Disclamer: I do not own death note, or any of it's characters (wish i did but i dont))

ONE:

Light Yagami turned his chocolate hazel eyes up to the sky, it had been such a long time sense the Taskforce had come up with anything on the Kira case. Ryuuzaki was driving him insane

keeping him chained up.

Speaking of, there was a tug on the handcuff around his wrist. Light rolled his eyes to the spiky black haired man. "Yes?"

"Light is something the matter?" he asks.

There had been nothing the matter besides he was sick of being accused that he was Kira and he was sick of not finding anything more to prove that he was not Kira. Ryuuzaki said it was

down to four percent chance of him being Kira. Apparently that four percent is quiet enough to make L continue to suspect him. "No." he said shortly.

Ryuuzaki raised his eyebrow and stuck his thumb in between his lips. "I'm saying it's about a ninety-six percent that you are very much sick of the handcuffs, and having to drag me around

with you."

"No. It's about ninety-nine percent that I am sick of having the handcuffs and having to drag you around."

"Well, I'm sorry Light, it looks like you are just going to have to deal with this. Until you are zero percent Kira or we catch Kira, you better get use to being handcuffed to me like this."

Light fumed for a moment. "I know this."

Ryuuzaki looked at the boy for a long moment, taking in his chestnut eyes as they looked back to the sky. He was seventy percent sure that deep down there was another reason he was

keeping Light close and it was not because he thought the boy was Kira. In fact, it was only a one point five percent chance that he was Kira now, with Yagami-kun exclaiming that he could

see the boy's death day with the Shinigami eyes from Rem. This meant that Light could not be Kira. But he thought else wise. Light was about as smart as himself and would come up with a

way to plan it out that at certain times he was not Kira. This is where the one point five percent came in.

"LIGHT-CHAN!" Came a high pitched voice from down the street. The next thing they knew both boys where on the ground, Light smothered by Misa and Ryuuzaki thrown back by the force

on the chain. "Oh Light! I didn't know you were out today!!" she giggled. "It's so nice to see you! Whenever I call you are working."

"Misa, can you please get off of me? The sidewalk isn't exactly comfortable." She stood up instantly, dusting off her clothes and hair, waiting for Light to stand.
Ryuuzaki stood as well, yanking a little on the chain in order to use his hand and dust himself off. "Misa, do you insist on flinging into Light like that?"

"Oh yes." She smiled at him. "I am sorry but you are the one who chained Light-chan to himself, so you must suffer also."

Light thought for a moment being chained to Ryuuzaki also had another bonus, not having to see Misa for days on end. Yeah so, Ryuuzaki was right that it would be about ninety-six percent,

maybe lower.

"I am sorry Misa, but we were just headed back." Light tells her.

Ryuuzaki only looked at him. Hadn't it been agreed that they were going to go and play tennis? Hadn't it also been planed that they would rob the sweet shop afterwards? Hadn't it been

planed that they would spend the day together?

He decided that he would wait until Misa was out of ear shot to ask what happened to tennis, and the sweet shop. He paused for a moment. Why was it that he wanted so desperately to

spend the day with Light? So desperately that he hadn't thought of Light just telling that to Misa was a way of making her go away? Hadn't Light been his enemy through all of this? "Hey

Light?"

The brunet looked at him as Misa called out good-bye. "Yeah?"

"Are we going back to headquarters? What happened to tennis and the sweet shop?"

Light chuckled. Was that what made Ryuuzaki so pissed when Misa came up to them? "You really want to go and play tennis?"

Ryuuzaki looked at the ground. Put it that way and he felt like a child getting the wrong kind of ice cream at the ice cream parlor because they were all out of his favorite kind. "If you don't

want to—I mean, being in that building twenty-four, seven seems like it's…wearing you down. It…it seemed like something that you…enjoyed when we played last time. I'd have to say it was

rather…exhilarating for me as well."

Ryuuzaki stumbling over words? Light looked at the charcoal haired man. This was something that he hadn't heard. "Yeah, well, let's take the long way though." He smiled.

He looked at Light. A slim smile pressed his lips into a friendly jester, it made Ryuuzaki's cheeks burn lightly. "And the sweet shop?"

This time Light laughed. "You are addicted."

"We ran out of toffee at headquarters." He shrugged. "Watari had to run to the store to get some, also, we ran out of cake."

"I'm sure the sweet shop will love you." Ryuuzaki shrugged.

*

Light had to admit that walking with Ryuuzaki was enjoyable, they chatted at some point about the Kira case, then about how Ryuuzaki lost their first game of tennis they played.

They walked onto a court, Ryuuzaki pulled the rackets out of the bag on his back, took off the cuffs, then chained the gate on the tennis court shut.

"Is that really necessary?"

"In every way." Ryuuzaki said simply. "I cannot chance you running away from me."

"I could just kill you, get the key and run away." Light points out.

"Yes, that is very true, but I will risk it. And everyone would know you are Kira. That would be no good for you."

"Seeing as I am not Kira, you won't have to worry about dying, and I won't have too be blamed for being Kira." Light said tossing the ball in the air once, bouncing it once, calling out the

score (love, love) and serving the ball.

Several invigorating games later (3 to 4,Ryuzzaki), both boys sat in the shade panting and wiping sweat from their foreheads. "I'd say that was well worth it." Light smiles.

"Indeed." Ryuuzaki agrees. "I'd have to say that I am ready for a large bowl of banana-split and a smoothie."

"That does kinda sound nice." Light agreed. He stood, then held out a hand to help Ryuuzaki up. It was the first time that he had seen the man sitting with his legs out straight, and not

pulled to his body.

