LEAFING

Why the infamous L needed her help, was still unclear to Ryouko. He did not exactly explain to her what she was actually doing in the mission. Well, she knew it had something to do with the heart attacks going around the world, that much she could piece it together. She had been doing research on her own, following the case in her spare time, looking up things online. It wasn't everyday that Ryouko showed interest in anything enough to research about it and keep up with it. But then again it wasn't everyday when a mass murderer was loose with the ability to kill people from a distance with heart attacks.

But how had L found her was a complete mystery. She's a very cautious person, and that was mainly because of where she grew up…

"When are we leaving then, Ryuzaki" Chibi asked, only slightly emphasizing the name Ryuzaki. Ryouko stopped her train of thought and looked at the ninja.

Chibi did not like calling L, Ryuzaki. It was not his name. Of course then L could argue that Chibi was not Chibi's actual name (it happened before.)

"You two will leave soon to the location enclosed in this envelope" L was not carrying anything in his hand that resembled an envelope.

"Um….what envelope?" Chibi asked looking at the detective's empty hands. When she said it, L took out the envelope from under his shirt.

"This envelope" he said. Chibi mentally hit her head. L and his quirks. She didn't even ask why the packet was under his shirt. He would probably say for safety reasons.

The detective handed the information to Ryouko. "Read this and then burn it" the raven haired man instructed. Ryouko merely nodded.

"I will be leaving you two to your mission," L said and with that he swiftly turned around and walked towards the village again. Without thinking it, Chibi took a step towards L. Ryouko raised an eyebrow in question at Chibi's action.

Chibi did not want him to leave again. It had just been a while ago that she had seen him, had hugged him, and talked to him. It wasn't fair that they had to part ways again. She did not want to say bye to her brother, not yet.

L had heard the one step from behind him and stopped walking. With his back turned to both teens, he spoke.

"Ryouko, Chibi….take care of one another. This mission is very dangerous; do not do anything that will put your lives in danger. I will be assisting you as well but from afar, so do not think you are alone in this" L tilted his head so that his right eye could see Ryouko and Chibi. Ryouko just nodded her head in understanding. A smile slowly formed on Chibi's face and then formed to a grin.

"Yes, sir!" Chibi said and did a mock salute to L. Her brother turned his head and continued to stroll away.

Ryouko and Chibi did not see was the smile on L's face as he walked back.

"So, Ryouko..." Chibi started. But Ryouko did not turn around to Chibi's call. She was busy reading the instructions L had given them.

"Ryouko?..."

Nothing.

Chibi coughed loudly and again repeated "Ryouko."

The gunner finally pealing her eyes off the paper looked at Chibi. She paused.

"Yes?" Ryouko asked.

Chibi opened her mouth but forgot what she was going to say because she was too busy thinking of a way to get her partner's attention. "…we're going to need to do something about that" Chibi finally said.

"About what?" Ryouko responded going back to reading.

Chibi took the paper away from Ryouko's hands. "Your name" Chibi said.

"What about my name?" Ryouko asked and actually took the paper back from Chibi's hands.

Chibi took it away again and hit it behind her back. She looked at Ryouko who seemed a little more than annoyed from the fact that the paper was taken away from her.

"It's not yours is it?" Chibi asked.

Ryouko folded her arms across her chest "What's not mine?"

"Your name" and Chibi started to run away. Ryouko had made a jump at her to take the paper but Chibi had seen her coming. Both now ran, distancing themselves from the village hidden in the leaf with Chibi's laughs echoing in the air.

"But…Chibi? Why her?" Sasuke asked yet again while pacing in the hokage's office. And Naruto did not answer him, nor did Sasuke expect him to, the question wasn't directed at him anyways. As he paced his gaze want towards the strange figure by the door. It was a man in a hat and cloak. He was Ryuzaki's helper, or so L himself had introduced him as. Naruto turned in his hokage chair to look out the windows. When he did he saw two figures running into the distance from the gates. The hokage smiled, 'Good luck.'

A/N: probably this be filler -_-'

You know what I just realized? L lied, he said he'd explain everything when the THREE of them were in front of him, but currently there was only two *ponders*
