L looked to Light, "Light-kun, where are you taking us

Ohayou Minna-san! This is my first yaoi. I'm used to girlxboy relationships, but this I just couldn't pass up. It's Light-kun and L-kun, with a slight twist. L has a sister. :grins like a Cheshire cat: I'm completely rewriting how the story goes. I'm sort of bored with reading other stories that really follow the original plot like a lifeline. I decided that something different had to happen.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Death Note and its characters.

Chapter 1: Realization

L looked to Light, "Light-kun, where are you taking us?" Light stopped in mid-stride and looked behind him to L. "Ryuuzaki, I'm taking us to Tampa, Florida." L looked at Light with suspicion. The first thing to pop into L's mind at the mention of that location was that he has a family member there. Light continued on to walk to the bedroom of the headquarters that L had specifically constructed in hopes to find Kira. "Light-kun. Why to Tampa, Florida?"

Light stopped again in mid-stride after opening the bedroom door. He thought about if he should answer L or just have some fun with him and let him guess. "With you ignoring me and trying to take us away from the Kira case I am led to believe that we can now raise my suspicion of you being Kira to…" Light looked L right in the eye, "I am not Kira and we are going to Tampa because there's someone there I want to meet." Light looked over in his head all that he said, making sure that he didn't give anything away other than feeling annoyed at again being referred to as Kira. L paid close attention to the look given to him. "Light-kun, who is it you want us to meet?"

Light closed his eyes slowly, let out a breath and said, "My best friend from childhood. She was the only one who was able to see through me growing up. A few years later she left and moved to Tampa, Florida." L's eyes widened. Light-kun had a bestfriend that was female. She could see through him? Light noticed the look on L's face as surprise and he didn't think he could ever catch the detective with a look on his face other then annoyance and thinking. "But Light-kun, you know we have to finish up the Kira case." L said matter-of-factly. "Yes I know. She can help in the case. She's a lot brighter than I am and has a seriously uncanny ability to make anyone tell the truth."

Light started to walk back the bedroom and gathered his clothes from the closet and dresser while looking for something to pack in at the same time.

L looked thoughtful. Someone who can get anyone to tell the truth... Maybe she can get Light-kun to confess. L looked at all the pros and cons and concluded that perhaps it won't be such a bad idea. Then he thought of how Light expected them to get there if he was not really going to tell L in the first place. "Ryuuzaki, I wonder, can you pay for the flight?" Ah, that's how.

Light came around the corner and faced L. "You just claimed you know someone brighter than you… suspicion is now less and down to ten point seven percent. Unless of course this is what Kira-" Light interrupted him again, "I-am-not-Kira. Now help me pack." Light turned away mumbling about annoying sugar addicts. L's head tilted to the side as he stood in his hunched position bringing his thumb up to his bottom lip in concentration. Suddenly he had to change position and start walking or he would fall. "Light-kun, this chain is only six feet long," L reminded him. All he got was a grunt in return. Light seemed to be different. "Is Ms. Misa coming along?" Light answered quickly and stiffly, "No." L walked over to Light, "You know I didn't agree to us going to Tampa." Light gave him a quizzical look. "Then I'll just leave her clues to where we are. Now Ryuuzaki, she can catch the slightest hint and is more subtle than a butterfly's touch. That and she can get anyone to do anything for her. She's too adorable to not do what she says and even if you were able to resist her bubbly charm she'll turn eyes on you that you won't be able to say no to." Light turned his gaze away from L and walked over to the bathroom to gather his toiletries. He sighed a little and thought of what it would be like to see her again. The last time he saw her was about 6 years ago. They were both 12 at the time. Their age only separated by a month.

Light came out of the bathroom and looked to L. L's eyebrows were furrowed and he was deep in thought. "Light-kun, perhaps this will be okay. I have a sister living there and she could also help in the case. I wonder though, what's the name of your best friend?" It took Light a while to come out of his surprise at hearing L has a sister and he processed the question directed at him. "Her name is Shaara-" L cut him off, "Lucretia." Light's eyes widened as L's did to. They caught each other's eyes and realized that Light's best friend was L's sister.

Muhahaha. I feel like leaving it here. Don't you all just a love a cliffy? I'm thinking of chapter two. I don't really know what's going to happen. I'm just following my imagination, but it will work out in the end with lots of fun and maybe, just maybe some angst.

Shaara is pronounced: Shaah-ldah, the "r" is pronounced the same way the Japanese say it.

Lucretia is pronounced: Lu-creh-shi-ah
