I was in my room for a couple of days after L died along with Watari. Hideki Ryuga, Lawliet, why did you have to be so stupid. If you didn't tell Light you were L you would be here. You could've befriended him and just said you were working on the case, not directly say you were L, his biggest competitor.

I was lying in bed on my back and felt it dip. Light laid down next me. I open my eyes and his face was right in front of mine. He had a devious look on his face, especially his eyes. He was smirking. Does he know that I know he's really Kira? Did he figure out who I really am? He must be planning on killing me.

"I love you Shadow"

My eyes widen at the name. I didn't think I'd be called that again, people are thinking that she's dead since they haven't heard of her in so long. It's like I just dropped off the face of the earth.

"Where is this coming from"

His smirk widens. "I just thought I should say it. I wanted you to know before anything more happens"

He gets on top of me, locking my hands to the bed. What is he doing. "Ruby, I know. I seen it in your eyes yesterday"

Ok you're scaring me Light. Stop with the anticipation.

"Know what?"

"You know I'm Kira"

My eyes widen even more and I flip us so I'm on him. I have the same amount of strength as him. It helps to be a former spy.

"So does that mean you're going to kill me?" I say, I'm slowly undoing the shy girl act I worked so hard on.

"What happened to my little shy girl?"

I glare. "You know I'm Shadow. You must've heard Shadow was definitely not like I was. You know it was an act"

"I didn't, truly, until a couple days ago. Seeing you come out of character because your childhood friend died. I'm sorry but it had to be done."

So truth be told, I was a bit shocked it took him that long to figure it out. Does he know that the relationship was fake? Or did he actually love me?

"I've been wondering, did you ever actually love me?" I ask slowly

"That same thought has been in my mind ever since I figured out who you really were"

"Tell me. Do you love me or was it all a part of your plan?"

"At first it was. My plan was to get close to you to make myself seem innocent. But I started to, change. I know you see it in my eyes. Every time you're around I seem to change. I'm not as bad"

I sigh and remove my hands from his arms while sitting up. He sits up and places his hands on my hips. "What about you? Do you love me or was it another part of your act?"

"I-I... I." Why can't I speak. Is it true? Do I actually love him? "It was apart of the act," He looks sad and mad at this.

"But..."
