Hello my friendly friends. I'm so sad. I got no reviews last chapter. I don't want to have to threaten you for reviews... Reviews are fuel for the author! More reviews, faster updates... Heheheheheheheheheh.

Oh, and by the way, sorry if my characters are a bit OOC.

Warnings: I warn you for slight fluffyness, as well as a bit of... well... yeah. I can't think of anything else for now...

Disclaimer: I only own Maru-chan. No one else, and be grateful I don't. Hehehehe.

Where we ended last time:

Maru was inside Light's room, when she found the false bottomed drawer, and opened it, finding the Death Note! Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door, and Light came in, right after she hurriedly put everything back the way it was, but stuffing the Death Note in her jacket. How will she get the Death Note back in the drawer before Light finds it missing, and will she figure out that Light is Kira?

Maru was trying to hide her shock and stress at Light being there, and she hid it well. Light didn't notice anything strange, other than the fact that she was leaning on his desk, but she seemed like the kind of girl who'd do that thing. He shrugged, and walked inside his room. He quickly glanced at Ryuk. He was staring at Maru with an odd expression.

"Pardon me," he said to Maru. "I need to use the washroom."

Light walked out of the room. He went downstairs to the bathroom, and went inside. "Ryuk, what's wrong?"

Ryuk frowned. "I'm not really sure. There's something odd about that girl. You're going to need to watch her closely."

Maru sighed with relief once Light had left. She left no hesitation, and quickly opened the drawer that the 'Death Note' had been in. Maru stuffed the notebook back into the drawer, and shut it, replacing the pen where she'd found it. She closed her eyes, and took steady breaths, making sure to keep calm. She smiled to herself. She was safe. There was no way that Light would find out she'd been into the drawer.

But then there was that weird thing that had been staring at her. Big, black, with a blue head that looked like it was sewn on it. Maru was used to weird things like that. She saw wierdness ever day of her life as she could see angels and demons. But that... thing was like a cross in between. He was like no demon Maru had ever seen. It was weird. He was blurry before she'd found the black notebook, but after, he was crystal clear.

Maru pulled out her Ipod Touch. She scrolled through her songs and found a song from Canada. She'd recently gotten infatuated with English songs after she'd first taken a course in English. Maru had ordered the Ipod touch from overseas. She'd gotten her friend, who was studying in Toronto, to buy it for her. Maru pressed play on the iPod, and put her large black and neon green headphones over her ears. An guitar solo blared at her ears, while she left Light's room, and headed down the stairs, acting like she was completely innocent.

Maru got to the bottom of the stairs, and walked into the kitchen where Light's mother was making some western food for Maru, as she hadn't eaten at all this morning. She saw Light dressed in a school uniform that looked prime and pristine. Maru rolled her eyes, and sat down at the table, the chains hooked on to her pants jingling slightly as they hit the side of the chair.

"Goodbye okaasan," said Light, walking out of the door after grabbing a perfect looking bag. He didn't bother saying goodbye to Maru. She knew he wasn't exactly thrilled at having her living with him.

Maru looked at Light's mother who was still preparing in the kitchen. "Need any help Yagami-san?"

Maru began to stand up, but was told to sit back down by Light's bustling mother. "Of course not Maru-chan. And plese, feel free to call me Sachiko. There's no need for formalities in this home. We are all family."

Maru smiled slightly at this, and sat back down. "So, Sachiko-san, what am I going to do for school?"

Light's mother smiled brightly at her. "Don't worry, Maru-chan. I have already secured a place for you at Light-kun's high school."

Maru raised her eye at this. High school. She was way to good for high school, but she didn't want to waste Light's mo- Sachiko-san's hospitality. Maru sighed inwardly, and smiled at the woman. "Thank you," she said.

Sachiko came over, and places eggs and toast on a plate. "You are starting your first class in a half an hour. Light goes early because he's paranoid." She laughed slightly.

Maru took a bite of toast. "Do I have a uniform yet?"

Sachiko smiled at her. "Yes, it's all pressed and cleaned in the livingroom."

Maru stuffed the rest of the eggs into her mouth, and then grabbed the last toast. "Thank you for breakfast, Sachiko-san. I'm going to go get ready now." Maru stood up and walked over to the livingroom. On the couch was a pressed and cleaned pleated, plaid skirt, and a white button-down dress shirt, as well as a jacket She looked at the color, and sighed. She'd need to do some alterations.

