I woke up early one morning, Beyond's voice still ringing in my head from a while ago. I took a quick shower, changed into a red shirt and jeans, then brushed and braided my long silver hair.

While sitting on my bed texting Akari (who was literally across the street), a heard a knock at my door. Dad had already left for work so maybe he'd forgotten something and accidentally locked himself out.

I hurried downstairs and opened the door. Light. Ugh. How am I supposed to stay away from him when he comes to my house? He was wearing a white shirt and red tie.

"Hey Yuki. Need a ride to school?" he asked me. I shrugged.

"I usually walk…"

Light's eyes lowered a bit with disappointment. "Oh, I see. Well, in that case, we won't take up much of your time." We? It took me a moment to realize that someone was standing behind him on my doorstep. I looked briefly above his head. Soichiro Yagami.

The older man came forward and held out his hand. "I'm Soichiro Yagami, Light and Sayu's father." I shook his firm hand. "I just wanted to stop by and meet the new sitter Sayu enjoys having over." Kids; they attach to someone way too easily.

I looked between Light and his father, knowing it would be rude to evade this. "Um, you know what? I think I'll take that ride."

Light perked up, smirking. "All right. Let's go then." Mr. Yagami and Light led me to the car. Light, being the somewhat charming genleman his is, opened the door for me.

Inside the car hung an awkward silence for the first couple minutes. I hummed quietly as the time passed, but the silence became too unbearable. "So, Mr. Yagami, you're Chief of the NPA, right?"

Light's father smiled proudly. "Yes I am. Although I enjoy the job overall, it has been keeping me away from my family lately."

"Yeah, Kira's a big threat." I studied the old man while he drove and I talked. I decided to linger closer to the mystery I've been wondering. "So, I hear L's been working on the case as well."

Mr. Yagami's face grew serious and he slightly tensed. "Where have you heard so?"

I shrugged, leaning against the door. "Too many places." I gave a quick laugh. "Wouldn't it be something if he was working with the Japanese Police…?"

Mr. Yagami chuckled, shaking his head. "You are very curious I see. Well, that's one thing you and my daughter have in common," he said, trying to draw away from the subject.

Light leaned forward and went through something on the floor. Turning around in the seat, he handed me a check. "Thought you might want this. You earned it." The first night I babysat Sayu I refused the money. I'd babysat a couple more times, but never bothered to remind the Yagami's of my first night's payment. I guess Light is more of a gentleman than I thought.

I thanked him and slipped the payment in my pocket. Now we were only five minutes from my college. Mr. Yagami glanced at me through the rearview mirror. "Would you mind if we called you sometime in the next few days? I know the wife's sister wants to take her on a shopping trip soon, so we'll probably be needing you."

I beamed, happy at the chance to hang out with the girl. "Yeah, I don't mind. I'd love it." As Mr. Yagami rolled to a stop, I grabbed my backpack and got out. "Just give me a heads up before so I know if I'm free." I looked at Light and smiled. "Thanks for the ride!"

At my locker, Akari was waiting with an impatient and bored look on her face. "Where the heck have you been? I thought you were gonna come early so we could grab coffee in the teacher's lounge?" By "grab coffee" she meant "sneak into the teacher's lounge and make coffee while they're in a meeting."

Opening my locker, I hung up my blue backpack. "Uh, I got a ride."

Snorting, she folded her arms as I hung up my coat. "Who?"

Biting my lip, I looked down at the floor of my locker. "Light Yagami." Facepalming, she groaned. "I know, I know, I shouldn't have. But his father was there!"

"So?"

"I'm babysitting his daughter, remember?"

"Oh yeah. I guess you need to make a good impression." Opening her eyes, her purple orbs locked with my red orbs. "Just don't do it again. You heard what Beyond said."

"Speaking of the killer, do you think he'll actually get out?" Flipping her red hair, she leaned against the lockers.

"I wouldn't put it past him," she replied coolly.

We then hurried to our first class. The morning went by fast, but every class after that went by extremely slow. Usually it's the other way around, but today was weird.

Not only did Light show up at my doorstep that morning, but other weird things happened. In my first class, the teacher didn't show up so the principal had to fill in, even though the teacher's mug (with fresh coffee in it) and all his belongings were on his desk.

At lunch, the food actually tasted like it was made in a five star restaurant, but my milk had a dead mouse in it (eww) and my tray suddenly cracked in the middle of eating my sandwich.

In my second to last class, a bird hit the classroom window and spots of blood remained as it fell to the ground. Oh no, not just any bird, but a seagull. Like, why the frick is there a seagull in the middle of Tokyo? Then, I SWEAR I saw the "missing" teacher walk past the classroom with the seagull on his SHOULDER.

And to top it all off, we didn't have ANY homework.

When my math Professor dismissed us at the end of the day, I rushed to my locker to find Akari already there, leaning against it casually. "Please tell me you're not an alien."

Furrowing her brows, she crossed her arms. "Why, do I look like one?"

