Light rubbed his tired burning eyes and sighed in frustration. None of these files were going anywhere. He opened his eyes and realised the burning hadn't lessened. 'I need sleep..'

He knew L had been watching him since the sigh, and chose to ignore it. No need to give that guy any more reason to be suspicious. Not that it mattered, really.. Light knew there was no way to truly convince the detective that he was innocent, and it would most likely remain that way to the end.

He smirked inside. If L thought he'd be catching Light anytime soon, he had another thing coming. 'Nobody can destroy me, for I am Kira!'

"Kira?"

He turned to the source of the sound. "What?"

Pale lips curved slowly into a smile.

It doesn't matter how smart you are, some things are just reflex.
