College is supposed to be for relieving the stress from high school for something more mature. So, why am I the only girl in Japan with stress from high school? Light graduated top of his class and #1 in the country, but that was obvious to anyone who's seen him. Ever since graduation, Light and I still for some reason haven't had enough time to spend together. He's always too busy for me, but never too busy to deal with his Kira business. however, I would never bring this to his attention. He'd probably just tell me I was being ridiculous. I mean, I've made a few friends so far, in fact, I was hanging out with one now in the cafe. Sometimes I have to get away from the whole Light/ Kira business.

I laughed with my friend Miki as we chatted together.

My phone began to ring and I excused myself from the conversation. I looked at the collar ID and noticed it was Light.

I answered, "Light, hi! I've missed you!"

"Hey, beautiful!" He replied and chuckled. "Hey, come to the tennis court right now, okay. I think it might interest you."

I didn't question him. "Okay, Light. I'm on my way with Miki, okay?"

"Okay, see you soon."

I kissed him through the phone and he groaned a little, but I heard the smile on his face. He laughed a bit.

"See you later, Kire," he said and hung up.

Miki and I made our way to the tennis court upon Light's request. Once we stood behind the fence, I immediately recognized my boyfriend. He looked so cute in his shorts. I smiled and waved to him, he looked a bit embarrassed but waved back to me. I blew him a kiss good luck and he winked my way.

"You two are so gross," Miki groaned.

I simply smiled and shrugged as I turned my attention back to Light. I noticed another guy, who was a little older than Light, but not by much, standing on the opposite side of the net. Typical Light, always one up for a little competition with anyone. However, who he was competing against is what caught my eye. He had this long, un-brushed, dark hair that I for some reason found attractive. He looked a bit sloppy, but there was something about him that I found comforting and calm. Once the guy noticed Light looking my way, he turned around towards me as well. I then got a better look at his face. I didn't realize it, but we were staring pretty intently at one another for quite some time.

He looked so familiar to me.

I felt a nudge on my side and turned towards Miki. She smirked and me and pulled her glasses down the bridge of her nose, knowingly. I rolled my eyes and giggled, shoving her gently.

"Shut up," I mouthed to her and she smirked and shrugged, turning her attention back to the upcoming match.

I then noticed the guy still had not stopped looking my direction. I gave him a slight wave, not to gain Light's attention, and he waved back with stiff fingers. It was kind of adorable. Miki and I couldn't help but giggle at his actions.

Soon enough, their tennis match began. I was beginning to worry about the dark haired guy, seeing as how people were chattering about how he was an amateur when I know Light is far from that title.

The match went on longer than anyone had suspected. I was beginning to grow bored of watching, but the dark haired one was so persistent and keen on winning, or at least giving Light a fair match. I've never seen Light actually having to try and work so hard to beat someone. Seems like he's finally met his match. I cheered for my boyfriend, naturally, but couldn't help but to be impressed by the other guy as well. He was amazing! It was as if he were an older, sloppier, yet somehow slightly-improved Light Yagami. The intellectual resemblance was amazing. Eventually, the match was over and, as I suspected, Light won. I cheered loudest for him.

"Game and set! Won by Light Yagami!"

Once the ref called it, I ran out on the field and jumped into my boyfriend's arms.

"Light, that was amazing, darling!" I exclaimed and giggled as he snuggled his nose into my neck.

He knew what that does to me.

"Yeah, thanks for cheering me on," he said and leaned back to kiss my lips gently.

I sighed a little and melted myself into his arms. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling someone else's eyes on me. I looked and saw the boy who challenged Light, who was standing near us, and gasped. I gently pushed Light away and wiped my mouth.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Light chuckled awkwardly. "Hideki Ryuga, this is my girlfriend, Kireina Rozu."

The boy nodded at me. "Pleasure," He said.

I gasped as the realization hit me. "Oh, I remember you. You were top of the class along with Light!" I exclaimed, feeling relieved I could figure it out. I only remembered after hearing his name because he had the same name as that celebrity everyone loved.

He simply nodded. "Yes, and I remember you, Kireina Rozu. Hopefully, it is not too late to state my opinion, but you looked absolutely beautiful at the Freshman entrance ceremony. You sure know how to impress," He complimented me.

