CHAPTER 4: Yagami…Light Yagami

"Hello, you must be Akira." Mr. Yagami asked. I nodded silently and smiled warmly. Well as warm as I could be after seeing my best friend has tears in her eyes.
"Hi, I'm Sayu Yagami! I'm pleased to meet you!" the black haired girl smiled. She was probably a year younger then me but her attitude was that of a much younger girl. I chuckled.
"Pleased to meet you too, I'm happy to be here." I dipped my head in gratitude and slowly followed Soichiro; I pushed the cart in front of me and gazed at the new found place I was. It was a modern airport but crowded with the many people who struggled to board one flight and leave another. The tapping of my converse could hardly be heard and I quickly grasped the cross around my neck. I have never—and never will be—religious but it has kept me safe and secure for years. I stepped outside onto the pavement and immediately found the most different thing between Canada and Japan. In Canada it is humid and in Japan there was a dry heat and for once I felt guilty in wearing so much black…
"So your from Canada, how is it there?" Sayu asked.
"Large, boring and cold most of the time. It's not like here; it has a nothing happening to it." I quietly answered her. Sayu smiled, "your cute, I hope my brother finds you that also!" Her brother wait a second, Raid you dumbass we never agreed to this. I tried to frown but a smile crept in instead. I settled myself into the comfortable Mercedes Benz and began to gaze out the window, trying to get lost in thought. Sadly the black haired girl that sat in front of me asked question after question, one of them being my favorite.
"So are you a hard goth or a Lolita?" she asked while studying me. I narrowed my eyes. The nerve of this girl asking if I was Lolita! To be a bratty, spoiled and kiddish goth was absolutely horrifying.
"I'm hard gothic, I find Lolita to immature. I'm sorry if I offend you…" I added on.
"No not at all, I was just wondering you seemed really different then the ones I see here…" she giggled again. I smiled warmly, she seemed to be a good person. I was a good judge of character and this girl seemed okay in my books. The streets and people passed by my window and I felt myself doze off. I checked my watch and saw that it was 11 o'clock, my parents were probably going to sleep about now back in Kitchener. I felt myself doze off but –what seemed like a few minutes—I felt someone poke me. My green eyes snapped open and I lurched forward. I came face to face with a pair of black eyes. Sayu.
"Sorry to disturb you but we're here!" she said. I looked around, indeed the busy streets and bustling people had been replaced with a quiet street and a white modern house. It seemed exceedingly tidy from the front but who knows what lay inside.
"Welcome to the Yagami home." Soichiro spoke. I looked up at him, I was short okay? Raid was taller then me by 2 inches. I walked up to the brown heavy door and waited patiently as Mr. Yagami opened it and I stepped in. At once I was hit with the aroma of Japanese food and a happy voice that reminded me of Sayu. A woman in her forties stumbled through the hallway and looked in our direction. She had short black hair and black eyes that matched, she was wearing an apron and she had the biggest smile ever. She reminded me of my mother and I felt a pang of home sickness.
"Hello, welcome to our humble home. My name is Satiko Yagami." She grinned warmly. I dipped my head.
"The pleasure is all mine, I am so happy to be here and what a beautiful home you have." It was true, it was furnished modernly, it seemed like I would easily fit in here.
"My name is Akira Takai." I finished. No way was I giving out my middle name, not when Kira is out there. Suddenly another pair of footfalls sounded. I turned toward the staircase and my heart stopped beating when I saw a young man drop down from the last step. He was tall and thin, had broad shoulders and red hair. His eyes were a soft brown but it held a hint of authority. I could tell her was smart, the way he dressed and looked around. He seemed surprised to see me and then realization hit him.
"Oh I'm sorry, you must be the exchange student here. I am so sorry I could not have been there to see you here but my name is Light Yagami. If you need anything then just ask." He spoke kindly but firmly. Well isn't he curt? But in the end all I did was blush.
"Ummm the name's Akira Takai. And it's a real pleasure to meet you!" I smiled. He smiled back and my heart fluttered. Okay Akira please stops flirting, not to mention I didn't know I could flirt...
"Would you like something to eat?" Satiko asked, her hand beckoned to the kitchen and I nodded hungrily. Okay hot guy, good food and a warm family? What was not to like?
