~Who you are~
Alias: Lilac (Lila) Christian
Real name: Charlotte Kingsford
Age: 23 years old.
Appearance: You have bust length dirty blonde hair, that's usually a bit messy. You have gray eyes with gold/yellow around the iris. You are 5ft 4in tall. You usually wear white knee length shorts and a large baggy navy sweatshirt that hangs down to the mid-thigh, with the word "RUGBY" printed on it with a crown underneath it. Under that you wear a white tank top with orange stripes. And you weigh 109 pounds.
Personality: You are very childish at times, and you hate it when people are noisy. You tend to be bad at socializing with people you don't know well and it takes a while for you to actually trust people. You can be blunt sometimes, but most of the time you keep things to yourself and only tell people that have gained your absolute trust what you think. You're lazy most of the time, but you can defend yourself very well. You are very logical and cunning, but you usually play dumb and only reveal how smart you are to people you trust. You are also very quirky at times.
Background: Both of your parents were Police officers, but they died during a shooting when you were 12. Because you had no parents you were raised by your aunt Harriet and your uncle Thomas. Your homeland is Doncaster and you currently live in Cheshire. During college you became a very powerful part time information broker under the name of Lilac Christian in Cheshire when you were 20 and you had many people getting information for you. Along with being a part time information broker you were a full time detective. You met L during one of his cases in Cheshire and you both became very good friends. You're very skilled with a computer and can usually hack any type of computer, you also enjoy playing games on your computer.
Likes: Salty snacks (mostly chips), Manga, sleeping, being given piggy back rides, quiet people, comfy clothes, reading, computers, not wearing shoes and stuffed animals.
Dislikes: noise, spicy foods, metal music, girly things, nail polish, shoes, being left alone for long periods of time, high pitched voices, and injustice.
Love interest: L Lawliet
(L's POV)
L crouched in his seat typing quickly on his computer. It had certainly been a while since he last contacted Lilac Christian, the last time he had seen her she was a quirky 20 year old in Cheshire. He knew how good her deduction skills were and how easily she could get to information. She would be a good addition to the team, if anyone she would want to join, and it would be good to have the opposite sex's opinion on this case besides Misa, who honestly wasn't much help since she was being suspected as the second Kira. When he was done writing the email he read it over before hitting the send button and then taking a bite of his ice cream. He wanted Lila to come because of her detective and info broker skills, but also, he was beginning to get lonely.
(Your POV)
You sat lazily at your desk in your office playing a game on your computer and eating potato chips. You heaved a small sigh, today had been very boring. Just then the large double doors of your office swung open and two of your employees walked in at a brisk pace. They stopped in front of your desk.
"Do you have the information?" you asked not looking up from your game.
"Err…actually Miss Chri-" One worker started saying.
"Do you have the information ?" you said louder this time, you words sharper than before.
"I'm sorry Miss Christian we were unable to obtain the information." Said quickly.
"Very well." You said clacking away at your game. "You are dismissed."
Both men rushed out of your office nervously before they opened the door you cleared your throat causing both men to stop in their tracks.
"Remember, next time," you said giving them an evil look "don't screw up."
"Y-Yes mam!" they said tensely, they then both left the office.
You frowned. You really did hate being cruel to your employees but if you were to go soft on them then their work would become sloppy. You continued to play your game, going through each level with ease. Just as you were about to start a new level your computer beeped and a notice came up. You read it your gray eyes widening in surprise.
"L?" you said to yourself clicking your inbox. Sure enough it was an email from L. You hadn't seen him since the case here in Cheshire. You read over the email. "Japan." You mumbled eating another potato chip then licking your lips savoring the salty taste. The email pretty much told you L's current case and why he wanted you to join his team. You leaned back in your chair chewing on the nail attached to your pinky lightly so that you wouldn't bite through it. The Kira case has been a big deal there and it did seem like fun. Also you fancied L just a bit so why not go pay him a visit. You sent a reply quickly and picked up the phone on your desk.
"Florence," you said to your personal assistant.
