Just want to let you know that if you're very good at writing, and think this is poorly written I will more than gladly take constructive criticism! aaannnddd yeah… I still don't own Death Note :/ Also! can you guys tell when the lines are in thought? If the italics aren't in quotations then They're Rei's thoughts. Did that make any sense? I hope it did . Enjoy ^-^

P.S. for a description of Rei. She has long auburn hair. Side bangs and shes skinny but not anorexic skinny… pale, green eyes, short. So far she's been wearing jean shorts, and loose white v neck with black converse low tops. And she has a little tattoo of love in Japanese on her lower back toward the right side. I can also assure you that she isn't a tramp -_-

On with this after my rambles!

Chapter 2

A Love For Apples

Ryuk looked around for a minute trying to see if maybe there was someone behind him that I was talking to. He looked back at me and stared for a moment. " You talkin to me?" Ryuk said to me in his scratchy, voice. "Yup," I stated dryly "Pleased to meet you Ryuk." Ryuk looked at me blankly for a moment. "So you aren't … scared? Humans surprise me every day." I let out a small chuckle at his remark, Light was standing there like an annoyed to death statue. "I like you Ryuk! I'll have to get you some apples!" I swear his face lit up to my remark. "Hey Light, I like this human. I say we keep her!" Light looked back at Ryuk for a moment. "There are some apples next door. Go get yourself some." Ryuk shrugged and left the room through the door. Literally. "See ya!" Odd. "Uhm… Light?" I asked a bit awkwardly as I realized he was still in only a towel. "Yeah?" Such a smooth voice... Focus! "You… You're uh…" I began blushing. I pointed down toward the white towel around the waist of the man standing in front of me. "Don't you think that you should put some clothes on?" Damn! Why is this so awkward?! Light crossed his arms and grinned a bit. "Come on; don't act like you don't like what you see." While that was true, I sure as hell wasn't about to let him know that! I looked away with my blushing face that of course at this point surely looked like a tomato with facial features. "You arrogant bastard! You think that every girl on this planet thinks that you're sooo attractive. Well guess what?! I'm disgusted by this whole situation!" I crossed my arms and turned around now completely facing away from light. Before I knew it he had snuck up behind me. He leaned down close to my ear and spoke quietly but not quite a whisper. "If you're so disgusted then why are you blushing?" I froze as I felt his hot breath against my neck. His toned body was pressed against me. It felt amazing. Wow… he smells nice. Once I shot back to reality I turned around and slapped him away from me. "Geez! You are such a creep!" I shouted as I rossed my arms and turned my head away. "What are you waiting for?" light asked nonchalantly, as those the previous incident had never happened. "huh?" I wasn't sure what Light was talking about. "Are you gonna leave my room so I can put some clothes on? I'm kind of cold." He said as he pulled a pair of khaki dress pants out of the dresser next to his bed. I blushed a little bit at that remark. "Oh. Uh yeah, of course." I said walking out of his bedroom door shutting it behind me. I sighed and leaned back against the wooden door. "I wonder what point of the show I'm at. I don't think he knows who l is yet," I sighed again. "How long am I going to be here?" I asked in a whisper to myself.

Suddenly, after a few minutes passed Light opened the door and of course, I went falling back. Ouch. I hit the floor. "You could have caught me you jerk!" He let out a slight chuckle. "How was I supposed to know you were leaning against my door?" I scowled at him for a second before I got up. "Anyways, I have my graduation ceremony in a couple of hours. What you're currently wearing is pretty inappropriate for an event like that." I looked down at myself. I was wearing short, distressed jean shorts, a white v neck t shirt and black low tops. "Why the hell do I have to go?"

"I don't want you out of my sight." Wait a second… if this is Lights graduation ceremony then that would mean L is going to be there. This could work to my advantage. "Fine. I'll go. But I'm wearing this. No arguments about it." I said crossing my arms and looking away. Light sighed in defeat. "Fine. Just sit in the back." Well that was rude.

