I'm probably going to write some chapters in advance (probably not, I might be too lazy XD) because FCAT and EOCs are just weeks away. My AP class isn't looking too good, so...yeah…

And here is another last minute chapter. I might actually take my time. Uploading Saturday night is sort of the same as uploading Sunday morning. Who goes to bed before midnight? Anyone? (Aaaaand now it's Monday. Gomen. But at least it's two weeks exactly, right? :3)

Me: Yeah. I've already updated later before. No big deal. It's basically the same thing, as long as it's in the range.

L-kun: !

Me: I almost wrote you in. Almost. I wanted to save that.

L-kun: …

Me: Hug him, Light.

Light-chan: No.

Me: You're going to hug him, anyway. I've already stated that.

Light-chan: No.

Me: Fine, then.

Light-chan: 0.o

Me: ;)

Light-chan: !

Chapter 5: Stalker

Light's POV (Should I just do third person?)

"Wake up, aniki!" Ugh. Why Sayu? Whyyyyyy…. I turned away from her.

…"GAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" I jumped up, shivering. Sayu was grinning, holding an empty bucket.

Why you little-

"It's dinner time!" She patted my head and skipped out.

Great. Now I have to change before I get a cold.

**********Hi!**********

I calmly walked downstairs to see my mom and Sayu sitting already.

"You look upset, ani, what's up?"

"Nothing." I brushed her off and put some food on my plate.

Sayu gasped. "Don't tell me…"

I narrowed my eyes at her. "What?"

"You have a date coming up!" Sayu gave a Cheshire cat grin.

"…No."

"Yes. Now, who is it?" She set her elbows on the table, and her head in her hands, looking at me expectantly.

"I don't have a date with anyone, imōto," I said, eating.

"Now, stop fighting, you two," mom said, "if Light doesn't want to talk about it, then let's let him be."

I can feel mom grinning behind her fork.

"O.K. mom," Sayu said, digging in to her food.

And now I can feel her grinning, too.

**********The Next Day**********

Walking out of the prison cell and out of the prison A.K.A. classroom and school, I moved towards an open area to eat my lunch. Sitting down on a clean patch of grass under a tree, I picked up a rice ball and began eating.

Sayu and mom have always questioned me on my sexuality a lot. I never responded until I got sick of them asking. I remembered that they squealed and hugged me; saying that they will support me and whoever I chose to be with.

That meant a lot to me. But…

I never told dad.

I'm too ashamed. I examined my chips as I thought about it. Dad was a moral kind of guy. He always believed on doing the right thing. But he grew up in a time where homosexuals weren't publicly accepted. They're not really now, either, but things have changed since then. But the people who were raised in such a way haven't much…

I sighed, and finished my chips. Picking up an apple, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. Pretending to overly enjoy the fruit, I peered at the distraction and my eyes widened a bit.

There's a man staring straight at me, hidden behind the school building. He's a little far, but I could make out blue-black hair, and a suit. I thought that his eyes were actually shining, but it turned out that it was just his glasses.

Another stalker,,,? I've never seen him before. He looks like a college student. Probably a senior.

I was amused, although a little creeped out. His gaze looked hungry…

Not good. So not good.

RIIIIING!

Saved by the bell! I gathered everything, threw out my trash, and walked back to class.

**********?**********

He's following me…looks like I'm going to have to take a detour.

"What a wonderful day!" I stretched my limbs out. "I feel like running."

I got into position and took off. The wind pushed my hair back as my feet kept slapping the pavement. My arms moved in rhythm with my legs. Peering at the stalker, I noticed him trying to catch up with me, inconspicuously. I smirked.

I slowed to a stop and stretched again. I could hear shoes scraping and some rustling. He must've dived in a bush. We had run into the park.

Smiling, I walked in the midst of it. Stalker dude couldn't seem to find me. A safe getaway…

"Did you know-"

"So buy today!"

"I-I love you…"

"We interrupt this program for-"

"And in other news…"

Wait, what?

I turned the channel back to the anchorman. He looked sweaty and nervous. His grimace confirmed it.

He said, "A-and they said that they'll never submit and will fight to the v-very end!" His eyes seemed to bulge and his hands started to shake, the papers in them ruffling together.

Beeeeeeeeeep…

…What just happened?

I got up from my bed and booted my computer. I clicked on a video of the latest news.

"We interrupt this program for an announcement to everyone. A g-group has come to inform us t-that they will not be stopped. They will do their job to uphold peace on Earth, a-and they said that they'll never submit and will fight to the v-very end!"

I exited out and hacked into the NPA database, undetected. Scrolling down, I noticed my father and his coworkers working on a case that was titled, "Suspicious Murders Found Throughout Kanto – Plus Thefts, Murders, Etc.".

So dad knew about this group. That must be why he hasn't been home in a while…

I got out quickly and was about to delete history when I noticed something off about the lighting in the news video. In the bottom corners, a light was reflected from the camera angle, and you can see the back round. Two shrouded men were looking straight at the anchorman, but their faces were hidden.

…Are those guns that they're holding?

**********8)**********

5pg. Well, the plot's coming on quite nicely, isn't it?

Aniki – informal – "bro" …or can be used to address one another in a street gang

Ani – older brother

Imōto – little sister

Me: Next update is on a Saturday this time. I have to study, though.

L-kun: Where am I?

Me: Right here.

L-kun: …Light-kun?

Me: …Let's…leave him alone right now…

Light-kun: ….

Me: I shall be uploading EKTABC's sometime soon, so be on the lookout! The poll has been decided, but you can all still vote if you want. I'd like to hear your opinions.

Everyone: Reviews, faves, alerts, reading, etc. this story are so very much appreciated.
