Destiny with Strawberry Flavor
Note: I do not own Death Note or any of the characters in this story.
Warning: In later chapters there will be a Raito (Light) and L pairing. Please enjoy and review.
'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!' Raito mentally yelled at himself. He had let his guard down, he had slipped. Even though it had been such a small slip it surely wouldn't go unnoticed by L. Ryuk laughed behind him, it was one of those times he wished he wasn't the only one who could see the god of death. It would look weird if he started to beat up the air. It would make him even more suspicious as well. L hadn't said anything yet but Raito was sure that L was formulating a plan to prove that Raito was Kira. If he just hadn't said that the criminals were dead before he had even looked at the television or listened to a radio maybe things would have gone better.
"Um…" Raito said wracking his brain for an escape without getting himself into more trouble. "I'm going to get something to drink." Raito said walking out the door before anyone could stop him. Raito fought with the machine for a bit before it took his money and gave him his drink. "It always works for them… Its at least worked once maybe if you try it again." Ryuk said. "What are you talking about?" Raito murmured into his drink so that if anyone was watching him they wouldn't be able to read his lips. Ryuk laughed. "It helped you with Misa. I was just thinking that if you used it again it might make things better." Ryuk said laughing. "Do I have to repeat myself?" Raito growled into the drink. Ryuk told Raito his idea and Raito dropped the drink on the floor.
"You've become clumsy, Raito." Soichiro said helping clean up the spilt drink. "Your red is anything wrong?" Mr. Yagami asked. Raito shook his head regained his composure. "No, I might be getting tired of commuting back and forth." Raito said. His father nodded. "Well you do stay here late, if you weren't my son I would wonder how your homework was doing." Mr. Yagami said standing up and taking care of the drink. "I'll talk to L about it, just make sure you don't work yourself to hard." Mr. Yagami said going back in the room to talk to L.
"Why would you suggest that…" Raito whispered his head bent as he picked up the cup once again hiding his lips. "You're thinking about it though." Ryuk said. Raito ignored him and tossed the cup away. 'As a last resort or fallback plan, only. I just need more time to think.' Raito thought walking into the room and bracing himself. If he had to he'd improvise, and he'd definitely have to be prepared for the worst.
