A/N: I apologize, my computer broke down and it is a battle to turn it back on and sometimes it completely shuts down on me. Any ways About the longer chapters request I received about a week ago. I'd like to do that, I can't be sure about fast updates though.

Responds to reviews:

Paon: I'm glad you enjoy the story. Don't worry L and Light interaction is coming soon.

Black-Dranzer-1119: Thank you I'm glad that you don't find any flaws in the story so far, but if you ever do just tell me okay? I swear you are like a mind reader the day I first started writing this chapter I read my reviews and you had wondered excatly what I was typing at the moment

NamuKitsune: Misa is possessive (I just haven't gotten there .... yet) I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Light watched as the pauper was held by the collar of his torn white shirt by a guard. In the paupers hand there was an item that Light couldn't quite see and even though he was being held by the collar of his shirt and being screamed at, the pauper kept an indifferent face. Light approached the two and the guard glanced up at him and then returned to screaming at the pauper before he realized who was approaching them.

The guards face had panic written all over it while the pauper simply looked over his shoulder and stared at the approaching prince before turning his head to look at the guard again. Light stopped in front of the guard and glanced at pauper before he crossed his arms and returned his gaze to the panicking guard. "Whats going on here?" Light asked and the guard began to stutter.

"Th-this man wa-was" The guard began and Light got irritated. The guard reminded him of the stammering buffoons back at the palace that were helping to plan the wedding. Every time one of them came anywhere near the prince they would start shaking and lose they ability to form words together.

"Spit it out would you!" Light screamed.

"This man stole an item from one of the booths you majesty!" The guard responded quickly and the pauper rolled his eyes. He didn't steal anything he just happen to find it on the top of one of the conveniently place tables. Semantics, right?

"I did not steal it" The pauper interrupted. The guard glared at him and Light simply waited for the pauper to continue talking. He was sure that one way or the other the pauper was going to get out of this. "I simply found I on the floor a while back" The pauper lied through his teeth. The prince didn't know this though, so it was okay. "You simply though that I stole it because of your stereotypical way of thinking" The pauper finished and looked at the guard waiting for a response.

The guard was fuming, he saw the pauper steal the necklace from the top of one of the booth when no one was looking and now the pauper is lying and the prince would believe him. Light glared at the guard and gritted his teeth. Is this really how the guards around the kingdom thought? "Let him go?" He demanded and the guard looked at him with a surprised face but let go of the pauper anyway.

The pauper stood there with his thumb in his mouth as he watched Light scold the guard. A smile surrounded his thumb as the guard glared at him before he got screamed at by Light and sent away. That was just too easy. "We seem to run into each other quite often" The pauper stated once the guard was gone.

Light turned around and snatched the necklace out of the paupers hand. He had realized the pauper was lying when he saw the small smile on his lips being reflected on one of the mirrors that lay on the booth right next to them. "This" Light said as he held up the necklace at eye level. "Is going back to where you stole it from" He finished and grabbed the paupers arm leading him to the first booth to their left.

Fuck. That was all that ran through the paupers mind as he was being dragged through the Marketplace. He had guessed wrong the prince didn't buy his lie, well at least he got away.

Both men passed in front of a booth that sold sweets. Light passed the booth without a second thought but the pauper stopped walking which in turn forced the prince backwards. The pauper stared at the delicious pieces of cake longingly. He couldn't believe all the different flavors, Chocolate, Vanilla, Hell there was even Ice cream cake. He looked to the right and there was his favorite flavored cake top with the strawberry and whip cream.

Light looked at all the different flavors of cake and his face scrunched up. He never did like sweets, ever since he was small the only thing he would have with sugar would be the cookies one of the maids cooked for him. Cake and cupcakes never really appealed to him. It was disgusting hoe people would actually rot their teeth with all this stuff, and if they didn't rot their teeth they grew so big that if someone were to roll them down a hill towards a couple of houses they would destroy everything in their way.

The pauper reached out to grab the cake with the strawberry on top, but the prince saw him and grabbed his arm. "What do you think your doing?" The prince sternly asked and the pauper stare at him with a blank face. Light glared at him and pulled his arm to get the pauper to walk but instead landed on his butt when he couldn't get the pauper to move. "Let's go we are returning this necklace"Light stated and stood up trying to get the pauper to move.

"I want that cake first" The pauper stated and continued to stare at the cake. Light was angry and couldn't believe what was going on here. The pauper wouldn't move for a piece of cake? Cake!? It's pastry he could make some when he got back to his home. "Lets go" Light demanded and pulled on the paupers arm.

"Not without the cake" The pauper responded not budging an inch. Light glared and called the baker to come over. The pauper's eyes lite up with excitement at getting what he wanted. That piece of cake was going to make his day. Light paid for the cake and grabbed a fork and plate so the pauper could eat and handed it over.

"There you have your cake" Light stated and began to pull the pauper away. "Now tell me where you got this necklace from!" He screamed and looked over his shoulder waiting to get an answer. Instead of an answer though he saw the pauper completely lost in his own world while eating the cake. This man was really beginning to irritate him. First he speak to him without respect, Next he almost maims his wrist, and Last he forces him to buy cake. He was beginning to think that the pauper did this all on purpose.

"Light! Misa has been looking everywhere for you!" Aw shit. Light thought as he looked at the direction of the fast approaching blond girl. Misa was wearing a new bright pink dress that she obviously just bought and in her hands were a lot of bags that probably held accessories for the dress. She reached light and jump on him wrapping her arms around his neck while burring her head in the crook of his neck. "Misa was so worried! She turned around for just one second and Light was gone!" Misa stated and Light winced at the high pitch voice that sounded right next to his ear drum.

