"Let's inform everyone now."L said after a few silent moments, and walked out of the room with Amaya trailing quickly behind him.
"Everyone, may I please have your attention,"L spoke calmly, and everyone in the main head quarter's room looked at him quietly,"Kaisou's suspicions of being Kira has dropped down to 3 percent, so she will be removed from being under my personal supervision. Instead, a member of the police force will be watching her 24/7, with the exception of her bathing, restroom usage, and until she falls asleep. That meaning that yes, whoever will be watching her for that time will watch her until she sleeps."
"So she's staying with us here, then?"Matsuda asked brightly, sending Amaya a small grin,"For how long?"
L stared at Matsuda for a few seconds before shrugging,"I don't know how long. But yes, Kaisou is staying here with us."
"Er, Ryuzaki,"Amaya said when L went silent and his eyes glazed off as he was staring into space,"Didn't you want to say something else?"
L stared at her for few moments before nodding and turning back to everyone else,"Oh, yes. Kaisou will be helping us with the case occasionally, but for the most part cooking-"
"Aaah,"Matsuda interrupted L who glared at him with an irritated expression,"Kai-chan is a good cook too? She's the perfect wife!"
L scowled at him and Amaya stared at Matsuda with an amused smile. Matsuda flushed as everyone stared at him before he looking at the ground, face a fair pink.
"Kaisou will be cooking for me,"L said dryly,"Such as sweets and cakes. The usual, and only for me, for Watari already has many issues and doesn't need my desires for sweets to add to his worries. Basically, she will be my assistant."
Amaya sighed and shrugged at Matsuda who was giving her a helpless glance.
"There aren't any more cakes,"L said suddenly, annoyance in his tone as he moved next to Amaya,"Why don't you and someone go shopping for some ingredients and the such. You also need some clothes and the like, am I correct Kaisou?"
Amaya nodded and suddenly Matsuda bounded onto his feet and placed a hand on Amaya's shoulder as he looked over towards L,"Can I go with her?"
L blinked and nodded slowly with an unreadable expression on his face,"If it'll keep you out of troubling matters, you may go with Kaisou."
Matsuda frowned and looked downcast as Amaya sent L a disapproving glare,"Be nice to Matsu-kun, he's helping with this case after all with his life on the line. Anyway, where am I going to get money for everything?"
"I'll give you the needed amount,"he replied softly, reaching for his pocket for his wallet,"I suppose I'm paying you early for your assistance. How much does Kaisou think she'll need?"
Amaya fidgeted uneasily,"I usually don't like taking money from people. I'll pay you back everything since I'm already going to be living here for free. I'll make it up to you."
L gave her a slight smile,"Please, don't worry about it Kaisou. Now I repeat, how much does Kaisou need?"
She sighed,"I guess around 20,000 yen for everything, clothes and food and all that stuff. But I will pay you back." -20,000 yen is around 200 dollars-
"If Kaisou wishes, she may,"he murmered, handing her the bills and stared at her seriously for a few moments,"Be careful."
"So, off we go-"she began before a handed gripped her arm and she turned to see a smirking Light,"What?"
"Do you really want to go walking around in that?"he asked, snickering and eyeing her thigh length oversized shirt,"Though, I don't think anyone would mind."
"Light-kun,"Misa moaned from the side, hugging on Light's arm,"What about Misa-Misa?"
Light rolled his eyes,"You're a very attractive celebrity and I love you very much."
"Yay, Light-kun loooves me!"she squeeled happily.
Amaya frowned as she looked down at L's shirt that she was now wearing that reached to her mid-thigh. Her eyes flickered up to see Misa fussing over Light, with L staring back up at the computer screen, clicking away. With a sigh, she ran a hand through her hair, knowing that she'd have to knock down her pride a few notches as she walked up to the model.
"Misa?"she said slowly, tapping her on the shoulder.
Misa turned around and glowered as Amaya stared at her uneasily,"What?"
Taking a deep breath Amaya forced a large smile,"I'm sorry for being so mean to you earlier, I guess I was just like, extra jealous since you're so pretty and famous. Can you forgive me?"
Misa smiled and patted Amaya on the head making Amaya narrow her eyes slightly,"It's okay, Kai-chan. Everyone is jealous of someone so cool like me!"
"Anyway, you've got the coolest clothes!"Amaya squealed making L turn slightly and raise an eyebrow at her in amusement,"Do you think that I could borrow an outfit of yours for today, since I don't want to be walking around like this-"
"Oh my gosh!"she yelled happily, and engulfed Amaya in a hug,"Of course, but only with two conditions."
Amaya blinked,"Uhm, sure?"
"I get to pick out what you're going to wear,"she said with a content smile,"I know what would look really cute on you!"
She laughed nervously,"I guess that's okay. What else?"
"We get to have a sleepover,"she replied instantly,"I don't have that many girl friends that I hang out with, and since you'll be staying here we can hang out in your room! It'll be nice to be real friends with somebody."
Amaya smiled sadly,"That's fine but… I really don't think I have a room."
"There's an empty room next to mine,"Matsuda piped up, making the two girls flinch, startled,"So, you could have that one, there's even a bathroom joining the two rooms together!"
"Matsuda,"L said sternly making the said man recoil slightly,"Please stop flirting with Kaisou, she will be working on the case now and neither you nor Kaisou need any distractions."
Matsuda frowned as Amaya looked at the two men curiously,"L is kind of right, Matsu-kun. Though, I suppose that room will be alright,"she turned towards Misa,"Do you have the clothes with you or do I have to go to your apartment to get them?"
"My apartment,"Misa replied, oblivious that Amaya knew of her living arrangements.
