Question

Aiko groaned as she felt the Sun's light warming her skin, she opened her eyes halfway. She yawned, sitting up and rubbed her eyes. The girl got up and looked at the third door to her room, she opened it to found out in it was a bathroom. Quickly the girl began brushing her teeth, she acted normal to be in the house of a stranger. Aiko left the bathroom and to the hallway walking down the steps after walking to the end of the hallway, she looked around and she found him. L was sitting there, propped up in his seat, his legs tucked into his chest securely, biting his thumbnail as he stared up at her with a rather shocked expression passing over his pale face.

"Good morning." He smiled, she found him creepy and that would never change.

Aiko walked over and sat across from him. Smelling the aroma of his tea, it was green tea. "Good morning." She did not smile, she had no reason to, right? He took a sip of his over-sweetened tea and eyed the girl intensely, making her uncomfortable.

"So. . .no breakfast huh?" Aiko frowned, she could feel her stomach grumbling.

L arched an eyebrow, "You could make some, if your so hungry." He then looked at a newspaper. Aiko sat up from the table, a bit annoyed.

"Fine." The sixteen year old huffed.

Aiko placed a plate of four strawberry pancakes in between them. L tilted his head, surprised the girl actually did cook. She had a small bowl of strawberries beside it with syrup. He wanted to see how she ate hers before preparing his own plate. Aiko placed two pancakes on her plate, she then placed three strawberries in a circle, trying to be creative. She poured syrup over the pancakes, chocolate syrup. L licked his lips, it was like eating a cake. Aiko blinked a few times as she noticed how he stared intensely at her food, she moved the plate towards him. A small smile on her face.

"Here Ryuuzaki-sama. You can have mine, I'll just make mines over. No buts either." Aiko began fixing her plate. L was shocked, the girl actually showed a smile and was a bit more livelier then she was yesterday.

"Thank you." L nodded before biting the chocolate covered strawberries. When Aiko finished making her new plate, L looked at his empty plate and then back at hers. Aiko slammed her head on the table causing L's face to show shock. "What's wrong Aiko?" He asked as she shook her head.

"I just realized I'm not hungry, I want something like. Maybe an apple." Aiko laughed nervously, "Have my plate, I don't want my hard work to go to waste. I'm glad you like it though." L smiled and happily stuck his fork in the strawberries and into the strawberry filled pancakes. Aiko went into what looked like the living room while biting her apple. L followed the girl silently, peeking his head out the doorway. He wanted to watch her actions 24/7. He wanted to see how she progressed would she go down the right path? Or back to the path of broken laws. L sat next to her on the couch, in his normal sitting position. Aiko looked at him from the corner of her eyes. 'Child Molester.' The voice inside her head rung. 'Any day now he'll show his true colors. Just like Mr. Naginaba'

L looked over at the young girl, to be so young her body was of an adult and so was her fragile mind. "Am I annoying you?" He asked, Aiko was shocked and look at him and shook her head slowly.

"No, why did you ask?" She turned on the t.v. and flipped through channels.

"No reason." He smiled, Aiko found him mysterious and the more she talked to him, the more curious she became.

Aiko smiled at him, it made L question what her motives were. She rarely smiled since he met her, "Thank you, Ryuuzaki-sama."

L blinked a few times, "You just thanked me?" He wondered as she nodded.

"Hai, I just thanked you." Aiko giggled as L nodded. 'Strange girl indeed.' L stood up and walked out the living room, ready to head out the front door. "Where are you going?" She asked as he opened the door.

"Work." He closed the door behind him. Aiko sighed, she was in a big home and all alone.

&

L yawned as he opened the front door, Light and Misa were following right behind him.

"Misa-Misa thinks Aiko-chan was kawaii, is she awake?" The blond idol asked the pale man, who nodded with a smile.

L sat down at a chair. "She's probably watching t.v. typical of a girl her age and who is on probation." He watched as Misa immediately ran to the living room.

"Your so kind, Ryuuzaki." Light teased as the onyx eyed man rolled his eyes. L had made himself some tea and over-sweetened it before sitting back down.

"I am doing this for I feel sad for the girl, you do not know the fact she had so bravely told me. I looked into her records and her mother is dead, and her father passed years ago." L was sitting there, propped up in his seat, his legs tucked into his chest securely, biting his thumbnail as he stared at the table with a rather calm expression passing over his pale face. Light just sighed as he heard Ryuk chuckling in the background and Rem groaning in discomfort for she hated L as well.

Misa was giggling as Aiko screamed, "KYAH! MISA-SAMA THIS OUTFIT IS TOO MUCH!" The sixteen year old girl screamed as Light and L looked at each other in a confused manner. Misa pushed Aiko into the room, Aiko was wearing a tight brassier like top, jean shorts, and black pumps. L coughed up his tea as Light chuckled. Aiko's face flushed red from embarrasment as her bangs covered her sapphire blue eyes.

"Misa, place her in normal clothes. Matter a fact I'll give her money to shop that is certaintly not going to work." L looked at the two girls from the corner of his eyes.

"I-I-I can't breathe, Misa-sama." Aiko coughed fromt he tight brassier.

Misa giggled, "That's because Aiko-chama has bigger breasts then me." L choked on his tea as L tilted the chair back, laughing ferociously.

"MISA-SAMA!!" Aiko screamed.

&

Aiko had the blankets over her head. 'This was the worse day of my entire life.' Aiko whined as she heard the door open.

"Are you okay, Aiko-chan?" L asked as Aiko pulled the blankets down, she nodded her head slowly. "Gomen-nasai about Misa, I didn't know she would act like that." L laughed nervously as Aiko scratched her cheek.

"Riiight." Aiko stretched as she laid back down.

"Yeah. . .well, I'm going to bed, oyasuminai." L nodded before closing the door behind him.

"He hasn't done anything yet. . .why is he so nice to me?" Aiko questioned out loud before lying down to rest.

&

Aiko woke up early in the morning and made L strawberry pancake, she smiled at her artwork.

"I hope he loves them again." Aiko giggled, she felt like a housewife, someone very important and useful. L came down stairs, washing in his favorite outfit. He smiled as he noticed he pancakes.

"This time I made them more cake like, chocolate chips and I made you some coffee I think I made it sweet enough." Aiko skipped to the kitchen and got the hot white cup, placing it on the small plate next to the pancakes.

"You didn't have to do this for me, Aiko-chan." His onyx eyes met her sapphire ones.

Aiko's midnight black hair swayed along with her movements, "No. I owe you, I would be in jail if it weren't for you or dead in that matter. I owe you my life." Aiko left as L smiled, this girl was getting close to him but he knew she couldn't live with him forever.

Write a good review and stay tuned.
