In The Shadow of a legend
A story of Ruby's (OC) life and how she copes with always being in the shadow of a genius. Warnings the story is a bit depressing. Slight L/OC.
I'm sure almost everyone knows about the existence of the great detective L. Some view him as Evil, some as good, but no matter what they think they still acknowledge his existence. By now you might be thinking who is this and why is she writing all this. So I'll tell you, My name is Ruby and I'm the shadow of the shadow . I'm the person no one knows about, the person no one sees, the person that lives behind the scenes only to die and be forgotten. But maybe that's not really true because how can you forget something you have never even known exist. I've devoted all of my time to help L in hi quest for justice. At first it was hard for me to adjust to being invisible to everyone except L and Watari .
In time I got so used to being the one no one sees that when I was finally taken out of the dark corner I felt unnerved and uncomfortable. I remember very clearly the day when L thrust me out of my save heaven and into the light . I happened like this …..
… A month after the start of the kira case L decided to move us to Japan after establishing that Kira resides in the Island country . We took a flight to Tokyo . When we got there we stayed in a hotel for a week and then we started changing places every week , as to avoid being tracked down . A week and a half after we had arrived in Japan L sent watari to contact The Japanese task force . We had been working together for two weeks , when L and I noticed something . Information about The case was being leaked by someone in the task force . At that point L hired 12 FBI agents to come and investigate the members of the task force as to find the leak. A week later the agents were killed by Kira and the task force found out that they had been tailed . A lot of the quit at that moment leaving only 5 men to work with , that of course was something I had known would happen . After all the idea was to get the people who weren't that devoted to finding Kira to quit and it happened .The next day L contacted the task force again which wasn't a big surprise , but the thing that shocked me was that L told the chief that He was going to meet him and his men in a day and that all of us were going to work together to the end of the case . When I heard that I was shocked ,L didn't meet the people he worked with , he just didn't . As I was panicking on the inside L turned to me .
Ruby , as you heard we're going to work with the task force , they are going to be here tonight just so you know. And another think I know I usually keep you hidden ,but this time I want you to stay here and meet them . It's going to be too much of a bother to contact you when they're going to be here all the time. And also you are going to be a great help in finding that murderer .
I sat there for a moment in silence and then nodded in agreement . Satisfied with my answer L turned around and started typing . I sat there and watched him not knowing what else to do. After a few minutes I got tired of not doing anything and sat in front of my computer and started looking through the information trying to find some important clues that could help us end this case quicker.
