The Missing Piece


Mana smiled happily as she looked out the window. Her things, the little that she had, had been packed away and was being driven in a trunk of a car to a Hotel. She stopped staring out the window and turned towards L. He was seated with his knee's up to his chest, his thumb held between his teeth. Mana smiled, she find his stance to be rather cute, It was rather weird, the only person who's stance was so weird was Nears, Mana smiled she liked L's presence.

"Will L stay with Mana?"

L turned to stare at the small girl, she was smiling, Her big green eyes glowing, along with her brown hair that was held up to the sunny, but tinted window.

"As a matter of precaution Watari and Me must move from hotel to hotel. So you'll be staying by yourself."

Mana's lower lip came out. She had liked him, L was her first actual friend out of the Wammy house. She flopped herself in her seat, her arms crossed and her lower lip sticking out.

"But what about cases?"

L turned back to stare at the small girl, her pouting was to child like.

"It is true that I said you'd be helping, but Watari has decided against it."

"Huh, Why?!"

"well, besides the danger. L also came up with such factors as that you actually being successful in a case is very low. About a 76 prercentage."

Mana's eyes bulged, a little something she had learned from Mello.

"why so low."

"Mana-Chan is a girl, she could let her fragile emotions get to the case. Mana-Chan is also child-like and very kind and again, the danger."

"Mana doesn't have to be kind, she can be mean."

She lifted her hands in desperation and motioned as if she would claw something.

"Garr."

"No."

"Hey you said Mana couldn't be on any cases because she was a girl."

Mana stared wide eyed at L. He kept the same expression , her green eyes began to twitch. She raised an accusing finger at L.

"Mana never knew L was a sexist! Sexist!"

She exclaimed the last part very loud and stuck her tongue out. L's eyes drooped, he never knew Mana could be so childish.

"Mana-Chan is very childish"

She stopped sticking her tongue out and let her finger fall. Observing what she had just been called. Slowly she turned away from L and held her knee's up to her chest. L, couldn't see it, but her eyes drooped just like his had a moment ago.

"Does L really think Mana is childish?"

"Yes."

Well, Mana thinks L is a Gorilla! There, now L has a reason to call Mana childish!"

She exclaimed turning and criss-crossing her legs, staring out the window. In a matter of seconds Mana could feel shifting. Something made contact with her shoulder, looking over she bumped into something fleshy. It had been L's nose, she was met by two semi circled dark eyes. This guy really didn't understand personal space, any normal person would be freaking out.

"Do I really look like a gorilla?"

She smiled and nodded.

"Mana thinks L is a little monkey like, but in a cute manner. L is a cute gorilla and Mana enjoys being childish."

She nodded making her nose rub against his. The smell of sweets filled her nose and she smiled at the thought of how this man was so malnourished. L's head shifted on her shoulder as he looked up through the sun roof. He could barely catch the glimpse of the sky, as the many towers had blocked the view. Mana looked too.

"what is L looking at?"

"The sky."

He looked down at her and then back up.

"Mana remembers that the Wammy house always had the best view."

"Mana-Chan misses the Wammy Orphanage."

"Mana also misses Near and Mello, Those two don't know when to sleep."

She smiled and stared up at the little patch of sky.

"Mana likes the sky, it's really pretty, especially when it's about to rain."

He looked back up, for his sight at the time was back on the small girl. They both stayed like that until the car came to a stop. Both people walking out, with Mana holding L's arm, which was still attached to the inside of his pockets. A small smile playing on each of their faces. So they had reached a few understandings. Mana would stay in the Hotel, while L would move around. She would also be attending Daikoku Private academy. L would call her every now and then and she could visit. Although L wasn't an out side person, neither was she. Only when it came to volley ball.


Awe, I actually fit the moment in, although I'm worried it didn't turn out as planned. I tried my best! If no one know's ,Daikoku Private academy, is the school Light attends. Was it a little funny for L to be called a gorilla, he reminds me of some kind of animal, I just can't put my finger on it.
