I'm glad that you all enjoyed my slaughter of Misa Misa, please keep reading here's a really long one for you enjoy. REVIEW

L woke up to something warm and fluffy tickling his nose. It was the panda kitten, curled up all cute and stuff on his pillow. Something else was different about this wake up as well, the house smelt of yummy things. If he remembered correctly, it was bacon and was that a little bit of egg? Potato?

Whatever it was, L was going to find out and perhaps consume some of the wonderful aroma.

Ratio felt entirely too guilty this morning, staring at his ceiling with his eyes slightly pounding and his body sore. The damsel from last night turns on his arm and he gives her a look. Her bed-ruffled golden hair was carelessly shoved out of her soft face with a sleepy hand. He softly pushes the rest of her hair out of her face and her soft green eyes flutter open.

With a big stretch and a moan of a yawn she gives him a big smile and curls up under his arm, "good morning sexy."

"'Morning," he replies lazily. What was making him feel like this? Something wasn't right, usually when he woke with a gorgeous woman next to him it's a big smile and a feeling of satisfaction that he can still get someone better than Misa Misa. But this morning he wanted to tell her to leave, to come up with some kind of lie that would make her get up, dressed and out…was this because of Ryuzaki? As if letting someone stay has ever stopped him from enjoying himself before. Whatever this feeling was, he was going to ride it off with food and call it good.

"I hate to be like this, but I have a photo op in an hour, and I kinda need to go home and get ready, you know how that goes," as if she was reading his mind, she gave him a good long kiss then pulled her slender self from under the covers and set about retrieving clothes.

"Please, don't feel bad, especially after last night," he gives her a wink, his guilt slightly relieved at her retreat.

With a giggle she blushes, "you are so bad Yagami Ratio."

"Thought I was good?"

Another giggle, "stop it you."

Ratio gives a smirk and pulls himself up out of bed after her, throwing on some pants and following her out the bedroom door. As he walks her to the front door, he notices that Ryuzaki's door is still closed and the house was just as quiet as any other morning in his big house.

With another kiss good-bye the blonde is gone and Ratio is left leaning against his oak door rubbing his temples and still feeling guilty. If this was because of Ryuzaki then he would have to do something nice for him to make up for this. With a slight pound of the head and a brilliant idea, breakfast pops into his head. Of course! He could make him breakfast. Ryuzaki's affair with food should make up for Ratio's affair last night.

Heading to the kitchen he runs into Watari eating a bowl of cereal. "Are we out of Coco Pebbles?"

"You know, I went and got some this morning, but I will have to say that this cereal I got for Ryuzaki is quite good," he says after swallowing a bite full and handing Ratio the box.

"Chocolate Cheerios huh?" setting the box on the counter he turns to the fridge.

"You are up quite early this morning, what's the occasion?"

With a snort Ratio starts pulling breakfast fix in's out, "If there was an occasion, then maybe I wouldn't feel so guilty."

"Guilty? Ratio feels guilty?"

A wave of the hand, "yeah, yeah I know. I don't understand it. Someone staying in the house when I brought someone home has never bugged me before."

"I don't know what to tell you Ratio, but it seems that you helping Ryuzaki is more important to you that you think it is. It's the only thing I can think of."

Ratio lets out a huff of air and slices open the bacon package, then realized that he didn't have anything to cook said bacon on.

"Are you cooking?"

With another huff he pulls out the skillet, "it was the first thing that came to mind this morning."

"That you wanted to make breakfast?" Watari gives a chuckle, "but Ratio, you can't cook to save your life."

"Well, let's hope my life isn't on the line this morning then, huh?" Ratio waits for the pan to heat and then starts laying out lines of bacon. "We have potatoes right?"

"In the not-can pantry, to the left on the bottom. But what are you going to do with them?'

"I've watched you cook enough to get a general idea."

"Is that why you burned the bacon you just put on?"

With a moan ratio rushes to the stove and turns the heat off. Perhaps it didn't need to be all the way up. "Fine, fine," he huffs dropping the pan onto a different burner. "Will you make breakfast, please?"

