Obsessed - 9

Obsessed – 9

Misa was practically vibrating with excitement after her call with Maki. She couldn't imagine what it was that Maki had come up with, but she sounded so sure about her plan that she was sure it had to be something wonderful.

She thought about Light, and how handsome he was—even better now that he was older. She thought about all the things they could do together, how envious everyone would be when they saw her with such a handsome boyfriend and eventually husband. She imagined the magazine articles they'd probably do together, the pop star and her genius detective husband. Although if he asked her, she would give up her career, jus as long as he was with her. He was obviously worth whatever she had to do to make him realize the error of his ways.

For a moment Ryuzaki crossed her mind, and the last time she saw them together at the restaurant when they didn't know she was there and watching. She had to admit, they seemed incredibly happy, Light seemed to be almost constantly smiling and she had seen how much he doted on Ryuzaki. But that couldn't be real could it? She had always called Ryuzaki a pervert, from the first time she realized he had feelings for Light, but what if Light really loved him? What if he was really as happy with him as he seemed? She shook her head; that simply couldn't be. Light was really young when he met Ryuzaki, and she knew he had dated other girls. He couldn't just change like that simply because some weird detective that worked with L seemed to like him. Maybe that was it, the fact that he worked with L. Her time working with them on the Kira case was still kind of hazy in her mind, but she remembered that part. She remembered how eager Light was to work on the case, so he would be impressed with someone who worked with L. But that was mostly to clear his own name from suspicion as Ryuzaki kept thinking he had been Kira, to the point that he had handcuffed Light to himself to watch him 24/7.

She frowned, that must have been when everything started happening, when Light was forced to be with him 24/7. It wasn't that she thought there was something wrong with gay people, she was just sure Light wasn't one of them, he hadn't been before he met Ryuzaki and she was sure Ryuzaki was just perverted, seeing how attractive Light was and luring him in. He was so odd in so many other ways; it just made sense to her. She was sure that once she was able to spend some quality alone time with Light he would understand, he would come back to himself. But then that nagging doubt came back again, if he really cared for Ryuzaki, he would be devastated if he found him with Maki. She didn't really want to hurt him, she loved him, but he had to understand that what he was doing was not really what he wanted. Maybe that shock would snap him back into the Light she once had, and who knows, maybe Ryuzaki would be very happy with Maki!

She pushed all of her doubts aside; this was definitely the right thing to do, and it would make everyone happy in the long run. His Mrs. Yagami would finally be able to have grandchildren, Mr. Yagami could be proud of his son's marriage to a beautiful pop star, and Maki would be happy with Ryuzaki. There was no wrong here; it would all be for the best she was sure. She stood up and went to her kitchen to make coffee, Maki should be there soon, and they'd need coffee as they planned their next moves.

Suki ran quickly from the building to Matsuda's waiting car. He had sounded incredibly agitated and she could only guess it had something to do with the information he had discovered about Maki and she didn't want to keep him waiting.

"What's the matter, are you okay?" she asked as she slid into the passenger seat, snapping her seat belt, "You sounded so upset on the phone!" She watched worriedly as he didn't answer right away, just pulled out into traffic. She reached over and put her hand on his arm.

"Touta, what is it? What did you find out?" Matsuda sighed and quickly glanced her way before returning his eyes to the road.

"Maki has a record, she was up for a major assault," he said finally and Suki gasped her surprise.

"I had a feeling there was something about her, but assault?"

"Apparently she studied chemistry, worked for a pharmaceutical company and used her knowledge to try and drug someone who didn't like her into liking her. Ended up making him really sick instead. But you know what I'm thinking…"

"That she might try that on Ryuzaki and or Light!" Suki exclaimed and Matsuda nodded.

"I can't imagine when she'd get the chance, if something happened at the restaurant it would be too easy to catch," Masuda speculated and Suki agreed.

"But if she could get them alone somehow where she was being watched she could accomplish it," Suki said but then shook her head, "But how would she get the things she needs, I'm sure those things aren't something you could just pick up at your local drug store."

"No, they're not and you have to show a certificate to be able to get those types of chemicals and her was revoked," he sighed as he slowed down at a stop light, "Maybe we're worrying over nothing, if she can't get the stuff she can't make the drug."

