(y/n)'s POV

I strained my eyes in the darkness, my computer was my only source for light. So, there I was, sitting in my room, in my pajamas, on my computer, going over every site I could find about Kira. I had my notepad with me, and it held notes that people must already know about. I started jotting down theories, like how Kira can kill people with their name and face registered into his brain. I then got to thinking, Kira used to kill people before and after school hours, but then he suddenly started killing even during school hours. I bit the back of my pen, a habit I made myself get into when I was thinking.

I then turned to a new page and wrote down Light's name, putting theory in parentheses. I jotted down the things that I noticed about him. The so called Death Note, the shinigami, the coldness behind his eyes, the sudden friendliness towards me. Light didn't seem like the average boy that wanted to hang out with me, which it isn't the first time a boy tried. Light was the first one that succeeded in getting my approval to hang out.

"I feel like Light could be Kira... But with these notes.. I feel like it'll be impossible to prove it. Also, that shinigami, why didn't I notice him before?" I questioned myself.

It couldn't of been the coffee.. Light couldn't have had enough time to do anything to it.
It obviously wasn't a person, unless they built mechanical wings, but then everyone would of saw him, which they didn't.
But then there's that Death Note.. I didn't touch the book, but is the Death Note somehow related to that shinigami?
Wait... That piece of paper.. That was the only time that I wasn't paying any attention to Light. There weren't any fumes coming from it, nothing on it irritated me, so... Was just touching it.. Gave me the ability to see the shinigami?

I shook my head, turned my computer off, and shoved my notepad and pen into my bag. I laid down on my bed, pieces of my (h/c) hair were in my face. I managed to blow them out of my face and went under the blankets. I then fell into a deep sleep, but it felt like someone was watching me.

Light's POV

I saw Ryuk in my room when I came back from eating dinner.

"Did you find out anything?" I asked, sitting back in my chair.

"Yes I did, but I want an apple before I spill the information." He said, pointing at his open mouth.

I threw him an apple and he caught it in his mouth like a dog.

"Ok, now tell me." I said, turning my tv on.

"Ok, this girl-"

"Hitomi Kobayashi."

"Don't interrupt me, Light. Anyways, Hitomi seems to be working on finding out who's Kira. She is already suspecting you, due to your sudden change of behavior. It seems like she just started getting into it, I think it has something to do with the fact how you used a page from the Death Note to pass notes back and forth." Ryuk said.

"I wanted to see if she would be freaked out. But now I noticed that this girl won't show emotions so easily, I knew she saw you once I started walking away. That's when you were behind me right? I felt her staring, I knew she saw you, but I didn't feel her eyes anymore after a few minutes, so I knew that she left afterwards. But I seriously thought that I would have heard her scream in fear, like any normal person would do, well I was proven wrong." I said.

"Well, I don't think this girl is THAT hard to crack open." He said, laughing afterwards.

I recognized that laugh, he laughed like this when Naomi Misora gave me her alias name. That must mean... Hitomi Kobayashi... That's an alias!!

I slammed my fists on my desk.

"Damn it! How could I not have known!" I said, angrily before calming down, "I need her to give me her real name. It won't be before long that I'll have to kill her."

"I feel bad for this girl, I guess I was right about her curiosity." Ryuk said, in reply to that I nodded.

The Next Day
Back to (y/n)'s POV

Still sitting in the same old seat, in the same old school, next to the same old person. Light was staring at me the whole time, the only times that he didn't is when the teacher called on him.

He's getting more strange... Kira... Are you really Kira, Light?

I felt him stare at me again. I looked over at him, but found something different. The same shinigami that I saw behind Light, was right beside his desk, poking his head over it and staring at me. I didn't show any emotion as I looked back and forth between the two, but on the inside I wanted to scream. I made it seem like I wasn't interested and went back to drawing, I turned to a new page and started to draw the shinigami that I saw just now. Then, at the corner of my eye, I saw him stand up, still staring at me with those eyes, which helped me to get more details.

By the time class ended, I managed to finish the drawing. I quickly gathered my things and tried to leave the classroom, only to find Light and the shinigami in front of me.

"Where are you going, Hitomi?" He asked, putting more emotion into my alias.

"Home, why?" I replied.

"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to come to my house. My family knows about me befriending a girl, also my father is coming home tonight, for the first time in a long time." Light explained.

"Yes, because of the Kira case, right?" I asked, cocking my head like an innocent child.

"Yeah. So, do you want to come?" He held out his hand.

I could feel the stares of the girls that didn't leave yet. They were probably thinking about how lucky I was to be with Light.

"Sure." I accepted as I walked passed him.

"You know that you could of waited for me instead of speed walking out of here you know." Light appeared next to me.

"Whoops, I always like to do that, that means I have more time to myself." I said.

Then I felt Light put his hand on my lower back, it felt gentle and like it wasn't there. I quickly stepped away and glared at him, but I had gotten an apologetic look in return.

"Sorry, I thought that it would be easier to guide you, instead of just walking side by side." Light apologized.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm not a child, let's just go.." I said, completely annoyed.

So, the whole time walking we were silent, unless Light told me which way to go, I was relieved when we got to Light's house. Inside of me, I felt like he's doing this because he really does want to be befriend me. But I have Light as a suspect for Kira..

Damn you, Light.. I'll play your little game if I have to...
