CHAPTER 11
L watched Light and Misa on the monitors. Yes, Light was exiting the side entrance and Misa was running to greet him. Did they have some kind of arrangement, signals that were exchanged when they met? If so, it couldn't be too complex because Misa was not good at memorizing and they probably hadn't spent enough time alone together to work out anything complex. It probably was just whispering in each other's ears, as they'd been doing at the side entrance ever since Misa had been released.
Well, this time, unless Light was able to signal her that there was danger, she might whisper compromising facts in his ears, and it would be recorded. It might even be incriminating enough to actually prove that both of them had Kira's power. Misa had been the second Kira, right? There had always been more solid evidence in her case than in Light's case. Yet, with everything that had happened, things had become very confused and muddled. It was more difficult to be sure of what was happening. L had many theories that sounded good, but he knew testing them was another matter. Some theories simply couldn't be tested right now, not unless an opportunity presented itself.
But then, L saw that either Light had indeed successfully signaled Misa to be quiet, or she had changed her behavior for some unknown reason, because the two of them were just hugging and barely talking at all. Their habit of vigorous whispered conversation was not being repeated this time. What had Light done or said to tip Misa off? Had he truly done anything at all? His behavior was so unsuspicious.
Perhaps Misa had the ability to see inside rooms where she wasn't personally present and could see the entire task force watching and listening in this room. But, if she could do that and could also kill with only a face, then everyone should already be dead. As with so many things about this case, the reasoning just went in circles.
Then, their hugging stopped briefly, and Misa complained about not ever having sex and asked Light to go on a date with her. Light refused but then suggested a make-out session right there on the steps. And, Light was enthusiastic, suspiciously so. L knew Light did not like Misa. Light's kisses were hard and sloppy, his hands sliding along Misa's hips suggestively, he was even moving her around in his lap, in essence getting a lap dance, and his erection was unmistakable. With the way he angled his body to show the cameras exactly what he was doing, he was doubtless trying to make it apparent. It was quite obvious it was a show, a display, a deliberate attempt to provoke jealousy.
L shifted his feet uncomfortably, using one to scratch the other. Light was petty and proud, but was that really the only intention here? It could be part of the signaling process. Perhaps Light was using this uncharacteristic enthusiasm as a way of telling Misa not to discuss Kira-related topics. It couldn't be a coincidence that both of them were breaking the pattern of their earlier meetings, could it?
L stirred restlessly some more. Did this really need to go on so long? He had a feeling... he really wanted to kill Light. And when Light at last unlatched his mouth from Misa's mouth, L's feeling didn't go away. He still wanted to kill Light, and he couldn't take his eyes off him, switching the screen from one camera to another to follow Light's progress all the way back in, and then, once Light was there in person, L had to resist an urge to go up to him and slap him. Instead, he simply watched as Watari approached with the handcuffs. But then, Soichiro asked to speak with his son alone, and Watari took that opportunity to ask for a private conversation with L.
L quietly followed Watari up to Watari's control room, a place where every door and elevator in the building could be remotely locked or unlocked, and dozens of monitors showed various video feeds from cameras located all over the building. L quickly sorted through the cameras until he found Light and his father arguing in a conference room. Watari turned off the sound of that video feed and said, "You can watch that later."
L hopped into a chair and pulled his knees to his chest, looking at the floor. He knew where this was going. Watari rarely became angry, but when he did it was most often a quiet anger like this, a kind of boiling just below the surface.
Watari flipped some switches, cutting out power to the cameras and the microphones that were recording what was happening in this room.
Watari said, "We are in total privacy now, no matter how good at hacking Light is. Ryuzaki, I know you think of yourself as one of the smartest people in the world, but nobody can be an expert at everything. You have only a theoretical understanding of sexual topics, especially of the emotions that can be triggered by sexual relationships. What you are doing is very dangerous."
"I agree that it is dangerous. Light is most likely Kira. Having sex with him could compromise the investigation."
Watari said, "Then, why do you do so? You can tell he is playing games with you, can't you? What he did with Misa just now provoked more emotion from you than I've seen in a long time. He is already getting to you and manipulating you."
L sighed. He had to say something to satisfy Watari, but, could Light hear this through his new powers? This conversation needed to satisfy Light as well, to lead his thoughts in the right direction, to make him feel as if he were winning over a vulnerable, confused L. Getting Light off-guard was perhaps the only way to put him in a situation where he could be trapped.
L said, "I don't know what is happening."
"This isn't like you."
