A/N: Thank you for all the reviews!!! Here is the next chapter!! Enjoy! This one is pretty long so hope you like it!! It took me forever. lol.

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.

I knocked on Light's front door, staring down at my feet. I couldn't stop thinking about what my brother asked me.

"Akina!" I looked up at Sayu's voice. "Come on in!"

"Hey Sayu!" I smiled walking in and taking off my shoes.

"Light's in his room." She said. I nodded and walked upstairs.

I knocked on Light's door and opened it. "Hey Light! You ready to go?"

Light and Ryuk looked over at me. "Oh right." Light said standing up. "Lets go." I watched him as he walked over to me and passed me out his door. He looked a little preoccupied.

"Light, what were you doing before I came up here?" I asked glancing at Ryuk who was smirking like usual.

"Nothing important. Lets go." He pulled me downstairs, while I continued to watch him suspiciously. I didn't believe him for a second.

I sighed doodling on my paper. I was sitting in cram school, listening to the teacher drone on and on about stuff that I didn't care about. Honestly, why did I even come to this place? Seriously! Extra school? Who wants that?! I glanced up as I noticed Ryuk walk past me to windows. I watched him out the corner of my eye. He was staring at something. What? I didn't know. I looked over at Light and saw him taking notes. He looked oblivious to Ryuk and everything else.

I hadn't really thought about the way I had been feeling around Light in the past couple days. With everything that happened it just seemed irrelevant. But now, as I watched him, the feelings started coming back. I understood why all the girls fancied him. Light was very good-looking. Plus with how smart he was, he was almost perfect. Except for the fact he's a homicidal psychopath….

I sighed. I could overlook that one flaw right?

As Light and I were walking back to his house, I couldn't help but feel as if I was being watched. It was kind of annoying…..and creepy. I was glad I wasn't going home tonight. I had called my mom and told her I was staying at Light's for the night. It wasn't the first time I stayed the night at Light's house. We've been having sleepover's ever since we were kids. And yes, we still had them. Neither of us ever thought anything of it, since we were just friends. But now with the new feelings I had, I didn't know if it would be weird or not.

"Light, you got a second?" Ryuk's voice broke through my thoughts. I shook my head and tuned in to the other two.

"I already told you Ryuk. You can't talk to me in public. How many times do I have to tell you?" Light said annoyed. I was confused as to why he would say that now. People would just assume he was talking to me so why could Ryuk talk to him? Unless he just didn't want to talk to Ryuk right now.

"In that case I'll talk, you just listen. If you don't wanna hear me you can plug your ears or something. " I glanced back at the shinigami interested. He seemed intent to talk to Light, which wasn't like him at all. "First of all I don't have anything against you. I actually think the notebook couldn't have been picked up by a better person. I'm here cause I have to stick around 'til the Death Note is finished, or I see you die, whichever comes first. But make no mistake Light. I'm not on your side or L's side."

Light looked back at Ryuk with an annoyed expression. Hearing my brother's name made me remember what he asked of me. I nervously looked ahead again, avoiding both the guys' gazes.

"Yeah well I knew that much already." Light said turning back around.

"You'll never hear me say anything about whether what you're doing is either right or wrong." Ryuk continued. "I'm not here to support you or give you my opinion, I'm just a spectator. But as your roommate I might have a few things to say now and then."

"What's this about Ryuk? Why are you telling me all this stuff now anyway?" Light asked. "Its really not like you."

"Its just that I'm no ally of yours, or Kira's if you prefer."

I flinched at Light being referred to as Kira. I looked over at Light as he took my hand in his. He smiled a small smile-though still gorgeous-causing me to smile and turn away. I was thankful it was dark-he couldn't see the color change of my cheeks.

Ryuk continued as if nothing had happened. "The only reason I'm gonna tell you this is because personally its starting to creep me out."

"Get to the point already." Light said.

Ryuk chuckled evilly. "You're being followed by another human. He's watching you right now."

Light stopped walking, which caused me to stop too since he was holding my hand. I couldn't believe what Ryuk said! Now I knew why I felt like I was being watched. Had my brother sent someone to follow me? Or….was he following Light? But how could they even think about Light as a suspect? I never said anything…….

After a few seconds of just standing there, Light starting walking again, pulling me with him.

"Its really starting to get on my nerves." Ryuk complained. "I realize there's no way he can see me, but because I'm always following behind you where ever you go, I feel like I'm constantly being watched."

"That's a problem." Light said quietly. I looked up at him. "I'll have to get rid of him as soon as possible."

My eyes widened. Was he saying what I thought he was saying?! I thought he was only killing criminals!

I followed Light into his room, shutting the door behind me as he walked over to the window. He looked deep in thought. I watched as he pulled back the curtain a little to look outside.

I sat down on Light's bed as Light and Ryuk started talking. I didn't listen though. I tuned them out as I began thinking about what was going on. My brother said he would call me when he found out new information. But he hadn't called. And if he had someone following Light, obviously he found out something new. So what was going on? Was he lying about me helping him?

"….he can grant that human the eyes of a shinigami."

I came out of my thoughts. I only caught part of what Ryuk was saying, but I didn't really like what I heard. 'The eyes of a shinigami?' What did that mean?

"But only if a deal is made. One that's been with us since ancient times." Ryuk said.

"What's the deal?" Light asked. I could tell he was interested. Why? I didn't know, since I missed half of the conversation.

"The price for having a shinigami's eyes…….is half of that persons remaining life span." Ryuk said smirking. "That's all it is."

I gasped. I had no idea what was going on, but this 'deal' did not sound good to me.

"Half of my remaining life span…." Light said wide eyed.

"Yeah. In other words, if you were supposed to live another 50 years it'll be 25. If it was one more year, then it'd be 6 months." Ryuk said.

"I see." Light said. "And since you made it clear you're not on anyone's side, and won't help me out, you wouldn't just give me the names of people I want to kill. Basically, you're saying that I can't just borrow your powers, I have to pay for them."

"That's right. It's a key part of the code that all Shinigami are bound by." Ryuk said smirking still. "I'll say this once more. Give me half your remaining life span, and I'll give you the shinigami eyes."

Light smirked. "If I agree, I'll be able to know everyone's name just by looking at them. If I had that power the death note would only be easier to use." I really did not like where this was going.

"So, what'll it be Light?" Ryuk asked. "Is it a deal?"

I looked between the two guys nervously. This deal was crazy! Who would actually accept something like this?! I looked over at Light as I thought that. And I thought I had the answer to that question.

A/N: Alrighty well review please!! Not really much of an authors note today because I'm really tired. I had a long day. =/