"Yes mam?" she replied ready for any order you gave her. That was a reason you liked Florence she always did what you asked with no questions. One time you asked her to go buy a case of beer and then empty and clean all the bottles. The reason behind that was because you were working on a bottle chandelier as a gift for one of your clients.
"I need you to buy a plane ticket to Japan please, and if you would like to come along with me buy two. Also call my home and ask Tabitha to pack my suitcase and take $5,000 out of my bank account, we're going to be staying there for a while so make sure to pack a lot. I'm leaving next Tuesday." You said to her. You heard her scribbling on her note pad.
"Yes, mam" She said waiting for you to hang up.
"Thank you." You said putting down the phone and then spinning around in your office chair, grabbing a chip every time you passed the bag on your desk. This was going to be one interesting case.
(Eh? Good? Bad? I liked it, but I kinda wrote it so…)
(L's POV)
L's computer beep notifying him that he had an email. He clicked his inbox quickly and saw that Lilac had replied.
'That was quick.' He said reading the email. A small smile formed on his lips, the email said that she would join the team and that she was leaving for Japan next Tuesday. He replied again telling her where his hotel room was, his alias, who else was on the team, and where they would meet, he also added a code to completely erase these emails. Even if she deleted it, the email would still be on the system, which could be hacked and read, this code deleted it for good. Though he knew that she had the code down by heart, but you can never be too careful. He quickly hit send and leaned back in his chair. He did enjoy Lilac's company and it would be nice to have her helping out with the case. L shut his laptop and spun around in his chair towards Watari.
"Watari," L said getting off of his seat. "Lilac Christian is coming to Japan, please stock up on chips and salty snacks."
"Yes. Will you be picking up at the airport?" He asked.
"Yea we'll pick her up, I can catch her up on the case during the ride to the hotel." Said L pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Very well." Said Watari.
-Next Tuesday—
(Your POV)
You stood at the airport entrance in Japan with your carry on as Florence carried you bag along with hers, (she insisted). The airport was rather busy today so there was a lot of people there and a lot of noise with displeased you greatly. You took out your phone checking the time. Just as you put your phone back a black Lincoln pulled up by the curb. The tinted window then rolled down to reveal L crouching in the passenger seat.
"Ryuzaki." You said giving him a bow and a small smile.
"Lilac." He said getting out of the car with Watari, L was in the same attire he was in the last time you saw him, a white long sleeve shirt and jeans.
Just as you were about to hand Watari your carry on bag a man in a suit bumped into you, he was talking on a cell phone and didn't seem to notice you standing there. He bumped into you rather hard, which made you fall back and land right on your butt. You sat up a bit in a daze and checked yourself over, no blood, no bruises just a bit sore. You sat cross-legged on the concrete ground looking at the guy who just bumped into you, he continued to walk not knowing what happened. You scratched you head and looked up at L.
"Is everyone that oblivious here?" you asked L tilting your head.
"Somewhat." He said offering you a hand up you took it and got up looking around for Florence.
"Where did Florence go?" you said looking around more franticly.
"She's in the car Miss." Said Watari.
"Oh…Thanks." You said awkwardly.
"Lets go to the hotel the rest of the team is waiting." Said L walking to the car, not bothering to wait.
"Ok." You said following him. You got into the car silently behind L. Florence had decided to ride in the front with Watari.
"Nice to see you again L." you said giving him a small smile.
"Likewise. Now you will be the only girl working on the case. You did delete the email correct?" he asked not taking his black orbs off of you.
You nodded. "Of course." You said playing with the edge of your sleeve, even though you and L were talking business it was a good chat. He filled you in on the rest of the case over email.
"Oh," said L rummaging through a bag that was in the car. "Here." He said handing you a bag of cheetos (I don't know any Japanese chips so I'm using brands I know! Sorry!).
That was the icebreaker you were waiting for. "Yay!" you exclaimed grabbing the bag and opening it, digging into the salty cheesy snack. "Oh, I got you something too." You said digging around in your bag. You finally found what you were looking for. "Here." You said handing him a piece of cake that was carefully packaged. "It's strawberry." You said knowing it was his favorite.
