" So, they were different this time. "

    " Yes, here are the images. "

L sat his computer in his lap and faced it towards me. I looked through all the pictures carefully not missing any details.

   " We can't have these get out to the public. "

   " That's why I told the chief. Kira was just testing the inmates. We can't give him the results of the tests. "

   " What is he trying to achieve by doing this? "

   " That's what I've been asking myself. I can't figure that out. "

   " This is horrible. One ran to a bathroom and died, one drew a pentagram, and then the last wrote a note. This is weird. Kira is testing out his killing ways. Maybe it's to keep us guessing. "

   " Hmm. If Kira used those criminals to conduct an experiment of some sort it means he's about to start something. If he moves now there's a good chance the FBI will notice someone acting suspiciously. "

   " But perhaps he has a different goal in mind altogether. "

   " Could the pentagram and this letter be some kind of message? Got it! "

   " What? "

   " This line right here. "

He pointed to a screen and I read the line. It read ' L DO YOU KNOW '. 

   " Know what exactly? "

   " That's something that'll I'm predicting we will find out later. "

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled my phone out and saw Light's caller Id. I walked away from L and answered the phone.

   " Hey, Light what's up? "

   " Y/n I need to ask you for someone's phone number. "

   " Okay. Tell me the name and I can give you the number. Please be quick I have to get back to the meeting. "

   " You're even meeting after school on Fridays now? "

   " Yes, I am. I may have to work tomorrow too. "

   " You need a break Y/n. We aren't hanging out anymore because of your work. "

   " I'm sorry. We'll hang out together soon I promise. "

   " I'm going to hold you to it. "

   " Fine with me because I'm going to keep it. Who's number did you need? "

   " Kiyomi Takada. "

   " xxx-xxx-XXXX. Why do you need her number? "

   " I'm going to take her out. "

   " You mean a date? "

   " No n-"

   " Light, it's fine if you're going on a date. It's not like we're dating or anything. Go have fun with Kiyomi. I have to go. I need to get back to the meeting. Bye."

I hung up and slid my phone back in my pocket. I walked back over to L's desk and searched through the papers. I read through most of them to retain the information. I tried not to focus on Light and his date but it kept coming to my mind.

   " So, Light's going on a date? "

   " It seems so. "

   " You don't seem happy about it. Are you sure there are no feelings for Light? "

   " Do I not look happy? "

    " You look to concentrated. Like you're trying to focus too much on the papers. Meaning something is on your mind and from your conversation earlier it seems that it would be about Light and his date. "

   " I don't know. I'm happy he is going on a date, but I don't know why but it hurts. "

   " Maybe some undug feelings? "

   " But, I've never thought about Light and I being together. I don't understand why I feel hurt. "

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and realized that L had stood from his chair and is standing beside me. His hand felt warm on my shoulder. 

   " I wouldn't worry about it. Feelings are complicated if you ponder on it for too long you'll be too wrapped up in it. "

   " Thanks, L. "

He nodded and walked off and I decided to follow him. He lead us to the kitchen. I leaned against the counter as I read through a piece of paper and waited for him to finish. I could hear him rummaging through the fridge but not finding what he was looking for.

   " What are you looking for? "

   " Strawberry cake. "

   " Want me to make you one? "

   " If you don't mind. "

   " Not at all. I'll make one. "

He nodded and leaned against the counter. I stood and started gathering ingredients. I set them all together and started pouring the ingredients into a mixing bowl. When I grabbed the bag of sugar I poured a small amount in the bowl. Before I could lower my arm I felt my arms being grabbed gently.

   " Add more sugar. "

I looked to my right to see L behind me. His chest was against my back as we stood in our close position. His body mimicked mine. 

   ' Why is he so close? ' I shouted in my head.
