AUTHORS NOTE: THIS IS MY FIRST FANFICTION SO I WOULD LOVE FEEDBACK! ALSO BE KIND! THANK YOU AND ENJOY! (by the way I don't own death note or any of its characters… I wish I did lol)
In a market place a girl of around the same age followed L. she had strawberry-blond hair that ended at her thigh and blue-green eyes. This girl was named Myou, Short for Myougami, a life god that guards and watches over the living. She is a peculiar one and oddly enough her name Myou also means 'strange'. This is her first time out of her heavenly training grounds and she knows nothing of human life. She was sent to help this L young man on a murder case. And, now (with her human guise complete), it's time for them to meet…
L was perusing his favorite sweets shop window display wondering what specialties laid within those glass walls for him today. One of his favorites caught his eye, strawberry shortcake. He knew the displays on the outside were fake but he was wondering who created such a beautiful piece to make it so realistic that his mouth watered. practically tasting the berries he thought that he must go inside, the sugary pull of what lay beyond those windows was just too great. He stepped to his right to head to the set of double doors but while he was entranced by the faux-sweets'goodness, he ran into someone.
She hit the ground with a thump on her butt. "Oh, excuse me." He said. He looked down at the girl he just toppled and paused. She was a strange one! Her outfit was a high school uniform, but in all the wrong colors to be from anywhere local. not to mention she was much too old to be a high knee length skirt was a sunny peach color that matched her tie and blazer that she carried in her arms. Her hair, he noted, was impossibly long and a rosy blond color. No, it didn't remind him of roses, but berries. There was just enough color in the blonde to tint it. It looked to healthy to be dyed and he could see no sign of dark roots near her scalp. She looked up at him with big green-blue eyes. She smiled up at him, "oh, I'm sorry! Forgive my clumsiness but I didn't see you there!" he held a hand out and picked her up.
"It's alright." He said as she dusted herself off.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Myou!" she exclaimed, holding out a hand for him to shake. she was taught this as a good natured greeting from human to human.
"I'm Ryuzaki." He stated, not lifting a finger to shake her hand. he glanced back at the shop window.
oh well She thought as she tilted her head to the side and giggled. She struck him as looking like a cute anime character when she did that.
She looked to her side and blushed a little, "so, Ryuzaki, I was wondering if, because I'm new in town, if you would, maybe help me with…"
"If I would help you in choosing something." he finished. He figured that she went in and saw their vast menu and got a little intimidated from the large amount of strange foods. She smiled sheepishly at him. "Sure. When I first came here I had a hard time picking too." Since Light and Misa were out shopping in the busy square on their own he figured helping the new girl was a good way to pass time. besides he was going in any way.
They headed inside and waited in line. She noticed his posture and wondered if she hurt his back picking her up. "Are you ok?" she asked as the stepped forward in line.
"Hm?"
"I mean your back, you're all slouched over. Did you get hurt helping me up?"
"No, I normally stand this way." he said blankly. He was used to a statement of that nature but not in concern.
"Oh." An awkward silence followed them as they made their way toward the counter. She stared at all the new pastries and confections behind the glass display case. Some were cakes and fruit pies, all things she's seen in her world but half of them were either had this brown substance in them or on them, and sometimes both. She even saw cubes of different shades of brown and white lined up in rows. She broke the silence with a question. Pointing at the small brown cubes she asked, "What's that?"
"That's fudge."
"Interesting…" she mumbled.
"Haven't you ever had fudge?" he asked. He raised an eyebrow at her.
"no." she said. He saw the way she was looking at the chocolates section with a puzzled expression and made a decision on what they would order.
The employee that greeted them from behind the counter was a heavy-set middle aged man with deep wrinkles around his smiling mouth. He had a faded green apron on over his white polo shirt and black slacks. A deep voice rang from him, "ah Ryuzaki, my best customer! What'll you have today? Hmm…" he glanced me up and down while a sly smile spread on his already chipper face. "Oh ho! What do we have here! This is the first time you have brought a Woman here with you!"
"WH-what?" Myou mumbled, feeling her face grow hot. A twinge of a smirk flashed across Ryuzaki's face, he was going to enjoy this.
"Yes this is my date." He said, "Her name is Myou."
"D…date?" she spouted. By the gods what is a 'date'?
"you know, a romantic day where two people of whom are interested in each other get to know one another, traditionally over a meal." He said sarcastically.
He thinks we are ROMANTICLY LINKED? Oh what have I done? I-I-I-I did not mean to lead him in that direction! Oh dear, what do I do?
And in the middle of her inner emotional frenzy he Ryuzaki ordered two strawberry cheesecakes', two pieces of fudge and kindly threw in two chocolate covered strawberries for the 'special occasion'. Grabbing their purchases and the hand of a stunned Myou he went to his favorite booth in the far back of the restaurant.
He gently placed the treats on the table and hopped into the booth opposite the confused life goddess. "You know I was toying with you, correct?"
She frowned at him, "that's so mean!"
He laughed, "yes, but," he said taking a small plastic fork and helping himself to the cheesecake, "your blushing face was truly priceless." He said as her red hue grew stronger. She was starting to resemble the fruit on his plate.
"Do you toy with other people like that often?" she asked, playing with the strange pastry on her plate.
"When I can." He said, taking another bite. He watched her take her fork and cut off a dainty bite and sample it. The look of sheer delight startled him.
She had no idea a mere fruit cake could taste this sweet! Her new taste buds were going nuts as the mild flavors were mingling on her tongue.
He took this time of her bliss to examine her more.
She was definitely not of this country. She, by her mannerisms and speech, is from a well off family and was quite sheltered. What was strange is if she is so well off, why did she look at the treats in the case as if they were alien to her. Any rich family usually spoiled a daughter with treats and presents, such as chocolates and cakes. He was sure that most country's had some form of chocolate, but that seemed the most strange to her, judging how she's holding the chocolate covered strawberry. Her face showed her utter confusion but she eventually took a small bite. Another expression of satisfaction washed over her face as she started devouring the confection.
A familiar sight caught Ryuzaki's eye. Misa and Light walked through the door with a small tinkling of the bell.
