Akemi's Point Of View
Light and I walked out of the door, with me waving goodbye to my brother.
"Light! Please have her back before midnight!" My brother called.
Light nodded.
By that time, we were both heading for a restaurant. Light, being the gentleman he was, opened the front door for me and we both walked inside, our hands slowly reaching each other, and then intertwining. We were then both escorted to a table near the window and given menus.
It went kind of awkward after that.
I looked around at the other people and noticed that Light and I were probably the only teenagers there.
"Hey, Light?" I murmured.
"Yes?" He replied.
"Do you go to this restaurant often?"
"I do occasionally, with my family. Why?"
"I'm not sure if you haven't noticed, but don't you feel a little… intimidated? I mean, there are all these adults and… uh…"
"I find it interesting with the way they react to us,"
"Interesting?"
"Sometimes people think, 'What a cute couple those young ones are,' or something like that,"
"How do you know that? Have you taken another girl here before?"
"I can assure you, Akemi, the only girl I've ever wanted to go out with is… well, you."
I smirked. "How do I know you're not lying?"
He smirked in reply. He gently took hold of my right hand and brought it to his lips, to peck it softly. My eyes widened and of course, heat rose to my cheeks. I quickly snatched my hands back and looked down at my lap.
"You're such a flirt. How come you always make me blush like that?" I mumbled stubbornly.
He chuckled, and I'll admit, the smile on his face was really nice to look at.
"Gee, I don't know. I don't control your blushing reflexes," He answered my question.
I nodded. "I suppose you're right,"
At that point, the waitress walked over to our table and took our orders. What surprised me was the fact that the waitress winked at Light. Irritated, I sighed loudly, trying to get that woman away. Thank God Light didn't pay any attention to her. I glared at her back as she left.
I guessed Light noticed my expression because he asked, "Akemi? What's wrong?"
"You didn't take notice of that waitress?" I asked back.
"No… Why should I?"
"Well… she was taking our orders, and plus, she seemed to take a liking to you,"
"What? How do you know?"
"She winked at you," I replied bluntly.
"Well, I still don't like her. I don't see any reason why I should even look at her. Tonight is going to be about you and me only,"
"If you say so…"
-x-x-x-x-
After dinner, we went to the Karaoke place.
To tell you the truth, I had never been to karaoke before. I suppose I had never thought about going there, but Light and I passed it and we decided, 'Why not?'
After getting the karaoke books, we entered a dark room with a disco ball and a blue light inside. It was odd, but fun. There was food laid out on the table already, and the microphones were ready to use. What was really cool was that when I looked down at my white dress, it glowed.
"Wow," I smiled. "This is the first time I've been to Karaoke,"
"Really? I've been here a couple of times,"
"You have? You don't seem like the type who would sing,"
"I don't. My friends drag me here,"
"I see," I said as I took a seat. Light sat down next to me.
"Uhh, do you want to go first?" He asked.
"Only if you sing after my song," I replied, smiling.
He sighed, leaning back on the chair and running a hand through his hair. "Fine,"
I found a good enough song and began singing.
Negai / Wish by Perfume (Translated from Japanese to English)
As I got up early and today's wind was smoothing my hair
Things about you vaguely come up to my mind. It's like a softly floating cloud, isn't it?
The sky gets higher and higher, and the air gets more chilly.
What are you feeling? I was wondering alone.
If we had a little more courage
It might seem to come true
But we think "it will come true, whether we try or not"
Like parallel lines, our distance never changing.
We have hesitated to think of our most precious feelings, haven't we?
Wishing to fix myself that divided in two.
Along with a comfortable breeze, when I was able to sleep so long today
I'm humming lalala lalala lalala...
On a chilly night the sky gets higher and higher
What are you feeling? I was wondering alone.
Even thought we took the long way
This our true wish.
The song finished and I turned to Light, handing him the microphone.
He looked a bit... stoned.
"I know I'm not a good singer, but you don't have to make that ridiculous face at me," I almost snapped.
"No, it's not that, your voice is actually quite nice," He said.
"You're only saying that to make me feel better," I mumbled.
"No really --,"
"Just hurry up and sing," I sighed, giving him the mike.
-x-x-x-x-
"Thanks for inviting me out today," I said to Light.
Yes, the date was over and I was at my doorstep.
"It's okay," He replied, smiling. "I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow,"
I nodded. "Yep. I'll uh… See you tomorrow then,"
He hesitated a bit before leaving. He'd just unlocked my gate when I yelled, "Light!"
Now's your chance.
He'd turned around, saying, "Ye—"
It was all in slow motion to me. I didn't know what I was thinking.
But I had kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck.
I'd realized that he was taller than I thought. It was a struggle to keep both my arms up there. I assumed that Light noticed this, so he snaked his hands around my waist.
I let go of the kiss and quickly looked down. Light laughed as he stroked my cheeks gently. "You're cute when you blush like that,"
"I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to say uh, good… goodnight," I mumbled in my snow white scarf.
