Who is on a date with whom tonight? Light was standing next to Sachi while they watched L win the third giant stuffed animal tonight for Misa Misa. Being a genius who could solve mathematical calculations instantly in his head helped him beat the rigged carnival games by using physics equations.
"Ooooh, how about that one? I want that one, Ryuuzaki!" the blonde squealed, pointing at the three foot tall Panda at the next booth. "Pulllleeeze! Pretty, pretty, pretty, please!"
Far be it from L to resist a whine like that. Misa needed a little cheese with that whine to make it a full snack.
Sachi and Light released a noisy sigh of aggravation at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. They finally agreed on something: being here with the 'kids' was tiresome and they would rather be somewhere else – anywhere else. Having no choice but to follow their dates to the next game booth, they slowly trudged after them.
"Are you thirsty? I'll go buy us a soda," Light offered.
"Sure. That would be great," she happily accepted.
"You stay here and watch the children. I'll be right back."
"Okay." She chuckled lightly, watching him walk away. She loved to do that. His face might be handsome but his backside was great too.
Sachi blushed darkly because of the thoughts that ran through her head. She wondered what lay beneath that black sweater he was wearing. What would that tight little ass of his feel like in her hands? L was causing way too much sexual tension to build up in her by flirting with her so mercilessly. It was beginning to wear on her nerves and her body. Her eyes focused on his gorgeous face as Light strode back toward her. She resisted the overpowering urge to reach up and brush his long brown bangs away from his eyes. She would press a kiss to his forehead, his cheeks, his…oh god. Lust had made her a monster. She was even looking at a monster as something she desired. Shaking her head to come to her senses, she reached for the drink he held out for her. Her fingers brushed across his and her body reacted as if she touched a live electrical wire.
"Are you all right?" Light inquired, reaching out to tuck a loose curl behind her ear.
"I'm all right," she answered, pulling the band out of her hair to allow her curls to fall down around her shoulders. Most of them had slipped loose anyway. Her hair was hopelessly unmanageable.
"You're so beautiful. Why do you try to hide it?" he asked, taking a handful of her curls in his hand to fluff them up a bit.
"I don't know. Sometimes we don't know what resides within us until someone draws it out," she said, looking into his deep brown eyes.
"Sachi, I –"
"Light, Light, Light, Light!" Misa Misa chanted as if she were his personal cheerleading squad. She ran to her boyfriend and tried to hug him but could not because of all of her oversized prizes in her arms that were won by L.
Damn how annoying can one person be? Sachi clamped onto her straw with her teeth, chewing it as she walked toward L. She jumped when he draped his arm over her shoulders.
"How's it going?" he asked her.
Both of them had their eyes on Light and Misa Misa as the two interacted. Misa was babbling excitedly about something, waving her arms and jumping around. Light was enduring the one woman show with an expression of bored indifference while he held the stuffed animals for her.
"It's going. I'm so bored. He's such a stick in the mud," Sachi complained.
"Well, loosen him up. You're good at getting people to do things they normally wouldn't do. Suck it up, Missy. Get out there and fight," he said, slapping her on the ass if she were a boxer about to enter the ring.
"You like doing that a little too much," she snapped, glaring at him.
"You've got a nice ass. I can't help it. Want me to –" He lay his hand on her behind and massaged it gently.
Sachi felt a hunger stir between her legs from his slow sensuous caressing of her behind. "No. No, I don't," she muttered, turning toward him so his hand would fall away from her butt. She whimpered when he rested it on the swell of her hip instead. Her breathe halted from the unforeseen kiss he pressed to her lips.
"They were watching us," he mumbled against her lips.
"Oh, I see." She was thankful he did not make the kiss last too long and kept his tongue in his own mouth. Just the contact of his mouth against hers was making her sweat from arousal. She anxiously pushed her hair behind her ears avoiding eye contact with Light as he and Misa walked toward them.
"Ryuuzaki! Come play some more games for me!" Misa Misa shrilled enthusiastically, grabbing his hand.
