Alright! File 3 already! I sure hope that the story isn't going slow for you readers. XD

Thanks again for reading and keeping up with Light and the gang! Please enjor File 3!

Light made it to school, putting his stuff down and starting with his classes. He didn't have any other classes with her, Hikari took honors for the other classes while Light took the high advanced placement classes. He always took a window seat, always staring outside and waiting for the boring day to end. The entire day went by, classes with lunch, and it came to math class. The rain stopped falling down, Light didn't have much to look at out of the window this time. He took his assigned seat and took note to the entire class entering. Light found Hikari as she came in and took her seat without a word. She was dry now, but didn't look as perky as she usually was. He kept his gaze on her as long as he could without being noticed. One hour and thirty minutes of log rhythmic formulas and computing the equations in a calculator. Sometimes this was interesting, but again Light found no amusement in playing around with his calculator. The bell rang for the class to end, time to head home. Light packed his school supplies slowly as the class cleaned out. He kept in his seat and never looked up. Hikari finished packing her things and got out of her seat, then went over to his desk and held her briefcase bag behind her waist, leaning over as Light glanced up. She put herself right in his line of vision with a smile. "You sure take a while Yamagi-san."

"Don't call me that anymore." He closed his bag and stood up. Hikari took a few steps back as Light pushed in his chair and then started for the door. "It's Light."

She giggled and skipped a bit to catch up to him, then pranced next to Light as they started down the hallway. "Okay then Light, no more Yamagi-san. I can get used to that." He didn't reply to this, so both were silent all the way down the hall and down the stairs. No later did they head outside, the rain no longer falling but everything still wet. Light and Hikari were silent as they walked to his place, the silence was strange to Hikari. She turned her gaze to the silent boy again, they had been walking the past five to ten minutes without saying a word. "Thanks for helping me with my math Light. It means a lot." Light nodded, still walking in silence. "Something on your mind? I know you're the silent type but this is longer then I have ever seen you be quiet."

He still said nothing, then nodded his head without turning to her. "Nothing, I'm just used to walking home alone that's all." Light lied through his teeth. He was concerned with his reputation on Death Note. With Hikari there how was he going to write the names of criminals and keep L off of his back? Light now needed to find a way to keep up both of his lives without anyone noticing any suspicion. Kira and Light were one in the same but one life could not meet the other. Hikari smiled again, at least he was talking now. Light kept going, this time he started the conversation. "So, why do you need this help in math so much? You're not that bad and can always head to the normal honor class if you're having trouble."

"Brother wants me to keep going with this math. He says that math and probobility are the only things that life needs to live." Hikari quoted her brother, imitating some type of boy voice. She then sighed and held her bag in front of her. "But you know what? Math has never really been my thing. I like art better, painting is my absolute favorite thing to do."

Light tilted his head in her direction a bit, a conversation he could get into without harming Kira at all. "Painting? You don't seem like the art type of person."

"Really?" She thought it over, then shrugged her shoulders as they turned a corner. "I guess not, but it still interests me. I mean, one simple stroke can make the picture come to life. When you're painting you are placing your heart and soul into one fragment of time, one piece of something much greater. Who knows, maybe that one work of art, that one stoke of a painting, can change a persons life or way of thinking."

"That's a little far fetched." Light blurted out. Hikari blushed at her foolish dream and turned her gaze downward as they walked. Both were again silent for a bit, then Light stopped walking. Hikari stopped as well and finally looked up, they were at his house. Light went to the door and turned the doorknob, it was locked. No one was home, he had forgotten that today was the middle of the week. Everyone was out late on wednesdays. Light took out his key as Hikari came up from behind him. He opened the door and took off his shoes, letting his feet slide in the slippers. Hikari just stood in the doorway and closed the door behind her. "You can use my sister's slippers." Light said, heading for the back of the house. Hikari nodded and took her shoes off as well, his little sisters slippers fit perfectly. She skipped over to catch up and followed Light up to his room. When both got up he gently placed his bag next to the bed, Hikari followed suit. Not being seen, Ryuk took the bed and lay down with his head hanging over the side again. Light took his seat at his desk as Hikari stood and looked around the room a bit. "You can sit on the bed if you want." He said. She nodded and headed for the bed. Ryuk grunted for having to move, he didn't like when a human sat on or in him. Ryuk went to the window and sat there to watch the 'tutoring' session as Hikari sat down on the bed. She kept looking around, both amazed and looking a bit frightened. "What's the matter? Now you're the quiet one."

