"It was gone."

"You think he hid it somewhere else?"

"I have no idea." Y/n groaned.

Y/n and L had this idea to get the book from Light's drawer but it wasn't there. They could have matched Light's handwriting and it could have been something they could use against him.

L told her Light and Misa had been acting different.

Misa called L a pervert and stalker whilst Light had been yelling he was innocent for the longest while.

The thing was, they believed them. Light and Misa seemed genuine.

While Light had been confined, no one died which is odd considering it'd make him more guilty then out of no where, they began dying again.

The two looked at the monitors. Light telling L he's innocent.

L pressed the button on the microphone before him to talk to Light.

"No one has died since you've been in there Light." he lied

Then Misa started talking.

"Let me go! Please let me go! Your video isn't going to sell if it's just me tied here! Please Mr. stalker!"

Y/n face palmed, dragging her hand down the length of her face.

Then it clicked.

She neared closer to Light's monitor, L noticed this.

"Is there something wrong?" L asked

"He's gone." she said softly as the gears in he mind worked.

"What? Who is?"

She turned to the confused detective, "Ryuk is not with him! He is supposed to be with Light."

"Are you sure?" L bit on his nail.

"He said he's required to follow him." Y/n stood, L's eyes following her. Y/n's face dropped slightly as she came to a conclusion, ."He doesn't have the book."

That's why criminals had been dying recently, because someone else is doing it.

"You think he gave it to someone else?"

"Probably a 95% chance. Light wouldn't give the book up just like that." Y/n said

"If he's so clueless, does that mean he lost his memory of it?" he mumbled to himself.

"Maybe, chances are Misa doesn't have her book either."

"If they gave up the book, they'll need to give up only one, chances are they get their memory back once they touch it. That means they have one somewhere, not in anyone's possession."

The girl sat back down, "I think you're right, Light wouldn't give the death note up if he knew he wouldn't get his memories back. What sense does it make to give the books to two other people? That would be too messy. "

"This could be all an act as well." Ryuzaki scratched his head then started stacking sugar cubes on top of each other, "I have a plan but I'd need Mr. Yagami. I'll go down to where he's being held and talk to him."

"Sure, I'll just." she cleared her throat, Y/n hadn't been alone in a long time, "I'll just stay here, I guess." she laughed.

"You might not like what I have in mind so you'll just have to see when it happens." he stood, popping three sugar cubes in his mouth, "I will be back."

Y/n nodded and watched him leave.

She noticed his phone he left behind. She took if off the table, knowing who she wanted to call.

It didn't even ring once because he immediately picked up.

"Ryuzaki."

"Guess again."

"Ms. Y/n?"

"Hello Watari."

"Do you need something?"

"No I'm just bored. How are you? What you been up too these days?"

She heard him chuckle before responding, "I'm good Ms. Y/n, yourself?"

"I'm bored." she groaned.

"I'm guessing Ryuzaki isn't there."

"No one is here."

"I'm just getting some stuff to make for Ryuzaki."

"Ou, What are you making?"

"Basially cakes."

"I thought you bought that." She sat in L's chair, propping her foot on the table.

"I buy some most of the sweets for him, Ryuzaki likes the cake when I make them."

Y/n lit up, getting an idea, "Can I help?" she said a bit too loudly.

Watari laughed, "Of course you can, I'll be there in 10 minutes."

He hung up and Y/n put his phone back.

Y/n stayed in L's chair, spinning in circles. She got up eventually heading to the living room, putting on some music.

10 minutes flew quickly and she heard a knock on the door.

Y/n lowered the music a bit and opened the door. Before her an old man stood with bags in his hands.

"Watari! what a surprise." she joked.

"Hello Ms. Y/n." he laughed.

She stepped aside, allowing him to enter.

He went into the kitchen, Y/n trailing behind.

"So what's first boss man?"

Watari smiled at her, he really did like her and her personality.

He unpacked everything from the bag he had, " All he eats, really are-"

"Strawberry cakes." she finished his sentence whilst looking into the brown bags he brought.

Watari looked a bit taken a bit, "That's right."

Watari gave her a measuring cup and opened the flour for her. He got a bowl from the over head cupboards and placed it before her.

"You take 4 of those and put it in that bowl."

Y/n did as she was told, getting some flour on her shirt in the process. This made Watari laugh a bit.

"You sure are messy."

"I'm a kid at heart."

Watari gave her two eggs and he took one, he cracked his then allowed he to crack the two she had.

He chopped pieces of strawberry and threw some in.

