Did you know that I can read lips? Light cocked an eyebrow at the voice in his ear. The bud was invisible and didn't feel weird in his ear so he kept it in always, it was even water proof. It wasn't that he wanted to hear the brats voice it was that he often forgot it was there until Aya spoke. 'I can. Ryuk told you about Shinigami eyes, right? I want them even if I don't have a Death Note. I can use them to help you. I know it is half my life span but I probably wont live much longer anyway. I've gotten sick recently...I get sick a lot and every time I do I could die but I always manage to pull through. The only problem is that I would need to own the Death Note so I have a favor to ask...'

"Interesting. " Ryuk cackled. "Lets do it!"

Light clenched his teeth and pulled the device out he quickly tapped out an answer with the stylist.

'You can't go outside so how will it help?'

"That is a good question." Aya said, " The truth is I got sick because I left house. I did. I ...I went to see father...I had to and need to continue to do so. I know i can get over this problem of mine. See I lied before I'm not exactly allergic to the sun as I was born very sick and father locked me in a dark room with medical staff on round all day and night so until I was seven I never saw light before except glowing monitors. "


Aya sighed he really didn't want to talk about this.

"When I first went outside the light just hurt. I've been outside a few times in my life but it never actually stuck. This time it will. I'm going to get stronger and help you cleanse this world, Light. I need those Shinigami eyes because my father...My father is the Leader of Kanto region Yakuza . My mother, brothers, sister and I we normally don't have contact with that man but if I do have contact I'll be able to help you. I've told my family that it's all for the investigation and of course it is just not what they think. "

He watched a message appear from Light again.

"Wouldn't this inconvenience Ray?"

"That's an interesting theory to say the least. " Aya said, "This was originally based off of something Ray said to me. He said, "I wonder if I was able to see the creature follow Light Yagami around would my headaches go away so I could concentrate in class?" That's what inspired this plan . You bequeath the Death Note to him then he can see Ryuk and Ryuk can follow him home . Ray would then bequeath the Death Note to me and I can make the deal with Ryuk. Come morning and time to leave I bequeath it back Ray and he bequeaths it back to you before class starts. It's simple and easy and yet so very complicated. It's my kind of plan. "


Light couldn't resist smirking at that. He noted that Ray was really rubbing his head and wondered if he was really okay with all of this. He agreed though . Every bit helped and with this he could take down the Kanto Region Yakuza with insider information. He almost felt sorry for using Aya this way. Almost. Then he had a better plan why didn' t he finally agree to meet the boy and string him along. Make the boy think he was interested in him. It was cruel yes but it was for the greater good. He didn't bother informing Aya of his plans. When school was over he walked up to Ray and his group of friends.

"Ray, " Ray spun the tensed a bit.

"Oh, right." Ray said, hitting his hand to his forehead, people were watching they were from two different social groups after all so he had to put on a show. "I almost forgot you agreed to tutor me in math. I can't tell you how grateful I am for this, Light Yagami. Really. "

"Yes, you said that when I agreed ." Light said , playing along. "Well lets go I don't have all day."

"Right." Ray turned to his friends and raised his hand. "Catch you later."

With that he and Light walked off . They stopped when they were a good distance from the school because Ray was being effected by Ryuk again.

"Aren't you supposed to give me something?" He finally asked,

"I will just to test the limits of your strange ability. " Light agreed , "Just touch this piece of paper. " He tapped a piece of paper to Ray's skin and Ray fell over on to his but seeing Ryuk for the first time. "I want to see Ayakashi to make the deal myself. "

"Ye-Yeah okay." Ray said, getting up. "Lets go then. "


"Aya." Aya looked toward his door. he got up and went to the living room. He flinched at the light then gasped, standing next to Ray was Light Yagami and Ryuk. "Uh...they followed me home?" Ray said, lamely. Then shrugged the whole family, that lived in the house was there. "They said you had case stuff to work on. You are working together right?"

"We are." Aya confirmed, "But next time be more careful you could be leading Kira straight to me. "

Ryuk laughed at that causing several of the boys to flinch and/or cover their ears. The little girl marched up to him apple in hand and circled him twice.

"Shini wike apple." she said pushing it into his hands.

"Cho!" Aya scolded.

"I didn't tell her that!" Cho cried, he himself was eating an onigiri. "Mich did."

