~o~O~
Light froze and looked down to his shirt where there was indeed jam on his shirt. It was smeared down it and when he touched it delicately it was horribly sticky.
He looked back to the avid face of L and frowned, "What is this to you?"
He took a step back when the detective grasped his shirt and bought his face close to the jam smears. He inspected this for a short moment before he looked up at Light with anger glowing in his ebony eyes.
"Tell me Light Yagami, who were you associating yourself with?"
Light drew back and eyed L wearily before he retorted flatly, "Why would you even bother asking me a question like that?"
Hesitation started to grow in his chest and L leant further forward and his flat black eyes seemed to search Light's soul.
"Tell me!"
Light frowned then;
"Fine"
He pulled away from L and gazed at him with disdain and loathe. He cast one dark glance to the people in the room, avoiding his fathers before he said scathingly to L;
"BB"
That was all that needed to be said
L's face screwed up in anger and he strode over to Light and threw him against the wall. So unlike the mellow detective that Light had previously knew.
"You let him go?" L almost shouted furiously, "You let him go?"
Light reached up with his hand and plucked his shirt from L's curled grasp and pushed his wings from the wall propelling him forward. L gazed up at him and Light hissed, "Why does it matter to you, why are you so concerned? I see no use for the agitation L."
L stepped back and scowled before pushing down his bottom lip with his thumb. He averted his gaze and Light stepped around him, his footsteps seemed to echo around the room.
His wings stretched out behind him before they curled back and sat against Light's back. He gazed at Mello and Near with disdain before L's voice came out across the room.
"You couldn't even kill him could you?"
Light's gaze fell to the floor and was instantly consumed by the disgust he harboured at his inability to kill even the most disgusting of criminals. He clenched his fists before he slowly turned around to face L.
"I cant, I can only do good. Are you satisfied?"
His chest began to boil, "I was sent back on a mission. To help you bastards catch this pathetic being who dare call himself Kira, the realm of the Shinigami is falling to ruin. I do not have a clue as of why I was brought back but now, I have the ruins sitting on my shoulders. Every wrong I do, this weight will get heavier and it will crush me."
He gazed angrily at everybody then back to L before he scowled, "Come on, genius, catch this bastard so I can die."
He scowled and stepped back when L dropped his hand and cocked his head with a curious glint in his eye.
"Light Yagami" he enquired with amusement clearly underlying his tone, "Bought back from the dead and unable to do any wrong, tell me Light, is this frustrating you?"
Though his face portrayed no emotion Light knew L would be laughing on the inside.
He shook his head and his dark bronze locks fell in his face and obscured his crimson eyes. "You think I'm going to follow you and be obedient like a pathetic dog? I don't think so."
His wings began to shudder with the anger building up inside him and he hissed menacingly, "As long as I walk upon this earth, I will make your life a living hell. I will not help you, don't even expect me to stay here."
He folded his arms across his chest much in a childlike manner before Mello erupted out;
"Oh so you think you will be the one to catch this miserable Kira now you asshole?" there was another bang as Mello's gun landed on the wooden floorboards.
"You are not God, you never will be and without our help you are just as pathetic as we are now."
Light scowled and with a loud thump he fell against the wall and said; "I am Shinigami, I am a God. I have this."
He undone his Death Note from its looped chains to add emphasis. "One name in this and as you all know, you will die."
He swung the notebook lazily between his thumb and forefinger. "I hold the Notebook, I have the power."
He didn't know that was to be his undoing.
As Light flaunted his possession, he didn't see Mello nod to Matt and Near stood up. They all looked to L who had strode across the room, right towards Light.
He collided with the Shinigami and Light was caught off guard.
The Notebook flew from Light's careless grip and he watched with horror as it fell from his hands.
'No' he thought desperately 'If it hits the ground I'm no longer in possession'.
Light made a desperate attempt to catch the Notebook but his long fingers missed it and it seemed to fall in slow motion. It fell to the floor with a deafening thud and all Light could do was stand there and mentally curse himself.
Out of the corner of his eye Light saw L's eyes gleam and he bent down and scooped the notebook up with his fingers. His eyes swept across the black cover before he held it up in between his thumb and forefinger.
He gazed to Light above his hands and seemed to smirk.
"If you are careless you lose said power."
His eyes sparked, "Now I am back in charge, and you will stay by me and do everything I say!"
With a furious roar, Light surged forward and hit L up against the wall. His large black angel wings stretching out across the room.
"I swear, you do anything, there will be hell to pay!"
In a flurry of ebony feathers the Shinigami disappeared leaving a room full of dumbstruck police and detectives.
L propped the book up under his arm and exclaimed to his comrades, "I think we may have our lead."
~o~O~
'Bastard' Light thought furiously, it was a stupid mistake to get his Notebook out. Now L will use that against him so he wont be able to leave the human world. He pelted through the miserable sky with his large wings casting an ominous shadow on the city below.
'Why did I have to be bought back'? he wondered furiously to himself, 'Why me, putting me back into a life where everyone I hated and killed are back from the dead. Its like they were brought back and they have the memories of me being Kira, especially L - and my father.'
Light's thoughts were in absolute turmoil and he remembered the bright, warm face of his sister, not a child but not quite a woman.
'Wait'!
Light's thoughts stopped when he thought of his sister, remembering her kidnap.
Blasted Mello
As far as his vague memories took him Light remembered Sayu going into a state of mental shock. Was she better now was she?
Light changed his course of direction and tried to picture the map of the city and the way back to his house.
Wind buffeted him as he flew right into the cold front and Light cursed, if he went any higher he would lose sight of the city within the clouds. But if he continued on in the dense clouds he would definitely get a bad head cold.
He ducked lower and skimmed the top of the buildings memorising the streets that were once familiar to him. He saw his old house and fell into the front yard and approached the window.
His mother wasn't home but Sayu definitely was. She was pacing around the living room and Light saw four different coloured pills on the coffee table.
Medication.
Sayu wandered aimlessly through the room and frowning to herself, Light strode forward enveloping the wall with a fine black mist before he strode into the living room.
He saw his sister freeze when she saw the shadows come darting from the corners.
Slowly she turned around and Light said in his dark voice;
"You have to take them Sayu"
His sister collapsed on her knees and she gazed up at him with blank eyes. "Light" she whispered. She fell forward and grabbed his pants and began to cry. "Take me with you" she sobbed hysterically, "I cant be here anymore."
Light bent down to uncurl his sisters hands from him, "I cant take you anywhere Sayu, I promise myself that I will not allow my family to suffer the darkness as I did."
He felt the anger building up as he saw his blubbering sister.
Sayu was never like this. She was a strong young woman, ready to embark on a life that had been snatched away from her. Light's hate for Mello grew and now he stared down at the pathetic heap that was his younger sister.
"Take your medication Sayu, it will help you."
Sayu lifted her head and she shook her head helplessly, "I don't like my medication Light, it makes me sick." More tears fell from her eyes, "I hate this place Light" she wailed.
"Take me to heaven."
Guilt bit at Light's chest and he scooped the medication up with hand and held them down to Sayu, "It wont get better until you take these Sayu."
Sayu looked betrayed and she bent her head, "I thought you were here to help me Light, Mum lied to me, she said she will help me but she makes me sick."
Violently she smacked Light's hand away, knocking the pills to the floor. She staggered to her feet and from the small table next to the armchair, she threw a pile of papers at Light.
They scattered around the room and Light saw a brochure and some papers for a nursing home. Remorse flooded him, his mother was unable to take care of Sayu, hefting her off to a home because she was mentally unstable.
Disgust filled him and Sayu yelled hysterically, "Everybody hates me Light, the darkness eats me up. I'm so scared Light, I don't want to die."
She began to gabble and Light's attention was directed at the door. It opened just as Sayu launched herself at him and wailed, "Don't leave me again Light, this time I wont let you go."
Light let his wings fall into his jacket with a rattle of chains and he saw his mother stride in with a tired and exasperated look upon her face.
"Sayu" she scolded, "I gave you the chance to take your medication without force, but now you choose to do this."
She went over and Light inched away from his mother, he debated whether or not he should show himself.
The dismayed look on Sayu's face made Light think twice.
