THIS IS MY SECOND FICTION AND I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED:3 My other fiction is called "Hate Me and Love Me" and has, so far, a prologue and a first chapter. I'm working on the second one, but I thought I'd go ahead and start this other fiction while I'm getting the other one straightened.

There will be the following:

OOC, but I'll try and stay as close as I can.

Gender Swap, my mind loves to do that to my favorite little panda-eyed detective

Age Manipulation, younger L. :3

Slight AU, put it this way, Loveless' virgin metaphor, y'know, the ears and tail thing. ;3

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note. I just own the first volume of the manga, and hopefully an L plush soon, and have L-gasms when I see him.

Chapter 1

Something was out-of-place on their work place, but Raito could not place it. It wasn't L's stack of empty plates, and it sure as hell wasn't their computers. Maybe it was the book to his right? He glanced at the title and decided it had fit in quite well with the disarry of their desk. Then what the hell was it?

He glanced at L's side and noticed a mug of coffee. Yes, that wasnt unusal. The detective loved the stuff. Especially if it was saturated with precisely seven cubes of sugar. Personally, Raito liked his black; but that wasn't what caught his attention, it was what the mug was resting on.

It was a small, circular coaster. The brown disk was set to the side, a safe distance from the keyboard and the table's edge. Since when did guys use coasters? It wasn't normal; Maybe L was a girl. No, it wasn't possible; maybe the sugar addict was gay. Yea, Raito would go with that; L was gay and was most likely the feminine type.

Satisfied with identifying the out-of-place object, Raito sat back in his seat and stretched his arms up over his head. "Ryuzaki, I'll be right back," he said as he stood up.

"Where's Raito-Kun going?" the detective asked.

"A bathroom break; I'll be no more than five minutes."

L nodded and Raito excused himself. He walked down the hallway to the restroom, his thoughts from mere seconds ago coming to the forefront of his mind. Was he sure L wasn't a girl but a feminine homosexual? Yea, he was. But then again, anything was possible with that abnormal detective. With that, he pushed it from mind.

When Raito entered the bathroom something on the counter caught his eye; it was a blue box he was sure wasn't there the last time he had come to the bathroom. Curiously, he picked it up and looked it over, noticing the words on the box's side.

Tampax Pearl.

Tampons. . .

What the hell? Raito scratched his auburn colored ear and put the box down. He had the strangest feeling that there was something going on. And it revolved around a certain strawberry lover of a detective. He needed to get to the bottom of it. Later. Right now he just really had to piss. Bad.

He listened to Ryuzaki tell the other new evidence on the Kira case but didn't pay attention to what was spoken. Raito had his mind on the 'sugar addict is gay or female' conspiracy he had spontaneously generated earlier fromt he presence of a coaster.

And tampons.

And the part of his conscious intellect that seemed intent that Ryuzaki was just womanishly. . .queer, for want of a perferable term.

And the fact he had nothing better to do.

"Raito-Kun, what's your thoughts on Kira's sudden alteration of killing criminals to elementary and junior high teachers who have been charged with indecent exposure in school?" the aforementioned detective inquired of the distracted Yagami.

Raito looked at L and quickly composed his thoughts. He said the first answer that came to his mind, "Kira has switched his intentions to the well being of the children in school. Perhaps in judging the immoral teachers, he believes he can save those students who become targets for him. And in the future,t hat generation will make what he does the law."

L nodded, as if contemplating this answere, and Raito wondered just who in the hell that damn shinigami gave the second notebook to; but the thought was immediately chased from his mind and replaced by coasters. . .

And tampons. . .

And a Ryuzaki with breasts. . .

And a gay sugar addict staring at Ryuga Hideki. . .

Damnit! He'd have to get to the bottom of that so the plague of gay/female L thoughts would leave him alone. . .Though. . .It leaned more towards the detective being a girl at the moment. . .

"That could be a possiblility; but I do not believe that is the case," the sugar addict responded, once again leading Ratio's mind away form his unreasonable mental argumentation, "However, we'll have to discuss this at a later time; it is getting late and it appears that the others need rest."

"No Ryuzaki, it's quite all right. Please, continue," Raito's father said, speaking on behalf of the rest of the case members.

L's head shoke in a disapproving manner. "I have kept going forty-eight hours straight without allowing the rest of the team their needed, and well deserved, sleep. Please, Yagami-San, you and the others rest."

"Rine, Ryuzaki," Yagami Soichiro gave in reluctantly, "Bue we resume six sharp in the morning."

The dark eyed detective nodded and turned to Raito as the others dismissed theirselves. "You should rest too, Raito-Kun. You appear stressed over this case."

"You would be surprised as to how stressed out about it I am," Raito replied, his mind picturing Ryuzaki in a dress, then in the arms of a deprived inmate.

"Then relax and get some sleep," L replied. And with that, the addict got up out the high backed chair and left the teen to his own devices.

Without the presence of the rest of the team, his mind was filled to the brim with his crackpot theory of what the hell L was; and decided he had to find out before morning.

