The leaves rolled angrily outside the Lawliet household. The wind was heavy and thick, that it began to knock over bins and fences. The sky was dark and the moon glimmered above the houses in the neighbourhood.
Inside the Lawliet household, a man named Watari sat in his rocking chair infront of the warm fire. L, a 5 year old child layed down on the woolen rug also infront of the fire as he played with his building blocks happily.
"L be careful. The fire is extremely hot and i don't want you to burn yourself" Watari said, rocking in his chair.
"I won't papa" L replied, his face slightly pink from the heat coming from the fire.
"Papa?" L asked, as he placed a block lettered 'G' onto the letter 'O'.
"Yes L?" Watari replied, looking at L with a smile.
"There is a storm outside, yes?" L said, looking up at Watari with loving eyes.
"Indeed. It is even worse than last time Little one. We will have to stay inside for quite a while untill it goes away" Watari explained, picking up a book from a small table at his side.
"Why?" L asked, sitting up and crossing his legs.
"Because L, if anyone is outside when there is a storm it can be very dangerous. Storms like this often cause small twisters that can take roofs off of houses" Watari replied, reading the first page of his book called, the mysterious one.
He'd often tell some of it to L who seemed to enjoy listening when Watari told him about detectives and such.
"Papa, can you read me a story Please?" L asked, leaning on Watari's lap.
"Okay L. Make yourself confortable" Watari said with a huge smile.
L excitedly walked away and sat down again with his legs crossed. You could see him jumping about with excitement.
"In London square a man named Russel Bloom walked down the wet pavements" Watari began.
But just as he was about to carry on there was some knocking at the door. Watari stood up and walked over to the door, he wondered who it could be. He began considering the fact that its dangerous for anyone to be out in the huge storm, so who could be outside?
Watari opened the door and to his amazement...a basket lay on his door step, rocking side to side because of the wind. The basket was brown and seemed to have something inside of it. He looked at the basket and soon saw there seemed to be a card sewed onto the basket. It read:
To the person who reads this message,
In this basket is a young girl, who's parents a long dead due to a murder incident not long ago. I found her hidden in her house in a cupboard when i went there to pick up some books. Her parents must've hidden her away from the murderer. She hasn't got a name yet as she has been in hospital since birth, and has only just come out. But before her parents could name her they were murdered. Please take care of her, because there is nobody else who could. Her parents had no other siblings and their parents are also dead. She is one year old and hasn't seen much of her parents so she doesn't know they exist really. So if you take her in, it will be like your her family.
Take care and thank you.
The person who wrote this didn't sign it. Maybe because they would preffer their identity kept a secret.
Watari looked around before taking the basket into the porch out of the cold and storm. As he shut the door, he heard a baby's cry. He opened the blanket of which had been covering the basket. He removed it and saw a beautiful baby girl. She had bright blonde, smooth hair and big green eyes. She was wearing a red baby grow and a beaded bracelet.
Watari picked her up and cuddled her to stop her crying. Her crying soon stopped and she began to smile. He stood her up on the ground and she began to walk slowly but surely. He held her hand and they walked into the warm living room.
"L, this young girl was placed on our doorstep by someone. She has no parents because they was murdered and no siblings, aunts, uncles or grandparents because her parents had no siblings, no other children and their parents a long dead. We must take care of her from now on" Watari explained.
The girl saw L and hid behind Watari's trousers. She tugged on his trousers and put her thumb in her mouth.
"Papa. I assume she has no name, by the fact that you are calling her by 'this young girl' " L replied, turning around and looking at him with a smile.
"Why isn't my boy smart. Your getting more like me L" Watari replied with a slight chuckle "Indeed L. She has no name and needs one" Watari said, strokeing the girl's head softly.
"Then, how about Misa-Misa?" L suggested, with a huge smile suddenly appearing on his pail face.
"Brilliant! It's Misa-Misa then" Watari replied, with a smile.
"Be nice to her L. She's younger than you remember. Treat her like your little sister" Watari added.
L nodded then looked at Misa. She looked back and tilted her head.
"Come here Misa, come one. I won't hurt you" L smiled, encouraging Misa to go to him.
She looked confused but then giggled and ran towards him before falling on him. L hugged her tight wrapping his arms around Misa. He held her forward so they was looking at eachother.
"I'm going to look after you now Misa" L told her, gazing into her big green eyes that stared back.
She nodded before holding his face with her small, chubby hands and pulled him towards her face so she could kiss him on the lips. She kissed him sloppily like little child would and L moved back.
"Ewww!" L said, whiping his lips onto his shirt.
Watari chuckled and sat back down in his chair before watching the two play joyfully.
