I still don't own death note. But I bet you didn't think I did.
Oh or twilight.
Sorry this one took longer. Also, for anyone that was worried about twilight spoilers, this will have them in a very round about way. If you don't want to know about what happens in the first twilight book/movie you might not want to read this.
OoooooOOOOoooooOOOOoooooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOooooOOOOOooooOO
If Misa knew one thing about what going to the beach entailed, it was that a tiny bikini was required.
She had several of these, and picked out a black one.
It was a shame that Light wasn't going to get to see her in it. But that was his loss.
She flounced down the stairs, and when she heard Takada beep the horn, she ran outside. Takada was driving a red sports car, and Matsuda was riding shotgun. They were both wearing wetsuits.
"Hello Misa!" Matsuda shouted cheerfully. "You have a very nice…bathing suit there."
"You are going to freeze your ass off." Takada said simply. "Do you know it's only fifty two degrees right now? The water is going to be even colder."
Misa rolled her eyes at dumb old Takada. "Misa is not going in the water because of the nessies remember?"
"What! I thought that was a joke. There's no such thing."
Misa realized she was dealing with a true idiot. She decided to speak slowly and patiently.
"Have you been to the bottom of the ocean and looked around Takada?"
"Well obviously no."
Misa smiled in a self satisfied way. "Then you do not know whether there are nessies or not."
"She's right Takada!" Matsuda chimed in. "It's not like we can be sure!"
Takada sighed. "Whatever. Just hop in back."
Matsuda leaned in to whisper to the dark haired girl. "Do I have a chance with her now?"
"Not even close." Takada responded in a normal volume.
"Damn."
OOOOoooooOOOOoooooOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOooooOOOOooooOO
When they arrived, Matsuda and Takada pulled out surfboards.
"You sure you don't want to try it Misa? It's really pretty fun." Matsuda felt bad that they were abandoning her.
"No really! Misa will just get some sun."
All three of them looked up at the sunless, cloudy sky. There was a moment of silence.
"Well, have fun." Takada ended the moment, and ran out to the waves. Matsuda reluctantly turned and followed her.
Now Misa is alone, she thought mournfully. And it was pretty cold. She decided walking around would probably warm her up.
OOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOooooOOOO
L sat on a rock by the ocean, thinking. The ocean relaxed him. It was one of the few things he didn't understand, and didn't need to.
Today though, relaxing was difficult. In addition to the Kira killings, there had been some definite vampire killings. The police thought that the victims had been mauled by an animal, but L immediately recognized a victim of the cold ones.
So now he was definitely dealing with vampires. Probably at least two, since they traveled in groups. If he were to make a guess, he would have said there were three.
Three vampires. That would be difficult.
As he was thinking this, he heard a familiar squeal.
"RYYYYUUUUUUZAAAAAKIIIIIIII!!!"
He looked up to see Misa charging him.
She launched herself on the dark haired boy, knocking him to the sand.
L blushed deeply despite himself. Did this girl have no notion of personal space?
She was completely devoted to Light now, but there was nothing wrong with being friends with Ryuuzaki. Especially when he was so warm.
"You're so hot Ryuuzaki." Misa said wonderingly, snuggling in.
L searched for a response, but none seemed neutral enough. He hastily extricated himself.
That's when he noticed that the blonde girl was shivering. So she had been referring not to his physical appearance, but his abnormally high body heat. He felt immense relief.
"Misa san will get hypothermia. The temperature has dropped to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. I strongly advise that you put on your clothes."
"I don't have any." Misa replied.
L sighed. He knew there had been an 80% chance that was the case.
He pulled off his loose white shirt, handing it to the girl.
"You can have this. I have several like it, and I'm rather resistant to the cold."
"Awww thank you Ryuuzaki! You're a really good friend!" Misa happily pulled on the shirt. It was quite warm.
She sat down beside him and watched the waves.
"So what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Thinking."
"About what?"
L saw no reason to lie. "Vampires," He replied.
"Vampires? You're into that? How adorably gothic of you!"