Watari gives another chuckle and places his cereal bowl in the sink. "How about this, I will help you make breakfast, so if by some chance I'm not here, you can at least live off eggs and bacon."

A little sigh from Ratio and he plops onto a stool, "thank you Watari."

When L walked into the kitchen, with kitten in hand, Ratio and Watari were gathered around the stove. There was a pile of potatoes and a pile of bacon on the island spewing out delicious smells.

"Ok, now you see how the white is kind of bubbling now? That's when you flip it over," a moment of silence, then a chuckle from Watari, "put it flat on the pan and slide under there quickly as you can, then flip."

"Damn, broke the yoke," Ratio mutters.

"When that happens I just scrabble them like this."

With a hum of interest Ratio nods his head, "so that's the secret." Watari chuckles.

L just stood there watching, this was obviously not something that the two of them do very often, but the look on Watari's face told L that it was one of his favorite moments in the making. Ratio took in everything he said and learned quickly to flip an egg with anti-yoke breaking precision.

Sliding out the backdoor allowing Ratio to finish breakfast, L sets the little kitten down in the grass. "What do you think little panda? Should we stay in this pampered mansion with the too slick Yagami Ratio and his 'hot babe' entertainment, or should we skip town and start new like we planned too before all this…..dream life started?"

The kitten gave out a little meow and pounced a little grass bug who dared to rise to the outside world. L didn't know what to do, of course he wanted to stay here in this life, who in their right mind wouldn't? But the point was that this man just picked him up off the street and now it's like they have been lifelong roommates and L doesn't have to do anything to get anything anymore. What could he do for Ratio anyway? The man has just about everything. His deeper adventures into the house yesterday showed him a huge game room in the basement and a pool in the backyard.

If the panda kitten was a dog, she'd love the open area. His yard had to be at least two or three acres, pool at the far right corner lined in a beautiful stone feature complete with waterfall. L wondered how long this house took to build. Sure it wasn't really big on the outside, but boy did Ratio know how to dress up something simple and make it elegant.

Scooping up the kitten, L takes off back into the kitchen where Ratio was setting the table and Watari was dishing out plates.

"Ryuzaki?" Ratio looked up from laying out forks, "I didn't see you sneak out, good morning," he presents him with a wide smile and pulls out the nearest chair.

"No, you wouldn't, egg flipping seems to be a very attention grabbing thing," he drops the kitten on the floor and steps up onto the chair and crouching into his favorite sitting position, knees tucked close to his chest.

Ratio let out a musical laugh, turning to grab food loaded plates off the island. He couldn't let L see the streak of pink that flashed on his cheeks. "You wouldn't believe how much skill goes into flipping something so delicate."

L gave out his own laugh, and smiled wide at Ratio's reaction.

"Anyway, I have never made breakfast before, so if it tastes like garbage that's why."

"I doubt anything you set your mind too could come out like garbage, Ratio," L didn't look up from stabbing egg and potato onto his fork.

Another blush swept across Ratio's cheeks. Watari chuckles from his plate.

"Your breakfast is very good Ratio, sit down and have some," L pushes the seat next to him out with his foot, continuing to wolf down his food. Ratio's instant reactions allowed L to read him like an open book. Which in many ways shocked L, seeing as everyone else sure was convinced that Yagami Ratio was not the person he tries so desperately to cover up. This whole 'learn how to make breakfast thing' was not something that happened before. This happened because Ratio wanted to make breakfast for him. Presumably because he felt guilty for last night. Another puzzle because Ratio doesn't seem like the kind of person who would care.

L had to have a mental shake of his head and take another bite of bacon. These were useless things to think about, what did it matter? All this mason, fancy living, people making breakfast for him, it was just odd, it must be what's making his mind so scattered.

"Who is this?" L was fully broken from his thoughts now. He looks up from his breakfast and sees the little panda kitten hanging from Ratio's hands.

"He was a part of your delivery yesterday morning," Watari says immediately. "Ryuzaki has been keeping him company. I assume this is a Misa Misa add on?"