Slowly, I felt a heat emerge on my face. I looked down and twirled my hair. "Oh, uhm... thank you. That's very sweet," I accepted his compliment.

"Ahem!"

We both snapped our heads towards Light, who was slightly glaring at Hideki Ryuga. "Yes, well, we have plans, so we should get going. Hopefully, I'll see you later?" he asked me and placed some hair behind my ear.

He's ditching me again? I thought, annoyed.

I sighed but forced a sad smile. "Yes, hopefully," I said.

Light and I leaned in and gave each other a long, slow kiss good-bye.

He pulled away before I did and smiled. "I'll see you later, okay?" he said and touched my hand.

I nodded my head. "Okay, bye, Light." I waved to him and then smiled at Hideki Ryuga. "Good-bye, Hideki Ryuga!" I told him as he walked off with light.

"Good-bye, Kireina Rozu," he waved back as he and Light walked away from me.

I noticed Ryuga turn his head slightly towards me and send me the tiniest smile my way. I felt a slight blush come on once more, but smiled back and waved one last time. I was secretly hoping I would run into Hideki Ryuga again.

A few nights later I was studying in my bedroom, trying my hardest to ignore the loud moans coming from my father's bedroom. The noises obviously belonged to him and his ex-girlfriend/current one-night-stand. I haven't seen Light in a few days. He'll call me every once in a while to talk on the phone, we don't really have any classes together in school, but really I haven't seen much of him. I was beginning to worry about him.

Ring! Ring!

I gasped as my phone suddenly rang. I picked up my phone, without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Kire, come over right now!" Light demanded.

I gasped and stood up quickly from my desk. I grabbed my purse and everything and rushed out of my bedroom. "I'm coming, Light!"

I made it as fast as I could to Light's home. I rapidly knocked on the door and almost immediately, Light opened the door and pulled me inside and quickly led me to his room. He slammed me down on his bed and I watched him pace around his bedroom. Ryuk floated in the corner, chuckling like usual, amused by Light's nervous behavior.

I, however, found it extremely out of character for him.

"Light, I haven't seen you in weeks! What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" He exclaimed, catching me off guard. "Have you even been paying attention to the world?" He snapped and turned his television on.

The announcer began to speak, "If Kira doesn't yet know your name, it may not be too late for you, provided you are willing to cooperate. Whatever you do, you must not approach Kira out of curiosity, make no mistake, Kira will kill you if you contact him. You'll be used and disposed of. Consider your own life for a moment, yours, like every other, has and intrinsic value. Now is your chance to right past wrongs by sharing what you know about Kira. Only you can help us bring his reign of terror to an end."

I exhaled and shook my head. "Wow," I breathed.

"Apparently there's some idiot out there, posing to be Kira. I've been working under L, lately and I-"

I interrupted, "You've been working under L?!"

"Yes, along with my father, and I-"

I stopped him once again, "Your father's on the case, too?!"

"Yes, please, Kire, shut up and listen to me!" He snapped. I stared at him for a moment and whimpered, not appreciating his tone with me lately. I slowly shut my mouth and allowed him to finish. "They've already discovered this wasn't my doing. They know there's another Kira. Now, I have to find out who this idiot is and put a stop to him before he ruins everything I-" Light stopped mid-sentence and glanced at me before turning away again. "I-I mean we've worked hard to accomplish!" He retorted.

I bit my lip and nodded my head, now feeling caught up. "Do you have any clue who he might be?" I asked Light, standing up and rubbing his shoulders supportably and comfortingly.

Light let out a long sigh and plopped down on his chair. I continued to stand behind him as he sat and rubbed his shoulders, up and down.

"I wish! I0I've been so stressed lately, Kire," he sighed and I nodded, understanding. "God, am I glad I have you on my side. I told you about my plan, originally, because I knew I could trust you. You're the only one I can trust, Kire." Light said and stood up, facing me.

I smiled and shrugged in response.

"I know we haven't spent as much time together lately, but I swear, it's only because I've been balancing school, being Kira, and being a part of the Kira case as well, now. The case is just an extra weight to have on my shoulders. I know I should've told you that I met L and that I'm working on this case with my father, but... you know there's so much to do and-"

I interrupted him, "I know, Light. I just have one question."