Alone again with Mr. Congeniality, Sachi sighed sadly. Light was stunning to look at but not much lay beneath the surface except and frozen, inflexible perfectionist who seemed to be allergic to fun. L's words echoed in her head which prompted her to seize him by the hand.
"Come on. I'm tired of standing here. Let's go ride some of the rides," she suggested dragging the unwilling man behind her. He must be accustomed to this treatment because Misa seemed to be in the habit of lugging her men around.
"I don't want to," he protested, pulling back against her.
"Oh, don't be so stubborn. A little fun won't kill you," she argued, pulling on him harder.
"This isn't my idea of fun." He jerked his hand out of hers, nearly causing her to fall.
"What is your idea of fun?" This was an answer she was extremely interested in hearing.
"Well…"
Just what she thought. He did not have any idea what to do to have fun. "So what are we supposed to do? Just stand here and stare at each other all night."
"I don't know. The view's not so bad," he returned, giving her a thousand watt smile.
Ooooh, good one. That was an awesome line. Sachi was no longer in the mood for his brand of bullshit. She was bored and sexually frustrated which was not a good combination when alone with a handsome man. Did he even have sex? She honestly could not imagine the frigid Light Yagami indulging in such a filthy, sordid activity. What the hell had L been thinking?
Sachi glanced around searching for a suitable ride for them to go on. She rubbed her hands down her slim body hugging black skirt. Damn L; a pair of jeans would have been nice to have at this moment. She had come to the conclusion that she must have really great legs since L wanted her to show them off. Her legs were not the only asset of hers he liked a lot. With limited options due to her outfit, she looked around desperately for something they could ride. Her eyes landed on a horrendous hot pink sign with an even more horrible cartoon of a couple kissing with hearts in their eyes. Tunel o' Luv the sign declared in foot high red letters. Holy crap someone was a terrible speller.
"I found just the thing for us." In a burst of sadomasochistic motivated inspiration, she pulled him to the ride that would surely be a sensory nightmare for the both of them.
"You're kidding right?" His pretty face twisted with revulsion as he glowered at the couple in front of them in line already engaged in a kiss that should have been saved for the ride.
"Oh, Light where's your sense of adventure?" She pawed the sweater feeling his hard pectoral underneath. She gritted her teeth and gulped as her body had an immediate chemical reaction called sexual attraction. Cursing herself for feeling like an animal in heat, she forced a smile to her face as she leaned against his side.
"I don't have a sense of adventure."
"Or humor. But I'm not holding that against you am I?"
"No. But your body is a different story now isn't it?" he inquired, sliding her a sidelong glance complete with a conceited smirk.
Sachi grabbed his elbow and linked her arm through his. He appeared quite pleased with himself that she could not keep her hands off of him. Not only had he not been offended or disgusted by her closeness, he had gave the impression of liking it. When it was their turn, Light got in the swan shaped boat first then reached back for her, offering his hand to her with a bow like Prince Charming. 'Such a lovely actor,' she thought to herself, gingerly taking his outstretched hand. The ride attendant purposely rocked the boat, throwing her forward. With a short shriek, she fell into Light who held her securely against his chest while preventing them both from falling overboard into the murky water.
"Have fun you two!" the burly man ground out around the big fat cigar in his mouth.
Sachi settled into the plastic seat next to Light with her body pressed to his side. It was difficult to keep her smile soft and pleasant instead of breaking into a wide, silly grin when his arm lay comfortably across her shoulders as if it belonged there. No cheesy yawn and stretch pretext for the fabulous Light Yagami. If he wanted something, he went for it. Self-confidence was king and so was he.
Her insane giggling began as they were bombarded with some of the tackiest and most cliché romance icons known to man. Pink and red reigned in the bicolored landscape filled with cupids holding bows armed with arrows, hearts galore, and soft fuzzy teddy bears. The giggling gave way to guffaws when she saw that someone had gotten inventive with the decorating and rearranged the stuffed animals into various sexual positions.