Maru piled the clothes into her arms, and jogged up the stairs to Light's room. She opened the door, and shut the door with her foot as she walked inside. Once inside, she unfolded the uniform. She looked down on it for a second, then grabbed a pair of scissors from Light's desk. She roughly cut off 5 centimeters from the bottom of the skirt, allowing the skirt to reach her middle thighs. She rifled through her stuff, and found a pair of black ripped leggings. She pulled them on, then pulled on the skirt, making the bottom half of her look as though she'd just been attacked by a person who loved cutting things.

Next, Maru grabbed the button-down shirt. She pulled it on, buttoning down the shirt, leaving the last two buttons undone, revealing the black tank top she wore underneath. She took her tie, and put it on, leaving it loose. She then went over to Light's mirror with her assortment of makeup and put them down. Why does Light-kun have a mirror anyways? Is he that infatuated with himself? she thought.

She rolled her eyes, and smirked. Grabbing her kohl eyeliner, she put on massive ammounts, and then looked at herself in the mirror. Once her eyes were successfully ringed with a half a centimeter of eyeliner, she put on dark purple eyeshadow, making her eyes look smoky purple. Next she grabbed a dark purple lipstick, and put it on. She put on some mascara as well, just to top it off.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled, satisfied with her makeup. She next grabbed a hair elastic, and tied a small part of her hair on the right side, making a ponytail. (author's note: It's like Misa's hairstyle, but with only one pigtail). She grinned, and grabbed her new brown leather bag. She put her kohl eyeliner, and lipstick inside the bag, and then grabbed her shades on the way out.

She walked downstairs, and called out, "Goodbye Sachiko-san!"

"Ah! Maru-cha-" Sachiko stopped when she saw Maru's appearance. "I, um, have directions to the... school." She held out a piece of paper.

Maru grabbed the paper. "Arigatou," she said. "Bye."

"Goodbye, Maru-chan," said Sachiko.

Maru stepped out of the door, and walked out to the sidewalk. She looked down at the paper. The instructions were simple enough. She set off, making her way through the streets, ignoring the strange looks she was getting from people.

Mary soon saw the school up ahead, and walked through the gates. People were rushing around her. She saw all types of students. There were the gals, who bleached their hair, and wore the skimpiest clothing alive. She also saw people obviously from the kendo team, as they all had their wooden swords inside a case slung around their shoulder.

She also saw the playboys, and the popular girls, as well as the student council, and the neets. She smiled, and shook her head, bumping into a boy who looked her age, sprawling him to the ground. He'd stopped right in front of her, and she'd walked right into him. Even before he turned around, she knew he was one of those boys who played around, because his entourage consisted of solely females.

Half of his entourage glared at her, while the other half helped him to his feet. As he stood, she saw that he had a bandage on his left cheek, and he looked like he'd just beaten someone up. He glared at Maru, sending imaginary shivers through her spine. However, she glared straight back at him, her looking just slightly more impressive, as she was wearing a thick layer of kohl, and looked more intimidating because of it.

"Well?" he said.

Maru paused, and then crossed her arms. "Well what?"

"What do you say?" he asked, smirking slightly.

Maru frowned for a second. "Watch where you're going next time."

The boy looked taken aback. "Excuse me?"

"Watch where you're going next time," she repeated. "By the way, do you have any candy?"

The boy opened his mouth, and then closed it like a fish would. "Waahh?"

"Candy," she stated. "Do. You. Have. Any. Candy?"

"No," he said incredulously.

"Oh, too bad. It could have counted towards your payment for stopping in front of me," she said, examining her fingernails, which were painted black.

"You are going too far," he said. "You're going to regret speaking to me like this."

Maru smirked. "Am I? Well, I might. But only if I don't get the candy you owe me."

"Urgh! You are impossible!" he yelled at her. She just smiled at him, and walked past him towards the school, but not before kissing him on the cheek briefly, smirking as he blushed furiously.

Maru climbed the steps to the school, ignoring all of the stares she'd gotten from those watching her interactions with the boy. She still didn't know his name. She sighed, and grinned. At least school wouldn't be completely boring.

Maru got inside, and went to the faculty office. She walked inside, and saw Light standing there, talkign to a teacher who was congratulating him for the top score in the Kanto area once again.

"Oy, Light-kun," she called out.

