Alright, I'm going to post this early because I do not want to have to go through the trouble of having to do it while I'm at the New Year's Party (I tend to do that... I like silence more than the shouts and hoots of party-goers.)

You know what I love? Episode 15 - Wager, when L's all.

"Oh, Yagami-Kun!" smiley face "Konichiwa." :l plain face. - Yes, I'm too pumped with sugar to be thinking straight.

Guess what?

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

She sighed, as she pulled on her flats. She waved a 'bye' to her father, as she left for To-Oh University. The day had passed along smoothly, better than she had imagined. As she sat on a ledge in a tree, she began reading the Hunger Games. One of her "friends" who worked at the book store recommended it. It was a nice story with a great plot about the districts, that she became absorbed into it.

She hadn't even noticed "Ryuga" and Light walking by until she heard a girl's squeal saying "Light!" Looking up, she saw that girl... What was it, Misa Amane? Yes, that may be it. She hoped neither of them in the trio noticed her, for they might drag her along as well. Inwardly smiling, she watched a group form around the three, blocking their view in the peripheral vision from her.

It was perfect for a chance of escape. Until another loud squeal came out.

"Hey, who touched my butt?" Misa asked shocked, as was Jace, as she noticed Ryuga with his hand up. She was turned to him, her face pure shock, and the crowd just wanting to catch a glimpse of Misa. She had a perfect view, being up in the tree, considering she was of higher elevation then them.

"How disgraceful! I can't forgive anyone who would take advantage of this situation." Ryuga said, walking or... skipping, I guess, around in the little circle formed around them. She held back a snicker at how he was acting when it was him who did it all along... Then again, he could be trying to act 'normal'... "I'll find the culprit."

Misa began laughing, her hand covering her mouth. It was pretty funny, she had to admit. "Ryuga! You're so funny!" Misa giggled, along with the crowd who were laughing too. She didn't dare laugh, not wanting to be caught up in a tree. She was unsure of the rules, and whether or not they were allowed atop the nature.

A strict lady, possibly Misa's manager, came forward grabbing Misa. She was angry at her and stalked off with Misa in tow. The crowd had dispersed as Misa left, leaving only Ryuga and Light. Ryuga was in his standard question mark (?) like position, as Light watched Misa wave. They both went opposite ways, which was good for her. Neither noticed her and she was free to escape.

Scaling down the tree, she noticed Light opening his phone, possibly sending a text or calling someone. She shrugged it off, as she went towards the main building, staying farther away from Ryuga, not ready to be approached by him. She stuck to the trees, when Ryuga handed Light a phone. She entered the building but not before catching a few words.

"Misa Amane has just been taken into custody under suspicion of being the second Kira."

She froze, would that mean she wasn't a suspect anymore? ... Only time could tell, she thought, hoping she wouldn't be suspected anymore. She pushed open the doors letting the AC engulf her, content on pushing anything involving the Kira Case away for the short amount of time with seat-work.

The day passed through nicely, this put her at home with nothing to do. Her phone vibrated, which was an odd case, as she picked it up. It was from Ryuga. The text read, "How would you like to meet up with me at the Bakery?"

How had he gained her number? She didn't recall handing it out to him. She only replied with a, "Alright. When and where?"He replied almost instantly, which frightened her just a bit. Standing up grabbing her coat, she noticed the window blowing some cool air in. Shutting it, she exited the house for the second time that day to meet Ryuga at the bakery.

As she entered, she found him sitting in a corner booth with a plate of sweets and a cup of coffee/tea. She sat herself across from him, accepting the silence. He broke the silence with a small hello. She did vice versa, completely betraying her mind and answering him.

"Would you like to get some sweets?" he offered, pointing at the display. She only shook her head, her churning stomach not ready to accept anything with him near. They both remained silent, until he brought up a topic most have been droning on about. "What are your thoughts on Kira?"

She could only shrug, not really liking this Kira figure. "I'm not sure. I'd say I'm in between. What he's doing is great, but the way he's doing it is horrid. He may be ridding the world of criminals, using justice as a cover-up, but its still murder. Plus, the world is imperfect, without crime justice wouldn't be needed..." she thought of adding another sentence, "Then everyone would fear of imperfection. Knowing if they mess up, they themselves could be killed."

He was listening intently at her little sermon. She finished it and only shrugged at him with a "what are yours?" He came out with an answer similar but different from hers'. She only nodded as they continued the little gathering in silence. She remembered how he had sent a text to her...

"Ryuga, how did you get my number? I don't recall giving it to you." she said, confused. He looked at her with a straight face, which sort-of broke her a little. She watched as he came out with a perfect answer.

