A/N: Hey, nice to be back! Excuses for lateness: …
IMPORTANT!: Okay, I want you, dear readers, to help me with a decision. Now, in reviews or PMs, I want you to type either "Plot A" or "Plot B" to tell me which stories you want me to put up here and prioritize of the two offers (yes, they're more cross-overs). And here they are…
Plot A: Title= Tomboy
Summary: "It's not Haruhi who's a cross dresser in this story. No, it's a girl who breaks vases (Over people's heads), hearts, and can turn any straight guy gay."
Plot B: Title= Traces of Sanity
Summary: "On a trip to Konoha Mental Asylum for business L encounters an intriguing patient, Sakura Haruno. After consideration the Kira cases arises and L requests her help. That's when things get weird."
And… on with the chapter!
More Blondes and the Embracement of Stereotypes
-Sakura Haruno's POV-
"Wait, what do you mean by 'school'?"Inuyasha asked, panicked. L tilted his head in confusion/curiosity (I think?) at his odd question.
"School, as in, you wake up at outrageous hours to go to a boring place to study and torture 5 days of the week. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? I personally couldn't care less if you have failing grades, but you're the right age– in appearances, at least– and it will keep you occupied hopefully." I rolled my eyes, like I wanted someone like Inuyasha badgering me out of boredom.
Light blinked at my sarcasm before asking politely, "What should we do?" L decided to add on to this question.
"Yes, I doubt we can enroll into high school."
'Well, at least he didn't start that percentage crap again,' I thought somewhere in the back of my oversized (that would explain my large forehead) brain. I raised a brow and a side of my lip pulled into a crooked smirk, making my scars appear misshapen and uneven. Everyone but Zero stared, some more discreetly than others. "You think I care? Go somewhere, get a girlfriend, get a life, as long as you don't go into my room I'm happy. Well, I have serious doubts for Ryuzaki being able to do any either– even if he tried. So, he could embrace his stereotype and stalk someone," I said oh-so-helpfully.
"'Stereotype'?" L pondered, thumb to his lips.
"Yes, Ryuzaki, stereotype. You actually remind me of the monster I expected to crawl out from underneath my bed at night, no offense. You happen to look like a pedophile, or some other creeper that people would be ready to call the cops on. I know it's rude, but it's the truth." I bluntly answered his musings with a perfectly straight face. He didn't look the least bit offended, made you wonder if he listened to me at all.
He looked at me curiously, "How do I look like a 'creeper', as you so elegantly put it." Guess he was listening after all.
We all stared at him for a long awkward moment ('Wasn't he supposed to be a genius or something?') and I saw a smirk of his own appear on Zero's lips, looking all too happy and ready to answer his clueless question, sadistic jerk. Not like I have room to talk though.
I sometimes felt sorry for Zero. He had had his heart shattered by a pretty brunette he knew named Yuuki. She was the only other person Zero had opened up to (I'd known him longer), but she'd chosen someone she'd loved since childhood. I couldn't imagine being fought over by men; luckily I won't have to thanks to the babies now occupying some of my face– my scars had a use after all! Every once in a while he would fall into a long brooding period and I couldn't help but get a feeling he was thinking about her. These days he stuck with me, poor guy.
I cleared my throat, "Anyways~, did anyone else that you know of see the orb?"
Light spoke up, "Only a girl I know, Misa, she was with us at the time."
I and Zero froze. "You have got to be kidding me," we said in unison.
Inuyasha and Cloud watched our unique reactions inquisitively.
"Who's Misa?" Cloud asked innocently.
"You don't want to know," Zero answered.
As if on cue a black and yellow blur flashed by flew towards Light in a bear hug of no escape.
I recognized her immediately. She had a short, petite stature and wore a Gothic-Lolita style dress, leather boots, black spider web knee socks, and a black frilled head band. She had lightly tanned skin, large baby-blue eyes, and long, blonde waist-length hair that had 2 small pigtails with the rest of it down. Zero continued polishing off the ice cream container for a moment before commenting through a full mouth, "A blonde Goth isn't something you see every day." He was ignored.
"Oh Light-kun! Misa-Misa knew she'd find you! Isn't Light-kun happy Misa-Misa and him are together again?!"
Oh god, her voice is almost as annoying as Karin's– and I didn't even think that was possible. I let out a groan at this discovery and my head fell on the table with a solid and painful-sounding thunk. Zero, being such a supportive person, poked me in the shoulder a few times but I refused to respond.
"What's wrong with her?" Cloud asked in a, surprisingly, concerned tone. Guess he really is a saint.
"I think she's broken," Zero responded with another poke.
"I thought she'd already snapped," Inuyasha muttered, somewhat bitterly. Nice…
I lifted my head slightly to glare at him from the corner of my eye and most likely burning his soul with it. He yelped in fear and hid behind Cloud slightly. Yeah, that's right, fear me. I was once again reminded of my woes when a noisy high-pitched voice asked, "Oi, Light-kun, who's this scary girl?"
Light chuckled nervously (probably afraid I'd eat his soul or something); "This is Sakura. And she isn't that scary." I growled like some wild animal and a bead of sweat trickled down the side of his face.
"Oh no," my voice rumbled threateningly, "Your girlfriend was spot-on with that one."
L interrupted Light, who had a denial to the girlfriend comment about to spill from his mouth hurriedly (not that I don't know why) with a tilt of his bed-head, "I am curious about your reaction to Misa. You must have quite a bit information." 'That I want to steal,' were the unspoken words.
I sneered at him, "Don't even try going through my stuff, you'll only meet failure. I have locked any and all of my stuff that could be of use to you guys in a chest and the key… well, you could dismantle this place brick by brick, but you wouldn't find it. My laptop has a pass code that you would have no knowledge of, and if it's typed in wrong more than 4 times a message notifies me on my phone, in which case I would have the choice to lock you out. But, you will mostly try anyway despite everything I just told you… so good luck with that." L looked both slightly put out and even more intrigued.
"Well, you're awfully paranoid," Cloud commented.
"Ryuzaki, you just hot owned," Zero told him casually.
Misa (who'd I had nearly forgotten all about) cocked her head, "Misa-Misa's confused. What does she know, Light-kun," she asked him.
"Well, Light, you're her boyfriend. Have fun." I wouldn't explain anymore than i had to if I could help it.
A/N: I think my chapters are getting longer! Never forget to review! Reviews mean motivation which means more writing, then updating, which means more happy readers. Make yourself happy people. AND DON'T FORGET MY PLOT CONTEST THINGGIE!