A smile formed on his lips and he happily took the cake. "Thank you." He said taking a bite. "So how's Cheshire?" he asked.
"Good. The info business is going very well, but I haven't got many good cases lately just little things like robberies or embezzlements that's why I was so happy to join the Kira case." You said while munching on cheetos.
"I see…" said L with a mouthful of cake. "There is one other girl there also."
"Misa was it?" you said. "She's being suspected as the second Kira correct?"
"Mhmm…Lilac, you have some cheese on your face." Said L staring at your mouth.
"Eh?" you said wiping around your mouth.
"You missed it." L said leaning forward and wiping away the cheese powder from your face. "There." He said leaning back and looking out the window.
"Thank you." You said looking out the opposite window trying to keep your composure. This usually didn't happen, you were usually more in control of your emotions, but in that fraction of a second you were able to muster up a blush and dispel of it before L could notice. Finally you all arrived at the hotel. The bellhop politely took your bags up to your room which was located right across the hallway from L's, he insisted that if you were to live there you might as well be near your friend and co-worker in case anything happened.
"This way." Said L while walking down the hallway and going into the elevator. Though you hated exercise you ran to the elevator and hopped in before it closed.
"You know I hate exercise." You said catching your breath.
"Really? I never knew." L said his face blank as usual but you could hear the sarcasm in his tone of voice. After you received the codes for the security system you were led into a large grey-ish room with a large computer station in the center. There were 5 people sitting on the couches right of the computers. 4 men and 1 blonde woman who you presumed to be Misa.
"Is this her?" asked the older man. You guessed he was .
"Hai." Said L crouching on the love seat. "Everyone, this is Lilac Christian she will be helping us on the case."
Everyone look at you like you were some type of exhibit.
"She seems kind of young to be one of the best information brokers in the world." Said one of the younger men.
"Trust me, she has more than 200 employees on almost every continent. She probably knows all of your names and backgrounds just by looking at you." Said L taking a sip of tea that Watari had put out. Since Florence wasn't helping in the investigation she wasn't allowed in here, so you left her in the hotel room. "She also is a good friend of mine."
"Hey," said a young man, probably a college student. You presumed he was Yagami Light, the man who was suspected of being Kira. "I thought you said that I was your first friend!" he said annoyance coating his voice.
"Correction." Said L raising his pale pointer finger. "You are my first friend that is a male." He said.
"Wow…" said Misa looking at you. "It's so great to have another girl here! Do you know what it's like being surrounded by guys all day? We can be such good friends Lilac!" She said in a high voice.
You looked at her, giving her the face you usually gave to everyone, a blank expression. "Your voice is high. It gives me a headache." You said frankly sitting down next to L.
"Here." He said placing a pill on your palm. Knowing L it was probably to soothe headaches so you took it without question.
"Thank you." You said. The young man with black hair laughed.
"You two are so much alike!" he said.
You and L both tilted your heads in sync, dark eyes questioning what he said. "How so?" you both asked.
"Well…" said the young man. "You both have dark eyes, you both are very frank, your both detectives, you both have great deduction skills and you are both from England. If I didn't know any better I would think you two were a couple!" he said with a laugh.
"Couple?" you said testing out the word on your tongue. Granted you did fancy L a bit, but you never thought of being a couple with him. You looked over at L, you could tell he was thinking, though most people would think he was spacing out, you knew that inside his head there was information flying about solving small problems and big problems alike in mere seconds. He truly was a talented detective.
(L's POV)
"Couple?" Lilac said testing out the word. L had never thought of it that way, he did like her a bit but the thought of being a couple with her never seemed to come up. His mind ticked furiously, putting imaginary puzzle pieces together in his head. He noticed that Lilac was now looking at him with her gray eyes. Though it was a bit difficult he was able to read her blank expression. She was trying to figure out what he was thinking.
"Awww!" Misa said in a loud high pitch tone that made Lilac cringe. "You two would be such a cute couple!" She said hugging Light's arm. "Don't you think Light?" she asked.
