Hello everyone.

To BlackMoonDragon7: Thank you so much for your encouraging words. They mean a lot to me. Thank you very much.

Semester Mid-examinations are over! I didn't even think I'll get through all the six subjects. I had a serious doubt with two. It was not like I tried with all my heart..somehow I didn't feel interested at all. But damn the correction was so loose! Just two or three failed while we were expecting the majority to fail. I am more than safe now. Actually that might not be true..I am somewhere in the top 10% of my class! LOL!

But it pisses me off to search for the reason why my interest returned just on the night of the last exam. Anyway, I'm so happy for that.

A lot of free time..until the next week! So here I am. Time to recollect where we stopped..and there you go!

I entered my brother's room without looking at the thing. I put another chair at his study table and sat down in it.

That thing did not scare me anymore. Especially after I understood that it were friends with my brother from their small conversation I heard before.

Something's is not right.

"Hey, Light, don't you close your door always?" I asked.

He turned to me and said, "I am not the one studying Sayu, and it's you. So I don't have any problem if it is open… I don't have to concentrate so much to help you."

"Oh. Okay then, let it be open," I said and opened my math book.

I tried solving a problem. But I ended up getting the wrong answer. This is not new for me; I was very bad at numerical calculations from the beginning. But it is not like I got used to it. It may have been years like this with me in mathematics, yet it frustrates me every single time. I sighed internally and stretched myself. When I was about to ask Light to check where I went wrong, I noticed that his head was turned to the thing.

Light was looking at that thing and I was looking at him.

"What?" he said as he saw me staring at him.

"What are you looking at? Is something there?"

I asked him playing innocent. I wanted to see what he has to say; after all he has kept his head turned in that direction for so long.

"You didn't get the right answer, did you?"

What the hell? He made me wait for a two whole minutes and then this is what he comes up with?!

I thought and I wondered when he noticed me stretch out. I thought I caught him off guard.

"Yes. Check and tell me," I said as plain as he did as I moved my book along with a pen in its rift towards him.

"Hmh hmh hmh…"

The thing chuckled, probably at me and Light, and I had to keep my itch not to turn my head to glare at it. I looked at my brother who seemed not be bothered by it at all. Well, he was like that from the first.

"Don't you have anything to say to me? Huh, Yagami Light?"

What?!

Is it trying to piss my brother? And if he talks to it in front of me, I will know about the thing… So he has to keep his calm. That thing is giving my brother a tough time. Little does it know how cool my brother can be when it comes to things like this.

I retracted my attention to Light when he tapped my book with the pen.

"Here, explain me how forty-five upon forty becomes nine upon five?"

I looked into the book where the tip of the pen ends.

' 45/40 = 9/5 '

is it not correct? "What's wrong with that?"

I turned to him as I asked. Forty-five by forty is nothing other than nine by five, right? But his expression changed into one like he is troubling himself so much not to laugh at me.

"Sayu.. just check it again."

I checked it again. But I felt like everything was correct.

"Stop playing. I checked it three times already and this is the fourth. I know there is nothing wrong there."

"Whatever it is, Light, it looks like it is quite interesting, eh? We never had these kinds of things in our world."

I silently wondered what its world was like hearing its statement. Poor creature thinks math is cool. I'm happy for it because it didn't know how much pain the calculations are until now.

"It is nine upon eight."

Huh?

Oh! Yeah it is nine by eight. I just realized so. This is the very big, good reason why I hate this subject.

"Hm..I know," I said and took my pen from him, more like pulled it out of his hand. I get so angry and frustrated when this happens.

Light did not bother at went back to staring at his book with his face in his palm. And I am not joking when I said he stares at the books. I don't even see the movement of his eyes to convince me he reads the text. I never saw him practice either. Probably he has a super talent to just scan everything and store it in his head by staring at the pages like that. And then, here I am, no matter how much I try, how hard I practice, I still end up doing some silly mistake one way or the other.

I started solving the question from where I went wrong.

Thankfully I solved it properly this time.

"Yes! I got it right," I said.

"Good," his mouth spoke while he continued with his staring activity.

I proceeded with my other home works after I was done with mathematics. Physics is my brother's main subject now. But he helps me with everything including languages which he always seemed uninterested in. I, on the other hand, am very much interested and passionate for languages rather than sciences.

It was 11:20 by the time I finished all my home works and I should admit that my brother had been good help. If I tried to do all the assignments myself without any help, I would be able to complete them the night before the submission day.

It took me three full hours of a good concentrated study and thanks to my brother; I am done with all of my assignments due this week.

