And now for Chapter 2. I spent a few hours coming up with this and typing it up, so please read and review. But enough about that. I'm not sure how often I'll update this (if anyone's even reading this). It could be once a day, every other day, or a few times a week. I guess it depends on how many people are reading this. Please read and review. You'll make me very happy ^_^ And now for the replies:
Camisado- First of all let me say congratulations on being the first reviewer!
Yeah, I also noticed that too. Most story's focus around Yaoi or OCs in the Death Note catagories. Not that I have anything against either of those, but sometimes you just get sick and tired off all the stories having the same stuff. And I just feel like since Sayu's such a minor character, she deserves some credit. I mean, the only thing she did in the actually Anime/Manga was get kidnapped by the Mafia.
I haven't read a fanfic about Sayu finding out Light is Kira either, but I imagine someone wrote one somewhere.
That's what I was worried about, but not to worry, I've thought of a plan. And it will all be explained in due time. Mwhahaha! Ahem. It will go a little into detail this chapter but you won't figure out the whole story until chapter 4 or so.
And in this chapter she is going to get angry. Very, very angry.
Disclaimer- If I owned Death Note, I'd die of happiness.
It wasn't even noon, and Sayu already wished that she didn't get out of bed that morning. Not only did she hardly get any sleep, she also left her Science homework at home and forgot all about her math test that day, so she had to guess on over half the answers. Yes, Sayu was smart, but math was the only subject in school that she didn't understand. It was the one thing that brought her GPA down. Words couldn't even begin to describe the brunette's hatred of math. Not only was the learning part of school bad, but Sayu learned that her best friend since kindergarten was moving to Peru. But, right now Sayu was walking to her favorite spot for lunch, on a park bench underneath a cherry blossom tree (which right now just looked like a plain tree, since it was winter), with her bento box in her hands. Sayu however, was too busy moping about her bad day, to pay attention to where she was walking, and ended up crashing into Kimiko Fukui, the richest girl in her entire school, who acted like a perfect little princess in front of the teachers, but in reality she was just another spoiled brat who'd throw a tantrum if she didn't get her way. And getting on her bad side was not a good idea. And unfortunately, Sayu's bad luck decided to make her life even more miserable, as she had just spilled the contents of her bento all over Kimiko, who needless to say, was red in both anger and embarrassment.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Sayu apologized quickly, but flinching back when the sound of Kimiko's shrill screams reached her ears.
"YOU'RE SORRY?! YOU'RE SORRY?! NO YOU'RE NOT! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING-" Sayu cringed in fear, as Kimiko continued to falsely accuse her of purposely dumping the bento onto her new blouse. Following that was a string of insults, curses, and finally Kimiko, realizing for the first time since she started yelling, that she was covered in food ran to the bathroom muttering something along the lines of, "Stupid girl. Humiliating me like that. I'll make her life a living nightmare." Sayu felt something running down her face, and realized that she had been so scared of Kimiko that she had started crying.
Sayu kneeled down and picked up her now empty bento box. As she did so she finally noticed all the whispers that were being said around her.
"Do you really think she did that on purpose?" One girl asked her friend.
"What a wimp, she can't even stand up for herself." A boy whispered to his friends.
"Why's she crying? She's the one who dumped her bento on Kimi-chan!" Another girl, probably one of Kimiko's friends, whispered to some nearby students. Mean things were being said by many students, some of them who she thought were her friends.
"What a klutz!"
"Walk much?"
"Loser."
Sayu stood there with her head down. How could they! Sayu thought. Why are they accusing me of being the bad guy? Everyone saw that it was Kimiko who was freaking out, yet they're acting like it was me! I thought they were my friends! Why!? Why would they do this to me? Sayu stood there a few more moments, listening to the hurtful comments of her so called, friends. Her face was now wet with tears.
"S-SHUT UP!" Sayu yelled; her voice cracking. When everyone stopped their conversations too look at her she looked down, trying to hide her blush. She couldn't believe she just did that, she just brought all their attention back to her. Normally she'd be thrilled to have all this attention, but not this way. She'd rather have it for being friendly to everyone, not for some outburst she had. She wanted to say something to get them all off her back, but she was crying to hard now to say anything audible. So instead she just ran as fast as she could away from the school, and back to her house. She knew she'd get in trouble for ditching school later, but she just had to get away from there.
When Sayu arrived home, she was thankful she was the only one there. Mom must be out buying groceries, Sayu concluded, since otherwise her mother would be home. Sayu had luckily stopped crying, but her eyes were still red and irritated from crying so much. Sayu knew she'd get in trouble when her mom got back, so instead of sticking around for it to happen and her mother to force her to return to school, she went out for a walk to clear her head.
It's such a nice day out! Sayu exclaimed, noticing that it was bright and sunny out for the first time. Though it was still cold, as that was to be expected since it was January, it was a remotely pleasant day. Sayu thought of the resent events that happened. She was so confused. My brother being Kira, impossible! Besides, why would he brother want to kill people? No one has ever done anything that brought harm among him or any of his close friends- Sayu stopped walking and thought for a moment. Friends? Does Light even have any friends? If not that would explain why he was talking to himself. The more that she thought about it, the more she realized he never mentioned any friends. She knows he dated girls in the past, but it usually never lasted long enough to be considered 'going out', if anything it was 'going on a date'. Was it possible… that if he was Kira, he was only doing it because he was… bored?
Sayu closed her eyes and shook her head. No, why would someone do that. It's just insane. But… still. I shouldn't rule it out as a possibility. Sayu sighed and opened her eyes, finally noticing where she was. It was an old park that she and Light used to play at when they were young. It was simple, just a couple swings and a slide. Sayu unconsciously worked her way over to the swing and sat down on it. Sayu swing herself for a little bit while she thought about how her brother might be Kira. She remembers how she figured out something was up.
~Flashback~
"Ugh, I hate math!" Sayu whined. "I need to take a break, I feel like my brains about to burst!" Sayu sat down her math homework and walked into the kitchen. "Hmm… What do I want? Cookies? No. Ice-cream? No. I don't really want anything sugary… Oh! How about an apple! Let me see…" Sayu looked where they normally keep apples, in the bottom drawer of the fridge… but it was empty?
"That's odd; I swore mom just bought some apples just this morning." Sayu tapped her chin, thinking as to where they have gone. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Light walking towards his room, with a bag of apples in his hands! "Light!" He stopped and turned towards her.
"Hi, Sayu!" He happily greeted, then he noticed her looking at the bag of apples. "Oh no, not you too." He muttered under his breath.
"Why not me too?" Sayu asked, only catching part of what he said.
"Oh- I mean you have a weird apple craving too? I thought I was the only one. It must be the weather or something." Light said, Sayu thought he was acting a little oddly, but dismissed it as nothing for now.
"Yeah!" Sayu happily agreed. Her brother was considered a genius, so Sayu assumed that it must have been true. "Anyways, do you mind sharing?" Sayu pointed at the bag and Light grabbed out an apple and tossed it too her. "Thanks!"
"Anytime." Light said as he walked into his room, before her closed the door completely she heard him say something like, "Okay, here are your stupid apples, Shinigami."
"Shinigami?" Sayu repeated. "What an odd word. But still… it feels like I've heard it somewhere before." Sayu shrugged it off and happily took a bite of her apple. "Yum!"
~Flashback End~
That wasn't the first time he was acting weird either. She remembered how he was sneaking out of the house. She was curious where he was going. So one time, she followed him. And that's how she figured out that he was Kira.
Sayu wasn't sure how long she was at the park, it only felt like an hour or so, but the next thing she realized, it was starting to get dark.
As much as I don't want to, I'm going to have to go home eventually. Sayu got up from the swing and slowly made her way towards home. When she finally arrived, the sky was dark. Sayu hesitated as she reached for the doorknob, but it swung open before she could even grab it.
"SAYU YAGAMI! WHERE WERE YOU YOUNG LADY?!" A middle aged woman with short brown hair scolded Sayu as she grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her into the dining room, where her father and brother were seated eating dinner, both of them looking up at the sound of her yelling.
"Mom, I-" Sayu started, but was cut off by her father, who stood up when he saw Sayu was with her.
"Skipping school? What have you gotten yourself into?" He lectured.
"But I-"
"Why can't you be more like you're brother? He never skips, and just look at his grades?! He's the top of his class!" Her mother said, praising Light.
"I-"
"And he never gets into trouble. We got a phone call from the school today telling us that not only did you skip, you also dumped your lunch on another girl. Why can't you be just behave? Like Light does?" Sayu looked at her mother with a mix of anger and betrayal.
"Be more like Light?!" Sayu shouted as loudly as she could so she wouldn't be interrupted again. "You mean get perfect grades?! And be good at absolutely everything?! Well, Light's not as great as everyone thinks he is!"
