Chocolate Popcorn chap10
OMG!!!! CHOCOLATE POPCORN'S 10th ANAVERSARY! …..ok 10th chapter but same diff….and I think in mighta been a year since I started this….oh well….ENJOY!
On the large black leather couch, in the back of Kisuke's shop, laying across said couch and store owner was Maems. Laying on the couch using Kisuke's lap as a pillow, thinking some very pervy thoughts. Dano on the other hand was sitting on one of Kisuke's black leather lazy-boy reclining chairs. And Kisuke, the human pillow, was enjoying himself as well. He pulled his fingers through Maems hair as she lay over his lap and watched the movie he had put on. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Because Maems made him put it on.
"Hey Kisuke," Dano said tossing her now empty blizzard cub in the garbage across the room. "how'd you pay for all this?"
Kisuke chuckled and looked around his back room. On the walls movies, mangas, books, and other collectable things were stacked on shelves, except for the wall that was occupied by a large flat screen tv.
"I have my ways." Kisuke answered shrewdly.
Maems giggled and stared up at Kisuke.
"FLIRT!" Dano yelled and pointed accusingly at her taichou.
Maems sat up and pointed straight back at her fuku-taichou, with the same glare on her face. "GRR!!!"
Kisuke laughed so hard he fell off his couch. He rolled around on his back like a fish out of water laughing his ass off. Maems glared at Dano as she stared to laugh too. But it really was funny and Maems soon joined in. Just as Kisuke climbed back onto the couch the bell that had been placed above the door dinged. Kisuke stood and walked back to the front of the shop.
"Back in a second!" he said, in his usual sing-songy tone, as he left.
In the front of the shop an old man wearing a dark trench coat and a hat that covered his eyes stood at the front counter.
"Morning." Kisuke said with a wave. "Anything in particular you looking for?"
"Yes," the old man nodded. "I am looking for two girls. Danielle White, and Maemaengwahn Fam-Ducharme."
He said Maems full first name with great difficulty, as everyone, except for Maems family, does.
Kisuke's eyes narrowed. "Why do you want to see them?...And how do you know their names?"
The old man took out his laptop and opened it in response. On the white screen a large calligraphic L floated in the center. "Hello," said the synthetic voice. "I am L."
"L… as in the detective?" Kisuke asked, although it was more of a statement.
"Yes." The voice answered. "I require the assistance of the two girls you have in the back of your shop."
"How do you know where they are?" Kisuke folded his arms over his chest.
"I am the world's greatest detective." The synthetic voice answered. "Now please send them up so I am able to speak with them."
Kisuke's eyes narrowed but he nodded and walked back to where the girls were.
Currently the movie had been paused and the girls were flipping through the large collection of manga.
"Dano, Maems." Kisuke said in an uncharacteristic mono tone voice. "there's someone out front who wants to see you guys."
Maems, who was sitting upside down on the couch with her head dangling over the edge was so surprised by Kisuke's sudden appearance she jumped up and feel off the couch. "…ow." She groaned lazily.
Dano laughed from where she sat on the lazyboy and managed to fall off her chair too. "DAMN!" she cursed loudly while still laughing.
"HEHE! SILLY PERSON!!!" Maems laughed and pointed, still laying on the floor.
Kisuke chuckled and helped Maems up. Maems glomped him, let go, and walked over to Dano and helped her up.
"Don't glomp me." Dano warned.
"Hehehehe." Maems giggled insanely. Twas the side effect from eating too much sugar and reading yaoi.
Kisuke dragged both girls to the front without a word. He was slightly nervous about this odd occurrence.
"Uhh….?" Maems said blankly starring at the man clad in a trench coat and hat. "who's the person with the laptop, and the L ,and the- wait a second."
"Dobe," Dano rolled her eyes. "isn't it obvious, L wants us to help him with the Kira investigation."
"Uhhhhhhh….?" Chorused Maems, Kisuke, and the man with the trench coat.
"Very perceptive of you Danielle, I see I made the right choice." L said through the laptop.
"OH! I get it now!" Maems smiled with realization. "That means this guy is Watari."
"That is correct," the synthetic voice confirmed. "I have made excellent choices. Now if you two agree to assist me with the Kira Case, please follow Watari."
Dano and Maems looked at each other then nodded. "Sure." They said together.
Kisuke positioned himself between Watari and the girls. "You don't have to go you know," he said in a low voice.
"I know," Maems said. "but I want to."
"Same here." Dano agreed. "'Sides this should be fun."
