Title: Just a Bit Kooky
Alt. Title: A Little Crazy
Summary: AU! What if Light had grown up with a Neighbor? A rather... unique... girl that has been his 'best friend' since elementary school...? A girl that may or may not be just a little Clinically Insane? What if she was the reason he had first wanted to be a Doctor...? And what if she had a secret of her own...?
Warnings: Crack! and Mild! Insanity (maybe just plain Idiocy, while we're at it. =P), Shounen-Ai Mentions!, Possible Shoujo-Ai Mentions!, Possibly!Disturbing Misunderstandings, Definite AU! and probably more...
Genres: (Crack!) Humor/Parody & Friendship (No Romance, Pairings and/or shippings atm, sorry!)
Notes: Mostly rather pointless stuff, so I may or may not continue it for a few chapters... possibly. Technically Drabble/One-shots centered in this 'AU'. I'm not sure how far I'm gonna take this, but we'll see...
Also mostly made for self-entertainment and a 'what if' scenario that I thought would be funny. My apologies if characters are a bit OoC, but... Well, Life's just not that perfect... (And there're notes at the bottom, too, in order not to take up too much space up here or waste your time in case you want to be incredibly and ignore it) Currently taking place just a little before the actual series... Or before Light finds his Death Note, if you prefer.
DISCLAIMER: In no way do I own Death Note. Just the Insanity of this... uh, plot. Yeah, plot, and the Insanity of my OC... and her insanity, of course. Now what the hell are you still reading this for? Get moving! The Chapter's not going to be read unless you read it, yeah?
It was a typical morning. The birds tweeted and chirped as they awakened from their nests, hopping from branch to branch or tree to tree. The sun dyed the sky a reddish-orange shade as it peered over the horizon, and there was barely a cloud in the sky...
In a certain household, the Yagami family slept peacefully, blissfully unaware of a shadowy figure that was making its way towards their suburban home.
Said figure was sneaking from building to building, as if trying to stay hidden -though it was quite obvious that she was present to those that looked. The early-bird residents ignored it, though, quite used to it, and took the figure's appearance as a signal to start the new day.
The four members of the Yagami family slept on.
Outside, the figure had already managed to -somehow- climb over fence, and was (quite clumsily, actually) scaling the tree closest to the second-floor window of the house. Perching precariously -and as far out as possible- on the branch closest to the her destination, she reached out, just as the last cloud drifted out of the way, allowing the sun to shine down on her just enough that anyone looking could clearly see that the figure was...
Female. Completely, and utterly female.
And an adolescent, as well, as she wore the Daikoku Private Academy's girls' winter uniform -which consisted of a tan sailor-shirt, a black skirt, and a red tie- since the school board was still being stubborn about not allowing them change until the usual time -as with any year- and despite the fact that it had already been spring, now, for almost two weeks already...
Suddenly, the branch gave out, just as she had inched forward enough to touch the window.
It was a perfectly normal day...
SNAP. "...Uh-oh..." CRASH!
Or, it would have been but for one important thing, as a short scream accompanied the crash, followed by a muffled, "I'M OK!" in response, as the brunette adolescent groaned, turning to lay on his other side while using his pillow to cover his poor ears as he ignored the tell-tale signs of the fact that his so-called (and self-dubbed) 'best friend' had arrived to wake him up...
"LIGHT-KUN~~~!" the girl greeted quite cheerful and chipperly despite the fact that she had just fallen at least one story from the branch she had been on (considering it- er, she- had been right next to his window at the time of the accident)...
At five in the morning.
It happened every day, too. Every morning, the otherwise respected 'genius' student was visited by his 'best-friend-since-primary-school', so that she could 'wake him up' for them -him?- to get ready for school...
Two full hours before the time he actually supposed to get up.
The only good (probably) thing about it was probably the fact that the entire neighborhood was so used to this (the chaos) by now (well, who wouldn't after... what, a little over ten years of this daily occurrence?), that they were able to ignore the hyper-active, possibly clinically insane female. It was a wonder that no one had reported her for disrupting the peace, though he did have to wonder why she insisted on climbing up the tree by his window in order to wake him up...
She always ended up having to come in through the front door anyways, and it probably wouldn't quite so 'bothersome' or 'disturbing' if she would just go in that way from the beginning...
And here she come now, he thought. He could hear the front door open as his mother let the idiotic female in (if only to shut her up and to make sure she didn't cause any more chaos -though really, that was probably rather impossible, as the girl was practically chaos itself, were it human, female, and a teenager), and the sound of feet pounding up the stairs practically a mile a minute followed as it always did.