Both him and the teacher turned around, Light wearing an emotionless mask, the teacher clearly exhibiting disgust at my appearance. "And you are..." the teacher said.

"Anami Maru. Age 17, height, 5"7', weight, 126 lbs, Transfer Student extrordinaire, at your service," she said, bowing extravagantly.

The teacher rolled his eyes. "Hello Anami-san. I believe you are in the same class as Yagami-kun. Yagami-kun, if you don't mind..."

Light sighed. "No problem, sensei. Come on Maru-san."

Light led her out of the faculty office, and through the halls. She followed him, smiling slightly as she imagined what must be going through everyone's head who was watching them make their way through the hallways.

"So, Light-kun, do you have any candy?" asked Maru.

Light suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around with a confused look on his face. "Ummmm... why?"

Maru laughed, a bright laugh that captured everyone's attention in the hallway. "If you don't, don't worry about it. I have some stashed in my bag."

"Then why ask?" asked Light, shaking his head, and turning back around to face the front, and to continue their journey through the school.

"Just wondering. I'm always looking for new opportunities to make my stash bigger. So, you never answered my question. Do you have any candy?" she asked.

Light rolled his eyes. "No, but I'll get you some after school, just to shut you up," he said, joking.

Maru laughed again. Light kept his gaze fixed straight ahead, wondering what this pinkish feeling inside his heart was. Kira, the true personification of justice wasn't supposed to have pinkish feelings in his heart, but all the same. For some reason, he was looking for ways to make her laugh. Not that that meant anything, of course.

It's not like he liked her. That was definately not it. They were just roommates. And maybe friends. They certainly acted like friends, anyways. maybe she already considered them as friends... Light was snapped back to reality as Maru tapped him on the back.

He turned around. "Hm?"

"I asked what class was like for you. You're supposed to be a genius, right? So how's school?"

"Oh," he said. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

"Well, that's for sure," she said pouting.

'Well, I find school very... boring..." he said.

Maru sighed. "Great. Juuuuuust great."

"Why? I don't think you have anything to worry about. The work would be challenging for a normal student."

Maru shook her head slowly. "I'm not a normal student. I'm at least your level if not higher..."

"Well..." Light started walking again. "Good luck then."

Maru stood there for a second, startled by his use of sarcasm. Light didn't seem like the kind of person who used sarcasm in his sentances. Maru shook herself, and hurried after him.

Maru and Light arrived in the class ten minutes after the bell. Maru had walked in first to the shock of her new classmates, but as soon as Light walked in, an air of peacefulness settled on the classroom, except for a few desks in the back where there were empty seats that seemed to ooze a dark aura of uneasyness. The few people in front of the back desks kept looking towards the front of the classroom, and glancing at the door every few seconds.

The teacher looked at Maru curiously. Maru looked around at her classmates. They were all the types you'd imagine in a highschool. She turned towards the teacher.

"Um... you are...?" asked the teacher.

"Anami Maru. I just transferred here from Canada," Maru said.

"Ahhhh, yes," said the teacher. "Feel free to introduce yourself to the class."

Maru turned towards the class. She gazed at them, noticing that Light had taken his seat at the front of the class. She smiled politely at the class, and said, "Hello. My name is Anami Maru. I just transferred here from Canada."

There were a few choruses of 'Hello Anami-san', and 'Welcome, Anami-san'. The teacher turned towards her, and motioned for her to come closer.

"Maru-chan, as you hav come later on in the year, the... um... better seating has all been filled up, so for now, please sit in the back, the chair second to the window.

Maru walked over to the seat right next to the window, and sat down. Screw second to the window. Maru liked sitting next to the window. There was a few nervous mutterings going on, as she'd sat down, but it didn't faze her. She looked out the window, seemingly oblivious to the whisperings that were going on around her.

The teacher nervouly resumed class, continuing on their study of Japanese culture. Maru was half listening, mostly concentrating on the loud footsteps she heard from outside the class. She looked up just in time to see the doors to the classroom slam open, and everyone stare in horror at the door.

And, we end on a cliffhanger! Yay for them! No, not really. I hate cliffhangers so much. And I'm really sorry if there are any mistakes. I really wanted to get this chapter out for you guys, I didn't bother proofreading. So sorry about that.

Anyways, I'm going to give you the random sentance of this chapter: The elephant quietly sat on the confusing printer.