She stirred whilst Watari added all the other stuff into the bowl. Eventually the smell of strawberry filled the kitchen.

"Do you want me to mix? You seem tired."

"Not at all. I got it." she lied, she felt as if her arms were ready to fall from her body

Watari got a pan and she poured it into it.

"How long have you been doing this for him?"

Watari thought for a while, "Years now."

"How long have you been taking care of him?"

He scraped the remainder from the bowl in Y/n's hands into the pan, putting it into the oven. They weren't done though. He planned on making two more.

"I took him in when he was just about 8. When he turned 18 he started travelling and I accompanied him, making sure he had everything and helping when I can."

"If you're here, who's running the orphanage?" she asked, putting the flour in the bowl.

Watari got the eggs, handing her two again, "Some one I trust is in charge." he paused, " What about you?"

She furrowed her eyebrows, "What about me?"

"Ryuzaki told me you lived in England."

She laughed, "Yeah, I lived with my dad there in Winchester."

"If you lived in Winchester then you must know the orphanage."

"Really?" It got her thinking, "There was place called Waller's house... wait no..Wannie's...Wa-"

Watari laughed, "Wammy's."

"Yes!" she face palmed, "Wammy's house. I always thought it was some rich guy's mansion."

"Ryuzaki came from there."

"No way, we lived there and didn't even know it."

"There is a lot of people in Winchester."

Y/n nodded in agreement, it fell silent.

"He talks about me huh?"

"All the time."

Y/n's head jerked back in shock, "What does he say?"

Watari chuckled, putting the second cake in the oven "Good things Ms. Y/n. He mostly asks how to deal with emotions and certain situations so he could be a better person for you."

She immediately smiled, cheeks heated up instantly.

They got started on the third one, repeating the process. Watari chopped up some more strawberries, throwing them in

Watari stirred as Y/n scraped it into the pan.

Y/n placed the final one in the oven.

The two cleaned the area a bit and got the counter ready for the decorating bit.

"So Watari, you don't do anything else?" She sat on the counter as he washed up the rest of the dishes.

"What do you mean Ms. Y/n?"

"Like no Sunday evening golf? or Bingo?"

He laughed, "I hate Bingo."

"What? I love Bingo." Y/n folded her arms.

He wiped his arms with a kitchen cloth and turned around to face her.

"I have a lot of life experience, I learned a few instruments, I used to play tennis."

Now she knew where L knew how to play.

He continued, " I learned chess, draughts and I even tried golf, I didn't like it. I picked up a few classes in other things I wanted to try."

She laughed, "Damn Watari, you really did live a full life, didn't you?"

"I suppose I did." He chuckled.

"You even founded a orphanage, what made you do that?" she popped a strawberry in her mouth

The oven dinged, signaling all the cakes were done.

With oven mitts on he took it out one by one. Y/n hopped off the counter, giving him space to place it.

"I saw all the kids in England alone and traumatized. It made me want to do something about it, I came from a rather wealthy family so it wasn't no problem getting it up and running."

Y/n took icing and placed it on the cake whilst Watari smoothen it out.

"Can I visit there?"

"Would you like too?"

"Of course." she laughed, "I'm good with kids."

"Ryuzaki said you were," Watari chuckled, "I would love to have you there Ms. Y/n. I bet the kids there would love you, they really do need a female role model over there."

Y/n snorted, "Wow/"

"Is something the matter?" The old sweet man asked, taking the time to look at her before continuing.

"No, It's just I just never thought I was role model type."

"Indeed you are. We could get you there and settled in, I'd love for you can become staff and look after the kids. It'll be exciting to have you there actually, I've seen for myself I can trust you."

Y/n saw how genuine he was, he seemed passionate on making this a reality

"What are trying to do? Make me cry?" Y/n sniffled.

They both laughed at this whilst icing the cake.

"Crap." Y/n mumbled, "We're out of icing."

"There should be another bottle on the counter behind you."

Y/n turned around to grab the bottle when she met a pair of dark eyes

She yelped and jumped back, bumping into the counter behind her. That got Watari's attention, he turned also.

"Jesus L, don't you know how to acknowledge your presence?"

There Ryuzaki stood, leaning against the door frame of the kitchen door

"Smells good," he said, leaning off.

"Of course it is, it was made with love."

Watari laughed, "You can't taste it but it's there."

Y/n giggled, "It sure is,"

Ryuzaki felt warm and on some level happy that the two people he cared for were bonding.

"Thank you Watari, for taking care of Y/n while I was away."

