To Capture a Heart
Chapter 3
I do not own Inuyasha or Death Note or any of the characters.
It wasn't until the next day in the middle of his class that Light realized how to fix the unsavory problem. The best way to deal with this was with sabotage. That way he will still get the girl and will be none the wiser.
As the bell rang Light's eyes lazily trailed Kagome's figure as he watched her busily pack up her entire class period her eyes didn't stray from her work not once. Not even once to check to see in L was present. And he of course knew the reason why, too. The beginning of class Eri, who in all of her 'infinite wisdom' still had yet to realize she had been used and no longer needed, sidled next to Light as if she belonged there and started to talk and talk until it was time for class to begin. It took him a moment or two for him to finally filter through all the meaningless drivel she had spouted to find anything that could have actually be of use to him. Kagome's poor little brother, Souta if what Eri had said was correct, was home alone sick. Kagome being the kind hearted person she was obviously planned to rush home after class to take care of him in his weak state. What a perfect time to start his scheming.
Light quickly turned to L who looked as if all of his attention was going towards looking at the empty space in front of him, but Light knew better. He was watching her too.
"You know Ryuzaki, I know you have trouble interacting with people but Kagome really does seem to want to become you friend. Maybe you should try to reach out to her."
L cocked his head to the side like a confused puppy.
"How?"
"Well today she seems very upset. Maybe you could go up to her and try to hold a conversation. You know, talk about the weather maybe even ask about some of the future specials at the cafe. Make sure that if she tries to walk away to change the subject so that she will stay longer. Keep talking to her as long as possible that way she knows you are trying."
"Are you sure she seems to be in a hurry..."
A little indent formed between L's brows.
"I'm sure she'll have enough time to talk to you."
L started to slowly get up and without saying anything else to Light he quickly intercepted Kagome before she could make it out the door. From where Light was still sitting he could hear L greet her.
"How are you, Kagome?"
"O-oh, I'm fine Ryuzaki. Um, excuse me-"
Kagome tried to walk past L only to bump into him when he stepped into her way.
"Today is slightly cloudy and there is a twenty-five percent chance of rain later tonight."
Light covered his mouth with his hand to hide his devilish smirk. This couldn't have gone any better. Kagome just up at L with a confused look on her face.
"Um... What are you doing Ryuzaki?"
"I'm talking about the weather, now it is your turn to say something."
The remaining people left in the room openly watched the strange conversation take place. Some were whispering to others but most were openly laughing and giggling. Kagome started to grumble under her breath.
"I'm sorry I couldn't hear that Kagome. Can you please say that again?"
Finding her courage Kagome put her fists on her hips and squared her shoulders.
"Why are you doing this Ryuzaki?!"
"I saw you were upset so I wanted to make you feel better by talking to you."
If it was possible Kagome seemed to blush even more. After a second she seemed to deflate.
"Well if you would like you could walk me home so that we can talk on the way, but I really have to go now."
Light could only watch in disbelief as the little conflict was sorted out and the pair walked out of the class happily talking about half off cakes.
"Don't you think they would make such a cute couple?"
Looking to his left he saw Eri watching them leave. Trying to act nonchalant he shrugged.
"They would never last."
If he anything to do with it they will never have the chance to ever begin anything. Walking out he totally ignored Eri's shocked face. Light was too busy planning.
I'm sorry I'm so lazy... :( Please read and review!
