Capture
It was the next morning that she had heard the yells and commands. Her eyes opened tiredly and she sat up from her mat. What was going on? Good peeked out her window to see a few of their guards dragging someone in through the gates. A prisoner? Who? Whoever it was didn't seem so happy right now. Deciding to quickly dress, Good rushed out her door to see. Today instead of a blue kimono she wore a gold one with flower designs all over it.
"Be careful, Good-denka. We wouldn't want anything happening to you." The voice caught her off guard but she soon realized it to be her own personal guard, Light. She looked nervously at her new guard as she felt uncomfortable around him. But she gave a small nod anyways and stopped a few feet away from the strange prisoner. He wore green mostly and had dark hair as well as eyes. At full height she estimated him to be about 5' 8" or maybe 5' 10"? He was awful skinny for a male, too. Who was this man? Why did she feel him to be familiar? She had never seen this man in her life! "What's going on?"
"We found him ransacking through the dead bodies of those men who attacked you." Light's copper optics shifted over to her and skimmed up and down her body. She will do...
"Oh," Good's voice faded as she thought back to the man who had saved her. If only she could see him...Good looked quietly into the man's dark gaze. "What is your name?"
"..." He gave a stubborn look, though it was a good time. He could finally have her know something about him, though she wouldn't know it was him. "...Rue Ryuuzaki."
"Ryuuzaki...what were you doing with the bodies?" Good watched him with curiosity. This man seemed like something else. She could tell by the look in his eyes and she liked it.
L merely shrugged, "looking for something interesting?"
"Eh..." Good frowned, "I see." She brushed her brunette hair behind her ear. "We have to hold you for a bit."
"Hold him?" Light frowned, "why not just kill him?"
"No! He has done no wrong," Good walked up to him and placed her hand on his cheek. Her eyes slightly widened such a familiar touch. "He will stay...with Light and myself."
"Are you crazy?" Light arched a brow.
"He's not going to do anything; his arms will be chained as well as his legs." Good shrugged and her eyes shifted down shyly. Usually anyone could pressure her to do what they wanted her to do. But not this time, she would get this to work. She wanted this man to be near her, she was interested in him. "Please, Light! You'll be there to watch and to make sure!"
"Hnn," Light glared at L, "fine, but he better not try anything."
"Arigato!" Good blushed darkly as she was proud to have won that. She knew it was bad to let pressure work against her. Good would have to work on not letting it get to her. She took the chains and headed for the living room with Light on her and L's trail. Good noticed Ryuuzaki was following her without struggle. Good wasn't strong and he could easily get away from her. She wondered how he could be so calm about this. Did he want this or something?
"Good-denka," Light spoke up and moved closer to her, "I must speak to you when we get...that in the house and settled."
"Ok and his name is Rue Ryuuzaki," Good scolded gently, "he is not a that."
"Mmmhmm, sure," Light opened the door and let her in. "Were will he be staying?"
"In my room," Good responded, "we'll leave him there except when eating or wherever I take him with me, hai?" She smiled softly at how confident she had sounded.
"Alright," Light responded, unphased. It made Good frown and look at her feet. He opened the door and gestured her to enter, "after you, Good-denka."
"Domo arigato, Light-kun," Good gave a small bow of her head. She entered the room, pulling L along with her. It was the living room with a low, cherry tree table and soft mats around it. A chestnut bookcase was on the farthest wall from the sliding door. Shogi was on the low table as well as small teacups made from china on a tray. Good tugged L softly over to the table, "would you like some tea, Ryuuzaki?"
"Only if you want me to have some, Good-denka," L shrugged as he took a seat on the mat. He assumed his awkward position which made Light scowl.
"If you're from Japan you should know pointing your feet like that is rude," Light's eyes narrowed at L. He crossed his arms at the man's response.
L merely shrugged at Light, "this is how I usually sit."
"Bu-!"
"It's alright," Good cut Light off, "will you fetch us some tea, please?"
"...Fine," Light eyed L hatefully before disappearing into the kitchen.
"Not very friendly, huh?" L watched Good sit beside him. He lightly bit the skin at the edge of his thumb.
"He's protective," Good murmured, eyes shifting over to him, "and strict." She tilted her head a bit, "why were you around those bodies, anyways?"
"No reason," L replied in a monotone, "just looking."
"I don't believe you," Good smiled softly, "I can see it in your eyes, and you're lying."
"Ah, really?" L studied her face, "are you good at seeing who lies?"
"Hai," Good responded and smiled at him, "you're also lying about your name."
"Ah, you are sharp," L chuckled.
"The tea is ready," Light entered warily as if he expected L to be doing something to Good. He sat the cups up and began to pour the tea, his eyes never leaving L. It seemed he was read to slice him up at the slightest twitch. "Now...I must discuss with you some news I have to share."
"What is it?" Good sipped at her tea, watching L put loads of sugar in his cup.
"Well, you've been promised to someone as of today."
L nearly spit his tea out, but he managed to stop himself. His dark eyes stared at Light and then shifted to Good. The young woman had stopped drinking her tea and was staring at him.
"W-who...?" Good whispered.
"Me," Light smirked.