Y/n looked at the floor shyly whilst Watari nodded, "Ms. Y/n actually called me saying she was bored."

"Did she now?" he tilted his head, staring the the girl.

"L you have something" she trailed off as she pointed to her nose, telling him that whatever was on his face was there.

He wiped his nose

"No, it's still there."

She walked to him, wiping his nose for him and in the process smearing icing on his nose.

"Much better." she restrained a laugh and looked to Watari who was doing the same.

L noticed this, wiping it again he saw icing on his fingers.

L then wiped it on her cheek.

"Jokes on you I'm already very much dirty."

"Are you now?"

She nodded sharply.

L walked pass her, getting a glass of water and then drank from it, leaving some in it. He walked to her throwing a cup of flour he had sneakily grabbed on her head.

"Now you're very much dirty."

She scoffed, "I should have known you were up to something, you never drink water."

The girl snatched the cup of flour from his hands and dumped the remainder on him then she also took the glass of water and poured it on his head, making it all sticky.

Ryuzaki looked down at her and smiled slightly.

She laughed, patting the side of his face

Watari looked at the man he raised and how much he had grown, feeling proud at what he had accomplished.

"You two take a shower." Watari stepped in taking the cups away from Y/n, "I'll deal with the kitchen."

The two left to freshen up, both of them thinking back on what played out.

Y/n took a while however, she took a long shower.

It was difficult getting the flour out of her hair. Nonetheless she succeeded and was completely flour free. She threw on yet another over sized shirt and shorts.

It was nearing to the beginning of the night and Y/n was tired, excited to go to bed in a couple hours.

She headed to the room where everyone was.

Gaining the attention of the men.

The first thing the girl noticed was the monitors. It no longer displayed Misa, Light and Mr. Yagami in confinement but rather the three in a car.

L gestured Y/n over to him, patting on her seat.

Everyone was clearly invested in this so she kept quiet.

Mr. Yagami whipped out his gun, aiming it at Light.

"The fuck is going on here?" Y/n asked frantically.

"It's alright Y/n." Matsuda reassures.

"Alright? Yagami is about to blow his son's brains out. What do you mean 'alright'?"

"Trust me Y/n, No one is going to get hurt." was all the detective had to say to calm her a bit, he knew she did.

She placed a hand over her mouth, leaning back in her chair more.

L noticed her distress, on the verge of tears. Sure she didn't like Light but being killed by his father is a lot.

L squeezed her arm in reassurance. Y/n placed her hand on top of his.

Mr. Yagami cocked the gun, aiming it closer to his son.

"Light." he said, "From one murderer to another, I'll see you in hell."

The line sent shivers down Y/n's body.

Then he did it, he pulled the trigger and the noise filled the uncomfortable silence, echoing throughout the room.

Y/n muffled a scream and averted her eyes, burying her face in the man shoulder's beside her.

"Y/n It's okay, look!" Matsuda reassures.

She slowly looked at the monitor and sure enough he was alive.

Y/n sniffled, "He used a blank?"

Ryuzaki wiped her tears with his thumb. She hated the fact he has been doing that a lot recently.

"I told you no one would get hurt, I would not lie to you."

Before Y/n could say a word, Mr. Yagami looked into the camera that was planted in the car and spoke, ignoring the confused couple in the back seat.

"Ryuzaki, were you watching?"

He held down the button for the microphone, "Yes, it was a convincing performance. The Kira I know wouldn't hesitate to kill his own father."

"As you can see, I am still alive."

"Alright Mr. Yagami," L exhaled harshly, "As I promised I will end their confinement immediately."

Y/n's eyebrows shot up, "What now?" she whispered to him.

"Misa's life will go back to normal but she will have someone looking after her and as for Light, we will be together 24/7 until we catch Kira. I look forward to working with you."

Y/n scoffed. "Do you really?"

Every one seemed to be okay with the arrangement except Y/n and Misa.

Whilst Y/n was upset that the person she enjoyed being around is going to be attached to that brown haired idiot, Misa was verbally expressing how much she hated it.

At the hotel's living room, the entire task force gathered but something was different.

"Are you kidding me? Is this what you meant by being together 24/7? Looking at you I wouldn't think you were like that, are you on the other side of the fence Ryuzaki?"

L and Light were now handcuffed to each other, a lot more chain links were added to make it longer.

Y/n restrained a much needed laugh but she made the mistake of looking over to Matsuda who was doing the same, they both lost it.

Laughing so hard till their sides hurt.