"I am more interested in them in a scientific and historical sense. There are many legends about them, even evidence of their existence."
Misa was very interested. "Really? How can you tell if someone is one?"
"They would have incredible strength, never eat, and their skin is cold. They are known as 'the cold ones' in some cultures for that reason."
She joined him sitting on the rock, and they talked. Well, mostly she talked and he listened. But neither of them minded it.
Eventually, Misa heard Matsuda calling.
"Misa! We're heading to the shops now!"
Misa stood.
"Bye Ryuuzaki. Thanks for the shirt."
"MmHmm."
"Oh, and Misa almost forgot. What about werewolves?"
The corners of L's mouth turned up. "Oh. Those are purely myth."
OOOooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOoooooooOOOOOoooo
Misa would have preferred that Light pick her up at her house rather than meet her at the restaurant, but when it came to Light she was flexible.
So she went into the city with Takada and Matsuda, and was patient as they shopped for prom.
"So what do you think of this one?" Takada asked about a blue dress she was trying.
"It's amazing! You look beautiful!" Matsuda said encouragingly.
"Nice." Said Misa.
Takada studied herself. "I think it makes my boobs look good am I right?"
"It so does," Matsuda agreed wholeheartedly.
Some guys walked by the window outside the store. They whistled at Takada and Misa. One of them said "hey" and winked at Matsuda.
"What rude hooligans!" Matsuda said, blushing.
"They deserve to be judged," said Takada seriously. "Now what about these shoes?"
Misa stood hastily. "Well! Not that this isn't interesting but Misa has to be meeting Light now."
"Oh okay bye!"
"See ya."
OooooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOo
After thinking at the beach, L went to the workshop to fix up some cars. A van had come in needing repair.
L had the accident report from the police station. The van had collided with a Volvo, and a girl that was in the middle of it had to have a short hospital visit.
The girl's boyfriend had witnessed the accident, and had described the event.
L took a look at the van, and frowned. This didn't look like damage from a collision with a car. There were several tiny indents, and one larger one. He wondered…
L placed his hand over the marks, spread his fingers, and gasped slightly.
It was a perfect match. This was a handprint.
Only two species in the world could have done such a thing. Only one of these would have walked away unscathed.
L immediately called in to the station, saying he needed to know the name of the girl that had been involved in the accident.
The girl was Misa Amane.
So her boyfriend…the one who had seen everything…he would have to be the-
He needed his name.
Some quick research of the list of visitors who had signed in at the hospital that day showed that Misa had had two visitors, Soichiro, and Light Yagami Cullen.
L glanced at himself in the cracked mirror of the workshop. He was nineteen, but he could pass for a high school junior easily.
That was good, because for the first time in his life, he was going to high school.
OooooooOOOOooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOooooOOOo
Misa started walking, and in no time, she was almost to the restaurant. But then she noticed the guys from the store were following her. She hurried a bit and seemed to take a wrong turn down an alley.
"Hey there cutie! Dressed like that you must be lookin for some fun.."
"What do you say we give her what she wants eh?"
"Get away from me you jerks!" Misa shouted, but they had her cornered. One of them grabbed her wrist, she kicked him, but another took his place. "No!" she shouted. "Help!"
Light's car was parked outside the alley. He was feeling conflicted. The boys approaching Misa had intentions of rape …and he had a page of the death note with him. He could write down all their names and kill so many criminals in swoop…
But that would be suspicious. He supposed he could also kill them the normal vampire way…
But that was so distasteful.
What am I thinking? I don't have to kill them with heart attacks. There's no way anyone could think this was Kira's doing. It's my job to protect the citizens…he decided finally, and because he could read their minds, he wrote down their names.
Misa was putting up quite a fuss, and just as somebody finally got a hold of her, the abandoned building behind her collapsed, and the rubble landed all around her, killing every one of her attackers.
Misa should buy a lottery ticket, she thought wonderingly.
