A/N: Hello, I just realized I am being mean to Light by diagnosing him with sleep apnea and another thing I don't want to ruin for you.

Chapter Ten: Foreshadowing Problems

Light's POV

'Playing Tennis with L will be a lot of fun, I just hope I won't step wrong' I thought as I searched through my bag "never thought you'd ask me to play Tennis Mr. Ryuga" I said as we walked to the court. When he asked if it was a problem a shook my head as we almost reached out court, when he mentioned he was a British Junior Tennis Champion I asked if he was British since he didn't have a Japanese accent and he said yes.

"I hope I don't step wrong" I told him as we finally reached the courts "why is that?" he asked me and I smiled regretfully. "A few years ago I was told not to play Tennis by my doctor anymore, but when you asked me to play with you I called him and he said to be careful" I said and his eyes seemed to sparkle with curiosity at the information.

"Six matches is fine Mr. Ryuga" I said and he started, the ball whizzed passed me at the first strike almost hitting Ryuk which amused me. "I'm glad I don't mind losing" I muttered though I know L heard "those who strike first win" I heard L say and I may not mind losing but I don't back away from a challenge either.

'We seem to have drawn in a crowd' I observed moving swift fully and carefully during the match wondering what L is thinking though he might be mulling over what I said earlier. "I have reasons for that!" I yelled at Mr. Abe (1) who said he looked me up "Mr. Ryuga?" I asked getting his attention.

He nodded at me so continued "there are many things I'm terrible at you just haven't found them yet?" I said getting ready to serve and I did thinking L must be participating in an internal one-sided battle about how to gain 'Kira's' trust. Though that was before I made the finishing blow and almost stepped wrong in the process which Soichiro will not entirely like before my legs gave out and I ended up sitting on the ground.

When I got back up we went to change and left the school before L said that he 'expected to lose' which I don't like "I hate winning so you're lucky" I said in retort. "Want to stop somewhere? I almost stepped wrong and I'm parched from the match" I said and he agreed before saying he suspects me of being Kira.

I sighed as I took my book out "why are the smart ones so moronic?" I asked also hinting to my sexuality which I'm pretty sure he didn't catch onto. I stopped though as I felt my ankle throb "sorry Mr. Ryuga just my ankle; so why do you suspect me of being Kira?" I asked and he said it was only a one percent possibility.

'So as long as I act how I am supposed to I'll be suspected of being Kira? Oh well won't matter to me either way' I thought as I brought L to my favorite café close to the campus. "Plus It's out of the way so the patrons won't make fun of your tactical sitting position" I said after telling L the reasons why this is my favorite places.

"What do you mean?" I heard L say and I laughed lightly at the question "because how you sit increases your deduction prowess by 40%" I said and he looked shocked before he nodded. "Can we test your deductive reasoning skills?" L asked and I put my book down to see that L had put down Kira notes in front of me.

"Well I believe entirely on the existence of the gods of death because of the folklore and evidence about them, plus apples are always present" I said before I continued "though that's just my personal opinion since it's common knowledge that an apple symbolizes a forbidden fruit" I said reading again. "Though there was a fourth letter and if you add that to it, it doesn't make much sense" he told me and I smiled since that seems like a double meaning.

"This seems like an ignorant test Mr. Ryuga since it seems like there'd be a double meaning to this letter" I said prompting L to ask what I meant. "A Shinigami's title includes death while a murderer is said to have blood on their hands or red hands, but it might also mean this is a part of your test since I don't think Kira would choose something as boring as heart attacks if he knew about Shinigami" I explained thinking I talked for too long.

"Very well so how would you go against facing Kira?" I heard L ask and I smiled shrugging my shoulders as I sipped my coffee. "I don't know but I would be suspicious of everyone" I said emphasizing 'everyone' since he doesn't seem to suspect the police force.

"Your deduction is very good though the Kira scenario is terrible" I heard him say as I read again taking a sip of my coffee "eh, I'm better at investigating in and of itself" I said shrugging my shoulders. "No matter the suspect your probability to gain is high" I said noticing I was almost out of coffee, I raised my hand as Aiya Toshiki walked by "yes Tsuki Hon?" she asked and I smiled at the nickname.

"Could I have more of this delicious coffee?" I asked and she smiled nodding before she left to go get it "what's with the name?" I heard L ask and I smiled at him. "The other reason I come here is because I love their apple menu" I said smiling a bright smile before I continued "Tsuki because I come here every moon and Hon because for every moon that passes I bring a different book" I answered and he nodded.

As soon as my coffee arrived we both got a call that didn't surprise me in the least "man why does he have to work so hard?" I muttered surprising L.


The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out.

One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.


"Take care of him okay?" I heard Mrs. Yagami ask before she left the room harboring glum expression "it was stupid of you to worry mother and Sayu about this" I said ignoring L for the moment. "Yes it was I'll apologize to them later" I heard him say as I pulled out my essay for him "you don't have to read it now but when you're discharged" I said setting it on the side table.

"I get why you told him I'm a Kira suspect but that wouldn't cause this" I said after hearing L say that he told Soichiro I was under suspicion "why would that not be the case?" I heard L ask and I looked to Soichiro to see him shake his head 'no' so I pulled out my book and started reading. "Is Light going to get the chance to join the investigation now that you've talked to him?" I heard Soichiro ask and I looked up from my book to see L looking at me making me force down my blush.

"Yes however I would say he needs to study criminal law more before he joins, it's only fair" I heard L say before I heard Soichiro say that he agreed "father? You do remember the promise I made about stopping Kira myself correct?" I asked. "Yes I do remember however we both know Kira is evil" (2) I heard him say and I knew he was talking about me from the double meaning which made me look at his bed sheets.

"I do agree with you" I heard L say and even though I know he didn't catch the alternate meaning my heart literally stopped for two seconds before it started again "visiting hours are over and are you feeling better Light?" I heard nurse Aiyami say and we left after I told her I was fine. "Why does he have to remind me every f-ing day" I cursed under my breath getting scolded by Ryuk for it as well as questioned by L for my obscene and out of character language.

"See you later Mr. Ryuga have a safe trip" I said reading a book on my way home "Ryuk?" I asked when I felt his presence beside me again. "Yes Light?" he asked me as I kept walking "is it ironic that I've felt cursed even before Kira started?" I asked and Ryuk told me to remember my parents note, when I did I let the tears flow as they wished.


A/N: Hello I finished writing this on paper on March 28, 2016 at 11:05 P.M.

1) Means peace multiple times, there's another meaning for Abe but this is the meaning I wanted for them.

2) What he means by that, the other meaning, is that Light is worse than Kira/himself for not stopping him sooner; a lesson he taught Light when he was younger.

I hope you like this chapter and will continue reading even if it turns terrible. See you Monday.