The pauper looked up from his cake and spotted the couple in front of him. It interested him how the prince could have any girl in the kingdom and he chose this one, though he had to admit she was a beauty. "Misa thought her Light had been taken away from her!" Misa continued and The pauper rolled his eyes, beautiful yes, but with no brains apparently. Light again winced and his face twisted into annoyance.

"Misa I'm fine, you can let go now" Light announced and pushed the blond girl off. Misa smiled at Light and went to hook her arm with his when she spotted the pauper standing behind Light with an empty plate in his hand. The pauper was staring at the plate intensely as if waiting for something or wishing for what ever that was previously on that plate would come back.

"Who's Light's friend?" Misa asked and Light turned around to face the pauper. He had completely forgotten about the man and the necklace he stole. The pauper looked up and smiled at Misa, which made him look stranger yet.

"I am L" The pauper responded and Light's eyes widen. He just now realized he never knew the man's name. Granted, it's not like actually wanted to know it. Misa's mouth turned into a slight "O" shaped before she clapped her hands and introduced herself. "I am pleased to meet you princess" L said and Light's mouth gaped open. Oh, he talks to her with respect but with him he has the guts to be a smart ass?

Misa smiled and took L's hand guiding him towards the carriage on the side of the Market Place. "Misa loves Light's friend!" She stated and started humming a random tune. Light's right eyed twitched as he watched the duo walk away. He held the necklace at eye level and almost threw it to a random booth. Instead though he took a deep breath and placed it on the nearest booth before following the two. This was going to be a long, long day.

Light enter the carriage and knocked on the roof signaling to the driver that he could start driving. After knocking on the roof he looked too his left at Misa who was clinging to his arm not giving any sign that she was going to let go, and L who listened to Misa's chatting glancing at their arms every once in a while. Light sighed and looked out the window. House, House, Group of people, Dog, House. Eventually, Light got bored of the endless string of houses and the mindless chattering that the blond girl was doing next to his ear.

The carriage stopped at an intersection and a group of girls giggled as they notice who was inside. This was a trigger for Misa who jumped towards the window and glared at the group. This was probably the only time Light was thankful for having Misa everywhere. She was a possessive bitch and even though she had the attention span of a goldfish she was smart enough to know when other girls were after Light and ended up driving them away.

L watched as Misa glared at the group of girls who back away slowly under her gaze. She opened her mouth and a shrill "Don't you dare look at Misa's Light!" Came out and Light visibly flinched. The pauper continued to stare as Light closed his eyes and took deep calming breath's while the blond girl screamed out the window.

At last the carriage began moving again and Misa sat down with a huge smile of her face. Clearly she had missed the actions Light had taken to calm himself before. She hugged Light's arm and snuggled onto it. Light growled very lowly and stared out the window. That castle was finally coming into view, much to his relief.

The carriage passed the gates and followed the crest shaped drive way to the front door. Light pulled his arm free from Misa and opened the door stepping out. Finally they were home, Finally he can go into his room and read, and Finally he could take a long nap-

"This is quite a big castle" L stated as he stepped out of the carriage and walked towards Light. "It does look enormous from the Kingdom, but this is impressive"

-Damn he forgot about the pauper. Light looked to his right and glared at the only person in the entire kingdom that would challenge his authority. L simply stared back at him, locking his black eye with the prince's hazel ones and keeping them there for a second to long.

"Misa is so excited to show Sayu Misa new dresses!" Misa shrill high pitched voice sounded and both Light and L flinched in surprise. Misa grabbed all the bags that she had and ran into the castle, kissing Light's cheek on the way. The prince's right eye slightly twitched before he huffed and followed the girl inside, L trailing behind him.

"You highness!" Matsuda yelled out happily and ran over to Light. His helmet still twirled around his head and his spear was still much to big for him. He tripped over his own feet about two feet away from the prince. He mumbled a small "Ow" before he stood up and smiled up at Light saluting him. "I saw Princess Misa running by carrying a large amount of bags and presumed that you had arrived."

Matsuda's big puppy dog eyes shown with happiness and his smiles was big. Both of these feature indicated that he was glad that the prince was back. Yes this meant that he had to be wary of his actions, but it also meant that he didn't have to worry about the huge amount of damage that the prince could cause if he was angered.

Matsuda glanced over the prince's shoulder and spotted L who seemed to be studying the castle walls. "If I may ask your majesty" Matsuda began still looking over Light shoulder. "Who is this man?" He asked with a slightly curios face. It was rare for the prince to have friends over, and when he did have them over they never looked so.....misplaced in a castle before.

Light turned around and faced the pauper. How is it that every person so far thought that L was his friend? He didn't look like anyone the prince would be around. Hell the man barely looked like a pack of wild dogs would want to be around him. Misa's voice sounded from across the castle along with Sayu's as they screamed excitedly, no doubt talking about the wedding.

Light sighed and remembered that Misa had taken a liking to the man in front of him and that she wouldn't be too happy if Light told Matsuda to kick him out. He looked at the man up and down before coming to a decision and turning back to Matsuda. "He's a friend" He began and Matsuda immediately stood straight and paid attention to Light's response. "I ran into him down at the Market Place and invited him to stay here a while" Light finished.

A/N: Grammar errors? Suggestions Tell me okay. Umm I'm thinking about writing longer chapters. Thing is that it might take a couple of days to type. What do you think? Should I write long chapters and update every friday? Or keep them the same length and update faster?