"Hey! Look at that one," she chuckled elbowing him in the side to look at the white and brown teddy bears in the corner. The brown one straddled the white one's head while its head was shoved between the white one's legs.
Light covered his mouth with his hand trying to hide the grin on his face. It would be beneath him to laugh at such a tawdry, lowly attempt at humor.
"Oh, laugh with me!" she begged happily, taking his hand in hers. "It won't hurt. I promise."
Suddenly there was nothing to laugh about as they entered a dimly lit part of the ride. The lighting was muted blues and greens and the images on the walls were provocative underwater scenes of mermaids and mermen locked in amorous embraces and passionate kisses.
"This is…different," she murmured, staring at the sexually suggestive pictures. Noticing the mermaid's breasts were drawn in great life like detail she understood the age limit warning. She recalled seeing it in the corner of the sign in black letter only one inch high: Minimum age 18. She figured that was simply because of the kissing that was expected to be a part of this ride. Anyone younger and it could be considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
"Actually, I think this is quite artistic. It's really nice after that awful assault to the eyes we just suffered through," he said, looking around at the murals that were unexpectedly well drawn and beautifully painted.
"This is a nice surprise," she sighed, leaning her head against his shoulder without thinking. Dare she think he might be loosening up and enjoying himself? She just wanted to relax and look around since they had slipped into a comfortable moment.
It was so peaceful and cool in here. The water lapped at the sides of the boat as it was gently pulled along the by the conveyor system beneath it. Her body shivered from the cool breeze that blew across her when they entered the next section of the ride. This must be the end of the ride when the kissing was supposed to take place because it was nothing but a long, dark tunnel. She shivered again and she felt Light's arm curl around her to bring her closer to his body. She willingly curled into him because his body was putting off heat like a human space heater. Her heart thumped hard in her chest, and she was sure it was bumping into her rib cage. She could virtually feel the blood rushing through her body faster when his velvety lips brushed across her forehead.
Sachi was glad they were sitting down because it felt as if her bones had turned to gelatin. Goose bumps rose to the surface of her skin when his hand slid up her arm. The contact was delicate and enticing as his fingers moved across her skin using the sense of touch to navigate over her shoulder and neck to find her face. With gentle pressure on her chin from his forefinger, he pulled her chin up to raise her lips. Her stomach knotted as she waited in breathless anticipation for his kiss. All of a sudden, the doors swung open and they were blinded by lights. Jumping apart and shielding their eyes, they realized they had reached the end of the ride, and it was time to get out of the boat.
Waiting for them at the exit platform was a furious Misa and an amused L. It was going to be a long ride back to the hotel.
...
The whole way Misa Misa chattered like an angry squirrel, verbally hammering Light about how inappropriate it was for him to be alone with another woman, how he was mistreating her, and on and on it went. By the time they reached the hotel, Light and Sachi had headaches, Misa was still bitching, and L could not have been more entertained. A hasty goodnight was exchanged at the elevator when they reached their floor and the couples broke apart to go their separate ways.
"I'm going to take a shower," Sachi announced, ignoring the stares of the room full of cops. When were they going to get accustomed to her being here? "Can you get me something for a headache?"
"Sure. Watari?" L called for his caretaker.
Sachi rolled her eyes and continued on her way to the bathroom. How difficult could it be to get two little pills for her? She began stripping as soon as she entered the bedroom, leaving a trail of clothes right to the tub. When the water was still lukewarm, she hopped into the shower and turned her face to the refreshing stream. Perhaps a cold shower was what she needed. After adjusting the faucet, she braced herself for the icy water. The shock of the cold water felt good on her hot body, and it seemed to help her headache. Staying under the freezing shower as long as she could, her chattering teeth served as an indication for when it was time to get out.
The pills for her headache and a glass of water sat on the nightstand by the bed. For some inexplicable reason, she found it disappointing when the panda eyed pervert was not there to greet or grope her.
