Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or the thirteenth volume, How to Read. Nor do I own Spongebob Squarepants, although that has nothing to do with this fic. Have you ever noticed that Spongebob and Light wear the same outfit? Compare some pictures. It's freaky. As a Light fangirl, this fact all but gave me a nervous breakdown. Saving grace: Spongebob wears short khakis and Light wears long. Phew.
Characters: L
Genre: Humor
Note: This won't make sense unless you've read or at least skimmed Death Note 13: How to Read. :)
L stared in horror at the black book in his hand, the number 13 emblazoned in white numbers on its spine.
"How to Read" he pronounced easily in English. Okay, fine, but why did it have a picture of him on it?!
He opened it up.
"Name card?"
His eyes shot wide open when he found his real name written right there on a little card.
With amazing speed, L crammed the card back into the book and flipped a bunch of pages.
"Watari?" he yelped. Sure enough, a photo, the real name, and all the stats of his friend were right there, laid out, asking Kira to kill him. "Near? Mello? Matt?? Roger??"
All had their real names, right next to a picture, as blatant as could be.
He gaped for a moment more, trying to imagine who could have done this, before whipping the book into the fireplace. He watched as the pages crinkled, blackened, and crumbled, satisfied.
There.
It was a very, very good thing that he had gotten hold of it before Kira had.
There probably wouldn't be any copies of a book like that.
Crisis averted.
