A/N: Sorry this is so late – I
have had writer’s block on every single one of my stories and this is first to
come back. If you read my other fics, new chapters should be up soon for all of
them as well as the first chapter of my new HP/Beyblade crossover if anyone is
interested.
Anyway, hope you all like this
chapter, and as always reviews, comments, ideas and criticism is always
welcome, but flames will be used as my bedding.
TSUKI
Chapter 2
At ten o’clock
that morning, L found himself slightly puzzled, which was an extremely rare
experience for the genius detective. The cause of this was his very own Kira
suspect; Yagami Light had not yet arrived at the Kira case headquarters, which
meant he was late, and Light was never late.
Matsuda and
Aizawa had already arrived, and Mogi had called in from the office at the NPA.
Only the Yagami’s had yet to appear, and due to the elder Yagami’s recent cardiac
arrest he was under orders to not arrive until eleven.
L frowned
slightly, this would not do at all. He pulled out his phone and flicked it
open, holding it delicately with a thumb and forefinger as he speed-dialled
Watari’s number.
“Is there any
sign of either of the Yagami’s?” He asked calmly into the phone as he held it
up a few inches from his ear.
“No sign as of
yet.” The old man replied.
“Thank you.” The
detective thought for a second. “I’ll be going to the university today.”
“Alright
Ryuuzaki.” L hung up and placed the phone back in his pocket after carefully
flipping it shut.
He leisurely
stood up from his crouched position, drawing the attention of the others in the
room to his now upright slouched form.
“Light hasn’t
come in so I’m going to the university.” The genius detective moved towards the
door and left the room before the rest of the team had processed his statement.
As he slipped his
old trainers onto bare feet, L pondered whether or not to stop by the bakery on
his way back. He finally decided that he would, he was always in the mood for
strawberry cheesecake.
~~~~~~~~~~
The ears on
Light’s head flattened as he was almost trodden on for what seemed like the
tenth time. Why couldn’t people look where they were walking? He thought
irritably as he slunk into another alley to avoid being run over by a bicycle.
When Light had
awoken last, he had, had to get over a singularly shocking thing - he was now a
ginger tabby cat. He had tried a few things at first, thinking it was a dream,
or that he had been drugged, or even that he had lost his mind. But after
everything, and a sore head, he had resigned himself to seeking assistance,
although he had found that rather problematic as well. No one seemed to realise
that he wasn’t a cat.
The first person
he had approached, kicked out at him almost immediately, yelling and waving his
hands, but Light had just held his head up and stalked away. The second
actually approached him, but as the little boy only seemed to want to pull at
his fur, Light had made a strategic retreat involving his claws.
Finally Light had
to admit that there was only one place, and one person, that he could go to.
The Kira case headquarters, where L himself resided. Light had, had to swallow
some pride but he admitted that Ryuuzaki was the only person close to him in
intelligence and therefore the only one with any chance of fixing what had
happened to him. Although it might take a while for the man to believe that it
was really possible.
However, Light
soon ran into trouble with this plan. Everything looked different from his new
perspective, and height, he groused, making it difficult to know where he was,
as well as which way he had to go to get where he needed.
It took quite a
bit of wandering before Light saw somewhere he recognised with his new eyes,
and from there he carefully made his way to the hotel that housed headquarters.
When he finally
reached his destination, another situation arose. How exactly was he going to
get in the building? Cats generally weren’t allowed inside unless they were
pets of the guests or residents. He supposed he could slip inside when the door
next opened but that still meant he had to find his way to the room, as a cat,
when all the rooms looked the same, and if he did find the room, there was
still the issue of getting inside and staying there long enough for the team
and L to realise who he was. Light sighed, well as much as a cat can, and sat
himself down near the door. He was going to have to wait for his father to come
down to headquarters, he knew for a fact that his father had a weakness for
cats, so he could easily manipulate him to take him where he wanted to go.
Light yawned, he
was so tired, this whole ordeal had been exhausting. He was about to curl up
and get some rest when the door opened, and to his complete surprise L walked
out of the building. He was so shocked that his basic cat instincts took over
and he suddenly pounced on the untied laces of the unsuspecting genius
detective.
~~~~~~~~~~
L was thinking
about many things as he exited the Kira headquarters, but first and foremost on
his mind was Light, as well as the cake he was going to buy.
With his mind
occupied, he tripped as something caught on his laces, and he only just
regained his balance before smacking face first into the floor. He looked down
and saw a slim ginger tabby cat crouched down, batting at the lace on the
floor, trying to once more make it move.
The detective
blinked, before reaching out with his left hand and stroking the feline behind
the ears. The tabby looked up at the touch and blinked; ‘a strange reaction’ L
thought, as the cat then began to back away slowly, shook itself, and sat down
just out of arms reach of L, where it proceeded to stare at him.
