Lights's POV

"I'm Home." Light called from the front door. No answer was heard. Sighing he went into the kitchen and grabbed two apples off the counter and a bottle of water out of the fridge before heading upstairs to his room. He looked at the door of his bedroom and was happy to know nobody had entered his room while he was gone.

"Light~C'mon" Ryuk called to him from the ceiling. Light walked around his room- when he was sure everything was still in place he tossed the apple to Ryuk who accepted it whole heartedly.

"So Light-what do you wanna do?" Ryuk asks.

"Well I've gotta study-"

"No. You don' t need to."

"I need to do those assignments for-"

"Why do you accept money for doing homework? Your parents are actually quite well off." Ryuk says. Light smiles and says, "Why do people need money anyways?"

Ryuk stares at him oddly. Light shakes his head and moves to the closet to change out of his clothes. The shinagami sat on the bad looking at Light strangely. This was odd behavior for Light. He rarely smiled and it was at Ryuk none the less. Light ignored the stares as he changed into jeans and t-shirt he picked out. Again Light was definatley acting stange-even his clothes were different from what he usually wore. Even weirder was the way he packed a pair of clothes he usually wore into a small backback and headed downstairs.

"Ryuk-I have a small request of you." Light says waiting for Ryuk to respond. Ryuk nods. "I need you to stay here while I'm out-or at least I need you to go anywhere but where I'm going to be,"

Okay, this was by far the oddest part of Light's behavior. Ryuk nodded again. Light smiled and put on a pair of sneakers and grabbed a dark colored hoodie before ducking out of the house, hoping the neighbors wouldn't notice his getup.

Meanwhile outside the house sat a black the car not to far away. In it a man's voice could be heard, "This is agent Raye Penber-first night of Kira investigation stake out-the suspect is Light Yagami. He seems to be going against his normal routine and is presumable sneaking out. I'm going to follow him to confirm his whereabouts." Then he placed the recorder into the glove compartment as he drove after the teenager/