Light placed his hand on the back of my head and slowly brought it closer to his chest. I felt his chin on the top of my head. He sighed in contentment and let go of me after three seconds. He leaned in and pecked me on the forehead and smiled.
"Goodnight, my Akemi," He whispered in my ear.
He then left my house.
I quickly ran to my front door, hands shaking and fiddling with my keys. The door opened before I could do it myself. I looked up to see my brother with a straight line as his mouth, as if he were trying to hold his smile.
"I saw what you did to Light-kun," He said.
My mouth dropped open and an immense blush came over my cheeks. "Y-You watched us kiss?!"
"Just a little," He chuckled.
I pouted. "You're so… ugh!"
Touta continued to laugh as I walked upstairs to my room.
I did my nightly routine and dropped onto the bed, exhausted.
Whilst making an effort to sleep, three words echoed in my mind.
"Goodnight, my Akemi,"
-x-x-x-x-
Of course, I woke up the next morning getting ready for school. As I put on my school shoes, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around.
"Oh, good morning, onii-chan," I smiled.
"Good morning, Akemi. Listen, about last night…" Matsuda said.
"W-What about it?" I began to get nervous. He wasn't having second thoughts about this relationship, was he?
"Sorry that I laughed at you last night… I didn't mean to annoy you like that," He apologized.
"Oh, that's okay. I'm guessing that's normal in a brother / sister relationship, right? At least, from what I've seen in the movies… wondered.
He chuckled and handed me my lunch I'd made earlier.
"Thank you! I'm off now!" I beamed at him.
"Have a nice day," He replied.
I walked out the door and said back, "You too!"
-x-x-x-x-
I walked past the school gates and was immediately swarmed with girls from my class.
"How was that date with Light?!" Maki asked.
"Eh? Ah, it was good…" I replied, getting nervous with all the ears listening.
"And? AND?!" Maki squealed.
"And what?!" I fake squealed back.
"Did you guys… kiss?" Maki smiled slyly.
My eyes widened and my looked down at the cement ground, trying to hide my blush.
"You DID?! AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Maki screamed.
The other girls screamed as well.
Oh God.
I managed to squeeze myself out of that crowd and I walked to my homeroom.
As I slid the door open, I was welcomed with a giant hug from Ami.
"Ami?!" I yelled.
"I heard about the date between you and Light-san! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO KISSED!" She squealed.
"SHOOSH! Not so loud!" I cried.
Oh, but it was too late.
"Eh?! Seriously? You and Light kissed?" Akira asked.
"Ah…" I began.
"We did," I heard a voice from behind me.
I jumped and turned around quickly. "Light! Ah, good morning!"
"Good morning," He smiled.
The girls squealed and the boys went 'ooh'.
"What're you people doing out here? Class is starting, so get to your seats!" The teacher approached.
"Oh crap!" Akira muttered, and quickly ran to his desk.
I walked inside calmly with Light to our desks.
-x-x-x-x-
"Okay, class is dismissed," The teacher announced.
"Hey, Akemi?" I heard Light's voice at my desk.
"Yes?" I replied.
I could've sworn I heard Ami giggle in the background.
"Could I uh… talk to you alone for this break?" He asked.
"Sure," I answered, getting up and packing my things.
I left the classroom with Light and I looked back to see Ami about to burst laughing.
I felt Light's hand hold mine and he took me behind the school.
He had stopped, saying, "Akemi,"
"Yes?" I said, observing the area around me.
He bowed down slightly. "Will you… be my girlfriend?"
"Eh?"
"Ah, it's just, I mean, last night we went out on a date and all then I was thinking—"
"We kissed last night, Light. I'd be happy to be your girlfriend,"
Light smiled, hugging me very closely.
Light placed his thumb on my chin, and then brought my lips to his.
He then introduced me to a whole new level of kissing.
He placed my hands on the back of his neck and he used his own arms to bring me closer. Light licked my bottom lip, making me gasp. He took that as an opportunity to slip his tongue in my mouth, and God, it felt really good. Fighting over dominance with our tongues, he won in the end. He moved away from my lips and kissed downwards from my lips, to my jaw, to my throat and neck. Light began nipping and sucking, hearing me moan his name quietly. "Light," I felt his mouth turn into a smirk as he continued to kiss my lips. I ran my fingers though his soft hair…
"You two snuck out to the back to make-out?! Oh, you're naughty!" I heard a voice giggle.
I turned around and my eyes widened. "M-MAKI-SAN?!"
"Maki… what are you doing here?" Light asked, holding back his anger.
"C'mon Light! Give the girl a break! You two are the hottest couple on campus; we always want to know what you two are up to!" Akira said from behind Maki.
"Akira-kun?! You were watching too?!" I cried. "This is so embarrassing…" I covered my face with my hands.
I felt Light's arm around my shoulder. "Maki, Akira, leave now,"
"But Light—"
"I said leave. Just try to respect our privacy sometimes,"
"I'm sorry, Light, Akemi-chan," Maki mumbled.
