Obviously I don't own Death Note or I would be, like, a millionaire and there would probably be yaoi in it!

Enjoyy

Chapter 2

After the final bell rang Light wasn't surprised to find Misa waiting for him outside. He was surprised when he saw L waiting with his "girlfriend".

"Misa-Misa loves you!" She announced to the world and threw her arms around his neck in a sort of hug.

He sighed and stood still until the blonde removed her arms. "Misa, didn't I talk to you about your public displays of affection last night?"

She pouted. "But Liiiight!" She whined in her annoyingly high voice.

He ignored her and turned toward L. "Can I help you?"

L was busy chewing on his thumb and not looking at the couple. He kept his eyes trained on the ground. "I suppose I don't have anything to do, coffee does sound nice."

Light blinked and looked a little taken aback. "I never asked you-"

He was cut off as L continued. "Of course if you must you can bring your little plaything." His eyes strayed only briefly to Misa.

"Hey! Plaything?! Misa is Light's girlfriend!" L continued to ignore her and didn't speak directly to her.

"Just keep her under control." He stated bluntly.

Light merely nodded. L was strange, he admitted to himself but he'd do anything to not have an afternoon alone with the hyper active model.

L led the way to the small coffee shop that was only two blocks from the school but Misa still found things to complain about. "Misa's feet hurt! Misa wanted Light all to herself. Misa didn't even get a kiss. Misa might be late to her next job if we don't hurry." It infuriated Light and he had to work extra hard to keep his mouth shut.

They all sat in a small booth in the back of the shop. L on one side and Misa and Light on the other. Misa kept trying to cuddle up to him but he just kept scooting away until he was pressed up against the wall. "Enough Misa." He finally commanded after she kept advancing. She whimpered but backed off.

"Light-kun does not like PDA." L observed but he didn't seem to be talking to anyone, more like talking to himself.

"Well, do you?" Light eyed the man a crossed from him who shrugged.

"I don't mind it."

Misa spoke, sounding like this topic was something she wanted to hear about, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

L didn't look at her but he stared directly at Light. "No, nor do I wish to have one."

"Oh." She didn't like his answer at all.

The entire table stayed quiet as they all sipped their coffee.

"Misa-Misa has to go!" She said as she stood up suddenly and rushed out of the quaint coffee shop.

Light immediately stood, "I'd better go, too."

L studied the teen, "There is a 7.6 percent chance Misa is the second Kira who only needs a face to kill. I'm sure one of my dectectives have already picked her up. I can not risk it, Kira."

Light glared at L. "I am not Kira."

"And yet every time you say that I believe you less and less. Don't worry she has no idea she's being taken into custody. She thinks she has been given a free hotel room from a fan and I plan to keep it that way." He chewed on the end of his thumb and held his mug in his other hand.

"Very well." Light sat back down a crossed from L.

"Now, I want to ask your opinion on something." He took out three cards and placed them in no particular order on the table. "I believe Kira is trying to communicate with me through these. Tell me the order you think they go in."

Light arranged the cards into the simple message L was meant to receive that had no secret meaning what so ever. "This makes the wording make sense but these cards are also numbered. But..." He ordered them how the police had numbered them. "It's an incomplete message."

L set another card on the table, "Light-kun never thought there would be a fourth card."

Light blinked, unable to stop himself. A fake card? L was trying to mess with his head, that had to be it. "I guess my deduction skills aren't as good as yours, Ryuzaki." He forced himself to say.

L seemed pleased with the compliment. "No... I guess not, Light-kun." L smiled down at the table and gathered up the cards, shoving them into his pocket.

L stood and Light looked at him, baffled. "You're leaving?"

L smiled at Light, he'd never smiled so genuinely before. "Don't worry, I'll see you at school tomorrow." He reached over and gave Light an affectionate hair ruffle, that surprised them both, before he left.

Light left then too, finding no reason to stay. He wandered the streets home and made his way up to his room, camera free since he made Ryuk check in exchange for a bag of apples. He sat at his desk and stared at the drawer that held his Death Note. He shook his head. "Not today, Misa is in charge of the killings..." Light's eyes widened. Misa! "Ryuk, if you get me Misa's Death Note I'll buy you an entire barrel full of apples." He sounded desperate but he didn't care.

Ryuk laughed but he did want those apples. "This is why you're my favorite human. Deal." He left then, to Misa's place for the Death Note Light so badly needed.

A/N: Imma try to get the chapters longer as I work my way into the story, and don't think this'll be the same as Death Note(:But please do continue reading and reviewing! Much appreciated!
