Voyeurism
Bad Chapter.
Happy holidays to all of you! Praying for a 2018 full of health, love and life.
Two weeks after the surveillance cameras are installed, a month after the FBI retires from Japan
" Happy Birthday to you! "
" Happy Birthday to you! "
" Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you! "
Light's eyes opened to see the smiling faces of both her mother and Sayu's, the former holding a tray with a breakfast for her.
"Good morning Light! Eat you food before it gets cold"
Light took the tray carefully, making sure to plaster a smile on her face. To her, birthdays never were much of a big deal, although today she was kind of excited, because she was 17 now, just a year shy of being able to legally move on from home. Her Kira duties made her want to have her own space.
"So, I already have an itinerary for your birthday party" Sayu said while sitting on Light's bed, her mother already gone for the preparations for the party.
"I don't see the need of preparations. It's just going to be a small gathering Sayu"
"Still, I already have the list. First, we're going to wait for your friends here. After that, we're going to the mall to shop, the movies, to the ice rink..."
Light looked her room, still infected with cameras and wire tapes. It was amazing that she had resisted two weeks of constant spying. Showering and getting naked in front of cameras was terrifing at first, but Light wasn't nothing but adaptable. She tended to shower and change clothes rapidly, in the most straightforward way possible. She had also been extremely careful, programming the deaths of criminals and inmates with weeks of anticipation, so they had nothing on her. And in case she either fell sick or another setback, no one could trace the lack of criminals dying back to her.
Light returned her look to her parloting sister. What a long day.
Eichii was the first one to come. Yuri, Shiori and Maki came not too long after. Despite being popular in highschool, Light didn't have many friends, and calling the ones she had "friends" was a bit of a strech. Most of her class didn't know her cellphone or where she lived.
Light came out her room with a red, half sleeved lace dress that her mother bought her, because she always said that red was "her " color.
"Looking hot Light!" Yuri said with a bit of envy in her voice.
Light smiled politely, sitting in the couch, at the same time that the doorbell ringed. It was Yamamoto, sweating like he had run a marathon, and Light couldn't help but snort upon seeing how the clothes he was wearing were brand new, as if he was the birthday boy and not her. In his left hand was a bouquet of a dozen of red roses, a bottle of wine in the other.
Light raised one elegant eyebrow "Wine Yamamoto? We're still underage"
"Shh! Your mother can hear us. Here for you" he said extending the bouquet to her.
Sachiko came out the kitchen, just in time for Yamamoto to hid the bottle of wine in his backpack "There you are. Hungry kids?" and without waiting for an answer, she left them a tray with sandwiches. None of them rejected it of course. Sachiko Yagami was a great cook.
"Dad is coming Mom?" Light asked. Her mother looked at her with a resigned expression and shook her head.
Light made a face. Her father was still watching the surveillance cameras. Sachiko, misinterpreting her face for sadness, quickly changed the subject "Oh, and those flowers?"
"Yamamoto bring them to me"
"Oooh" Sachiko smiled, picking the bouquet to put the roses in a vase with fresh water, winking at Light while doing so. Light sighed at her mother' cheesy attempts to play matchmaker.
It wasn't uncommon for Soichiro to not be present for a family occasion, but never before he had been able to watch his family even he was still at work. It made him feel like he was there with them, at least in spirit. Those thoughts kept him a bit detached from the conversation that Aizawa was holding with L.
"Ryuzaki, we have been watching both the the Chief's and the Kitamura's family. There's nothing suspicious about them! We should stop this show and start catching the real Kira" Aizawa cried while L, Soichiro and Naomi were sitting in front of the screens watching said families.
Naomi usually was in L's side, but Aizawa had a point. Nothing productive had came out of two weeks of constant surveillance in the Yagami and Kitamura's households.
L was nibbling a chocolate-covered doughnut, and after swallowing it all, he said in a quiet voice "All right. According to what we are seeing, Light and her friends are going to be out the house in a couple of minutes, with Sachiko and her sister accompaining them. Watari is going to take off the cameras in that moment."
The Task Force smiled a bit with relief.
"So that's means Light and Sayu are finally clear of suspicions" Matsuda laughed.