A couple hours had passed and Light and I were walking into the place where the ceremony was going to take place. I was following closely behind him. "So light, where is your family? Surely they're coming." I asked although I knew they were going to be here. "My parents are here, but my younger sister" I cut him off. "Your younger sister Sayu." He suddenly stopped and turned to me. He gripped tightly around my shoulders. I can't say that he wasn't intimidating. No matter how physically attractive he is to me. His voice got really low. "How do you know so much about me and my family?" There was a slight tone of anger in his voice. "Look, if it's bothering you so much then I'll tell you when we get back up to your house so nobody hears and decides that I'm completely insane and puts me in an asylum." I stated in a raised whisper. "Fine. I have to go now since I had the top test scores in the class. Just stay here until they start letting guests into the auditorium for the ceremony. I'll see you in a little bit." Light said. He can be surprisingly pleasant at times. "So you trust me to not be under your watch for a little bit?" I said a bit sarcastically with a grin. "Should I not?" He asked. "Don't worry I'll behave ya control freak." I could've sworn I saw a light grin on his face as if he was laughing inside.

After Light left me alone in the courtyard of the school campus I started wandering around bored. I was walking while looking down at my feet, a bad habit I always had, when I ran into somebody. They must have been quite a bit bigger than me because I was knocked onto my butt. "Ouch! I looked up to see two wide deep onyx eyes staring in a bit of confusion. "Pardon me." A deep, dry, smooth voice spoke. To me? My mouth dropped in disbelief at who was standing before me. No way… I blushed once I realized who was standing in front of me in his signature hunched over form. "Are you alright ma'am? I do apologize." He said. "Oh. I'm… I'm fine." I said still in a little bit of disbelief. "Well if all is well then I really should be going." L started walking past me. I stood up quickly, turned and grabbed his white sleeve. He stopped and turned slightly to me. "Can I help you?" His tone was so dry, so straight, and yet still so smooth. Maybe I could try saving him… "Um.. yes actually… More like can I help you… May I speak with you in private?" I asked shyly. "I suppose I have a few minutes to spare. Follow me." I followed L's hunched over form to an empty classroom. My thoughts were beginning to go into the gutter. He's so yummy. He shut the door behind him. It turned out Watari was following us the whole time so he stood outside the door to stand guard for us. Of course mostly protecting L. No doubt I seemed suspicious. Before L could say anything I spoke. "Look… I know you're L… I know the man outside the door is Quillish Wammy, founder of the wammy house, and I know Light Yagami is no doubt Kira." He stared. He brought his thumb to his lip and chewed. He is the most adorably sexy thing ever. "What brings you to these assumptions? I don't believe that we've ever met before. How do I know that you are not Kira?" Damn. I'm gonna be a suspect… "I know your name and face. If I were Kira I would have killed you already." He still stared, deep in thought while he chewed on the tip of his thumb. "I see. Well as much as I would enjoy continuing this conversation this is neither the time nor place," He looked towards the door. "Watari?"

"Yes Ryuzaki?" The old man responded. "Could you transport this young woman to the hotel we are currently staying at? I would like to continue this somewhere less public."

"Very well sir. If you could come with me miss…" He paused. "Riley, sir." I said giving a slight bow toward the old man. "Alright then, miss Riley." He smiled. Such a warm smile. "Just Riley please." I smiled at Watari and then I turned to L. "I know that you had planned on telling light that you're L at the ceremony, but please don't. I'll explain everything later." With that I left with Watari. Light's gonna be pissed when he finds out that I left… Oh well.

A few hours had passed since Watari and I got back to the large hotel suite. I sat, layed down, stared, and was straight up bored the entire time except for the slight conversations Watari brought up. He said that I seemed like a lovely young lady and that he thought I was trustworthy. Such a kind old man he was. Just as I always imagined him to be.

(For the rest of this chapter I'm going to experiment with third person. Between first, which I have been using, and third, I'm going to decide which I like writing in better and the one that I like the most will be what I do the rest of this story in)

