Chapter 2

I slowly and sluggishly make my up the stairs of my first class. Today I feel like crap. Do you want to know why? Well, whether you want to know or not I am going to say one name Light Yagami. He is the cause of the bags under my eyes and the cause of my lack of sleep. EVERYTHING is because of Light Yagami. As I was thinking all of this I felt myself bump into the person in front of me. Wait when did someone get in front of me? I don't remember this? Wow I must be out of it today.

"I am sorry for not paying much attention to you. To be honest I am really sluggish today. I am really sorry," I said bowing slightly.

"No worries. It is quite my fault something caught my eye and I stopped. So let's say it was all an accident on both of our parts."

The voice was very dull and monotone I recognize. I looked up and said, "Ryuga-kun!"

He looked at me and said, "Yes, that is my name please don't wear it out."

I just looked at him and he then said, "It was a joke. Aren't people supposed to laugh at jokes?"

"Uhh….that really didn't sound like a joke Ryuga-kun."

"Really?" he asked pulling out a pack of pockey sticks.

"Yes…." I was really distracted looking at the chocolate covered pockey stick. I forgot to eat breakfast so I am starved. And right now those pockey sticks look really, really amazing right now. Just then I felt something being shoved into my mouth. I then tasted sudden sweetness. It tasted like….a…pockey stick.

"Omph my gophsh," I finished the pockey stick and said, "It was a pockey stick. How'd that get in my mouth."

"I stuck it in there. You were looking at my food so intensely. So I shoved it in your mouth. You were even drooling. It was kind of disgusting."

"Oh my god I'm so sorry. I skipped breakfast so I'm really hungry."

"It is ok. I only carry sweets and strawberries if that is okay with you, I could give you a strawberry pop tart."

My eyes widened in surprise and I asked, "Can I really have one?"

Ryuga leaned to the side in his normal hunched form and said in his normal monotone voice, "Which I more scary a girl who flips out over shoes or a girl who skipped breakfast?"

I looked down and said, "I'm sorry."

"It was another joke."

I laughed and said, "Don't be a comedian you are kind of bad at telling jokes especially with your monotone voice."

"I will keep that in mind. Anyway here is your pop tart and if you don't mind may I ask you a question."

I began opening the pop tart and said, "Yeah, ask away I will answer any question as honestly as I can."

"Why do you admire L?"

"Hmm….I never said I admired him but, you are right I do admire him a lot. He is a man who is willing to give his life up looking for the world's most dangerous criminal. I would have to say that takes a lot of guts," I bet into a pop tart and continued saying, "And he also fights for anything. To be host I can see L being a lot like you Ryuga-Kun. He seems like the most amazing man on earth. I would like to meet him and ask him if I can work with him. I want to be someone on his team. So why do I admire him you ask? Well because he is a brave strong minded individual. That is why I admire him so much," I said finishing up the pop tart he gave me.

Ryuga-kun just looked at me with his normal blank emotionless face. I wonder what he would be thinking right now. I bet he thinks I am stupid. I am yammering about a man I don't even know. A man I will probably never meet.

Just then I heard him say, "I bet he would love to meet a strong minded individual like you. I bet you would be an amazing asset to his team."

I begin to laugh and I slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Don't kid with me Ryuga-kun. It would be nice if he would walk up to me and say, 'join my team. You would be a lovely asset to it.' sadly things don't happen like that."

"After class would you like to go to a café?"

I looked at him in surprised with the sudden invite but, none the less I said, "Yeah, sure this is my only class today so, I don't mind."

"I will be looking forward to it."

Just then the teacher came in and started the class.

Xxxx

I fallowed the map Ryuga-kun had drawn out for me. Here I stand in front of a café. I feel a little nervous for some odd reason. I let out a sigh and opened the door and I was instantly welcomed by a smiling hostess.

"Table for one?"

"umm….no actually I am meeting somebody today. Ah you must be the girl the two young men are waiting for."

I fallowed her confused with the part of the two young men. Just then two similar young men came into view. Light-kun and Ryuga-kun.

As I came to the table Light-kun smiled at me a dashing smile and said, "You actually came I had a bet with Ryuga-kun that you would ditch his date offer."
"DATE!?"

"No, not a date a meeting Light. A meeting that is why you are here. Sorry for the misconception but, it is a very important meeting which is why I asked for a back table. I am going to be short and concise with you. I am not the type to ease into things. When I make up my mind it will never waver so, I am here to tell you who I really am. Light here knows who I am. Do you?"

I looked at Ryuga-kun and said, "You are a rich boy named Heike Ryuga. Matched with Light Yagami. Top of the class."

"Wrong."

I looked at him puzzled and as I did he said, "I am L."

I looked at him in disbelieve yet, also in bewilderment. The man sitting in front of me is L. THE L. the world's greatest detective. The man I admired the most. The man I want to help the most. The man who is the key to my revenge for my parents. The man I want to work under. THIS is him? Oh my god he is sitting in front of me.

Just as I realized that I remember everything I told L in the classroom. I suddenly felt my face go hot. I knew I was blushing and I was blushing hard. How do I put it? I have never felt more embarrassed in my life. L looks at me and said, "Now that you know who I am would you like to join my team?"

Without hesitation I leaned accosted the table and said, "More than my life can depend on it."

I then heard a chuckle by L and I looked at Light and he said, "You are a really interesting person."

"Umm…thanks I guess."

"Don't mind Light to be honest he is one of my best team members. None the less you like me as a detective so you will study under me."

With that L got up and began to leave. Noticing that I wasn't fallowing him he turned around and said, "Well? Are you coming or not?"

I smile and said, "I'm coming."

My new life as a member to L's team has begun. There is no turning back now.
