"Adrian!" Hirakata cried as she chased the young detective to where he was standing by the door, about to leave Whammy's House so he could begin the Kira case.
"Yes?" he asked the girl hurtling toward him.
"Good-bye hug." She said as she wrapped her arms about him. Quickly, L began hugging the girl back as he smiled slightly. Her head rested on his chest and the couple simply stood there for a moment, both knowing it would be a long time before they saw the other.
"Be careful in Japan. This Kira guy makes me nervous." Hirakata said through his shirt.
"I will, and you should know that I always am. You need to keep a good eye on the successors, though." He carefully pushed her away.
"Why does it feel like I'm a little kid, not your girlfriend?" She looked at L imploringly.
"Maybe it's because you tend to be forgetful and childish?" He ruffled her hair.
"Meh! You're even more childish than I am! It's because I'm surrounded by kids all day, every day." she replied, crossing her arms.
"See?" he smiled at her again before leaning close to her. Hirakata met him halfway and they shared a tender kiss.
"If you take too long, I'm coming." she said after they broke apart.
"Mm, perhaps. Kira seems very dangerous, and I don't want Hira-chan to be put in danger." L said.
"Adrian!" Hirakata bopped his head, "No one, not even a genius, would place me with working for L, the illustrious and mysterious, not to mention adorable, detective." She pouted, but smiled again once L had kissed her forehead. Her comment was rather true. One would not expect a tall Goth to work for and with L.
"Now, listen, be good while I'm gone or until you meet me." L said sternly.
"Fine, fine! I love you. Come back quickly."
"I love you, too, tenshi. I will." He replied in Japanese. Their lips met once more before Watari, who suddenly appeared, cleared his throat.
"L, it is time for us to depart." He said, smiling at the unlikely couple. Hirakata was a black-haired young woman who was absolutely excellent in the kitchen and with weapons, which is how she caught the attention of Quillish Whammy. L was also black-haired, but he was an amazing detective, known as L, Earldo Coil, and Denevue.
"Good-bye!" Hirakata yelled as she waved crazily until she couldn't see the black car anymore. From the back seat, L was also waving. After the house was out of sight, he pulled out his laptop to begin reviewing what little they knew of this new serial killer who killed criminals.
