Lights POV

June

Light was sitting in his last lesson for this day, it was psychology, and it was extremely boring, because he had allready read all the books required for this subject and for him it was just very easy.

There wasn´t really something else than studying and reading that he had to do in his freetime. He didn´t felt the urge to have dates with girls or go out and have a drink with friends, because he thought doing smalltalk all the time and talk about random topics was dull. But nonetheless he actually did go out with girls a few times, just to stop their permanent begging for a date and the teasing of his sister. She had a lot of fun with annoying him with the fact, that he was 18 years old and never had have a girlfriend. So he forced himself to go to dates every now and then. He was a nice and polite person after all. However this didn´t mean that he would take the girls home with him.

When he came out of the university after psychology he spotted a very expensive looking english oldtimer at the parking area. In front of it there was standing an old man with snow white hair, who, fitting to the car, looked like an english gentleman. He seemed to be waiting for someone and as Light passed him, he was pretty much surprised, that he happened to be the one the man was waitng for.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yagami. Could you please listen to me for a second?"

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"

"Thank you. I am here in order of the detective L, whom you might allready have heard of. He solved differ-"

"I know exactly who L is, sir.", he interrupted him. He thought, this title would be most appropriate due to his british appearance. Since his father was the chief of the Tokyo police department and he himself was studying criminology at the Touou University, L became some kind of idol for him, because he was known as the best detective in the world.

"Perfect. Well, L was searching for a while now for a partner, someone who could help him solving cases, and since you were the best student in Japan and study criminology, you caught our attention. We also went through your identity file from the police and you seem to be the most fitting person for this task."

"I...well..err...wow" That was dumb but it was the only thing he could manage to say in this moment.

"I am very sorry if this is too much to take in at once, but I need to know if you would basically be interested in such a collaboration, Mr. Yagami."

The whole thing was kinda hard to believe. Why should have L wanted him to be his partner? He could have picked out a real detective, who is really experienced and good in his job...

Anyways, he said yes out of curiosity and was led to the old mans car and he said, L´s contact man would be sitting inside and discuss the next steps with him.

Light had the suspicion that this could be some kind of kidnapping-plot, but his curiosity won once more and he stepped inside.

He had L´s second contact man expected to be another britsh-gentleman-like looking elderly man.

But on the backseat sat a young man with black hair, wich covered his face and stood to all directions, and dark circles under his black eyes. Light knew, that eye colors can´t be really black, but he couldn´t make out any color in his eyes due to his, despite the bright light of the early afternoon in june, dilated pupils. 'Maybe he doesn´t sleep that much at all. Too busy helping L perhaps'

And he wasn´t really sitting, he was crouching on the seat with his knees almost touching his chin! His feets were shoe-less, but Light spottet a pair on the ground. Even so the socks were missing. He was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and blue baggy jeans, both way too big for his slender form. All of his looks were a sharp opposite to his own always neat and tidy appearance but altogether it didn´t look wrong, its was just...'he looks handsome and cute at the same time' -the thought came to his mind without warning, he didn´t know where it came from, so he just shoved the thought aside and out of his mind. Well, maybe not out of his mind, but into some hidden corner.

His face held no expression when just said "Hello, Light Yagami."

Light sat beside him on the backseat. "Hello. Nice to meet you", he said politely.

"Nice to meet you, too, Yagami-san. You may call me Ryuzaki. First of all, please sign this secrecy agreement. L wants to stay anonymous, therefore you´re not allowed to talk about this, that means anything that has to do with your connection to L, to anyone exept L himself, Watari and...me." He had lowered his voice at the last word.

"I guess Watari shall be the man in smoking I talked to?"

"Exactly." Ryuzaki handed him a few sheets of paper. Light read them carefully and then signed them. He gave them back to the man, who was watching him intently. He signed them himself but Light couldn´t see the name he wrote down.

"Isn´t L himself supposed to sign it?" He didn´t want to seem rude, but he was curious.

"I am able to represent him when it´s necessary." Light was sure he had seen a little smirk appear on Ryuzakis face, but in the next second it was allready gone.

'There is something wrong with this guy, something...unnormal,...well besides his looks...'
