"Kai," he called, after getting out of his car and trailing quickly behind her and grasped her arm," Wait!"
"Don't you dare touch me," Amaya hissed, shaking her arm out of his hands and walked ahead of him, and through the grocery stores sliding doors. Light frowned slightly, eyeing her as he followed her silently.
Amaya's gingerly picked up a basket and strolled through the aisles, eyes trailing over the foods before stopping in the sweets area and ran her hands along the shelves before stopping occasionally and placing some rather products into the dark red basket lightly. After about 10 minutes of this, she turned staring at him blandly with her cool gray eyes and went back to ignoring him. Light rolled his eyes and continued strolling behind her briskly.
As the basket began to fill up, and Light noticed with slight amusement that she refused to act like the basket wasn't heavy, even though there were two liters of milk and a pound of sugar, flour, and sweet fruits must have weighed down the basket. He quickly came up and slipped the basket out from under her arms. She scowled up at him, and turned away after a few seconds.
"Thanks," she grumbled reluctantly, of which Light just responded with a crooked smirk.
"It would have been rude of me not to," he replied, as she placed some coffee beans and tea in the basket.
Amaya shrugged then finally sighed and turned to face Light," Did you understand what I was saying earlier?"
"Yes, I did," Light said, running a hand through his hair," But how did you feel about the murder who framed your brother? Didn't you want any revenge what-so-ever?"
"I did," she admitted," But I didn't want anyone else to die. There is enough death and sadness in this world. This world is rotting, destroying itself from the within as it is."
"I'm trying to restore that," he said, lips pursed in a thin line," I want a perfect world, take out those who are killing it. Only those who are worthy should live in the complete life that I'm creating-"
"Who are you to judge?" Amaya said, voice dropping instantly," You and I both know where you're going after you die. Neither heaven nor hell, doesn't that tell you something? Killing can never be justified."
"Would you die if it meant saving the world," he asked suddenly, as they slowly began walking again, side by side.
Amaya nodded," Of course I would."
"Alright, but in the manner of you dyeing, you aren't allowed to commit suicide," he continued, watching her for her reaction," So, someone would have to kill you. What about killing being justified?"
Biting her lip, as the pair walked up to the cash register and the cashier quietly rung up the foods in the basket. Light stared at her for a few more moments before a small, smug grim crawled it's way onto his features. Amaya was purposely ignored his statement. Light took the bags from the cashier, his eyes not once leaving Amaya's blank expression.
The pair walked back to his car, as he and Amaya slipped into his car, placing the bags in the back seat.
"So?" he finally murmured, as he started the car and pulled out of the grocery store's parking lot and into the more crowded highway.
Amaya remained silent, eyes staring out of the window, head resting in her hand. About a minute later she rested her head against the leather seat, her head turned to stare at Light," There are many things in life that there is only one answer to. Even more that we will never even begin to explain. Many people have tried to create paradise, Light. But when they try the find heaven, they find hell, the one that they, themselves, made."
"You can't judge something from past events, Kai," he replied, then took a small breath before starting again," I'm different-"
"No, Light," she said softly, almost regret lingering in her tone," You used to be different, you used to be one of the most idealistic people to be. Now… now you just changed. Into some devil with a twisted idea that you won't just get off. And I'm not going to try and stop you."
"Why not?" he asked, voice monotone as he frowned slightly.
"Because it's like trying to stop a hurricane," she said absently, a sardonic smile on her lips," There are only a few thing I can do, Mr. Yagami."
"And what's that Miss Hakumei?" he said, his smile now matching hers as they parked a few blocks away from head quarters.
"I could either wait out the storm, or try to outsmart nature itself," she responded, opening the door and before getting out, turned and said with that warped smile not once leaving her face," I'm not the type of girl who waits around doing nothing."
Light let out a small laugh," I didn't think you would be," and looked back to see about 7 bags, the grocery's and clothes mixed in together. He turned to see her skipping ahead, and he face palmed.
"You're a big boy," Amaya called devilishly, turning around to stick her tongue out at him," You can handle it!"
Grumbling, he awkwardly carried the bags after her. Amaya walked slowly, Light quickly catching up to her from his quicker pace. Glowering at her, she just looked at him straight in the face and laugh out loud. Staring at her, he finally let out a sigh and rolled his eyes good naturally.
The two entered the head quarters, Light now struggling. Everyone looked up as Light and Amaya walked in. Light's father raised an eyebrow at Light, who gave him a desperate expression.
"We're back," Amaya greeted, instantly letting out a cheerful tone and smile," Thanks again, Ryuzaki for lending me the money."
"It was no problem, Kaisou," L replied, then a small, almost invisible smile touched his lips," Would Kaisou mind starting to make a cake for me?"
Amaya shook her head," No, I wouldn't mind. I'll just put my clothes and stuff away then I'll get right too it."
"Kai-chan," Matsuda said finally, an apologetic expression on his face," I'm really, really sorry-"
She sighed," It's alright. We'll just forget it ever happened."
Matsuda sent her a relieved smile," Let me help you get your bags upstairs."
"Alright," she said with a small smile, taking the clothes bags out of Light's hands and handing a few of them to Matsuda. Turning towards Light for a few moments she said," Would you mind putting the foods bags in the kitchen? You wouldn't? Thanks."
Light looked at her with an irritated expression before walking towards the kitchen, reluctantly complying. Ryuzaki got to his feet suddenly, and walked over to Matsuda and Amaya.
"Did Kaisou forget that she don't know where her room was?" he inquired, gazing at her through his messy ebony hair.
"Oh, right." she murmured sheepishly," Well, lead the way!"
He nodded, walking up the clear stairs with the two following behind. After walking through a hallway with quite a few doors, he stopped at the one door next to his own, of which she remembered from sleeping there from the other night. He opened it, to reveal a silver and blue colored themed room, with one quite comfortable looking queen sized bed in the center, a large window above it letting the afternoon sun light stream through, illuminating the room in a pale glow.
"I love it," she breathed, giving L a wide smile and instinctivly embracing him in a quick hug. His eyes widened and he tensed before nodding.
"Of course, Kaisou," he said then staring at her without blinking," I'll be-"
"Ehh!" Matsuda yelped, dropping some of the bags with the clothes spilling out.
Amaya's eye widened, and clenched her jaw tightly as her 'undergarments' spilled out. The two men stared at them obliviously, up at her, and back again. Shoving them in the bag, she rolled her eyes and shoved the two guys out of the room.
"I'll be down in a minute," she muttered, trying to force down the heat arising in her cheeks.
Matsuda's flushed, ashamed face made Amaya sigh and ruffle his hair," It's okay Matsu-kun. Stuff happens."
He nodded, and followed L who had already head downstairs. Amaya closed the door, and shook her head and unpacked the clothes and walked back downstairs, and immediately headed towards the kitchen to make L's very awaited cake.
"Would Kaisou mind making me strawberry shortcake-" L called from the main room to Amaya ho was sorting through the food in the kitchen.
"Was already planning to," she yelled back, and poured some sugar into the measuring cups.
Ryuzaki bit thumb thoughtfully, staring at the kitchen doorway which Amaya just went through with a blank expression which didn't let on his bemused thoughts.
Things around here are gonna be different, he thought eyes gazing at the computer screens, Appreciably different.