"Yea." He agreed in his "friendly" tone. L never truly put all his trust in him.
"Watari." Said Lilac.
"Yes?" he asked from behind L.
"Can I have some chips?" she asked.
"Of course." He said leaving the room in search of the salty snack Lilac desired. He returned shortly with a large bag of Fritos, which Lilac ceased quickly, yet politely and began to eat.
"Ehhh? You're going to eat ALL of those?" Misa asked oblivious to how much Lilac could actually eat. "You'll get fat if you keep eating like that."
"Not if I exercise," Lilac said with a blank expression "but I hate exercising. So yes. I will become fat and eventually blow up." She said eating another chip.
"That's not fair. I have to diet and exercise and avoid yummy foods to stay skinny and you just eat whatever you want! Do you like make yourself throw-" Misa began saying
"Misa." L snapped wanting to end this conversation before Lilac went ballistic and tried to attack Misa on the spot. He knew she hated these kinds of people, the constantly cheery, loud girls with high voices that worry about petty things. "Going along with the case Lilac will be helping us she'll be living here in the hotel with me also." He informed everyone.
"Thank you for letting me join your team." She said popping another chip in her mouth.
(Your POV) – Later that night-
You sat in your hotel room in your pajamas eating from a bag of Tostitos and thinking when you heard a knock at your door. You opened it to see L standing there looking the same as usual, pale skin, dark circles under his eyes and messy jet black hair, but instead of his usual day clothes he was wearing pajamas.
"You should be sleeping." He chided bluntly while walking into your room.
"I smell nail polish, it's keeping me up." You said placing a bowl of ice cream on the coffee table for L, he soon crouched down and began eating it.
"So, what do you think?" he asked looking at you his dark eyes not revealing anything that he was thinking.
"Well it's obvious why you think Yagami Light would be Kira, and why Misa would be the second Kira. They seem close, are they in a relationship?" you asked.
"Yes, they're dating." He said looking through your phone.
'How the hell did he get that?' you thought, but not showing any signs of panic on your face. There wasn't anything worth hiding on your phone.
"Also the Yotsuba group, from the video surveillance is in fact some how in relation with Kira right now, but I have a feeling that if people keep listening to our conversation then we'll have to find a new way of communication." You said looking at the door, you heard footsteps running away from the door, but neither you nor L went after them.
"I agree." Said L taking a bite of ice cream.
"Who do you think it was?" you asked eating another chip.
"It can't be Light or Misa, they're out on a date right now." Said L. "So either a nosy maid or a Yotsuba group spy."
"I see." You said biting your pinky nail lightly. "I think I have a few men working for that group. I could contact them, but not tonight. You said getting up and walking towards your bed. "I'm sleepy" you said collapsing face down on your bed. It was soft and comfortable and so very warm, because you were in a suite Florence was in the other room. You heard the clang of an empty bowl and then you heard L getting up. He laid down next to you on his back. He sniffed.
"You're right." He said stretching out his arms. "You can smell nail polish."
You nodded, face down on the bed. The sheets smelt clean and crisp.
"I think I'll survive though." You said crawling into bed not caring that L was there. "I'm going to bed. Good night." You said closing your eyes and resting.
"Goodnight." L said getting up off the bed and turning off the lamp next to you.
"L…"you said as he was about to leave.
"Hm?" he said stopping.
"Can you get me my giraffe?" you asked your voice sleepy and child-like.
"Sure." He said walking across the room and picking up your stuffed giraffe. He then placed it next to you on the bed and you grabbed it squeezing it tightly.
"Thank you." You said getting drowsier by the second. You heard L walk across the room again and open the door, but before he left he spoke.
"Good night Lilac." He said before shutting the door quietly.
"Goodnight." You whispered.
Well that was fairly good. I thought it was good. Was it? I don't know! So leave a review if you have anything you'd like to tell me andddd yea. Sorry, like usual for any misspelling, grammar errors, and/or character confusion or what not. So yea. I'm going to sleep now. So TILL NEXT CHAPTER!
