CHAPTER 24
As soon as Light got in beside L and closed the car door, L said, "Light, you will never again attempt to force me to do anything. You may attempt to convince me, but force is unacceptable. Is that clear?"
He's angry. I'm probably the only one in the world who can hurt him, and that stunt with the reporter must have been very upsetting.
Light said, "I won't. I'm sorry."
Light looked out the back window, seeing Rem soaring behind the car. Thankfully, the invisible tether was long enough that she'd been off by herself during the sex, but now she was being dragged along, quite literally. She caught up to the car and clung to it, partly inside and partly outside, her monstrous head overlapping with L's right shoulder.
L was staring straight ahead, one finger prodding thoughtfully at his lower lip. Light thought he detected a hint of curiosity in L's expression.
L stopped the prodding, looked at Light and said, "Light, what is it that you will show me?"
Light took a deep breath, tried to put a suitably worried look on his face and said, "I'm going to take a risk for you. It is a risk I'd rather not take, but it is probably a minor one. I couldn't think of anything else to say to keep you from disappearing."
Light gave a meaningful look at Rem, to reassure her that he still had things under control, that this was all still part of the plan.
Light continued, "Just as you guessed, there are two invisible watchers that only I can see."
"Shinigami?"
"Yes, that is what they call themselves. One watches me at all times. That one is named Rem. The other one arrives every two days or so, receives reports from Rem of everything that has happened, and then leaves to go somewhere else. I have also been told that there are many other shinigami that I am unable to see."
L's eyes were practically sparkling with life. He had a mystery to mull over, information to process, and that was just the sort of thing to make him excited.
L asked, "Does the one who receives reports have a name?"
"Ryuk."
L said, "Have you ever tried following Ryuk? It could lead you straight to Kira."
Light crossed his arms and said, "Don't you think I've already thought of everything I could possibly do in my situation?"
After a pause, L said, "Will you show me a shinigami?"
"No. As I've said before, that isn't possible. You've already seen some of the things they do, so it isn't much of a risk to show you a little more of that. From judging Rem's personality, I do not think I can convince her to do anything, but once Ryuk arrives for the next report, I think I can convince him to eat an apple in front of you."
L said, "Then Rem does not eat. If Rem watches you at all times, we would have seen her eating on the surveillance videos. The original Kira sent a message saying that shinigami love apples. This would suggest the original Kira has contact with Ryuk."
Rem said, "L thinks very quickly. Do not tell him too much."
Light said, "Don't worry, I won't do that."
L said, "You are talking to the shinigami?"
"Yes. I'm always being scolded and instructed about what I can and can't do. I'm almost a prisoner. I'll be happy when my memories of all this expire."
From the brief uncomfortable look that flickered across L's face, Light guessed that there must have been a strong note of genuine conviction in his voice, a note that L's people-reading skills had immediately zeroed in on.
Well, it is true. Once I can't remember being Kira, I will be happier. I won't have to live with the knowledge that I came very close to killing my own father, having my sanity unravel, and having my planned perfect world tainted by so many flaws that it would probably be worse than the world is now. Plus, after my sanity eroded, someone with much less talent than L would have been able to catch me, and I would have died a pitiful death.
L said, "Shinigami have genders? How interesting. What do they look like?"
"Monsters. Bones. Sharp teeth. Bandages. Yellow and red eyes."
And for some reason, Ryuk wears one heart-shaped earring, but I'm not going to tell L that.
L said, "Describe them both in detail."
"No! I'm already said a lot and I'm uncomfortable in taking this risk. We'll wait until Ryuk shows up, and then I'll try to get him to eat an apple while you watch. That's all. We won't talk about this any more."
To Light's surprise, L said, "That's fair. I won't pressure you about it."
Maybe he does feel guilty about doing this to someone who quite possibly isn't Kira, as far as he knows.
L narrowed his eyes slightly, looking almost mischievous, and said, "If you show me Ryuk eating apples, I will show you the progress I've been making on part of the Kira case. I think you'll find it very interesting."
What progress? The case is completely stalled. There are no clues left, and L has already made all the deductions he possibly could about the clues he already has. No, if he's made any progress, it is on a false lead or something equally meaningless. It has to be.
