Matsuda's Point Of View

"Included in the force? But why? H-How?" I stuttered.

"Well, look at her, everyone thought that she was nice, kind and cheerful, but when I asked her not to come here again… Well, you saw her outburst, didn't you?" L said.

We all looked at each other.

"Well, yes, but I don't see the point," I replied.

"Matsuda, Akemi can perhaps be quite a good spy for the case," L explained.

"A… spy?" I murmured.

"Yes. Well, since we're figuring out who this Kira is, whoever we suspect it is, Akemi-chan can get close to them, with that nice personality of hers, then, she'll catch him,"

"Actually… that's not a bad idea," Chief Yagami said after a few seconds of silence.

"To add to that, Akemi-chan is the second top student in the school," L mentioned.

I nodded.

"Watari," L said.

"Hai, L?" Watari said.

"I'd like you to get cameras installed in Akemi-chan's home," L instructed.

I gasped. "But L-san! Akemi and I live in the same house! And why would you want to have cameras in the house for?"

"I want to see if she's suitable for this," L spoke.

I looked down at my lap.

"Matsuda, do I have your permission?" L asked.

I looked at the camera.

I hesitated. "H-Hai,"

"Good. Remember, Matsuda, you mustn't tell her about this,"

Akemi's Point Of View

-x-x-x-x-

I was at home; Light walked me to my house.

I was still angry at L, but I was calm enough not to think about it.

I slipped on my glasses (yes, I have glasses...) and began reading a book and watching the TV at the same time, until I heard the door open.

I turned around to see Matsuda smiling. "Tadaima (I'm home), Akemi,"

I smiled back. "Okaerinasai (Welcome back / home), onii-chan,"

He chuckled and put on his slippers.

He sat down next to me, also watching the TV.

I slowly took off my glasses and faced my brother.

"Listen, onii-chan…" I began.

He looked at me. "Hai?"

"About what happened at the office…? I'm sorry about screaming at you, and… at L," I apologized.

Matsuda smiled. "Its okay, Akemi, it's completely understandable,"

I sighed. "I'm glad to hear that,"

I gave Matsuda his dinner, as I already ate mine.

"Onii-chan, I'm going to bed now. Oyasuminasai (Goodnight)," I said.

Matsuda nodded. "Oyasuminasai,"

L's Point Of View

I squatted on the floor contently in the dark, looking at the computer screen.

Matsuda left the building early, saying that he needed to drop his sister early to school tomorrow.

I was very sure that Yagami Light was going to walk Akemi to school, as it seemed that they were 'together' … as in, dating.

The rest of the force stayed in the building, sitting quietly, waiting for my dismissal.

Chief Yagami began, "L, is it okay if we lea—"

"I'd like you to meet me in person. All of you," I interrupted.

Their eyes widened.

"I-In person? But why?" Aizawa questioned.

"If you're all willing to risk lives on this case & work with me, you must know how I look like, in reality, in order to trust me, correct?"

"Yes…" Chief Yagami hesitated.

"Please notify Matsuda of this & I'll meet you tomorrow. Watari will give you the location and time. Please do not be late," I said before switching off my computer.

Akemi's Point Of View

I did my morning routine the next day and when I finished putting on my uniform, I heard a knock at the front door.

I ran downstairs and opened to find Light standing on my doorstep. "Light!"

Smiling, he said, "It's okay if I walk you to school, right?"

I stood there, surprised. "Well, since you're already here, I guess so,"

Matsuda came walking down the stairs, fixing his tie. "Are you ready to go? Oh! Good morning, Light-kun!"

I smiled. "Onii-chan, Light will be walking me to school today; you don't have to take me to school,"

Matsuda nodded. "Ah, okay. I suppose I'll finish some paperwork or something with my spare time"

I nodded and smiled. "Ittekimasu (I'll be going but I'll be back),"

"Itterasshai (Have a good time, See you later)," Matsuda replied.

-x-x-x-x-

Light and I had reached the school.

As we entered the gates, Light's friend, Akira, ran over to his side.

"Yo, Light," He leaned over to look at me. "Good morning, Akemi-chan!"

I smiled in return. "Good morning to you too, Akira-kun,"

He grinned and walked over to my side.

"So… Akemi-chan, what's up with you and Light?" He asked.

I looked up at him, slightly confused. "We're very good friend, Akira-kun,"

He raised his eyebrows. "Hm? Really? That's not what people have been saying,"

My eyes widened. "People have been… talking about me?"

"You and Light, to be precise," Akira answered. "People have been saying that you know… You guys are dating… or having a relationship. Somewhere along those lines..."

"W-What?" I blushed.

"I wouldn't blame them though; the two smartest students in the school. Looks like a modern fairytale just waiting to come true,"

"But what made them think that?" I asked.

"You two have been hanging out a lot recently, people can't help but talk about it," Akira answered.