Raito growled to himself. He'd been looking around L's private floor for what seemed like forever and couldn't find a trace of the detective. How hard was it to find a homosexual-female-what the hell ever the addict was!?

The teen was just about to give up when he heard the shower running as he walked past the restroom. He stopped and turned to the narrow wooden door slowly turning the know. Pushing it open, he entered the unbelievably broad room and glanced around.

He gently shut the door so as not to make a sound to alert the bathing investigator of his presence. Raito gave L's bathroom another once-over look and noticed it was more elegant thatn the ones on other floors; it almost reminded him of Sayu's bathroom. But the only difference was that this one had a full body shower with a glass door. It was foggy and he couldn't make out the detective at all.

The water suddenly shut off and Raito froze where he stood. There was movement behind the glass door and it was slid open. Standing in the shoiwer was a very naked, very wet,a nd very female detective. Her midnight eyes met his light carmel colored ones and Raito saw her's widden with shock and humiliation as her face turned red. He'd never seen her react in anyway before this and it mad him wish he was somewhere else.

And not staring at her poorly endowed chest. . .

Damn. Misa'd been calling the wrong person a pervert. "S-sorry," was all Ratio could manage before tearing his eyes away from her, ears splaying in embarassment.

She slid the still fogged up door shut."Out, Raito-San," she said. Raito could hear the acridity and embarassment that filled her usual humdrum voice to the brim.

And the underlying 'I'll kill you if you don't' tone. . .It was actually somewhat terrifying to him that the woman sounded so serious, not that she wasn't not serious, but anyway, you get the point.

Raito gladly listened and immediately left her to her privacy.

"Raito-San, what're you doing on this floor?" L asked him, her thumb pressed against her front teeth and a scowl on her face.

"I couldn't sleep and I wanted to find you so we could get back to work on the case, Ryuzaki," he stated, Raito wasn't about to tell her about the conspiracy he had made up.

The infurieated female drew her knees to her chest and gnawed on her thumbnail. "I highly doubt that," she muttered, eyes rivetted to the object of her uncharacteristic, yet well justified, anger, "Raito-San has invaded my personal floor in hopes of finding my name in an attempt to kill me. But when he could not, he tried to find me. Upon finding me in the shower, Raito-San decided to go through my clothes for an identification or something."

"Ryuzaki, I'm sorry to say this, but, you're jumping the gun just a bit here."

L glared at him and curled the hand on her knee into a ball. "No, Raito-San. I am quite confident in my recent deduction," she sneered. She turned her back to him and added, "Now my suspicion of you being Kira is at twenty-eight percent."

"But I didn nothing! You're over reacting, Ryuzaki!"

"Nothing is as it appears, Raito-Kun," she replied as she looked over her shoulder, "You may say one thing but mean another; it has an underlying meaning. This was an attempt to learn my name."

The accused teen scowled at the newly discovered female, his ears splaying with anger against his auburn locks. "You're stubborn, Ryuzaki, y'know that?" he hissed with disdain.

"Not as stubborn as men," L deadpanned.

Raito glowered irritably at her before sneering, "You're just PMSing."

This earned Raito more uncharacteristic anger from L but he chuckled. His own anger evaporated and his ears perked back up. She scowled at him, turning to face him again, and he just smirked. Her anger no longer startled or intimadated him.

In fact, it inspired a plan to have all suspicion against him dropped. He could let a few terms of endearment loose, flirt here and there. It could work, the detective being a woman (from the waist down in shape) and all. But that was just minor details to the sudden idea. Impregnate her. Hard feat, he knew, but worht a shot. . .in a few months. He had to get closer to the woman first.

Raito leaned towards her, a flirtatious smirk forming on his lips. "It's true, isn't it?" he bedeviled the discomposed sugar addict, his face an inch from hers.

She puffed a cloud of air at her bangs and glowered at the male teen. "What if I am, Raito-Kun?"

"It's making you think irrationally, Ryuzaki," he murmurred, causing the female teen's ears to splay flat. For the hell of it, he leaned in the rest of the way and pressed is lips to hers in a light kiss.

L fell backwards out her chair in response to the unexpected kiss. Her face was a bright red all the way to her hair line and her panda eyes were wide in surprise. "Raito-Kun!" she hissed, the surprise turning into flustered anger, "That was unexpectable!"

He grinned as he watched the female climb to her bare feet. She shot him a dirty look and sent him to his own floor. Based on the reaction from his 'for the hell of it' experiment, he was going to have fun trying to woo the female L.

I'm sorry if it seems like I am stereotyping men and women, and gay-bashing. I have no quarrels with anyone based on gender or sexuality. :3 So I apologize if you find it offensive.

Review and tell me what you think. Should I continue it? Should I quit it? Suggestions? Complaints? Let me know:3

P.S. Snowballs are good! X3 The pink, coconut/chocolate/marshmellow/cream thingies. X3 This is coming from someone who hates coconut.

EDIT: Added lines for time lapses b/c when I do little symbols to show that I skipped a bit of time, they take them out, which soooo pisses me off big time.
