I squinted as my blindfold was carefully pulled off. Blinking rapidly, I stared at the man who was unstrapping me from the chair. Quillish Wammy. "Thank you," I said once he was finished.

The old man smiled. As he did, wrinkles formed on his forehead. "You're welcome, my dear."

I followed him out of the room, then up some stairs and through a few corridors. We then reached the top level of the building we were in and stopped outside a large room.

"Are they in there?" I asked him. He nodded, then gestured for me to go in. Taking a deep breath, I opened the doors and walked through.

"YUKI!" A trio of voices greeted me the moment I came in. Akari, Beyond, and Dad wrapped their arms around me in a giant hug.

"Get off me!" I yelled, then squeezed out of their suffocating hold. I looked at Dad and blushed with shame. "Are you mad?"

Shrugging, he sighed. "I guess we all hit a rebel stage when we're young." After a quick hug, I apologized.

"Yukimi Miyoshi…" That voice. The one from the altered speakers. I could hear him much clearly now. I looked around the room until I saw him sitting in a chair facing away from us.

"Y-Yes? Are you L?" I looked at Beyond, who nodded. Realizing that I was shaking a little, I took a deep breath and gathered up all my arrogance and confidence. "I'm guessing we have a deal?"

"Please… Come with me." He stood up, but still didn't turn around. Instead he walked away down the hall, so I quickly followed him. He stopped in front of the door at the end of the hall and walked in.

As asked, I followed, then closed the door behind me. He stood in the middle of the room, silent for a moment, then turned around. I looked directly above his head for a split second to see his name appear again. L Lawliet.

"It is you…" I whispered. His face remained neutral. As he perched in a nearby chair, he gestured me to sit in the one across from him, so I did.

This time I got a closer look at him. His hair was black and obviously never been brushed before. I mean, it didn't look too bad but his hair was spiky and all over the place. I actually thought it looked good on him. The clothes he wore were plain; a white long sleeve shirt and baggy jeans. No shoes. Bags under his eyes said that he was either and insomniac or a workaholic. Or both.

"So," I began, deciding to take the upper hand, "I'm assuming no charges will be pressed against my friends and I?" Silence. "My knowledge could be a valuable asset to anyone wishing to know your name." Still silence. He just stared at me. "Hey, did you get the pocky yet?"

A small sigh escaped from his mouth. "Your requests are still pending."

I frowned. "What does that mean?"

"It means that I am still considering what actions I should take."

"Oh come on! What more do you need? I have your name. So does Beyond."

"Beyond has been in a previous engagement with me and has already agreed not to reveal my name." Dang it Beyond. Stupid LA.

"Well, I haven't agreed to anything." I frowned deeper. I felt like I was losing control on this situation. I hate losing control, especially when I know I can come out on top.

L just continued to examine me. From the way I talked to my body movements; he studied me. "I suppose I can offer you some deal."

Brightening up, but not showing it, I shifted. "Okay, let's hear it."

L paused for a moment before speaking. "I will personally make sure that no charges will go against you, your friends, or your father for your crimes committed." Jeez, you sneak into one secret police meeting without an invitation and now you're some sort of criminal. "In exchange, you do not reveal my true name."

I nodded, then got up to leave, but L stopped me. "I need one more thing from you Ms. Miyoshi." I froze and slowly turned around. "I would like you to continue working with the Yagami family."

I laughed bitterly. "After what just happened? I think not." Mr. Yagami wouldn't hire me back in a heartbeat.

"I have talked with Mr. Yagami. He has assured me that you are always needed to watch his daughter."

Tilting my head, I crossed my arms. "Okay, what's the catch?" There's always a catch.

L stood up and faced me, expression calm, yet fierce. "I want you to spy on Light Yagami."

I walked back out of the room with a heavy weight lifted on my shoulders. L asked- technically ordered- me to be a spy. I had to spy on Light Yagami and gather everything remotely incriminating I found. Then I had to report all that stuff to L.

At first I questioned this. "Why Light?"

He went back to perching in his chair. "He is my main, and so far only, suspect in the Kira case. I believe that he could actually be Kira."

Now, walking out of the room with L at my heels, I was confused, but the pieces did begin to come together. Could Light really be Kira? That would explain why I can't see his lifespan. But that makes it even more confusing. How does he kill? What makes him so special that his lifespan disappears?

Akari, Beyond, and Dad were waiting for us accompanied by two easily recognizable men. Soichiro Yagami. Shuichi Aizawa. I looked everyone. "It seems like we won't be going to jail!"

The three of them cheered. Beyond smirked. Aizawa gasped with anger and looked at L. "What? You're just letting them go free? That's-"

"That's L's choice, Aizawa," said Mr. Yagami. He looked at me and gave a brief nod. I returned it with a smile. "I expect to see you at our house tomorrow night. The wife is planning another visit to town and Light will probably be off with his friends."