"Maybe," Suki said, "But maybe she could get someone to get them for her…" Matsuda shook his head.

"I know what you're thinking but even Misa can't get those kind of things without the proper paperwork; and no one with the proper stuff would risk losing theirs just to help her. I think maybe I over reacted." Suki shook her head and smiled at him.

"No, I don't think so Matsuda. What you found out proves that she's not completely normal, anyone who would stoop to drugging someone into liking her obviously has problems and should be watched. Are you going to tell Light and Ryuzaki?"

"I don't know, I don't want them to laugh at me for over reacting," he said, "I think I'll wait a little bit, keep an eye on her first and at the first sign that I think anything doesn't look right, I'll tell them then."

"You don't think they might find this out for themselves?" Suki asked and Matsuda shrugged.

"I don't think either one of them think she's any kind of threat, you know Ryuzaki didn't even acknowledge she was interested in him. I don't think he thinks of her as anything more than a source of information for Misa after what I told him the other day. He's probably right, who am I to second guess him anyway." Suki made a rude noise that made him laugh.

"Please, he's a detective just like you are, you're just as smart as he is." She said and Matsuda shook his head.

"Oh no…Ryuzaki's like Light, that's one of the reasons they get along so well, no one's as smart as they are and…" Matsuda stopped before he accidentally let it slip who exactly Ryuzaki was. He didn't know if he would ever be able to tell Suki, he knew Soichiro had never told his wife who their son was really living with yet.

"And what?" Suki asked and Matsuda shrugged again.

"And I think I'll just wait a bit before I mention this to him is all," he finished and she sighed.

"Okay, if you say so Touta, but let's not wait too long, she made me nervous before and now she practically terrifies me." Matsuda had pulled up in front of his apartment building and turned off the car. He turned to look at Suki and smiled.

"I promise we'll tell them the first sign of anything suspicious," he said then leaned forward and kissed her, one hand running through her long, black hair, "Come on, I promised to make you a Matsuda family special curry recipe for dinner!" he said after he released her.

"Yes you did," she agreed, "And I'm starving so it better be good," she moved away from him and began to reach for the door handle before she felt him pull her back.

"I love you Suki," he said and she reached up and stroked his face with her fingertips.

"You finally said it," she said then leaned forward and kissed him, "I love you too Touta Matsuda. Now feed me before I change my mind!" Suki laughed at the sudden look of terror on Matsuda's face as he scrambled to get out of the car in a hurry and found she had to hurry to keep up with him.

Misa's eyes widened in surprise as she listened to Maki's entire plan. She had run several scenarios through her head but this was not one of them. As she thought about it, she realized it had great potential and would definitely get everything done they wanted to in the shortest amount of time.

"So, what do you think Miss Misa," she asked as she stirred her coffee, "Are you willing to help me get the things I need?" Misa thought a moment, before answering.

"What makes you think I can get the things you need? Don't you need some kind of certificate to get those kind of chemicals."

"Only if you plan to mix them yourself, I can tell you the name of the finished drug and I'm sure you can convince your manager or someone to get a local chemist to mix it up for you. Tell them you've had a lot of trouble sleeping and this one was suggested to you. I'll take it from there once you get it." Misa nodded and then frowned.

"It won't hurt him will it? I don't think Light would be in the right mind to accept me if something serious happened to Ryuzaki," she worried.

"Do you think I want anything to happen to Mr. Ryuzaki?" Maki asked almost crossly, "All this will do to him is calm him, make him more accepting for what I have in mind for him. Then afterwards he'll realize how much I care for him, and that he likes being with me because there are things I can do for him that Mr. Light could never do."

"And you'll take a picture of him enjoying himself with you, and send it directly to my phone so I can show Light?" Maki nodded.

"That way Mr. Light will see him with me, realize that it's over and turn to you."

"I hope he won't be too hurt, I don't really want to hurt Light…" Misa worried and Maki placed a hand over hers.

"It might be a bit painful at first, but we both know that relationship isn't meant to last anyway. We know we can make them much happier than they are now, give them a real future. What's a little bit of pain when we can give them a lifetime of happiness?" Misa smiled and nodded.