"That is why we have the internet." he stated, finishing his coffee. She visibly paled; her number was on the internet? Who would've posted it, nobody socially active knew her number...

"O- Okay..." she mumbled confused. A beeping sound came from Ryuga's pocket; he fished out his phone, holding it out in a peculiar way. He said a few things she caught, but she was too busy trying to catch the culprit who posted her number online.

"I'm sorry. I have to cancel this date. I must be going now." he said standing up from his crouching position. He paid for the sweets he ate, when she realized he said date.

"D- Date?" she squeaked, her face possibly red by now. He looked at her confused, as if it were something normal. She gulped down the other squeaks that threatened to hop out.

"Isn't that what you'd call that? A date? We had arranged on meeting each other at this specific place." he said calmly, not flushing like she was. She could only cough and let her bangs cover her eyes embarrassed.

"I g-guess. Bye Ryuga..." she mumbled, hoping to get away from the area. She didn't leave without the last word though, probably nobody left with the last word when with him.

"Good bye, Jace." he said formally, waiting for his car. She didn't stop to see what he drove off in, but made her way home in a hurry. That may have been the most embarrassing time of her life. She trudged into the house, the word date running through her he meant the date-date thing? Like... What socially active teenagers did?

L/Ryuzaki/Ryuga POV

He couldn't help but find himself smiling as he sat in the back of the car. Watari drove on, not wanting to interrupt L's smiling-fit. L smiled, trying to break it down, but ended up smiling even more.

"Ryuzaki, if you do not mind me to question your smiling fit. Why are you smiling so contently?" Watari asked, a grin playing at his lips. L only smiled at him happily, he was smiling. Smiling like he had never smiled before.

"I'm happy." was all he said, as he smiled. They pulled into the hotel, Ryuzaki still smiling, the little tug at the bottom of his stomach... or heart... warm as it could ever be.

I decided to do something I wanted to do. After this.

New Years.

Matsuda and Misa were chanting until New Year's. There was only 5 minutes left. Misa being her impatient self was latched to Light, wanting that midnight kiss.

"4 minutes!" Matsuda shouted gleefully. Jace's eyebrow rose at him, he was acting childish. As she wrote 2 things on her New Year's resolution list, she noticed L writing on his too.

"What'd you write down?" L asked her, hoping she would answer. She shrugged, looking down at her list. She placed the purple pen on the hard-wood table as she picked the thin paper up.

"Well, I put - Nope. It might not come true if I tell you." she stuck her tongue out at him childishly as he pouted. Misa and Matsuda shouted "3 minutes!" and Misa was looking up at Light stars in her eyes.

"That's untrue." L said, reaching out for her paper. Eyes widening, she pulled back at the speed of lightning, her paper at her chest. She glared at his hand, which was there mid-air where her paper was. "I only want to see what your resolution was. Don't act childish."

"No way! I won't show you mine! Ask Matsuda for his!" she said, her glare's daggers piercing into L's eyes. He shrugged looking at his paper.

"Fine then, I won't show you mine." he said, looking at the paper with interest. That was enough to get her on his drift, looking at his paper then jerking her head towards hers' she relented.

"Fine. But only at midnight." she mumbled, looking at the clock. Only 2 minutes to go, picking up the pen hoping she could cross what she had written, L took the pen.

"Meaning you cannot change anything." he said, smiling an innocent smile. She glared at him as there was 1 minute left. He only smiled at her childishly, his second friend. He capped the pen and set it on the table, while Misa was cheering.

"10! 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2..."

At one, both L and Jace exchanged papers. Misa and Light kissed (it was mostly Misa, having forced Light). As did other couples. As Jace looked at L's her face paled, of course it would have this on it. L's face paled visible as well. Then a small blush was on both cheeks having read the second thing.

"That's a quite interesting resolution." L said standing, letting the paper drop. She shrugged.

"As was yours too." she smirked, letting his drop unto the floor. The 2 exited the room leaving the couples with their intimate moments. The 2 papers lay there side by side.

L's: 1. Catch Kira 2. Take any cautions to prove to Jace that I'm _.
Jace's: 1. Kick L's ass for believing I was Kira. 2. Love.

Fin.

I'm completely evil. Fill in L's blank. Jace's is 'Love' only for a reason. :) Ahaha, happy new year's everyone! Have a prosperous/fruitful year!

I'm just going to add more here, it said 1,959 words. I want to make it to 2,000. It may be the largest document I've made. Yay, 2,137! ^-^