"No," I quickly replied, opening my locker. "It's just… today's been really weird and I… never mind." She hesitated, but shrugged it away.

We got our stuff and left the building into the chilly weather. As we approached my house, Akari stopped. I looked back at her and frowned. "It's alright, he'll be under control."

Giving me a quick nod, she continued walking. At my house, Dad was sitting at the table, reading the newspaper. When we walked in, he looked up and smiled. "Afternoon girls. How was college?"

"It was good," Akari replied, returning the smile as she slid off her shoes. "And good afternoon to you too Mr. Miyoshi."

I huffed as I pulled off my black boots. "My day was really weird. I'm not gonna go into detail, but it involved a seagull." Dad and Akari laughed. "We're gonna go up to my room."

"Okay, have fun." Dad smiled at us, then returned to his paper. I felt Akari sigh with relief as we jogged up the stairs. We dropped our bags on the floor as I shut my door.

It'd been about a week since we last talked to Beyond. I was a little on edge, but Akari couldn't wait til his return, whenever that was. I got this weird feeling when I thought about it. Sitting on the edge of my bed with my legs hanging off, I sighed. "What do you wanna do?"

My best friend shrugged. "Well, our lives are too boring to start a YouTube channel." I rolled my eyes, laid on my back, and continued to listen to Akari. "We can't be too reckless because you're babysitting the daughter of a police chief. Ugh, there's nothing fun to do!" Akari whined, sliding out of the chair and sulking on the floor.

"Stop whining," I replied sternly, but tempted to do the same. She moved to get up, but completely froze because she spotted something under my bed that caused her to gape. "What?" I asked, sitting up. Flipping onto my stomach, I leaned over the side of the bed and peered under the bed.

"Surprise!" shouted a voice, then a face to pop out at me along with it. I screamed and somersaulted off the bed and onto the floor, landing with a thump. Beyond began laughing while still under the bed. Akari joined him. "You s-should've seen your face! Priceless!"

Narrowing my eyes in annoyance, I remained on the floor and crossed my arms. "How did you get in my house? It was locked."

Beyond smirked, scooting out from under my bed. "Your dad let me in."

"Da-ad!" I yelled. With a huff, I sprung up off the floor. After a moment, there was a knock at my door. "Come in," I said through gritted teeth. Dad stuck his head into the room, face red with laughter. Grunting, I glared. With a laugh, he shut the door.

After a couple minutes, I cooled down and welcomed Beyond. Akari and I gave him hugs, then he got down to business. "Light Yagami?" He gave me the stern eyes. "Have you been staying away from him?"

Twiddling my hands, I looked at the floor. Akari cut in before I could answer. "Nope, not one bit. Now she's even getting rides from him!" Beyond folded his arms.

"It's not my fault!" I argued. "I'm babysitting his little sister!"

Rolling his eyes, Beyond perched on my bed. I sat beside him and Akari in her (my) usual rolling chair. "I suppose you have some sort of plan," wondered Akari, looking at Beyond. He nodded.

"Of course I do; I always do."

"All right, let's hear it."

"Okay, first we need gasoline, toilet paper, and matches/a lighter so-"

"No." I cut him off. "I won't have arson on my record. Especially when it involves a serial killer. Heck no."

Beyond thought for a moment. "Okay, this one involves a blindfold, knives, and your dad."

"Not funny B," I muttered, ending my sentence with a growl.

He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Just kidding. Okay, last one and this one is serious. We'll need a camera, smoke bomb, and candy."

"What, you wanna take pictures of kids, lure them into your van with candy, kidnap them, and disappear into the smoke of the smoke bomb? Pervert!" Akari exclaimed.

Beyond's face grew red. "That's way out of context and you know it." He smirked. "What were you thinking of?"

"I was thinking of using the lighter to burn your a-"

"HEY!" The two bickering couple silenced and lowered their heads. "Can we please act like adults? Now, Beyond, do you have any serious thoughts?" I asked him.

"That was one." I tilted my head in confusion. Candy? Smoke bomb? Camera? What the crap? "I'm being totally serious. I just need those three things, then I can show you. Trust me, it's not completely illegal." Completely?

"Fine." Akari stood up, and I gave her the Are you serious? look as if she was crazy. We're talking about helping a serial killer here. And why the heck would he need a smoke bomb? At least he didn't ask for a knife.

"Whatever!" I said, throwing my hands up in the air with surrender. "I'll help. Like my day could get any weirder. I mean, my dad let a serial killer into the house willingly so I don't think I have anything else to lose." Except my job, but I'm not too worried about that. I don't completely love it.

Akari and I moved to the door to leave and get Beyond's mysterious replies when he cleared his throat behind us. "There's one more thing I need."

We rolled our heads over our shoulders to look at the smirking killer. "What now?"

"I need some jam."

Omg... Thanks to all the people following this story. I honestly think I wouldn't get that much in only 2 chapters. Glad you like it and I hope to not let you down! If you don't like it... Oh well. It's my story. BUT I'll try to make it mysterious and interesting. XD BYE