And as always, he would count in his head, trying to delay the inevitable -and partly in wonder that she could not only come up so quickly, but that it was like clockwork now. Literally. Especially since she always took the exact same amount of time doing so.
And... (three... two... one-!)
BAM! There she was...
His door was opened with a loud slam that was so loud that he really wouldn't be surprised if at least half the surrounding neighborhood had heard it. Quickly followed by an insanely chipper girl that immediately hurried over to the brown-haired and brown-eyed teen that continued to feign sleep -despite the fact that not even the deepest sleeper could possibly sleep through her 'arrival', and the fact that, considering the last part of this statement, he had been really been awake since her first 'call'.
"Ne, ne, Light-kun, Light-kun~~!" she called ecstatically (as usual), "Hurry, hurry! Hurry and wake up, ne~~? !" she would then exclaim -as always- while Light would try (or pretend to, depending on his mood) to sleep for a few more seconds, but, as it would be in vain as always, would sigh and sit up calmly to greet her.
"Good Morning, Choukō," he greeted dryly (though she probably wouldn't be too affected if he were at all irritable or grouchy, aside from doubling her efforts to make his see the 'bright side' of things), as usual. (sigh.)
"Oh," she'd blink, typically having been but a second away from flinging the blankets off of her 'dear friend'. Really, one of the reasons he would wake up then. Especially in case she got the urge to 'copy those people on the tv' and douse him with a glass ofice cold water, as she was sometimes wont to do, before she would give him a perfectly innocent smile, and a "Good Morning, Light-kun!" Something he really couldn't be surprised about considering how oblivious she could be to the negative actions and(/or) reactions that took place around her. Either because of, or... well, due to her (which is really the same thing).
But, as always, Light wouldn't be able to help smiling a bit crookedly at that bright smile, though he also couldn't help shaking his head (mentally) every time as well, before shooing her out so he'd be able to dress.
"Good Morning," he'd greet again genially (because her memory could also be short at times as well), before continuing on. "Now, would you please leave so I can change?" he would ask just as amiably -although, there was usually an undercurrent of a threat that the dense girl never seemed to get (or even understand)...
"Eh?" she'd blink, tilting her head slightly in confusion...
And he would sigh... again.
Something that he seemed to have been doing quite often since he'd first met her, he'd muse if he ever thought about it...
More Notes and Other Stuff (ie the "End Notes/Extras"): So... yeah. The first chapter is more of an introduction to the character, which is why it's so short... Only three characters mentions, and two that actually show up, too -one of which is my OC. whose full name is "Masshiro, Choukō" (yes there's supposed to be that line thingie over the o) which stands for 'Pure White' and 'Butterfly Light'... or Girl... whichever you prefer (with or without the thing over the o), in case you're interested. But anyways, I may get lazy and drop the ō for a plain o, if I get too lazy to copy/paste, so there you go.
And yes, Daikoku is the school that Light was at when he picked up the Death Note. Also, just to reiterate -I'm really not quite sure where I wanna take this aside from a few ideas. But for now, it'll probably just be a one/two-shot broken into parts, so expect it to be short unless I feel like making it an actual story...
Which will depend on you -in other words: Please review!
Choukō: Yup! And then we'll get to spend lots~~ more fun time with Light-kun! And maybe even L/Ryuu-san and Ryuk-kun! (lol! They're so similar and they rhyme!)
AI: Exactly! It'll definitely be another one or two chapters not including the 'Intro', though...
Light: *off to the side* sigh... Which probably translates to more torture for me...
AI: Yup~~!
Light: *twitches slightly and speaks dryly* That doesn't really make me feel any better...
AI: So? *doesn't really care* In any case! Everyone, please remember to review and tell me what you think! Anonymous Reviews will be allowed and supported so long as it's not 'hate-mail' type things like "You suck" or something like that for no reason, and without pointing out any flaws...
Choukō: 'cuz that'd be mean...!
AI: Yes, yes it would. This is also the first story I've got on this account, and I'd like to be able to not have anything tragi-er... terrible... to befall anyone...
Especially my story!
Choukō: Eh? Are Stories people too?
AI: of course! So please don't hurt its feelings!
Choukō: Eh~~ Choukō didn't know that! Choukō will be careful not to hurt Mr- er... Mrs...?- Story!
AI: Ahahah... *sweats thinking about * Why are you talking in third person anyway...?
Choukō: Hmn? Oh... 'cuz it's fun, of course! And it's cute right? 'Sanity-san thinks it's cute, ne?
AI: Er... suuure...
Choukō: See?