--
Light narrowed his eyes, and crossed his arms as he sat next to L. His gaze shifted to the awkwardly sitting man beside him who wasn't even so much as blinking as he scrolled down his moniter screen. Ryuk was floating beside him on his left, who hasn't spoken since this girl, this Hakumei Kaisou arrived out of nowhere from a park bench, no less.
Who is this girl, he thought as his eyes narrowed into slits, she's not normal. Her Death Note turned to ashes…
LIGHT'S POV/FLASHBACK/
"You knocked the girl out?"Ryuk asked Light, as Light shifted the girl into a slouched position on the park bench,"How?"
"Humans have these things called pressure points,"Light replied impatiently,"And if you press that point, it has different effects on the human body. The one in the neck causes a person to faint."
Ryuk grinned, his teeth glinting in the dim light,"That's interesting. Are you gonna steal her death note?"
Light looked at him and rolled his eyes,"What else would I do with it?"
He reached for the death note that now lay on the opposite side of the park bench, and the moment his fingers brushed across the cover, a sharp shock ran through his arm making him recoil. With furrowed brows, he stared at the now silver book that replaced the dark cover of the death note. Curiously, he gingerly took the notebook in his hands cautiously. When no shock reappeared, he noticed the title on the book changed now reading 'Once Note'.
"Ryuk, what the hell is a Once Note?"he asked with annoyance, handing the book to the eerie shinigami to his right.
"I've heard of it,"Ryuk murmered, turning the note book around then back again,"This doesn't come with shinigami, this is from something else. I don't know much more then it's from fallen angels."
"Fallen angels?"Light repeatedly increadously,"How-"
"Ack!"Ryuk yelped, as a flame burst in his hand, and the 'Once Note' was diminished as was the flame.
NORMAL POV/END FLASHBACK/
"Ryuzaki,"Amaya heard Light murmer in a muffled whisper,"Would you mind if I could question Kaisou for the investigation?"
"No, I wouldn't,"L replied smoothly to Amaya's slight confusion,"You may question Kaisou when she, Misa, and Matsuda come back from buying Kaisou's needs."
Light turned towards Amaya, and smirked. Amaya glared daggers, and swiftly turned back towards Misa and Matsuda.
"So, do you want to go to your apartment now, Misa?"Amaya asked as the three headed out the room and to the entrance,"Can we go without me being seen.. like this?"
"Mmhmmn,"she hummed, as a limo appeared in front of the head quarter's entrance, and Amaya scurried into the limo, and pulled the large shirt over her knees as she sat.
"You remind me of Ryuzaki,"Misa laugh, pointing at Amaya,"You're so silly, Kai-chan."
Amaya smiled weakly,"Yeah."
After about 30 minutes of hyper conversation between Misa and Matsuda, Amaya's eyes began to droop and eventually, they completely closed. With her head leaning on the window, and the steady rumble of the engine lulling her into sleep, she fell into a restless slumber.
Reviewer Replies
Hey, you guys have been so generous with giving me all these wondrous reviews. They make me happy. So, I felt the need to respond to some! Here we go:
XxHeartbreakRomancexX: I know, I feel bad for L too. I'd be paranoid. Or, in L's case, extra paranoid-Crystal/ I don't know what you meant by change anything. I think you do, and if so, then you are a Kira fan, correct? :P-Emmy
Chaotic Twilight Kitsune & SabiiChii: Ahaha, I was watching Lolita on TvLand while waiting for that episode of Death Note to be on. My mom got pissed at me because I changed the channel to Death Note. Though, I started shaking and tearing up when L died. I think that was why I wrote this fanfiction, so L would live on! Or will he… oh the suspense.
Everyone Else: Thanks so much for the support and all the kind comments! Oh, and Amaya loves you all too! :D
P.S. If anyone has any questions or wants to suggest something to happen next in the story, message me or put it in a review. :3
Natsumi Talk
Natsumi: So, I'm not hit with writer's block yet! But I'm hit with cramps. Damn being a woman. –grumbles-
Amaya: I'm starting to feel irritable too. That's your fault, Natsumi.
Natsumi: I know, I think I put some of my own feelings in this story. I hope I don't make you PMS and kill Mello and L for their food. o.o;;
L & Mello:-cowers in fear-
Natsumi: I'm sorry to say that a lot of work has been trying to kill me. I mean, I try to take one day at a time and all, but several days seem to attack me at once. It might be until the weekend when I update. But once I get this boatload of work off my back, I'll update really fast, like, once every two days or whatever. Though, the work might just disappear so, you never know! –wishfull thinking-
Near: Natsumi, the reason why you have so much to do is because you were playing and sleeping the basically all of last week. And I still want my squirt gun back.
Natsumi: But…but… you're mean to me!
Near: Poor excuse, now anyway. –gives reader's puppy eyes- Natsumi wants me to thank you all for reading this chapter, and this story in general. There have been about 600 hits already. Natsumi smiled so much it hurt and it was getting kind of creepy. –stares at Natsumi blankly-
Natsumi: Just like the adorable little man said, thanks! Oh, and review if you want anything to happen between Amaya and Matsuda if you want extra drama or whatever. Ahaha. I'm so cruel.
Amaya: Even more drama? I barely even know what's going on with the story as it is!
Light: WHAT IS A ONCE NOTE?! –goes crazy from not knowing something-
Amaya:-looks at Light like he went over the deep end twice- A Once Note? Natsumi…
Natsumi:-smiles- Alas, an addition to the plot! Anyway, I'll be setting up a voting thing at around the 10th chapter to see whoever Amaya will get together with. Power to the readers! I hope you enjoyed, see you next time! C:
