The Yagami household was one of the wealthiest in Japan. The Yagami's even had a mansion somewhere in England that they visited every other summer. Yes, there was so much to say about the Yagami's. Soichiro was a skilled business man, who had gained his fortune through entrepreneurship and his wife , Sachiko, was a pleasant woman who tended the house and children. There were two children, the first was a boy name Light. He was such a clever youth, athletic and handsome. Indeed, the Yagami's oldest child certainly had a wide variety of options for his future. He was fifteen years old and in his first year of high school, but had already obtained a scholarship to an upstanding college for his demonstrated 'tennis' skills.

Light also had the highest grade point average in his district, the boy was pretty much a genius! Of course, if the boy didn't choose athletics or his intelligence then he could always fall back on his fathers business.

Ah! The Yagami's second born was a girl named Sayu, who was twelve years old. She was a very amiable child and beautiful too, but there wasn't much else to her.

It was an early morning on the first day of summer in Light's fifteenth year , but even though the weather was quite nice Light found himself cursing the day. It was another one of those family vacations to that mansion in England. Light just loathed the inconvenience the trip caused him every other year. Of course, he never outwardly displayed his displeasure. Light looked at his family, everyone was smiling especially Sayu who looked almost crazed with her giddy, excited smile.

The plane ride would be a quick trip in his father's personal jet, but Raito couldn't stand the service. It wasn't that it was slow or anything of the sort. No, what plagued the handsome youth was all the saturatedly sweet smiles and hungry looks he got from all the female flight attendants. It seemed as if at any moment they would all jump him and feast in vulgar ways he daren't even imagine. On one occasion one of the woman had been so bold as to accidentally brush her fingers against his hand when she gave him a cup of tea. Light had automatically flinched from the sudden contact and when he looked up to notice the heated stare the woman was giving him he felt his skin crawling. Oh, gods why hadn't his parents permitted him to put a bag over his glorious face the entire ride.

The teen sunk into his chair and avoided having any further needs attended too. He wanted to reach the mansion and go straight to one specific room: the library.

Of course, the moment his mother and father got off the plane they banished him from going there on the first day.

" Light, you should take your sister for a stroll around town. You always stay cooped up in that library when we come here. Well, not today, son." Soichiro Yagami instructed.

" Yay! Light, lets go the park." Sayu cheered.

Light hung his head low and did as his father commanded, after all he was the 'perfect' son.

" All right, let go to the park, Sayu." he mumbled as he received a pleased nod from his father and a smile from his mom.

" Yay!" Sayu exclaimed as the two Yagami children set off down a paved road lined with tall lovely trees.

As they reached the park Light looked around anxiously. There was nothing overly amusing about such a place. Nope, it was pretty much the same as all the parks back in Japan. Nonetheless, Sayu was bouncing about quite happily,

" Onii-san, lets go play on the teeter-totter and the merry-go-round." she squealed .

" Sayu, lets settle for the merry-go-round, for now." Light sighed. There was no-way he was going to bounce up and down with his little sister on a teeter-totter. How humiliating and degrading, he was fifteen years old after all!

" Okay."

Thus, the two Yagami children proceeded toward the big red circular device . Sayu hopped on it and Light began to spin his sister round and round, faster and faster. His sibling screamed excitedly and Light continued his spinning of the device. As he continued his measly task of keeping his little sister occupied he glanced about the park and further inspected the place. It really wasn't so spectacular. It had a sandbox, a teeter-totter, a merry-go-round, a jungle gym, lots of benches ,sidewalk lined with eye-catching fauna and a swing set. All of which were unoccupied except for one. In the farthest swing to the right sat a strange looking boy, with abnormally pale flesh, jet black feathery-hair that hung in soft tendrils about his face and was spiked absurdly in the back and on top. The boy also had a pair of large, glassy onyx eyes that peered distraughtly at his bare-feet as he remained almost immobile on the swing. Light paused in his spinning of the merry-go-round and he watched the odd child. The boy sat so sadly by himself and there were plenty of other children around for him to play with, yet the boy stayed to himself.

" Onii-san, I think I might barf." Sayu said as she stumbled dizzily off the merry-go-round.

" Hey, Sayu, you think you might want to go play with that little boy over there. He looks so lonely." Light commented, with a smile curving devilishly behind his lips. This was his chance, if he could get Sayu to play with that sad looking boy then she would leave him be so he could go back to the mansion. He would be free from bother.

" Him?" Sayu scoffed and Light cut his eyes at her.

" Onni-san, he's too weird, I don't want to even talk to him." she explained.

" That's very unkind, Sayu." Light replied.

" I'm sorry, Onni-san, I just can't. He's kind of scary." Sayu remarked. Light glanced at the boy, he wasn't frightful maybe disheartening, but definitely not 'scary'.

" Oh, all right. Then I will play with him." Light sighed. Sayu eyed her brother fearfully and then turned her back to him.

" If, Onii-san , wants to then he may, but I'm going home." she responded slightly callously before she headed back in the direction they had come from.

Light stood there eyeing the boy in a daze for a moment. Sayu had left him alone. Now he could really do whatever he truly wished. He was completely free from bother…or so he thought. Yet, as he turned to leave the park and the strange little boy he felt a nagging sensation in the back of his mind. So, his curiosity got the best of his and approached the odd child.

" Hi" Light said as he walked up to the boy and looked down at him. The boy who had still been staring stormily at his own feet, looked up from his place on the swing.

" Hi." he commented uncertainly.

" Why are you sitting here all by your self?" Light asked.

" Well, everyone says I'm weird and so no-one wants to play with me." the boy commented hurtly and his shimmering black orbs disappeared behind his ebony locks.

" I'll play with you." Light commented.

The boy stared at him, almost calculatingly for a moment. Light was amazed with the seriousness the child's eyes held.

" They'll call you names, if you do." the kid added indifferently.

" So? Do you need a push?" Light asked blowing off the cold statement as he pointed to the swing the child was situated on.

" Maybe, just one." the boy answered. Then Light moved behind the dark-haired kid and placed his hands on the small back and pushed. The swing brushed forward and rose a bit higher in the air and then came back toward Light. The teen pushed again an the swing wafted even higher. Rather soon the child began to laugh excitedly as Light continued to push him in the swing. As the hours progressed the day moved swiftly and the teenager Light played happily with the young boy. They built sand castles in the sandbox and slid together down the slide. Light spun him on the merry-go-round and because the child looked so sad when Light refused he actually agreed to ride the teeter-totter with him. Something, that Light truly marveled at about the boy was his alert manner. When they started to play hide and seek, the child always found him. It was like the boy had attached some-kind of radar detecting equipment to him or something. Light would even hide in places he was certain the kid would never find him, but the little raven always managed to prove Light's assumptions wrong.

At the end of the day Light got ready to leave and the little boy clung to him rather tightly.

" Will you come play again?" he asked. Light smiled warmly and ran his fingers soothingly through the child's hair.

" Of course." he mumbled.

The child let go and ran off into the distance and Light returned home to his families mansion. As the next morning dawned Light fumbled into the family library and curled up in a lounge chair to read an interesting play called Julius Caesar by a man named William Shakespeare. As the days proceeded and summer drew to a close Light continued to harbor himself in the numerous volumes of the book-shelves and never once thought of his little play-mate from that one day.

Of course, the poor, sad little boy never once forgot the older-boy that had showed him a little bit of time and attention. In fact, the small child went to that play-ground and sat in the exact same swing every morning for a year, but not once did his play-mate return.
