You wake up the next morning with the two of you spooning over the covers and facing the pillows which are lined neatly up on the headboard. "Hey (F/N)," A mumble said from behind you "Morning L," You reply quietly pressing your back into his chest for a few minutes; you felt that all was right with the world and that-"Rika we have a call from you directed by Watari on line two," Said that static through the small speaker that you had set up on a bedside table; it's a one way thing so that you only receive and that they can't see or hear anything on your end. The line cuts dead and unwillingly you pull yourself away from Ryuzaki and pick up the phone rolling onto your back, head lying on the pillows.

"Rika speaking," You mumble into the phone "Oh Rika, I need to tell you something." A familiar voice says on the other side. "Kaitlyn what's the matter?" You ask sounding both slightly interested and slightly worried.

Before getting up L pecks you on the lips and leaves the room. "It-it's my older sister Julie...she's dead." Kaitlyn spoke quietly as if afraid of my reaction. You want to scream or cry or hit something because that's what you feel when you're hit by a sense of grief even if you didn't get along with your own sister. "-llo? Hello?"

"Huh, um I'm sorry for your loss," You respond quickly trying to regain composure. "Here's the thing though, Julie had perfect health and no past heart issues," She explains her words fogging up your mind. "I honestly think that-""-that Kira did it." You finish completing her thought. With a few more words her end of the line goes dead and your left staring at the wall, having the telephone hanging limp in your hand the microphone and speaker facing up.

"You ready for-(F/N) are you alright?" Came Ls' concerned voice from the doorway coming into your room and sitting on the bed next to you. "What's wrong?" He asked gentler and softer this time. "My sister, Julie's dead." You whisper out feeling a few stray tears fall down your face. Immediately you feel the embrace of L and you can't believe that he's being like this. "It's okay, It's okay," He mumbles in your ear causing you to laugh sadly. "You know you always seem to say that to me,"

"I know; it's true though,"

"Hey Rem," You wave lazily at the shinigami. "Hello Master," The shinigami responded with. "Ryuzaki, what's the meaning of all this? You've somehow gone for approval from another country to use the notebook for an execution?" He demanded yelling at Ryuzaki. "Ryuzaki what did you do?" You ask walking up to your significant other. Ignoring both you and the agent L sits down and calls up Watari saying, "Watari, excellent work. Thank you." "Not at all," The old man replies.

"First things first -Please make arrangements to transport the notebook immediately."
"Right,"
"Ryuzaki, what are you trying to do?" Light cuts in through the twos conversation, sitting next to him. Picking up a spoon for his small cake L responds with, "I'm gonna try out the notebook fully." Of course everyone including you gasps. "We can't do that! And there is no point in testing it now where we already know that the notebook's power is real!" Aizawa shouted.

"And besides, who's gonna write the name?
If someone starts writing in the notebook, they'll have to obey the 13-day rule and keep writing names forever!" This time Matsuda's protesting. "It's already been worked out," Ryuzaki clarifies, "The person who will write in the book is a criminal scheduled to be executed in just over 13 days. If he's still alive, 13 days after writing the name, he'll be pardoned from execution."

The agents gasped while you're just staring at L. "But L, to sacrifice a-""-we are very close!If we work this out, the entire case will be solved!" L cuts you off. Looking away from him you see something that scares you to your core; it's Rem and her eyes had one a bright and alarming red. The lights suddenly went out and it caused shouts going off from everyone. "L? L!" You shout making your way through the dark being stopped by another visual. Watari groaned and moaned clutching his heart and falling onto the computer but right before he collapsed the visual blacked out.

The next thing that got onto the screen was a big white digital sign saying-"Data deletion! What the hell is going on?" Aizawa shouted while the generator turned back on the lights. "I told Watari to make sure that he should erase all information in the event that something was to happen to him." L says sounding unemotional. Sounding nervous you tug at Ls' arm saying, "If something would happen?"

"Could it be..?" Mumbled Matsuda the moment realization poured into Ryuzakis' eyes. "Where is the Shinigami?" L demands causing you to look around the room with fear written on your face; letting go of Ls' arm you walk a few feet away and start calling for Rem. "Where's the notebook?" You ask alarmed realization hitting you. 'No Rem, no Death Note; what if...' You trail off your thoughts and look to L with a horrified look on your face. "Ryuzaki!" You shout getting his attention "Everyone the shiniga-"

His eyes widened he drops his spoon. "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no," You whisper running over to him. L drops to the ground being caught by Light dropping to the ground with him.

"L, L?" You ask completely panicked. Running over towards Ls' fallen body you check his pulse. Nothing. "Get me an adrenaline shot!" You scream at the agents the words spewing from your lips. A few snap out of it and scramble to find an Emergency Aid kit. The air was pressed out of your lungs and you yourself felt like dying, you felt like you were choking. "C'mon L, say something damn it!" You scream at the body wanting nothing more than to hug L and for him to return the embrace. "I'm sorry..." He trailed off voice growing dimmer.

The agent comes scrambling back towards you; throwing the adrenaline that you catch, hand still uncontrollably shaking.  Moving the needle above his heart you plunge it in. "Come on...come...on," You start sobbing and you feel pain, wishing it was a heart attack, that Kira has chosen to kill you now. But no, it wasn't; it's the unfamiliar feeling of heartbreak.

You make up something in your mind, to end this or to find something to bring back L. Until then you decide to finish what he-L- left behind and to find Kira, screaming into his chest, "Why are you sorry, why are you sorry?" First you lost your sister and that closing wound was ripped open and doused in acid and poison.