Light , and Aya glared at the eldest brother who looked non pulsed and just turned the page in his book.

"I'm taking them to my room."

"Very well, dear." his mother said, "I'll send some snacks along..."

"I already have snacks you just sent them."

"Oh, yes ofcourse I did."

Light cocked an eyebrow as they entered the dark room.

"I'm working on it." Aya said shutting the door. "Lighting my room that is. But in truth I prefer darkness. " A small lamp was on on the far side of the room. It didn't give off much light. The bathroom door was open as well and the light was on it covered more of the room. "You didn't tell me you were coming. " Light sneered to himself Aya was blushing. "Please take a seat."

They ended up sitting across from each other the snacks spread in between them.

"You're cuter than I thought." Light said, setting his tea down. Sure enough Aya's face went crimson. Light felt something stir inside him. Was he actually beginning to care? He scoffed at the very idea. Ryuk was eating anything he could get his hand on and saying how good it was. Light pulled out the Death Note and passed it over to Aya. "I , Light Yagami bequeath this Death Note to you. "

Ryuk stared as he felt Aya except the Death Note the boy had a very short time to live.

"I want to make the Shinigami Eye deal, Ryuk." Aya stated firmly. They made the deal and Ryuk was even more confused the boy's life span hadn't halved at all. But he wasn't about to tell them that not right now anyway. Aya gasped and stared at Light's information he was happy to see that Light would live a long time. "It worked . " he held the Death Note back out to Light. "I , Ayakashi Hitodama , bequeath this Death Note to you."

"Thank you." Light said, calmly . "You're sure this will work?"

"I'm positive." Aya replied, then caught his breath and blushed Light was suddenly leaning close studying him. He was even hotter in person. "It'd be better if I could help of course but I don't have a Death Note. "

"Why would that be better?" Light wondered, he was memorizing everything about Aya.

"Well, then you could focus on the prisons and I could take the Yakuza and my father's associates. But oh, well. "

"That is an interesting thought ." Light said, "But it's also rather curious. I wonder if anyone would be able to tell the difference between you and Kira if you were able to do it. Of course we'd have no reason to keep in contact anymore and that would be such a shame."

Ryuk cocked an eyebrow what did Light think he was doing.


Light quietly explained his plan to Ryuk as they walked home that night. Ryuk had a nice laugh at that.

Aya's father had arrived shortly after Light had gone and he was now standing before the man in the back yard. They lived in one of those old Japanese style manor houses. They were by the Koi pound.

"As I have told Mich and Ray before you." his father said, "The reason for this gift of yours is that once upon a time one of our ancestors had a child with a Shinigami?"

"Shinigami?" Aya repeated, "You're saying I have Shinigami blood in me?"

"Yes, as do I." his father stated, "You are a Shinigami Prince. You, Cho, and Lissa are strong and powerful. You will all be able to master your skills and probably access being Shinigami or half and half. "

"I know a Shinigami." Aya blurted. "I met him for the first time today. Ray is around him everyday. He ..."

"Ray may develop then." Kenji laughed, "But I am telling you this because every Shinigami is given a Death Note. " he handed a black book over that looked like Light's "This will work like a normal Shinigamis..."

"I can increase my life." Aya laughed, His mother, Ray and Mich had just come over. "I can increase my life! I wont have to die before I'm ready!" he was actually happy. "This is great."

"You do realize how you increase your life don't you?" Ray asked.

"Sure I do. Say a person is set to die at 80 but I write their name down in my Death Note as Heart attack at 50 that would add 30 years to my life! I would only need to kill one person !" his eyes were actually shining his mind racing he already had a target in mind. His mind raced he had to tell Light right away! Then he froze in that thought what if Light took this wrong? No! It didn't matter because Light knew he was loyal to him and him only. He would help Kira! "This is amazing why didn't you give this to me before? I wouldn't have had to worry about dying every time I got sick!" he was on his feet. "I have to go somewhere!"

With that he was running out of the yard ignoring that they were calling for him. He hit a button on his watch to activate the earbud in his ear.

"Light, I've got some news! Meet me at the cafe across from your school at 5."

He was winded and weak by the time he arrived. He'd had to stop to buy a hoodie , even though it was summer, and sun glasses because he just couldn't handle the damn brightness but this was so worth it!
