Chapter 43

Fainting should be my number one hobby.

What did I do when I first saw Light? Faint.

What did I do when I was in front of L? Faint.

What did I use to avoid my responsibilities and dramatize my situation? Yes, I fainted.

My eyes blinked a couple of times before sighing on my bed. Here was another time skip of avoiding my responsibilities. I turned in my covers before closing my eyes again, burying myself in the heaven of freedom and worry-free place before dreaming of a sunny mellow.

I imagined the flowers dancing in the grass and singing the newest pop song in an opera way to amuse me. The colourless wind blew through my hair as the smell of grass filled my senses, dashing and float-

"I should really install a GPS on your phone," I heard a voice speak lifelessly, completely destroying the pure and happy image that I created. I drew a long breath to show my stress before opening my eyes to face the silhouette of a man.

"That would be helpful to you, Light, but I do not prefer you to go stalker on me since that is a total breach of privacy."

"Yet you cause more trouble when your location is not known," Light's honey-brown eyes glimmered for a second before he walked away from the window and plopped down on the bed I was sleeping in.

"Hey, it's not my fault L whisked me away before giving me time to prepare," I muffled my head back into the pillows before I heard a shift on the mattress. Turning my eyes upwards, Light was hovering above me with a skeptical raise of his eyebrows.

My heart quivered.

The shirt that he wore was brown today, a colour similar to his school uniform shown in the anime. The collar was white and had a button up on his sleeves that were pushed all the way up to his forearms. I flipped over underneath him, gazing into his eyes before giving a tired smile.

"So," I grinned while dragging out the vowel. "Catch me up on the information I've missed."

Light heaved a deep chuckle before getting off of me and sitting properly beside my body.

"L was charged for illegal abduction and enforced torture. Although we can do nothing about it due to the fact that he is," Light paused. "Dead, but we have been paid a fee for compensation."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows. "How much?"

"His HQ."

I gaped.

"Wait, so his HQ is a 6 level building, including all the material and technology, and not to mention the property-" I widened my eyes. "Light, that's over at least 8 million dollars!"

"Well," Light pursed up his lips at the thought. "It was more given than actual compensation. Since I am now the successor of the Kira investigation task force, the HQ was the easiest deal that they could give us, not to mention our house was burned during my interrogation."

"Were your interrogations also put on the table?" I wheezed loudly as Light smirked.

"Both mine and Misa's. L was quite rich to be able to provide his property as compensation."

I stared blankly at the ceiling to calculate the things that happened.

L...was no longer the hero.

He was framed as the villain.

"How long was I out?" I uttered.

"A week. We laced you some sleeping pills in your drinks so that you could rest a bit more from the stress that you accumulated in those five days of your abduction." Light answered before rubbing his fingers together.
