Her First Case
January 7, 2011
[Author' s Note: In my fanverse (and this universe) L and Light, and Matt and Mellow are together. L and Light had a daughter named Yoshi during the time skip (I'll eventually write the story as to how they got together). Matt and Mellow had twin daughters who are the same age as Yoshi during the time skip; Aiko who's like Mellow, and Kiyoshi who's like Matt, also during the time skip. Misa had a one-night stand with a guy she met at a bar and had a daughter she named (Mini) Misa who's the same age as the others. Other than the background story above, it's not very slash-heavy.]
~Japanese Special Force on Kira HQ~
The Kira case had ended months ago; Yoshi, Kiyoshi and Aiko had caught the Yotsuba Kira and Mikami [I will eventually write out that story], but Head Quarters was still busy. L was sitting front of the computer looking for cases to occupy his time, Light was cooking a meal big enough for 8, though he was probably going to be the only eating it, Mellow was eating chocolate while watching Matt game, and the kids and Matsuda were in a heated discussion of sorts.
Light finished preparing dinner and put the food in the oven. He then walked over to L, picking up the paper as he walked. He sat down in one of the swivel chairs next to L's and began reading the front page.
"L!" Light looked up at him from the paper, L looked back, startled away from his search, "I found an ad asking for a detective, I thought you might be interested." He messed with his friend's already messy hair.
"It seems interesting enough." L chewed his thumb in that thoughtful way of his, and readjusted his position on the chair.
"What's it say?" The young detective, Yoshi asked, she, Aiko, and Kiyoshi also gathered around. Yoshi had become a full fledged detective working with L when she solved the Kira case with her friends,
"The Mystery of A Lifetime!" It said in big letters at the top, and then continued in smaller letters "Detective(s) wanted! High stakes and high pay! Reply as soon as you can with your name (and title if applicable) on the back of the ad."
L nodded and wrote "L" on the back of the advertisement, still suspicious of anything asking him for his name from the Kira case, he then handed it to Yoshi, who wrote her alias on the card as well. They waited impatiently, wondering what would happen after the names were written.
They waited for a few moments, then, just as they were giving up hope that it was a real case Watari walked up the stairs with me in tow. "This lady says that she has a meeting with you." He looked at L and Yoshi.
"And you are?" L asked tentatively, social skills not being his specialty.
"I'm called V; I'm the one who put out the ad you replied to, I got here as quickly as I could."
"So you're here to explain the case?" Yoshi interrupted impatiently.
"Yes, that's what I'm here to do, are you all participating on their team?" I looked around at all of those gathered. L nodded in reply.
"I might as well fill you all in then. First, just so you're all aware, you are not the only detectives I have put on the case, I do need to make sure it gets solved and the problem stopped after all. Some of which are geniuses and professionals like you," I nodded to L and Yoshi "while some others are mere children who signed up by accident and then refuse to back out. Now that that's taken care of… now time for the real case details."
I took a deep breath then continued "Throughout the world myths and legends have been appearing to come to life, causing a lot of chaos at the sites that has promptly been hushed. People have been killed and the public is starting to get suspicious. I have a feeling that a group of people are behind this, so I've set out trying to find the best detectives out there to find out who's doing it and why. Would you, L, and Yoshi, be willing to take up this case?"
"Definitely!" Yoshi announced determinedly as L merely nodded, already thinking about the little information I had given and was formulating a starting plan.
"Okay, here are the locations and witness reports, and all other information gathered about the strange happenings of late. Also you are free to visit any of the locations at any time and visit or call the witnesses only during the hours they specified on their report. Got it?" I handed L a flash drive containing the information.
There was a chorus of yeses from everyone gathered.
"Good! If you need any assistance on the case then I'd be the person to call. That said, I guess it's time to leave you to dinner and the case." I remarked, referring to Raito's cooking that smelled pretty good to me. [Yes I know I switch between calling him "Light" and "Raito", that's just what I do]