Ryuuzaki looked at Light's outstretched hand for a moment before taking it and letting the teen pull him to a stand. This is when someone from the volleyball court yelled something, both

boys looked over and Ryuuzaki got slammed in the face with a volleyball. He fell back, nose bleeding and stars popping in his eyes.

The moment Ryuuzaki saw the blood on his hand when he touched the wetness dripping from his nose, his vision went black and he fell backwards.

Light quickly caught the man before he hit the ground. He snagged the handkerchief from the racket bag and pressed it to Ryuuzaki's nose.

One of the volleyball girls ran over and shrieked. "Oh my god!! I'm so sorry!! Oh! I didn't—I'm so—is there something I can do to help?"

Light looked at her. She reminded him of Misa. "It's alright, just skittish about blood I guess." He pulled out a bill from his wallet. "Yeah, that little sweet shop right there, get me a box of

English toffees."

The blonde girl stood there for a moment. "Um…"

"It will help him wake up." Light said pushing the money into her hand and looking back down at the man in his lap.

Ryuuzaki was full of surprises today. From his lack of words, then blushing, sitting like a normal person, and fainting from the sight of blood.

The blonde girl came back with a gold box and crouched down next to Light and a passed out Ryuuzaki.

Light managed to get Ryuuzaki's nose to stop bleeding. He had the blonde girl open the box and hand him a toffee. He propped Ryuuzaki up a little and waved the toffee under his nose a

few times.

Ryuuzaki could smell something…it was toffee…sweet and chocolate, and caramel…and…he opened his eyes and saw a small chocolate covered sweet waving in front of his eyes.

"Chocolate!" he snatched it from the hand and shoved it behind his lips.

After Ryuuzaki licked his fingers clean, he looked at who had the toffees and met eyes with Light and a blonde girl with a big smile on her face, trying not to laugh.

"Well, it looks like you have it taken care off." The girl giggles. "I'm sorry about that. Really." She handed him the box of toffees and stood.

"Thank you." Light told her with a smile. He turned back to Ryuuzaki. The toffee box, laying on the grass was empty and the man was licking his fingers.

"Wasn't that exciting?" He stood. "Come on, I want more of those."

Light stood up and looked at the man. "Are you okay?"

"I am fine, why?"

"You just got hit in the face with a volleyball and passed out." He raised his eyebrows at Ryuuzaki.

Ryuuzaki saw Light's concern. He'd always passed out at the sight of his own blood, for he rarely saw it. As for the ball, well, no harm, no foul. "I am fine. My nose doesn't feel broken, it was

an accident, and those toffees did the trick."

"Well, come here before you go anywhere." Light pulls him back from his dash to the sweet shop. "You still have blood on your face."

Ryuuzaki could feel his cheeks grow hot once more as Light stepped up to him and grabbed his head from behind in order to get the blood smudges. "Um…thank you."

"Don't move." Light snaps lightly.

His skin tingled as Light's fingers brushed his cheek, then along his lips. Ryuuzaki wanted to reach up and touch the teen's thin lips, and run his fingers down his strong jaw line. He was

eight-nine percent sure that Light had very soft, touch-able skin. What was he thinking? This kid was years younger than himself.

But still over eighteen…

He shook his head. "Alright, alright, sweets now." And he headed off, pulling Light off with him as he said that he wasn't sure that he got all of it off. He didn't care if there was any blood on

his face any longer, all he cared was that Light stopped touching him, for he could feel his jeans growing tight.

The detective felt…wrong as he found his eyes wondering to Light. Several times he had to force himself to look back at his banana-split. Light asked him if he was alright and Ryuuzaki had

to lie, saying that he was fine, and had a small headache.

So they went back to headquarters.

At headquarters, Ryuuzaki separated himself as far as he could to Light at the computers. He keep his eyes glued to the computer screen. Unfortunate to him, Light kept finding things

interesting on the Kira case and would slide over next to him and, getting much too close, would share everything he though about.

All of which was very helpful to the case, and all of which would have had Ryuuzaki's brain ringing with new things, had it not been Light his mind was buzzing about, and his eyes keep glued

too.

"Are you alright Ryuuzaki?" Light asked on his fifth time of showing the detective more strange murders, murders that had to have been done by Kira.

Ryuuzaki turned his eyes away and muttered something Light couldn't hear.

"I'm sorry, didn't catch that."

"I'm fine." He said firmly. By mistake, he looked right into Light's beautiful chestnut eyes, he was also trying to get Light off his back about acting strange around him now.

"Hey Ryuuzaki, it's nearly ten…" Matsuda started.

Both men looked at him. "Oh, oh yes." Ryuuzaki spouted out first. "You are all welcome to leave now."

"Good-night then." Souchiro stands and bows to both of them. "And Light, hurry up proving to Ryuuzaki that you are not Kira, your mother and sister miss you dearly." Ryuuzaki could feel

something fuming about Souchiro wanting to take Light away from him.

Later, as Light slept, chained to the bed and in view of the cameras, Ryuuzaki looked online for some kind of solution to this strange feeling he had for the teenager.

Light peeked his eyes open once he heard Ryuuzaki close the bedroom door softly. He slid out of bed and padded over to the bathroom, the chain clinked.

Ryuuzaki heard a clank of metal on metal and looked to the monitor. Light was halfway to the bathroom, staring at the chain on the bed. "Damn it Ryuuzaki." He cursed.

He'd forgot to change out the chains again. Oops.

Light walked back over to the bed, and from under his side of the bed he pulled out a flashlight and a book he was reading on nights like this. He would read to pass the time until Ryuuzaki

came back and let him go to the bathroom. Ryuuzaki averted his eyes back onto the computer screen.