"Sayu!" Her father warned, but she just glared at him instead of her mother.
"No! It's not fair! I get A's to, but does anyone care?! No! I'm good at stuff too, but does anyone ever notice Light's poor little sister?! No! No one ever cares, as far as they're concerned all I am is Light's little sister!"
"That's not true!" Her mom protested, but before she could say any more Sayu cut her off.
"Yes it is! It's always about Light! Whatever I do, Light ends up doing ten times better! Light's not perfect you know! And do you know why?! Because he's Kira!" Sayu pointed at Light, and he looked stunned at first, and then just casually laughed.
"Seriously? That's the best you could come up with?" Light laughed. "Sayu, you're just too funny. But the Kira case is an important case, it's not a joke."
"IT'S NOT A JOKE! I'M SERIOUS!"
"Sayu!" Her mom said angrily, only to be silenced when her father put a reassuring hand on his wife's shoulder.
"Sayu," he said sternly, "I understand that you're jealous of your brother, but there is no need to have an outburst like this just so we'll notice you."
"You-you think I'm doing this for attention?" Sayu's vision had started to become blurry; she knew she was going to end up crying again. "You're wrong! I know that Kira's really Light! And-and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so! You guy's may not believe me, but I know that someone else out there will! And I'm not going to stop until I find them! I-I hate you all!
"Sayu… apologize now or you will no longer be welcome in this home." Her mother warned. Sayu knew that it was an empty threat, but she wasn't going to give in, not anymore.
"Fine! But I'll admit it! None of you will even care if I'm gone! All anyone ever cares about is Light! It's always, Light this, and Light that. It's even that way with you guy's! Light is you're favorite! He always has been, and always will be! I-I honestly hope that I'll never see any one you again! And don't bother looking for me because no matter how hard you try, you won't find me!" Sayu shouted in anger as she stormed out of the house, leaving her family to stand there dumbfounded. No one has ever seen Sayu that angry before, and none of them ever thought that she was actually serious about running away. At least not on her own.
But none of them were aware of one single camera that was watching the entire scene.
Meanwhile, Sayu couldn't believe what she did. A part of her wanted to go back and apologize, and pretend none of that ever happened. But another part of her wanted to stay true to her word and run away. But right now, Sayu knew she needed a little time too cool off, so she ran to the park she was at earlier and collapsed onto a swing. She managed to hold her tears in the entire time she was arguing with her family, but as soon as she got out the door, they just came pouring out.
"Tissue?" A male voice came from besides Sayu, making her jump. She expected to see some drunken man who wasn't in his right of mind. Never would she have though that she the person standing beside her was indeed not a drunken man, but an elderly man with white hair wearing a black tuxedo. All in all, he looked like someone's butler.
"Huh?" Sayu asked, snapping out of the shock of an elderly butler standing next to her.
"Tissue?" He asked again, holding out a tissue. Sayu hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"How do I know you're not some kind of pervert?" The old man just chuckled.
"I assure you, Miss Yagami, I am no pervert. I am simply doing my duty as a gentleman and asking a crying girl if she would like a tissue." Sayu wasn't sure what shocked her more, the fact that he knew her name or that he carried around a tissue with him for this exact situation. She decided on the second, but deciding that would be weird to ask a stranger, she settled on the first.
"How do you know my name?"
"I guess in a way, I work with your father." Sayu gasped.
"What!"
"Don't worry; I'm not going to take you back to him." Sayu sighed in relief. "But, our employer however would like to speak with you."
"Employer?" Sayu was curious as to what they would want with her.
"I'm sure you've heard of L?" Sayu nodded. "Think of me as his messenger. I'm his eyes and ears in the outside world."
"What does he want with me?" The old man chuckled again. "He has a proposition for you, Miss Yagami, and it may just benefit the both you and him."
Haha! You have to love (and hate) cliffhangers. And you will learn the story behind when Sayu followed Light, just not now. Sorry about any OOCness. Like I said, this is my first story. And plus if you were having as bad a day as Sayu, do you think you'd be all rainbows and butterflies? I think not! And after she learned her brother was Kira, she's a little more cautious. But don't worry, all will be explained in due time. I'm going to test something out. I've noticed stories with a question at the bottom tend to get more reviews, so I'm going to test that theory.
Any good ideas on how L and Watari can convince Sayu to go to Wammy's House? (I'll give you credit)
