Chapter Six: Misa, Just Shut Up

(Light Misa Slash :D Sorry Misa fans, I really hate that girl…)

Light tried to ignore the chattering teenage girl sitting next to him. He glanced at the detective sitting next to him. If L was annoyed, he sure was hiding it well. Light tried to imitate the detective's nonchalant, uncaring face that never seemed to ripple with fear, or hate, or any other emotion for that matter. It failed miserably, for Misa had noticed his change in attitude.

"Light," she chirped, "let's go on a date!"

Inwardly, Light sighed. This makes the thirteenth time this hour, he thought, glancing up at the clock. "Sorry, Misa, but Ryuuzaki probably doesn't want to go outside," he said with a forced kindness, motioning to the handcuffs that bound the two together.

L ruined his plan. "I don't mind going outside, Misa-chan, Raito-kun."

Light was about ready to sock both of them in the face. However, his morals forbade hitting women. Why did I have to make such morals? He asked himself.

"Yay!" Misa squealed, throwing her arms around the horrified teen. "Misa gets to go on a date with Light!"

L feigned a cough so Misa would remember his existence.

Sighing, she added glumly, "And Ryuuzaki-kun, too."

Within an hour, the three were strolling along the streets. They were an odd-looking trio: Light, wearing a formal suit and tie; Misa, with her Lolita-goth style; and L, with his messy-looking white shirt and jeans, his shoes unlaced. People stared as they walked by, mainly because of the suspicion the handcuffs created. Misa was used to people looking at her funny, but she seemed a bit thrown off of her usual balance.

Desperate, but determined to act like usual, she began mouthing off about some nonsense about Disneyland. Light didn't even notice; he was analyzing the data he had been looking at before he was forced to leave. L didn't notice either. The scrawny detective was looking at the pastry shops, stopping occasionally to glance at the sweets. Light would have to yank on the chain to get the detective to start walking again.

Finally, Light had had enough of Misa's pointless chattering. "Misa, just shut up!" Light scolded. Dragging L along like a dog who wouldn't follow, the teen stormed back to the investigation building, leaving behind a stunned Misa.