Watari was looking at his face, thinking hard.
Then Watari said, "You need to see a prostitute. You know that we can find one who is entirely clean and we can arrange it so nobody else knows about the visit. A person's first sexual relationship always feels more special than it actually is. I think what you have with Light is mostly physical. If you realized how easy it is for a stranger to make you feel almost the same way, then you would be able to let go of this mistake and conduct the investigation the way it should be."
L looked Watari hard in the eyes and said, "No."
Watari said, "If you won't, then can you promise this relationship with Light will end?"
"I am not sure if I can stop."
"Then, you are out of control and you need to admit that you must do something drastic. You should see a prostitute. It is for your own good and to save your life and my life and probably many other lives as well."
L turned his chair so his back was facing Watari, put some true anger in his voice, and said, "No. I will not follow your suggestion."
In a low, angry voice, Watari said, "I will leave if you continue to make such poor decisions."
"You would leave me all alone with someone both of us think is Kira, just because I won't sleep with a prostitute?"
"L, you know that isn't what I mean. I am trying to save you."
"I can solve this case no matter who I am sleeping with. I will save your life and my own."
"I will leave because it is the only way you will see reason."
"Don't!"
Watari shouted, "Then choose! Become celibate again, or have sex with someone other than Light."
"No!"
They were both slightly panting now, neither of them used to arguing. Since the last serious argument, it had been what, two years? And then it had been about diet and health issues, not something this big.
Watari said, "I see. You're trying to use your body as an additional tool to solve this case. Do you think Light will simply confess to you if you have sex enough times?"
"No. That would not fit Light's profile."
"Then, are you trying to manipulate him to gain some other advantage? It is a very dangerous game. Spies and agents who use sexual tactics are the ones who are most likely to defect to the other side. There are emotional consequences you aren't prepared for, no matter how much you think you are. If you had already successfully pulled off this sort of thing in the past with other cases, I might not oppose you this time, but this is your very first try, and you're gambling with your life, my life and other lives. If Light is Kira, he's the most dangerous criminal the world has ever known."
"I already know all those things."
Watari said, "Your decision is final, then? You will continue to have supposedly accidental encounters with Light, either because you are stubborn and truly can't control yourself, or because you think you can use sex to manipulate him better than he can use it to manipulate you?"
L said nothing, but spun his chair back to face Watari and gave him a defiant look.
Watari said, "Don't think my threat was a bluff. I will leave if things don't become more reassuring soon. If your most loyal helper leaves, the other task force members will too, if they haven't left even earlier than I do. You would be completely alone with him, defenseless."
"Watari, you would not truly do that. I think you will stay. Now, I think we should discuss the menu for the upcoming week."
That was their signal to start talking in code. The first letter of every third word would spell out their messages. Light would probably catch on to what was actually being said if he heard enough of it, so L resolved to keep the conversation as short as possible, limiting it to the most relevant information.
L began by telling Watari that he strongly suspected Light had the ability to eavesdrop through supernatural means, and that their conversation so far had been carefully crafted to give an impression of a confused and less-than-capable L who was indeed mistaken about his ability to deal with a sexual relationship.
Watari scolded L once more, stating that the plan was still too dangerous and not likely to yield results, and that L was probably fooling himself about his own feelings at least slightly.
L ignored the coded scolding and switched to the topic of the new deductions he'd come up with about Light and the case, particularly the idea that all of them had somehow been forced to accept Kira's power and had then given up that power, either through threats or trickery, but in any case probably through something that caused fear, so threats seemed more likely.
That it had happened while L was confused and feverish was significant, because L was sure that he wouldn't have yielded to threats if he'd been in his usual mental state. Watari was impressed with the deductions, which L used as a point in his favor, to argue that he was just as committed to pursuing Kira as ever.
L concluded the conversation by saying, in code, "I have always been willing to die to solve this case. Handing over a sexual partner to justice is nothing compared to that. I will continue to find ways to secretly tell you my deductions and plans, and that way you will know I haven't stopped trying to figure out if Light is Kira."
Shortly after the talk with Watari concluded, it was time to start the interviews, a grueling all-day process. The Yotsuba members were first. L was curious about whether Higuchi had displayed any abilities like the ones Light seemed to have recently acquired. Of course, it wouldn't be obvious to the others, since Higuchi wasn't that much of an idiot, but there could be some hints.
