There were many odd qualities that made up the great detective L. Take for example, the way he sat. Or the way chewed his thumb while he was thinking. Or his rather unhealthy obsession with sweets. Snow white skin, though not unhealthy looking, gave the true impression that the man almost never went outside. Dark bags under his eyes told of sleepless nights staring at a glowing computer screen. His black hair was messy but clean, as if he'd taken a shower and just shook his hair dry. His mind was one of genius, sharp as a tack. But the one quality that stood out the most about L were his eyes.
Dark onyx eyes told of hardship and wisdom. They seemed to stare into your soul and pass judgment in a second. "I've seen things," they seem to say. "That would drive you insane." Gentle, almost fragile, he looked curled up with his knees to his chest, nibbling on a strawberry. But his eyes would stop you cold in your tracks. And if he allowed you to stared long enough, you would notice that his eyes aren't completely black. Silver, hiding from the world, shone brightly but discreetly. Only shown to those who were trusted.

One look at Light Yagami was all it took to know that he was a man who got what he wanted and made things happen. And his looks and personality made those thing happen fast. Carefully groomed auburn hair that was almost never out of place. Doe caramel eyes could multiplied his emotion by ten fold. If he were angry, his eyes burned with rage. If happy, eyes would glow with pleasure and joy. Tan, healthy skin. A charming smile, straight and white teeth. And if that weren't enough, in Light's possession was the hot personalty of a movie star.
But behind the perfect face and the rock star personality, was a sensitive side to Light Yagami. A side that Light Yagami rarely ever showed to anyone other than the few people he loved. And although he would seem cold and uncaring, inside he cared. His pride was just too big for him to admit it. Light knew he was smart and knew that girls loved him. He also knew that some were jealous of him, jealous of his genius and good looks. So it was safe to say that Light's main fault was, indeed, his pride. But when it all came down, Light Yagami was your average, if not a genius, young man. A man whose ego was big, his charm unstoppable and his heart hidden away.

"LIGHT!!" Both L and Light, along with the Investigation Team, flinched as the shriek rang through the air. Somewhere ten miles off, dogs howled in pain. L swiveled in his chair to face Light who was currently connected to the detective by two yards of cold chain. "Must your girlfriend shatter our ear drums? All that screaming can be good for Amane-san's throat." Light sighed. "Crap." The young man embraced for impact and was nearly knocked to the ground by a mass of blond hair and frilly clothes.
"Oh Light! Did you miss me?! I missed you!! I was so worried cause you didn't call and you need to call Misa!!" Light gasped for breath, begin crushed by Misa's death grip. The Investigation team tried to bury themselves further into their work. They'd learn early on that Misa was best dealt with by Light. L on the other hand, either didn't know this fact or he just didn't care. Most likely the second option. Without taking his eyes off the computer screen, panda candy in hand, L spoke up. "Amane-san, if you continue to strangle Raito-kun, I'm afraid you'll be without a boyfriend in about five minutes." Misa gave L her best I-hate-you-with-a-passion glare. "Oh and you suddenly care Ryuzaki? All you care about is finding Kira!!" L nodded, unfazed by Misa's words.
"As it is my job to find and bring Kira to justice, I would hope that all my attention is on finding Kira." Sighing, L finally turned towards Misa and stared at her with his stoic gaze. "Amane-san. It would be wise to loosen your grip on your boyfriend. I'm afraid he's turning a rather alarming shade of purple." L pointed to Light who was, in fact, turning purple. The young man let out a gasp and tried to pry Misa's arms off of him. "Misa...can't...breath..." Finally, Misa noticed his struggle and, with a dramatic gasp of surprise, released Light. "Oh Light!! Are you alright?" Choking down gulps of air, Light's color slowly returned and the man regained his vision. He glared at the blond. "No I'm not okay! You almost killed me! Jeez And why are you even here? It's almost midnight." "Is it really?"
L turned to face the rest of the team. "You may all go home now. Thank you for all your hard work." Relieved sighs filled the room and the team started to pack up for the night, all eager to reach their homes and beds. While L turned back to his work, Misa, now sitting in Light's lap, frowned at the man. "No need to get upset at Misa! If Ryuzaki hadn't distracted Misa, then I would have never choked you." Light rolled his eyes and raised his hand to rub his temple. Matsuda glanced at the man and a look of pity washed over his face. 'Poor Light.' "What do you want Misa? Can't you see that we're busy?" L decided to speak up again. "Yes Amane-san. Please tell us why you've decided to grace us with your presence."
Misa glared at him again and grabbed Light's un-cuffed hand. "It's none of your business Ryuzaki, why I come to visit my boyfriend." "If I'm correct, Raito-kun is under suspect of being Kira and, thanks to the hand-cuffs, even if you wish to go on a date, I would have to come along." Misa growled at the detective and jumped from Light's lap to point an accusing finger at him. "You're such a pervert Ryuzaki! God! Can you be any more creepy?!" "I have no idea what you're talking about Amane-san." Misa growled again. "You know what I'm talking about! Handcuffing my poor Light was just your way of getting him all to yourself! You like being handcuffed to him and you know it! You're so creepy!" "Misa!" Light stood to defend L. "Will you just stop it? I'm willingly handcuffed to Ryuzaki, okay?To prove I'm not Kira, I'm handcuffed to him, you know this! None of this is his fault. Evidence was found that suggests that I'm Kira so until he is one hundred percent sure I'm not Kira, I've got to stay with him at all times. Like I've told you before: Deal with it."
It was silent after Light's speech. Everyone, including L, looked at Misa for a reaction. She looked like she was about to cry. Not wanting any part of this, the Investigation Team hurried out of the room. The silence was broken when Misa cried out, "I'm sorry Light!" She flung herself onto his neck and sobbed into his chest. "I didn't mean to make you mad! I just don't like that creep watching us! Will you ever forgive me?!" Light rolled his eyes. God, Misa could be such a drama queen! Before Light could answer though, Misa let go of him and clapped her hands together, a huge grin on her face. "I know! I'll go get you some coffee and a late snack! There's this cute little coffee shop near here that's open all the time! They make the best coffee! Misa knows Light will like it!!" Without waiting for a reply, Misa grabbed her coat! "I'll be right back!!" And with that, she dashed out of the room.
For a minute, Light just stood there. Then he groaned, the headache that normally came with Misa finally coming to him. "God she's loud." L nodded from his chair, his hands typing fast. "Thank you for standing up for me Raito-kun." Light blinked, sat back down and rubbed at his temples. "It's nothing. Her voice just gets to be too much sometimes." L glanced over at the young man. "One must wonder why you continue to be with her when she obviously causes much stress." Light shook his head. "I don't know. I mean, she is annoying, but I don't want to hurt her." Light stretched from the chair and closed his eyes, trying to bask in as much silence as he could before Misa returned.