"I didn't say that. We are only going to take off the cmaeras because I agree that nothing of any value has came out of these weeks of surveillance. They're still under suspicions." L said with finality.
Soichiro shock his head at his boss' stubbornness and turned to watch his wife and Light, currently discussing in the kitchen.
"Hatori* is such a gentleman, Nice detail with the flowers" Sachiko commented with subtlety while she was washing the dishes.
"Mom, don't start please" Since when Sachiko got the impression that Light wanted to talk about her love life, or lack thereof, with her?
"I just don't get why you broke up with him. He adores you Light"
Light already knew that. Yamamoto and her had been friends since him and his mother moved to their neighboorhood near a decade ago. And when they started middle school, she started to notice an interest on her beyond mere friendship.
She dated him not because she loved him, or because she liked him in a romantic or sexual way. She dated him because he was the first one to ask her (maybe not the very first one, but the first that counted) and she saw no reason not to. The kissing was fine, the hand holding was nice too, but it was meh. Nothing about those kisses after study evenings or those longing looks made her feel a single thing. It was just...boring.
"What are you doing here? Light asked when she was looking for a sweater and Yamamoto followed her. At the moment they were alone in her bedroom.
"Ah, well you know, I wanted to talk about, you know, you and I..."
Light faced him "Don't you think is a bad time for it?"
"Yes, ehh..." Yamamoto's face held an espression of indecision, before getting a more serious face, and without warning, he kissed her.
Surprised at it, Light's eyes automatically posed over the ceiling, where she knew a surveillance camera was hidden. And instead of following her first instint; that was pushing Yamamoto off and slapping him, she placed her arms in her neck, because a "better" idea was forming in her mind, while her lips were curved in a smile "This is going to be fun"
Naomi politely adverted her eyes off the screen presenting two teenagers in a heaty kiss, with Soichiro to her left, who seemed undecided between placing his fist on the screen, or getting outisde the room in a hurry. In a tacit agreement, both agents got out the room at the same time, a bit embarrased at the affectionate display.
That wasn't the case of an imsomatic detective in a room a few meters afar from them. L had an army of peepers at his disposal, this was far from the first time of him watching people in quite intimate settings. This was the first time, however, that he felt actual interest in what was happening. He saw Light Yagami being surprised at her friend's boldness, opening the eyes and looking towards the ceiling. For a moment, L felt like she knew about the cameras, and like she was looking directly at him. The blood in his veins started to run faster at such thought.
Yamamoto was excited. Too much excited. He never thought that Eichii's advice about stealing a kiss could ever work. Their chaste kiss quickly turned into a heated kiss, and they fell in the bed. Light was gently caressing his back. Bravely he let his hand roam over Light's breast, and she actually encouraged him, pressing his hands over her bosom while he manhandled them in a manner that alternated between soft and rough. Light never allowed him to venture to second base before!
This was awkward.
The idea of set a show for L and to freak out her father seemed great before. But now, she was regreting her blatant show. To make matters worse, Yamamoto started dry humping her and now she was feeling something hard poking her leg. She experimentally moved her leg and Yamamoto moaned at that. He started to rub his hardness against her and muttering something about "close"
After a second too long for someone so bright, Light finally understood what he was meaning for that, so she pushed him abruptly off her, and ordered him to go to the bathroom and take care of his business quickly, that people was down waiting for them. Yamamoto whimpered, and adjusting his glasses, he inmediately scurried off to the bathroom, closing the room with a resounding tud.
Light placed back her head against her pillow. "Never gonna happen again."
That was HOOOOOTTTTT! Light-oh"! I never knew you had IT in you!"
"Shut up Ryuk"
L was disappo...no he wasn't disappointed. More like waiting for more. After all, sexual situations were a great way to find out the personality of a person, since in the intercourse, people were at their most vulnerable and open. Since he started spying in the Yagami family, Light always stood out in comparison to her mother and sister. She seemed insincere and he wanted to find out about her.
However, that had to wait. Kira was still at loose, and while L hadn't totally let Light out of suspicions, the probabilites of her being Kira were less that 2% based in his continued watching of her in the past two weeks. Besides he had already promised to the Task Force to take off the cameras out the Yagami household. Looking what made Light Yagami tick, unfortunately, had to wait.
