chapter 7
disclaimer: I do not own death note, if I did the show would probably suck.
I'm trying to update everyday if I can, but on my other story writers block hated me and chances are on this one it will eventually just say "nope, I'm gonna make writing this more difficult than finding Waldo, Mwahahaha!" and then I won't be able to update everyday. Luckily, I don't think it will happen anytime soon, I've already finished writing chapter 9 and I've been working on this story every free minute I have.
It had been months since Vanilla last got any leads on the Kira case. Most of the task force had quit and eventually the remaining task force members had started meeting L in person in an unknown location so she couldn't get anymore information from them. She sighed in frustration and slammed the lid of her laptop down. "I think I need some fresh air" Vanilla left her apartment and locked the squeaky door.
As she wandered around the mall she bought a pair of earrings that looked like little cupcakes with cherries on top and a necklace that looked like a little ice-cream cone. She jumped as her phone went off in her pocket, no one really called her very often so she had forgotten she had it. She hit the button to answer it and put it up to her ear. She almost dropped the phone when Meg's loud voice came through the speaker.
"Val! where are you right now!?"
"calm down Megumi-chan. Wh-"
"How many times do I have to tell you? Call me Meg!"
"ok, Meg, I'm at the mall, what's the matter?"
"I forgot my lunch and I have classes today so I need you to bring me something!" Meg was a student at To-Oh university, which wasn't too far away from the mall Vanilla was at.
"ok, I'll get you a sandwich or something and meet you there, but I'll have to be fast I have to be at work in 20 minutes"
"Thank you so much Val, you're a life saver!"
"No problem"
Vanilla hung up and went back into the mall to find some food for her friend. It took her about 5 minutes to to get the food and get to the university, but finding Meg was a much harder task. She wandered around the campus for another 5 minutes. She passed by a tennis court, where she saw an intense looking match going on. Suddenly she was tackled and almost lost her balance.
"hey!" she turned to see a very tired looking Meg.
"there you are Val! I just ran a marathon around the campus looking for you!"
"I think that's an exaggeration-"
"shut up and give me food" Vanilla laughed as she tossed her friend a paper bag.
"what's going on down there?" She pointed to the tennis court.
"oh, thfa's fwiv vaammy awwn rvva-"
"don't talk with your mouth full, I can't understand you" Meg swallowed the bite of her sandwich before speaking again.
"That's Light Yagami and Hideki Ryuga. Other than that I dunno, they both seem pretty good at tennis though"
"yeah"
"oh! you should get to work! I'm sorry for making you bring me food, wait no I'm not, anyways just go! go! go! before you're late!" she pushed Vanilla to get her to hurry up.
"ok, ok I'm going" Vanilla laughed and got on her motorcycle.
"Welcome to yige-wangba! how may I help you?" Vanilla stood behind the counter at the cafe. She was surprised to see the two boys who had been playing tennis not long ago, Hideki Ryuga and Light Yagami, she remembered Meg saying. She knew Light was chief Yagami's son, and he came to the cafe often. 'The other guy must be a friend of Light's' she thought. She took their order and gave them their coffee, with and abnormally large amount of sweetener. As Vanilla was cleaning on of the nearby tables she heard two cellphones go off at the same time and a moment later she was almost knocked over as Yagami and Ryuga ran past her.
"what was that all about?" she mumbled to herself as she continued cleaning the tables.
Meg is a fun character to write, I was just gonna have her be someone that just happens to get Vanilla to be at the right place and right time but now I'm thinking I might try to have her do a lot more. She could join the task force or maybe she will accidentally do something completely awesome! tell me what you think, I need ideas to get her in the story more often!
