Disclaimer: I have not, nor will I ever own anything relating to the idea, copyright, persons/characters and creation of Death Note. The only thing I own is Michiko Nakashima, a character of my own creation.
Authors Note: I do use some of L's other aliases in the story. If you get confused, go to the Death Note Wiki or just look up L on Wikipedia to get a background on his aliases. I won't go into too much background with those names and their uses. Also, L is 29 years old in this story. So yes, we can consider it AU. Please review with constructive criticism. I would also like unadulterated praise, if it is available. :)
Chapter 1
"Hey! Michi! Over here, space cadet!"
Michiko turned her head towards the sound of her nickname. Her friend Ty Sato and his girlfriend Ana Kim had finally pulled up to the curb of Hokkaido Airport. After waiting at the curb for over three hours, Michi was finally ready to get going. She closed her Nook and began to push her luggage cart towards the minivan. She began thanking the gods for the fact that she had friends who were in 'successful' bands. At least they made enough money from their gigs to put towards the upkeep of their 1999 Suzuki Every. The minivan had certainly seen better days, but at least there was enough room for Michi's minimal luggage. Before they even had a chance to park, Ty hopped out of the passengers side window and barreled towards Michi for a bear hug.
"How are you, stranger?! You've gotten so big!" Ty joked as he picked up Michi's five foot five inch frame. Michi laughed as she hugged Ty back. She was so proud to call this former linebacker teddy bear her brother, even if they were not related by blood. As Ty set Michi back on dry land, she ran to hug Ana. As Ana and Michi giggled and hugged, Ty threw the bags into the van, giving the girls time to catch up.
Michi had met Ty and Ana back in high school, when they had come over from Japan as exchange students. Ana had lived at Michi's house for that time, making her Michi's adopted sister (in Michi's parents eyes). Over the years that the friends were in college, they kept in touch via video chat and constant emails. It was through one of those video chats that Michi had convinced Ty to ask Ana out for a movie. The rest was 'history', if you call a one-year dating period history. The two had already moved into a quaint (i.e., small) apartment in Meguro area of Tokyo. Michi would be crashing on their fold out couch until she could get on her feet with her new job.
Michi crawled into the backseat and buckled in as Ty jumped back into the passengers seat via the window. Ty explained that the bolts on the door were loose and he did not want to risk having the door fall off whenever he opened it. Michi didn't believe it for a moment. She knew how lazy Ty was. Ana hopped into the drivers seat and put the car in idle as they waited for a break in the traffic.
"So Michi? Tell us all about this job of yours." Ana turned around in her seat to look at her friend.
"There isn't much to tell. I will just be working as a translator for the National Police Agency in Tokyo. It's nothing much, really."
"Oh no. It's a big thing." Ana pushed a stray hair out of her eyes before she continued, "Most English speaking tourists only know very basic Japanese and they freak out if they get arrested. Having someone there who can speak unaccented English will be a great comfort to them and will help get their point across clearer." Ty nodded enthusiastically.
"Also the fact you speak French, Italian, Spanish, Farsi and Russian will be of huge help to the police. If they ever need it." Ty winked at Michi as she squirmed in her seat.
"It's not my fault I pick up languages so well."
"Uh huh." Ana adjusted the rearview mirror to look at Michi. "It also isn't your fault you chose to get a bachelors degree in international relations and a masters in international law, is it?" Michi glanced at her friend.
"It is also not my fault I am an overachiever. I just wanted to get out of school and into the real world." Hence why Michi had sacrificed a social life in order to get all of her necessary schooling finished in six years. Not to say she wasn't proud of herself, but she sometimes wished she had more close friends than just Ty and Ana.
Ty chose that moment to point through the back window. "Looks like we have a break coming up, Ana. Better get ready to gun it."
Ana began to rev the engine. As the break in traffic came up alongside the van, Ana began to turn into the flow of traffic. Suddenly, Ana slammed on the breaks as the taxi in front of the van shot into their break. Ty leaned over and honked the horn, yelling some choice obscenities in the process. Michi shook her head. He watched too much Cops.
When the group finally pulled away from the curb, Ana and Ty relaxed against their seats and pulled up some Simon and Garfunkel for Michi to listen to. The minivan eventually pulled up alongside the offending taxi a couple miles down the road. As Ty tried to get into a yelling match with the cab driver, Michi looked over at the passenger in the back seat and tried to mouth an apology in Japanese. She stopped mid statement as black, sleep deprived eyes turned to look at her. The man had black shaggy hair and wore a white long sleeved shirt. He tilted his head at Michi and stuck the end of his thumb in his mouth as he continued to stare at her. Michi promptly looked away, feeling nervous under the man's probing stare. Still feeling his gaze on her, she turned back to see him waving at her. He had a smile on his face as he attempted to look friendly. The smile looked quite forced, but Michi could not help but smile back and wave.
As Ana pulled away from the light and Ty pulled himself back into the warmth of the car, Michi could not help but continue to feel the man's stare on her back. She felt like she was not only being watched, but tracked. She sighed deeply. 'Not even a whole day has gone by in Japan and I'm paranoid. Way to go Michiko.'
