Monday morning comes; Light gets out of bed and stretches out his arms. While Light gets dressed, Ryuk asks, "Hey Light, you excited to see that Raven girl again?" Light smiles a little bit, then replies with,
"What makes you think that, Ryuk?"
"No reason, really. You just look at her in a way that makes it look like you like her." Light's eyes widen a bit, and then he laughs,
"That's ridiculous, Ryuk. I don't have time for a relationship…" Ryuk laughs, and Light imagines Raven. Her long, black hair, her black, skull-patterned shirt, her black, ripped skinny jeans and combat boots. She is kind of cute… Then Light shakes his head. What am I thinking? I don't like her, and I don't have time… Light grabs his bag and walks downstairs, going to have some breakfast and then go to school.
…
Raven watches the sun rise, thinking about her conversation with L on Saturday night:
"What do you have in mind?"
"Well, Kira probably enjoys meeting his followers in some way or another… And if Light truly is Kira, he would probably love someone as smart as him to help him… Since you, Raven, are as smart as he is, you can probably figure something out by gaining his trust and being friends with him…"
Raven stands, deciding to start heading to school. It won't be easy to gain his trust… Especially if he really is Kira… This is going to take a long time. She notices Light walking in the distance and sighs. She looks closely, and notices something weird. Is he talking to himself? She stops for a second and almost jumps when he looks back a moment later. Did he hear me? She takes in a breath, lets it out, then waves shyly to him.
…
Light looks back at Raven, noticing that she looks a little startled. Then she waves at him, and he smiles and waves back. As she runs over to his side, he says, "Morning, Raven."
"Morning…" She replies a bit quietly. She's shy, and is probably still trying to get comfortable around me…
"How was your weekend?" Light asks casually. Raven bites her lip, then says,
"Okay. How was yours?" Light shrugs,
"Same that I always have."
"Oh…" Raven says, looking down at her feet. They walk into the school, going to their first class. Light looks consistently at Raven, not able to keep his eyes off of her. What am I doing? Kira shouldn't be checking out a girl… He looks away, getting annoyed with himself. What is it about her that I find so intriguing? She's very pretty, yes, but there's got to be something else that's attracting me to her! Light continues thinking for a moment, then looks back at Raven, Maybe I shouldn't worry about it… "Light?" She says, and Light snaps back to reality, not realizing he had spaced out for so long.
"Yes? What is it?" He replies back to her.
"Are you okay? You look… troubled by something…" He looks at Raven's concerned gaze,
"I'm fine; there's nothing wrong…" Light shrugs casually as he usually does. But there's something about you that I need to know… And I'm going to find it out.
"Okay, if you're sure…" Raven says, then sits down in her seat, Light sitting in the seat next to her.
…
Raven glances at Light every few minutes, trying to see behind his mask… if there is one. The look on his face before class started was looking very annoyed and a bit… confused. It doesn't seem natural for someone as perfect as Light Yagami. Of course, everyone gets annoyed, but Light Yagami shouldn't be so confused like that… From what L has told her from his surveillance, and from what she has seen from being with him, he is someone who is definitely doesn't get confused easily.
What is he confused about? Being someone who watches and listens more than talks, it gets easier for her to tell how people are feeling by their facial expression. The hard part is finding out why. What is it you're confused about Light Yagami? What's going through that thick, complicated head of yours? Light catches her next glance, and she immediately looks back down at her desk. Crap… He's probably able to read my face as well…
…
Light looks at Raven once again; it's hard for him to take his eyes off of her. But he saw her looking at him. It looked as if she was trying to figure something out… I'd better keep a very close eye on her… He looks back up to the front of the classroom, appearing as if he's paying attention. His eyes move back to her more seriously. What is there for you to figure out, Raven? I have nothing to hide… He smirks a bit, from you, anyway.
School eventually ends, and Light walks out with Raven. "So, Raven, would you like to come over to my house tonight?" Raven looks at him, looking a bit surprised. Then she smiles,
"Sure." Light smiles, giving her his address.
"I'll see you tonight then."
….
Raven walks to her apartment after school, and her phone begins to ring. Oh good, I wanted to talk to him before going to Light's house… She answers the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello Raven. I wanted to check up on you and your progress with Light Yagami. How are things?" Raven tells him everything that has gone today, like his annoyed and confused look.
"I see…" L says, sounding as if he's thinking about it.
"Yeah, and he invited me to his house tonight."
"Oh… This should be quite interesting, especially since you've only known each other for about a week. Please tell me how it goes; I'll call you tomorrow." Raven hears the other line go out, and she hangs up. She has to go to Light's house in a couple of hours. This should be really interesting… Maybe I'll found out more about him at his home… Raven sits down on the couch of her apartment, a little excited to go to Light, and possibly Kira's house. There's something about you, Light, and I'm going to get proof that you are indeed the infamous Kira…
A/N: I am sorry for the long delay! Life has been busy (part of it being role play). I hope I did well on this chapter. Please please PLEASE REVIEW and tell me what you think! ;)