And, indeed, there was one incident that suggested Higuchi could hear what was being said in the meeting before he arrived. Nothing conclusive. There were also a couple of incidents of Higuchi being caught talking either to himself or to that invisible presence. Since the word "Rem" wasn't overheard, it was unclear if these incidents were like the one in Higuchi's car. L had expected that these men might have had the selective memory wipe performed on them as well, but there didn't seem to be any hint of that. Interesting.
Once Shimura mentioned Misa as a possibility for the second Kira, Light reacted. He warned L to be careful to not let these men know anything that might get Misa assassinated if they panicked and went to Interpol. That made sense, and L complied. Not that he thought there was much chance of a story like that being taken seriously unless someone actually in the Kira investigation said so. But it was best to be careful. L carefully worded his statements to leave the possibility open, and probed for any additional information on Misa, but found nothing.
However, Light was certainly restless now. Light looked more than once at a blank spot on the wall, trying to disguise it as shifting around in his chair and stretching. Was Light restless simply because Misa's guilt or lack of guilt was linked with his own, and if Misa were found to be the second Kira the trail of clues might lead back to him? That had to be it. Still, it was unusual for Light to be this visibly nervous, even though he was hiding it well enough that probably none of the other task force members had noticed. Was it an act, an attempt to drop false clues subtle enough that only L would notice?
L then let the Yotsuba men go and interviewed the 49 police officers that had been present at Higuchi's arrest. Something had happened between the time Higuchi exited his car and the time he died. L wasn't surprised to find that portion of the incident wiped from the officers he was interviewing. After all, if they had remembered, then it would have been pointless to erase the same thing from the memories of the task force. But, how had Kira accessed all these men? From a distance, no less? It should be difficult to even discover whom they were in the first place, but how had the memory wipe been done?
Had it even been Light? Maybe Light wasn't Kira. In order for Light to be Kira, so many strange powers needed to be assigned to him that it began to boggle the mind. Maybe this was breaking the bounds of logic, trying to imagine Light as a more and more powerful Kira in order to make him responsible for everything that had happened. But, if not him, who? There had never been any other suspect for the original Kira who was even slightly plausible. Was this the work of a fourth Kira now, one with freakish new powers?
There should be a way to test it, to see if Light had any abilities like that. The problem was that Light expected to be tested. Light wouldn't use his abilities unless absolutely forced to, and if a false emergency were created, he'd see through it. Light couldn't be tricked in any normal way; he wasn't susceptible to the sort of scheme that had snared Higuchi. No, the only option was to keep digging for clues and hope something turned up that was threatening enough Light would be forced to use his abilities to suppress it. L watched carefully. Perhaps the ideal evidence would be if one of these officers started to say something and suddenly dropped dead. If that happened, it would almost prove Light was Kira.
But then the officers were done with no more incidents, and it was time to interview those who were closest to them, their friends and family, especially about events on the night of November fifth. Fairly soon, L found several witnesses with similar stories, of hearing their loved one speaking as if with someone else, but when approached, nobody was there and the officer had no memory of the event. Several of the witnesses had heard phrases very similar to what Light had uttered right when he'd had his first personality change, a week into his confinement.
L whispered, "Get rid of it. My foolish pride, I just want to get rid of it."
Yes, Light reacted. It was one of those slight things, a fleeting facial expression, a barely-there tightening of the corners of the eyes, the nostrils flaring just a millimeter or so. It was one of those things that the others always seemed incapable of reading from Light, a clue of the type only L could pick up. Light knew something about this.
Was it a real clue, or a fake one he'd planted to confuse his trail? Was Light trying to create the idea that many people had received Kira's power and then lost it, and that the power was involuntary? If he could lead the investigation to that conclusion, without seeming to lead it there, it might save him from execution even if he were Kira. But that wasn't like Kira's profile, or Light's either. Kira should want to see his mission to the end, not try to escape on a technicality.
Next came the story that provoked an unmistakable reaction from Light. This time, even the other task force members seemed to notice Light's reaction. A wife of one of the officers said he'd told her the whole story of Higuchi's arrest. She mentioned a magic notebook, and three screams, apparently one for each person who had touched it. And, that story caused Light to suddenly turn his head to the side and glare at empty space as if he wanted to kill somebody.
This reaction was so strong that it was suspicious. Light had more control than this, didn't he? Light had been far easier to throw off-balance than L had expected. Was Light really that worried? No, no, Light had the ability to be very calm and collected. He'd already weathered very alarming situations with only the slightest signs of upset, which he always got under control quickly. Was it an act, then? Was Light pretending to be worried about certain things in order to lead the investigation in a false direction? Had Light planted clues to confuse things?
