A/N: YAY! Chapter 3!
I'd like to thank those who took the time to review: Stormygio, Moonlight Walks, and Mary Lou! I'd also like to tank anyone who favorite and/or subscribed this story or me!
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note; if I did there would be some major Light and L action. ;)
WARNINGS: LxLight/LightxL action (YAOI), L's real name, Language (Mello), and everything deemed inappropriate for youngsters…pfft like they care about ratings anyway.
L sat in his chair going over another murder case. It's been two months since Light's funeral and since L's been in Japan.
After the funeral, L decided he couldn't stay any longer. The Kira case was over, so he wasn't even obligate to be there. He packed his bags and left with a brief goodbye to the task force.
Ever since L made it back to Whammy's, he's dedicated himself to work and watching over the children. He moved rapidly through cases, solving faster and more accurately than ever before. But, he was also sleeping less and more paranoid. He seemed to be brooding in his off time (which was forced upon him by Watari).
"L, Mello, Matt, and Near have all been asking to go out to the park. They wish for you to escort them." Watari said as he entered the room.
"Do they now?" L replied acting nonchalant. He was working, he couldn't break for something as menial as a walk. Though if they got ice cream while out…
Watari sighed, in truth it was he who wanted L to go out. Get some fresh air, relax a little. It saddened the wise, old man seeing his son like figure so consumed by work and pleasing other. Watari was proud of all L's been doing, but he wished that L would stop and smell the roses.
"Actually, Watari, I think I'll go." L said with a tiny grin. "As long as we can stop for ice cream" he added.
Of course that's why L would chose to go. Watari sighed.
"Yes, L, of course you can get ice cream."
"I SAID I WANTED CHOCOLATE WITH CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES!" Mello yelled at the top of his voice, "AND WHAT HELL DOES THIS LOOK LIKE TO YOU?"
"Um, uh, c-chocolate with-with"
"Go on!"
"Rai-Rainbow sp-sprinkles" the poor ice cream man stuttered out.
"Exactly! Rainbow fucking sprinkles! Now fix it!" Mello stomped over to L, Matt, and Near, who were all cowering away from Mello.
"Er, Mello? Why don't you take a breath and calm down…please." L suggested. He pulled a wary grin, trying to soothe the young boy's anger.
"Fine, Ryuuzaki, after I get my ice cream though. The right ice cream." L sighed in relief and Matt let out the breath he'd been holding since Mello was presented with the rainbow sprinkles. Near just sighed, he was getting irritated at Mello's actions and was going to speak up, but L asked him not to. So of course he wouldn't. Well at least he wouldn't when L were around.
After Mello's attack on the ice cream man, they four genii wandered around the park leisurely, taking in the scene. People stared as they walked and pointed, sometimes they'd whisper cruel things about the four's oddities. But they all proudly held their ground and pretend not to notice.
"Ne, Ryuuzaki, can we go to the park and play for a bit?" Near asked.
"Sure, let's go…just don't threaten anybody, Mello." L said with a tiny grin. Mello just shrugged, he didn't care. He was too excited about going to the park for the first time in many years. Matt followed readily behind and Near brought up the rear.
L walked down towards the lake by the edge of the park and sat, it probably wasn't responsible to leave Matt in charge of the two, but he wanted to be alone for awhile.
As he was sitting there, he heard a light thud on the ground beside him. When he turned there was a red notebook beside him.
'Time Note'
L's eyes widened. Time Note, it looks just like the Death Note except for the coloring! But what does a Time Note do? L wondered if it could manipulate time like a Death Note could manipulate death. He flipped open the cover and, there were the rules just like the Death Note.
How to Use
1. Using this one person can travel backward or forward through time.
2. You must write the exact date (MM/DD/YYYY) and time (HH:MM) you wish to go to.
3. The user may add or take away years of their age. (Note that your life span will not be affected, so no person can use this to become immortal. Your life span is just how much time you have left, not an exact date. If you take a year off your current body, you lose a year off your life span. Example: Your life span is 25- 6-13 (YY, MM, DD), you take off 2 years from your body to move through time, your life span is 23- 6-13.) This way you can fit in with the era you came back to.
4. To make the deal, write your name beside the time and write plus # or minus #.
5. When you move through time, you will replace the 'you' during that time, showing up wherever you were during that time. That way there isn't two of the same person in each era.
6. The person who uses this note cannot be affected by any other 'notes' during this time.
7. Like the Death Note each Time Note has its personal Shinigami.
L paused, if this were true, then where was the Shinigami who owned this Time Note?
"I see you've already read the note's rules and are interested in it. You don't seem very surprised at most of the stuff in there though."
L snapped his head up. He saw a gruesome, white, skeleton-esque figure. It had wide wings and seemed to be made up of entirely of bone. It had yellow cat like eyes and purple lips with fangs poking out of the top lip.
"Hello, Shinigami, may I inquire as to what your name is?" L asked kindly
The Shinigami smiled pleasantly back at L. "My name is Rem. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lawliet."
L gaped at Rem. How in the name of sugar did it know his name? – Oh, the Shinigami eyes. L remembered Ryuk explaining them. It's been only a couple months, but it seems as if it had been decades ago that L met the apple obsessed Shinigami.
"Hello, Rem. This is your notebook I take it?" L asked politely.
"Was. It was my notebook. Now it belongs to you." Rem paused, "now, the question is what are you going to do with it?"
A/N: DONE! YOSH! If you found any of that confusing just put it in your review and I'll PM you back and try to explain a little better, I just didn't want to ramble. ^.^'
But look down here and I'll try briefly to explain!
V
[MM/DD/YYYY= month, date, year (July 22, 1986)
HH: MM= hour: minute (exp: 4:38 pm)
The life span is like saying you have 2 years, 5 month, and 18 days to live. Not you'll die on July 22, 2014.]