Every pair of eyes turn to the two.

Ryuzaki shot her a playful look.

The two stopped and grabbed their composure. She cleared her throat, "Not funny."

Misa groaned, "Light is mine! I don't want to share him with you!"

L looked at Y/n. and sighed, "Believe me I am not doing this because I want to, I rather be attached to other people other than Light,"

"Y/n do something!"

Y/n snapped out of it with the mention of her name, "Heh?"

Misa walked closer to her, clasping her hands together, "Can you convince him this is a bad idea?"

She laughed, "Trust me Misa, I hate this as much as you do. If Ryuzaki is attached to that fun sponge that means I would have to see him more."

"Oh come on, you practically have him wrapped around your finger!" She grabbed onto Y/n's shoulders.

L didn't even disagree or try to defend himself, on some level he knew Misa was right.

Y/n sighed, " This was his idea and I support him and all his decisions, even if it's as stupid as this one."

L felt that warm feeling again when she said that, he wasn't sure what it was but he did like it.

"Then how are we supposed to go on dates with each other! "

"Oh you can still go on dates but it'll be the three of us." L said. He seemed so tired to this already and it hasn't even been 10 minutes.

"I'm only agreeing if Y/n is there!"

"Wait what?" the girl questioned

"You need to keep Ryuzaki busy!"

"Are you okay with that Y/n?" L asked.

Y/n tilted her head, giving it some thought, "Why not." she smiled at him

Misa was satisfied when her face suddenly dropped upon realization, "Wait are you also telling me we have to kiss in front of you and stuff?"

She sure wasn't giving up was she? Y/n groaned mentally.

"I'm not telling you you to anything but I suppose I would be watching."

"You pervert!"

This caused Y/n and Matsuda to snicker, she leaned her head against his shoulder, looking down so no one could see her restraining yet another laugh.

"Light, please make Misa stop talking now." L begged.

Aizawa and Mr. Yagami were slowly getting annoyed at Misa. Y/n couldn't blame them.

Light stepped in "That's enough Misa. The police established that it was you who sent those tapes, you're lucky you're not in jail right now."

The blonde gasps, "What are you saying Light? You should be sticking up for your soulmate!"

Light jerked his head back, "What? Soulmate? You said you fell in love with me remember?"

Misa's eyes filled up with tears, "Then why would you kiss me?" she began to hit on Light's chest "Stupid..stupid..stupid."

Y/n laughed silently at how Light didn't move an inch.

"About this love at first sight," L interrupted, sticking his hands in his pockets, "It happened in Aoyama didn't it?"

"So what?" Misa asked in a small voice.

"Why did you go on that day? Did you remember what you wore?"

"I already told you I don't know! Do I need a reason to be in Aoyama? Huh?" She neared closer to the slouched man.

"And when you came back and all you remember was falling in love with a guy named Light, you yourself don't know how you came to know his name."

"Yes!" she neared even closer, inched from his face, it was kind of funny the way L stood his ground and didn't move.

"Tell me, what would you do if Light was Kira."

She gasps and scrambled back to Light, "If Light was Kira? That would be wonderful! I would think of ways I can be of use to him." she awed.

"Wouldn't you be scared he might try and hurt you, Misa?"

"Not at all Y/n! I am a supporter of Kira since he punished the man who murdered my parents."

Y/n thought about this girl and the way she is, all because of built up trauma she hadn't resolved.

L squinted his eyes at Misa, "Hm." he paused, "You just made it painfully obvious you are the second Kira I don't know if I should believe it or not."

He heard Y/n giggle at his statement and stole a quick glance at her before he continued, "As I said before your life will continue as normal, Y/n will accompany you."

Misa beams and hugs Y/n tightly, "Maybe this won't be bad after all!" she giggles.

"For work related business." L continued, "Matsuda would be accompanying you, he'll be your manager Taro Matsui. Don't blow his cover."

Matsuda smiles and waved at her, "Matsui here."

Misa pouted and complained yet again, "This old guy is my manager? You can't be serious."

"What's wrong with me Misa Misa? Is it the hair?"

Mr. Yagami and Aizawa weren't looking happy at all, especially Aizawa.

Y/n cleared her throat, grabbing everyone's attention

"Misa I think we should go to our room now."

"What? Why?"

"Let's leave them to do detective stuff or braid each others hair or something."

Misa giggled, "Fine." Y/n grabs her hand and headed for the door, "Bye Light! Miss you already!"

"Bye everyone." Y/n said whilst exiting after Misa
