Chapter 2: The Doll
"Viola! Don't you look adorable?" Light asked then Camellia looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a frilly dark blue dress with white ribbons and she had a white flower in her hair that was tied with a ribbon.
"Why... Do I have to wear this?"
"Well, this is your first time outside your home, so I thought 'Why not dress her up so cute'? You are just adorable, I could eat you up!"
"I'd be careful, Emma. Light here could never control his issue with cute and adorable things." Shadow said then Light pouted and covered Camellia's ears.
"Don't you listen to that grumb of a trouble-maker, Shadow. He's just going to steer you into the wrong path, Camellia-Emma." Light said, as he smiled at Camellia's reflection. Shadow scoffed then put a hand on Camellia's shoulder.
"Stick with me, sweetie. I'll make your dreams come true with your passion."
"My... Passion...?"
"That song you were singing and dancing to. That is your passion. Well, to put it more exact, art is your passion. Actually... Uhhhh... I can't quite put it to exact... Ha, ha ha ha..." Light said then Shadow grabbed Camellia's hand. She then started following the dark hair man out of a building and into a limo.
"Oh~ A limo. Where you taking her, Shadow?" Light asked as he stepped out of the building.
"Around town. Got a problem with that?"
Light held his hands up and smiled.
"Sorry. Just asking. As her guardian, I'm asking you to take proper care of her. She is fragile little child."
"She's only 12." Shadow said, as he closed the passager door once Camellia got inside.
"Awww... I didn't get a chance to give her good-bye kiss..."
"You're sick in the head. You're 22 years old."
"Oh, and you're a mature 20? Just have her back at the hotel."
"Got it." Shadow said as he got into the front of the limo. As the limo drove off, Camellia looked back at Light then she sighed and looked at her feet.
Well... Guess like I'm spending the day with Shadow... Even though he doesn't seem to like me at all...
She looked around and found books. She picked up one and opened it. It was all in Japanese then she tilted her head.
"Guess I could kill some time learning this difficult language." She said as she started reading.
