A/N: Hello, I'm back, sorry to have left it one a cliffhanger. If you haven't noticed, I'm posting roughly every week on a Saturday (in Australia). Anyway Death Note doesn't belong to me, if you want to know whom it belongs to, check the previous 2 chapters.
…
Amaya POV
Light was waiting at his door; I check my watch, exactly 11am. I smirk to myself.
"Hey Light!" I smile. Of course it's fake, but I suppose it's real at the same time, I have managed to get him to trust me in under a week.
"Oh, hi Amaya. We should get going. We don't want to miss the bus, by the way nice skirt."
"Thanks, I don't usually wear this stuff, but my mum said I should because I'm going on a date. So Light, what are looking forward to most about the movie?" I ask as we walk along.
"Well, believe it or not this is the first anime I've ever watched. That's what I'm most excited about." He replied.
"What seriously! How could you live this long without seeing at least one anime?" I almost yell at him.
"Well, I've always been too busy with studying."
"Seriously, that's the best excuse you have? Light, you're a genius; you don't need to study as much as you do. Wait I can arrange a thing on one of our days off where all we do is watch anime and do fun stuff. No studying allowed, what do you say?"
"I don't know. I mean I'm a bit busy studying for entrance exams for To-Oh you know. But I could probably fit it in somewhere." He replies.
"Light, like I said, you don't need to study half as much as you do already. Any way, changing the subject, what did you think of L's broadcast last night?"
He looked a bit pissed off, and then he replied, "I think L did a clever trick. The thing he did could have got him killed, but it didn't and he proved Kira exists and where he was. So I think this L guy is pretty clever."
I pretend to think for a minute, "Hmm, I think your right. I also very happy he broadcasted last night. It confirmed my suspicion."
"What suspicion is that?" Light asked coking his head slightly.
"Well at first I didn't want to believe it, but L confirmed it. Kira saved my sister on the day the preschool children were being held captive. I now owe him more than thanks, but I owe him my help. This has made me even more determined to find him." I announce. I know this isn't enough to get Light to admit he is Kira, but my mother always said to take things 1 step at a time.
Light POV
Should I tell her, no not yet, first I have to make her trust me even more than she already does.
"But isn't Kira a bit scary. I mean he did kill Lind L Tailor. A man who at that moment in time was believed to be an innocent man. Wouldn't he be scary to work with?" I say.
"Yes, but he only killed that man because he said Kira was evil, I am a supporter so I have no reason to fear him. Plus if he doesn't have my name and face I should be fine. Though, it would be quite scary working with someone like that, if you step on foot out of line you cold get yourself killed. I also believe Kira has a severe case of thinking he's a God. A God Complex if you must." She replies.
"A God Complex?" I think out loud. She thinks I have a God Complex. How dare she.
"Yeah, you know those people who think they are higher up than anyone else. I believe Kira is like that, he does pass judgement on the 'wicked' after all." She says.
I start to panic, what if she starts to think Kira is a bad thing, just because of this conversation had with her.
"I'm still looking forward to meeting him though, he is practically my saviour." She tells me.
I relax a bit, so she doesn't think I'm that bad. Should I tell her now, no this is also confusing. Why don't I want to tell her, she's a supporter and she won't reject me. So why am I so nervous, why is she having this affect on me. I'll have to ask mum or dad about this tonight, minus the stuff about Kira.
"Hey Light, are you still with me,"
"Are, yeah sorry, I zoned out for a little while."
"That's okay, hey look there's the bus." She says pointing at the approaching bus.
"Oh, are, yeah." I reply not going anywhere.
"Hey, you still with me? I want to get on quickly so I don't get too squashed." She asks waving her hand round to get my attention.
I decide to try something as we walk. "Uh, Amaya. Is it alright if I hold your hand?"
She looks bewildered, shocked and a bit annoyed.
I think I should stop this before she get's creped out, "I mean, if you don't want to it's-"
She interrupts me by taking hold of my hand; she smiles and says, "It's ok. I was just a little surprised that's all. In fact, it feels nice holding your hand."
Why do I feel nervous, all I did was hold her hand? I been a lot closer than this to any girl I've dated before, and even some I haven't. I've heard girls say it happens when you find your true love, but that couldn't be happening to me right? I mean I do want to marry her, but not out of love. Instead out of convenience. She is easily one of the smartest people I have ever met, maybe the smartest. She could even be smarter than me; this is something that will benefit me later. I'm definitely going to have to ask my parents about this.
