This morning had begun normally.
Sayu walked to school with her friend, Christa. It was part of her normal routine. They talked about school uniforms, boys, and Hideki Ryuga like most teenage girls.
She hoisted her school bag further up her shoulder while speaking to the other girl. "I don't see why Light doesn't think it's a big deal that he's dating Misa Misa!
I mean, I tried to show him her magazines and stuff, but he totally doesn't care. Lame right?" The brunette whined.
A Black Van pulled up beside them and stopped. Christa poked Sayu's shoulder and pointed to it. "Hey who's-" Suddenly three men in ski masks hopped out of the back of the vehicle. One man rushed forward and clamped a hand over Yagami's mouth, dragging her inside backwards. Christa screamed hysterically and cowered back away from the horrifying scene. As far as she was concerned this wasn't a time to be brave. After the doors slammed shut with all assailants and Sayu inside, it screeched off.
Inside the van, Sayu was pounding on the window, crying out for her friend. The man that had dragged her in pulled off his mask and grabbed a fist full of the girls hair. "Shut the hell up!" He commanded through gritted teeth. She began to sob. After a few minutes of trying to quiet her down with aggressive tactics, the men gave up and pressed a rag drenched in chloroform against her face.
She came to in a dark room that seemed to be almost empty excluding the chair she was sitting on. The girl tried to stand up, wanting to explore the place, but only managed to tip over backwards in her chair. Sayu hadn't realized her hands were tied to the back of it. "Ah!" This caused her to remember how she made it to this awful place. The kidnapping. Falling onto her tied hands hurt badly, making Sayu tear up. Everything seemed hopeless.
A creaking noise filled the room. A door that she couldn't see must have been behind her! After that there was a pause, then the clicking of boots against wood flooring. "You've got to be kidding me? I hear some screaming and it's just this brat busting her head on the ground." An amused voice said before exhaling audibly.
It smelled like smoke. He came into view as he lifted her chair back up effortlessly. The man had red hair and wore goggles around his neck.
"Who are you?" Sayu asked him quietly. "Did you kidnap me..? I don't understand. My family doesn't even have that much money. You've made a mistake." The tears in her eyes spilled over onto pale cheeks.
"I'm Matt, and I didn't kidnap you. My boss did. We don't give a shit about your money, and I don't have to tell you why you're here." He said bluntly. Matt pulled his striped sleeves over his palms and wiped off her tears. In reality he actually hadn't even asked Mello why they had this girl. Deciding to take some pity on her, the ginger squatted down behind her and began to untie the restraints. His job was to keep her in the room and alive. Mello didn't care what else went on otherwise.
That being said, it was up to him how cruel he chose to be.
Feeling that her hands were free, Sayu rubbed her wrists gently and turned sideways in her chair. She didn't get up, fearing he'd grab her like the man inside that van from before. It was natural for her to want to thank him for releasing her hands, but that seemed sort of inapropriate in the situation. Matt took a drag of his smoke and flicked the ashes away. He didn't like talking to women. Or anyone really. He'd been told he was a cocky guy his entire life, and it hadn't bothered him yet.
There was an awkward moment of tension. Her looking up at him with bright, scared eyes. Him looking down with an uncomfortable expression. "Alright, Yagami. Don't give me those weird looks. I'm not the one who fucked you over here." Matt scratched the back of his neck. She looked down quickly. "I'll be back later to check up on you." He called back, already making his way out the door.
