A/N... I do not own Death Note or any of its characters. I only take credit for OCs (Reika Endo)
A sleek black car drove down a semi-crowded road heading for To-Oh University in Japan. The driver of this car was an old man with white hair combed back neatly and a white mustache. He dressed sharply in a black suit and tie with a matching hat. Crouching on the back seat was a man with dark eye bags and messy black hair. He wore a plain white long sleeved shirt and baggy blue jeans. His shoes remained on the floor while his feet kept him balanced on the seat.
They passed a small café with a pale green awning and small white metal chairs with matching tables set out in front. The man in the back of the car looked out the window with wide black eyes and marveled at the array of treats displayed on the other side of the glass. "Watari, stop the car," the man ordered his driver.
The old man smiled good-naturedly at the man after parking the car across the street from the small café. "Would you like to go yourself, L? Or shall you wait here?"
"No, that's alright, Watari, I can go by myself. Light Yagami isn't taking this way to get to the university. I should be fine on my own," L decided. He did the calculations in his head. The chance of Light Yagami being on this very street was two percent. The chance that Kira was on this street was maybe five or six. The man called L slid his feet into the shoes but didn't bother to lace them when he crawled out of the car. He stood with a hunch and his arms dangling at his sides as he crossed the street. It would only take a moment for him to admire the sweets and then they would be off to the entrance exam. He stood in front of the window with his thumbnail between his teeth. His eyes grew wide as he examined a three-tiered vanilla cake with white icing and strawberries. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a woman exit the café.
She wore a blue blouse with a matching skirt and knee high gray boots. He only saw her from the back since she was already walking away from the café, and her short black hair bounced behind her. He followed after the young woman before he could lose her in the crowd. But when he got close enough he saw that he didn't know this woman at all. Her eyes were brown instead of blue, and the curve of her face was all wrong. L turned around with his hands in his pockets and walked back to the car.
On the way back he passed another young woman exiting the café. She had her chalky red hair in a thick twist over her shoulder. L didn't look at her twice.
"Who was that?" Watari asked when L got in and crouched in the backseat again.
"She resembles someone I know. Let's go," L stated simply. L saw Light Yagami during the exams. He watched the man he suspected of being Kira flipping through the test pages, but he did not see the red haired woman sitting in the back, chewing on the end of her hair while she watched L watch Yagami.
