Chapter 2

Ruki finally entered her house. "Hello?" She called. "Mom?"

"In here, dear," Mrs. Yakahana called. She sat in a chair in their living room, looking through a scrap book, her legs crossed comfortably beneath her.

Ruki came into the living room. "Hi, Mom," she said, hugging her mother and planting a kiss on her cheek.

Mrs. Yakahana smiled. "Hi, sweetie," she replied. "How was your day at school?"

"Oh, you know," Ruki replied in a carefree voice. "Same old, same old, but it was still a nice day. I'm going to go up and do my homework."

"Oh, ok. I'll call to you when it's time for dinner."

"Ok, Mom."

Once Ruki was in her room, she took out her books. 'Man, homework sucks,' she thought, rifling through pages. 'Oh, well. Got to do what you got to do.'

Half an hour later, Ruki finished her homework. She scooped up the book she'd been reading in her free time. It was by an American author who went by the name of David Almond.

The book was called Skellig and it was about a young boy named Michael who found a strange, humanoid creature named Skellig. At first, Michael had thought that Skellig might be a monster and was afraid, but after a while stopped being afraid of him.

Ruki understood. She had been afraid of L when she had first met him, but in time, she had come to like and later, she had discovered that she was in love with him.

First, she noticed the small things like the way he sat or the way he held things with his fingers, but pretty soon Ruki discovered that she loved everything about him.
