BANG BANG BANG. BANG BANG BANG.
Light shot out of bed to see L starring at the door he pointed it.
"Okay thats it! I'm breaking down the fucking door! And I swear if you two are having sex I will kill you!" Sayu screamed from the other side of the door.
CRASH.
The door busted in to reveal Sayu. "Get up you lazy loads! Hurry we are leaving in thirty!"
"Leaving where?" mumbled a sleepy Light.
"To the zoo! And we are gonna gave so much fucking fun you wouldn't be able to wipe the fucking smile off our faces! SO GET UP!"
"You sister scares me."
...
Misa, Light, and L starred at the vehicle before them in disbelief. It was a black sports car with countless bullet holes and scars.
"What are you waiting for get in the car!" Sayu was already in the front seat smoking a fag. The three young adults loaded into the car, Misa ridding shotgun. L took the bag he was holding under his seat, he looked at Light who gave him a questioning look.
"Jam." L explained. "For later." He nodded in response before turning to his sister.
"Um Sayu? Just wondering... WHY DOES YOU CAR LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN THROUGH A WAR!? You could die!" Light shouted worry writen all over his face.
"Oh I don't know, why are you Kira big brother?" Sayu smiling at her brother, her smile made her look slightly crazy and like she wanted to kill you. Light grumbled in the back seat as L chuckled softly, well until Light shot him such a look that he saw how him and Sayu were related.
...
The car swung into a parking space in front the zoo. The rest of the car ride had seemed to be a unspoken silent treatment between the siblings, they really were quite childish. All but the detective got out the car quickly, all slightly shaken by Sayu's driving. L was not sure what to think, he had never been to a zoo before. When he was a child he did remember some books about them, but that's about it. He cautiously got out of the car, following after his friends. Light turned around to see the even head bitching his lip nervously, eyes cast to the ground.
L felt a warm hand wrap around his own, stroking it gently. "Why are you nervous? Don't deny it! I can see it in your eyes." he said smiling. "Is it about going to visit your old friend later?"
"No it is not Beyond, although that too. But it's just I have never been a zoo before. I don't like the idea of wild animals trampling me..."
"The animals are in enclosed habitats you know... They cannot trample you. We will have to give you an amazing experience!" Light tightened his grip and pulled L behind the girls.
L removed his hand from the other mans grasp. "You know your girlfriend is in front of you, and your holding my hand." He whispered in Lights ear.
"We need to talk about that later. But right now let's have some fun!" They all walked into the amazing zoo.
L looked around he could see several habitats from where he was, including giraffes, and prairie molerats. They all looked so closed up, with no where to be free. He was starting to not like zoo's, just by a glance. Light was right that they couldn't trample him, they were caged up in habitats. Sure these were well groomed and taken care of animals, but they aren't meant for cages. They are meant to be free, to go as they please. Like humans. We go can go anyone we want, we don't cage people up, unless your in prison. Yes, L decided this must be a prison for these poor animals, but they hadn't done anything wrong. Deep in thought L hadn't realized Light was dragging him up to the giraffes.
"Thats one fucking tall neck you got there buddy." Sayu told the giraffe.
"Sayu! There are children around! Watch your language!" Light scolded her.
As the two siblings went into another bickering match, L studied the animal before him. It was so beautiful, with it's tall proud neck, and it's bold pattern covering it's body. Seeing the giraffes head so high in the sky made him want to be there too. To see the world from a whole different view. L felt a light tapping on his shoulder, he turned his head right to see Misa.
"Such beautiful creatures. I hate seeing them here, they should be in the wild." Misa said as L nodded in agreement, slightly shocked that Misa could hold a intelligent conversation. "Hey Ryuzaki?"
L gave the girl his full attention. "Yes, Misa-Amane?"
"No need to be so formal you know. Anyway Misa wanted to talk to you about Light." Her face stayed the same, L's eyes bulged slightly. "Don't worry I am not gonna turn to rage or something, after all I was the one that set you two up."
"You had Watari lock us up and the coffee shop?" L starred in shock, Misa's actress skills were better than he thought.
Misa laughed. "All by yours truly. And today too! Sayu and I will leave two be in a couple minutes so you can have a date. With the Kira case you don't have time so I set it up. Anyway to the point. Obviously I want you two together, but there are some conditions. Well a condition I suppose. Break Light's heart and I will kill you with my bare hands, no Death Note needed. If he breaks your heart I'll kill him. Got it?"
Light listened in carefully to the pair talk. Listening in was a relief till the last part. You just don't mess with a crazy chick with a notebook that kills. He looked at Sayu who was listening to, she met his gaze and smirked.