Then she saw Light running towards her, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Misa! What just happened? Are you hurt?" As he spoke Light surveyed his handiwork. The death note was always so interesting. And it had worked perfectly once again, in epic fashion.
Misa sobbed, throwing her arms around him.
"Light I was so scared that they were going to hurt me! I'm glad you're here now."
"Yes I'm here." He said soothingly. Shall we go to the restaurant now?"
"Sure." Misa said happily. She was over her ordeal. No point in dwelling on it.
They stepped carefully over the dead bodies as they made their way to the eatery.
OoooooOOOOoooooooOOOooooooOOOOoooooooOOoooooooOOOoooooO
They entered the expensive restaurant. Light was worried there wouldn't be any good tables left, but there were, and relief washed over him in an awesome wave.
He didn't order anything to eat. He was managing to drink a coffee, the bitter taste was not too unlike blood, and he could get it down.
Misa was struggling to eat long spaghetti with a spoon. Honestly, these American eating utensils were ridiculous. But of course she noticed her date hadn't even touched the bread basket.
"Why aren't you eating anything Light?'
"I'm trying to lose a few pounds Misa."
"But you're so thin already!"
"You can always be thinner, look better."
"Well I don't think so. I don't think you could look any better than you do now. But I'd love you no matter what. Just don't get too thin and get sick." Misa advised sternly. She grabbed for his hand to emphasize her devotion, then froze.
His skin was so cold.
Misa's thoughts were racing. How had she not noticed before? She always touched people. But it had been through his clothes, and she hadn't felt the chill.
Suddenly everything was coming together. His habit of never eating, his strength, even his sexiness.
It all added up.
She was dating a vampire.
This was so exciting Misa could barely sit still.
"Liiiiight," she said playfully. "Misa knows a secret."
"Well perhaps you should keep it to yourself Misa. That is the point of a secret." He was in no mood for girlish gossip. He was never in the mood for that actually.
Misa was not deterred. "I'm going to whisper it…lean in."
Light sighed and leaned over to her side of the table.
Suddenly, she kissed him quickly on the lips, then leaned back and giggled. "Misa got you!" She smiled. "Oh and you're a vampire."
Light spit out his coffee. He gritted his teeth and stared at Misa.
"Keep your voice down!"
"Misa knew it. Don't be upset Light, Misa is so into that."
How had she known? It wasn't as if he had been gulping down blood in front of her! She must have known all the signs…all the little hints that he couldn't help but give away.
Should he try and deny it? No. That was too suspicious. She knew now, and he had to either kill her or make sure she was an ally.
"We're leaving Misa. I've assessed the situation, and we're leaving."
"O-okay Light-"
But he had already grabbed her by the hand, and was pulling her out to the car. When they were in and he was driving, he spoke to her.
"You can't tell anyone about this."
"I would never!" She thought guiltily of Ryuuzaki, but her loyalty was first and foremost with Light.
"You realize if you did tell, I would be killed slowly and painfully. The villagers would drive a stake through my heart, or burn me alive in the town square."
Of course this was nonsense but he knew Misa well enough to realize she would never want to cause him pain.
"Light I swear I'll never tell! I don't want anything to happen to you! I want to be a vampire too! Can you make me into one? Then we could be together forever!" Misa was so hoping he'd say yes. It would be horrible for her to get old while he stayed young and beautiful and perfect.
Light was stunned by the question, but it was actually a good plan. If Misa were a vampire herself she'd have to keep the secret…and then he would have a powerful ally.
"I'll think about it Misa," he replied honestly.
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much Light!" Misa wanted to bounce up and down, or pounce on him, but she quickly reminded herself that he was driving.
Far too quickly, they had reached her house.
"Good night Misa. I'll see you tomorrow."
He leaned in and kissed her chastely on the lips.
Misa drifted into lala land.
"Remember now Misa, not a word."
"Of course, yes, hmm," Misa replied, walking to her front door in a wonderful haze.
How had she ever thought Forks was boring?