I shook my head. "I-It's okay,"
They both left and Light faced me.
"You okay?" He asked.
Still blushing, I replied, "I'm fine… Just the way you kissed me—"
"Yeah, Sorry."
"What?"
"I shouldn't have been so forceful on you. I'm sorry,"
"No! Don't be! I… actually enjoyed it very much,"
Light smiled. "I'm glad to hear that,"
He pecked me on my lips again and said, "We'll be late for class. Let's go,"
-x-x-x-x-
"I'm home!" I said as I opened my front door.
No answer.
The sun was already setting, so I was assuming my brother would be home by now.
"Onii-chan?" I yelled.
Still no answer.
"Look's like he'll be staying at work late today," I mumbled to myself.
I took off my shoes and put on slippers. I went up to my room and threw my bag on the bed, then began running down the stairs to the kitchen.
Then I heard a weird buzzing noise.
Buzz… Buzzzzzzz
I looked around. There was nothing.
But it sounded a hell of a lot like a camera zooming in...
"I must be imagining things,"
I tied my hair up in a bun ad began cooking dinner. When I finished my share of it, I left some on the plate for my brother, leaving a note in case I fell asleep by the time he came home.
I went upstairs to the bathroom to take a warm shower. Ten minutes later, I wrapped a towel around my body and walked to my room to change. I guess I opened the door a little too hard, because I hit the nearby lamp, and it smashed into pieces.
"Ah! Oh no… Matsuda's gonna kill me!" I panicked.
I fell to the ground and began picking up the pieces carefully. I then saw something rally peculiar.
"A… black wire? What's the thing attached to it…? A camera?!" I whispered to myself.
It was small, but obvious that it was a camera. I could see the small lens.
"No way! W-Who's been putting cameras in my room?!"
Matsuda's Point of View
I was at the headquarters with the team and L… I mean, Ryuuzaki said that today was the day we would observe my little sister.
I personally hated the fact that my sister was being watched. Even if it was from a smart guy like Ryuuzaki.
"I really don't think that this is a good idea…" I mumbled.
"Matsuda. Just endure it. It's for the Kira case, after all," Chief Yagami said.
I sighed and nodded hopelessly as I watched the televisions screen(s) with Akemi on it.
"I'm home!" I heard my little sister's voice say.
She entered the house and looked around. "Look's like he'll be staying at work late today,"
I instantly felt guilty for leaving her at home like this without telling her.
Akemi stopped walked and looked around. "I must be imagining things,"
She began cooking dinner, and when she finished, she prepared an extra plate. Akemi then wrote a small note and placed it next to the food. Ryuuzaki zoomed in to read the note.
"Onii-chan, Sorry you had to stay at work late today. Please just reheat this food if it gets cold. It's your dinner, and try not to push yourself too hard at work. Please do your best. – Akemi," Ryuuzaki read out loud.
I tried to hide my smile.
"It seems that your little sister cares about you a lot, Matsuda," Ryuuzaki commented.
"Well, I am practically her only family left," I nodded.
Akemi then went into the bathroom. My eyes widened.
"You put cameras in the bathroom?! Ryuuzaki, she's a girl! We can't watch her shower! This is all against the law anyway!" I immediately protested.
"We should keep an eye on her wherever she goes, anyway," Ryuuzaki said, not taking his eyes off the television.
I ran up to the screen and spread my arms out, making an effort to cover it. "What are you?! She's only 17! You can't watch her when she does… These things!"
"If you feel so uncomfortable about watching her shower, then you may close your eyes," Ryuuzaki suggested.
I looked at the others in the force. They were already covering their eyes, even Chief Yagami.
At least they know when not to watch Akemi.
"F-Fine," I muttered, covering my eyes and going back to my seat.
She finished the shower about ten minutes later and it was then safe to look when she had a towel around her body. She walked to her room and the door then smashed a nearby lamp.
"Ah! Oh no… Matsuda's gonna kill me!" She cried.
Akemi fell to the floor and began picking up the pieces. I looked at the smallest screen in the corner, seeing that one of the camera's had fallen. I looked back to the biggest one, where Akemi was.
"Oh no… She's going to find the camera, Ryuuzaki!" I realized.
He said nothing in reply.
"A… black wire? What's the thing attached to it…? A camera?!"
"Ack! She found the camera!" I slapped my forehead.
"No way! W-Who's been putting cameras in my room?!" She panicked.
"This is bad. This is so bad. Oh so VERY bad..." I said in dismay. "What am I supposed to say to her when I get home? Ahh…"
"Say you don't know what it was doing there," Ryuuzaki said.
"I can't lie to my little sister!" I answered back. "That's it. I'm going home to tell her the truth when I get home,"
Everyone looked at Ryuuzaki.
"Go ahead. Also, please tell her that I'd like to meet her in this room tomorrow afternoon," He said.
"Eh? In person…?" I mumbled.
"Of course not. I'm going to be using my computer identity. If she's willing to join the case, I'll show her the real me," He replied.
"…But for now, let's observe her more,"
