Summery: She could never understand why he loved the rain so much. But this time, she thinks she knows.

Misa hated the rain, it was wet and cold.
She hated the way it splashed under her foot, making her shoes wet.
She hated the way it made her hair damp, ruining the things she did to take care of it.
So yeah.
Misa hated the rain.

She always wondered why L loved the rain so much.
How he can sit out there for so long.
Without moving.
Just staring out into the distance.

Like that day, when she saw him outside.
She was coming back from work.
It was raining hard and she was trying to get her umbrella at the right angle so it protected everything.
He was sitting there...or more like crouching.
In the rain, all alone.

She walked over and stood beide him.
He glanced at her slightly but continued staring out.
"What are you doing?", she asked.
"Thinking"
She rolled her eyes slightly and sighed.
"Listen"
She looked at him again at his sudden words.
"Out there"
He said pointing out into the distance.
She looked out but she could not see anything.

She was about to ask him what they were looking for.
But he suddenly snatched her umbrella and dropped it on the stone ground.
Misa opened her mouth to shout at him.
But no words came out.
As if something was stopping her from talking.
All she could do was look out into the world while the wind blew through her now wet hair.
They just stood there.
In silence.
The only sounds there is was the rain beating against their skin, the umbrella, and the ground.
Like an neverending drum solo.
As is everything in the world was suddenly so beautiful, even if only for a second.

Misa re-connected her thoughts and slowly picked up her umbrella.
She tried to say something but really, no words can describe it.
She slowly walked away, looking back once.
She saw him slightly glance at her, and she was sure she could detect a faint smile on his lips.
She turned back around and walked away.

Misa could never understand why L loved the rain so much.
But now she thinks she has an idea.

This was suppose to be an angsty story...but its not that angsty is it? Oh well, I still like it. So hoped you liked it and please review.