"Yes, you 're right. Okay, when I get that drug, you have to get Ryuzaki away from Light, and I somehow have to get Light alone. I still need to find Light's address, it would be so much easier if this could happen when I'm with him at his place." Maki nodded and thought a moment.

"You are a pop star, I'm sure your manager can find some way of finding his address better than I can. Or hire a private detective to follow him and watch where he goes after work, something like that." Misa squealed and threw her arms around Maki's neck.

"I don't know why I didn't think of that, a private detective…that would be perfect! I'll take care of that in the morning, Oh Maki this is going to be perfect, they 're both going to be so much happier with us!" She hugged the young waitress tightly and then sat back.

"I'll call you and let you know when I have what you need and we'll plan for when we're going to do this then, okay?"

"Yes, that sounds good. You must make sure you never mention my name in connection with the drug, Miss Misa." Maki warned and the pop star giggled.

"Oh don't worry, I know exactly what I'll say and it will ensure that I get exactly what I need and you have nothing to do with it," she promised and then sighed, "Now that I know what your plan is I just can't wait to do it!"

"The sooner you get what I need, the sooner we can get it done," Maki said and stood up, "I have to go, it's getting late and I must work tomorrow. Good-night Miss Misa." Misa stood up with her and walked her to her door.

"Good-night Maki, and thank you for being so smart!" she said and Maki bowed to her before going out of the door. Misa hugged herself in excitement before bouncing back onto her couch. She loved this idea, she couldn't find anything wrong with it all, it was guaranteed to work, and she would have her Light…willingly.

L lay on the couch, his head in Light's lap, as they watched a movie together, one of the Disney ones that they had picked up during the trip to Disney World so that L could "study" the phenomenon.

"So this nanny is actually a witch or magician of some sort?" he asked Light who laughed at the question.

"I don't think it is never explained exactly what she is," he answered, "It's up to the audience to decide what they think she is." L frowned his disapproval.

"That chimney sweep seems to know and yet it doesn't bother him," he said, "I'm not sure I understand why he would keep it a secret." Light leaned down and kissed his forehead.

"Because he has the hots for her, can't you tell?" he asked, grinning at L's surprised expression.

"The hots? If by that term you mean he is desirous of having a romantic relationship with her I disagree. It seems completely platonic to me, it is a Disney movie after all," L answered.

"Then your detective skills are sadly lacking if you can't see that he wants a piece of that," Light said laughing again and L shot up from his lap, his expression deadly serious.

"There is nothing wrong with my detective skills Light Yagami, I simply do not believe that every interaction between a male and female must always be based on sexual desire! Especially in a children's film!" Light put his hands up in surrender and tried not to laugh again.

"Fine, fine they're simply good friends, excuse me for thinking otherwise!" he said. L nodded and lay back on his lap.

"Sometimes I think you see sex in everything," he grumbled ignoring Light as he rolled his eyes.

"Not in everything, but when it looks fairly obvious to me…" he stopped when L reached up and covered his mouth with his fingers.

"I am trying to hear this," he said crossly and Light pulled his fingers away.

"I am entitled to my opinion," he told him and L waved his hand at him as if he were swatting at an annoying bug.

"And I am entitled to not listen to it if I wish," he answered. Light stared at him for a moment and then suddenly stood up, making L roll from his lap and onto the floor.

"Get off my lap you little arrogant bastard," he said laughing at the surprised expression on L's face as he stared up at him from the floor, and then sat back down.

"I'm an arrogant bastard?" L said getting up from the floor, climbing on Light's lap, and straddling him so he was facing him, his knees on either side of Light's legs.

"And you are childish, driven purely by your hormones and thus believe every one else is as well!" he added, jabbing one long finger into Light's chest to punctuate his statement.

"Oh and you're not driven by your hormones at all?" Light purred, "Are you going to tell me this doesn't do something to your hormones?" he asked taking L's jabbing finger and sucking it into his mouth.

"This is exactly what I mean," L said trying to pull his finger back, "You drag everything down to this common denominator of…sex!" Light didn't answer, he simply continued to suck on L's finger, his tongue wrapping around the digit and pulling it deeper into his mouth, his eyes never leaving L's rapidly widening ones.