OoooooOOOOoooooooOOOOooooooOOOooooooOOOOooooOOOo
In biology the next day, Misa and Light were preparing to work on a lab, when the door opened.
A slim boy in dressed in jeans and a loose white shirt had slouchingly entered.
"I believe I am in this class."
Mr. Mogi stood. "Oh, you must be the other new student. Everyone, this is Ryuuzaki."
L nodded to the students.
"I'm afraid that everyone is evenly paired up, but you can either make a group of three, or work on your own."
"I will work alone."
"Sure. Sit where you like."
L looked at Misa, and smiled in acknowledgement. He then turned his gaze to the boy next to her, steadily meeting golden eyes.
Light had forgotten that for the sake of appearances, he had to breathe.
He had never really been tempted to take a human's blood, he drank the blood Mikami gave him and was satisfied.
Until this moment.
He could smell the boy's blood, so sweet, so hot. What's wrong with me? Please don't sit near me… he silently begged.
But of course, the wild haired newcomer sat down right next to him.
"Ah-" Light gasped, tensing immediately.
"Hello Misa." L said quietly.
"Hi Ryuuzaki!" Misa said cheerfully. "It's so awesome that you're coming to our school. You'll have to sit with us at lunch!"
Light had forgotten Misa was there. He should have known. She was always there.
The other boy was mere inches away from him, and spoke to him next.
"And you are?" The words rolled off his tongue so calmly. Light wondered what he would sound like if he only knew that the person sitting next to him was barely resisting the urge to throw him against the wall and take his blood right here in the classroom.
Oh god don't think about it…
"I'm Light. Good to meet you, Ryuuzaki." Light had managed to sound fairly natural. He was extremely grateful for his supreme self control.
Right after this class I'm heading to the hospital. I definitely need blood.
"I think it's good to meet you too Light." Ryuuzaki had managed to perch on the tiny lab stool, his thumb at his lips as he watched Light out of the corner of his eye.
"Today we'll be making an oxidized reduction," Mr. Mogi announced. The materials are in front of you, whoever finishes first gets the golden carrot."
Light tried to focus on the assignment. He had to finish first once again."
"Light, could you pass me the hydrochloric acid?' Ryuuzaki asked.
"Sure," Light gritted his teeth and started to nudge the bottle towards the boy.
But L reached for it and brushed Light's fingers.
Light froze, completely tense. The heat was too much. You are in control Light, you are.
L's theory was confirmed by the touch. Light's fingers were cold as only a vampire's could be.
"Finished." L announced.
What? This new boy had finished before him! He distracted me! Ugh what was he thinking. The dark eyed boy had no idea how distracting he was.
"Good job Ryuuzaki." Mr. Mogi commended him. "The golden carrot is yours." L took it with a puzzled expression.
"You…you beat me." Light said quietly.
L turned to him, surprised. "Oh, did you want this? I have no use for it."
"No, no, I am not envious." Light said hastily.
"In that case, it's yours Misa." L handed the brassy root to her.
"Thank you!" Misa said happily. She never even worked in this class and she was amassing a collection of prizes.
The bell finally rang, and Light sprang from his seat and away from the temptation.
"Now we proceed to lunch yes?" L asked Misa.
"Yeah. Come on Light!"
"I have to visit Mikami. I'll see you later."
"Yes, I actually need to talk to you about something Light." L said.
"Yes, anything, later," and Light hurried out.
Talk to him about something…what could he have to talk to him about?
It was at that moment that Light realized he could not read Ryuuzaki's thoughts.
OOooooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOO
Okay I actually have most of the next chapter written already! In it is the famous twilight bedroom scene! But who will it be with? No one knows! Oh wait I do! And I bet you can guess.
Can anyone guess the other sexy serial killer that Light quotes a few times in this chapter? I'll send a cookie to anyone that gets it.
Review! And maybe I'll post the next chapter today!
PS. An oxidized reduction in chem is bs. I don't feel like looking up actual chemistry. For all I know that would blow the roof off. Also, why does Misa get L's shirt! I am so jealous! Haha.