Amaya POV
His hands are so weird, there completely cold. They are starting to creep me out o much that I'm feeling sick in the stomach. Hmm, maybe I could ask to let go. No that would be weird, especially since I'm sitting here smiling. I'm going to have to get rid of this sickness; it is weird because it feels exciting to. I'm going to have to Google this.
"So, Light, you know how you said you were going to try for To-Oh. Well guess what, so am I. It was a late entry but they liked the look of my past grades so they found a spare spot for me." I tell him. All this really did happen.
"That's great. We might be going to college together. What subjects will you want to study if you get in?" He asks me.
"Well I was thinking law, legal studies, regular psychology, forensic psychology, and criminology." I say.
"Wow, you'll have your hands full then. But I suppose I can't really say that, I'm doing the same things."
"Yeah, I'll do anything to be a police officer like my mother. I may even be a higher ranked one."
"Yeah same with me and my father, hey isn't this our stop. We should probably get off."
We thank the bus driver and get off ready for our 'date'. It starts to rain. Oops, I forgot to watch the weather forecast, and forgot to ring a coat just in case.
"Here, have my coat. You may get sick." Light offers me.
It really disgusts me how evil he can be at times, but at times like this he can be so selfless. "And what about you, you big dumby?" I ask, "won't you get a cold. Light it's really not far from the movie theatre. I'll be fine."
"Okay fine, but you have to stay close to me."
Wow, he's being really forward about this. He raps one arm around me in an attempt to protect me from the rain. To tell the truth I don't really mind rain, unless there is thunder and lighting, in that case I get more scared than Haruhi of Ouran High School Host Club.
We hurry into the movie theatre and get our tickets.
"Amaya, do want to get any popcorn. Remember I don't mind paying extra, if it's for you that is." He says.
Wow, Light really does have no shame. "Just get what you want, I don't really mind. Remember, we are having lunch after this."
He nods and gets a box of small popcorn and two small lemonades; whenever I come with my sisters we barely have enough for the popcorn. It's so expensive here it's something like ¥1300 for a small box of popcorn and another ¥1300 for lemonade, where did Light get all his money?
"Hmm, now the real challenge, climbing the stairs without getting flattered." Light says.
I see what he means. The stairs go around 30m across and 10m up and I can still see people struggling to get from one side of the staircase to the other.
"Well my watch says it is eight minutes until the movie starts, if we take two minutes getting up the stairs we should be able to get the best seats in the theatre. So we should start heading up." I say.
"Okay, but where did all that come from?" He says sounding confused.
"I got all the information based on my two previous experiences in this theatre, so it probably isn't extremely accurate." I reply as we are heading up the stairs, as expected we got the middle seats, perfect.
"Wow, so your theory does really work. You'll have no problem getting into To-Oh at this rate." Light says smiling.
"Thanks'." I say scratching my head. I feel a shadowy presence behind me; I'm guessing it is Raye Penber, the guy that's following Light and probably me.
"Hey Light, what do you really think it would be like to leap through time." I ask.
"Well, it would probably be quite enjoyable if you did it with someone else." He replies.
"Like on Doctor Who, how the Doctor always gets lonely and needs a companion. I suppose your right. It's quite hard to have fun when you're all alone."
"What makes you say that?" He asks.
"Well, at my old school I didn't have any friends. And the people who tried to become my friends left in about a week, hey probably gave up one me. The last few years that I was there it got worse. Not only did they not include me, they practically ignored me altogether. That is probably why I prefer to do things on my own, because I'm not used to working with other people and compromising." There, that should get him straight in the heartstrings. I hear Ryuk and Yami laughing together, both saying something about a pitiful life.
"Well, it's alright. You've got me now; you'll have to learn to compromise. Starting with that day that you want to do, you no the on when all you do is watch anime. If we do that then we won't have enough study time to get into To-Oh." He says.
"But-"
"No buts, we will do it. Only if we do at least two hours of studying after." He says.
I down into my chair, studying is a waste of my time. I don't have to study, I get top marks anyway.
"Hey, you might want to get up now, the movie's starting." Light says to me.
