "If you aren't Kira, don't worry."

Light was then taken away and lead to his confinement room by Aizawa and Mogi and Misa was lead out of the building by Matsuda.

L looked at the chief. "Well done, Yagami-san," the raven-haired man uttered, grabbing a piece of cake. "Now let's wait and see."

The chief sighed once more and began to eat a pastry.

"I have some bad news."

The footsteps from the other began to get louder, so he turned, looking in that direction.

"What is it?" He asked, moving away from the window to sit down in the nearby chair. It was storming out, and lighting flashed. "Did you find 'Him' yet?"

"Unfortunately not, but it's about Yagami Light," the other sighed softly, kneeling down. "The Task Force members and L had restrained him and put him in confinement."

"Dammit," he muttered, slamming his fists down on the arms of his chair.

"Kira, my God," the other murmured, standing up and walking towards the chair where he, Kira, sat delicately. before stopping a few feet away. "Do you think we should stop the killings?"

"We're going to have to," Kira muttered angrily, huffing and crossing his arms. "I mean, yes, this is what we wanted; to blame him, but damn Yagami went and got himself confined and now we're going to have to stop the killings for a bit, just until they think he's actually Kira, and then we'll start them back up. And that L guy is smart, and soon he'll probably find out about the Death Note and the ownership and the Shinigami and everything, but I am smart as well. We'll also have to make sure we can drag out framing Yagami for as long as possible, until we cannot use him anymore, and then I know who to use next. Hopefully, we can clear out the majority of the criminals in little time, and then I can really be recognized as God. The God of the new world."

"Hey, you're pretty confident," a god of death, a Shinigami by the name of Ryuk, had commented. "Heheheh, I wonder why, though."

"Because I am intelligent, Ryuk, and I know what I'm doing," Kira told the Shinigami. "I'm framing Yagami until I cannot any longer so I can have enough time to kill off criminals. Were you not just listening?"

"Huh?"

"Just— just forget it," Kira muttered, aggravated. "You know what? You can go look after Yagami for me. Let me know what's going on. It'll be best that way." Kira tossed Ryuk an apple, and the Shinigami quickly gobbled it up, mumbling a 'so juicy'. Kira rolled his eyes. "Okay, now go."

"Heheh, okay, but I'm still on no one's side, you know," Ryuk reminded Kira, looking at him. "Not on yours, not on Light's, and not on L's. I'm just here because I'm bored and you have my Death Note." Then Ryuk flew off.

"That damn Shinigami…" Kira muttered, before turning his attention back to the other in the room. "Well, thank you kindly for coming here with that information. I would like to be alone now. Also let me know if you find 'Him'…"

"Anything for you, Kira, my God," the other murmured, before quickly scurrying off.

Kira moved back to the window.

It had been only thirteen days since Light had been put in confinement. L was almost positive the teenager was Kira; the murders of criminals had stopped and now L was fairly confident that Yagami Light was Kira and he was ready to convict him...

But that was all thrown out the window when the murders started again. There were more criminals dying of heart attacks and various other accidents. L was certain that Kira could kill in other ways than a heart attack, and he was also sure that Kira could control his victims before death, and he was pretty sure over Kira could also pick certain dates and times, but the real question was how did Kira do it…? L pondered this often.

L was watching the monitors that showed Light in confinement again, and he knew that any moment now—

"Ryuzaki."

The voice belonged to Soichiro. L knew it was coming; Soichiro was going to see if Light was ready to be released because he was 'innocent'. Yeah right. Honestly, L didn't believe that he could be wrong in this situation. Light Yagami had to be Kira, all facts lead to it. But then there were the new murders and Yagami Light had been in confinement. L wondered something. 'Could Kira's powers be transferred to another person…?'

"Ryuzaki?" The chief asked, walking into the room.

"I already know what you are going to say, Yagami-san," L stated, not looking away from the monitors. "And truth is, I am not ready to release Yagami-kun just yet. And please do not interrupt." The chief closed his mouth and listened. "Despite the recent murders, I still believe Yagami Light is Kira. I think, that Kira's powers can be transferred to another, and that Yagami-kun may no longer be Kira. However, I am still wary of Yagami-kun, and although there is a possibility that he is not Kira now, and may not murder criminals, I still would like to keep him under surveillance twenty four/seven after we release him. Just as a precaution so that we can tell whether or not he's Kira, or rather, if he was Kira. It should keep things from turning into a calamity in the future if he happens to be Kira."

The chief sighed. "How long until we can release him?" He asked tiredly.

"In one week," L replied, placing his thumb on his lips. "After we release him, I will have to make sure Light-kun stays with me at all times so I can keep an eye on him."

"Okay," the chief muttered, not wanting to argue with the detective any longer, getting up and leaving.

"Yagami Light, we are releasing you today."

Light heard L's voice come through the intercom in the small room and the teenager lifted his head, his eyes wide.

"R- Really?" Light asked, joy evident in his voice as he grinned. "Did you realize I'm not Kira?"

"Not quite," L said, causing Light's grin to fall. "I am still suspicious of you, but the murders had started up again, and there is no way I can think of that you could do that, but I mean, this is Kira we are talking about…"

"If you are still suspicious, then why are you releasing me?" Light asked perplexedly, tilting his head.

"Because we have no real evidence that you are Kira, therefore we cannot hold you in confinement for very long."

"So you're just letting me go?" Light asked. "I'm free?"

"Not exactly." Light sighed at this. "You will have to stay with me twenty four/seven so I can monitor you because I am still suspicious of you, but other than that, I suppose you are free."

"Okay…" Light sighed, ready to come out of that room.

"Someone is coming to get you," L told the teenager, which made Light sigh in relief. "Also, miss Amane is here to see you."

The sigh that left Light's lips this time was not from relief but from dread.

Part two update :D
