Chapter Two: Display Case
L was getting closer to me and with each step he took my throat was becoming more and more constricted. This couldn't be happening?!?
"Hello."
A monotone voice spoke to me and I finally felt myself breathe from my short unwanted gasp. L's hand was out in front of me and I shook it shakily.
"H-hello, my name is Sasha. Well my undercover name."
I blurted out my face reddening in embarrassment. What was happening to me?!? This is so unprofessional in front of L.
"Of course, Rue Ryuuzaki."
L's attention wasn't on me as he retracted his hand from my scorching hot one. I looked over my shoulder and found that L's eyes were directed to the cake display inside the café. More specifically he was staring at the strawberry shortcake that made my own mouth water.
"Would you like to go inside?"
I asked, looking back over to L he never made eye contact with me as he nodded his head and opened the café's door. As the door opened a bell rang and both L and I stepped in.
"Sasha you're here earlier than expected, want me to get you a table?"
"For two please."
Cameron, a friendly neighbor of mine and amazing cook who also owned this small café, walked over to us.
"Alright, follow me."
L and I followed Cameron to a small side booth next to a large window where we could watch the world outside. As Cameron handed us our menus the bell to the café's door jingled. Cameron looked up and smiled brightly waving.
"Remember hey, you're right on time. How many?"
"Just me today, Cameron."
A soft voice bounced around the walls of the café and both L and I looked up. The woman was covered, long black coat going down to her knees and a small black top hat? Strange style but then again…I looked down at the clothes I wore…I had no style. I shook my head and sat my menu down; L was staring at the menu in awe as he bit down on his thumb sitting in the booth in his usual awkward way.
"Are we ready to order?"
Cameron chirped, her red curly locks bouncing around her neck as she took out a pad of paper and pen.
"We'll each have a slice of your strawberry shortcake and he'll also take one strawberry iced cupcake with a box of chocolates."
"Oh sugar addict, huh?"
Cameron looked over at L smiling before giving a small wink.
"Don't worry so am I. alright, I'll go and get your orders made."
Cameron took our menus and I watched her walk off a skip in her step. She was always so happy; I didn't think anyone could be that happy. But I've been wrong about a lot of things lately.
"So, Ryuuzaki do you have a lead on the case?"
"No way!"
Squealed Cameron and my attention quickly flickered over to her. Cameron was talking to that girl with the top hat. Her long black coat was hanging on the chairs back while her top hat was now resting on the table's surface. The girl looked to be around my age her hair was snow white in color and it went down to her waist. Her bangs slightly covered crimson red eyes that clashed with her pale skin color. The girl's attire was a light blue dress with four black buttons on either side of her chest at her stomach, the sleeves were white and short and at the bottom of the sleeve it was tied with black ribbon. And at the top of her dress it had a white collar; she was wearing black tights for her dress.
"Remember you're so funny."
Giggled Cameron and the girl named Remember looked up smiling; her eyes flickered over to me. I quickly looked away flustered.
"Light Yagami."
L answered as he stacked the small coffee milks on top of another.
"Also, Misa Amane."
Light Yagami, an image of Light flickered inside my mind and I cringed inwardly. He was undeniably handsome; any girl could lose themselves to that man if they weren't careful…Like me. I quickly shook my head and then nodded at L.
"Right, for the first and second Kira. Do you have any evidence linking them together?"
"As the possibility of being Kira we have little but Light has sparked my interest especially when he could get all case files and information from his father who is chief of the police, so there is a seven percent chance of him being Kira. While if you're referring to the link between him and Amane it is quite simple, they're a couple."
That's right; I forgot Light had been dating Misa during the Kira case.
"And you want me to get the files from the government quicker."
"Correct."
"Here you two are!"
Cameron handed us our food and gave us tea which was the only drink here other than coffee.
"Thank you."
L murmured as Cameron handed him a box of sugar cubes.
"You're welcome; I thought you might need that. Trust me you aren't the only one who uses half a box of these."
Cameron's eyes flickered over to Remember who was sipping her cup of tea looking out the window.
"Anyways, is there anything else I can get you right now?"
"No thank you Cameron."
Cameron nodded and we ate in silence for a few moments.