"Well it's a good thing neither of us will die, because no ones breaking anyones heart." Light stepped up behind Misa and L and pulled them both into a half hug. "So Misa you sure your okay with this?" He gestured to L and himself.
"YES! For the last time yes! Now could you let us go, people are starring! And if they recognize – "
"OH MY GOD! IT'S MISA- MISA!" Some young girl screamed, everyone turned to see them.
Sayu leaned in they could hear her. "Run."
The four of them took of running down a random path. But the group of teens was coming from two directions.
"You three go and have fun, I will sign autographs." Misa yelled over the noise.
"You can't!"
"Shut the fuck up Light, I will stay with her and be her body guard now go!"
L grabbed Light's hand and pulled him into the crowd of Misa-Amane fans. Pulling each other though the mob of people until they got out the crowd. They could still hear the cheers for Misa when they stopped running. In front of them read a sign saying 'Panda Exhibit' with an arrow pointing left. Light tugged L onto the trail. The trail was lined in a breath-taking bamboo garden. The pair looked around in awe at the sight, L slowly reached the hand not holding Light's and brushed the plant with his index finger. They kept walking until the end of the path where a huge exhibit was, with a baby panda starring at them through glass. It was so yound and sweet looking. Fluffy and gentle. Light chuckled.
"Whats so funny?" L asked cocking his head to the side.
"It's just the panda reminds me of you!" Light said smiling. "Maybe not quite as cute though.." He went to kiss him when he saw a tear stream down the mans face. "Did I say something wrong!? What's wrong?"
L just shock his head. "No. Nothing wrong."
"L! You have to start speaking your feelings! You dont have to anyone but me, but you need to." The pair sat down in front of the panda. "Please darling." Light said wiping L's tears away, it was weird seeing the great L cry. He showed no emotion on his face, just tears fell silently.
L pointed a shaking pointer finger at the baby panda.
"It's baby Beyond... thats little baby B" L plastered both hands to the glass starring at the creature. "It's all my fault. Everything is my fault Light!"
"That is not true Lawliet! You didn't make him a killer." Light said pulling his love into his lap, stroking his hair.
"Oh but is! It is. I was four years older then him and A. I wasn't ready to have successors! Hell I wasn't ready to be L, the worlds greatest detective! Its all my fault.
"I never liked A much, he just was so social I guess I could say. ! Better than me... and he stole my only friend away! I would help Beyond with homework and have him help me with cases. But never did anything with A, never paid him any attention so he snapped from being number one and killed himself. Because of ME! Because I was the best in his eyes and wanted to reach my level. Soon after that Beyond left blaiming me, which he should, then he became B.B. the serial killer. Just trying to prove he could beat me. When we caught him I could have helped him, got him out of there! Anything! But no, I was a stuck up prick who couldn't understand that I lost my only friend because I was afraid to stand up for him. Afraid of losing being L. I regretted it when I realized what I had done. When I came here to solve the Kira case I got up the courage to visit him, since his prison is here... today is Beyond Birthday's twentieth birthday. Well we don't know his real date of birth, at Wammy's if we don't know your true birth date the day you arrive becomes your 'birthday'. Today is our birthday..."
Light soaked in everything that was said, all he personally could think is this is A's fault. If he hadn't been so weak... but no he shouldn't judge the kid. His eyes snapped down at L.
"Wait todays your birthday!?" Light asked.
"Well yes... but there is no need to fuss over it..." He blushed slightly from the attention.
"Of course it a big deal! How old are you now? And what do you want? I have to go buy you something! You should have told me!" The younger man whined like a child not getting their way.
L chuckled slightly. "Twenty-four years today, and you do NOT need to get me something! I don't want anything." L moved in Lights lap to where he was straddling him, putting his arms around the boys next. "But we could go get cake... If you want."
It was Lights turn to laugh at his detective. "As you wish my love." He breathed into his ear, then nibbled at his earlobe. L shivered in pleasure, starring a hard stare at the man.
For a moment, Light thought maybe he was angry, but before he could ponder it further, L yanked him to him and covered his mouth with his in a hungry kiss. He responded immediately, surprising himself. His mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips so soft. He tasted tentatively with his tongue, and Light opened his mouth with a low moan.
"Um excuse me Mr. and Mr.?" A young voice came from behind them, the couple slowly detached and turned to see a little girl. She's around four and half feet tall, maybe seven years of age. Her hair in two flaming red braids. Her face is pale, shy, and young. Her eyes emerald green, sparkling in the lighting. She's dressed in a pink dress,with a square neckline, her white MaryJanes going perfect with the dress. She seemed like a perfect little girl.
