Hey people! *Ducks* Bad people! Bad! No throwing tomatoes at me! At least throw chocolate… I know this is really, really late, but I had exams and put all my efforts into them. Then, horror of horrors, my laptop broke. Yea, broke! It still is, unfortunately, broken because the piece needed to repair it is like 80$, so I'm on the family computer. This means updates will be slow, even though I will try to update more now that it's summer. I'm really sorry people for the inconvenience, I feel so bad. Without further ado, next chapter!
"What did he just call you?" Kaori asked, her racoon eyes narrowing in confusion.
Ryuuk chuckled. "How are you going to get out of this one?"
Light, well Raito since they were speaking Japanese, paid the punk-girl's words no heed, his mind set on the two girls who were mysteriously appearing everywhere he went. "Since when do you two even go to this school?"
"Since a bit after we moved here, we do need an education you know." Mika stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Well, worlds to be more specific.
"Umm hello! Anyone going to answer my question about the name thing?"
"Oh, uhh, well… How to explain this..?" Mika cast a glance at her adoptive sister.
"Well, we have two first names. But it's confusing so we only use one or the other. Technically, I'm not Krissia or Kasumi; I'm Krissia-Kasumi. Misaki here is Misaki-Mika. We told you how we are only half-Japanese, right? Well our parents wanted to combine the two cultures when they named us. Therefore lies our half English, half Japanese names."
Confused looks were directed at Krissia, well Krissia-Kasumi if you believed her story, which was not true. Mika, even though she was just as confused as the others, smiled and played along. "Yes, it's all very confusing, so call us one name or the other."
Kaori simply shrugged. "Okay then. Who's the hot guy?"
Mika grinned to herself, she was liking her odd classmate. "This is Raito Yagami-san, he's a student here. And I guess you could call him an old friend of ours."
"Of course, you've barely spent any time in Japan, but you know one of the hottest guys here. I think I am liking my decision to befriend you Mika-chan, very much so…" She eyed Raito with a wicked smile, which made him shiver. When he began backing away, Kaori began laughing. "Don't worry boy, I'm kidding. Now how about you park that skinny but of yours on a seat?"
Raito hesitantly sat. "You know, I'm similar. I too have two first names. I am Raito-Light."
So that explained it! The girls had always puzzled why he was Raito in the Japanese version of Death Note but Light in English. Raito didn't even mean Light in Japanese, Karu did. Raito actually translated to Wright, well, usually. Raito sometimes meant Light, but it still confused the heck out of them; Japanese could be so complicated.
"Yep, Raito-Light Imagay." Krissia said in English, laughing.
"Imagay?" He knew enough English to understand that.
"Yagami spelled backwards." Krissia explained, back into Japanese.
Mika felt bad that her sister was torturing innocent Light. If Light were Kira, she would be less sympathetic, but he wasn't. Krissia still enjoyed torturing the L-killer though, even if he wasn't an L killer yet. "You know," She interrupted. "I guess we have something in common, with our parents giving us odd names and all."
"Except me!"
"I was talking to Yagami-san, not you Reiko-chan."
"But I'm so much more important!"
The group laughed, causing people to look over at them. What an odd group, they thought. A genius, (for many of them knew Raito's reputation as a genius) a punk, and two girls who don't even look Japanese!
"Sister, I do not know where I am. I remember falling, from the sky, with my brother. It knocked me out, and I awoke here, without him. Where am I?"
"Japan."
"Japan? But I'm from Canada!"
The nun furrowed her brow. This child's story was so odd, so unreal, and yet the child's voice rung with truth. It was utterly perplexing. But the nun had at least one logical explanation, well it was logical to her. "Perhaps it is the Lord who sent you?"
Kaiya was slightly surprised. In Japan, she knew, Christianity was a minor religion. It was odd finding a nun in Japan, but she didn't question her luck. "No, it was not the Lord." She closed her eyes, and that gruesome face appeared once more in her mind. "It was some sort of demon, and it was a horrible one. It called itself… Shinigami?"
The nun gasped and crossed herself. "The Gods of Death!"
"Gods of Death? I've never heard of such a thing in the Bible."
"No my dear child, the Gods of Death are from Japanese religion. You say you were sent here by one?"
Kaiya nodded mutely. A God of Death sent her here? Was this the afterlife?
A knock resonated through the orphanage and the nun rose quickly. "I'll go get that." She said, glad for an excuse to get away from the girl sent by Death, if the girl's words were true. She opened the door, finding an unfamiliar man, huddling to himself in the soaking rain…
Officer Lee was annoyed. Here he was, standing in front of the only Catholic orphanage even though he was Buddist, ready to enter. Matsuda had pulled a few strings, although that clumsy man did not have many to pull, and now Lee was stuck knocking on every orphanage door, looking for children who supposedly went 'missing'. Lee suspected it was just a couple of runaways, perhaps a nephew and niece of Matsuda's, which would explain why he was searching for them. A nun opened the door, and Officer Lee could see fright in the Sister's eyes. But cops feared many people, so Lee was not surprised. "Hello Sister, have you perchance picked up a girl name Kaiya Michiko?" The nun crossed herself, causing Lee to wonder what a child could do to make a nun cross themselves at the mere mention of that child's name.
"Yes, she is here. I'll go get her." The nun quickly went up the stairs and returned with a very confused looking young woman. She looked so innocent to him, with her blond locks of hair and her eyes that reminded him of the light of the sun, that it made him wonder why the Sister seemed to fear her. But, whatever the reason, the girl was Matsuda's problem now.
"Kaiya?" The girl nodded, uncertain. "I need you to get in the police car with me, I'm bringing you home."
Joy seemed to brighten her up. "Home? Really?"
"Yes really-" Suddenly, Kaiya was no longer there; she was running for his cop car. Lee couldn't help but laugh.
