L nodded and accepted the flash drive gratefully. If there was anything at all on here...he'd be indebted to Shi forever. He did want to listen to it now. He had no time to waste. He watched in surprise as Shi ran up and submitted her name and a song. She was going to do karaoke? Okay.
He waved it off as she came back with an apology. "Not at all, I don't wish to hamper your usual activities in any way." His attention was suddenly caught by his earpiece, which fed him some unfortunate information. He thought quickly, before following Shi's example and submitting a song for himself to sing. His own voice, though out of practice, wasn't too bad.
"Now Shi, your brother is on his way here. Coming down the street in fact. It's too late to duck out, so I ask only that you follow my lead. I'd like to keep the purpose behind this meeting, as well as your knowledge of who I am, as secret as possible for your safety." The girl brought them their sweets, and L sugared up his tea before digging into his Banana split. He made sure he wasn't eating it when Matsuda came in though. "Hi Shi!" He said cheerfully, before catching sight of L.
"Ryu-!"
L put on his best look of surprise. "Hm? Oh, hello there! You must be Shi's brother, she was just telling me about you!" Oh? Matsuda's freaked out look quickly fell to one of a really bad liar. "Oh, yeah, that's me! And you must be Hideki Ryuuga, that genius kid from To-oh U!" 'Matsuda is the worst actor ever...except perhaps Misa...'

“Wait? Why is He coming here?” She questioned slightly eyeing the door slightly. She sighed when her Anii walked in through the doors but she stilled smiled at him “Hey Anii, what are you doing here?” Shi questioned once he and L had spoken to each other. She had to refine from laughing at his bad acting though. “Well, I was slightly worried about you since there’s this cough going around I wanted to make sure you were feeling okay.”
Shi smiled softly and giggled before moving to the left slightly so Matsuda could sit down with them. “So, Anii, you going to sing today?” She questioned nudging her brothers side with a small smile. Though soon after her name was called and she had to go up to the stage. A nervous chuckle left her lips as her brother moved aside as she headed up, her cheeks a light red color.
Once on stage she noted she could still see L and her brother in the back of the shop, and that just caused her face to turn an even darker shade of red. Normally she’d have to problem singing in front of a group but for some odd reason having the worlds greatest detective listening as she sung, was making her nervous, extremely nervous.
The song started and Shi listened the song start the slow beat making her sway her hips, if only slightly as she looked away from the detective and then the song began. Whoever had started it made sure only one was heard to let the singer know the song started. So Shi opened her mouth and began to sing “When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind. He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. And my momma swore that she would never let herself forget. And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist. But darling, You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.” The song went into instrumental for a moment and Shi used that time to glance at L and her brother, then the song started once again so she started to sing while still looking at the pair “Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts. And we've got to find other ways to make it alone. Or keep a straight face. And I've always lived like this keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness. Because none of it was ever worth the risk. Well you are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.” Once again it was instrumental and Shi was slightly dancing to the flow of the music, to keep her mind off of the two important people that were watching her.
When the song started up again Shi closed her as she sang, focusing on the words if only slightly “I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up. Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. . You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.” A small pause and some more dancing on Shi’s part and then more singing “. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.” Shi couldn’t help but look at the pair as she last two lyrics of the song, glad for the cover her hair, she looked mostly at L, a small smile forming on her face. “And I'm on my way to believing. Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.”
'Hehehe. . .I've got a crush on the worse possable person' Was the only thought in her head as she got off the stage and headed back to L and Matsuda

L watched as Shi was called onto the stage. Thankfully Matusda waited until she was out of earshot to ask; "Ryuuzaki, what are you doing here with my sister?" L looked at him. "I was actually out on an errand and decided to come here for a bit. Light brought me here one day, and I rather like the place. Your sister was here, and decided to strike up a conversation." L let the conversation die as Shi began to sing. She looked nervous, which was rather silly.
She was good. She seemed to get more nervous as she kept going instead of less, oddly enough. Perhaps she had issues with her confidence? L could see how one would not like to appear to be bad at something, especially if it happened that one was actually good at it. He smiled as he listened, just letting himself relax for a moment. Matsuda was beaming with pride and hissing comments such as "She's great, isn't she?!" It had been a nice song too.
Of course, she came back and someone else went up, sang their bit. "That sounded very nice, Shi. I didn't realize you had singing talent." Matsuda started yammering away, which was fine with L. Then the detective was called up, and the look of surprise on Matsuda's face was almost enough to even make the stoic detective laugh. He resisted, however, and simply made his way to the stage as Matsuda looked to Shi in confusion.
L closed his eyes, listening to the song out of one ear. As the song started, he took a breath and began to sing. The song did remind him of himself in an odd way, and it foretold of his fall almost prophetically.
"I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world." As he finished, he simply came back to the others. And to finish his banana split.
[Hey, this vid is Death Note, and uses that song, if you're interested. I really like it. Death Note Viva La Vida Oh yeah, and L is clueless!]

Shi smiled at L, greatful for his words. “Thanks” She muttered as L went up onto the stage. As she listened to him sing she noted he was rather good. His words seemed to have another meaning to them, or that’s was she though as she listened. Matsuda was quite as L sang but he seemed suspicious of something, though she decided against mentioning it. Though soon enough it seemed that L’s song ended and he headed over to finish his banana split. A small giggle left her lips as Matsuda spoke “Ryuuga I didn’t know you could sing!”
Shi lightly pushed her bother “Anyone can sing, just others are better at it then some” As Matsuda grumbled about her indirect teasing of his rather bad singing voice, she turning her gaze to L and smiled “And You’re rather good Hideki-san, much better than my brother” “H-Hey! I’m not that bad!” “You can’t even hold a note Anii, so yes you are that bad” Shi teased her brother and Matsuda just complained slightly, but the smile on both of their faces showed that they were used to it.
Soon enough silence ensured which as odd seeing they had the worlds most talkative person at the table with them. So Shi ate her cheese cake in peace, while matsuda seemed to be thinking aabout something. “You two should sing a duet.” He suddenly said caused Shi so choke on her cake and stare at her brother, the fork still in her mouth.