L finally arrived after the seemingly endless wait. Rei was beginning to grow impatient. The boredom was really beginning to get to her, so much that L walked in only to see her hanging upside down on the back of the couch. Of course she did notice as soon as she walked into the spacious suite that it was the room was the temporary place where the taskforce worked in the show. "May I ask what exactly it is that you are doing?" Rei heard his dry voice and got up quickly to sit on the couch correctly. "Sorry… I was just bored is all…" She sighed. It was a very awkward moment for Rei. L just looked emotionless. "I see. Now what was it you wished to speak with me about Miss Riley?" L said as he sat on the large, plush chair across from Rei in his usual crouch. "Well… I'm almost completely sure that you won't believe me, and you'll think I'm absolutely insane, but," she sighed. "here goes nothing…" Rei began explaining to her beloved L about how she knew Light was Kira, how he killed, and all about how the Death Note worked. L sat and listened to every word that she said surprisingly. He was so focused in Rei's speech, sitting in his crouch chewing on his thumb so intently. "I know you must think that I am completely insane right now but I know how this story ends. I know who dies and who lives. Who wins and who loses. When I realized that I was in this world I thought that maybe I could save your life and the world from Kira. I honestly don't want to tell you everything because the future is supposed to be unknown. I just really wanted to warn you and…" She started blushing and looked down as she twiddled her thumbs awkwardly. "I really don't want to see you get killed. Lawliet." At the sound of that name L's eyes widened. His thumb hovered over his slightly agape mouth. "You just called me… Lawliet…" L mumbled behind his thumb with his emotionless expression. He was shocked and deep down it made him happy to hear somebody call him by his true name after years of being the great detective L. It made him feel more… human. "This girl… Riley… Who is she exactly and why would she have come here… So mysterious, yet there is something about her… " L thought to himself. "Yes. I do find your words 'insane' however, in 1% chance that all of the information that you just gave me is true then you could very well be beneficial in solving this case. Mind you, I cannot fully trust you as of yet. Surely you understand this Miss Riley." L stated monotonously. Rei stood up and slightly bowed the hint of a blush still remained on her pale face. "I understand but I still want to let you know that I'm on your side all the way, and I hope that we get the chance to speak again soon. Right now though, before it gets any later I need to get back to Light's house. He's probably already pissed to the max that I left the graduation when he specifically told me not to." Rei was starting to get a little bit nervous. She knew that she couldn't be killed by the Death Note since Light didn't know her real name, but she wasn't sure how far Light was willing to go. While he never seemed to physically kill anybody in the show, that didn't mean he wouldn't. L stood. "Hmm." He got so close to Rei that she could smell the strawbaerry cake he had most likely been eating earlier on his breath. Again Rei blushed due to the closeness of her crush. "You're about Mr. Light Yagami's age aren't you? Maybe.. 17 if I had to guess?" He backed up after stating his observation. "18 actually. So yes." He looked deep in thought with his never ending habit of biting the tip of his pale thumb. "He is a male, and by the looks of it you are a female am I correct in assuming this?" The blush on Rei's cheeks darkened. She was like a cherry now. "Wait… does that mean he was looking at my… at my boobs? No of course not Rei… There are other ways to tell if someone is a female… get your mind out of the gutter…" Rei's mind was beginning to get sidetracked. "Um… Ye… yeah. W-why?" She asked nervously. It isn't everyday one gets to interact with their anime hunk crush in person. L "Perhaps you could be beneficial in keeping Light from 'dating' this second Kira that you spoke of earlier, along with distracting Light Yagami long enough to get a hold of this 'Death Note' that you spoke of as well. If I am not mistaken you and Light are at a stage in life where hormones tend to take over thoughts, and rational thinking, and I'm sure that this would apply to him. After all he still is a normal teenage boy. I would like you to get close to Light. Act 'interested' in him ona romantic level. Bring his walls down and distract him." Was he nuts?! "How the hell do you expect me to seduce a psychopath that already doesn't trust me?!" L began walking towards the door as Rei followed. "A beautiful young woman such as yourself should have no problem attracting a person of the same age, and opposite sex. Now I have some business to attend to. As nice as this little escapade was it is time for us to part ways for now. Come back here at noon in 2 days to let me know how things are going." Rei stepped out the door. She couldn't believe how pushy this guy was. Still sexy, but pushy. "Ok then…" She said to herself as L shut the door.

So there's chapter two! I'm getting used to this whole writing thing! It would be so super awesome if you could draw some fan art of Rei! There's a description of her up top in this chapter! Email your drawings to ffhcl1224 for now until I get around to making a deviantart. Rate and review! Constructive criticism is always welcome! Oh and Light or L? Who do you want Rei to end up with if she ends up with either? ^-^

That email address is with google btw….