Someone with Kira's power would have the ability to plant clues and mess up the investigation. L had counted on that fact when he'd first invited Light to be part of the Kira investigation. L knew Light would try to steer the investigation in particular ways, which would reveal clues to his true intentions. It had worked, partially. Before Light became a part of the investigation, the picture had been very clear. Nearly all clues pointed at Light Yagami, with only a couple of indications that he might not be Kira.
After Light joined the investigation, the case became more muddled, just as L had expected. Someone with Kira's power could easily create false clues or divert suspicion. Kira was trying to create confusion, cover up his trail. Unfortunately, L hadn't been able to catch Light doing it. And then, after the capture of Higuchi, when Light apparently gained new powers, even more confusion had entered the investigation. It was like the earlier problems multiplied by ten. The only advantage was that this time it was completely clear that someone had done something; it didn't look like it could possibly be coincidence as it had before.
Three screams, and everyone who had been seen touching the notebook screamed. Yet, only one scream came from inside the helicopter. Who had screamed? Himself? Light? Watari? And, if only one person inside the helicopter had screamed, did that mean nobody else had handled the notebook that apparently made everyone scream?
So, there were now two competing theories about how Kira got his power. There was the shinigami theory, the idea that someone with Kira's power used a supernatural being to kill, and there was the idea that Kira killed by writing names in a magic notebook. Either theory, or both, could have been planted by Kira, if Higuchi had been controlled before his death or perhaps in other ways. Both theories were absurd. L didn't want to think of things like shinigami really existing, and the magic notebook idea sounded just plain silly.
If Light had been writing names in a magic notebook to kill criminals, that should have been apparent in the surveillance video. So, logically speaking, it couldn't have been him. Unless he used some trick, such as convincing someone else to write for him while he was being watched. And then, in the case of the second Kira, the magic notebook idea seemed to be an even worse fit to the evidence. How do you kill with merely a face if you need to write the name? Do you draw the face instead? And, Higuchi had upgraded from needing a face and a name to merely needing a face. But, when Higuchi killed that cop, he had reached into his bag. It was possible; he could have been writing or drawing. But, Higuchi had received some kind of supernatural power when he'd made "the deal"... perhaps the power of knowing a name by seeing a face?
No matter how silly these clues seemed, they needed to be pursued. Even if they were fake, Light's behavior while they were being pursued might inadvertently reveal something. If Kira used some kind of invisible creature to kill, that would be very difficult to test. How does one look for an invisible creature? But, if it were a magic notebook, then Kira had merely stashed it somewhere. Someone as intelligent as Light would have put the notebook in a place that would be very difficult to find. A monumental search would be required. But, if Kira's power came from a notebook, there had to be at least two of the things.
Though... considering some of Light's weird eye movements, looking at empty space. Could it be a shinigami? There was a way to test that. It wouldn't prove there was a shinigami there, but if the results turned out a certain way, it would be highly suspicious. Specially calibrated cameras could be installed to track all of Light's eye movements and precisely pinpoint exactly which spaces he was focusing on, creating a 3-D map of where Light looked all day, every day.
With enough of that data, it could amount to proof that Light tended to watch something where there was nothing. If there were proof that Light's eyes sometimes followed something that wasn't there, Light would need to do a lot of explaining to get out of it. L slid a hand into his pocket and without removing his cellphone sent a coded text message to Watari, explaining the test and his deductions and what items he would need.
After that, L carefully watched Light for any reaction and said, "Chief Yagami, we need to look for this murdering notebook. If Light is Kira, then the most obvious place to start is your house, but if it is hidden there it won't be concealed in any normal way. I would like to buy your house and everything in it, so the walls, ceiling, floors and all items can be taken completely apart to search for the notebook. Personal items that are not destroyed by this process and that can be put back together will be returned to you, and I can rebuild your house and pay for a place for your family to stay in the meantime."
Light showed no reaction to this. Did that mean the hypothetical notebook couldn't possibly be there, or was Light merely hiding his emotional reaction and developing a counter-plan? Soichiro certainly looked stunned, though.
After a few moments of silence, Soichiro said, "How will I explain this sudden move to my family, and what will I say about why we can't take our things?"
