It had been a year since her brother's death. Light Yagami, he was always after the Kira, always after Death and he got what he wanted. It just was not in the way she imagined. She loved her bigger brother, and since his death she always felt alone and lost to others in the world.
It was snowing today as she greeted her Father, Soichiro Yagami. He properly waited for her and held the umbrella open for her. They both began to walk in the damp snow.
"...would you like the Kira back?"
"No..." Sayu shook her head. "Father...that would be a terrible thing. The Kira took my Brother..." she sniffed, feeling her Father's hand pat her back.
"We're almost home, Sayu." he spoke smoothly.
"Tomorrow is my brother's birthday...we have to do something for the occasion...for Mother's sake at least." Sayu smiled sadly looking in the direction of her Father.
"We will say a prayer at dinner, and make a small cake for everyone." her Father reassured her as they walked up to their home.
Sayu departed from her Father heading inside. She looked upstairs as someone had came down from her Brother's room. She blinked noticing her Mother taking boxes down.
"What are you doing Mother?" Sayu asked
"Well, we have mourned your brother's death for so long. We must do something with that room to help us find closure." Sachiko simply replied.
Sayu looked in the direction of her Father, before turning her eyes back to Sachiko. "Mother that is his things..."
"Yes...you will help me...bring the rest down tomorrow. I'm tired tonight. I am going to make dinner, then head off to bed." she smirked heading into the kitchen.
Sayu sighed. She looked at her Father.
Soichiro was about to speak until his phone rang. "Its the office...I must be on my way...sorry dear..." he turned back towards the front door exiting.
Sayu huffed marching up to her former Brother's room. She glanced around the area. Sayu slowly looked down at the boxes opening one and peering into it. She found his old school notebooks and carefully she began to look through the pieces of papers. "He was obsessed with Kira's victims..." she frowned slightly. "Wait...how are all the names here? This looks like a copy..."
"But a copy of what?" she blinked, then searched a little more finding pieces of blank paper stuck in between a desk and the wall. She yanked it out looking down at it. Shaking her head slightly, she shrugged lying the pieces down. Slowly she glanced to her side, her eyes widening. "W-What are you!" she almost screamed. Her eyes viewed a creepy looking thing with beady, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. He wore all black, even his wings looked black. His skin was dead looking.
"Eh? You can see me?" Ryuk gave a wide grin. "Light must've left a few pages of the deathnote behind..."
"Light?" Sayu Yagami went back into the wall staring at this, "But how...I thought...he was against the Kira...did Father lie to me?" she sniffled
Ryuk let out a long, evil sounding laugh. "Against Kira? Light was Kira! Until I killed him..." He laughed again.
Sayu began to let tears stroll down her face. "But...that's impossible..." she looked down sadly trying to take all of this in. "How could he be Kira?...he fought against...the Kira...how could my brother be so...twisted. What is the Death Note?" she held the pages in her hand trembling.
"The Deathnote," Ryuk said, pulling out one of his own and showing it to her, "is a notebook that we shinigami use to take humans' lives for our own amusement. As for your 'brother', he only made everyone think he was hunting Kira to try and throw them off of his trail...Obviously," Ryuk chuckled, "...it didn't work...
Sayu wiped her tears away from her face peering down at the Death Note. "I see." she commented softly. The expression on her face was priceless agony and confusion.
"Sayu, dinner is ready! Hurry up...its your favorite! Rice Balls, Veggies, and for dessert its Apple Pie!" Sachiko hollered for her daughter.
"Coming Mother...in a moment..." Sayu looked at Ryuk. "Will you be here after dinner?...please?"
Ryuk looked taken aback for a moment, then said hopefully, "Uhh...apples?"
Sayu blinked at Ryuk. "Will you stay if I give you an apple? I'm sure we have more down there. I always liked them myself. Oh, what's your name?"
"Ryuk," he said simply. "Well...I suppose I don't have much else going on..."
"Sayu!" Sachiko hollered.
"Mother!" Sayu frowned becoming a little hissy fitty. "I'm coming...geez..." she rolled her eyes walking out of the room and joining her Mother for dinner. Afterwards, she quickly hopped back upstairs going into Light's room seeing Ryuk. She held an apple out tossing it to him. "So...um...you stopped Light...who was also Kira?" she looked at Ryuk sadly. "That means Misa was involved too. Wait...what about my Father?"
Ryuk deftly snatched the apple from mid-air and began chomping happily on it. "You're father was trying to catch Kira...he was absolutely shocked when he found out it was Light..."
"Oh..." Sayu looked over at Ryuk. "What if I made a deal with you and your Death Note?...I want...to know the truth about my Brother, Light. Am I able...to touch...the book?" she trembled saying these words, but she wanted to know the things Light knew. She missed her brother terribly, and didn't care of the outcome by doing this.
Ryuk paused with his apple halfway to his mouth. "Why? You can already see me, and I'm not sure I'm ready to give up ownership of it just yet. I don't see what's in it for me..." he took another bite of the apple.
