Friend or Enemy (L X OC)

51. SHE CRIED

"We first have to stop the second Kira. He obviously sympathises with Kira and isn't very bright. I think he'd obey the first Kira." L explained.

'Oh I know where this is going...' I started to get wary of L.

"He's thinking of making a fake message from the real Kira." "If the real Kira tells him- no her to stop killing innocents and L. She won't do it." I heard a girl say from the door, I could recognise that voice from anywhere. Everyone turned to face Kari except L. Everyone was shocked even L flinched. I was shocked seeing how disheveled she looked. There was nothing wrong with her clothes or anything but her eyes they were puffy and red, so were her nose. Without realising I was filled with worry for the girl. She looked like she cried her heart out.

"If the real Kira tells him- no her to stop killing innocents and L. She won't do it." Confusion hit me like tonne of bricks when she completed the sentence.
'A girl?...The imposter?...What?...How was she so sure though?' Millions of questions crossed my mind in a mere second.

"A girl? Are you sure?"I asked Kari. I received a simple nod. For a while I forgot my original question and turned to L. I was completely unaware that she wasn't told by L what to do.

"And about the plan. I was thinking the same thing Ryuzaki. That might be the best idea..."I hesitated a little before starting to ask Kari about why she cried. I was cut off by Aihara-san.

"But-" I was cut off by Aihara-san. (If you don't remember, Aihara was Aizawa's alias, Shuji Aihara.)

"Wait- Ryuzaki, you said she wasn't going to be here today?" Aihara-san asked.

'Did that mean she wasn't aware of what was going to happen or just that she didn't want to attend even if she knew what was going on? If it was the former, it meant she came to the whole conclusion by herself. It wouldn't be possible if she wasn't aware of exactly how L's mind works. She would have to know what risks he's willing to take. How far he'd take something, and more. That'd mean she's...just amazing. I'd always thought she was good, but this is just taking it to a different level, not that I'm not capable of doing it but-' My thoughts were cut short by L.

"I said 'I didn't tell her we were having this meeting today.' I never said she wasn't going to join us anyways." L answered without looking back.

'That means she did figure all this out by herself. Whoa.' I was internally admiring her while also being being sick with worry. She was still stood there with the same puffy red eyes.

"Don't make it sound like I'm an uninvited guest you dimwit..." I internally laughed at the name calling she did to the greatest detective in the world. It was weird how it almost seemed like she was a completely different person depending on her mood. It hadn't been long since I figured that out.

'Wait- that reminds me...Aren't V and L on the same level when it comes to the detective ranking?...That's right.'

"Anyways, he wants you to play as Kira, Light." Kari completed looking back towards me. She flashed me a small smile, however that didn't help with shock absorption.

"M-Me?" I asked once again turning to L.

"Yes. With your abilities, you should be able to do it. At any rate we don't have time to waste. Could you script a message from Kira...to air on tonight's news?"

"Don't you-" L finally turned around to face Kari, he finally good a good look at her. He stopped mid sentence then continued.

"You're crying." He stated quite matter of factly. An ever so small emotion was evident in his voice. He was worried.

"I was." She'd gone back to emotionless. Not another word and she sat down on the couch I was sitting on just a minute ago.

'Is it just me or is she getting harder to read?'

"Why though?" I asked her. Even if I was curious as to what was going on in her head, I was more concerned of her. At the start, oh how hard I tried to get myself to get over my feelings for her but I just couldn't. I believed she was my weakness and she really is. I'd possibly kill the person who made her cry.

"I know what made me cry but not why I cried...if that makes sense." She answered. No it didn't make the slightest sense...but I could tell she wasn't comfortable with this topic.

"YOU will get the update soon enough though...possibly in less than a minute." She added pointing at L.

'Why does he get to know but not me?...I'm supposed to be her best friend. I wish I could get his name so I can kill him already...I don't want to hurt Kari but...L has to get out if the way.' I thought. L was just simply staring at her. Once again devoid of all emotions.

"So Light? Will you do that for the sake of the investigation?" L asked me. I had no other choice he'd planned it all out. I couldn't say no. It'd arouse suspicion as to why I didn't do it.

"Sure." I replied and went to the couch to write the script. About a minute later L had got a call from someone.

'He tells the others to turn off their cellphones but keeps his on.' His antics annoyed be more than I already was.

He grabbed the phone with only his index and his thumb. He was weird all right.

"Yes?" He spoke into the phone. I kept looking at his face, studying his every move. I needed to do that if I wanted to beat him. A few moments of silence later, I saw the slightest bit shok cross his face before going back to how it was originally.

"Oh...Thank you Watari for letting me know." He said and hung up. He looked towards Kari, with slow careful steps he approached her. He moved his hand so it was on top of her head, she stiffened a little before relaxing into his touch.

"I'm sorry. I should've been more careful." L whispered. He calmly drew circles on her head, as she looked straight ahead. I knew her well. She knew one eye contact with someone and she'd cry. No matter how emotionless and strong she wanted to look she'd always failed to do so with the people she cared. She did however lose those emotions for the past 2 years.

'So it was L who made her cry...That bastard-' My thoughts cut were cut off by Kari saying something.

"It's not your fault. I didn't realise I still cared for him. I was just running away from him, the fact that I still cared...because on the off chance that he'd go as far as to hurt Jace was just too much to handle. I wanted to forget I even had a father. I wanted to forget he was caring and he meant more to me than my mum. But oh well...I found out why I cried." She still looked forward but I could just tell a sad smile probably graced her lips.

'Oh...'
