25 minutes earlier…
A young man was staring at the computer, his long, slim fingers tapping too rapidly to be typing nonsense on face book or twitter.
No this young man isn't on some stupid teenage website.
This young man is L, the greatest detective in the world.
He was playing solitaire on the computer while waiting for the extensive criminal file to download.
It may take a while.
L cracked his back and massaged his shoulders. He hasn't had sleep for 21 hours. He isn't tired at all.
Just bored.
And extremely pissed.
Kira's identity is still a big fat question mark.
?
He couldn't even pin point where Kira is. Let alone know who Kira was.
He had been sure his L Lind Taylor ploy would work. He might not know who Kira was, but he knew Kira was slightly like him. Why didn't it work?
L raked a hand in his raven black hair.
He probably was distracted by something.. or he didn't get to watch it… L concluded. He still wasn't satisfied thought.
Kira had to be from Kanto. The first killing was from there.
L furiously chewed on a sugar cube.
Or… maybe Kira killed the first one in Kanto to confuse him.
There were too many possibilities yet no answers… it was giving L a migraine. For the first time in years, L felt like he needed a break.
L glanced at the window. The moon was eerily beautiful tonight. L wasn't going to be fooled by the serene look outside. He knew it was really hot and humid.
It was odd how Japan is getting hotter and hotter. Sure, global warming was happening everywhere, but why was Japan extremely hot?
It's as if someone left the gates of hell open and the heat escaped to earth.
Sure.. He's been reading too many gothic literatures lately.
L sighed, staring at the monitor. Only 20 percent loaded.
L ran his skeleton fingers in his unruly hair, messing it up more.
L then noticed a blinking light at the mini power system at the corner of his room. Watari had installed it there so that when the temperature of the room was perfect fro L, the light would blink on. It was a great invention; they had used it in multiple ways.
To make sure the room was air conditioned, the bedroom heating at a nice temperature and……
The swimming pool at the perfect temperature too.
L went to the machine and read that the pool temperature was set at his taste perfectly. No doubt it was Watari, trying to make him get off the computer for a while.
He hated it when the old man forces him to do things but.. maybe a swim for a few minutes would clear his head a little.
The beautiful pool costs 2.6 million to build, yet he probably only used it once. L might dress simply, but he definitely liked the finer things in life. He might be a bit more materialistic than he liked to admit..
L threw his clothes off haphazardly and grabbed a pair of black trunks. He grabbed a towel off a rack and got in the elevator.
L leaned his head against the mirror in the elevator, staring at his own dark orbs.
Maybe I'm not being particular enough, L thought. There has to be some details about the case that he overlooked.
L knocked his head against the glass, hearing the hard thunk his skull caused. It didn't even hurt. He must have had a skull made out of bricks
Maybe I need to take a break from the Kira case for a while. Do something else. L lifted his forehead, inspecting it. Nope, not even a red mark.
L got on off on the highest floor and walked silently towards the sliding door.
It's like a game of hide and seek. It's exhilarating, but when the other person hides too well, the seeker gets discouraged.
L slide the sliding door softly, barely making a sound. Eventhought Japan is bursting with life at night as well, this particular night it was quiet.
Maybe it's because the building was too high.
L stepped forwards slowly, staring at his long toe nails in the moonlight. He really needs to trim them; they scratch the skin off his ankles sometimes.
Then L heard a soft splash.
L snapped his head to the right.
There, splashing in the middle of the pool, was a person.
Or was it?
L studied the person. The person had short reddish brown hair resting at the nape of the neck, curling from the water slightly. So this person might be a boy.
L's eyes travelled down the graceful neck towards the smooth back, that was tanned and practically glowing in the moonlight.
Then the boy turned around.
Scratch the boy idea.
L is an atheist. That's why the idea of Kira being a god was ridiculous.
But.. but this boy…
This boy had to be an Angel.
Wet golden red strands fell around the boy's face, curling at his cheek. Those eyes, wide and almond shaped, a sure sign of Asian descent. But the colour- hazel, honey chocolate hazelnuts.
The mouth, slightly gaping, was pink and plump.
L felt his own mouth gaping slightly.
This boy had to be an angel.
After a few seconds of ogling at the angel's beauty, L mentally slapped himself.
No such thing as angels.
Only trespassing teenagers that looked like angels.
L mentally slapped himself again before asking,
" Who are you?"
The ang- boy didn't reply. He looked at L, those innocent eyes getting wider.
" This is private property. What are you doing here?" L asked. His voice sounded oddly gentle in his ears. Why was he softening his voice for this kid?
Maybe because the child looked completely innocent, beautiful and wet in the middle of his big pool.
L stared at the boy. Then he asked another question that completely befuddled him.
" How on earth did you get up here?" L asked. There was no way the boy could've have gotten here from inside. What did he do? Ride a helicopter? Scaled the building?
Utterly ridiculous.
Still no answer from the boy. The boy bit his lip and seemed to sink lower in the pool.
Well, he has to answer sooner or later. L concluded, his dark eyes still staring in the lighter honey ones.
He can't stay in the pool forever. By the time he's out, he'll be in big trouble.
Then something unbelievably unexpected happened.
It actually happened.
Right in front of the atheist's eyes.
In a big splash, the boy flew upwards, hovered in mid air for a second, the golden body dripping wet and glowing under the moonlight, completely naked.
Before L could even let out a gasp of utter surprise, the boy flew out of sight.
What.
The.
HELL?
Raito felt his heart beating so hard for the second time that night.
He is so dead, so dead so dead so dead so dead so dead dead dead
" Heh.. heh.. Ryuk laughed nervously, still carrying the boy awkwardly- he basically just dived in the pool and wrapped his arms on the boy's torso and flew off. It probably looked like the boy was flying from the dude's point of view.
