I am way sorry this is taking a long time, but this year I have not had any access to fanfiction at all. It really annoying. I can't read stories or post any. Sigh, but here you go chapter three.
Oh and if L is OCC, sorry but he is five remember. We all love our smart, detective, sexy L, but it's time for smart, cute, and way adorable, and loveable little L .
Disclaimer: If I owned Deathnote book seven would have gone a little differently…
Chapter 3:The Truth Is Out
Aizwa, Mogi, Ide and Soichiro all crowded around Light now, blurting out questions. None of them could take their eyes off the now five year old detective, who was their boss. Even Light couldn't take his own eyes off L. L shifted uncomfortable by the sudden stares, trying to hide behind Light's leg. As if he could disappear back there.
"This is, well L, guys. No I don't know how this happened or why he's five years old. I woke up this morning and found him just like this. No I don't know how to fix it either. Yes, it is defiantly L. Trust me." Light sighed, trying to answer all of their questions. If only he could answer his own questions. Everyone simply stared in awe. This was illogical and just plain impossible. "Oh, and he doesn't know who any of us are, or why he's here, or even that he was the L. He's five again and not the old adult L. But he says this place is familiar, so maybe he knows things, but he just doesn't remember clearly?" Light added in hope.
Mogi blinked. Aizwa gaped. Soichiro's chin dropped. Ide stood speechless.
"So he doesn't know any of us? At all?" Asked Sorichro. Light nodded solemnly watching L hide from the others. Boy he's a shy kid.
"Um, well hi L." Mogi said suddenly surprising everyone in the room. "My name's Mog." He said softly. L peeked at Mogi, from behind Light's leg, looking only at Mogi now.
"Hi Mogi." He whispered in a kind, gently, child-like voice. Aizwa almost smiled at L then.
"Hi, I'm Aizwa." He said, waving at L. L moved away from Light's leg farther in wonder. He waved at Aizwa, before flashing a childish smile at him. Aizwa blinked in surprise.
"And I am Yagami Sorichro. Light's father." Soichiro smiled his kind, fatherly smile at the boy. L moved fully away from Light's leg then. He looked at Soichiro in amazement.
"Hi. You're Light's daddy?" He asked big, black eyes shinning in wonder. Sorichro nodded with a chuckle. This L wasn't so bad, he was actually kind of . . .cute. "Wow!"
L let go of Light's hand by then, wandering the task force room, looking at everything in amazement. He took in all the police work surrounding him. L walked up to the still astounded Ide, introducing himself. The other four men looked at each other.
"He's a kid." Aizwa said out loud to no one in particular.
"So now we have to watch over him, and work on the Kira case? Without L? But we need L." Mogi said even quieter.
"I know. Though until we figure out what the hell happened, we just have to deal with him being a kid." Soichiro sighed, pressing his fingers to his temple. "But Light, he seems to trust you so I'm leaving you in charge of him."
"What?" Light cried suddenly. There was absolutely no way he was going to take care of a child. Especially not L. Not a small, messy, curious, cute…
The four men turned around when they heard a small sound, that sounded like a giggle. They turned to find L with his lips covered in muffin crumbs, and one of his overlong sleeves draped over his head, while Ide sat watching the kid.
Light felt a chuckle slip out of him when he saw L, who smiled at himself. Light paused for a moment in thought. He has a nice smile, when he does smile. What he said, surprised everyone.
"Okay. I'll watch over him." He said walking over to L.
"Hey L, wanna come with me to go find Matsuda?" Light asked gently. L looked at Light messily.
"We'll go outside?" He asked. Light paused. That's right, L had never really been an outdoor person before. He never really went out unless he had to. Light nodded hesitantly.
"Yay outside!" L jumped up suddenly waving his long sleeves. Light stepped back in surprise, at this new attitude for L. These new emotions sure were different on him.
Light walked out the doors of their hotel and into the cool, breezy morning air. Light zipped up his jacket tighter, taking L's overlong sleeve, squeezing the small hand inside it. L had to once again jog or jump to keep up with Light's pace. He was a much taller man, and faster.
"Light. Light." He whined but Light was no longer paying attention. He was lost inside his own thoughts.
L was a little kid now. He couldn't do a lot on his own. Light was going to have to watch him; make sure he eats; get him clothes; bathe him…oh no. Bathe him? There was no way Light was going to bathe L. He was . . . he was, his boss!
Not to mention now, they still had to work on the Kira case, alone, without the help of the genius detective L. That just made Light feel a hell of a lot better. Not.
Would L be suck like this forever? Would he ever go back to the old L? How did this even happen, and why? Would-
"Liiiiight!" L whined louder this time. Light turned he gaze down at L, who was pulling on Light's arm trying to keep up in pace. "Liiiiiiight slow down." He whined. Then Light noticed that L was trudging to keep up with Light's quickened pace.
Light quickly slowed down his pace, allowing L to finally walk rather than run. L sighed in relief, facing his big black eyes on Light with a smile. Light pulled out his cell phone dialing Matsuda's number, stopping for a moment. L on the other hand turned his attention to the puddles surrounding them.
"Light?" Matsuda's voice filled the other end of the receiver suddenly. L jumped from Light landing right into a puddle. He giggled when the water splashed against him, while Light merely groaned. Of course.
"Yeah Matsuda, where are you?" Light asked watching L jump from one wet puddle to another, and to another.
"At some store. What am I supposed to get? I don't shop for kids!" Matsuda nearly yelled through the phone. L giggled and jumped into another puddle, this time soaking his clothes. Now he really needs new clothes. Light groaned into the phone taking L's soaking wet sleeve.
"Where are you Matsuda? L and I will meet you there now." Light sighed trying to peel L away from oncoming puddles. Matsuda told Light his location, and Light breathed a sigh of relief knowing they were close to the store. He smiled gently at L, whose face was bright and happy for once. He hung up the phone, pulling L along side him.
"Where are we going?" L asked curiously.
"To get you some new clothes." Light explained not looking down at the child. The two walked in silence a while longer, when Light finally noticed L's hand was shaking. Light looked down to see L shivering. His lips were a dark blue against his pale face, the wet clothes clung to his body as he shivered.
"L are you cold?" No duh captain obvious.
"N-No. I-It's o-okay." L's teeth clattered against each other and he hugged himself for warmth. Light jerked off his coat off in panic. L could get sick or worse! He may have done this to himself, by jumping in those puddles, but he was just a little kid, and Light couldn't help but worry. It was as if it was instinct.
He wrapped his jacket around the small shivering child, warming L up.
"You need to stay warm. No more puddles." Light warned sternly leading L onward. L wrapped himself tighter in Light's jacket. Why did he worry?
"T-thank you Light. Y-you're nice." L clattered squeezing Light's hand. For a split second Light's heart warmed, rising in pace in his chest. L liked Light now…
So I know these first few chapters are just the beginning, but don't worry the real plots (yes there is more than one) will come later. Until I get internet access again, see you later.
Oh, and if anyone has any good Deathnote fanfictions that are really good, let me know. I need to read some good ones.
