The Missions Started
Present day in the hotel, morning after Kind's arrival in Tokyo.
"Ryuzaki the task force members will be on their way shortly, shall I prepare coffee and cake?" K shot up her hand in front of Watari's mouth, "Very well Yuki, I will leave coffee and cake to you, I will return shortly with items you have requested." He bowed respectfully and took his leave, as soon the door shut Yuki, Kind's new name, folded her arms and scowled at Ryuzaki.
"This isn't a discussion Yuki, I can't do this one on my own. Kira was able to kill those FBI agents, I know that he made a mistake, but I need help finding it I can't let this one slip through the cracks, and the police would not work with me without meeting..." Kind gestured to herself with both hands. "No! You will not be involved with this case you will remain in your room and you will stay there till I say you can come out!" She stepped close to him pointing a finger at his chest, her face turning red with anger. "You heard what I said young lady, you are still a minor and I am your guardian you will do as I say, and I say you will not get involved, the only reason you have a alias is because I didn't want to blow my own cover." He folded his arms and watched as she wheeled around on her heel slamming the door to the kitchen. Later that night she purposefully made L the worst cup of coffee she could.
"Go to the kitchen Yuki…" L said, she hugged his arm not knowing what might happen… his first public appearance as L… "Please go, it's almost midnight, I don't want them to see you." She was still pouting, and she was afraid for him since he was acting like he wasn't. She placed a tray on the table with small cakes and a small white table set. "Goooooo…" he said grabbing her shoulders and pushing her into the kitchen like she was an intruding mother on his sleep over party. They both heard a knock on the door, L held a finger to his lips motioning for her to be quiet. "It's unlocked, please let yourselves in."
It was morning now and L was nearly finished with talking to the police for the day.
"Huh? Ryuzaki." Matsuda said, "I didn't take you for a cat person."
"Hmmm?" he said slightly surprised. Behind him a fat cat was sitting in the doorway to the kitchen, the door was slightly opened and he quickly became annoyed. L was certain that K was crouching against the wall listening to everything they were talking about. "Yes that's Joker and he's in a lot of trouble.." he said in a deeper tone. "Alright let's call it a day well meet again tonight. Thank you all for your cooperation." Each of them left with their new ids and belts as soon as they had left L returned to the kitchen to find K sitting on the floor J had returned to her side and she was petting his head softly, she looked at L with big soft eyes. He let out a sigh, of relief or annoy he wasn't sure anymore. "If you ever make another cup of coffee like that again I'll confine you to your room…" he said in a very unemotional serious tone, but looked down at her with childlike eyes and a sweet innocent smile. "Why don't you go to bed, I know that you'll want to be there tonight when we go over the footage from Ray Pember's death." K tugged at sleeve asking him to come with her. "No…" he thought about his choice of words carefully, "I need to think about some things right now, take J with you." She nodded and returned to her room.
Nightfall was already upon him by the time L realized he had spaced out all day, mulling things over his mind always getting distracted by things now and then that happened out the window. A small figure was becoming more clear in the window as the reflection of K silently approached him, she had such quiet footsteps. "If I stopped talking would you be able to read me as well as I can read you?" he asked. She smiled hugging him from behind shaking her head looking up at him pointing to his eyes. "You think I don't always express myself?" nodding her head she held an index finger to her lips. "I lie to keep us safe Kind… You always express yourself with your eyes, I make up for what you lack, and likewise." He said honestly, she gave him a quizzical look in response. "What I mean is I talk enough for the both of us, my hands are dirty enough for the both of us, you feel more than I do it's not just because you're different but also because you're not afraid to, you choose not speak because you believe that actions and expressions are more important, you know from me that people lie… through you I can express my feelings, and through me you will always be safe." She hugged him tightly, "Although," he said childishly, "a good conversation with you would be nice once in a while." He smiled and she blushed looking away from him.
'I'm sorry Law… But I've gotten so used to this now… I like it better that you already know what I think. What's point of saying anything that might ruin the moment?' He looked at her with round black eyes, 'Maybe for you…' "Okay…" she whispered, he blinked at her a few times before she walked away, she headed into the kitchen, L smiled at himself for a long while putting his thumb to his lips as the cogs in his mind kept turning...
Sorry if this chapter was a little boring… but I really like having "conversations" between L and K.