L shuffled on the seat, absently scratching one foot with the toes of another foot and said, "Watari, please drive us to the facility that has a cage. We might need to keep Light for a little while."
Light said, "What are you going to do?"
"Light, by your own admission it might be two or three days until Ryuk arrives, and you've already promised I can tie you up and do whatever I wish with you. I do not have the personnel or resources to keep track of you in the places I live now. When you are not within my immediate reach, I will lock you up."
"Don't you still have the handcuffs with the chain?"
In almost a monotone, L said, "That would not be acceptable. You would use it as a pretense to seduce me. My mind must be clear as I decide what to do about you."
This is a test, then. He's deciding. I think I passed the first part of the test, but it is obvious he resents it when I use sexual manipulation. I can't appear to be pursuing him too vigorously. I have to show him that we have a genuine connection, beyond sex.
Light changed the subject then, seeking something less charged than sex or the Kira case, talking of all the things they'd regularly discussed during the brief month and a half they'd been college students together. L was a little reserved and seemed out of practice at first, but soon he warmed up to the conversation and it almost felt like they were back to that stage in their lives. There was something incredibly comfortable about the way L would take a philosophy or a point, turn it around, and verbally examine it from all angles while crouched in that characteristic way and indulging in all his little mannerisms.
The journey ended in front of a large, fancy hotel. It felt like time repeating itself, except that there would be no task force waiting in that hotel suite to discuss Kira.
Before L exited the car, he said, "Light, just as with the hotels we used to meet in, all cameras here have been turned away so they will not record my face. They also have detectors on them so that if a shinigami or a controlled victim tries to re-position them, I will receive an alarm."
As L got out, Light said, "I'm glad you're protecting yourself. It is only wise to continue to do so."
When they arrived at it, the top-floor suite was more elegant than the ones Light remembered from task force meetings nearly a year ago; it was almost like a small house within the hotel. Perhaps L had not wanted to create tension before by displaying too much wealth.
The main room looked like an elegant combination of a living room and dining room, and was nearly two stories tall, with a wide carpeted stairway at the back twisting away to somewhere above. L led Light through that room and opened a door to a side bedroom, where the bed had been completely enclosed by a large cage with iron bars.
L said, "You will stay here until I need you. There is a buzzer to summon Watari. He will let you out for bathroom breaks. There are books and games under the bed, and a remote control for the television."
As Watari unlocked the cage, L said, "Watari, make sure you have room service deliver plenty of apples."
Light said, "Wait! I need to tell my father where I am. He'll worry if I just disappear."
With a look over his shoulder at Light, L said, "I will take care of that, and I will also be sure your professors excuse you from classes. There is nothing for you to do except wait for Ryuk."
This is all a test. I have to pass it. I know I can do it.
Light willingly walked into the cage and crawled onto the bed. It felt like being locked up the first time, but in more comfort. There was a large, soft bed instead of a plain prison cot, there were no handcuffs, and there was entertainment.
Still, it was difficult waiting for Ryuk. Rem drifted in and out of the room, and L occasionally spoke to Light through a speaker. Watari brought a meal and also allowed Light a shower in additional to the bathroom breaks. Eventually Light turned off the television and went to sleep.
The next morning, L brought breakfast and though Light desperately wanted to grab L when L unlocked the cage to pass the tray of food through, he held himself back from doing so. After two months without, one encounter hadn't been even slightly enough and Light had felt the burning need building up inside almost the entire time since they'd stopped having sex, getting stronger hour by hour. They talked of neutral things while L re-arranged his own food, picking at it with long fingers, putting a lot of focus into the activity.
When everything was finished and L took the empty tray and prepared to leave, Light couldn't help but blurt out, "What will you do after Ryuk shows you his eating? Will you disappear again and never return?"
In a quiet voice, almost a monotone, L said, "I am still deciding what to do about us."
By the afternoon, L seemed to have made a partial decision, or at least he'd decided to do another part of the test. He let Light out of the cage, put on the handcuffs with the two-meter chain, and led Light to a different hotel suite in the same hotel. This one was smaller, with only three rooms, and it had been outfitted with plenty of computers, desks and office equipment.
Light had already guessed what was happening before L explained that this was where he worked on cases, and that he'd like some help.
L already knows we work together well as an investigative team, but he is testing it again on something other than the Kira case. If he does let me live with him, this is what we would be doing most days.
