"Man, I think I'm starting to hate Cosmetology! Who knew so much chemistry and math went into something a girl uses just to get a guy?!"
"I know! Who invented make-up anyway? Whose bright idea was it to stick some shiny dirt on their face and figure out it looks good?" Sayu pondered.
"There's a question for your brother there, Sayu!" A chestnut-haired young man commented. Sayu just rolled her eyes in anxiety and frustration.
"Not again, Akira. Do you always have to keep bringing Light into this? He doesn't live with us anymore! He hardly ever comes to visit! He's off being a man, doing manly things on his own! I thought when he rented his own place people would just stop talking about him."
"How can we? He's, like, the smartest guy in the world and he's working on the Kira case! He'll be the center of attention even after he's put to his grave!" Akira smirked.
"I know, and I'm Mr. Wonderful's sister. Everyone expects me to be some Marie Curie just because my brother's a freaking Einstein! Even my teachers tease me when I get a B joking that my brother's gonna disown me! It's like everyone thinks I'm just like him, but I'm not!"
"Yeah, I see your point. He IS kinda...well, perfect."
"What are you saying?! That I'm the opposite of perfect?" Sayu's eyes turned really round and she pouted her lip.
"No! You're totally per- well, not really. But I don't mean it like that! You're imperfect, but that's okay because...er..." Akira jumbled up his words.
"Hehe, I know! I'm just messing with you! I'm a flawed human being, but that actually makes me more interesting. I actually have some life in me, unlike Light. He's so perfect, and it gives him such a huge ego he thinks he better than everyone else! I used to call him Zeus because he thinks he's some deity and has a load of girlfriends. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother. In fact, I really wish he'd come home to visit. Last time he and the other police officers came over was about a week ago. Mr. Matsuda's so funny! He told me I was pretty now that I'm all grown up! I played along and said I would consider going out with him!"
"Oh, so I have some competition on my hands. Fair enough, I'm not going to lose. I challenge him to a battle of wits!" Akira raised his fist in confidence. Sayu just giggled and patted his chest.
"Don't worry, Akira. You're the only man in my eyes! I was joking with him! Even so, you'd probably win anyways! Matsuda's pretty much a goofball most of the time." She finished as she quickly gave him a peck on the lips.
As they got closer to her house, she saw a moving truck on the driveway of the neighbor's house.
"Huh? Oh, I didn't know the neighbors were moving."
"Maybe they're paranoid that Kira's gonna come to this neighborhood since the people trying to find him are a part of your family."
"Oh, that's enough from you! I'll see you tomorrow, A-Kira!" Sayu laughed as she made the little pun she'd been using since she met him. As her boyfriend left to go to his own house, she watched him until he turned the corner. She was absolutely in love with him. He actually loved her for her own personality, not for her position as the wonderful Light Yagami's sister. How did she know? Because when they first met, he went on about how overrated Light Yagami was and joked about how much gel he uses in his hair. It wasn't until after they started getting a little closer that he found out her last name was Yagami. He was shocked at first and started apologizing for all he said about her brother. She just giggled and said she was glad that he finally had a different opinion than everyone else about Light. Then she told him Light actually uses the entire 32-oz. bottle of gel within a week!
"Mom! I'm home!" She called out as she walked into her house. There was only the sound of clock to answer. She figured her mom must be out shopping for groceries. She hoped she didn't buy too much food again. Sometimes, she forgot that Light and Dad don't come home for dinner anymore and buys two extra meals. She left her bag on the couch and marched upstairs to her room. She really needed to check her Facebook to see if any of her friends responded to that funny joke she posted the night before.
As she walked to her room, her heart started to pace. Why did something not feel right? Suddenly, she heard a slight breathing noise from inside her room. She slowly opened the door.
"Mom, are you-MMPH!" She was cut off by a long piece of duct tape being stretched along her mouth and her whole body being grabbed by some large foreign man. Another man cuffed her hands together and gave her a quick injection of some slightly green fluid. For a moment, she was in a state of all out panic. Then the next moment, she felt every organ in her body slow down and her eyes drooped after only hearing one of the men say, "We got her, Mello's gonna like this one..."
Everything was dark for hours. For a moment, she thought she was dead. Then she got her senses back and realized that she was rumbling in the back of a large truck. Then, she remembered the moving truck that was in the neighbor's yard. She realized it was for her, not the neighbors.
"Mom?! An'b'dy! Ligh'! Dad! Some'hel' m!" She tried to cry out, but the tape was still on her mouth. She was shivering so much even though it was burning up in this truck. All she wanted right now was for someone to come and answer her questions! Who were those guys?! Why did they kidnap her? Where the hell was she going? In the driver's seat of the truck were the kidnappers, Rashual and Glen. They headed to the shore where they would be met by a stolen cargo ship ready to take them and the girl to the United States where they would deliver her to Mello, the leader of the operation.
"Won't Mello be happy when he sees the hot chick we brought home!"
"Hehe, yeah. He'll get so wired he might even take her on the spot."
"I don't know about that. Something tells me that guy plays for the other team. Of course if I said that outside of here, he'd probably bite my head off."
"Nah, he'd cover you in chocolate syrup, and THEN bite your head off. Yeah, I see what you mean. He doesn't want this hostage to kill herself, so he'll probably leave her alone and keep her happy."
"Since when has a good screw not made a woman happy?" They burst out in laughter as Sayu tried to get loose of her handcuffs in the back of the truck. She rocked back and forth as she tried to pull her hands free from the cold, dull brass. She couldn't really be in this situation. No! This couldn't be happening! No one kidnaps anyone anymore since Kira came around. Any minute now, the truck would stop and her friends would jump out and surprise her, telling her it was all just a big joke. Some of them would go this far, right? No, she knew she was pressing her luck. Well...her dad and brother must know she's gone and on their way to rescue her right now! Any minute now; any minute now...
