Unexpected

C.17

We got to California, and got in our hotel. I had my separate room while they shared, which was good for me because of the revelation I just had.

Light Yagami is Kira. The original Kira, not the copycat. Holy motherfucking shit.

This is some serious legit shit.

I unpacked for the two weeks we'd be here trying to catch this American Kira. I sat on my bed then made up my mind of what was going to happen.

I went over to the boys' room and knocked. Thankfully, Light answered. "Thank you. Need to talk to you." I said, pulling him out and going to my room.

Once we were in, I pinned him to the floor. "Why the fuck were you trying to kill me?" I asked and his eyes widened. "Huh?" He asked.

"On the plane you tried to kill me with a heart attack. That's why you asked for my name. Kira needs a name and a face to kill. You're Kira." I said softly. His features softened.

"Okay, yeah you're right. I tried to kill you, it didn't work. I'm Kira." He sighed. "Why me?" "You're a criminal. And you're also trying to catch me, which you have. But it didn't work? Why is that?" He hummed. "Oh, even an idiot could figure that out. Reiko Fujioka isn't my real name. It's an alias. And no, I'm not going to tell you my real name." I said.

"But, you know I have to tell L about this." I said, getting up, but he caught my wrist and I lost balance, falling on top of him. "No, I see the way you look at him. The way you kept sneaking glances at him on the plane. How you completely froze up when he grabbed you. You're in love with him, aren't you?" He said and I blushed wildly.

"Okay, maybe I am! But it's just a childish thing. He doesn't love me back. I'll get over it." I tried to push myself off of him, but Light held me in place. "Listen to me. I'll keep your little crush a secret if you keep my secret, okay? One slip and I spill." He said and I bit my lip before nodding. "Fine, can you let me go now-"

The door opened and L stepped through, looking confused at the scene. "Not what it looks like! Light won't let me go!" I said and suddenly Light let go of my wrists and I got up off of him. "I don't care what it looks like. You two get ready, we're going for a walk to see if we can find any info on where this Kira might be." L said and walked back out. Light winked at me as he walked out, and I was left fuming.

I changed out of my plane clothes and into a pair of shorts, a crop top, and a loosely knit cardigan that went down to the bottom of my shorts. I pulled on my Keds and did my makeup a little better before finding them in the hallway waiting for me. Phone in my back pocket, I'm set.

We walked out and around the city. "OOH ice cream!" I yelled and grabbed my boys and pulled them over. I looked over the menu and smiled. I could get what I usually get. When it was our turn, I switched to my first language. English with my Doncaster accent with touches of HRP.

"Hi! Can I get a waffle cone with one scoop strawberry, one scoop peach, and one scoop banana please?" I asked. "Sure." The worker smiled and made my cone. "Anything else for you guys?" She asked. "Sure. Waffle cone, two scoops, Neapolitan?" L said and the was made. "Light?" I asked and he just shook his head.

I paid and we thanked her and went on our way. "You and your love for ice cream..." L sighed. "I'm five years old internally! Accept it!" I laughed. He looked over at me and his eyes traced my body, which made me feel some feeling inside. "I don't know about five year olds dressing like that, H." He said amusedly. "Oh my God! Pervert!" I laughed and pushed him slightly. "You two..." Light sighed.

"What Light? What about us?" I tested him. "You two should just date already." He said. It was silent between our group so I took my phone out and began playing "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie.

That erupted laughter from the three of us. "Okay, uh Light, nice try, but I don't think L would want to date me." I said. "Why not?" L asked. "Oh God, I get mood swings so fast it's insane. Like, one minute I'll be clingy and never ever want to leave your side, and the next I don't want to see or hear from anyone for days. One second I could be horny as fuck, and the next, oh hey ice cream! And then get even worse when I'm on my period." I said and they just stared at me.

"Thank you for that information..." Light coughed. "Hey, he asked." I shrugged. "But I guess that last one is just being a girl in general. We don't have dicks, so we don't know what we need to do. It's like we feel something and it's like, 'what is it girl? Are you hungry? Do you need to pee? Do you need sex? What is it?' We never know." I shrugged. "You're very open, aren't you?" L asked. "I have no sense of privacy or embarrassment." I held my head high.

We got back to the room with no information, and I was exhausted from all that walking, so I just collapsed on my bed and fell right the fuck to sleep.
