A/N: I think this is the first time I've updated this in a year…maybe two, time kind of blurs together. I'm appalled at all the grammatical mistakes I made in the past, but oh well…what's done is done. Hope you like this, oh and I've finished the last chapter so I'll post it soon but it's not much pretty short and sweet (without the sweet). Read and review if you wish.
Rage is something no one can contain, and in the hands of a God…it's only that much worse…
"S-Sayu! What the hell were you thinking! H-How could you!" Raito was screaming at his little sister, fear masked by pure hatred and jealousy.
She smirked, her eyes glinted darkly as she looked at her brother, "It is simple really, I'm sick of it, I'm sick of them. So what are you going to do, hmm…? Tell father, tell the police?" the way she pronounced each an every syllable…it was like acid disguised as perfume, a mocking bitterness that burned. "Realize this, I am the one with power, and you are the weak human," she smiled sweetly as she turned her back on her nine year old brother.
"Right…because you can't be a human any more, you sold your soul, you've become tainted, nothing but filth," the girl whirled on the boy, her teeth grinding against each other. "I'm still smarter, stronger, faster, older, more experienced, and I still have a heart, which I believe you've lost," he smirked arrogantly causing the little girl to seethe.
"Right because you're Raito, the first born, the son," she sneered at him, how a child as young as her could express such emotions was beyond the boy. "I do my best, I work so hard and still they ignore me! I deserve their praise more than you, and don't you dare think I don't know about the lies you feed me! You have never been proud of me! No matter how hard I work, how good my scores are, you only care about being the best and only see yourself!" the girl was screech, hot angry tears feel from her narrowed eyes. Her fists were clenched, and her face was red. Raito started to tremble and back away from his sister.
His back hit a cement wall and he knew there was no way out. He found his sister talking to that witch and yanked her away from the invisible being. "Please, you don't deserve any praise, and of course I lied to you!" his damaged pride, and the want to retaliate were the only reasons he said that. But it was enough, enough to push things over the edge.
"Get away, get away! Stop!"
Yagami Raito collapsed in front of the work force, the chain between him and L was slack considering that L also fell to the ground from the sudden fall. The father of the teen rushed to the boy's side checking him over, before glaring at the pale detective chained to his son.
"See…you put to much stress on him, he probably hasn't slept in days," the detective shrugged.
"Yes he hadn't been sleeping but he has never seemed affected by it. It can't be stress, he seemed completely content while in confinement, even after his seeming confession," the rest of the investigation team nodded to that statement. The teen seemed oddly at peace in a cell for such a long time, and didn't seem bothered after the car episode. The teen never seemed affected by anything, even after a situation when an extreme emotion had to be portrayed; it was eerie.
"Yagami-kun was probably hiding it from us, you know, to show he isn't just a teen and he can work like the rest of us," piped in Matsuda, it seemed plausible, and the rest of the taskforce agreed. L sighed and carried the stressed and possibly exhausted teen to bed; of course this was after he was badgered about it for close to an hour.
He walked into the room and set the teen down on the bed, and began to look at the teen critically. He felt oddly cold, cold as death. L froze before grapping the teen's writs and searching for a pulse. L could feel his heart pounding in his head as he yelled for Watari. He ripped open the teen's shirt and pressed his ear against the pale and icy chest. He closed his eyes trying to discern any other noises from is own heart beat. For a moment he thought he could hear a faint rapid fluttering inside the teen's chest but with the arrival of Watari he lost the sound.
"Yagami-san has left, his daughter was attacked on her way home from school, she's in the hospital," he said quickly before noticing the desperate look on the man's usually emotionless face.
"I can't hear his or feel a pulse…and he's," the man started to rub his hands to bring some warmth back to them. "Watari, he can't be…be dead," the old man hurriedly made arrangements for a them to go to the hospital, in fact; L cleared of a whole wing for the two Yagami children. Perhaps he hoped that if they were together… After a machine was hooked up to Raito they saw that he did have a heartbeat but it was fast and small, irregular and fighting to keep going.
Yagami Soichiro was a mess, seeing his poor little girl with a bandage around her head and the news of what had happened to her…he was pale and sick. And now with the news of his son, with how much he looked like corpse, it was a shock the man hadn't started to bawl.
L observed to the two unconscious siblings, it was strangely coincidental that they were both unconscious. L was told that a man had been found dead close to Sayu, and that through overwhelming evidence it was clear he was the man that had attacked the girl. It appeared as if he had jumped the girl and she had fought back. They could see defensive wounds on her fingers and bruises all along her arms. L deduced that during or after the deed, Sayu must have retained some strength in which she found a rock and bashed the man with it till he died. She lost consciousness at approximately the same moment as Raito.
L rubbed his face; this was a bit much, a bit too coincidentally. Since the twin comment both seemed perfectly normal. He quit watching them after a few more weeks, but he learned a few things. Raito was as unexpressive as L, Sayu was full of fake smiles and migraines, and the woman of the house was possibly OCD. The second Kira came about shortly after, Raito started to help with the case, and apparently Sayu was expelled for calling her teachers idiots, bastards, pedophiles, and a slew of crude names. However she quickly found a new school, in which she seemed to have no problems in. Of course it also appeared that no one in the school had ever heard of her brother. Perhaps there was pressure or expectations for her to be as great as her brother. And her brother at this point, obtained a supermodel girlfriend whom he touches with a ten foot pole.
"Help…" L snapped his head up to look at the unconscious teen. He could have sworn he heard a sound come from over there. "Help," there it was again, it was rasp, so weak it could have been the wind. But he saw the slight movement of the teen's lips. He licked his lips as he got up to come near the teen. "Help…" it was a whimper, a plea, a desperate beg.
"What is it Raito-kun?" he whispered, he leaned over the teen was he waited for the feeble and barely audible response.
"Dark…help…lost," the teen continued in this slightly intangible stream of words. There was an annoyed sound to his left and he saw the Sayu was awake and glaring at him.
"You shouldn't molest the unconscious," she hissed at him before groaning and clutching her head in pain. "Fuck," ground out between her clenched teeth. She moaned and fell back against the pillows of the hospital bed. L continued to stare at her until she flipped him the bird. She looked over at her brother and she shook her head. "Raito wake up," she asked softly before turning away from both the males. She closed her eyes as Raito opened his.
"Where…What happened!?" the teen asked quickly as he sat up as he looked at the wires running all around him. L noted that his heart rate was that of a normal human's now, but where did all this strength suddenly come from? "Sayu, Sayu!" he gasped and started to get up but remembered the wires. "What the hell happened to her?!"
"Calm down Raito-kun, she's fine, woke up before you did," Raito's chest was heaving and there was an intense hate, a rage in his eyes.
"That bastard ought to rot in jail till he dies," he growled out as he glanced at his sister again.
"He's dead, she killed him," Raito froze and shook his head before scoffing and resting his head back down onto the pillow. 'You'll die soon L; I'll make sure of it.'
And besides, hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn.
A/N: oh do you know who it is now? Confused? The last chapter should clear things up and it goes fast-forwards through Mello and Near stuff. – no one of importance
