Author's Note – I didn't realize you had to make an author's note before you posted it haha. Thank you to everyone who reads this! This is my first fanfic ever and one night me and my sister were laughing what would happen if everyone from Death Note switched bodies. I hope you enjoy it, please review if you have the time :)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, if I did, L definitely would still be alive today
After everyone got up and received the shocking news of being in someone else's body, they sat gathered in a circle to talk about what they were going to do. Well, everyone that is, except for the bodies of Misa, Mello, and L. They were still clearly knocked out. And, if you recall from the last chapter, Mello passed out when he found out he was in L's body.
"What are we going to do?" Matsuda asked nobody in particular, gripping at his hair, a worried expression across his face. He was so nervous he was making Light's whole body tremble.
"Matsuda, what the hell! You're making me look pathetic," Light said, shooting a murderous glare in Mastuda's direction. Light shook his head and turned away, only to find Matsuda's body standing over, hunched, staring him in the eyes with his thumb pressed up against his mouth.
"Ahhh! I can't escape Matsuda!" Light screamed, ready to tear all this stupid white hair out of his head. He was ready for this nightmare to end. Light hated being stuck in the white haired freak's body. It made him feel like a child. Taking nervous glances at everyone surrounding him, he crawled over to the corner where he proceeded to break down into fetal position, his eyes twitching every so often.
"Interesting," L noted, tapping his mouth. "I never thought I'd live to see the day where Near actually expressed some type of emotion."
"Hey, come on, I'm really not that bad," Matsuda said, pouting. "And L...uh...could you not hunch my back so much. I look like the hunch back of Notre Dame when you stand like that!"
"Sorry, Matsuda," L drawled, rolling his eyes, "but even if I am stuck in your body, we can't stop this investigation. I will not allow my reasoning skills to drop 40%." And with that statement, he walked away, probably to stare and prod other people in the room.
"Misa Misa!" Matsuda cried, as if just realizing her body was still on the ground. "Oh no, what to do, what to do," he muttered to himself. Leaning over body, he was unsure of how to wake her up. 'Should I slap her or something? Ahh no! I can't hit a woman! But, then again, she's most likely not even in this body...but that would mean...,' he looked over at Mello's body and grimaced. His was the only one left.
Stepping over Misa's body, he slowly approached Mello. 'Can I slap him if Misa Misa is in his body?,' he wondered. That's when a light bulb flashed over his head. "But of course," he said out loud grinning, "he's guy! He can take it. So it's definitely okay!" And besides he didn't even like Mello! Mello always scolded him and called him an idiot. Well, everyone else did too...but Mello more than anyone else in the room! Matsuda reassured himself that since it was Mello's body, no harm would actually come to Misa Misa, and with that, he hit Mello's face with everything he's got.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Mello's body squealed, rubbing his face."What was that for?"
Misa rubbed her eyes, and looked up to see Light leaning over her. Any thought she had of killing the person who slapped her died in an instant. "Light!" she squealed in delight, hugging him.
'Yep, that's definitely Misa Misa,' Matusda thought to himself, wincing from her death grip. Only she would be that happy to see Light!
From across the room, Light was watching the scene unfold. "Mello...Mello is hugging my body," he mumbled, his eye twitching uncontrollably. This situation was driving Light insane and he had had enough. Standing up, he sprinted over, intending to punch Mello in the face, but accidentally tripped over the long, white pajama pants and punched L instead.
Light fell to his knees, horrified at hitting the wrong person. "Oh, wait, it's just Matsuda," he laughed, shaking his head.
"Actually, I happen to be L," L said, turning around kicking Light square in the jaw. "Sorry, Near, I hope you can forgive me for that one."
Near sat up, rubbing his eyes, completely at a loss of what to say as he watched Matsuda kick his own body and send it flying through the air. Out of instinct he started twirling his hair, only to find he had SO much of it. And it was blonde. Glancing down at the body he was in, he noticed he was barely dressed. And the clothes that were there, well, they were woman's clothes...