Misa hummed her cell phone's tune as she walked into the coffee shop. "Light will be so happy once I bring him his coffee!" Misa didn't notice that she was voicing her thought out loud. "So happy that he won't be mad at Misa anymore!" A small frown replaced her silly smile as she walked to the counter. "L's so creepy. Misa knows he just wants to take advantage of my poor Light. L knows he's not Kira." When Misa reached the counter, the lone worker there smiled at her.
But Misa was completely unaware of the man sitting in a booth near the counter, watching her will an excited gleam in his dark, blue eyes. Aziz Hiraoka was a man who believed that everything happened for a reason. Fate, some would call it. Finding the Death Note had been Fate. So was finding that woman and killing her before she could go to the police. True, he had to kill off one of his puppets but things like that happened. Aziz picked up a strawberry from his plate and popped it into his mouth. Sweet. Just like the girl at the counter. He had overheard her talking and heard that she knew where L was.
More importantly, L already had a suspect. Someone named Light. 'Ah L,' he thought while rising from the table. 'Such a fool sometimes.' Misa had just finished ordering Light's coffee when a hand touched her shoulders. "Excuse me?" Misa turned around and was face to face with one of the cutest guy's she'd ever seen. Tall, with spiky black hair and big blue eyes, a flirtatious smile reached her lips. "Yes?" The man seemed embarrass, almost shy. "Well...I just noticed you walking in and thought you were really pretty and thought that maybe you'd like to have a little coffee with me?" A blush reached his face and he shook his head before Misa could answer. "I'm sorry. I normally don't do this. You're probably busy and I shouldn't have..."
"Oh no!" Misa took his hand in hers and gave him her biggest smile, all thoughts of Light and L out of her head. "I don't mind. I'd love to have some coffee with you...umm, what's your name?" "Oh. It's Aziz. Aziz Hiraoka." 'The blush on his face is so cute!' Aziz smiled softly but inside, he smirked. 'Hook, line and sinker! What an idiot. This'll be no problem.' Aziz lead Misa to his table and sat her down. "I might I ask your name?" Misa grinned like a moron and answered, "Misa Amane." Just at that moment, Misa's coffee was called up. Aziz stood up. "Let me get it."
Misa nearly swooned. 'Such a gentleman!' Aziz smiled at the worker and whispered, "Ned Motherwell." "I'm listening." Aziz smirked. He wasn't going to activate the worker. He just needed a few seconds to pour his mixture of drugs, kept in a small vial that he brought everywhere, into her coffee. As he was mixing it with a spoon, the worker shook his head slightly and smiled at Aziz again. Aziz thanked the man and walked back to the table where Misa waited. 'And the game gets a little more interesting. Misa Amane...my new puppet. You will help me drive L to the breaking point. Then no one will be able to stop Kira!'
