Light had turned down L's offer for him to stay in the complex L set up stating: it wouldn't be able to stop Heretic from killing him when Heretic wants, and that if his family saw him die it would be devastating for them. After being released from the hospital, Light headed immediately home. He say in front of his computer and looked up the name "Glora" ,the school he attended in Jr. High, and the years he attended that school, then came up with one result: Gloria Tamura, age twenty, currently the owner of a flower shop "Glora's Glories."
He chuckled and turned to Ryuk saying, "it's all closing in on Heretic. L must also be closer to finding him as well, and I already have what I need to learn his name."
Ryuk simply responded with a chuckle and followed Light as he slipped on a jacket and took off in his white automobile into the sun-light, warm day, while driving through puddles of freshly melted snow.
He parked and entered the door to the flower shop and was greated by a surprised Glora, "Oh! Light! I'm glad to see you out of the hospital. Have anything you need to pick up for a special girl?"
Light laughed saying, "Sorry. But this is more of a social call. I came to catch up a little, because we hadn't had much time to talk in the hospital."
She looked up at a clock hung within her store saying, "Fine, we have a little time before this place gets busy. Were to start?"
He thought for a bit asking, "Are you two an item? It looks like you could be a great couple."
Gloria blushed cherry red saying, "Onishi knows I would like to one day be Mrs. Yamimari, but he insists that it would be crazy until at least a few more years."
Light nodded saying, "It's kind of the same way between me and my girl." His eyes suddenly traveled to the clock and said in an apologetic voice, "I must go. I promised a friend I would meet them soon. I guess I'll see you the same time, three days from now?" Gloria nodded then Light gave a quick goodbye before heading back home sitting in his desk.
Light began with a small smile, that turned into a grin, eventually becoming an all out burst of evil laughter. After a good amount of time spent laughing Light grinned Ryuk's way saying, "We had overestimated him. He refused to kill me, and to top it off Heretic had made it too easy for me to get his name,"
Ryuk chuckled then spoke, "Congratulations Light, well, get your death note and write the name, that is what you had wanted for a long time isn't it?" The shinigami chuckled again while picking an apple up from Light's desk eating it in three bites.
Light slid open his desk drawer, and slipped a pen into the small hole in the bottom opening the false bottom. His eyes widened at seeing his death note's storage area was missing, then frantically began searching his room for scraps of pages torn from the death note, there was none. Light muttered, "Heretic…"
The shinigami asked while arching to pop his back, "Something wrong?"
Light shot a death glare Ryuk's way then muttered while resting his head onto his desk, "How did Heretic… Even if he knew my address he wouldn't have known where I kept my death note or that those scraps of paper was from it. I had gotten so far… but he was one step ahead. I will need to help L if I have any hope to make Heretic pay…."
