Hello!! Welcome to my first ever fan-fic! This is actually the second edition of chapter 1. I something I really needed to change, and I think the grammar is just slightly better. I really LOVE getting reviews! I have so far written up to chapter 7, and I'm really busy but I will try to write chapter 8 soon! Oh yes, to my fellow Light and Misa haters, they're not in here! Yeah!! This story does NOT have "action" in it, nor will it build up quickly. I wanted to write a cute story, and I actually started writing only for fun, without the intention of uploading it, but a friend of mine said it was really (hmmm…) and that I should upload it. I really don't think it's that good; there are a lot of things about it that I'm not happy about. But I'm still having a blast writing!
I noticed at one point that this story does indicate in anyway when it is supposed to take place with relation to the Kira case. Although it does matter in the slightest to the story, I would like to imagine that the story takes place after a sort of "alternative" ending to the Kira case, in which Kira is defeated by L, and everything is perfect… if anyone is reading this who has not finished Death Note, don't worry! Death Note has a great ending, so don't worry, too much. Anyway! Enjoy! And please please please (please) review! Don't be shy! And I don't mind criticism, as long as it is constructive, and not just rude.
Love you guys!

Chapter 1
"Here you are, sir", said the smiling woman behind the counter, handing L a huge portion of cake.
"Thank you very much", replied L, he handed her his money, then walked, hunched over slightly, and head hanging, towards a large and comfortable looking chair by the wall. He stepped with one foot onto the chair, then turned around and crouched down on the chair so that he just sat on his butt, his feet flat on the chair. He slid slightly down the chair and raised his feet slightly, kicking off his shoes; he replaced his feet on the chair and began rubbing his toes against his feet and the chair. He took his fork in his hand, holding it rather strangely, with just his pointer finger and thumb, and dangling it around much more than would seem necessary. He stabbed a one of many extra strawberries he had requested on top of his nearly half a vanilla cake, with extra frosting.
"Wow!" came a happy voice from somewhere just beyond L's line of sight.
He turned his head, normally a voice wouldn't have held his attention for more than a split second, but he had been bored, he was in between cases (for once) so he didn't have anything better to do than wander to his favorite cake shop, which was about 5 minutes by foot from the Hotel he was staying in, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The source of the voice turned out to be a girl, she was happily staring at her own half cake sized portion. L was slightly surprised that anyone else ordered cake portions that big, but it wasn't that much of a shock, she probably had a friend coming to help her eat it, or 3.
The girl paid for her cake (marzipan centered vanilla with piles of strawberries and what looked like a whole chocolate bar grated on the top, L noticed, his interested almost captured) over to a small table, (no room for friends to sit with her, L noticed) and climbed onto her chair (in almost the exact same way that L was sitting, except she splayed her knees out slightly and sat more firmly on her bottom, while reaching in between her outwards bending knees to reach her cake, L noticed, his interested captured and held firm), she then reached into her large black bag which hung from her shoulder and pulled out; an iPhone, an iPod, two books, one of them a large volume called "A History of Mayan and Incan Religious Ceremonies", and a manga called "The Black Rose", which had a very dark looking cover depicting a girl with long, waist length black hair, dark blue eyes and who was holding a human skull with the eyes still in it.
The girl plugged a set of headphones into both the iPhone and the iPod, then listened to a song on the iPod while pushing buttons on the iPhone, "hi!" she said brightly into the phone when the person on the other end picked up, "no, nothing really, just eating, cake", she said, in response to whatever it was that the person she was talking to had said. "NO! I will not get fat!... I dunno, I just cant… really? Wooooow, tell me about it!" she listened intently to whatever it was they were saying, at the same time listening to the iPod, and then balancing the big book upright and beginning to read while holding the manga in the other hand. Her head swayed in between the two books, she seemed to be reading them simultaneously.
L watched her in utter fascination; his cake even was abandoned on the table.
The girl was sitting with her back to him so he couldn't see her face, but she herself was dressed in a long black skirt, slightly torn, with a black shirt which a high collar, this covered in lace. Her hair was long and of a brownish color, but it had natural high lights, which caused it, appear different colors as she moved her head.
The girl was talking into the phone again, "that is awesome! Well, it looks like you guys are really making some progress! I'm jealous…"
She giggled, to L it sounded like quite a brain dead giggle, but from observing her and her ability to multi-task, he couldn't think that she wasn't, at the very least, extremely intelligent.
"hon," she said into her phone, "I really gotta go, this cake is just calling to me. No I don't think my cake is more important than your love life! But this cake is soooo fresh; I have to eat it now! Yeah, yeah, call me later, okeey, yeah I love you to!"
she hung up, L suddenly noticed that he was on his feet, he had a strange sensation, which he was sure he had never felt before, I sort of tingling, which went all the way through his skinny body, like when even he had had too much coffee and sugar and began to get gittery, a seldom occurrence, but never the less one which happened.
L couldn't help himself, almost before he knew it; he was walking over to the girl in the chair.
The girl was replacing the phone in her bad, "air head", she muttered, "oh well, she's sweet, so I don't mind".
L caught that, even though she said it quietly, and found himself very confused, why would she be apparent friends with someone that she considered to be of low intelligence?
L reached her and she looked up, taking the head phones off her head as she did.
"can I help you?" she asked, smiling at him. L realized it was practically the first time a female of his own age, and probable intelligence had ever smiled at him, it was a bit disturbing to him…
"I noticed the title of your book", said L finally, for once he really had nothing to say, although he didn't really talk much, he always said what he thought, and he always knew what to say, if not exactly when to say it. For once, he simply wanted to talk, but there was nothing he could of, he had just met, seen, this girl, and knew absolutely nothing about her.
"oh! You mean this one?" replied the girl, completely non-phased by the strange looking and behaving man standing in front of her, she held up the manga, "yeah! Its really good, my friend wrote it! He based the girl on the cover on me, but shes way prettier, and my hair isn't that color." She crinkled up her eyes at him, smiling again.
L looked closely, the girl did in fact have dark blue eyes, not quite as vivid as the girl on the manga, but hers were so big and bright that he had been able to see them from about 3 tables away.
"Well, actually said L, I meant the other one," he pointed at the large text book, "its an area of interest to me". "Really?" asked the girl sounding very cheerful to hear that. "Oh yeah! Where are my manners, I'm Taiyo", she held out a hand to L, "it means Ocean in Japanese, my favorite non-archaic language!" L reached out his hand, and tried to decide which alias to use, he eventually just decided on his favorite "please call me Ryuzaki", he said, and shook her hand.
Ok ok!! I'm thoroughly annoyed! TAIYO DOES MEAN OCEAN!! But yes, Taiyo also means sun, and there is a reason for this. In ancient Japanese mythology, the sun was believed to literally "come out of the ocean". Because of this, they thought of them as the same thing, so, they are both called Taiyo. Although, because of the tones in Japanese, they are pronounced differently! So please, BEFORE making an idiot of yourself, either read this, or get a freaking dictionary!! I'm very sorry for all my yelling, but I'm just absolutely driven mad by all the reviews that only say that Taiyo's name is wrong.
Thanks very much for reading! And please review!! Just not to whine about Taiyo's name, un.
