I probably should not be updating so many stories at once, but I was reading through this "old" thing (I started on it a year ago but never submitted it) and I thought it was just too funny to not put up on FF. As usual, I'm being SUPER evil to L... but the people that have favorited/subscribed seem to like that. So, here it is - fem!L. Not only have I made him suffer through pregnancy, now I'm making him suffer through a female body.

Enjoy~

"Ryuuzaki?"

"I'm busy!" Came the irritated tone from the bathroom.

Watari sighed, trying the doorknob. It was locked, but he had known that would be the case. He pulled out a lockpick and within seconds he had the door open, but he regretted it upon what he saw. L was glaring at him from the mirror, still in the middle of wrapping his slightly swollen upper torso with duct tape. He cut the tape and pressed it against his chest, looking in the mirror.

The older man closed the door behind him, still in awe. He cleared his throat, unsure how to ask the curious question. "Have you been taking... es-"

"No," he said shortly, pulling his shirt back on. "I have not been taking estrogen." He looked at himself in the mirror again, and accepting that no one but he, and unfortunately Watari, would know what he was hiding, he opened the door and walked out of the bathroom and back into the hotel suite.

Watari followed him, frowning, looking concerned. "Lawliet," he said quietly, and the man's shoulders stiffened slightly. He looked around at his guardian, a sour look on his face.

"Watari... I hate Shinigami."

L hadn't felt this kind of sense of accomplishment for some time now. For the past few months, he had been trying so hard to prove that Raito was Kira, and NOW he had the evidence. Through many secret recordings and patiently experimenting with the audio from the recordings, he finally got it. Of course, mainly paranormal researchers would be interested in this new evidence, but he HAD it.

He usually wasn't the type of person to brag - at least to one of the people - creature, monster, whatever he was - that were recorded, but he was caught in the middle of listening to it one last time before he was to turn it into Yagami-san, memorizing what the Shinigami was saying in the background. He could feel his presence before he saw it, and he felt his stomach drop. One of his main worries was that Ryuk would kill him before he had his chance to turn the evidence over.

"You don't want to do that," he said, that stupid grin on his face, as if he were already plotting something.

"Why not? Aren't you growing bored with Kira?" L asked coolly, despite the way his stomach tightened, making him feel nauseous. "This game is over, Ryuk. I've won and there's nothing you can do about it."

His grin grew and the chuckled darkly. "I can kill you."

L only smiled darkly, standing up straight for once. "Oh, but where's the fun in that?" He asked slowly, ejecting the CD and putting it in a case. "Besides... Raito-kun would be so angry at you. I'm sure he'd want to kill me himself."

And with that, he walked off, not knowing of the discussion Ryuk would have later with Raito and their plan of revenge.

A week later, there he was, binding his chest with tape. It wasn't so obvious yet, but L certainly noticed when he stripped for a shower and he nearly shouted in shock. He was a man for God's sake. He wasn't supposed to have breasts or even minor hormonal changes. He'd already been through puberty, thank you very much, but this was entirely different. He didn't show it, but during certain days, he'd felt much more emotional, especially when he caught Raito staring at him oddly. He felt like the simple glances that he would give the poor detective were more predatory than anything.

L would have liked to think that his secret was safe, but Raito noticed some changes. His body structure, for one. His pants fitted him differently. They weren't so baggy anymore, especially around the waist area; however, he didn't know what Ryuk had done yet, so he thought he was imagining it, but his hips seemed wider, and his rear seemed to fill his pants slightly.

At first, he thought that it was just his imagination from not being able to be with a woman for so long. Even though he was free to come and go as he pleased, he still wasn't free to date anyone, for he didn't have the time. To maintain some of his innocence, he had to be there every day, just like his father. He was sure that if he didn't show up, L would try to use that against him.

So when he noticed the changes, he paid little attention. But there were other changes. L's voice seemed a little more high pitched whenever he spoke. Even though he tried to pretend as if he didn't notice it, Raito could see the nervousness on his face when his voice cracked, and if he really paid attention, he could see a sudden softness of his jawline.

Despite his constant questions to Ryuk, he wouldn't tell him. Whenever he asked, he just laughed uncontrollably until Raito gave him an apple to shut him up.

That day, though, he knew. At first he felt the same as L: shocked, a little flabbergasted. But after thinking about it, he could see why Ryuk thought it was so hilarious.

L, however, thought it extremely humorless. On that day, he had been experiencing abdominal cramps. At first, they were tolerable, and then he thought some monster was going to start clawing its way through his stomach. It became so much for him that he rushed off to the bathroom without a word to anyone. A yelp of horror caught everyone's attention and Watari moved faster than Raito had thought possible for the elderly man. "Ryuuzaki!" He called, rapping his knuckles on the door. He waited only a few seconds before slipping inside and closed it before anyone could sneak a peek.

When the bathroom door opened again, only Watari came out, his mouth in a straight, tight line.

"Is Ryuuzaki-san okay?" Matsuda asked worriedly.

"Yes, he'll be fine. Excuse me." Watari side-stepped and walked back up stairs. When he came back, he was holding a dark bag. He opened the door, dropped the bag inside and closed the door again.

L came out again, but he quickly made his exit.

"You may all be dismissed for the day," Watari said.

"Watari-san... Is Ryuuzaki-san-" Raito started, but the older man only gave him a tense but kind smile.

"Yes. Thank you for your concern, but he's just feeling under the weather. You don't need to worry."

Raito heard everyone's murmurs as they left. Aizawa didn't seem to have any problem with it. He was glad to go home and be able to spend the day with his family, just as long as he got paid in the end. Matsuda looked lost, but his father was annoyed. L had made them work no matter the weather or THEIR physical conditions; why should they give him any leniency in return?

"I'll be home soon, Father. I have to do something first," Raito told him as he was leaving.

Soichiro sighed. "Raito... It's very kind of you to be so considerate, but L has put you through so much. I'm sure he'll be fine by tomorrow, and your mother would like you home."

"I know. I'll be there soon, I promise." He gave him an innocent smile. That seemed good enough for the man and he left his son.

Now... it was time to test his theory... Whether he would get away with it was debatable, but if Ryuuzaki was to repeat it to anyone, the rest of the team would be behind Raito. Besides, that would teach the Great Detective to not make enemies of his co-workers.

As always, tell me how you like it. I do have at least another chapter finished so it won't be too long before another one's up.