"Nothing, I just think I've seen this before." She kept taking in all of the details, then let her slippers slide off as she raised her feet to the bed. Hikari sat on her knees and then rested her hands on her knees, leaning forward so her cross dangled a bit. "Never mind, I'm okay. Ready whenever you are Yama- Light." She giggled a bit, almost slipped in his name calling.

Light nodded and pulled his computer chair closer to the bed as Hikari took out her books and notes. Light scanned over her work, she wasn't as bad as she thought. Hikari did seem to have trouble with logs and also with integrating, but it wasn't like it was a lost cause. She waited in silence as he kept scanning her work. "hmm..." was all that came out of his mouth.

Hikari sighed, that sigh didn't sound to happy. "I suck at math, don't I?"

"No, you're actually really good." He lifted up one of the papers to eye level as Hikari took notice of his eyes going from one problem to the next. He then put the paper down and took a pencil from his desk. He came back to the seat and started to point a few things out. "When you integrated this you set the exponent to the negative, that's deriving. And here you switched the square root for the fraction exponent but only forgot to switch it back after you integrated it." She nodded, understanding every word he was saying. "The only other problem that I see is simple math. Mixing up simple multiplication and addition by one or two points. It's not like you're messing up so bad that you're going to fail the mid term exams."

"You think?" Hikari asked like a child. Light finally looked up at her instead of the paper, her face was pretty close now that he noticed it. Light still wasn't used to her green and brown eye, so out of instinct he moved back a bit. "Sorry." She sat back a bit too, now glancing over her work. "I do that a lot, it's my eyes isn't it?"

Light nodded, then went back to his job. "I can help you with this first. You seem to be having more problems with integrating then logs and powers to the 'e' exponent. So let's start with that okay? What time do you have to leave?"

Hikari crawled on the bed over to her bag, and without getting off leaned over and dug around for her cell. It was a small silver flip phone with a phone charm of a fortune cat, a black and a white one both dangling off of base of the small antenna. She clicked a few buttons, then closed it and put it away. No later Hikari crawled right back. "I have about two more hours. At eight Watari is going to pick me up."

He acknowledged this with a nod, then got some free paper and something hard to write on. Hikari got herself comfortable on his bed as Light came back to start the lesson. She still sat on her knees, and still seemed a bit paler then normal. Light didn't take it much into account, she did walk in the rain before and might have been catching a cold. He started with the first problem to integrate, a real simple one to get her into the swing of things. Hikari took her own pencil and started to solve it, muttering simple equations to herself as she wrote them down to show her work. When she was done with the 'simple' problem she flipped the paper around to Light. He took a quick glance at it, then sighed. Hikari had got it wrong. He showed her the mistakes with the negative exponent due to the fact that she brought the equation from the denominator to the top and forgot about it, then created another problem for her to try out. Hikari remembered the exponent flip, the negative, and placing it back. After about five minutes or so she returned it to him and Light took a look. "You got it." He said, her first right problem. Hikari smiled and said a quick thanks, then waited for the next problem. He wrote a more complex problem, Hikari took her chances at solving it. This routine went on for the two hours, both having a rather interesting time in the tutoring lesson. His clock beeped at eight, Hikari's phone rang at the exact same moment. She crawled over to her phone again as Light organized the many papers they had used.

She opened the phone (which was ringing a very perky chinese melody) and said a quick hello. "Oh, Hi Watari. I know it's eight I was going to- Brother? But he told me he was working late tonight on the case. No... no I'm not at school... I'm at Light's house... he's my tutor remember?... Brother didn't know I was at tutoring?... just tell him I'm fine... I can take care of myself too you know... at least I don't sit odd like him... seriously Watari, Brother can scare me with his antics... yes... yes one second okay?" She held the phone down a bit, then looked over at Light as he stood up with the papers. "What's the exact address of this place? Watari wants to pick me up as soon as possible."

