"Onion Soup"
- Sayu! Sayu! Wait! – Kaoru ran after her best friend, Sayu Yagami, the youngest of the Yagami family, sister of Light Yagami, a handsome boy who also happened to be top student in the nation, once winner of the tennis championship or as Kaoru called him "the love of her life".
- Kaoru-san! – Sayu turned to face her – I'm sorry, I didn't hear you before!
- It's ok, Sayu… - Kaoru gave away a gesture with her hand, showing her she didn't mind much about her friend's mistake – I hope you haven't forgotten we were supposed to study together today!
- In fact… I think I did – Sayu replied, in embarrassment – but why don't you come home after meal and we can have a study then… I just need to have a talk through it with mom…
-Ok, Sayu – Kaoru gave her friend a fake wide smile – I'll see you later, then.
Sayu walked away after she waved at her friend, goodbye and Kaoru stood there, watching her till she disappeared from her view. She was actually quite disappointed: she was hoping Sayu would invite her in for meal so she could eat in the same table as "the love of her life, Light Yagami".
She sighed, knowing she had just lost her chance and turned to walk home.
- Why is it so hard? – She thought to herself. It wasn't like she was hoping for a lot! She only wanted for Light to know her and realize they were made for each other, and yes, she was young, but love wasn't about age… and surely Light would knew about it once he knew how cute she was.
She sighed again, heavily, kicking her backpack in anger and hopelessness.
- I'm home, mom! – She announced as soon as she came inside the two-floor house. She smelt the scent of recently prepared food and the regret for not being eating at the Yagami's house vanished, after all, her mom was an outstanding cook.
- Kaoru, sweetie! – Her mom said in surprise, coming out of the kitchen to find her – I thought you'd be with your friend Sayu!
- We decided we'd study after meal – Kaoru explained her mother, not very happily: she wasn't quite pleased her mother would remember her she was not with Light right now.
- I see – her mother nodded – well, come and sit! I made your sister's favorite!
- Oh no! – Kaoru sighed: her sister's favorite food was "onion soup", which she totally hated.
- Oh yes! – Kaoru's little sister, Yu Yan, came out of nowhere, spoon in hand – Bring me the soup, mom!
- Yuck! – Kaoru watched Yu Yan help huge amounts of soup inside her mouth and chew in excitement – I think I'll skip food for today… I think I had too much for breakfast… - she gave a last look to the table: her dad had joined Yu and her mother in the table, and then she moved
upstairs to her bedroom. She dropped herself in her bed and daydreamt for a while… about Light.
She remembered the day they had met:
About a month ago, it was raining and Kaoru was outside the school, soaking wet, and waiting for her mother to take her home. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tall, handsome boy came along from the distance, holding an umbrella.
Then she heard Sayu, a girl from her class with whom she had never spoken before, calling his name – Light! You came to get me!
Light? That was his name? Well, it surely suited him.
- Hey, Sayu! – He smiled at her – Mom and dad sent me… I brought you an umbrella so you won't get wet… - he handed her a small pink umbrella, and afterwards, he noticed someone was glaring at them: Kaoru, who had been sitting, soaking wet in a bench nearby. – Hey! You'll get sick if you stay out in the rain! – He walked to her.
Kaoru blushed with the little heat she had left – I'm ok – she shivered as she answered to him – My mom will be here in a moment…
- Kaoru-san? – Sayu came, from behind Light – Light, this is Kaoru and she's in my class…
- Kaoru? – Light asked her; she nodded shyly – Why don't you come with us? We can call your mother or even take you home… Come! We can share an umbrella!
Kaoru looked up at Light, she couldn't resist his sweet smile… - Thanks – she grabbed her backpack and stick to Light inside the umbrella.