"How could you tell?" Ratio rolls his eyes and looks into the little panda kittens eyes. It was Ryuzaki in kitten form. It kinda creeped him out a little and he set the kitten back down on the floor. "You are welcome to keep the kitten, Ryuzaki, he would go to the pound in my hands," Ratio turned back to his eggs.

"Not a cat fan Ratio?" L offers the little kitten a piece of egg.

"It's not the cat part, it's the Misa Misa part," Ratio sighs, if only he could get rid of that thing he would be happy with his life, but she is always, always there.

"Oh I see, who is Misa Misa?" L asks cautiously.

"There is only one word for Misa Misa-" A musical chiming rings across the house cutting him off. Ratio and Watari exchange looks and Watari stands and heads to the door.

Had Watari reached the kitchen door he would have been plowed over by a rush of black and pink and blonde pigtails. The kitchen table is brutally bombarded by this thing that had glued itself to Ratios lap, and L's breakfast now sits across the table and he can now only pay attention to the mess across the table. A blonde female thing dressed in a pour rendition of gothic clothing was pressing sloppy pink prints all over Ratio's more-than-slightly irritated face.

"Enough Misa Misa," Ratio says firmly.

She throws her arms around his neck with a pout and leans back whining, "oh my Light, I missed you last night, I didn't see you leave, what happened?"

"I left with Stephany," he tells her simply.

She looked shell-shocked at this news, "you promised me that you wouldn't see anyone else-"

Ratio cuts her off, "no Misa Misa you said that and made yourself think I did. I'm not going to be with you and that's that."

"But Light-"

"We have been through this. Now you need to get off my lap so I can try to scavenge the breakfast that you so rudely interrupted."

Misa Misa now turns to the table and looks at the carnage, then straight up to L. L gives a little smile and says, "hi there."

This is what made Misa Misa get up, she walks over and bends down in front of him, looking him straight in the eyes. But L made the one mistake of being a male and noticing that she has a rack that he wouldn't mind shoving his face into. "Who is this pervert?" she says standing straight up and turning to Ratio.

"This is Ryuzaki and he is my new roommate."

Mistake number two was not minding that she turned around. The kitten gave a little meow from the floor. L picks him up setting him on his knees, "what do you think Panda? Me-ow or what?" he asks lowly.

"What was that perv?" Misa Misa rounds on him.

"Just enjoying the scenery," L shrugs.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she squeals. Ratio busts out laughing across the table.

"In American it means 'Yeah, I'd tap that.'"

Misa Misa flushed pink "you shouldn't be taking to me like that! I'm a lady you know."

"I'm afraid a 'lady of the night' doesn't really count as a lady," he presses his thumb to his lips, holding a smile from ruining the fun.

"How dare you!" Misa Misa gives a stomp of her overpriced black platform shoe.

L knocks his fork off the table, "oops, mind getting that for me? I wanna see if those legs go all the way up."

Now Misa Misa is bright red and Ratio is dying on the other side of the table. His forehead resting on his forearm and his other hand clapping the table. "You are the rudest person I've ever met, what kind of pervs are you hanging out with Light? I'm out of here." She turns on her heal and with her nose up storms out of the kitchen.

"Great," Ratio gasps between laughs. "Just great."

L felt really proud in that moment. His form of flattery was a fifty/fifty on women, it worked or it didn't. He was thankful he was right about Misa Misa not liking it. He was even more thankful that Ratio was enjoying the moment he utterly embarrassed Misa Misa.

"I assume that was Misa Misa?" L asks retrieving his breakfast from across the table and offering Panda some more eggs.

Ratio takes a deep breath and manages to stop laughing, starting with, "I have never seen someone do that to her, and it was epic." He lets out another giggle, mutters 'enjoy the scenery' and look up him wiping his eyes. "Thank you, by the way, for getting rid of her."

L shrugs, "no big deal, she's interesting."

"Oh yeah, you think so?"

"Keeper for sure."

There is a pause when they look each other and start busting out laughing. Watari comes walking into the room. "Gone so soon? Good I was hoping I would miss her."

"Where did you go?" Ratio asks him.

