People reading my Vampire Knight fic I am assuming are getting frustrated and I am too. :D Anyway, enough of my yammering...Enjoy the first chapter of My Love's Murderer!!
Chapter One: An Opinion
"I've always considered myself to be a very curious woman; never any trouble, I never skipped school and I attended all my classes as well as getting top grades; not very talkative I didn't have many friends because I was always focused on my studies and too shy to approach anyone; I was just a quiet, laid back person. What I was totally not expecting though, was my normal, high school life to be totally thrown and torn apart by my dreams becoming reality and then nothing but pain following me...
"Hirota, Katsuko-san, please pay attention, " Katsuko's frustrated professor tapped his ruler against the desk four times and the red-headed girl snapped out of her trance.
Katsu's golden brown eyes turned away from the willow tree outside the window and then focused on her professor, who glared at her with an irritated look. She had been the third time in counting she had spaced out like that in class today and the teacher was at the end of his string with her. Katsu gave him an apologetic look before glancing up at the clock above the door to see only a handful of seconds left of class.
"Now, for weekend's work, please read passages four to twenty and take thorough notes. You will be tested on this next Tuesday," the professor concluded and the bell rang for the weekend.
Katsuko mindlessly slipped her books into her dark yellow bag, slung it over her shoulder then headed out the door and into the bright sunlight. Katsu pulled her scarlet hair back off her neck and let it cascade down her right shoulder in flowing waves before walking further onto campus. She started to make her way home when a voice called out to her.
"Hirota-senpai! Wait up! Hirota-senpai!"
Katsuko turned her head to see a young freshmen push through the thick crowd of seniors and juniors. The girl's sleek brown pigtails hit many students in the face as she struggled to catch up with Katsu.
"Sorry! Excuse me, have something important to ask Hirota Katsuko-senpai! Whoa, sorry, excuse me! Dude, let me through!" the brunette squeaked and then managed to free her little body from the thick wall of upperclassmen.
"Iwasaki, Akasuki-san, hello," Katsuko greeted the freshmen with a smile and the little girl adjusted her pigtails.
"Hey Hirota-san! I was wondering if I could use a few minutes of your time, I know you have to work," Akasuki said and placed her pale hands on her slender hips.
"Of course, what can I help you with Iwasaki-san?" Katsuko asked pleasantly and the lower class men bit her red lower lip.
"Well, for one thing, I was hoping you could help me with some science homework after school on Monday, my grade is going down the drain and I honestly have no idea what I am doing," Akasuki said.
"Yes, I would be glad to help you Iwasaki-kun," Katsu told her and she smiled.
"Another question, what do you think of the whole Kira thing going around? It's pretty crazy right?"
Katsuko's golden brown eyes widened slightly at the sound of Kira's name. She had been thinking about the whole thing a lot recently and to tell the truth, Katsu was sincerely hoping that L would catch him.
"To tell you the truth Iwasaki-san, I am sincerely hoping L catches him," Katsu answered honestly and Akasuki's green eyes widened as if Katsu had said she was Kira.
"What?! Why Hirota-san? He's purging the world of the criminals and getting rid of all the bad people!" the freshmen exclaimed and Katsu shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, maybe for now it's just the big criminals but I think he's going get more power-hungry as time goes on and he will start killing innocent people before they are even tried for crimes. Kira-san may be doing good for now, Iwasaki-san, but think of the future as well," Katsu explained her point of view and Akasuki put a slender, pale finger to her lip.
"I suppose you're right in a way, but Kira-san is a good person," Akasuki said and Katsuko nodded, not agreeing, not disagreeing.
"Well, you have a good weekend Akasuki-san, and I will defiantly help you with science on Monday," Katsuko said and the freshmen smiled.
"Thanks so much Hirota-senpai, you're the best!" Akasuki said before giving Katsuko a wave then took off down the sidewalk.
Katsuko reached the end of the pathway and then began to turn onto the main sidewalk when a hand reached out and caught her shoulder. Startled, Katsuko whipped her head around and then met chocolate brown eyes with light brown bangs hanging in them.
"Oh! Yagami-san! You startled me!" she said and Light Yagami let go of her.
"I'm sorry to scare you but I overheard your Kira conversation with Iwasaki-san," Light said and Katsu blushed.
"Oh, did you? Well, everyone has an opinion about him, and I am very sorry if I offended you, if you're a fan of his," Katsu said and Light smirked.
"Well, I am a bit offended. Kira has been doing so much good for the society, don't you think? I mean, purging it of all the evil people in it, making a world where only the good and loving people live, isn't that an ideal world to you Hirota-san?" Light said smoothly and Katsu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"But who is Kira to decide who may live and who will die?"
"Kira is making this world a perfect place to be, and he is bringing justice everywhere," Light said and Katsuko stuck her tongue between her teeth, annoyed.
"He's also bringing widespread fear, one wrong move and Kira will get you. All he needs is a photo and your name," she said defiantly and Light's brown eyes darkened but he kept his smirk plastered across his face.
"You're very against Kira aren't you?" he asked and Katsuko nodded stiffly.
"I have high hopes of L catching him, and if he doesn't, I will," Katsu started to walk away when Light kept up to her brisk pace.
"Well, not to shatter them or anything, but L doesn't have the slightest chance of that happening."
"What makes you so sure of that Yagami-kun?"
"For one thing, Kira is always one step ahead of L. if Kira wasn't, then don't you think L would have caught him by now? All of L's agents are being slowly killed off, and it's only a matter of time before Kira gets him as well."
"I am proudly going to point out, Yagami-san, that L's identity is unknown; not even the Japanese police who are working with him know his face, real name or even his real voice. He keeps to himself, never comes out in public and even distorts his voice over the laptop he uses to talk to the police. L's a genius; he has solved every case he has ever gotten, and, never once has anyone outsmarted him," Katsuko placed her hands behind her head and gave a proud smile at the thought of her idol.
"I take it you are a huge fan of L's," Light said and Katsuko's smile widened.
"Yes, I dream of the day I will be able to work alongside of him; L's my idol! I've admired him since I first heard of the cases he's solved. It's because of him I am determined to become a detective myself and use his example as guidelines to what it takes to become a world's greatest detective," Katsuko said and Light's eyes darkened even more, but Katsuko didn't notice.
A fan of L's; this could be an issue. She's determined to hunt Kira--well me--down and finish him. I know Katsu, she's a lot of things, highly intelligent being one of them. She's already solved three incredibly hard cases and is so well known throughout Japan for her sharp mind and radiant beauty. Katsu's definitely going to be able to become a great detective, there's not doubt in my mind about it, but will she be able to do everything she says she's going to do? She has enough ambition, that's for sure, but is Katsu a threat to me? I admire her greatly, but, what if...?
"Yagami-san? Are you alright?" Katsuko's soft voice cut into Light's thoughts and he shook his head.
"Yes, I'm alright, just thinking," he said and Katsuko tilted her head a little.
"Well, I enjoyed talking with you," she said as they reached the corner, "I have to go to work, so I won't be able to walk home with you."
"Okay, I'll see you then," Light said and Katsuko smiled before departing, still oblivious to the dark, angry glare Kira was aiming at her.
