Summery: Mina walks in on one of L's secret meetings! Oops…

Chapter 7

It seemed almost a month of practical games and tricks that Mina had tired her self out. There was really no way out of this place. But she was convinced enough that possibly these guys were on her side. L had given her some slack, but she still wasn't allowed to go outside, and the communication room was off limits during the afternoon, and sometimes in the morning. Mina had wanted to ask Watari about her mother, but she hadn't seen him around lately, and when she did, she was too afraid to ask.

She was seriously pathetic, and spent most of her time watching TV. Even L had told her so himself, but she hadn't see him around much either, only those black suited guards that hung around the meeting room in the morning. Mina had actually befriended a couple of them, although she wasn't too sure of his name, Mogi? Maybe not, but he was very nice to her, and so was that Matsuda guy. They regularly came down to see how she was doing in the afternoon, and she was grateful, because she had nothing else better to do, and no one else to talk to.

"What are you doing here, anyway?" She had asked them not too long ago. Mogi laughed.

"I'm afraid we can't tell you…" he said. Matsuda made a grim face and shook his head apologetically to her. Mina guessed she kind of understood, obviously L told them not to tell her anything, which really pissed her off. But she still had no idea who L was, and why he was really helping her. That is, if he washelping her, she couldn't be quite sure.

Mina, bored, turned off the TV. It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and she was craving some coffee, only really because of the endless Coffee Club advertisements they had on Fashion TV. It was making her hungry! And she yearned for the smell of coffee beans to fill her nostrils. She was positive she had seen a coffee machine up in the communication/meeting room (whatever the hell it was called) and she made her way up the lift. She needed coffee damn it! And there was no way in hell she was going to let anyone, not even L, stop her! Mina marvelled at her new found spirit and determination, especially after all those failed attempts to bend L to her will. But she was glad that her actions weren't completely in vain, considering L had gotten so sick of her trying to escape he let her off a bit, but she still wasn't aloud outside. But it was better than nothing.

Mina stormed out of the lift and headed towards the communication room, the doors automatically opened for her and she spotted the coffee machine in the corner, she squealed with joy and skipped over to it, unaware that a roomful of eyes were watching her, especially a pair of very annoyed and angry ones. Once the milk had finished pouring itself out into the contents of her mug, she smiled to herself and inhaled the scent, sighing at the sudden rush of euphoria that consumed her that moment. The moment didn't last long, but it was only then did she realise the entire room was staring at her. L seemed to be overflowing with embarrassment, his hand hiding most of his face.

Oops. Obviously another one of those secret meetings…uhm, my bad!

She decided the best thing she could do was smile goofily, and wave at all the suited men. But then her eyes came upon someone else, sitting next to L with a laptop sitting in his lap. A light brown haired boy with stunning features, watching her with interested eyes. She definitely hadn't seen him around here before…

He turned back to face L.

"And who is this?" L seemed to have regained his composure; instead of brooding into his hands he seemed more content.

"Her? Oh, She's just the cleaning lady…" he replied. Mina felt her cheeks burning up, red and hot.

C-C-CLEANING LADY?!??!?!?!?!?!

"What's her name?" L paused at the question.

"Mina…" L hopped of his chair and walked over to her, his shoulders a slump and his right hand holding a packet of chips. He grabbed hold of her arm with his spare hand and dragged her over to the table. "Mina, come say hello to the boys"

"H-hello…" she stuttered, trying hard not to punch L with her free hand. She was still mad at him for introducing her as the cleaning lady. How infuriating! They'll probably get the wrong idea and force her to start washing their underwear!

"Mina this is Light, I assume you know or recognise the rest…"

"Yeah, hey Mogi, hey Matsuda!" she waved. L rolled his eyes, and tightened his grip on her wrist, she squeaked a little in pain as he dragged her out into the hall way.

"H-hey! What was that for?!"

"What the hell were you doing?" he said, with a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice.

"I wanted some coffee…" she pouted.

"Didn't I tell you that the room was off limits?"

"Ah-ah!" Mina shook her finger at him. "You said it was off limits only in the evening and sometimes in the morning!" she said in a matter-of-factly. L rolled his eyes.

"Sure, whatever…" he said, ruffling out his hair once again, a habit Mina disliked greatly.

"Stop doing that! You're making it worse!" she reached her hands up, flattening the bits that were poking out randomly.

"It's my hair, I can do what I want to it…"

"Gosh, what an attitude! What about your posture! It's atrocious! Not to mention all those sweets you devour!" L grumbled something incoherent towards her, and slapped her hands away from his hair.

"Go back to your chamber's princess."

"So I guess that's my new nickname now, eh?"

"Yes. Get used to it." He was about to turn and head back into the communication room but Mina had stopped him with another question.

"So who's that Light guy? I've never see him around here before…"

"Some guy."

"Ha! Sure." Mina chuckled, crossing her arms, indicating that she was being serious.

"Why do you want to know?" L huffed.

"Because he's hot!"

"Yeh. Sure. Whatever…"

"Like seriously, who is he? Actually! More importantly, who are you?"

"Me? I'm L. What a ridiculous question." he replied. Mina groaned in annoyance, obviously not ready to put up with an annoying brat like L.

"I will find out who you are L!"

"That's nice." He said before turning back. The doors opened and Mogi came out into the hallway, obviously over hearing the little dispute. Mina and Mogi both watched L head back into the room.

"OoooO!!! He makes me so angry!" Mogi chuckled at this.

"Come on, I'll escort you back to your room…" He held onto her arm as he slowly walked her to the lift.

"I just wanna throw my coffee all over him!!!"

"Well, that wouldn't be a very lady like thing to do, would it?"

"Ghhrrr…" Mina grumbled, her anger still not residing. Mogi continued to calm her down, but that only made Mina even angrier, she didn't even know who the hell Mogi was either! She was beginning to loose all sense of right and wrong, and all she could think about was seriously axing L to death. She managed to free herself from Mogi's clutch, and stormed back towards the communication room, her coffee spilling slightly at the edges. Mogi ran after her screaming.

"W-wait!" But Mina didn't stop. The doors opened automatically once again, and all eyes were on her. L, sitting on his chair, gobbling down a couple of jelly marshmallows, stopped eating. Light, only just noticing everyone was being distracted, turned his chair around to find Mina standing next to him, facing L. She seemed to be smiling. But L just looked at her in warning. Obviously knowing she was about to do something irrational. And irrational she was! Mina's smile dropped and with the flick of her wrist, L found himself drenched in coffee. Everyone jumped in fright as she slammed the mug down onto the glass table and stormed out. The only one who found this scene amusing was Light, who was laughing hysterically at L. Who was just sitting there, his eyes closed, trying to force down the urge to run after her and chop her up into little bits.

"Need some help cleaning up?" Light coughed a couple of times. L opened his eyes, frowning.

"No." he said simply, licking his lips. He cringed at the taste. Light coughed again, trying to force down his laughter. "She's the cleaning lady, she can clean it up." He said as he hopped out of his chair and walked out of the room.

"That's one hell of a woman he's got, right Matsuda?" Light chuckled, turning to face Matsuda next to him. Matsuda just scratched his head in confusion.

A/N: L got coffee'd! Har-har.
