Hello readers! Sorry for the lack of updates again, I was taking exams. T.T It's exam week for me, meaning that summer is here! Well, other than the fact that I'm getting some extra credits in Summer A lol. Anywho, here is File 5! Enjoy!
There was a gentle yet enforcing knock on the door about thirty minutes later. Light got up and opened it to find Watari there in his suit and ready to take the sick Hikari home. The old man looked concerned, but also happy that Light had taken care of her. The boy let her guardian inside as the man found her sleeping on the couch. Watari picked up her things and put them in the trunk of the car that was waiting, then came back for the rider. Light nodded and went to the couch, gently shaking her shoulder. "Hikari, Watari is here to take you home." She opened her eyes and looked up at him in a daze, Light kept his composure as best he could. "Watari is going to take you home, stay there tomorrow. Don't come to school, you're too sick." She nodded without talking and slowly rose to a sit. Light helped her to her feet as she wobbled over to Watari. The man took her arm and led her to her shoes by the door. Hikari slipped them on and then went outside with him. Light waited in the doorway until the car left with the two of them inside, then went back into his own house and closed the door behind him. He no later walked over to the couch that Hikari was sleeping on and sat down himself. Light leaned forward and stared at the not so impressive ground, thinking of all of the events that just took place.
Ryuk could tell the boy wasn't himself. He would usually be talking about his master plans and how Hikari was the missing piece into finding out who L was and how to take him out. The death god hovered over to Light and then sat down, floating in the air, in front of him. He tilted his head a bit and kept his gaze on Light. "You humans are very interesting."
"Hmm?" Light finally looked up to Ryuk and stared in confusion. Ryuk repeated what he said, Light could do nothing but laugh. When Ryuk asked why Light finally stopped laughing and sat back on the couch. "She's mine. Once I get his name there's no need to keep up this little game. Soon, soon Hikari will tell me everything and then I can get rid of her before she gets too close. If I'm correct, with the death of her brother she's going to want to find Kira for herself and seek revenge. I can't allow that to happen. She'll be easy to take care of... once I find out who L is."
Ryuk nodded, again it seemed like a perfect plan. He kept his gaze onto Light as the high schooler stood up and started up ot his room. "Going to work I see." Light never said a word, he just went upstairs and closed the door behind him. Ryuk followed and went through the door, then found Light over the Death Note and already writing more names down to keep L on the goose chase of trying to find out who he was.
The next day came all to quickly for Light, apparently Hikari took his advice and stayed home. He went through the entire day not thinking once about Hikari. From english through science he didn't have one thought of her. It wasn't until he got to his math class that he realized her absence. Light took his seat and gave a quick glance back, Hikari's seat empty. The masked killer just turned back to the front of the class and was ready for the meaningless class once more. He sat there while leaning on his hand, bored about it all. For some reason all he could think about now was her, Hikari and her missing out on the class. The thought of giving her this entire lesson ran into his head, he would have to teach her everything that she was missing at this current moment because he told her to stay home that day. Would that little maneuver really get Hikari closer to Light in order to obtain L's name? It was a risky move, but Light felt like it was the right one. He again changed his attention to the outside world, the life on the other side of the school walls, and was lost in his day dreaming daze.
Ryuk, following around as part of the Death Note rules, kept close attention to Light. The demon could easily tell that Light was uneasy about the missing person in the classroom. He didn't say a thing, he grinned at this misfortune. A death god, a Shinigami, would never fall for such a sour emotion. All that was needed was hate and resentment, anger and fury. Love and the affection of being close to another wasn't needed to live, it was a meaningless emotion to one of god status. He still didn't understand why a human needed it, they could easily live without it. So far, Light had been going through with the absence of this emotion, so why would it be affecting him now at such a critical time?
The final bell rang and the entire class left in a hurry, there was more homework assigned that was due the next day and everyone knew that would have trouble. Light packed his belongings slowly, not worrying about the work. It was simple stuff to him, he would get it done in no time. Light walked down the steps and out of the school. The cold autumn air hit him hard, making Light wince at the cold wind against his face. He zipped up his jacket to the neck and then started off. "Light Yamagi." He heard his name. Light turned around to the school to find Hikari standing there. She wasn't in her uniform, instead she wore a white skirt that went to the middle of her thighs and then a long sleeve collared white coat that was buttoned the entire way up. A little to the side but behind her was the car she left his house in. Light walked up to her, but never said a word. Hikari just looked up at him and then put her hands no her cross necklace. "I'm sorry, I can't go to your house after school anymore. I can't take your tutoring anymore."
"What? But why?" Light asked, he felt a larger loss then that of his information.
Hikari just shook her head, never looking directly at him. "Brother said that I can't stay with you anymore. He's worried and all, then I got sick and that really got him edgy. So... I'm sorry Light... Yamagi-san." She respected him with a slight bow, then stood up again. The winds were going onto Light's face, his eyes stung but he kept looking at her. Hikari finally changed her line of sight directly to Light, then looked away once more. A small gust made her lose her footing, Hikari still being a bit dazed from her being sick, but Light was again there to catch her. He dropped his bag and stood with Hikari in his arms. Ryuk was silent as he watched, Light standing there with Hikari.
He kept his gaze down to her face, Hikari never looked up. "I told you to stay home."
"I did, but I had to come to say this." She whispered back.
Light shook his head, then helped Hikari to a full stand. She finally looked up to him, Light took his hand and put it on her cheek, making Hikari shiver. Hikari didn't know if the shiver was from the cold, or from the warmth. From attraction or fear. Light just kept his gaze in her eyes. The combination of the green and brown eyes dazed him, but he also had so many plans running through his mind. He needed to keep her close to discover her brother's identity, he needed to keep her close in order to find and destroy L. Both were silent, looking at one another. "Meet me on the roof tomorrow after school." Light whispered in haste, knowing that Watari must have been getting worried at the two talking for so long. She nodded and then backed off, giving another bow, and then ran off and went into the car. It drove off with her inside, then he picked up his bag and started off back to his house.
