I opened my eyes. I think I got hit. Light...that bastard. I know he's Kira... just know it..... Sucks there's nothing to do about it though.

Lately I've been pretty lonely. It's hard waking up from a hangover, and realizing, and saying to yourself, "No one was here for me. No one wanted to tuck me in bed. No one wanted to stay with me..." I sat up for a moment thinking about nothing. I decided to get up and get me sum cookies.....at 6:00 in the morning.

I really do have no life.

I started thinking about m childhood. It was just as lonely as my life now. I lay down thinking. "Is it the way I sit? I mean, it's not like I WANT to sit like this...I just can't sit any other way...." I sat up again and looked angrily at the cookies. "Hmph....Stupid job...stupid, stupid everything." There was a knock on the door. "What? It's like, 6:00!" I walked up to get the door and brushed the cookie crumbs. Some chocolate was on my finger, so I put my finger in my mouth and sucked it off. I opened the door. A girl a few years younger than me stood at the door. She looked up at me. "Is this the residence of Ryu-" She stopped in mid-sentence. She blushed a little. She quickly looked down. "Ryuuzaki Ryuga.....?" I smelled something reallllly sweet....I hadn't smelled it before. Was it the girl? I leaned over and sniffed her a little. I guess I got too close, because she tensed up, and I could hear her hear pound. I moved back and took my finger out of my mouth. "Yes. It is. May I ask who you are?" The girl stopped blushing. She seemed more relaxed. "I am Mizu Yamino....Um....do you mind if I come in to talk to you about something.....?" I raised an eyebrow. "What for?" I asked. She looked up at me. "Your job." My heart skipped a beat. I agreed to let her in. She walked in slowly. Like she was afraid of a boobie-trap or something. I sat down on the couch and she sat down across from me. "Um...You work as a private investigator....don't you?" I had to nod. She looked down. "I want to help you.....Light....he's not fair...." I smiled. "That's very nice of you. We can go to headquarters now if you want. We'll have to evaluate you, and run a few tests, but if you pass those you're good to go..." I just had to say that.......this feeling I had all of a sudden.....What made me feel it?

Her.

Her....

Mizu....

Mizu stood up and smiled. "Good. I can't wait to start." I smiled back.

I was smiling....?

I bit my lip and thought for a second. "Ja, let's go." Mizu smiled, and said "okay." I couldn't help but smile! Someone actually wanted to be with me? I opened the door for her. "Have you eaten yet?" Mizu looked at me and smiled. "No...I haven't.....I didn't know we were going directly there....I'm sorry..." I closed the door behind me. "It's alright. All I ate was a few cookies, so I'm hungry too." Mizu raised her eyebrows. "Cookies?" I looked down. "Yeah, I'm a sugarholic." Mizu laughed a little.

And that....was the most beautiful sound I ever heard in my entire life.

We had to take a bus, considering I had no car, and she was fine with it. Her? Fine with it? Pfft. No....nobody's gonna love a guy who doesn't have a car and makes 'em ride a stupid city bus...

She got off the bus first. I followed her slowly....not really her, but I followed her smell.....It was nice....She---

did she look back at me?

she did?

Did she want to see where I was, or was she looking at me?

Well, I was right next to her pretty much....soooo....

She just wanted to look at me..........

Mizu smiled at him. "Where are we going? I'd be happy to pay for it if you don't mind....I mean, you payed for the bus already--" I looked at her. "No, no. Food is more expensive than a bus. I'll pay." Mizu blushed a little. "T...Thanks..." I felt something in my chest. No, no, no. I can't fall for someone right now.

I was falling....

fast....

really fast......

Mizu looked up at me. "Um.....Ryuuzaki-san.....why are we....at a pastry shop?" I looked up. "Oh! Oh we are aren't we...?" She looked at it. "I've never been here. What's the food like? Is it good?" I looked down at her. "Yeah. I come here all the time....."

My heart beat really fast....

all of a sudden.....

I just wanted to hug her.

All of a sudden......

I just wanted to kiss her.

I blinked. "uuuhhuh huh.....how about we go in now?" Mizu smiled. "okay! I've never had pastries for breakfast.....do you do this often Ryuuzaki-san?" I smiled. "Yes...actually I do....I eat lots of sweets......It's a little weird I know but I--" Mizu smiled. "You're not weird...Ryuuzaki-san. I joined the investivagation because of you. You're fighting for a good cause, Ryuuzaki-saaannnn." She was adorable. She was serious when she needed to be, and she was also light hearted....

I wanted to love her.

I do?

I opened the door for the pastry shop for her. She walked in slowly. "Nervous?" I asked. She looked at me and blushed. Now THAT made my heart skip a beat and beat against my chest. "I'm not...I don't know exactly...I've never been here before. Is all." She looked down. I smiled. "So you can come to my house and ask for a job, but you can walk into a pastry shop for breakfast?" I sat down in a seat.........

Like how I usually sit.

Mizu smiled and sat down across from me. She looked at me and asked, "Do you always sit like that....?" Thank God.... she asked it like a question...not an insult. I looked down. "Y.....Yeah. I do." Mizu smiled. "Okay." I looked in her eyes.....

I looked at my pants. "Oh shit." I mumbled. Mizu looked at me. "Hm?" I looked up at her. "N...Nothing!"