L tilted his head
to the side, curiously, and stared back, contemplating the cat’s strange
behaviour compared to others he had encountered. His thumb found it’s way into
his mouth and he bit down, his gaze moving upwards, so he did not notice the
cat move until a clawed paw swiped the hand whose digit was in his mouth. The
detective blinked again, and reached to stroke the tabby’s head once more. This
time the cat stayed perfectly still, even leaning slightly into the touch.
He stopped the
attention after a moment and stood, remembering the reason he had come out in
the first place, and started to walk away. A loud meow from behind made him
turn his head and saw that the feline was staring after him, it’s tail
flicking, and it looked to be about to follow.
“I’ll be back
soon.” L stated, he did not know why he did, which was strange in and of
itself, but after those words the cat had turned around and lay down by the
entrance door and closed it’s eyes. The detective stared for a bit longer, and
as if sensing his gaze the cat glared back as if to say ‘well, what are you
wasting time for then’.
L continued on
his way to the university, the cat now also at the forefront of his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~
As Light
struggled to regain control over his instincts, he watched in horror as he
started to play with the laces of Ryuuzaki’s trainers. The touch on the top of
his head shocked him into stillness and he found his control, although he was
not exactly happy at the cause. Light backed away from the detective, before
stopping and eyeing him carefully.
He watched as the
detective took up the familiar pose of thought, biting into his thumb as he
stared at the sky. Light had always hated this, and before he could stop
himself, he had moved forwards and sunk his claws into L’s right hand. He
frowned at himself at his loss of
control once more, he really needed to fix that.
Light did not
move this time, as Ryuuzaki reached to stroke his ears, and he was happy that
he didn’t - it felt so good. Although he stopped himself before he started to
purr, Light was unable to stop the initial reaction of leaning his head closer.
The attention
suddenly stopped and Light fought the urge to hiss in displeasure, wanting the
hand to come back. He looked up at the detective as he stood and watched in
disbelief as he started to walk away. Due to his dire need to fix this
situation, Light moved to follow. A loud meow to L escaped and he saw him turn
his head back, reassuring the cat that he would be back soon.
Even though this
statement confused Light slightly, L thought he was just another cat after all,
he resolved to think about while he waited and settled down by the front door
of headquarters. When he didn’t hear L move, he reopened his eyes and glared at
the detective, hoping it would incite him to get on with what he had to do. It worked,
and Light watched him walk away before closing his eyes for a nap.
~~~~~~~~~~
L made his way
back to the hotel being used for headquarters, a large box from the bakery
tucked under one of his arms. He had not found a single sign of Light at the
university and decided to see what had come up in his absence, although if
Light had arrived during that time, he knew Watari would have called him.
The detective
looked up as he walked up the steps to the entrance, and saw the same cat from
before snoozing by the door. As L moved closer it’s eyes opened, and stretched
lazily before sitting by the door, meowing in demand.
L opened the
door, and the tabby walked through, looking back at L as if to say ‘are you
coming?’ The detective closed the door behind him and followed the cat up the
stairs and through the hallways, surprised that he had been led straight to the
room they were using as headquarters. He had thought that the feline was under
the ownership of one of the hotels other guests, and had decided to make sure
it got home alright.
Another sound
from the cat by his feet brought him out of his musings and he unlocked and
opened the door in front of him. The tabby moved inside before him and he
watched as it trotted into the main room, a yelp came soon after as well as
content purring.
L entered the
room after removing his shoes and was shocked to see the ginger tabby settled
happily on the lap of Yagami Soichiro, although he did not show it further than
a slight widening of his eyes.
“Yagami-san, is
that cat yours?” L asked blandly.
“No, Ryuuzaki, I
have never seen it before.” Soichiro stated in confusion.
Matsuda moved
closer and the cat turned to look at him warily, and as he reached out a hand
it hissed, warning the man to back off. But Matsuda being who he was completely
ignored the warning and ended up with skin ripped off the back of his hand
before the tabby was running across the room and hiding behind L’s legs.
“It’s a boy.”
Matsuda happily said, blissfully unaware of the cat still growling at him from
across the room. “We should give him a name!”
L looked
thoughtful, and was raising his thumb to his mouth to bite it, when the feline
sunk his claws into his now bare foot. The rest of the team laughed.
“He kind of acts
like Light.” Aizawa chuckled. “All prissy like.”
“Don’t let Light
hear you say that,” Soichiro warned, even though he was laughing along with
them at that comment. The tabby huffed slightly and turned it’s back on them,
causing Matsuda to go into fits of laughter. “So, a name…” The team settled
into thoughtful silence, until…
“Tsuki.”