"I had a sudden need of the restroom." Ratio gave him a lifted eyebrow and retrieved his own plate, resuming his feast.

L was downed to see Ratio leave this morning after breakfast, but he felt good as he finished planting flowers for the old lady down the street who offered him lunch and the strawberry cake that lured him to her house in the first place.

He was going to take the cake home for dessert tonight the old lady, Samantha, said she wanted to 'decorate the cake something pretty' for him. He could see her at the kitchen counter as he wiped sweat from his brow with his sleeve. He was not much fond of being this dirty ever, but it was nothing to dig little holes and plop flowers into them for a delicious roast beef sandwich and that heavenly smelling cake. And his new shoes from the little shop a few blocks away were a nice addition seeing as his previous shoes went missing after his attack in the alleyway.

He rubbed his side. One thing he would not let Ratio see was the damage done to his body in the attack. Sure he could see a couple bruise on his arms and a thing cut on his cheek, but damage was almost unbearable to look at. Last night, upon inspection in front of the mirror, L found that the whip he felt was really a whip and it left a side-to-side inch thick welt from left hip to lower right ribcage. His right ribcage from there up was badly bruised and very tender to the touch. A yellowing funky shaped bruise took up his left peck and another purpling one covered his right hip. His legs were covered in various bruises most of which were on the insides of his legs.

To be honest with himself, he was more than glad that the whip and whatever else knocked him unconscious, because from the looks of it, they had all kinds of fun with him. It was nothing he couldn't have done without, that's for sure.

"Oh, Ryuzaki the garden looks wonderful!" Samantha has step up next him as he stood looking over his look and clapping his hands clean of dirt.

"Thank you, I enjoyed doing it for you," L gave her a big warm smile.

She beamed brighter and handed him a wet rag. "For your hands and face dear, can't have you walking home looking like a mole."

L gratefully took it and wiped his arms, hands and face clean, folding it neatly back up and hand it back. Samantha then replace the rag with a white box. "Here you are my dear, I hope you enjoy that as much as I did making it for you."

L only smiles back and says, "I bet I will enjoy it twice as much, it has been ages since I have has a homemade cake. And this one called to me from several blocks down."

She gave a giggle and a nod, "ok, but don't eat it all in one go, not good for the soul all that sin." She gave him another big smile and shooed him off, "now go on youngster and enjoy the rest of your evening." L gave her a bow and turned away looking down at the white box most of the way home.

He was only one home this time around, Watari's car was gone for the day and Ratio's car had not shown up yet. Only the Panda kitten came to greet him when he came in the door with the white box in hand. He was glad though, it gave him a chance to rummage the kitchen for something to display the cake he hadn't seen yet in the white box on the island.

After no avail, he stood in the middle of the kitchen defeated….and then the Panda kitten meowed from the counter. "Oh, Panda, you can't be on the counter, that is no place for a kitten," he tell her placing her back on the floor and standing with a sigh. Then he saw it, right in front of his face, currently displaying some cookies. A raised glass platter with a glass cover, perfect to keep his cake under and fresh until dessert tonight. And now it was time to crack open that box!

Slowly, and leaning to be directly over the box, L slowly pulls the box open and in meet with a beautiful flowers with a strawberries as the middles. These flowers were all over the cake he noticed as he slide the cake from the box on the glass platter he just cleared of cookies. He was proud of his earning as he placed the glass over the beautiful strawberry cake.

Now it was time to make dinner, it was already after six and if Ratio said he was return home before eight. Which as a side note, made L wonder because yesterday he just left without telling him anything but not to destroy his fancy house. And he still hasn't gotten an explanation for the strange delivery. In fact he didn't see anything from that table since he saw that lady set it up and leave without a trace.

L shut the fridge realizing that he didn't really know how to cook, let alone a fancy dinner to impress Ratio for letting him stay here and making him breakfast….Oh! be he could make a salad, and some soup, those were simple things had he has made soup over a fire, it came out decent. Hmm, soup and salad, that would be like Italian right? L shrugged his shoulders to himself and sighed, but an idea formed in his head. After only a moment of letting his mind fly he had the perfect idea for dinner.
