I squeezed my eyes close, waiting for the bang, waiting for the gore. I only heard a click and after a few seconds, I peek my eyes open to see Mr. Yagami breathing heavy with his head hanging. Sweat was dripping down his face and he was shaking all over. I look over to see Light pressed up against the door, his face as pale as a ghost.

"Did you hear that Ryuzaki? They couldn't possibly be Kira," he breathes out heavily.

"This was a test?" I whisper. I was still feeling shaky from almost witnessing Lights death. "This was a test?" I ask louder, anger bubbling up against my skin.

"What the hell?" Light asks. "Ryuzaki?"

"Yes, I heard. Seems you were correct Mr. Yagami."

That cheeky motherfucker! I'm tempted to kill him myself! I clamp down from saying this out loud, a weird buzzing sound was filling my ears.

"You may bring them back now."

"Affirmative."

Light and I sit in silence as we turn around to head back to the Task Force. It was unnervingly quiet.

I need to calculate my next move. Did Light anticipate this? Surely not.... What will happen now? Maybe we will get to help with this investigation... why does Light look like that? He actually looks like he has no idea what's going on... Could that mean....?

My fears rise up to the surface once more as I scoot over to my window, frantically searching the sky. Searching.... Searching.... There's Rem! Okay... where's Ryuk? It can only mean.... I gasp and cover it up with a cough when both men look at me.

"Sorry, my throats a little dry...," I laugh nervously. Both turn away and I quickly tell myself to pull it together so as not to draw anymore unneeded attention.

It can only mean Light surrendered his Death Note.... Meaning he has no memory of it. Light.... What are you planning?

That evening, I took time to regroup with myself as I showered. I had to stop from moaning when I had stepped into the soft warm water. I had stayed standing under the water until it felt like my legs couldn't hold me any longer and I sat down heavily. Now I was in the corner of the shower with my knees tucked up as the water splashed on my toes.

Memories from today kept replaying in my mind, making me feel restless. I've killed people... but seeing Light almost die made me uncomfortable? Why? Trauma. Has to be trauma, that's all. Why do I feel the need to go see him then?

Rubbing at my face, I force my stiff legs to work as I stand to shut the water off.

We'd been told when we got back that we were welcome to stay here as official members of the Task Force. It wasn't like I had much at my house except my Note, but I wasn't about to bring that here. At least Rem is still here...

Pulling on a huge shirt and some loose, comfy shorts and walk down the hall to the elevator. It was past 2 in the morning and I was tempted to go see Light, but assumed he wasn't awake. Heading down to the main research room, I'm lost in thought until I catch sight of a lone figure hunched over in their seat.

He doesn't move as I walk up and I sit next to him, scanning my eyes over the various computer screens. Untouched plates of fruit and cake sat strewn about everywhere but that wasn't what caught my attention. It was the look in L's eyes.

"You must be pretty upset that me and Light were proven innocent. Where does that leave you?" I ask with a smirk. I sense him looking at me and I turn my head to see him staring at me.
