The house
Chapter seven; Indulgence
Light awoke to Shecka poking him in the face, his eyes slowly opened as he held a irritated expression. "Light…Light wake up!" She insisted, her breath was hoarse in his ear. Light managed to groan out a response. "What?" Light could almost see the smirk on Shecka's words as she threw a pillow at him, striding to the other side of the room casually. "It is Sunday; that means…?" She left the question hanging as she grabbed for her black jacket at the top of the bunk bed. Light threw the pillow beside him before snagging a blanket and pulling it promptly over his head. Shecka caught whiff of Lights laziness and ripped the blanket off of him, causing Light to shiver at the jolt of cold air penetrating his skin. "Light!" She scolded, glaring at him as she took the pillow right from under his head.
"Shecka, what are you-" He stumbled on his words, but Shecka placed a finger on Lights lips. "Ssh." She hissed out, aiming the pillow at Kyo, who was sleeping in a relaxed fashion while her body was fully sprawled on the bed. She was clearly out like a ironic light. Shecka sprung her arm back with the pillow in hand, taking a minute to confirm the cushions course. Then she threw the pillow straight at Kyo's head, the moment it made contact Kyo did a rather odd motion of flailing her arms around before entangling herself in the blankets, causing her to fall to the floor with a clunking sound. Shecka laughed broadly as Kyo untied herself from the snake wrapped blankets. "Since when am I a first person shooter?" She questioned with a glare. The brunette leaned in to her friend, smirking broadly before saying. " Since Chuggaaconroy realised that you aren't even a hole!" Kyo merely stretched and yawned, wiping the sleep from her eyes as she said. "Oh wouldn't you like to know."
Shecka gave a very confused expression before saying. "I know your holes, unless your actually a dude…I wouldn't be surprised." Kyo rolled her eyes before retorting back to her friend. "Shush," Her brow furred in a mock dramatic serious fashion. "There is a child in the room." She gestured to Light, who merely tilted his head in a confused fashion. To be honest all he wanted to do was go back to sleep, but these two would not shut up if their lives depended on it. "Child?" Shecka said in a questioning manner, looking at Light carefully with squinted eyes. "All I see is the pre-evolution of a hormonal teenage boy here," The teenager insisted, Light was either too tired or too confused to attempt to understand what Shecka had just said, but Kyo got the gist of it.
"Bloody hell you've been watching Pokemon?" Kyo questioned, grabbing a shirt, pants, and a few unmentionables. "Chuggaaconroy is doing a series on it." Shecka shrugged off with a hand wave. Kyo rolled her eyes and mumbled "Obsessed," and walked out of the room to the showers.
Shecka then adverted her attention to Light, who was attempting to curl back up into a ball and sleep for as long as he possibly could. The brunette didn't like that and as such she scooted up close to Light, close enough that he could feel the cool breaths coming from her mouth, and she shouted as loud as she could with a room rumbling voice. "Wake up you Pokemon!"
This caused Light to wake up suddenly, Shecka gave a little smirk once his vision clarified and said. "I would catch you, but I think I'll catch you when you evolve and have more hit
points."
Whatever she said, Light didn't understand. Oh the joys of youth.

"Why did you wake us up?" Kyo grumbled out, dressed in a white button up shirt and a pair of three quarter length washed blue jeans. She was still clearly sleep deprived as she swung her rope wrapped tope bag over her shoulder, yawning violently. Shecka merely responded with a mischievous giggle. Her outfit was a black mini dress with ice blue lace trimmings and black leggings. Shecka grabbed the back of Kyo's bag, causing the rope to tighten around her shoulder blade, emitting a little yelp from her friend. "Oh for the love of Kaito as a drape queen." She cursed out, grabbing the bag and keeping it tighter around her arm, making sure that Shecka wouldn't do a repeat performance if boredom struck her again.
"That would make a simply fabulous fan fiction!" Shecka insisted with the perfect gay man vocal tones. Light watched the two friends as they walked in front of him. He hadn't seen L today and Shecka insisted that they hang out today, but for what reason he had absolutely no idea. "Oh shut it," Kyo said, Shecka merely tilted her head upwards and laughed before saying. "I would make a great gay guy."
Kyo scoffed, letting the conversation go. "We all know," She rolled her eyes, flicking her friend on the shoulder. "Now why did you wake us up at such a unreasonable hour?" Kyo questioned. Light had to admit that he was curious as well, Shecka seemed to be anything but a early riser, but Light was the opposite of a all night and even he was still yawning from sleep. What time was it?
Shecka quickly flashed her watch at Light and Kyo, it read six in the morning. Light gave a confused expression before she explained. "Simple enough," Shecka said, though this clearly didn't explain enough. "Light, did you happen to see Yami when you were at the doctors office?" Shecka asked with the air that she already knew. Light half shrugged and her voice flattened just a little bit. "Well I figured that Yami is probably at the underground hook-up, so we ought to get there. This is a good time since not many people are up." She finished off, turning around and walking again. This time Kyo and Light didn't grumble as they continued.
~~~~~~~~~
The security at the Wammy house wasn't exactly what one could call the firmest. But it was firmly locked and security alarms were around the doorways which did make it hard to just stride in. Kyo already knew how to get out though. A window in the east wing of the house was always left propped open with a rock, making a easy exit for people who knew exactly how to get out of it. That didn't mean the journey to the bottom floor was made any easier however.