"I'll go watch some TV," I told Light and went down the stairs. I left my books in his room purposefully, I did remember about them.

The purpose in my mind is to go inside his room when he is not home. So I ran down like I did not hear my brother's call out. And I am pretty sure he won't carry my books for me, that is, if everything is fine. So if he does, it means he has something in his room which he does not intend for others to know. But since he allowed me in his room with the thing inside, that creature is only visible to him. So I don't think he will get my books out and I will get a chance to go to his room. I can't go inside without a good reason. I went once, and after he returned he came to me asked me what caused me to go to his room. I wondered how he even knew I went. When I told him my not much of a considerable reason, he plainly told me not to go inside, anytime again. And when I questioned him why, he ignored me. So this time I have a good plan and a pretty good reason if he would ask.

I turned the TV on and spent some time in front of it until mom called for lunch. All of this while Light stayed in his room.

We waited for dad to come home so that we can eat together. I never get the chance to eat with my dad. Every time I wait, my stomach growls and that will be it. My mom forces me to have dinner soon and go to bed so that I can wake up and go to school without any hardship. Once I lie down on my bed, I hear the door bell. That became routine since the Kira thing.

I ran to open the door when I heard he bell.

"Welcome home, dad!"

"Aa.."

I closed the door behind him and went to the dining table. After a few moments dad joined us and we had our lunch. Only casual talks were all that lasted; nothing important, particularly relating to the creature. It was not like any one other I and Light knew about it, that is what I think, so I was just trying to link up the small conversations to the thing. But there was nothing out of ordinary.

After lunch I was free and Light went back into his precious room and closed his door. So I was just lingering all over the house waiting for Light to leave. I can't wait any longer.

I was in the living room lazing around when my mom called me, more like shout out my name. And I ran to her.

"Your laziness is worse than anything, Sayu. It's sickening."

What did I do this time? Seriously, I had no idea what she was getting so angry about.

"Light asked me to tell you to collect your books from where you left them."

N-No way! But I had planned to..

I can't do anything now other than going and bringing my books back.

And I did just that. I went up the steps and knocked on the door of Light's room. Also I was very angry with my brother. He did not have to complain to mother for something as simple as this. He got me scolded.

He opened the door. I walked in and put all my books one upon the other. I did not look at him. I didn't feel like it. Some brother he is. I carried all of books at a time. And I wished so much they won't fall out my hands. That would be so embarrassing. But then again, I did so to let him know that I was sad and angry with him. I was so upset.

When I successfully made it out of the room, I was so thankful to all the Gods above. Then I remembered that the fate and they were the reason for everything. I may be a little forgetful at times. But this was not one among those. I wanted to check his room if I could get anything connected to the creature.

I have to know if I'm being under a bad hallucination and I am imagining everything for myself or if it is real. I heard my talking to it earlier, yet I still am not able to convince myself. I thought if I get any proof of it, I can discuss this with Hotaru. She has always been a good friend of mine. And I knew I can believe her totally. She would not tell anybody just like my brother wanted. The matter would stay between us.

I let out a little grunt soaring in my ever ending thoughts. I was in the door way with all my books then and my brother noticed it. I heard his footsteps as he walked towards me, probably to help me carry my books. But I walked away headed in the direction of my room with quick steps not giving him the chance. I heard him sigh behind me. After that he called out to me.

"Sayu."

His voice sounded demanding, but I didn't even turn my head and reached my room. Finally, I thought as I kicked the door of my room open. I went inside and placed or rather let all the books lay on my bed.

I closed the door a little harder than usual. I pissed after all. Sadness was what I felt more than anger. He helped me a lot today and seriously, why did he have to do something so shitty, I asked myself.

I decided to sleep for some time. That should help me. I checked the time, my clock said it's 3:40 pm. Good, I thought, I can get a good three hour sleep.


A/N: Next chapter starts with Light's POV and a little insight into his brotherly concern. Please look forward to it.

I know this chapter is very long… but I didn't know where to stop. I felt like starting off the Light's POV, I said just about right in this chapter. But that will make it too long. Or tell me what you think is a good chapter length. If this is, then I'll do chapters with around this length from now on.

Also sorry for the long wait. It was because of exams.

By the way, English is not my mother tongue. So if you guys find any grammatical errors or any suggestions regarding the usage of language, please tell me. I am really poor with my spellings but thanks to the spell-check.

Well, is there anything else? Yes, there is. Help needed with the plot. Any thoughts and ideas are valuable.

And please leave a review while you leave. Tell me what you think of this up until now.

Meet you all in the next chapter.