The need to touch L was getting stronger than ever, but Light resisted and let L direct him to a table covered with stacks and stacks of documents.
L said, "I am working on fifteen cases currently. That is my usual schedule, because there are often long stretches when no new clues can be obtained on a case and to work efficiently I must have multiple ongoing cases rather than waiting. The Kira case and a few others are the only ones I have ever devoted myself to exclusively."
With a hand motion, L indicated the documents on the table and said, "All these have to do with the Reinswald Chemical Company, founded in Italy seventy years ago but currently with all manufacturing facilities and offices located in Germany. There have been eighteen extremely suspicious industrial accidents resulting in deaths over the last three months. Twelve of these have been investigated by the police as possible murders, with no results."
L tapped one stack of documents and said, "As far as the documentation shows, the Reinswald Chemical Company has been following all laws and regulations for health and safety. Everything that has happened seems to be due to freak accidents. Even so, its stock has plummeted in value from all the bad publicity."
L moved partway around the table, stretching the chain taut, and tapped another stack of documents, saying, "Here are all the insurance claims, going back to ten years before these events began."
Light said, "Who do you think is responsible?"
L sat down in a chair and said, "It is not yet at the stage where I have a definite suspect, but the police have singled out Hans Abendroth, a supervisor who was present at most of the accidents. However, there was never enough evidence to bring charges against him, and there is no motive for him. In fact, these events have ruined his life."
Light settled down to go through the documents, speed-reading them and memorizing as much as possible. It was really a process not much different than studying for exams, simply requiring time, focus, devotion to detail, and a good memory. It was also rather like spending days going through thousands of completely irrelevant Yotsuba emails, in search of anything that could be a clue. There was a lot of tedious waiting and effort involved in detective work.
While Light read his way through the stacks of documents, Watari hovered nearby, constantly bringing more coffee, tea, crackers and sweets, almost seeming to guard L from any possibility of getting seduced. L was still receiving more documents about the case, getting new information faxed to him, and L also had a long conversation with an agent he'd stationed at the scene.
It was getting late at night when Light finally stopped reading. He was still not entirely done with all the information but an idea had begun forming in his mind.
L noticed immediately and turned toward Light with an expectant look on his face.
Light said, "I think we need to do a thorough investigation of Hans Abendroth's sister."
L said, "That is what I thought as well."
He lied to me, just to see what I would come up with on my own, without any bias.
L continued, "I am not always sure my ideas are correct. When I receive confirmation from someone with the same deductive abilities as myself, then I have more confidence in pursuing a particular path of investigation."
He's saying he needs me, that his work would be faster and more accurate with me by his side.
Light said, "This is just like when the second Kira was pretending to be the original Kira. You deduced it was probably a different person, but when I thought so as well without any hint of your opinion, then you were virtually certain of it."
L tilted his head to the side and said, "Watari, would you go to the other hotel and bring my personal items to the suite upstairs?"
Watari said, "Of course, Ryuzaki," and hurried out of the room.
Personal items? Has he decided to-
Light was suddenly grabbed from behind by strong, bony fingers. In a surprisingly smooth movement, L had swept all documents off that end of the table and pushed Light backwards onto it. Light squirmed a moment, off-balance as his butt hung off the edge, nothing supporting it, but L was attentive to that too and quickly lifted Light's legs to shove him further backward, pinning Light so he was just sitting on the edge of the table, still in a slightly precarious position.
And then L was pulling at Light's trousers, working them off, and Light's underwear too. It was all a complicated operation in the position Light was in, and he could feel himself already getting hard at the fingers so close to his throbbing need.
With a few licks of L's tongue Light was fully erect, straining for further contact, his hands buried in L's hair, his voice mindlessly mumbling encouragements to L. And then that needed contact was there, in the form of L's lips and then mouth and then throat, taking in Light's entire length without choking in the slightest. L hummed, sending a vibration, and then swallowed slowly around the sensitive tip, making Light shudder.
He must have been practicing with frozen, chocolate-covered bananas like I told him to. He wouldn't practice with other people. No, I know him, and he wouldn't.
