L: Don’t worry, she doesn’t own me.

S: No, but I do own Suki, so there!

“Oh! That’s so wonderful!” Sayu exclaimed in excitement as she fiercely hugged a shocked and spluttering Suki Uda. ”Isn’t it great?! I have a sister!” She was so very happy.

Light, too, had been surprised. Even though he knew this was bound to happen; that this was bound to come sooner or later, it was still unexpected because, well…, it was the very last thing on his mind.

His parents couldn’t help but glance at each other and threw the two teenagers suspicious looks. Sayu had been absolutely right; Light was acting weird.

But…so was Suki…

After she had regained her breath, said girl had gently patted the younger teen’s arm and shyly looked at Light from underneath her dark eyelashes; he downed what was left of the wine in his glass. That hadn’t taken long at all.

“Excuse me.” He muttered, carefully getting up and walking towards the restrooms.

Blinking, Sayu asked, “What is with him tonight?”

Clearing her throat, Suki took a small sip from her own glass.

Soichiro only half-joked. “Maybe I should find out, eh?” as he followed his son.

Sachiko just sighed and shook her head. “Suki?”

“Y-yeah?”

“You’re okay with this, aren’t you?”

With widened eyes, the timid girl reassured the other. “Of course! I was…just…”

“Surprised? Shocked?”

Suki nodded as response.

00000 00000000000

When Soichiro entered the lavatory, he found his son at the sinks with his hands resting on the counter and his head bowed. The chief of police first checked to see if there was anyone else in the spacious room before saying anything.

“Light.”

The intelligent teenager’s head jerked up and quickly turned to face his father. A moment passed until he decided to rewash his hands for the umpteenth time.

“What?”

Soichiro gave a one shouldered shrug. “You’re quite taken with her, aren’t you?”

Light’s eyes closed in annoyance. “I have no idea what you’re talking about?”

His father lightly chuckled. “You think no one’s noticed how many times you’ve stared at her?”

Light growled a groan and dried his hands. “Dad,” he went towards the door. “I’m fine.”

The elder smiled and thought out loud. “So, that’s why the boys downstairs are going crazy, having a field day?”

As soon as those words were spoken, the brunette stopped dead in his tracks, his hand holding the door open with his back facing his father.

Smirking, Soichiro moved to, er, do his business.

Light had glared at him and took a deep breath before he headed back to his seat and met Suki’s questioning emerald eyes.

“You two should dance.” Sachiko suddenly commented as though she had been thinking out loud.

The completely random and unexpected statement caught their attention and both her son and newly surrogate daughter stared at her in stunned silence.

“U-us? D-d-dance?” Suki stuttered.

Sayu giggled.

“Well, yes.” Sachiko spoke. “We are at a restaurant where people dance. There’s nothing to be concerned with.”

“But...I…don’t…know how to…dance, not really.”

“Light.” Sachiko gave her son a very meaningful look to match her commanding tone.

A guy about Sayu’s age asked her for a dance in which she enthusiastically agreed…after her father came back and took his own wife to the dance floor, leaving the two teenagers alone in a very awkward silence, of course.

Nervously wetting her red lips with a darting of her tongue, the nervous young girl unintentionally made Light’s ‘situation’ worse.

Silently cursing, he caught sight of a small group of guys who were eyeing her. One was approaching and quickly rounding the table, Light grabbed one of her tiny feminine hands and led her towards the dancing area, gritting out “I’ll teach you.”

When they had reached the area, he spun her around to face him and, more gently said. “Follow my lead.”

Gulping, she gave a little nod.

He placed his one hand on her hip (trying to desperately ignore…) and his other took her left hand while she moved her right hand to his shoulder.

“Ready?” he questioned; a bit hoarsely, when the music changed.

“No.” She shakily replied.

He ignored her simple answer and moved on the beat and just like with everything else, she caught on rather quickly, of course se still stumbled, but that was due to the fact that she still wasn’t used to high heels, they still threw her off.

By the third song, she had completely caught onto all the steps and she became much more graceful.

Stares were directed their way by everyone present; the young, the old, the middle-aged, even the other teenagers, they couldn’t help but to watch. They had even formed a small circle to observe the two.

Suki and Light were not only complimenting each other, but they looked like they belonged together… and they were so graceful that both the young and the old became…dreamy.

Suki, Light noticed, was becoming more and more comfortable, relaxed, and, even, confident. Her dress twirled every time he spun her and some of her hair had come free of their bonds to frame her delicate face and to make her look even more like an angel.

A beautiful angel.

A fallen angel.

A pure angel.

Kira’s angel.

HIS angel.

Suki was flustered and…thirsty..”Light, I’m..that is…”she looked shyly up at him from under her long lashes. “I need a drink.”

So, he twirled her off the dance floor.

When they made it back to the table, Sayu gave a cute little giggle. “Having fun, are you?”

With a blush, the addressed lifted her drink and answered with a shy little “Mmm-hmm.”

She and her dance partner quickly downed the contents of their glasses only to return to the dancing…except this time…it was Suki who had taken them to the dance floor, she had taken hold of his sleeve and…he couldn’t stop smiling.

He didn’t know why, maybe it was because they were dancing, or because she was happy or because she kept on smiling…and as a result… he had to smile with her.

It was a fast tempo, the third song since the second time they had been up there when Suki had finally stumbled again. This time, though, was different. She had lost her balance in the middle of a double spin, Light had naturally caught her, but his left hand was now on her mid-back and his right still held her hand.

She was gripping his shoulder and as he straightened them out, she was blushing crimson.

Their eyes were locked.

Her grip on his shoulder tightened when he brought her a bit closer.

“Uh-um..” was all she could say.

Light leaned down, his forehead against hers now, she could feel his trembling beneath her fingers.

“May I?” He whispered softly, hoarsely.

Suki’s body gave a shiver and she gave the shiest nod.

Light gently tilted her head upward and let his lips descend upon hers…finally.

Warmth sped through Suki. The sensation was a wonderful one.

He reshaped her lips to fit his as he moved his hands to her hair, letting it flow down, he liked it better that way.

She timidly moved her hands through his hair.

With a sudden groan, he brought her even closer as the kiss deepened.

When they pulled apart, they fought for oxygen and with a deep red on her cheeks, Suki buried her face to his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist, gently holding her a moment before Soichiro called to them.

It was time to leave…to go home…

M: Yay! They kissed! You likey?!

L: Of course-ahem-

Suki was totally embarrassed.

R: Hyuk, hyuk.

M: Um…sorry it’s been so long!! I just have writer’s anticipation, not writer’s block!

R: She lies

M: SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!