"What the hell did Matsuda do?" he asked himself, trying to remember what happened last night. He was pretty sure it had something to do with Matsuda. It always is his fault one way or another.
*Flashback, Near's POV*
I opened my mailbox to find that I had an invitation, from Light? "What's this," I wondered aloud, carefully ripping it open so as not to damage the envelope.
Dear Near,
Tonight's my birthday and I decided to invite all my favorite people from the Kira investigation! We've been working so hard, I also figured it'd be great to take the night off! So meet me at headquarters tonight at 7:30 p.m. and we can get this party started! Oh yeah, we might be going ice skating later, so bring some extra money. Oh, and if it's not too much to ask, could you bring something? Watari is supplying the food and drinks. L and Misa are no help because they both said it was an honor that they'd be showing up at all. Well, and L promised not to eat all the desserts this time. Matsuda is bring strobe lights and twister, and Mello mentioned something about walkie talkies, saying we could use them to play man hunt later or something. So bring something awesome! Hope to see you tonight!
Love,
Light
PS: Watari says he has an awesome birthday present. You don't want to miss that!
Hmmmm, well, I guess it could be interesting, I thought twirling my hair. Alright, I may as well go and feel like I have friends.
Back to Reality
"Why can't I remember anything after that? I don't even remember showing up to the party. Was I drugged or something?" Near frowned, twirling Misa's hair in his fingers.
"I bet anything it was Matusda," he muttered darkly.
Matsuda felt a shiver run down his spin. He had the odd feeling he'd disappointed someone. "Why do I always feel like this," he grumbled. "And hey! Near or whoever you are, watch where you're kicking. That's my face!"
"I'm Near," Near said quietly from across the room.
Matsuda's eyes widened. "What's it feel like to be inside Misa Misa's body?"He was dying to know!
"Shut up moron," Near replied, cursing darkly under his breath. "Damn. Where's my dice at a time like this?"
After getting into that fight with Light in Near's body, L wandered over to his body. "Mello must be in there. I mean, I haven't heard him yelling in awhile." L prodded him. His body stirred slightly. "Hmmmmm...what would wake Mello up?" L sighed, knowing the answer. "Where's his stupid chocolate? Ah, there it is," he said, noticing Near's body crawling around on all fours a chocolate bar in his mouth. Knowing full well Light was in there, he scratched his head. "Light? What the hell are you doing? You're acting like a wild animal."
It was true. Near's body had an insane look in his eyes and his eyes kept darting back and forth suspiciously.
'Well, I guess Ryuuk hasn't shown himself yet, thank God. Oh right, that's me. God. Hehe, I'm thanking myself,' Light thought grinning widely. 'Why is Matsuda, I mean L, looking at me like that? He must be on to me! Damnet!'
Mello woke up groaning and holding his head in his arms. "Ah, what a stupid bitch, you fucking headache," he winced. "What the hell happened?" he asked nobody in particular.
L appeared out of nowhere on top of him, gazing deeply into his eyes and pulling at his own hair. It was his own body after all.
"Matsuda, you idiot! Get the hell off me you freak!" Mello roared shoving Matsuda's body roughly off him. "Ahh so it wasn't a dream god damnet!" He spotted his body gazing lovingly at Light. Ew. Disgusting!
"Don't use my name in vain," Light said suddenly, pointing a finger in Mello's direction. "Wait, I mean," he hesitated, sweat pouring off his eyebrows, "uh, I mean you shouldn't swear so much..."
"Just what the fuck is going on! I swear, when I find out who did this..."
"Mello, calm down," Near said with a flick of Misa's long blonde hair.
"Don't you tell me to calm the fuck down!"
"Everyone, I think we should discuss what we remember from last night to figure it out."
Everyone started nodding their heads in agreement, except for Light who was freaking out in his little corner, and Mello who was swearing off insults at everyone.
'Time to get to the bottom of this,' Near thought.