I blushed harder. "But it's not true…"

Akira chuckled. "Its okay, Akemi-chan,"

Light sighed. "Don't worry about them, Akemi. People are just entertaining themselves because of their boring lives,"

I pressed my lips together. "I guess… You're right,"

We entered the classroom together. The whole class erupted into applause.

"E-EH?!" I stood there astounded.

Light also looked concerned.

One of the girls in our class, Maki, ran up to us, giggling. "Congratulations, Akemi-san! I heard about your relationship with Light-kun! Ahh! You two are so CUTE together!"

"A-Anou, Maki-san—" I began.

"Ne, ne, Akemi-san! Perhaps you could go on a double date with me?! Well, I don't exactly have a boyfriend yet, but I want to hang out with you sometime!" Maki cut off.

I cringed. "But, Maki-san Light and I—"

Light stopped me from saying anything else. "Hey, Akemi… I was going to tell you earlier…"

I looked at him. "Nani?"

"Let's go somewhere nice together tonight," Light said.

I was shocked. "A-As in a… d-date?!"

Light smiled. "Yeah,"

Maki squealed. "Ahh! Light-san even asked her out in public! Look how much Akemi-san is blushing!!"

My face heated up. "I-I'm not blushing!"

Maki giggled. "That's what you think, Akemi-san!"

I frowned and pushed Light outside the classroom to talk privately.

I began, "Light, you know we're not actually—"

"Akemi, it sounded weird, I know, but I wanted to ask you out before, because I mean, we were once best friends right? I was upset after you moved away, because that day I wanted to ask you out on a date, but then I couldn't and—"

I placed my finger on his lips. "You're running out of breath,"

He sighed. "Sorry, I… must've acted like an idiot,"

I shook my head and smiled. "I'd like to have a date with you, Light,"

He smiled back.

-x-x-x-x-

"You're… You're going on a date with Yagami Light-kun?!" My brother's voice echoed throughout the house.

I grimaced. "I-I understand if you don't want me to go,"

The school day had quickly passed by, and as soon as I came home I told my brother about what was happening between me and Light.

Matsuda shook his head rapidly, with a great big grin on his head. "Ah! No! No, no, no!! This is GREAT!"

"Eh?"

"If you have a date with Light-kun, maybe the chief might like me more! Maybe he'll give me a promotion! Ahh I can't wait to see the chief's reaction to this!"

"You… want me to date Light for your job?" I asked, hurt.

Matsuda shook his head. "No! I know it sounded selfish, but you're still my little sister. I want you to do what makes you happy,"

I giggled. "I'm happy to go out with Light, Onii-chan,"

Matsuda grinned. "Well, don't just stand here! Get dressed and CAPTURE LIGHT-KUN'S HEART!!"

I shook my head, smiling. "You make it sound so… big,"

"Because it is!" He said, as he began pushing me upstairs to my room.

-x-x-x-x-

I managed to find an outfit for dinner with Light.

It would've been better if my brother had stopped banging on my door, telling me to hurry up.

I walked down the stairs and asked my brother, "Well… Uh, how do I look?"

My brother looked at my outfit and tilted his head.

"Is it that bad...?" I asked.

He cringed. "Well, I mean, maybe you think this date is a little too big?"

I frowned. "You were the one who said that in the first place!"

Matsuda chuckled. "I'll try to find something nice in your wardrobe. Maybe something less… flashy,"

He quickly ran up the stairs, leaving me in my horrible taste of clothes.

I looked down at my clothes.

He was so right.

What was I thinking, wearing some glittery top?! And on top of that, I wore a feather boa?

Oh god, I was really out of my mind when I picked these clothes…

Thank god I have a uniform to go to school in.

After a few minutes Matsuda called me from my bedroom.

I then found an outfit I didn't even know I had.

"It's… So cute…" I mumbled.

It was a white dress above my knees, with light blue lace lining. Matsuda had found a white scarf and shoes to go with it as well.

I looked at my brother. "How… What… Huh?"

Matsuda chuckled. "I had a few friends who were in the fashion industry… They taught me a few things… I had bad taste in clothes as well,"

I giggled. "I suppose it runs in the family…" I said as I remembered what my family used to wear whenever we went out.

-x-x-x-x-

I had finished putting the dress on, and I told Matsuda that it was okay for him to come inside.

He opened the door and smiled softly. "You look beautiful. Just like… mother,"

I smiled back at him. "Arigato… Onii-chan,"

The doorbell rang and Matsuda hurried downstairs.

"Light-kun! Come inside," I heard my brother say.

I walked out of my room and slowly walked down to Light.

I spotted him standing in front of my brother, talking.

When he saw me, I smiled.

"You ready?" I asked.

"Yeah,"

AGAIN I'm REALLY sorry this is a late chapter! Like I said, I went overseas and there was no computer, no internet, NOTHING! But please! I worked hard on this chapter and I REALLY hope you all enjoy it! PLEASE REVIEW!! It'll make me all the more happy!