"Alright boss," I replied with a salute. I looked back at L. He was already in a chair, perching his apparently normal position. "Thank you." His look was reply enough.

As the four of us walked out, I squinted. The sun was just setting over the horizon. "How long have we been in there?" Akari asked with a yawn.

Dad looked at his watch. "All night," he reported. Everyone groaned with weariness. We trudged back to the house and immediately fell asleep. Thank goodness it was Saturday.

We didn't sleep that long because we knew we'd have to go to bed tonight. After a good lunch and just a normal Saturday, we went to bed. The next day I had work.

I put on a blue shirt and jeans, then skipped over to the Yagami's. My first day of spying begins. Ringing the doorbell, I tapped my feet until a frantic Mrs. Yagami opened the door.

"Oh, Yuki, please come in!" She ushered me inside and quickly put on her coat. "I must be going or I'll be late. There's food in the fridge and don't forget that Sayu needs to do homework!" Then, in a flash, she was gone.

I found Sayu at the table already doing homework. Well, sort of. She was mostly watching tv. "Hey Sayu," I greeted as I took off my coat.

"Hey," she said, only averting her attention away from the screen for a second. "Guess what I'm watching."

"Let me think," I said, tapping my chin in thought as I sat down next to her. "Is it that hot actor with the blonde hair?"

"Yep!" She smiled as she finished a problem on her paper, then returned to the tv.

The whole night was filled with homework, Hideki Ryuga, and some baking. "Where's the sugar?" I asked while searching through the cupboards.

"In the top left," replied Sayu who was looking for some chocolate chips to put in the cookies. "I think."

"Found it!" I cheered, then gathered all the ingredients. We baked cookies and I made lemonade because we were both sick of water and soda. To top that all off, Sayu showed me to her secret stash of pocky and let me have some.

While we were watching tv close to her bedtime, the phone rang. "Hello?" I answered. "Yagami residence."

"Yuki," came Light's voice. Oh crap! I forgot I was spying on him. "I just wanted to call to tell you I'll be late getting home. My mom called me and told me the same thing, so do you mind staying later?"

Perfect. "Yeah, I can stay late. It's no problem."

"Okay then. Hope Sayu isn't giving you too much trouble."

"Eh, I think it's the other way around," Sayu said as she interrupted the conversation. Light and I laughed. My laugh was fake. I bet his was too. "Bye Light!"

"See you later, Sayu. Goodbye Yuki."

"Bye," I said before hanging up. I looked at Sayu just as she yawned. "Ah, that's a sign that you should go to bed." Shrugging, she must've agreed because she instantly trudged away without further orders.

After I made sure she was in bed, I snuck down the hall and up the stairs. Light's room was on top. Stealthily, I tiptoed up the steps without a creak and opened his door.

The room was clean. Clothes were hung up neatly. The bed was perfectly made. It seemed too perfect. I went to the only thing he surely had incriminating evidence on. His computer.

Clicking onto it, I realized I'd need his password to get in. I tried multiple times, including his family member names, name of the high school he was going to, and even his birthday (which I found on their calendar) but nothing worked.

Realizing that someone would be home soon, I shut it off and closed the door. Quickly I darted downstairs and into the living room. Instead of doing nothing I decided to clean up the mess Sayu and I made in the kitchen.

Since I had the water running I didn't hear the front door open. While I was washing dishes, Light came up behind me. "Hey," he said, causing me to jump a mile high. I was on edge a little since I'd snuck into his room. "Sorry I scared you."

"It's fine," I replied, turning off the water and draining the sink.

"You know we have a dishwasher, right?"

I looked down at it and mentally face palmed. "Yeah, I know. I got bored, though, and decided to do them myself."

As I wiped dry my hands, Light chuckled apologetically. "Sorry I made you wait. I had some things to take care of." Take care of?

"Stop saying sorry," I commanded. With a smile, I walked to the coat hanger and slid on my coat. "It is fine Light."

He handed me my earnings. "It's not fine. You had to stay a whole hour late. I want to make it up to you." I held in my urge to gulp. His sparkling eyes scanned me. "Can I take you to dinner sometime? Maybe this Friday?"

Holy. Crap.

What should I say? At that moment I thought of L. Not because he was cute, but because his voice was ringing in my head. I want you to spy on Light Yagami. I flashed a pleasant smile. "Okay Light. I'll have dinner with you on Friday. Pick me up at 7 p.m."

Grinning, Light gave a small laugh. His brown hair danced when he laughed. "Thank you." I said goodbye and got out of there before he could kiss me.

On the walk home, I sighed. I really didn't want to go on a date with the number one suspect in L's investigation, but I knew I had to. L practically forced me to. I knew he'd want me to, to get evidence on Light.

Overall, we don't really know Light is Kira. But if the world's greatest detective says so… I pushed that thought away. Maybe a date with Light could be just what I need to relax.

What could go wrong?
