Break the Haughty

The last lecture for the day had just ended and Light was packing up his notebook, pencils and script. It had been a lovely day. L or "Ryuga" sat next to him in his peculiar crouch. He had been here the whole day, too, attending classes with him. Despite the make-belief character of their friendship, Light had to admit it had been great fun spending the day with him. Too bad he would have to kill him, sooner or later. Had they met under different circumstances, a true friendship might have evolved.
He closed his briefcase and smiled at "Ryuga".

"Thank you for coming today. I can't find anyone worth chatting with when you are not here."

"Well, maybe we can have a rematch on the tennis court some time."

"Sure."

Light shouldered his briefcase and slowly went up the stairs of the lecture hall, "Ryuga" trailing about half a step behind him. He said goodbye to Takada as they passed her by, standing in the hallway chatting with her friends.

"Will you come again tomorrow?" asked Light, when they reached the entrance.

"Not sure."

"Well, if you do, you know where to find me." Light nodded to him and opened the door.

"Bye-bye."

It was cloudy outside and the sun was already low. Light felt a sudden chill and closed his jacket.

"Those lectures are boring!" complained Ryuk.

"Unlike a shinigami, I have more in life to worry about than when to kill the next person."

"But you're a smart human, right? Can't you skip the rant?"

"No. And if I didn't go to the lecture I'd have to study at home anyway."

After sitting inside all day, he felt like taking a walk, so he directed his steps towards Ueno park. It would only take him 20, maybe 30 minutes to get to the station. Today's lecture had been interesting. All the more challenging than the high school subject matters, anyway.

L slipped out of the university entrance a couple of minutes after Light. What the university student didn't know was that L was going to follow him today. True, as of yet, there had been nothing revealed by shadowing Light, but until now he had not done it himself, so there might always be the incompetence of other people at fault.
He swung the hood of the dark pullover he had changed into over his head. Hm... Light chose the route to Ueno park. He would have preferred the crowded streets, since it would have been easier to hide among the masses, but it would be possible in the park as well. After all, he was L!

As they reached Shinobazu Pond, it was already getting dark. L could see the Benten shrine illuminated in the distance. Surrounded by skyscrapers, the park was a refuge of calm in the bustling city around it. Light was standing at the shore of the pond, looking down at the brownish ground through the shimmering water. He said something, but L couldn't understand the words. Then he turned and continued to walk the light asphalt walkway along the water. Now that it was getting dark, only few people were still in the park. A girl on a bicycle passed them by. L kept his distance. Light did probably not expect to be followed any more, but that didn't mean he was stupid.

All of a sudden, Light stopped. Getting closer, L could make out why: there were two huge men blocking his path.
