《Unstable (L x Reader)》Chapter Four: Bits and Pieces of Time
Advertisement
Thinking of that shinigami hovering around Light made me think of my home I was stripped from, my dad was a shinigami and then had me. Not sure how... since I'm well aware how kids are produced, but no matter.
No one noticed how (name) was just staring over Light's shoulder, not even Light. Just his Shinigami Ryuk. He felt like he had seen her before, maybe he just heard of her. But after (name)'s incident very long ago, about 13 years ago, her father returned to his original world and her mother ran away with his deathnote and did killings in other places which really needed it. She sadly died while (name) was in captivity since she made the trade and her original lifespan was just about 86 years. And the nurses didn't even bother to tell her just to keep her that isolated. But as the task force worked they were all thinking what was wrong with (name) if she was in a mental institute. They were all wondering if she was hinting something towards the chief. L was thinking something similar to that too. He was thinking that Chief Yagami knew why she was i n the institute. But that made him wonder why they would even cover up why she was in there if the police had the same information. But all (name) could keep thinking was who was behind Light and if Chief Yagami would ever recognize her...
I watched as they did their work quietly, but it sure got boring. But then the thing they were watching stopped. It caught my attention after fiddling with my thumbs for so long. L then asked Light something, asking him what he thought of whatever they were watching. I think he was talking about how the video was talking about eyes and shinigami. I understood really well, I had an eye of my own that I could see lifespans, I always covered it with my hair. Then I heard L turn towards me. I looked at him, he asked me the same thing. "I think what this means is that there's someone else that is like Kira and they are saying that Shinigami are really real and there's a way to see them." L hummed towards my response and seemed to be thinking about what I had said. I turned my attention back to Light. He did seem very smart which made sense why L asked him about the thing they were watching that I barely paid attention to. But the Shinigami behind Light was very interesting. Then people started leaving, but the Yagami's dragged along and stayed for a bit. They talked with L. I guess L and Light are buds or something? "Hey (name), I'm not sure if this is out of place but do you think you could help me with my psychology homework? It's my worst class and I figured you must be good at it since you seemed to be reading us the whole time." Shit he noticed. I guess I can be easily noticeable when I read people. Oh well! "Yeah sure... I mean if I can leave." "What do you mean?" "Light I was deemed clinically insane. I don't think people want me wandering a town I have not been in for a very long time." "Well then just ask L, you're staying with him." "That just feels wrong, we are nearly the same age." "Well then ask Watari." "He's not home." Right after I said that he entered through the door and was carrying what looked like cakes or something. "Hey Watari is (name) allowed to leave the room?" "Well yes but she must be under supervision." "Would it be fine by you if she came with me to help me study for school?" "For a little while, she must be back by 9." Light made a "I told you so" face in front of me so I got up in defeat, slipped on some shoes, and we left the building. Lights dad was kind enough to drive us back to their house and I finally got to see the city a bit more since last time I passed out from sedation drugs. Then Mr. Yagami spoke to break the silence.

"(name).. Where are you from?" Mr. Yagami kindly asked.
"I'm not super sure... but this area does seem oddly familiar, my memory has been hazy for the longest time." I said trying really hard to remember the details of before I was in a hospital.
"If you don't mind me asking... again... (name), what mental hospital were you staying in?" Mr. Yagami asked again.
"I don't know the name but it was one floor, though it was very big, and had a cafeteria and three little areas for the things you were there for." I said.
I could hear him gruble to himself and ask himself why I seemed so familiar with him. I then asked him a question to help him out,
"Have you ever detained, or arrested, a ten year old?"
"I have arrested a few, one of them I saw pickpocket and they thought I wasn't looking at them. The other tried to rob a convenience store. The last one was so long ago there was this kid that got really violent with their parents." He answered.
"I think I remember hearing that in the news... something about a kid having a fit or something." I said... with the tone in my voie that I was hinting something.
"That wasn't in the news though..." He said slowly.
"Dad I think she's hinting towards you that she was the one you arrested." Light said figuring me out.

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