Light gave her the address, then she told it to Watari on the phone. After some silence (other then the non-comprehensible muttering on the cell phone) Hikari meeped as if she bumped into someone again. "Get Brother on the phone then! I said I was- Brother? What's up with you?... no I'm not in any danger... this has nothing to do with-... no I didn't talk to anyone about it... no... no he's not here either... this is the same place? That's cool... why not let him help then, Light is really good at... no... no I said nothing like that... Brother please not now... what was that?... Brother I hear Watari calling for you... why not?... yes he is coming to pick me up... he just left? He's coming here... yes... okay Brother... I'll see you when I get home... yeah... yeah okay... okay bye." Hikari then closed the phone, giving a deep sigh. "You're lucky you don't have an older brother."

He smiled a bit and handed her the papers, Hikari packed her bag and then sat with her feet hanging off of the side. She was pretty short, her toes barely touched. "He's that strict over you?"

"About certain things yes." Hikari laughed a bit as Light sat down next to her. She then leaned forward again and looked up into Lights face. "He thinks you're dangerous."

"Me?" Light might be getting more clues then he thought he would get in one night. He didn't want to push too far, but did want to get some more answers. "How can I be dangerous?"

Hikari laughed again, sitting back again. "Who knows, my brother can get a little paranoid. He doesn't want me to call him by his real name anymore, he doesn't leave the apartments we always take, and now these strange men keep coming over. Actually... Brother is starting to worry me. He love to work on cases, helps out police and all." Hikari looked up to the ceiling, a small silence haunted them. Light kept glaring at her, hoping to read the answers from her expressions and movements. "He loves it... but sometimes he takes on the cases too seriously... this is one of those times. I can't tell the case, but he's been on it longer then I can think of... longer then most have been on it. It's just... I can't go anywhere anymore because if it. When he heard Watari say your name he flipped out, said I had to get out right away. I tell you, he's really getting paranoid." Hikari looked over to Light again, finding that he had been staring for a while now. She started to blush again. "Something on my face?"

"No." Light finally turned his head away, both still there in silence. The minutes passed by, both just sitting and waiting for the other to say something. Light then stood up after a good ten minutes, starting for the door. Hikari stood as well, getting the hint that it would be best to wait downstairs. He opened the door as Hikari let her feet slide into the slippers once more and started down the steps. Light followed and closed the door, Ryuk walked right through the door and followed. Both went into the living room and sat down on the couch to wait. Hikari took another look around, then turned to Light to ask the question of the family. "Mom is out shopping, Dad is working late tonight on a case too. I guess Sayu is probably at a friends house, she does that a lot." Hikari nodded, then sat back again and waited for Watari. Still Hikari said nothing, Light felt strange in this silence. Both just sat there, Ryuk snickering off to the corner behind Light. They both heard a car come up, then a door closing and the door bell ringing.

Hikari stood, taking her bag and going for the door. "Thanks again Light. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." She gave a slight bow and put her shoes back on, then went outside to meet with a gray haired old man. He followed Hikari to the car and then opened the door for her. She slipped in, but not without giving Light a quick farewell wave. He never got to see it, once Hikari walked out the door Light ran upstairs to start with the death note. It had taken longer for Watari to come then Light wanted, it would ruin his plans. He needed to think of a way to keep up the cover with tutoring Hikari and keep up with cleaning the world of criminals with Kira. Light turned on his television and computer as the car drove away, he then started to write names with the faces in his mind.

So, what did you think? I think it's sort of easy to tell everything now... I hope that it went alright!

I'll keep posting the story as much as I can, but I can't make any promises. My life is going through a roller coaster right now, so updates might be a little... slow? XP

If you like my writing (and other topics other than Death Note) then please check out my profile and the other stories that I have up! I love comments on all of my work, I wanna know if I should keep going or not. n.n