"Hmm? What's that?"

I rubbed my arm awkwardly. "W-why haven't you asked for my help lately?" I asked.

Light sighed and looked towards the ground. "I knew you would ask me this sooner or later," He told me. "Honestly... I don't want you too into this, Kire. I just want you here, by my side, supporting me, and sharing the glory with me when it's all over. That's the whole reason why I told you instead of leaving you in the dark. You understand, right? I just don't want you getting hurt."

A sigh escaped my lips, somewhat pleased with his answer, yet still not satisfied. I understood what he meant, really: He does want me to be there for him through thick and thin, but most of all, he doesn't think I can handle it. He doesn't want me screwing things up.

"Please understand. I need you here, safe, with me. The only way to do that is to make sure you're not participating as much. I love you too much to see you get hurt or put in jail because of me," Light said and pressed his forehead against mine.

A small smile came upon my face and I giggled a bit. I knew he was trying to protect me... I guess that's okay.

I leaned up and pressed my lips to his. Light slowly snaked his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, holding him close as we kissed. Light pressed my back on his bed and hovered over my body, not breaking our deep kiss. We both heard Ryuk groan from across the room so Light took one of his arms off of my waist, grabbed a pillow and threw it in Ryuk's direction, without breaking our kiss. I moaned slightly as Light broke our kiss and pressed his lips to my neck. He knows how much I love that. I reached down and played with the belt on his pants and unbuckled it for him. Light then reached with one of his hands and cupped my breast, causing me to moan louder and he simultaneously kissed my neck roughly.

"Damn, I love you so much, Kire," he moaned against my neck, causing me to shiver. "You're the only," he paused to lean up and kiss my lips, "one," he kissed me again, "I," He kissed me again, "can trust."

"Mmm, I love you too, Light," I moaned and began to stroke the bulge in his pants, causing Light to let out a noise of satisfaction. Light suddenly stopped for a moment and looked down at me. "Light, what's wrong?" I asked him, concerned.

He sighed. "Kire... I know I promised I would never... insist on us doing this... But, uh..." he trailed off and chuckled.

Once again, I couldn't help but to smile to myself, knowing I am the only girl who can make Light Yagami speechless.

"It's just... if you're ready... then... maybe... we could... you know..." he tried his hardest to say what I knew he meant.

I chuckled a little and pretended to think. I knew I wanted to go further with Light for a long time. I just was not sure how I was able to bring it up with him without making things too awkward. I smiled and bit my lip as I nodded my head quickly.

"Yes?" Light chuckled.

I smiled and nodded my head again.

Light laughed and picked my upper body up, wrapping both arms around me as we kissed again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we held each other tightly as if we couldn't let go and refused to do so anyway. I soon took off Light's jacket and he went to unbutton my jeans. I got comfortable as Light once again attempted to fulfill my wishes. Just as he went to pull down my jeans, a person from downstairs interrupted us.

"Light!"

We both immediately gasped and rushed to make ourselves presentable again.

I followed Light downstairs and he was greeted at the door by someone who I did not think was the kind of person Light would even associate with. I found my breath getting harsh and shallow as we approached the girl standing outside his front door. Light grabbed my hand and led me outside, closing the door behind us so that his mother and sister wouldn't hear.

"Hello," She said to Light and then glanced at me. "Uh, I was hoping we could talk in private."

I narrowed my eyes on her and Light squeezed my hand.

"Whatever you can say to me, you can say around her... whoever you are," Light said.

The girl stared at him and I smiled at the side of Light's face. I can't say that I wasn't relieved to find out he doesn't really know this girl. Although, she does seem familiar to me. I just can't put my finger on it.

"Light, it's okay. Hopefully, I'll see you later?" I asked him.

He looked at me for a moment, as if debating but then nodded his head. "Hopefully," he said.

We both leaned in and pecked one another on the lips slowly. I didn't mind if the girl watched, however. Once we pulled away, I ignored the girl's glare on me and continued walking home.

Who is she and what does she want with my Light? I thought to myself, knowing it was simply the jealousy talking.
