Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note

Claire's P.O.V.

Light and I watched as L got into the car with Watari and drove away. I could tell from Light's silence that he was mildly confused, and to be truthful, so was I. Though, I think I'm confused for an entirely different reason. Maybe I should have actually listened... Well, too late now.

"So," Light broke the silence between us. "What do you think about this, Kuro?"

"Eh, I stopped listening after he admitted to being L and said that we may be of help on the Task Force." I shrugged but decided to be honest.

"You're ... Joking, right?" He gave me a slightly exasperated look.

"Why would I be joking?" I questioned seriously.

"Never mind," He sighed. "I'm surprised at how you haven't even bat an eye at the fact that we just met L and that he wants us, of all people to help him."

"I've been through stranger situations," I told him. "It's not really that big of a deal."

"You know, I'm really envious of your carefree attitude at times." Light shook his head with a smile.

"I shall take that as a compliment." I said offhandedly as I brought out my book again. I was just getting to the interesting part, or the climax you could say. I wasn't going to let a serial killer get in the way of my reading thank you very much.

"Ah man, I should probably head home," Light told me as he began to walk away. "I'll see you some other time."

"Good bye."

Thank goodness that was over. I really didn't feel like conversing with him especially with that Shinigami always cackling behind him. I have a feeling that Shinigami has mental issues and is seeking companionship or friendship which is why he dropped the death note into our world. He just wanted to make some friends is all. Yeah, let's go with that. Let's not go with that he dropped the death note into the human world in order to watch a large amount of the human race get killed off.

Yeah... that Shinigami could really do with a friend or two...

"So, L....." I had just arrived back at the hotel room we were using as headquarters and I had put on an overly sweet closed smile. "Care explaining why you were so insistent on me wearing a dress when you yourself only showed up in your everyday clothing?"

"I'm an adult." Was the only thing that L came up with... Screw him.

"So... Because you're an adult, that means that you're allowed to dress however you want while I am not?" I questioned in an eerily sweet voice causing the others who were there to slowly back away from the man who would soon be facing my wrath.

"That's correct." He stated as he continued typing on his laptop.

"I see..." I spoke with an innocent tone. "Well, an adult eats three balanced meals a day, so I suppose you wouldn't mind if I just so happened to take all of your sweets away, would you?"

That got his attention.

"You wouldn't dare." He stated as he stared into my oh-so-innocent looking eyes.

"Oh, but wouldn't I?" I smirked. Revenge is sweet. Well, at least for me. L... Not so much.

"Fine," He sighed. "I won't force you to wear a dress ever again."

"And?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I give you my sincerest of apologies." 'Sincere', yeah sure.... Because we all know how sincere that apology was.

"Well, I was actually looking for you never stealing my seat again, but I suppose that shall suffice." My face went back to it's normal blank look. "I'm going to go change now."

I wouldn't be able to hold in my coughing any longer, so I was glad that I had that excuse to use at least. While it didn't show, my cold had gradually gotten more serious throughout the day, and I didn't need anybody finding out about it.

As soon as I made it to my room, I made a beeline for the bathroom. Luckily, the room I was staying in had a its own bathroom, so I didn't have to worry about anyone invading my privacy. I vomited into the toilet once before delving into a quiet coughing fit, or however quiet a coughing fit can get. This really just hasn't been my day, has it?

I took in a large breath of air before slowly exhaling as I sat on my bathroom floor. Hopefully this cold won't last too long and nobody finds out. Though, from the luck I've had today, I'll probably have this cold for a few more days and everybody will find out.

"Kuro," I heard L knock on the bathroom door. "I already know that you're sick, so let me in."

See, what did I tell you? My luck is at its minimum today.