"Light has been gone for a while Sayu, you need to stop saying that he is around." His mother didn't sound happy in the slightest and Say pouted and inched to the other side of the door.
She sighed and another shadow came in the doorway and Light was ready to pounce and attack. At the sight of a bulky woman made him cringe. She was dressed sort of like a nurse and she had the no-nonsense look about her.
She took the pills off Sachiko and stalked towards Sayu, she began to cower and her warm brown eyes widened in terror.
"No" she whispered, "No, please."
She stumbled back and Light grit his teeth when he saw the butch woman man handle his sister.
Sayu screamed out for help, begging Sachiko to help her. But all she did was stand back with tears running down her cheeks.
The nurse gagged Sayu and tried to force the pills down her throat straddling her against the wall.
Light felt defensive and anger whiplashed through him. He stepped forward and his wings started to extend out.
Sachiko froze when the hairs at the back of her neck began to prickle. She felt an evil presence in her house. Through the light in the room she was able to see a large shadow loom across the floor.
Large shadowed wings appeared and manifested and she heard the 'chink, chink' of chains. The shadow grew in length and Sachiko let a shriek erupt from her as long black fingers appeared on the wall either side of the nurse.
Light saw gratitude flash through his sisters eyes as he bent closer. Then he heard his mother scream and the nurse spun around. She was an obvious, trained fighter, her arm was thrust out but she grabbed nothing.
Light appeared inches away from her face revealing long pointed fangs. A maniacal laugh erupted from him and he snarled;
"Think you are so tough, do you?" his hands darted out and grabbed the nurse around her neck. "You think torturing and hurting Sayu makes you feel better, making her terrified to live her life?"
His fingers began to tighten and his eyesight flashed a deep crimson, he saw the nurses lifespan start to drop by the thousands, then hundreds and into single digits.
He felt the craziness and the euphoria building up inside him, he had never killed somebody physically before. It was invoking an unknown feeling inside his chest and it felt good.
The nurse fell limp in his grasp and he let the body drop to the floor. He held out his hand to his sister and helped her up and Light steeled himself to turn around to his mother.
He knew that he looked absolutely pissed off, his fangs scraped against each other and he let a low hiss escape him.
Sachiko looked like she was about to faint, Light saw her gaze at his wings then back to his face and she whispered, sounding devastated; "Light?"
Tears began to fall again and Sayu hid behind Light and said into his back, "I told you Mum, now look what happened!"
Light rasped angrily, "Why?"
That was all that he could say.
Sachiko collapsed to her knees, her gaze fixated on her long deceased son.
"How?" she whispered.
Light gestured to his wings, "How? Is that all? Are you stupid?" He stepped away from Sayu and shouted, his voice cutting through the air; "I am Shinigami, I take people lives away from them, I am DEATH."
His wings shuddered in anticipation and the chains across his shirt clanked together. "Don't have anything to say?"
Light strode around the room glaring at his mother and occasionally, at his sister. "Here I thought, thought that you loved us, loved us enough not to get rid of us if anything went wrong."
Sachiko let a choked sob rack her chest and Light helped Sayu up who then flung herself at him and knotted her fingers in his shirt, "Take me with you Light" she begged. "Let me help you, I will try my hardest."
Sayu looked so helpless, so pathetic; Light held his face unfathomable and he looked away.
There was no way he could bring his sister on this, L would never allow it. He would see her as a nuisance, he thought the exact same thing about Misa.
Light got an acrid feeling in his stomach when he thought of that blonde bimbo.
Whatever happened to her after he was killed?
Light was snapped back to reality after a moment when he heard Sayu squeal. His attention was diverted back to Sachiko who's eyes suddenly went wide.
Her mouth opened and a choked noise came out. Her hands flew to her chest and tore at her shirt and Light shouted; "Mum!"
Sachiko fell to the floor in a heap and Light saw a flicker out of his peripheral vision. His gaze went out the window and he saw a dark shape jump into the air. He ran to the door and Sayu scuttled after him.
His sharp gaze sliced the air and Light growled, "Meet me at the police station Sayu."
His sister went to protest but Light jumped into the air and started to take pursuit. There was no way that a Shinigami was going to get away with killing his mother.
