Chapter 6

3rd POV

The blonde sat out on a bench at the park. Around her, people of all ages seemed to be having a good time, some looked as if they were on dates, some looked like just a group of friends hanging out, and then there were the children who played at the playground, laughing and screaming with joy. However, Evelyn seemed far away, typing like a mad person on her laptop. She needed a change of scenery, and honestly, the hotel room was getting too boring for her likes. So instead, she was out here, hacking into files to find more information about her three suspects in her latest job. Lately, unfortunately, her luck had decreased and she hadn't been able to get much farther in her case.

"Fancy seeing you here stranger," a familiar voice spoke, bringing the blonde out of her thoughts to look up at the same boy who caused a stir in her stomach, and not in the school-girl, or love-at-first-sight way, more like the murder-way.

"Light, I didn't expect to see you here, or again that is," Evelyn deadpanned. Her expression looked bored, unimpressed, and indifferent which confused Light. Sure he could obviously see her looks were different and she was a strange girl, however, girls of all types always seem to swoon at the mere sight of him. It was almost like she could see past his front and into his soul, like she somehow knew or guessed he was Kira, which caused his heart to quicken.

"Me neither to tell you the truth, may I sit with you by the way," he asked, nudging his head towards the empty spot next to Evelyn who sat in the cool shade. Sighing and groaning inwardly, the blonde woman shut her laptop closed, not wanting him to see what she had been doing and nodded at him. She supposed she needed to play nice, or at least, nice enough so she didn't arouse suspicion from this man who gave her bad vibes.

"Why do keep trying to hang out with me," she asked bluntly, getting straight to the point. Nobody seemed to want to approach her. Evelyn's voice always stayed stoic as well as her features, she had distinctive scar over her eye which suggested that something bad has happened in some shape or form, and if they would get that extremely rare moment where they saw her entire body; back, arms, legs, and front, they would see her body was screwed up, and had too many scars on it to count.

"Truthfully, I like you Ramika, besides, don't you think it would be nice to have a friend?" he asked. Though, those weren't his true intentions; he remembered seeing her with the motorcycle guys, trying to stand up for the poor girl. He then decided if he was to ever see her again, he would try to be her friend since from what he could already read from her, she was someone who was filled with loneliness. And what would be even more splendid if he found out she was a Kira supporter. He could then use her as a pawn in his game against the notorious L.

"What if I don't want to have a friend? Ever thought of that," she asked, her voice so cold, that the brunette boys had to force himself not to shiver. He never felt like this with anyone else, yet, here this girl was, probably the scariest person he had ever met which is saying a lot.

"Everybody wants friends," Light answered in his cheery voice that made him want to throw up.

"Do you really believe I'm that stupid," Evelyn asked suddenly, her glare in full force which caused the boy to widen his eyes in surprise. The look on the girls face could kill millions more than Kira. Light opened his mouth to object, only to shut up when Evelyn spoke again. "I'm not that stupid; I know you are trying to use me for something incredibly ludicrous. Making friends with someone who might look weak and can easily be undermined, makes me sick," she snapped, a sneer curling at her lips. The blonde woman rose up from the bench, holding her laptop close to her chest while she looked down upon the shocked brunette boy. "You can stop now, and leave me alone; that would be doing me a "favor.""

She then briskly walked away leaving Light, who was once shocked, now grinning mischievously. Light liked Ramika; she was feisty, she saw through his mask, which both scared him and made him like her even more, she was strong willed, and she wasn't easy to fall to traps like so easy, pathetic prey. In the human world, there was the predators and the prey. The human predators took the world into their hands, and held it, dominated it, but human prey were more of the common people, just living their life without really living and taking the world by their hands. They fell easy into traps by reality and society. Ramika was like Light, a human predator in the world. Which Light liked, she was different from the girls he went to school with, who fan-girled over him like dogs in heat.

Light hoped he would see her again; wondering if maybe she was a Kira supporter, that would be an interesting aspect. The brunette continued to watch as the blonde walked away, her hips swaying unintentionally, but made the brunette gulp with a bit of lust.

Oh yes, he hoped he would meet Ramika again.

Evelyn POV

I hadn't expected to run into Light, but of course, his appearance was a terrible surprise. I wasn't sure if I liked him or not, but I have to give him credit; his acting was top notch and could fool almost anyone, except for someone like me who can see past the acting and see the true meaning deep inside. And from what I've gathered from him, he flaunts around like some amazing guy and is defiantly a panty-dropper for most women.

Sighing to myself, I headed towards the new hotel I was currently staying at. Once again, I decided to change my pace, and in doing that, I stopped staying in unfinished motel rooms, or under reconstruction rooms. This, to me, was both a luxury and a disadvantage. This way, I don't have to be wary and cautious, but, I do have to make sure I seem totally normal and I am put at a disadvantage.

I stopped suddenly in my tracks, glancing around at the surroundings, and I found myself not wanting to go back yet, so instead, I find a nice tree and head over to it. I took off my leather jacket, for once not caring whether people saw my scared arms, and placed it on the ground. I sat on my jacket and reopened my laptop, now searching about recent news. I never found myself liking politics, I found it corrupted and unstable, however, to keep up with the latest news was an important factor. I found myself soon coming upon an article about the "god" who has ruled the channels of t.v.'s everywhere, and that, was Kira. Why were people so hooked onto him; I knew most in society would state things like he was a murdered and a fraud, but I bet they go online and "fangirl" all over him/her. It almost made me sick.

"It appears you keep up with the latest news," a voice said, causing me to jump and shut close my laptop. I looked up to find a familiar face that consisted of pale skin, dark circles under his eyes, gray eyes in general, and a patch of spiky black hair.

"Ryuzaki, surprise, surprise," I said sarcastically, finding myself inwardly growling. Why do people keep bugging me?

"I never expected to run into you again Miss Ramika…" he trailed off, and of course I knew what he was doing. I suspected him since the night I noticed someone following and knew he had looked up information about me, probably find none. I hadn't had time to put up fake files behind the Ramika Iori, but, it wasn't like I would be here any longer. Once I finished up my recent case, I was planning on flying out to maybe Sydney, Australia and doing a couple jobs there, or maybe somewhere in Russia, however, I have yet to learn Russian and would have to speak English.

"Just Ramika," I said in light voice, trying to appear as if I'm trying to be friendly or polite.

"Ah, may I sit next to you," he asked.

"I'm sorry to say this, but no, I am busy quite frankly, and came here to get some peace and quiet," I answered, trying to seem as respectful as possible.

"What, problems at home? Younger siblings too loud," he asked in return. And of course, once more, I knew what he was doing. He was trying to get more information out about me, find out whether I had siblings, where my parents are/what they are like, things like that, too bad for him that I knew exactly what was going on.

"No actually, just need a change in scenery," was all I said, and could see the fight of composure behind the wall in Ryuzaki's eyes. Poor man, he was just like Light; he couldn't see that I knew his tricks. I was a fox, just like him, I am a trickster.

To be continued…

A/N: I don't know how long it's been since I last updated, but, here it is. I decided on putting Light in there as well as L so that L and Evelyn can build up some chemistry. Important question: should I delete all my earlier chapters so that this rewrite is easier to follow?

To Wildfire Dreams: Thanks! I hope you liked the sort of L and Evelyn fluff I put in this chapter!

To Anonguest: Thank you! I was hoping that most of you didn't find it boring but I'm glad it brought out the character!