L pulled back and then plunged down again in a rhythm, slowly at first and then with building speed, still with no choking. It was exactly right, L's mouth attentive and skilled, his movements surprisingly complex, but L's enclosing mouth felt so good Light could hardly think about it. Every movement, every bit of sliding friction, the strong suction and pressure, and all the little tugging movements worked together beautifully.
Light could feel a tremendous rising pleasure within him, about to reach its peak.
He gasped, "Yes, L, just like that. I'm going to come. I'm going to-"
L withdrew and Light could barely stand the ache of that missing mouth. Light reached out to pull L closer but L made a surprisingly agile maneuver, slipping out of reach and then darting back in unexpectedly, flipping Light over with sure, deft strength.
Light found himself on his stomach, his ass and legs hanging off the end of the table, L's bony hands pinning his hips securely.
Light struggled to turn enough to see L, but L pressed down harder and said, "Shhhhh, stay still."
Light felt something hard and slippery, much harder than a dick, pressing at his entrance, and then the object suddenly started vibrating. It had to be one of the anal probes; it was more slender than a dildo but thicker than a finger. Light moaned as it slipped inside just slightly. The vibrations were really loosening him up fast, and he felt like he'd be able to take something much bigger very soon.
L reached around to lightly hold Light's erection in one hand and pressed the probe in further, slowly working in and out, twisting it slightly to put pressure on just the right spot internally. Light was soon panting, wriggling in place, anticipating it, but L held back. L wouldn't start having sex and he seemed to know exactly how to keep Light on the edge of orgasm, keeping that release just out of reach.
Suddenly, L said, "Light, you will not use my sexual needs to manipulate me any longer. If you intend to spend time with me, you will not be the one to dictate the terms. You are the one who is a suspect, and you must acknowledge your proper role."
Light said, "Is this proper, then? You're a hypocrite. You want this as much as I do."
L finished with the probe and withdrew it. Light felt empty inside, almost crazy with arousal. He'd never wanted to be penetrated so much in his life.
L said, "You are correct. It is wrong of me to do this. I cannot seem to help myself, even though I could be risking many lives. That is why, if it is done, it must be done in the least harmful way. I'm sure you agree that a Kira suspect should not be allowed a good opportunity to kill off investigators. One photo of me, placed into the right hands, could trigger a massacre."
L is such a weirdo. Is this really the right time to have this kind of discussion?
Light panted in place, squirming, needing L. L's hand was merely holding Light's penis with a light pressure, not stroking, and Light could feel L's penis just starting to get into position, a presence barely beyond Light's slickened ring of muscle.
Light said, "Then, you admit you are still investigating me?"
"Not officially, but yes, yes I am. I am also aware that Kira is far more concerned with the idea of killing L than the idea of killing N, Mogi, Aizawa, Matsuda or your father, even if L has retired. L was always Kira's most important enemy, and I doubt that Kira would ever believe L had quit or had been surpassed by some other enemy. Out of respect for your father and the others who have willingly risked their lives to catch Kira, there should be special... arrangements every time we see each other."
I do not want to hear L talking about my father in the middle of sex. Why can't L just shut up and fuck me?
Light said, "What kind of arrangements?"
L's hand started moving in short, delicious strokes. Light moaned softly, his mind clouding with lust. His thoughts were just coherent enough to have a twisted admiration for the kind of sexual scheming L was doing, to make demands for these things during sex.
L said, "You will never say when or where we will meet, and you will never know until the meeting is about to start. If it is inconvenient you can decline a meeting, but you cannot reschedule to any time you know. I will send employees to fetch you, not Watari, and I will never come personally. You will submit to a search before being allowed in my presence. Most of the meetings will be in private places, not public ones such as restaurants, museums, parks or concerts. Your friends and family will not visit with me except under very rare circumstances. Do you agree?"
"Yes, yes."
This means I've won. I passed the test.
L was panting then, and Light could feel the pressure on his back as L lay partway on top of him and at last penetration was achieved. Light welcomed that intrusion as he never had before, feeling almost empty each time L pulled back, opening to receive each forward thrust deep within.
There was an urgency to it all, and when L's hand on Light's penis faltered in its rhythm, Light reached up, enclosing L's hand with his own, and helped him, stroking together, bringing on a quick, strong climax, sweeter from being on the edge for so long. L followed a few moments later and then, after cleaning the mess from the table edge and floor, L led Light back to his cage and locked him in.