Half way through the movie Light yawns and put's his arm around me.
"Are you tired?" I whisper.
He looks at me slightly confused and whispers back "Do you feel uncomfortable?" He takes his arm away slightly.
"It's okay, I was a bit cold anyway."
Apart from that weird part of the movie, everything went well. By the end of it I was quite hungry.
Light grabs my hand and says, "We should go and get some lunch now, I know a nice traditional restaurant near here. Do you want to go there?"
"Yeah, even though I've been here for around a week I still haven't had any traditional cuisine."
We walk out of the theatre and head over to the restaurant. The rain has stopped now so it's easier to see.
"There it is, that traditional house." Light points to where it is.
It really is a nice place. It is made of dark wood, has some large windows, a really curved roof and a few bamboo plants. I bet its got really nice food, I'm so happy I agreed to lunch as well.
"So what do you think?" He asks me.
"It's really nice, but the windows aren't in the traditional style." I say.
"Yeah, but it has really nice food. Want to go inside now?" He asks.
"Yeah, sure."
Raye is still following us, but it's not like he is a particularly good FBI agent. He gave Light his ID after all.
The inside isn't as traditional as the outside, for it has tables and chairs, but it is still pretty nice.
The waitress takes us to a table, and gives us a menu.
"Just call me over when you have decided." She says.
You may think this is a hard thing to do, but it's not. There are about two other table occupied other than ours.
I look at the menu. I wonder what I should have. I suppose I could have ramen, it's at a reasonable price compared to all the others. Only ¥1800. For a drink I decide Migucha tea.
Light looks up from his menu and asks me, "Have you decided," I nod, he then faces the waitress, "we have decided what we are ordering." She come over and takes our orders.
"So Light, what did you think about the movie?" I ask.
"I thought it was nice, but I don't like endings like that." He replies.
"Yeah, the stories that never really end, the ones that leave it on a cliff hanger." I say.
He nods back.
Raya POV
The café Light took Amaya is quite nice. I think I will take Naomi here when I'm finished with surveillance.
I managed to get the table behind theirs. They are talking about the movie, I'm writing their conversation down in my notebook.
Amaya: Hey Light, want to come to my house to help me look after Sayu and my sisters.
Light: Yeah, we could help them with their homework. I remember Sayu saying she needed help.
Amaya: I should probably help Chiyoko as well, she brought back a test mark yesterday and it was 55/100.
Light: So you won't study to get into To-Oh, but you will help you sister?
Amaya: Hey, I don't need to study for To-Oh; you should know that by now.
I don't know why L is so suspicious about these two; he is especially suspicious of the girl. They both seem like ordinary teenagers.
Their meals are arriving now, at the same time as mine. I may as well eat for what I paid for.
Amaya POV
Our meals arrived. The food was really nice, but I could see Raye looking at us, he really isn't that inconspicuous. It was quite distracting.
…
After we finished our meals we left.
"Hey Light, when is the next bus coming?" I ask.
"In around two minutes. Don't worry we'll we back around 2:30 to look after your sisters."
I wasn't really worried about the dark storm cloud in the sky, unlike the movie theatre; my house is quite a walk from the bus stop. And although I don't like these clothes, I could probably give them to Chiyoko when I'm finished with them.
…
I haven't given light a scare for the whole day, so I decide to do it now as we are walking back from the bus stop. Ryuk is talking about not being on anyone's side but something is creeping him out.
"Light, someone is following us." I say at the same time as Ryuk.
Light stops, and I am forced to stop with him.
"Well, don't worry. He'll be gone soon." Light says to me.
I nod and we continue walking.
It starts raining just as we get into my house.
"We're home." I call.
"Yay, sissy. Chiyoko and Sayu are being mean. They won't let me eat the cakes they made." Rie says pouting.
"That's because they are hot. You'll burn your mouth silly." Sayu says.
I roll my eyes, this is my life now.
…
A/N: Really long chapter. I had to make up for the fact I left it on a cliffhanger. Sorry I didn't update as early in the morning as I usually do, but my Mum had work to do on the computer and I couldn't finish it until now. Any way I would like to know if my readers will accept a Light/Amaya ship. I won't do it if the majority say no. So just tell me in the reviews if you would like it or not.
P.S. If no-one says yes or no, I'll just use the ship.
