Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[nokotchi]

"Ha, just speaking the truth, Matt." Sakura said, smiling when L's eyes crossed a bit.

Mello snickered and walked over, sitting down next to Matt.

 

[.chasm.]

L picked up his fork, looking up at the cameras. "Did anything happen while we were away?" he asked, scooping up some or the cake. "Because we-" He cut off, staring down as his phone lit up and started ringing. "Tala, you should take that."

"I don't want to hear it, Mello," Matt muttered, not looking up. "Don't say anything."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura leaned forward and grabbed the phone, flipping it open. "Hello?"

Mello pouted. "But...."

 

[.chasm.]

L held the fork in his mouth, leaning forwards to type something. "Who is it, Tala?" he asked, his voice muffled because of the cake.

"Shut up," Matt muttered, wincing as he lifted his legs up onto the sofa.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura ignored L's question, only paying attention to the call. "Alright... Thank you for the information..." She sat back in her chair and bit her lip, thinking over what she had just been told.

Mello sighed, leaning back. "Aw, come on..."

 

[.chasm.]

L pulled the fork away from his mouth. staring at Sakura. "Tala? Was it the prison about the Death Note testing?" He scooped some icing off the cake, tilting his head.

"I said shut up," Matt said, glaring at Mello.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked up at L and nodded. "The thirteen day rule is fake." she said simply, still biting on her lip.

Mello frowned and leaned back, sighing.

 

[.chasm.]

L put his finger in his mouth, sucking the icing. "Then Light and Misa are under suspicion again," he said. "That is, for being Kira willingly and currently."

Matt winced again as he pushed his feet onto Mello's lap.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura sighed and looked down at the phone. "That's lovely...."

Mello smirked. "I still can't believe Tala beat the s**t out of you like that...." he muttered almost silently.

 

[.chasm.]

"We can't rule out every possibility, of course," L said, pulling his finger out of his mouth and wiping it on his jeans. "I would like to put Light under close surveillence again." He scooped up some more icing.

Matt frowned, looking up when he heard something too quiet to hear properly. "Did you say something?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked up at L. "Let me guess.... Do I need to fetch the handcuffs?"

Mello's smirk faded. "Uh..... Nooo...."

 

[.chasm.]

L nodded, licking the icing. "And this time, Light won't complain himself out of them. I'm not taking them off until I'm satisfied that he's not Kira, or have evidence to prove that he is."

Matt stared at Mello for a second, trying to,decide whether or not to question him, but then he heard Sakura. He looked over and raised an eyebrow, but was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura caught Matt's eye and stood. "You, say nothing." she said, pointing at Matt. She then turned to L and nodded. "I'll be right back," She walked out of the room to get the cuffs, shooting a glare at Matt.

Light had retired to his room, thinking some things over about his plan to find a new Kira to do his work.

Mello took out a chocolate bar and unwrapped it, snickering when he saw Sakura give Matt a glare.

 

[.chasm.]

L used the fork to scoop up some more cake, glancing around the room quickly. "Someone will need to get Light. Matsuda, could you go and find him?"

Matt rolled his eyes, looking back at his DS. "I'll just think it, then." He settled back in his seat. "Stop moving so much, Mello."

 

[nokotchi]

Matsuda stood. "Sure." He walked out of the room and headed down the corridor towards Light's room.

Sakura returned a few moments later, the handcuffs balled up in her hands. "They're all tangled..." she muttered, struggling to undo a knot tied in the middle of the chain.

Mello frowned at Matt. "Shut up," he said, mimicking Matt's voice. He then took a swift bit of his chocolate.

 

[.chasm.]

L watched Sakura untangling the chain, leaning over to her to get a closer look. "We need this to be quick, it'll be easier to get the handcuffs on Light if he doesn't see them first."

Matt glared at Mello again, closing his DS. "Just because Tala beat me, doesn't mean you could."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura finally managed to loosen the knot and pull it out. "Got it." She held the cuffs out to L.

Mello let out a light laugh. "Dude, she's barely half your size and she, as you would say, pwned you."

Matsuda knocked on Light's door. "Light, we need you in the main room."

Light looked up at the door and stood. "Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes."

 

[.chasm.]

L took the handcuffs in one hand, laying them on the chair next to him. "This will make surveillence of the suspect even harder." He looked up at Sakura, pushing his thumb to his lip.

"No she didn't," Matt said, a bit too quickly. He paused, then rolled his eyes. "I could still take you in a fight."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura crossed her arms and sighed. "I realized...."

Matsuda returned to the main room, followed by Light. "What'd you need?"

Mello laughed. "First of all, she DID pwn you. You practically begged for her to get off when she was beating you down. Second of all, if she can take you down like that, I think I'd have a fair shot."

 

[.chasm.]

L stared at Sakura, chewing his thumb. "We'll have to just use Wedy," he muttered. He looked over at Light, motioning for him to sit beside him. "You need to come over here."

Matt glared at Mello again, sitting up. "I wasn't begging," he said, sounding extremely unconvincing. "And come on, you know I'd beat you."