Thankfully no one noticed that her and Yamamoto were alone in her bedroom a bit too long. The trip to the mall, shoping, ice rink, and watching movie (a Hideki Ryuga's one, Sayu's idea, no doubt) was nice though. Yamamoto was all over her during the whole evening, too close for her liking; he seemed to believe that their makeout session meant that they were a couple again.
Sachiko picked them up at 7:00 PM, to go home and partake in a lavish dinner. Sachiko sure knew how to be a great host. After that, the gifts. Eichii gave her painting made by himself (not a very good one), Sayu a perfume, Yuri and Maki both gave her pair of jeans, and Yamamoto's present was a copy of "Gravity's Rainbow"*. In behalf on both her parents (because her father wasn't present) Sachiko gave her a gold chain.
Around a half hour later, a knock to the door was heard and Sayu opened it, thinking it was their father finally coming home. The last person she expected was a blonde dressed in a revealing, Lolita-gothic fashion
"Misa?" Light asked in disbelief. How the hell did she found out where she lived?
"Hey Light! Happy birthday I'm sorry that I couldn't come sooner but Misa-Misa was busy in a photo shoot"
"Could she stop referring to herself in third person?"
"Wait a sec! You are Misa-Misa? The model?" Sayu asked in awe.
"Yes I am" Msa cheerfully said, always eager to meet more fans.
"Oh god, I have been a fan of yours since you appeared in Misa-Misa Sweets* Light how come did you never told me that you knew Misa Misa?"
"I forgot" Light deadpanned.
"Speaking about forgetting, here is your gift" Misa cried pushing a tiny box to her.
Light opened it and her eyes widened. Inside the box was a platinum and emerald pin
"It's Tiffany" Misa said gleefully, but her smile fell a little at Light's expression "Did she not like Misa-Misa's gift?"
Light liked the gift, but it was too much. Light calculated the price of that pin around $6000, at least. Way too much money to spend in someone that Misa barely knew. What if that woman was more than she looked? Did she suspected that Light was hiding something, and wanted to be in her good graces?
"How did you find out my direction?" Light said in a blunt manner without even thanking Misa for the gift. Sachiko, who was watching the scene since the kitchen, gasped at her daughter's inusual rudeness.
" In the Internet" Misa said in a very vague way, and before Light could ask her to elaborate more, she continued "I wanted to call you, instead of coming here without warning, but you never answered your phone. I left you three messages"
"She left me messages? But I left her a fake number! So she managed to find out my direction and my real number? Stalker"
Light definitely needed to keep a eye on that woman.
"Tomorrow I want to take you to the mall. You know, a day of girl-shopping"
"Sorry Misa-Misa, But Light already did that today with her friends" Sayu interrupted while gesturing to the shopping bags in the couch.
Something dark and ugly passed through Misa's eyes at that, but it got erased before either Light or Sayu could notice it "Oh, doesn't matter. Tomorrow I have another photo shoot, If you want I can take you with me. You sister can come with us too"
Light was about to say no to that stalker, but Sayu' puppy eyes basically threatened to cry and throw a temper tantrum if she denied.
"Fiiiiine"
"Yay!" both girls said in unison.
Tomorrow was the day.
He was a lonely man, he had been since he lost his beloved wife in a traffic accident a few years ago.
But love finally was on his way. He knew that since the moment he saw the pretty blonde in the pages of his daughter's magazine.
Misa-Misa.
He and she were made for each other.
So what if she was young enough to be his daughter? He started to keep track on her, pleased at the fact she hadn't any boyfriends, despite the Press' claims. Obviously she knew she was his, just as he was hers.
Tomorrow was going to be the day they finally were going to be together. She was going to accept his love. He was sure of that.
The knife in his clothes was just reassurance.
*I have no idea which is Yamamoto's first name. I remembered a fic in where his first name was Hatori. I don't know if that is canon or not, but I will use it anyways.
*"Gravity Rainbow" is a novel from 1973 by Thomas Pynchon
*"Misa-Misa Sweets" is a show that only exist in DN live-action movies, in which Misa prepares and bakes treats.
