Hello! This is another fanfic by me! I was bored! So at least I was doing something semi-constructive!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Death Note or it's characters...unfortunatly, I'm not that smart

Here we go!

'Gah! I'm so bored,' Amagawa Yoshiko thought, sitting in her English class. 'Why can't they make this just a little more interesting?'

She let out a long, drawn-out sigh and glanced out the window. By a stroke of fate, as she would later describe the incident, she happened to catch sight of a black notebook hitting the grass several floors below the classroom window she happened to be sitting by.

'Did anyone else see that?' she asked herself, glancing forward. She saw that the boy in front of her was staring out at window as well. 'Yagami Light-kun,' she thought. 'Did you see that?' She let out another sigh. 'If you did, I'll have to beat you to it.'

"I can't believe it!" she growled in frustration, slumping against the wall just outside the classroom. "Detention because I failed one test?! At least it doesn't start until tomorrow."

"Maybe you should ask for a tutor? Light-kun is a smart one. I hear he's single!" Fukao Shun giggled.

"I have no time to think about boys, Shun-chan. I have to bring my grades up," Yoshiko replied. 'Light-kun...have you gone to the notebook yet?'

Shun crossed her arms and stuck out her lip. "Hey, there's a party tonight. You should come, it'll be fun." Then, seeing the way Yoshiko was about to protest, she added, "It'll be the last party until you buckle down and get serious about school."

"No can do, Shun-chan. Sensei already called my mom. I'm surprised she hasn't called me on my mobile phone to tell me how grounded I am yet," Yoshiko insisted.

Shun shrugged. "Have it your way. I'll see you later, Yoshiko-chan!" she called as she took off down the hallway at a brisk pace.

Yoshiko let out yet another sigh. "I guess I should still go see if the notebook's still there," she said to herself, walking down the hallway and out of the building. She glanced towards where the notebook would be. She strolled over to the patch of grass.

'It's gone,' she thought. She let out a sigh, but then glimpsed something small and black in the grass. She bent and picked it up. 'An eraser? It's just a simple school supply, but it seems important somehow. I'll keep it, but it seems as though Light-kun has been here already.'

Suddenly, she let out a shriek. Her hand flew to her side, only to realize that her phone was going off. It was on vibrate.

"It's ok! Just my phone vibrating at me!" she called to the students who had looked up in alarm. "Hello?"

"Amagawa Yoshiko!! Where are you?!" her mother's voice called through the phone. She held the device at arms length, wincing at the angry voice of her mother.

"I'm sorry, Mom! I'm on my way home, but I was going to stop by someone's house to ask for help with my English!" she replied in a hurried tone.

"Oh, really? And who would this be?"

"Yagami Light-kun."

"Hmm...Well, I disapprove, because he is a boy. But he is smart, and he seems nice. I guess you can ask, but come home straight afterwards. You have chores to do!" her mother snapped, and then added, "Cousin Yokiro's wedding is next week. She called for you and said she had a favor to ask."

And with that, the line was cut, and Yoshiko let out another long sigh.

"I guess I'm actually asking him then," she said to herself. 'And if I happen to see the notebook, well that's just a bonus.'

Yoshiko hesitated for a moment, her hand poised just inches from the Yagami family's door. 'I should just leave now...' she let out a sigh. 'Damn my curiosity.'

She rapped her knuckles on the door and waited patiently, tempted to just run off and forget about the strange notebook and any chances to get help with her English.

She turned away from the door, giving in to the voice of the scared little girl in her head, just as it opened.

"Oh, hello, Yoshiko-chan!" a girl said cheerfully upon seeing Yoshiko on the doorstep.

"Hi, Sayu-chan," she replied. "Is Light-kun home?"

Sayu gave a quick nod and took off into the house, leaving Yoshiko to wonder if she should step inside. She took a cautious step across the threshold, glancing to her left and then her right. She could hear Sayu calling to Light from somewhere farther in the house.

'I wonder if this notebook is even worth it...It could just be someone's math notes,' she thought. 'At least I might get a shot at passing English.'

"Ah, Yoshiko-chan! Long time no see, eh?" Light said sarcastically with a laugh, pulling Yoshiko from her thoughts.

She gave him a little laugh, nervously rubbing the back of her neck. "Hey, Light-kun, I was wondering..." she said, trailing off.

"Yes?" he said after she paused for a little too long. She looked up at him.

'Wow...he's a lot taller than I am.'

It was true. He was about a foot taller than she was.

"I'm failing English," she stated bluntly. "I was wondering if you would help me out." She did her best to keep her dark gray eyes locked with his light brown ones, no matter how badly she wanted to look away.

He looked down at her for a moment. "You want me to tutor you?" She gave a quick, determined nod. "Alright. I'll help you. When do you want to start?"

She smiled in relief. "Well, I'm not sure. I have to rush home, 'cause my mom's gonna kill me if I don't. I'll call you to work it out, kay?"

He nodded, and she turned and walked out the door.

"See you later, Yoshiko-chan!" Light called after her.

She waved back at him and continued to stroll down the street at a quick pace, headed for home.

'I didn't see the notebook, but at least now I have a chance to later,' she thought, taking off at a run.
