The Kiss of Death

Chapter 8- Third Kira Caught and the Death of L

Max's/ Alex's  pov.

Since the night we split up the team I had a bad feeling about what was going to happen. L and Light were spending more time on all of this so I just sat back and looked into the patterns of death, to pick out just who was the third Kira. Mogi has to play the part of Misa's manager so I was left mostly in peace. I kind of hoped that L would let Light free for a while, mostly because I wanted time alone with Light but then there was the whole being watched thing. I hadn't said a word about my crying to anyone, no one needed to know why I got so upset to cry the way I did. I didn't even understand why I was crying so it was best not to say a word about it. Matsuda was worrying over Misa and Light was looking over the criminals who had died recently just like I was. I could see the pattern was different between the original Kira and this third one. In many ways I hated this new Kira, he was killing people who never should have been killed, people who killed only to protect themselves in a situation that was a danger to them and it was kill or be killed. Those people should have never been killed or even planed to be killed by Kira in the first place, the first Kira never did anything like that which gave me some respect for him in a way. I shake my head quickly to clear it so I could get back to work without worrying the others.

Matsuda was worrying over Misa coming back mentioning that it was getting late, I didn't really care where she was. When she gets back she sits in Light lap and I push the annoyance away and keep working, it I was busy then no one would notice how annoyed I was with what was going on. I bite my bottom lip as I worked, something in all the data I was looking at bugged me but I couldn't pin it down. It was hearing Misa talk about sleeping with Light that finally broke me and I bite my lip so hard it started to bleed. "Max your lip." Yagami says and that makes Light look over at me. Misa was out of sigh so he walks over to me and whips the blood off my lip worry shinning in his eyes. "I guess I was to deep in thought." I laugh trying to calm them making them nod their heads. Light frowns a little at my words before he pats the top of my head a few times letting me know he had me. L tease Light about what Misa said making Light get a little flustered. "If I was going to sleep with anyone it would be Max, he wouldn't make a big deal out of it." Light says making me blink quickly in shock. I think my whole face turned red as Light and L look over at me. "Max your blushing." L points out causing me to cover my face with my hands. I hated the fact that my heart was racing, it had been a while since I slept in the same bed as Light to. "Who wouldn't with a statement like that!" I say then busy myself with work once again.

The next day things were running smoothly until that night. Misa went missing then she plays us this recording she made of one of the men who  clams to be Kira and wants to be Misa's husband. Not that I minded the last bit all that much. I think we were all in shock that Misa got this information, and she was able to get it. I had to give her that much but it made me sick that she had gotten it because she was famous and liked to show off her body, I could never have done such a thing. It was useless, pointless for me to use my feminine charms to do anything mostly because I was such a tom boy, if I had been asked to do something like this then I would have failed big time. Was pulled out of my thoughts by L asking Light and Misa  if they remember how to kill as Kira. It was an interesting concept, Light used to be Kira and his power was passed on making him forget how to do it then transfer power to someone else. I didn't like this idea but it was a interesting one to be sure. Light glances over at me to see what my thoughts were as if they impacted him at all. I shrug my shoulders a little giving him a confused look which makes him relax a little before he starts to argue with L once again. Then they start to make a plan for Matsuda to be killed again. Poor buy can't catch a brake can he, I feel sorry for him.  L basically bullied Matsuda into his plan again making me feel bad for him.

Light's pov.

The night of the broadcast Misa, L, Max and I were the only ones that stayed back. I kept glancing over at Max who was oddly quiet, she was sitting back watching everything but she had a worried look deep in her eyes. It made me wonder just who she was worried about. I wanted to sit by her but there was no way I could with the stupid chain plus Misa was around. Then the calls start and Max looks a little shocked by what was going on but doesn't say a thing to interrupt or influence what is going on. I felt a little bad that we had to put off doing anything for her birthday for now. I would make it up to her once I could, take her out to a nice dinner and get her a nice gift. We pull up the feed in the car and the man we were after starts to talk to someone named Rem. Max gasps a little before she coughs as if she was trying to cover it up. She was watching and listening to the car feed more so than before, she even leans forward a little. Max gets up and walks over to the other chair before sitting down in it before looking over feed in the car once again as if she was seeing something that we were missing. "Hey Light do you remember that drawing I showed you that one time?" Max asks as she glances over at me and I had to think about what she was talking about. "What drawing?" L asks as he looks over at her making her shake her head as she waits for me to answer her. "I remember you showing me a few drawings but I can't remember what they were of." I say making her frown a little before she nods her head. "What does that have to do with this?" L ask making Max give a small sigh.