" Shut up Ryuk." Raito said, his voice void of any emotion. Ryuk could practically see the utter panic in Raito's eyes.
Ryuk stayed silent during the short journey towards the tree that had Raito's blanket. He was waiting for Raito to blow up at him.
Ryuk hovered near the tree, shifting Raito to one arm to retrieve the blanket with the other. He couldn't even look at the teen the entire way- He was afraid of the death glare the boy might be sporting at him.
Yet he can't help noticing how soft Raito's bare skin felt under his large hand. Apparently one of his long fingers was on Raito's nipple.
Ryuk ignored the feeling in his gut but felt it increase when he saw the boy's face was slightly flushed. Ryuk grabbed the blanket and wrapped the boy in it, carrying him bridal style.
Raito was strangely quiet.
It was completely awkward.
Ryuk decided to break the silence first.
" Raito, I'm sorry I suggested that you shou-
" Where are my clothes, Ryuk?"
If only his hands weren't full of Raito, he would've scratched his head sheepishly.
" I… threw them away?"
Raito turned to face him., his eyebrow raised.
" Did you throw it Far away?"
Ryuk raised an eyebrow too. " Yeah.. Very far away. Aren't you mad?"
Raito breathed a sigh of relief. And chuckled.
Ryuk looked completely bewildered. From all the things he expected Raito to do, laughing was not one of it.
" Why aren't you mad?"
" Why would I be? Your prank just saved my life." Raito smiled.
" My clothes would have been proof that I was on that roof that night. Since its gone.. there's no proof." Raito gave a grin, and god, it was so cute.
Ryuk grinned back. " You should have seen the look on that guy's face when I carried you away"
Raito laughed. Then he remembered that the guy saw him butt naked. His face slowly turned red. Ryuk had summon up all his composure not to laugh at the embarrassed blush the boy was sporting.
" Are you worried about the kid, Raito?"
" No, not really. From the looks of it, the guy seemed pretty young. He's probably the son of the billionaire, out for a swim in the moonlight."
Ryuk nodded his head, flying higher- Raito's blanket slid a little off his shoulders. Ryuk can't help but stare at the smooth chest and the rose coloured nubs on it.. Raito pointedly ignored the shinigami's wandering eyes.
" He probably thought he was hallucinating or something" Raito said, gripping the blanket tighter around himself.
" Its not that difficult for him to think that, You look like a hallucination Raito. No, more like a wet drea-
" Shut up, Ryuk."
Ryuk grinned again. Raito can't help but stare at Ryuk's slightly-human-but-sharp teeth that glimmered under the moonlight.
Like a wolf. Or a vampire. Something dangerous.
Raito looked away.
Tonight was a memorable night.
It felt weird to say it out loud but… he had fun. Sure, it was disastrous and he felt like killing the shinigami more than once that night, but it was fun. He just fulfilled his dream of flying. Sure, he didn't dream he would be flying in the death god's arms, but he did get closer to the sky.
Raito glance at Ryuk the same time Ryuk looked at him. Raito looked away, his face heating up a little.
" Hey Ryuk.."
" Yes, Raito?"
" Thanks. Again. You know. For tonight."
Ryuk's small smirk was oddly endearing. " It was nothing, Raito. I'm glad you liked it."
Raito looked at the sky. It was dark blue… like the eyes of the billionaire's son. Those eyes…. Looked intelligent. The boy was really pale, and had sinewy muscles. But the eyes captured Raito.
He never saw anyone with such honest yet guarded eyes before.
Eyes that could see right through you if you're not careful enough.
Raito shivered at the thought, making Ryuk think he was chilly. Ryuk flew faster at the direction of Raito's house.
" Were almost there, Raito" Ryuk whispered in the little god's ears. Raito mumbled incoherently before nuzzling his cheek in the Death god's leather clad chest.
The apple pie feeling was back again.
Raito, although he was trying to fight it, was slowly falling asleep in the death god's arms. His last thought was " Wonder if Mom would buy a shampoo that costs 186 pounds...."
30 minutes later.
In Kanto, yet far away from the Yagami household, in a high rise condo, there's a young man, dressed only in his swimming trunks, was furiously keying in his hallucination's characteristics in the Police person search data base.
Brown hair. Japanese. Brown eyes. Around 16-20 years old. Around 5'4-5'6. Slender built.
Probably more that ten thousand identification cards came up.
L ignored the headache he was developing.
After skimming through it, he decided to add Kanto area.
The page reduced considerably.
L feverishly scrolled down the pages. There's only one thought in his head.
Must find angel.
Ryuk tucked Raito under the covers. Raito immediately snuggled in deeper, breathing consistently. Raito was asleep.
Death Gods don't sleep.
Ryuk stared at Raito. His chest was rising, and sinking. He was barely moving. Ryuk sat on the bed.
Shinigami's don't sleep.
Ryuk lay his head on the pillow.
They do now.
L felt a wave of tiredness wash over him. He had been so intent on finding the angel, he forgot to eat sweets. Now he's tired.
L beeped Watari for candy.
L stared at the computer screen.
It wasn't a hallucination, he knew it wasn't a hallucination.
Why?
L does not hallucinate.
Plus, he inspected the place. There were traces of mud in the shower drain and on the floor the pool. There was someone there.
L was chewing his black forest chocolate cake when suddenly-
Bingo.
Good morning, angel.
Far away, tucked safely in his bed, an angel was unconsciously snuggling in the god of death.
Little did the angel know that the next morning would bring lots of surprises….
Yay! Longest chappie I've ever wrote finally ended. (relieved.) Seriously. Part 1 and part 2 makes 29 pages in Microsoft word. Gahh. Hands.. are … dying…
