Chapter 6
Slightly Problematic
(day 4)
Light's perspective:
Ryuzaki doesn't know how crazy his sugar obsession is. He should know by now that I hate too sweet things.
That kiss was sweet though...
-Hey Ryuzaki?
-Mhm?
-Which is sweeter?
-I don't understand what you mean, Light.
-Come here.
He did.
-Which is sweeter, the tea or...
I kissed him again. This time more forcefully, like I was more sure of myself.
I wrapped my arms around him, and he, in turn, hooked his arms under mine and put his hands on my back, right underneath my wings.
I suddenly became nervous. Would he accidentally feel my wings?
L obviously felt my hesitation and broke the kiss.
(Fell you on these empty nights)
-Is something wrong?
-No, nothing's wrong.
I smiled
-So what's your answer?
-You, obviously. You taste like...like...
he paused for a moment to think of a sweet to compare me too.
-Whitejellybeans.
We sat back down on the couch, this time further apart because my sister Sayu was due back home any moment.
We stayed there in silence for about 3 minutes when Sayu came in the door.
-Light! I'm Home! How are you feeling?
-Better, thank you Sayu.
-So, You're Light's sister?
Sayu just walked into the living room and saw Ryuzaki.
(calm the ache, cure the shakes)
-Sayu, This is Ryuga. He's in my grade in collage.
-Oh! Pleased to meet you!
-Likewise.
Good. Ryuzaki was playing along.
Sayu started to giggle.
-Ryuga, did you make this tea for Light?
-Yes, is there a problem with that?
He looked confused.
-It's just that Light hates sweet things.
-Does he now?
Ryuzaki smiled slightly as he looked over at me.
-Hey Sayu, do you think mom would let Ryuga stay for dinner?
-Well, we're not doing anything tonight, so I think it'll be OK.
-Good. Ryuga, you're staying over.
-Thanks.
(you clear my mind)
Ryuzaki turned back to the TV., which was now playing an episode of D-Gray Man.
-Light, do you watch anime?
Sayu giggled again.
-You'd be lucky to see Light Watching anything but the News!
I rolled my eyes. Sayu can be rather anoying.
Just then mom opened the door carrying three precariously perched shopping bags.
-Light! Could you give me a hand with these?
-Sure!
Ryuzaki hopped off the couch and we each grabbed a bag.
-Thank you light, and...
she looked curiously at Ryuzaki.
-Mom, this is Ryuga. A friend from collage. He came over to see how I was feeling. May he stay over for dinner?
-Oh! No problem Ryuga, you may stay over if you wish.
-Thank you Mrs. Yagami.
Ryuzaki bowed slightly.
-So formal...
Mom smiled as we took the shopping bags into the kitchen.
-I'm surprised that you two get along. You're like exact opposites.
-You know what they say, opposites attract.
A smile was growing in Ryuzaki's face, making the corners or my mouth twitched their way into a small grin. Really Ryuzaki, you choose now to develop a sense of humour?
(you're my escape)
After we helped mom supper, dad arrived.
-Light! You up?
Uh oh. Dad would recognise Ryuzaki as L, not Ryuga. Slightly problematic. OK, think fast.
-Yeah dad! Guess what? Ryuga came to visit this afternoon!
-Ryuga?
He walked into the kitchen and saw Ryuzaki standing there. Dad looked confused for a second, then caught on.
-Pleased to finally meet you, Ryuga. Light has told me a lot about you at work. I'm glad he's found a good friend like you.
-Pleased to finally meet you Chief Yagami.
Ryuzaki bowed again.
-Ryuga's staying over for dinner.
-Good, good. How are you feeling Light?
-Better. The headache's gone, but the chills are still there.
-Ah, well. I guess this says you're recovering.
-I don't think so.
Everyone turned to Ryuzaki.
-What do you mean?
-This illness of yours, Light, seems to be one that would have a second stage. Not as severe as the fist and lasting half the time.
(from this messed up place)
Mom and Sayu where stunned. Dad started to laugh.
-Why does it look like that, Ryuga?
-Well, Light seems to have an average immune system, judging by how long he's had this illness, and judging by the severity of the first round and how long it took for him to recover, I can logically deduce that Light will be fully better in three days, and there will be a secound round lasting one day.
Sayu looked lost.
-Mom, I don't speak their language, what's he talking about?
At this, everyone laughed.
-Dinner's ready everyone.
We all sat down and had dinner. I didn't eat much, still not felling 100%.
After dinner, Sayu went uptairs to finish her homework and mom and dad started to clean the kitchen.
-Light, let's go upstairs, I need to talk to you.
-Alright.
Then my eyes started to sting. I blinked to get the pain away. I rubbed my temples to see if that would help.
-Is something wrong?
-No. No, everything's fine.
He leaned in close to me.
-Last time you said that, you got sick and threw up at work.
-My eyes hurt.
He leaned over to get a look at my face. His eyes bored into mine, making my head hurt.
-I don't see anything wrong.
-Let's just go upstairs.
-Alright.
We where in the upstairs hallway when my head exploded. Pain bolted across my eyes. I doubled over, head in hands.
-Light! What's wrong?
Ryuzaki pulled me up to his eye level.
I started to fell sick again. Knowing what would happen next, I looked up at him apologetically, then threw up on him.
He dropped my shoulders and staggered back a few steps.
My whole body started to shake and darkness ate at the corners of my vision. I looked up as L's face. There was an expression of mingled disgust and concern painted across his features. Then I noticed the haze. There was a red haze floating above his head. I tried to focus on it. Then, my eyes widened. Above L's head was his name and lifespan. L Lawliet. Time of death, 5 days from now. Then I passed out.
