&& LightYagami25, thank you for the favorite on my InuYasha story, Irreplaceable. Much appreciated. Onward with the story!
Light stood in front of the mirror fixing his hair. "Funny how it takes a lot of work to look like you just rolled out of bed." He laughed at himself and turned his back to the mirror. L came from a sid door wearing a collared shirt and black slacks. "You look... fabulous!"
"Go fuck a duck, Yagami."
"Be nice or I'll take Mana-chan with me too." L kept staring at Light with daggars in his eyes.
"Do so and your chances of dying will be 100 percent, guaranteed."
"Grow a sense of humor, sheesh! So what do we call you in public?"
"Ryuuzaki." L picked up his coat and pulled it on. "Do I have to put on a tie?"
"No, but it would make you look more refined." L grabbed a tie off the table and tried to put it on.
"Here, I'll help you . Good lord!" L stood like a child being helped with his shoes, eyes rolling, arms crossed.
"Wonder what the girls are going to look like?"
"Spankin' hot, as always." L stood back and examined himself. He did look more refined, and still remained the L he had been all his life. His shirt collar was white and the rest of it was red. L Lawliet was a recipe for disaster considering the way he was dressed. The men heard the upstairs door open and turned their attention towards that area. Misa came out wearing a strapless purple gown to coordinate herself with the way that Light was dressed. She had her hair tied back in an elegant bun like at her concert. Her makeup was subtle today though. Her eye makeup dominated her face, proving the modeling makeup skills she had.
"Hey, Light-chan! How do I look?"
"It's surprising to see you without your lipstick, but you still look great." Misa walked to the bottom of the stairs and cleared her throat.
"Okay now, guys, don't be too blinded her beauty. But I'm pleased to introduce you to the new, sexified, Manami Rivers. I mean..." Misa cleared her throat again, blushing at her mistake. "Ahtasan Takahashi!" The men clapped and watched for the woman to come down the steps. And indeed, Manami made an entrance for herself. She wore a black stream-lined gown with a rose embroidered with silver thread and lacey straps. Her makeup looked more like Misa's. Red lips, black eyeshadow and Egyptian style eyeliner and just a tinge of coral pink blush. Her hair was down and in spiral curls, making her look a tad bit younger.
"Is that... Mana-chan?" Misa smiled and walked over to Light.
"My work is done." Manami smiled and continued to descend until she reached L.
"Do I look dorky?"
"You're... absolutely beautiful." Manami smiled shyly and looked at the floor.
"I'm glad I at least look decent. It everyone ready to go?"
"Yes ma'am!" The girls linked their ams around the guys' and walked out of the room. "So, what are we riding?"
"A carriage." Manami looked at L with a childish excitement glowing in her eyes.
"How in the world did you find a carriage in Tokyo?"
"I have my ways." The carriage pulled up by the steps of the building. "Ladies first." Light helped Misa in and waited for Manami to step forward. She glanced at L then allowed him to help her in. Light jumped in beside Misa, causing the carriage to rock a little.
"Come on, slow poke!" Light reached his hand out and L found himself looking on a picture perfect moment. Misa and Light were finally together and Light was reaching out to him like a brother. Not only that, but Manami awaited him to take his place beside her. It almost overwhelmed him! L grabbed Light's hand and sat down beside Manami. She touched his hand and he smiled gently.
"I can't wait to dance with you, Mana-chan."
"I'm not all that great at dancing." Her blush got a little darker; L squeezed her hand.
"I'm sure you're more than exceptional. I mean, you are an international pop star, dancing comes with the territory." The double couple stared out at the scenery as they traveled down the street. Every now and then Misa would burst out in song, followed by Manami, holding everyone in stitches. Finally they reached Alichino's and everyone got out. L heard Misa squeal and found her grabbing her butt while smacking Light playfully on the chest.
"Light, don't start that now!" He laughed and let Misa walk in first. L and Manami came to the door and L held out his hand.
"After you, suki." She giggled and walked through. L gasped at the sight beyond him. He had never been to Alichino's, so he didn't know what to expect, but this was a place people could only dream about dining at. Angels and demons decorated the ceiling battling with bows and horses. Golds, reds and oranges blinded the customers and the furniture was elegant. A live orchestra was playing on a small stage in front of the tables. It was a posh, prim place. "Wow, did you know what this place looked like before we got here?" Misa turned around and gave a girlish laugh.
"Of course, I used to visit this place all the time." A waiter walked up to them and cleared his throat.
"Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes." L stepped forward, trying to build up his courage however slightly. The waiter led them to a stand where a thick black book laid.
"Name, please."
"Ryuuzaki, party of four." The waiter examined the book and nodded.
"Right this way, Ryuuzaki-san." The group followed the water until they reached a table shrouded in darkness.
'Perfect,' the four thought. They all took a seat simultaneously and Misa leaned in.
"This is where the stars come to dine and hang out. That's why everything's so ritzy." A pretty younger waiter who couldn't have been more than about seventeen or eighteen visited them for a few breif moments to take their orders. She wore a constant blush as though she were intimidated.
"What would you all like to drink?" A smile crawled across Light's face. This was his first opportunity to order an alchoholic drink legally.
"Do you have red wine and some type of champagne?"
"Yes, miss. Would you like both?"
"Yes, if you don't mind, please." The waitress nodded and rushed off. "Oh boy, I love you so. Never ever ever gonna let you go, once I get my hands on you. I hope you feel the same way too." Misa started swinging his hands in the air and sang. The rest of the group sat watching the scene, mortified. Misa looked at them and put her hands down. "What's wrong with singing? You guys need to loosen up, seriously." No one bothered to respond to her. The waitress came back moments later holding the drinks and glasses.
"Enjoy," they heard her squeak.
"Wine or champagne, suki?" Manami's hands trembled of excitement and nervousness as she asked. She loved to be of some type of help.
"I think I'll go for the wine." Manami and L reached for the wine bottle and ended up grabbing each other's hands. They blushed as their hands retracted. Misa was pouring Light's glass full of champagne and started to fill her own.
"I'll pour it for you," Manami said in a small, sensual voice. L watched as Manami's small hands poured the wine carefully. It was amazing how the little things Manami did made L so... heated and passionate.
"Thank you," L said in a tiny voice. He watched as she poured herself a helping. The waiter came by again and asked for food orders. The group each decided on an order and listened to the music flowing through the place. "There's such a peaceful atmosphere," L said quietly after his fifth glass of wine. His cheeks were flushed, making him look very adorable. "It's no wonder why all the celebrities come here." Manami was watching the band play with a longing and L noticed quickly. "What's bothering you, suki?"
"I miss singing a little." L took her hand and smiled gently.
"Shall we dance, darling?" The couple got up and joined Light and Misa on the floor. A song started up softly and Manami recognized it.
"This could be our song you know." Manami looked at the floor and giggled. L swung her around gracefully and pulled her into a waltz stance.
"Sings for me, Mana-chan..." L's voice was a low sexual growl in Manami's ear as the band started to play a gentle love song.
Put In 'First Time' Lyrics By Lifehouse
L looked down at Manami as she raised her head from his chest. "You're just fine at dancing, Mana-chan." L kissed her forehead and led her back to the table. Every now and then a fast song would come on and the girls would drags the guys up again, but for the most part, they sat and enjoyed the peace of not thinking about Kira or his murders.
"The check, sir." L looked at the check and paid the clerk at the main desk.
"Did you have fun tonight, Misa-chan?"
"I always have fun when I'm with you." Manami watched as they cuddled, pushing all the world away until nothing was left but themselves.
"It's time to head home. Let's go, it's getting late and colder." L broke Manami from watching them and took her hand. "Oi, you two! It's time to head back home." L motioned for them to get up. The group headed outside to wait for the carriage. L noticed that Manami was shivering a little and put his coat on her. Every now and then, one of the girls would start to hum the chorus of 'First Time', putting a smile on their partner's face. L grabbed Manami and grinned. This was where she was meant to be, in his arms.
Kira laughed and finished writing a name in his Death Note. "Enjoy your time together with your 'love', Manami. I've taken you once, I'll do it again. Only this time, you might just die. I will get what information I need one way or another." He looked through his binoculars as she stepped into the carriage with L. "I'm guessing you're L. But what's your true name?" Ryuk appeared and peered out the window at the scene.
"You sure like to keep your eyes on her. What plans are you making?" Kira smiled and looked at his watch.
"You'll see soon enough." The news was reporting a criminal that had just fallen dead on the streets.
What a romantic way to spend the day! I think it went rather smooth, don't you? But you know what they say, for each moment of happiness, there's ten minutes of sadness. Will that be true in this case? And what's Kira so happy about? WHO IS KIRA? Review to find out! I have the next chapter ready, you just have to do your job. Three reviews at the least folks. Get to work!