"I'll need you at this address by six in the morning."
L stated slipping me over a card. That's strange t-this never happened the first time. Things can't possibly change that quickly?!? Or could I have made up that whole last year in my mind? Wait did he say six!?!
"I'll have to wake up at four to get to this address by six! Most people are sleeping at four in the morning!"
"Sleep is useless when those hours could be spent on hard work."
L finished his sentence before taking another bite of his cake. That sentence made him sound emotionless like someone had made him repeat that sentence over and over again until it was seared into his brain. It gave me small chills and in turn I clutched the card tightly.
"Fine, I guess you're right someone as evil as Kira should be stopped."
…
The rest of the time I was with L it was in silence. I didn't have much guts to try and commence small talk with the world's greatest detective. Im pretty sure that wasn't something he particularly enjoyed…small talk.
Once done with our food L and I went up to the cake display where the cash register was. Cameron's friend Liz stood behind the counter.
"You guys all set?"
"Yes."
L took out a wad of cash from his pocket before I even had a time to take out my wallet.
"Also I would like to purchase that strawberry shortcake."
"Here you go Remember, I wrote something special on there just for you!"
Cameron had taken out the strawberry shortcake out from the display case and placed it in a folded pink box that she was handing over to that girl, Remember. Liz looked down at L who looked like he was about to pout as he stared at Remember; Remember looked over at L and stared at his slightly pouting face.
"Here."
Her voice was soft and sounded like small bells. Remember placed the box into L's hands and both their eyes grew wide. All I could do was stare in awe and confusion at the sight folding out in front of me. This never happened the first time.
"Thank you."
Murmured L so softly that I could barely pick up the words. Remember slowly let her hands fall to her side as a soft, delicate smile formed onto her face.
"No problem."
"Hey Remember!"
All of our attention turned to Cameron.
"Yes?"
"Say hello to the boys alright and tell them I'll whoop their butts if they don't come over, especially when I have new chocolate treats for Mello to try."
L tensed slightly next to me and I watched his eyes flicker over to Remember. Remember nodded and handed Cameron the money she owed.
"I'll tell them, it's just hard to get away right now."
"Your uncle Roger sounds like such a stick in the mud."
Remember's face fell slightly and her voce had become even softer as she said,
"Yeah."
The café's bell rang as Remember stepped out and walked away. L had become pale, if that's even possible, and he was gripping onto the pink cake box for his dear life.
"Ryuuzaki?"
"Excuse me."
L quickly muttered and in a flash he was gone, the bell to the café's door signaling his departure.
"What just happened?"
I looked over at Cameron and shook my head.
"I have no idea. I should get going. I'll see you later Cameron."
"Bye Sasha, come back soon!"
As I started to walk down the sidewalks of Japan the sound of wings beating against my ears was starting to concern me. I took a few steps into an alleyway and stopped, the flapping stopped.
"What the hell-"
I spun around on my heel and was face to face with Lucipher our noses just inches from touching.
"Ah!"
I jumped back distancing myself from Lucipher. So it wasn't just a dream, I truly am in the past.
"What? Am I too incredibly handsome?"
Lucipher said sarcastically and I eyed him up and down. He looked disheveled and he had no wings or horns, actually he looked human…and kinda' like L.
"Lucipher you don't-"
"I know and people can see me."
"But shinigami's don't have that power."
Lucipher smirked at me his red eyes gleaming.
"Well im not a regular shinigami. Now come on I could really use some strawberries…or jam. No, strawberry jam! Haha that's what I've been craving!"
"Lucipher are you sure you're-"
"Yuki im fine, oh and when im in this human form just call me BB. Now come we must go and get my strawberry jam."
"O-okay."
And that my dear friends, is the end of chapter two! Hahaha don't you love my many surprises wrapped up into one chapter. So yeah L is in this a lot more and I told you this is a lot different from when I first wrote it. Rain Remember has just been spotted and L went all weird on us when they met…wonder why? Hehehe and then Lucipher can change into a human has a strange craving for strawberry jam and wants to be called BB! Want to understand? Well keep up with this story and you'll find out. Anyways hope you all are enjoying this newly improved story and remember reviews make my world go round.