She saw the panic in their faces. "Don't worry I have two daddies too!" She said giving a toothy smile. "I won't judge!"
"Where are your parents?" L asked in a non-caring way.
"Where are your daddies?" Light asked beckoning her toward the two, now standing, men.
The girl looked between the couple. "I cannot read lips that fast. Oh and my name is Sheri."
"Sheri, why do you have to read lips?" Light asked sweetly holding out his hand to hers. Sheri looked up at him and smiles taking his hand.
"She is deaf, is it not obvious? I thought you would have caught on to it Light."
"I am being polite, so shut up."
"Yes, I cannot hear, but I can lip read very well, just not always so fast" Sheri explained looking up at the grown ups.
"Do you need help or something?" Light asked Asher kneeled down so he was at her level.
"Well yes, you see I saw you when walked into the zoo with Misa-Misa... " Her cheeks turned red. "So I followed you in hopes to meet her. She is my idol! Misa's just so pretty and nice! She always says how everyone is beautiful in their own way, you just have to find what that way is. She makes me feel pretty even though I'm deaf and adopted."
L and Light looked at one another. They never knew Misa was this big of an influence. This little girl looked up to the blonde. While the boys just thought of her as the annoying slut, she really was a role model. I kinda of made them feel badly on paying attention to Misa's life. Well they could get Misa and Sayu out the mob of people and make this little girls day. L nodded to Light.
"Okay Sheri, we have a surprise for you! We are going to go eat lunch with Misa-Misa right now and you should come with us, then we will go find your fathers. Sound good?" Light asked smiling gently, L was already dialing his phone.
"Hello Miss. Yagami... err sorry Sayu... yeah.. okay... thats kinda of mean..." L held the phone with two fingers talking monotone to Light's sister.
"Tell her to meet us at that bakery in the front."
L's eyes light up. "Just meet us at the bakery... yeah yeah bye." L hung up the phone. "I didn't know there was a bakery!"
"What was the lady saying Mr. Man?" Sheri asked L as she tugged on his shirt, with the hand that wasn't holding onto Light.
L's eyes widened, he was not use to children or people touching him, unless they were Wammy kids. "She was saying that she would meet us at the bakery... and some naughty words that I am not aloud to say or Watari will be angry with me."
"Will you get a spanking?" Sheri giggle at the funny man who looked like a panda.
"Yes a big spanking for being a bad boy." L laughed softly. "Now lets go get some cake! And you get to meet Misa-Misa."
Light picked the girl up and placed her his back, they both laughing as he swung around pretending to almost drop her. L smiled, in truth he had a soft spot for kids. Maybe he wasn't the best with them but he still liked them none the less. And he diffidently had a huge soft spot for Light, his Light. He smiled at cute he was playing with the girl. Who knew Kira was good with kids? He reminded L of a mother, yeah Light was diffidently the mom in this relationship. L chuckled to himself, he knew never to say that aloud through, if he wanted to live.
"Come on Ryuzaki! Hurry up if you want some birthday cake!" Light and Sheri were already heading back down the bamboo trail. L turned and looked at the baby panda one last time, then quickly caught up with the pair. "See Sheri I told you all I had to do was mention cake."
"Goodbye baby Beyond..." He whispered to himself.
...
Sayu was about to die, well no she was about to make everyone around her die. This was too much! All these people have already talked to Misa and gotten their picture taken so why don't they go away. Well Sayu was about to make them go away forever if they didn't shut up. What she really needed was a mission, a good old assassin mission. Where she could get a little dirty, thats what she needed. Right now she just needed to get herself and Misa to that damn bakery.
"Alright everyone! CLEAR OUT! As Misa's manager and body guard you need to clear away at once! She has somewhere to be, so please kindly let us through. Thank you." That was said a lot nicer than she wanted but she had to act all nice and shit. Well the nice shit worked because the crowd dispersed leaving Sayu and Misa. "Well I didn't think it would be that easy... now lets go." Sayu began walking toward the entrance.
"Wait where are we going? We aren't leaving are we?" Misa whined behind Sayu. "Sayu? Are you listening Sayu?"
...
Light still had Sheri on his back as they walked in the bakery. L walked carefully behind them looking over his shoulder. He noticed a figure was following them a while back, and hadn't stopped yet. The person looked young, around his and Light's age. The person wore a black hoody covering their face, so genders undetermined. He couldn't tell much more from the glimpses he got.
They sat down in a booth, L sat on the end with Sheri in between Light and him. They left the other side empty for the girls who had yet to arrive. L looked around for the stalker and sure enough there they were sitting a couple tables away.
"Light" L said calmly. "We have a code stalker."