L said, "I will have the authorities fake a hazardous materials leak that requires the area immediately around your house to be evacuated. As for the personal items that survive, we will say that because of your high position in the NPA, you were able to use a favor and send some workers in protective suits to remove personal items from your home and send them to a cleaning facility. To explain why your house is shredded to pieces, I'm afraid we'll need to set off a small explosion when we are done searching, and we'll explain it as gas that was accidentally left on during the evacuation."
Soichiro nodded, a grim look on his face. Disrupting a family's home like this, it wasn't good, but what other choice was there? There were only so many places you could hide a thing the size of a notebook and be assured that others wouldn't accidentally find it. Other than an insanely difficult hiding place within Light's own home, there weren't that many other places that were serious possibilities.
Light probably couldn't have hidden it at college or at a friend's place with a complete assurance it wouldn't be found. Especially not if the notebook made you scream when you touched it. There was a possibility Light could have rented a storage locker somewhere in the city under a false name, but that also seemed unlikely. You couldn't pay too far in advance, and if the payments faltered, the owner would open the locker and either sell or throw away the contents.
No, the best hiding place, the most likely place, in tune with Light's level of intelligence, would be buried somewhere completely random. Light would have traveled somewhere far from home and buried the notebook in a place only he knew, a place secluded, where nobody would see him burying it or digging it up. It couldn't be in someone's yard or on his college's campus, it had to be quite private, where nobody would notice recently-dug ground and investigate. A park or forest or empty lot or abandoned building. But, to dig up every area like that in all of Tokyo, well, it would take forever and be extremely unsightly and the authorities probably wouldn't let even L do something like that.
By the time the arrangements with Soichiro had been finished, it was late in the day and Light desperately needed a meal, so L went along with Light to the kitchen, bringing a laptop with him to continue working while Light sat at the table and ate. Aizawa followed. He was the babysitter for now, to make sure nothing happened. L could tell, though, Light was thinking something, planning something. And, in the middle of the meal, it happened. Aizawa had turned his back and Light quickly scooted his chair over directly against L's chair. In almost the same motion, Light had wrapped his arms around L. L felt Light's hot breath in his ear, and he shivered, leaning into the hug.
Aizawa turned and said, "Stop that!"
L felt Light whispering in his ear, "I want to fuck you."
And then, in the next moment, as an angry Aizawa advanced on them, Light quickly let go and moved his chair over.
Aizawa said, "You two will stop that, and I'm telling Watari!"
L said, "I didn't do anything. Light started it."
Still, as Aizawa turned the full force of his anger on Light and had a short argument with him, L could feel a tingling where Light had briefly touched him. It would be difficult to wait until this evening. But, if Light was also having a hard time waiting, then perhaps something could be accomplished. A trick could be pulled on Light. L used the time until then reviewing video footage of the interviews, of the new cameras just installed in Misa's apartment, and of the "private" argument Light had had with his father. During that argument, Light certainly claimed love quite a bit. Light knew this footage would be watched later. It was probably a manipulative tactic rather than his true feelings.
But, lust, that was another matter. Twice more, Light managed to ambush him with a hug before they were separated. Once it was so quick that Aizawa didn't even notice it, but Light still managed to whisper something dirty than sent tingles straight to L's groin. The second time, it was while they were being watched by Mogi, and Light didn't make any attempt to hide it. Instead, he suddenly pinned L against the wall and started running his hands down L's sides, licking and biting along the edge of L's chin.
L simply allowed himself to be pinned and whimpered slightly, feeling limp and nerveless under Light's touches. Light was so hungry, eager and insistent, his mouth and hands hot and demanding. Every place Light touched, L wanted more and more. There was too much clothing in the way; he needed to feel Light's skin. Then Light's thigh was forcing its way between his two thighs, rubbing deliciously against his crotch, a nice back-and-forth motion, and then, in the next instant, Light had been pulled away.
Mogi didn't say anything, and Light didn't say anything. The two of them just looked at each other blankly, Mogi's hands still gripping Light's shoulders. L simply ignored the scene and casually walked down the hallway, feeling from the sudden slack in the chain that Light had decided to follow. When they got back to the main investigation room, Mogi pulled Watari aside and reported the incident in a voice that was lowered, but still, everyone could hear what was being said.
And then, around midnight when it was time for Light to go to sleep, Watari led them to their new bedroom. L knew what to expect. He had already been watching the new set-up via the surveillance cameras, but seeing it in person was a bit different. Watari unlocked the handcuffs and opened the door, revealing a bedroom that had been neatly split in two by closely-spaced iron bars going down the center. Neither side of the room looked like a jail cell, but that's what it basically was.
