Light Yagami yawned widely as he slumped back in his plane seat. Despite his lethargy- it was two o'clock in the morning after all- he was hugely excited. He had finally found his break. Ever since Light could remember, he'd wanted to be an actor. He'd joined every junior drama club available as a child, and it was undeniable that he was talented. He could make himself laugh or cry, transforming himself completely, until he wasn't just acting, he was living his part. He was his character. He'd got the lead in every school play without even having to audtition.
But his parents hadn't wanted him to fly off and become an actor. They didn't see it as a suitable position for a boy with his brains. Light Yagami had also always been the top of every class, smart and popular with it; he is extremely goodlooking. He had it all. But he wanted more. He didn't want to go into the police force like his father; he thought that sounded dull and messy, and everybody knew that the police force was corrupt. And so, after completing university and leaving home, he auditioned for a movie. It was called Kira-Kira, and was a romantic thriller. He'd hoped for a decent part to get his name into the movie business. But it had been better than he'd ever imagined. Last week his agent had called him, practically fainting with the news that they had decided to take a chance and sign on the 21 year old who'd only ever been an extra in movies, a background character with only a few lines, a minor character in a sitcom, and in a few adverts on the television, mainly for toothpaste and hair products. A dream come true. Light flashed his pearly white teeth in a perfect smile at his agent sitting beside him.
''Looking forward to filming, Light-san?''
''Oh yes, Aizawa. It's going to be fantastic.''
The afro-haired man beside him nodded eagerly.
''They sound really excited to have you. My family were a little disappointed that I decided to go with you, but I explained how important this is.''
Light nodded with another chiselled smile.
''My family weren't that thrilled at first, but when they saw how much I'd be making...''
Light had practically fainted himself when the sum had been proposed. He'd have enough to splurge in Banana Republic for the rest of his life.
''... and Sayu was hysterical when she heard that I'd be working with Misa Amane. Apparently she's a top model and actress, and Sayu idolises her.''
Sayu had practially shrieked his eardrums to pieces when he'd told her. Aizawa nodded.
''I know Amane's manager, Matsuda. He's a bit of a goof, but she's made him a big success, and now he drives a Porsche instead of a Ford Mondeo.''
''I'll do the exact same for you, Aizawa.'' Light promised ''So have you heard who else is going to be in this picture?''
Aizawa grinned.
''Actually yes. Mello, for one thing.''
Light looked interested. The blonde haired, leather clad heart throb had sparked a nation wide debate into his sexuality. Light's teenage sister Sayu had insisted on giving him updates on the 'Is Mello Gay?' story. She'd be even more excited if she knew he was filming with Mello as well as the 'amazing' Misa. Mello enjoyed the press when it suited him, but was rumoured to be very temperamental. Light was certainly looking forward to meeting him.
''Aaaaand...'' Aizawa said, pausing for dramatic effect ''L.''
Light's jaw dropped.
''Are you serious?''
Aizawa nodded smugly. Light grinned. L had gone under many names in the films in which he had starred: Ryuzaki and Hideki Ryuga amongst others. But he was best known as L, his most common alias. Nobody knew which, if any of this aliases was his real name. He was reclusive and extremely wealthy, and usually played dark characters. Light had always admired his acting style, and now he'd get to meet him.
''It must be a good movie. I hear that L's incredibly difficult to sign. He only goes into movies that he's interested in.'' Light's agent revealed, opening a bag of peanuts and offering Light one. Light shook his head.
''I've heard that as well. So I take it he plays the serial killer?''
Aizawa nodded.
''Naturally.''
Kira-Kira was a tale of two sets of twins, one of which was played by Light, and another he knew was to be played by Misa Amane. He supposed that Misa would be Mello's twin in the film, as they did look quite similar. They had the same blonde hair and feminine figures. Light hadn't been told yet who would play his twin. Light's character falls in love with Misa's, which outrages a fifth character, who is also in love with Misa's character.
He kills animals and leaves them in his rival's room, and then kills Light's character's twin brother in an attempt to shock him away from Misa, which almost works, but Light's character's brother appears to him whenever he writes in their shared diary, nicknamed the Death Note. His brother doesn't know who killed him, but he helps his twin to piece it together before it is too late. The serial killer leaves messages prophesing Light's character's death, sneaking into Light's character's room and writing it in the Death Note. He makes other remarks that terrify Light's character as only a close friend could possibly know it. It transpires that Misa's twin is in cahoots with the serial killer, selling out one of his best friends as he blames him for the death of Light's twin.
Light's character ends up killing his girlfriend's twin, but is being driven mad, especially as he has lost his Death Note and can no longer talk to his brother. The killer tells Misa's character that her boyfriend is dead, not expecting her to react as badly to it as she does. She kills herself, and the killer is tipped even more over the edge, and goes in search of Light's character. Meanwhile, he discovers the identity of the killer, and kidnaps his younger brother in a bid to get him to say where the killer is. The killer finds them, and kills his brother in a fit of anger, mistaking him for Light's character. He is then killed by Light's character, who is left alone in the world now that his love is also dead. He kills himself, at the exact time that the killer had written into his diary.
Light loved the story, especially since he was playing the main character. And to be acting with such famous names... it was a dream come true. It really was. He couldn't wait until he got to the location where they would be filming and he could meet them all. They were flying to a different part of Japan for the film location, and would be staying in a hotel next to the set, all paid for by the company. Light couldn't wait to try out the room service.
He checked his watch, and sighed. A good half an hour to go, and it felt like he'd been on this plane for ever. When they arrived at the airport, he and his agent would be taken straight to the hotel, but Light seriously doubted that even an elite film company had developed teleportation. That journey too would delay Light faling into his nice warm bed. As would picking up their luggage after the flight... He sat back in his seat, plugging his iPod into his ears and trying to zone out. He must have fallen asleep, because the next thing he knew, his agent was shaking him, calling his name.
''Light-san! We're nearly at the airport now!''
Light awoke with a start, pulling the earphones out. Sure enough, they were reaching touchdown. The buzz of excitement hit him again, and he sat up, looking at Aizawa with a huge grin plastered onto his face. Even waiting by the luggage carousel for what seemed like hours didn't annoy him as much as he'd expected it to. They came out with their suitcases to be greeted by a black limousine.
''Wow...'' Aizawa whispered, but Light was trying to act as if he got ferried around by chaffeur all the time.
He sat down in the limo calmly while the driver loaded their luggage, and managed to hide the wild laughter that was threatening to burst out of him any minute now. The limo purred along, and Light allowed himself a smug smile of satisfaction.
The hotel was huge. Simply massive. Light and Aizawa stood in the lobby, staring at the marble statues that reached the cavernous ceiling, and the ostentatious gold light fittings. Chandeliers no less. They stared around with their mouths hanging open, before they regained their composure, and found their rooms. When Light was inside his huge room with its jacuzzi and not so mini mini-bar, it got too much. He flung himself face down on the huge king sized bed and laughed until his sides ached.
