MisaxL/Ryuzaki

Author's Note- This is a minor experiment to see if I could write (umm.. what is it called..?) oh! Lemon! That's the word!(I think..) Tell me if it's good, so I could stop doubting myself! I am so very (umm..) inexperienced in the sex department but I have watched so many romances that I should at least get the feeling and situations correct. Heh... Well enjoy! And hopefully it will be about as good, or maybe better, than Carpal Tunnel of Love...Luv ya! Bye!

Misa moaned softly, "L!" As she felt the last of her dignity slipping out from beneath her. The feeling of his fingertips dancing along her warm tanned skin remained in her thoughts as she turned around and got off of the detective. Then she drifted into a deep conversation within herself to... herself.

"What did I just do?"

"Oh yea, Misa, you just slept with your boyfriends' best friend." She responded tastelessly. But the thing is that semi-sweet remarks wouldn't help you cope with feelings of extreme guilt. Knowing that she just ruined her relationship with the man of her dreams, Light Yagami, she started to silently cry.

"What is it? What's wrong?" ,L asked sympathetically.

Misa yelled between sobs of self-rage and guilt., "It's your entire fault!" L was puzzled at first, then realized what Amane was talking about.

"Oh, you are confused about how Yagami-kun would take this situation if he found out about it."

Misa gasped slightly and knew that L, a man of genius, could realize any problem quickly.

"Yes. I-I don't know if Light would ever take me back if he found out.." She continued crying.

"I don't think he would particularly care." L said, now sitting at the edge of the bed, hunched over in his usual fetal position, legs bent close to his chest, using his arms to prevent his possible fall, while wearing his white boxer-briefs. He got up from the bed to turn the radio off as he muttered under his breath, "He doesn't really love you anyway. . ."

"What?"

"He doesn't love you." He said as he picked up a can of whipped cream. He put a little bit of the sticky substance on his long, bony pointer finger as he said, "Light-" Licks off some whipped cream, "doesn't quite love you as much as you, undoubtedly, love him." Misa glared at L and pouted at him. "You two are fully compatible, I truly believe so. Nevertheless, he still doesn't love you to his full extent ignoring your obvious signs of affection." ,L contemplated as he picked up a strawberry that was sitting on the table next to the whipped cream can and ate it, "Thus confines me to question his faithfulness to you and, with his apparent leniency to infidelity. . ."

Normally, Misa would secretly swoon to L's usage of his intelligence and large vocabulary but, in this case, she hated hearing him use his arsenal of large flashy words to use out of favor of Yagami-kun.

"Shut up! Yagami-kun would never cheat on me!" She shook her head in a 'no' motion shaking her tears out of her eyes, quite dramatically, as she continued, "He loves me and I love him and we shall stay together! Till death do us part!"

"Death you say? . . .You two weren't married last time I checked." (L realized his comeback would have been more effective if he wasn't talking with his mouth full of strawberries. . .)Misa blushed because she knew that she wasn't married to Light, but she wanted to be.

"Well I feel you beg to differ. . . He has been talking to me about meeting up with a couple of other girls lately. . . You should call his cell phone to check up on him."

Misa doesn't respond as she goes rummages through her purse to retrieve her ruby colored cell phone.