L went in his side, and Watari pushed Light into the other side. L immediately went to the bars and ran his fingers along them, pushing and probing. Even his slender fingers could only go through the spaces between the bars up to the second knuckle. A hand job through the bars wouldn't work. A soft penis could probably be forced through the narrow space, but as soon as it began to harden it would be quite painful.
L said, "This is not very good. It partially blocks my view of Light."
Watari replied, "That is why Light has so many cameras on his side, with the video displayed on those monitors on your side. You could hide yourself from him if you wanted, but he cannot hide from you."
L went to one of the computers and checked all the camera angles. Watari was correct. Light couldn't hide on his side of the room despite all the furniture. The best he could do would be to hide under blankets, but he'd always been able to do that. If he could work on Kira-related schemes by hiding under blankets, then there was really nothing that could be done to stop it.
L said, "And, you've got microphones everywhere?"
"Yes," Watari said, "Light should not be able to say anything, no matter how quiet, without being heard and recorded."
L said, "Good," and allowed Watari to close the door, locking both of them in.
Light pushed his bed over to the bars and said, "I think this will be more comfortable for both of us. Why don't you push your bed over too? Then we'll be sleeping close to each other."
L said nothing, but pushed his bed up to the bars alongside Light's bed. Then he settled into a crouch on his bed, turned the screen of his laptop computer so that Light couldn't possibly see it, and tried to decide what would provoke a reaction in Light. If Light could see what was happening elsewhere, there should be ways to prove that.
L put on headphones for the sound so Light wouldn't hear, and played live video from Misa's apartment in one window, and opened another window to re-examine the most critical parts of the interviews, the ones that had made Light react. He replayed them from several different angles, searching yet again for any clue of behavior or tone of voice.
There was no reaction from Light.
Then, L opened a file that had many of his previous deductions listed. These were all ones that Light already knew about. It was time to add to the list, now, when Light couldn't possibly be snooping in a normal way such as by hacking. If Light reacted now, it should almost prove he had a supernatural method of seeing things.
At the end of the list, L typed, "Light erases memories of how his power works by tricking people into accepting his power and then giving it up. Light kills as Kira by writing in a magic notebook."
A few seconds later, Light had an extremely panicked reaction, the worst L had seen yet. Light's face went very wrong for just a moment and then Light was pressing himself up against the bars and franticly talking. But what he said was not what L was expecting.
Light said, "You know it would be useless for me to kill you even if I were Kira, because your trap would catch me as soon as you died. And, you set it up so that there's no way I can possibly deactivate your trap, right?"
L said, "You are correct."
In a slightly calmer voice, Light said, "I just want you to feel safe around me. I know I'm not Kira, but I don't want to see you worried. And, I want you to know that I hate Misa. My relationship with her is only because of your orders. The only reason I would ever do anything nice for Misa is if someone were making me do it. You wanted me to make my love for her believable."
L could only stare. This was certainly unexpected. Not only had Light had a much more dramatic and emotional reaction than L would ever predict, Light was also going on about their relationship. It wasn't like Light to react this strongly. Did that mean it was another false clue, something L was meant to pursue that would end up being a waste of time? Or, was Light having these sorts of reactions for the first time ever because he was very close to being caught, and then was trying to cover it up with worried babble about their relationship?
Still, the timing was so close, it was difficult to believe it had been a coincidence. Typing up new deductions caused Light to have an outburst. It was now almost certain that Light did have the power of seeing things he shouldn't be able to see. If Light did have a special power, then it was extremely unlikely that it was just a random power with no connection to Kira. It had to be part of the Kira case.
If Light's power to see around corners and into other rooms could be proven, then the only remaining important question would be whether Light was Kira himself or a pawn of Kira, and, if Light were a pawn, exactly how he'd been manipulated into the role, willing or unwilling. In the beginning, Light had never acted like a pawn, but, lately, he was acting almost as if he were following someone else's plan or was afraid of someone who was blackmailing him. Was the second Kira threatening the first? No, that wasn't like Misa. Had someone else discovered proof of Light's identity as Kira and was forcing him into some plan or arrangement?
Light lay down on his bed, pressing up against the bars, and said, "Come here, L. Come here and kiss me."
L closed his laptop and placed it on a nightstand, then crawled across the bed and pressed his face as close as it could get to Light's face, the bars preventing the kiss from being completed normally.
L inhaled Light's scent, looked deep into his eyes, and then snaked his tongue between the bars and licked Light's lips.
