Thread: A Warped Sense of Justice [Death Note] (Yuna & Reinholdt's 1x1)

Sakura Takesho She'd heard very vague bits of information about all of the above, especially the NPA and Kira task force much more the latter. Luckily for Light, she still wasn't exactly sure on what path of Criminal Justice she wanted to go down. There was always the ability to go to Interpol, transfer to the States and work for the FBI or CIA, or work for a Japanese equivalent. Granted, the last would very likely lead her right back to him but hell, she hadn't intentionally known that. Her interests had been in finding Kira and they still remained that way. Just now, she found herself becoming more and more intrigued and interested with the man beside her something that she had not anticipated would even dare begin to happen. But if it was part of Light's idea to charm her and make her tempted to fall for him .. it was definitely working at a gradual but definite pace. Oh? If I didn't know better, I'd say some form of fate made sure we wound up together, It was partly true but not only. The odd aura she had noted upon seeing his name, let alone that she continued to notice, definitely got her attention. Sakura was working on her end to make sure she could stay nearby and learn more about this Light person. That was maybe the main thing that made her feel even the slightest bit guilty about seeming as if she were using him she was definitely beginning to take a liking to him. But ... this had to be done, for herself more than anything else. So, what are you going to do if he is Kira? Her heart pounded as she tried to think on that answer. She'd think about that while eating, Sakura decided. Right now, there was a much more important question to reply to, another that she had to be careful with answering. When a satisfactory reply entered her head, she nodded and began to speak. Six months ago, my parents had to take a business trip on an airplane. It got taken over by terrorists and crashed. No one made any real efforts to do anything. Granted, I realize it would have been hard to find names and even more difficult to get the bastards and interrogate them. No one, apparently, survived. But .... Her teeth gripped her lower lip as the true memory began to haunt her, making her fists clench. I just ... how had that been missed?! I mean, shouldn't security have caught them even before they got on that plane?! There ... I feel like there were so many more steps that could have and should have been taken! Now because of the lack of effort security has put, I've been trying to get by the past half year. Inheritances only last so long and thankfully, I should have enough for a while. But I've still been thinking of getting a job after school just in case. The last part on seeking out employment was actually very true. Anything involving the plane, however, was definitely a lie not that Light needed to know though. As they walked into the cafe, she pondered whether to bring Kira up or not .. and decided against it. For now. If he mentioned him, that would be one thing. But she'd wait for a better opportunity to do so herself. Finally, Light would see her begin to relax as her fists unclenched and Sakura took a long, deep breath. Sorry. If it hasn't been obvious ... I've been trying to keep what sanity I have left. You're the first person outside family who has genuinely treated me like an actual person. I get .. a lot of hell, especially for these. Her right index finger tapped underneath a crimson eye. Yeah, I know I look like some demon or whatnot. But it's not like I need to fucking hear it. An embarrassed chuckle passed her lips as she grabbed the menu. Heh, sorry. I sometimes rant at times. I .. really do appreciate everything so far though. I hope you know that. An honest smile crossed her face as her eyes began to scan the menu, trying to figure out what to order for herself. From what Sakura could assume, her own game of half-lies and half-truths was actually working. In fact, it seemed to be as successful as Light charming her, be it intentional or otherwise. She couldn't help but wonder, however, his true feelings on her. Was he just going to be another who would use her in the end? Or did he really mean it when he'd said he had taken an interest in her? It was selfish, but Sakura was definitely secretly hoping that - regardless of if he was Kira or not - it would be the latter. She had been dead serious about telling Light he had been one of the first people who made her feel human, normal, in a long time. She wanted to keep feeling this good somehow. But if it could be helped, she might finally be able to have a lot more confidence on moving on and properly grieving. It'd still be doable and hard if this wasn't true. All the same, it would be more satisfying if this was all real and not some tantalizing dream Sakura was experiencing. So, what got you into Criminal Justice anyway? she added while still looking over the menu. Hopefully not some tragedy like myself.
