"Go away," hands cover eyes, knees pulled up to a slender chest.
"I can't."
"Go away, I hate you."
"But I am part of you."
"No, you're not."
"You created me, I am you."
"No I didn't. Shut up."
"What is your name?"
The light was blinding.
"Kira."
Looming. The shadows were always so tall.
"That's not what it says here," a thick file slammed down onto the table.
"But that's who I am."
"This says you are Light Yagami, age sixteen."
"He is," It's smirking again. It always smirks.
The shadow is curious now, "He is? Then who are you?"
"Kira."
"Who is he?" the dark hair is messy, eyes blackened with lack of rest.
"Hm? The new boy? They say he killed a man, but I'm not sure I believe it."
"No. He did. I'm almost sure of it." So very sure.
"What! But he looks so sweet!" Perfectly, blindingly oblivious, this one.
"That's only because you're not looking very carefully at all."
"I hate you."
You're always saying that. I'm not sure I should believe you anymore.
"I hate you," the voice is shaking now.
Then make me go away.
"I can't," past shaking now. Wailing and broken.
I know. Still smirking. It's teeth are always so very sharp.
"How long will you keep us here?"
"Forever. You're a monster."
"But can you?" They can't.
Silence. They know the truth.
"I wonder…" They know he knows.
They whisper in hallways.
"Can't they tell the poor boy's insane?"
"It drove him mad, what they did to his sister. That's what they say."
Poor, little Sayu.
Took them a month to find her.
And by then…Well.
"No. It was the school. They held him back too long."
Confining, to be sure, but full of so many sheep.
Sheep for the slaughter.
"His father's a police chief. The stress must have been too much."
Father, who turned a blind eye on everything.
Even his precious little girl's disappearance.
"It's really no wonder he snapped. The poor dear."
Wrong. They're all wrong.
It had always been the boredom.
His dagger-smile had always been red.
Every day, they hand him the same pills.
The pills let it out.
So, I am an it now?
So smug, like the cat that ate the canary and finished with the family.
"Monster."
