Chapter Eight
Disclaimer: Nope...never...no Death Note for me.
A/N: ...you know what? I HATE IT WHEN YOU CRITICS TALK SMART ASSED! I KNOW VERY WELL WTF A MARY SUE IS SO NO NEED TO GIVE A WHOLE FUCKING LESSON ABOUT IT IN SMART TALK.
Steph: WAAAAH! (throws everything in sight)
L and Light: (peeks from the couch, wide eyed)
Steph: Phew... okay I'm good XP. This chapter is short-ish because I'm busy trying to finish off my Holiday Homework... well, not really finish, but actually START it. v.v"
Light: (whispers: Is it safe to come out now?)
L: (Whispers: I'm 2 percent sure it is...)
Light: (Whispers: good enough for me!)(jumps out) HELLO!
Steph: HYAAAARGH! (Hits Light with a fry pan)

"We break her." Mello muttered with an evil grin, "And we get what we want."

Saika was laying on the couch, playing chess with Sin. "So... the horse makes an 'L' shaped move, right?" he asked,
"Yes, Sin." sighed Sai, for the umpteenth time.
"Then does this make a check mate?" He hid a smirk as Sai's jaw dropped and stood up, pointing at the board.
"No way!" she yelled. "Beaten by a shinigami!" she groaned dramatically and mocked a faint on the couch. "Hardly believable!"
"You sound like the old fart."
"The king shinigami?" Saika huffed.
"You always lose, Sai." said L, typing so fast it rivalled lightning (...well not that fast). "You attack without thinking."
"I do come up with strategies!" Sai protested, "I just always seem to miss an opening, that's all!"
"Meaning you didn't think enough." pointed L. "That's why you never won against me."
"Do you have to rub it in?" she said with gritted teeth.
'Sai's very sensitive to losing against this bastard... doesn't he know that?' thought Sin, apprehensively floating away from Sai.
"Well I made a rule for all games; never compete against an investigator. One; because he's too smart and two; because he rubs the fact you're a sore loser in."
"I never said you were a sore--"
"You were implying it, like you always did! You promised you wouldn't start this sort of conversation anyway!"
"I never did start--"
"Really?" she snapped, "'You always lose Sai, you attack without thinking, you don't think enough, Sai that's why you never won against me' INSTEAD OF RUBBING SHIT IN, CONCENTRATE ON HOW TO KILL KIRA DAMMIT!" and with that, she jumped off the couch and stomped her way to the bed. She covered herself and fell silent.
"Stop cutting my sentences..." sighed L, under his breath so she couldn't hear.
"Imagine her mood swings when she's going through that thing that all she-humans go through." Sin sniggered. THWOMP. "HEY, THAT WAS MY WING! Shit, now I need to snap it back, dammit, do you know how much it hurts, human?" demanded Sin, glaring at Sai whom had thrown the pillow.
Ten minutes Later...
L was waving a pale hand around Sai's face. "She's asleep. That's good." he dragged his feet to the kitchen (a very big hotel room to have a kitchen in it XP), "Now to make an apology with a cake--"
"That's bad." Sin 'finished' with a twitching wing. L raised an eyebrow. "Out of all the times I've been watching you (L felt lightly revolted at this) I have never seen you made a cake so presumably you've never made a cake before." L opened his mouth and then closed it. Then he reopened it,
"It's true I never made one. I always had the maids make them... or Sai's grandmother. Does it hurt to try?"
"Yes." Sin answered unhelpfully. "What kind of cake are you going to make? Say apple and I'll write your name in my--" Sin stopped his threat, "Wait, I gave my death note to Saika."
"Exactly." L said lightly, taking out a large bowl and mixer. "I'm making chocolate mud cake..." Sin made a mental note to visit the 'old fart' later about a new Death Note. "I'm 2.7 sure it's the sugar that goes in first. Or the chocolate..." he brought a finger to his lips in deep thought.
"Actually, I think it's the mud. I'm a 100 sure."
"...umm..."
xXSL ... The Next Morning
Saika woke up, with her eyes still closed. She yawned and felt her way around the bed and as expected, L wasn't there. She then dragged herself off the bed drowsily, her eyes seeing murky white in her vision, and then slouched to the bathroom. A few minutes later she came out refreshed and saw the state of the kitchen. Everything was white. Everything.
"Ryuuzaki? Sin?" Someone sneezed.
"I never knew shinigami's sneezed."
"Well now you know."
"What the hell happened?" demanded Saika.
"L tried to make a mud cake for you. He can't make one to save his second life."
Saika stared at L and burst into laughter. "Did you two have an egg fight? L, you have egg shells all over your hair and yolk over your shirt!"
"It seems so." mumbled L, looking down at himself. "I have come to the conclusion that cake is something I'd rather not make, but eat."
"Good for you, L." Sai sighed, "Clean up the mess and I'll be back with more flour and eggs."
"I didn't exactly bring a wardrobe from the dead."
"...I'll get another outfit for you too Master. I'll come back with the outfit first though, the shop's just next door... that's two trips." she grumbled and grabbed her bag. Sin shook the flour off him, making more stick to L.
"Is there a vacuum cleaner here?" asked L airily looking around.
"The sucker with the tube?"
"..."
Later...
"She's taking a long time." muttered Ryuuzaki, on his stool with stained clothes on. He brought his thumb to his lips, "It can't be that she's--"
Saika burst in the door. "I bought everything the same!"
"Really?" Ryuuzaki asked, hiding his relief as usual.
"Yeah, as comfy as they can get. Anyway, off to the grocery store! AGAIN!" she shut the door behind her.
"Heh, so all these times he made someone else make the cakes." Saika grinned softly as she hopped down the steps. She caught the bus, and arrived at the store. She jumped off and grabbed the eggs and flour. She walked out quickly, keeping an open eye out for Yagami Light. She suddenly bumped into someone, dropping the grocery bag.
"I'm sorry." said the person she bumped into and picked up the things for her.
"It's...alright." Saika stared at the person before.
"I'm Matt." he held out his hand. She smiled before shaking it,
"I'm--" she gasped, yet it was muffled when someone placed a damp, drugged cloth on her mouth, dragging her into the darkness of the alleyway.
"Manami Saika. Pleased to meet you." murmured Matt, glancing down at the unconscious girl, flicking a cigarette bud away.
Meanwhile...
A knock on the door.
"That can't be Saika otherwise she would have burst through it." said Sin and looked down at himself, "Hey, where'd my liver go?" L ignored Sin and peeked through the door hole.
"This isn't room service." said a muffled voice. 'Indeed,' L thought before opening the door. In stepped a boy with pearly white hair, a white shirt and pants. Both clothing seemed a little big for him and he had a bag. He walked in and L closed the door, and Sin took notice of the boy's habit with playing with his hair and holding a toy plane.
"Maybe he's a girl. What kind of boy would play with his hair?"
"L?" the boy looked up at him and then walked off, sat on the floor with one knee brought to his chest and emptied the contents. Puzzles? L didn't answer but rubbed his foot against the other. "I'm Near."

Steph: Wah Saika got kidnapped! And Near's appearance to L...o.0 sorry I got carried away up there v.v"
L: Umm... I think you killed Light.
Light: x.X
Steph: He'll live.
L: He's not breathing though...
Steph: Well YOU can perform CPR then! (storms out to do homework but with a T.V. remote behind her back...)
L: (splashes a bucket of water on Light)
Light: ...x.x...
L: Hm. (ties Light up and stuffs him in a closet)
