BATTLE OVER FISH

L and Light drove to the mansion, Matsuda as Chauffeur. "I feel a little guilty deceiving the chief and Watari."

"Well," Light said. "This is for Ryuuzaki's sake, so let's not think about it."

"I really don't know why you persist in thinking that I like her romantically."

"You asked Watari for information on her. That's what stalkers do," Light said. "If you're not in love with her than why did you asked for information."

L paused, unsure what he was going to say about that. "Curiosity isn't going to suffice for you isn't it."

"My point exactly," Light said, leaning back in the seat.

"We're here. Wow! Look at the size of this place!"

They pulled in and L didn't see what was so amazing about it, but Light and Matsuda were staring at it in awe.

"It's just a house," he said.

"A house the size of a palace!" Matsuda exclaimed. "Let's go in!"

Light looked at L and shook his head. "Alright, let's go," he said, walking up the steps, dragging L along with him. Matsuda had already rung the door bell. A phone was next to the door. It rang and Matsuda picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Can we help you?"

"We're here to see a Sunako Nakahara. Can we come in?"

"Yeah, just a minute."

A few moments later, a red haired boy opened the door. He had a bruise on one eye. He looked at them and pouted. "Yuki! You said they were friends of Sunako's!"

"That's what they said! Don't tell me you were expecting girls?"

The red haired boy smiled shamelessly. "Well, what can I say? The ladies love me."

"I feel sick," Matsuda muttered. Light nodded his agreement. Another boy, shorter and sort of child like in appearance, sporting a cut on his cheek came out.

"Sorry about that. Ranmaru's a womanizer."

"Isn't he fifteen?"

"Shameful isn't it?"

"Beyond shameful."

"Come in, come in, we're about to have dinner."

"Food!" Matsuda shouted gleefully, coming into the house. Light and L followed and the door closed. L looked around, wondering where Sunako was.

"If you're looking for Sunako, she's in the kitchen."

"Sunako Nakahara! Where's our food!" another blonde, but more rambunctious, boy shouted.

"GET OUT!" Sunako screeched. The boy ran out of the kitchen, grumbling.

"I'm starving!"

"Wow…I haven't been this immature since junior high," Light muttered.

"Since junior high? I haven't been like that since college."

"Really? Not much has changed," L stated.

"Be nice, Ryuuzaki-san!" Matsuda whined as they were led into the dining room.

"I'll let Sunako-chan know that we have guests," a dark haired boy said. He went into the kitchen and left L, Light, and Matsuda in the dining hall. Matsuda couldn't help but examine the brightly lit room. A few minutes later, they were joined by Sunako's house mates, all sporting wounds of some sort.

"How'd you get those wounds?"

"Sunako did this when she got home, even though we tried to make it up to her."

"Quite understandable. Anyone would be upset if their house mates forgot about them."

"Yeah…well, it almost killed her one time. Kyouhei had to threaten Hiroshi-kun in order to get her to eat after that."

The kitchen door opened and Sunako came in. The men stared at the beautiful, delicious food. The four boys started to dig in and Light and Matsuda took a taste.

"Mommy, I'm sorry!" Matsuda said, wolfing down the food, tears coming down his cheeks. Light looked different himself.

"I never tasted such elegant cuisine in my life!"

L caught Sunako's eye and she turned away. L shrugged and took a pot-sticker from the dish and took a bite. He usually hated regular food, hence all the excessive sweets. But this tasted different. It tasted… superb!

"Sunako-chan! This is…this is…I can't describe it, it's so good!" L gushed, reaching over for a bit of fish. His chopsticks collided with another's. Looking up, he noticed that the rowdy blonde was staring at him and sparks flew.

"Winner takes all," he challenged. L nodded.

"Uh, what about me?" Light said, raising his cuffed hand.

"You'll have to be referee," L stated, dragging Light into the parlor.

Dinner commenced as L and the boy began to fight over the fish. After a few minutes, they had to call an ambulance again.

"Whoa…He's stronger than Kyouhei!"

"Sunako, how'd you meet him again?"

"Downtown in the Kento region," she answered. L and Light came back in, to finish eating.

"I'm never getting on his bad side again," Matsuda said. L glanced over at him and shivered. "Never."

"Keep that in mind," L told him with a nod.

So, I've decided to upload a few more chapters at once (I think I have 12-13 chapters, but I didn't label the chapter #s so...)

Hope you all enjoy it.