"Light…I am trying to make a point…" he continued, trying not to let what Light was doing affect him, that the warm tongue wrapping around his finger didn't make him think of other places that tongue could be, that it wasn't making him warm. Light finally pulled L's finger from his mouth, noting the color that had risen in L's face.

"And I have just made mine," he said with a wicked grin and pushed L from his lap onto the couch and stood up again, "I win." He said and started to walk away. L stared up at him for a moment then grabbed him by his belt, pulling Light back down on to the couch and pushing him onto his back.

"Now who's the bastard?" he asked as he straddled Light again, "You don't win that easily!" he then fell on him, kissing him hard, pinning him to the couch…just as the intercom buzzer went off. Light burst into laughter as L uncharacteristically swore at the ill timed interruption. He sat up and hit the intercom switch a little harder than necessary.

"Yes, Watari?" he asked, obviously annoyed.

"One of your contacts is trying to reach you L. I can take the call if you're….busy" Watari asked, barely masking his amusement.

"Which one is it?" L asked him.

"The one you have watching Miss Amane." Light groaned and ran his hands through his hair.

"I'll take it," L answered immediately and smiled down at Light.

"Don't concern yourself, he is just checking in. I'll let you know if anything comes up about our earlier discussion," He leaned down and licked Light's neck, "Don't think I'll forget where I was." He then got up and headed for his office.

"I'm coming with you," Light said getting up and following him, "If he's got damning information about Misa I want to hear it first hand." L nodded and continued to his office, sitting down behind his computer.

"This is L," he answered the beeping screen.

"L, our target had a visitor today," a picture of Maki heading into Misa's building flashed on the screen, "She arrived here about two hours ago and just left a few moments ago. Target is still at home." L looked at Light who sighed as he looked at the picture on the screen.

"Thank you, continue surveillance, follow her when she leaves, I want to know exactly where she's going."

"Will do, L," his contact answered and L broke the connection.

"It appears they had a rather lengthy discussion," he said to Light who shrugged his shoulders.

"It doesn't mean they were plotting my fate," he said with a grin and L shook his head in exasperation.

"Why are you not taking this seriously? Misa would not give the time of day to someone like Maki unless she wanted something from her and you know it. They are plotting something and I am sure it is what I suggested earlier."

"You could be right, but unless you see Misa heading to a druggist tomorrow you have no evidence whatsoever. Until then, I'm not going to think about it," he held out his hand, "Coming to bed? We'll finish the movie in the bedroom." L nodded standing up and took Light's hand.

"Fine, I'll wait until I hear from him tomorrow and I'll contact you at work and let you know what the situation is so you can handle it accordingly. Just try to avoid being alone with Misa until we know for sure." Light nodded as he pulled the worried detective against him.

"I promise, and you do the same. I still don't think it's out of the question that she may wish to use that drug on you."

"To what end, Light? You are her target, she probably believes she can drug you and perhaps have her way with you while you are under it's effects and you will wake up straight and in love with her."

"I still don't believe she's that underhanded or deluded, but I suppose anything's possible," Light answered trying not to laugh at the scenario L just described. He leaned down and kissed him instead.

"Come on, I'll make us some tea and we can relax in bed, watch the movie and discuss it afterwards." L smiled and nodded.

"Yes, and I will prove to you that there is nothing sexual between the chimney sweep and the nanny!" he said as Light pulled him out of his office.

"Yes dear, whatever you say, dear," he said and then laughed at the enormous pout he received in answer. Once Light had left him alone in the bedroom to go make the tea, L went to the intercom.

"Yes, L?"

"Please watch all of the local chemists; I'm expecting Misa to try to get some specific drugs and it would be helpful if I knew from whom she was getting them from."

"I'll begin mapping them right now," Watari answered.

"Thank you Watari," L said and released the button. He climbed back into bed to wait for Light and the tea. He grinned as Light came back into the room with a tray with tea and a snack, smiling at him as he closed the door behind him with his foot. As usual he never got used to seeing just how beautiful Light's smile was. He decided that maybe they wouldn't get back to the movie tonight after all.