"Yey for suicidal missions!" Maems smiled hyperly in agreement.
L's synthetic voice spoke up. "There is no need to be concerned Uetake-san, I can assure you they will be safe."
Kisuke sighed, there was no convincing Maems or Dano once they sent their minds to something. "Curse your stubbornness."
"Thank you for your co-operation." L thanked and Watari closed the laptop.
"Follow me," Watari said motioning with his and towards the front door. "And Uetake-san, please destroy the security tape from this morning."
Maems hugged Kisuke before she followed. "Don't worry about us Kisuke we'll be fine."
Kisuke nodded as he watched Maems and Dano follow Watari out of his store. He hoped it wasn't for the last time.
Once outside the duo saw a limo sitting idle across the street. Maems looked at the vehicle skeptically. But then shrugged and bolted across the street narrowly missing 3 cars.
"DOBE!" Dano yelled instinctively.
Watari's eyes went wide. "D-does she do that often?"
Dano's sweat dropped. "Unfortunately. Maems doesn't like traffic."
Maems turned around once safely on the other side of the street, standing in front of the limo. "Hurry up guys!!!"
Dano rolled her eyes and walked across the street. Watari followed muttering to himself about 'being too old for this'.
"Hurry up hurry up hurry up," Maems chanted over and over getting impatient and hopping up and down.
"Calm down dobe." Dano sighed as Watari opened the back door.
"No," Maems said defiantly as they climbed into the back of the limo.
The two were so distracted by their conversation they almost didn't notice the man sitting on the black leather seat. He was sitting with his shoes off, his knees pulled up to his chest, and most of his weight resting on his heels and the spot on his back where it touched the back of the seat.
"Good morning girls," said L, his chin resting on his knees and he gazed at the still arguing duo.
Maems jumped slightly, and turned her head. She stared at him with wide eyes for a moment. "Hey! I know you. You're the Panda-guy!"
Dano smacked herself in the forehead. "She means: you're the guy that almost ran her over earlier."
L blinked his dark, sleep deprived, eyes twice. "You saw me?"
Maems nodded. "Yeppers Panda-man."
The limo then jerked forward as Watari started to drive. The movement was so sudden Maems fell forward, landing on top of L. A number of things happened then. 1, Maems face blushed to a 'Hinata-talking-to-Naruto-about-sex' level. 2, Dano laughed until it hurt. And 3, L's pants got a little tight.
Maems laughed nervously as she scrambled back into her seat. L's eyes were wide and his face was just as red as Maems. Dano continued to laugh her ass off, until she was poked in the side by Maems, who gave her the 'glare o' dooom'.
"Alright, alright I'll stop" Dano fake pouted.
L cleared his throat and his blush faded. "Let's get down to business."
Dano and Maems looked at each other and laughed slightly. Both thinking "Getting down to business! Every night! Getting down to business, workin' overtime".
L looked at them, then realized what he had said and sighed. "Anyway, you two know the seriousness of this case, correct?" the girls nodded so he continued. "And you want to know why I've chosen you two to help me, right?" they nodded again. "I have determined that Kira is in this area and most likely a high school student. Myself and Watari have gone through the records of all the students in this district. Also seeing as Kira is most likely a high school student, who better to help me than two intelligent high school students. And what I found at your school about the two of you was most interesting." L pulled out two files with Dano and Maems pictures on them. "Danielle 'Dano' White, grade 10, average 87, and on the basketball, volleyball, karate, and track team. Maemaengwahn 'Maems' Fam-Ducharme, grade 9, average 85, captain of the karate team, and on the swim team and drama club. This may seem like useless information but upon closer investigation Dano is a relative computer genius."
"Thanks!" Dano beamed.
"And Maems, thinks like a criminal."
"Umm….Thanks….?" Maems said, unsure if that was a compliment.
"This is a good thing. I have seen the information you gather on your opponents for your karate team. You've been able to find all of the weaknesses in the opposing team watching them fight once. What I'm saying is, you can anticipate your opponent's next move before he or she makes it."
"Oh, OK" Maems smiled. "Then, thanks L."
"Fliiiiiiirt," Dano laughed, poking Maems in the side.
Maems blushed like crazy simultaneously glaring at Dano. "Nesh!"
L gave the two a puzzled look, unsure what in the world Maems had just said. Dano translated for him, seeing the detective confused. "That's Maems for 'Quit it'."
Maems nodded, crossing her arms. "So, how exactly are we gonna catch Kira?"