"Klutz!" Shecka hissed out as the slid past a door, Light had tripped and the fall had erupted a echo to be heard throughout the hall. She roughly held a arm out to Light and picked him up. "Be a little quieter, would you?" She asked, Light nodded silently and their journey continued.
Following this they went down a flight of wooden, feeble stairs leading to a labyrinth of corridors. Kyo automatically took the lead as they went through the maze, leading them through skinny passages through the breaks of brick. "It was Kyo's job to make sure that we could escape if things got too violent," Shecka explained to him as the crouched down and went through a hole in the wall. "Or at least back then. She knows this place like the back of her hand." She finished, then the rooms went silent again until they reached a room reminiscent of the inside of a windmill. There was a wooden staff holding the room together with a circular panel spinning. It showed the history of the old building at its finest. Time had stood still here.
"How is still getting power?" Light asked as Kyo jumped on the spinning platform, going to the opposite side of the room. "Simple enough, there is actually a small river at the side of the Wammy house." Kyo shouted from the other side of the room, pulling down a latter from the side of the room. "Most people don't know this room. But this house is hundreds of years old so they couldn't bother to part with it." She finished, ushering with her hand to come and follow her. Shecka jumped onto the spinning platform with ease, running over to the other side with Kyo. "Just like Legend of Zelda, only there is no guy to piss off here so it sucks." She joked as they waited for Light to jump. It wasn't a very high platform to go to, maybe a foot at the most, only problem is that it was moving and Light was nervous of the intimidating movements. He took a bracing breath and then made his move, causing him to stumble clumsily onto the stand. He then ran to the girls who were climbing up the rope latter, he followed them.
"Didn't think you had it in you, Light," Shecka taunted as they entered a small wooden room. "But I guess I will call you Link." She concluded, grabbing his hand and picking him up from the latter. It wasn't long before Kyo started making references. "Hey! Listen!" She began repeating over and over again until Shecka finally cut her off by saying. "Dancing naked Gorons!" Kyo finally shut her mouth after Shecka said that and they made their way to a moonlit window.
"We went all this way for a window?" Light questioned. The journey had taken the trio at least a hour to make it to a opened window that wouldn't be activated by a alarm if pried opened. "Yeah, that's the idea, hero of time," Shecka answered, opening the window and sneaking out. "Yami made it this way too," She said as the others came out, upon a questioning glance she pointed to small, trampled tree on the ground and said. "Yami would be the only one dumb enough to realise that stomping your foot into a tree means that someone obviously trampled it." Shecka explained. Light followed the two through a forest like atmosphere. Sunlight was poking through the trees as Light felt the dirt tread on his pants. He cringed as the cool soil scratched his knees. He was going to need a hot bath after this.
Finally, after about twenty minutes of walking, they made their way to a barbed wire fence that lead to the city. The trio scaled the wall and quickly found themselves in a urban styled world. They entered another maze of alleyways with trash cans and beer bottles lying in ecstasy. Light was irked by the atmosphere that this world held. It was so different than that of the Wammy house. Unlike the school it didn't feel safe, not in the least. He felt that he was at risk of being mugged and killed here. He leaned in closer to Kyo and Shecka who seemed to know what they were doing. Finally they reached a ratty club with a blood stained door. Shecka rapped her knuckles against it three times until a eye slot hole was visible.
"Name?" A gruff voice asked behind the door. Shecka gained a rebel like demeanour as she responded with attitude. "Hey, asshole. How about you let us in instead of trying to jack off behind the door?" This was enough for the gruff voice to chuckle deeply before answering. "Shit. I thought you had lost your touch with the goody two shoe look. But I'm definitely happy that you are still badass." He said, unlocking the door and letting in the trio.
They had entered a bar fully equipped with a few drug addicts and a bartender ready to make illegal dealings on the spot. The man who had greeted them turned out to be a adult in his mid twenties with broad shoulders and a rough look to him with dirty blonde hair and striking green eyes, he could be a con artist. "Shecka, Kyo, and-why look at what we have here." He took a look at Light and gave a little laugh. "Why damn. You recruiting for baby bad-asses?" He asked. Shecka smirked before saying. "If I had needed a baby I would have gotten you a long time ago," Her voice was snide and had the hint of an adults while she continued. "Anyways I wanted to talk to Yami. She doping up here tonight James?" The apparent James laughed and gestured to the back room. It was blaring with screams of pain and torture. "Doping and duelling tonight," He said, then he immediately looked over Kyo and said. "Damn, looks like someone has filled out-" He began looking at his curves. Shecka immediately whacked him in the face before saying. "Sorry, this bitch is mine." Then the trio walked over to the door. James continued to chuckle as he said. "Tell me if she becomes single!" Shecka ignored him but continued to smirk and kicked the door open.
"Hey Light," She said before going into the room. "Just…watch out, okay?" She warned him with a surprisingly caring tone of voice. Light did not get to ask her why before he was thrown into the world of drug addicts.
There were a few chairs on the side for the extremely drugged up victims with glazed looks in their eyes. But for the most part it was a very open room with people dosing and dealing while two people were fighting to the death in the middle. Light could smell the repulsing odour of drugs fill the room as a thick screen of smoke emitted to the top of the room. It was frighteningly real as people were passed out on the floor, some still conscious as they rested there, tongues open and eyes dilated while they felt the result of overdose.
Kyo and Shecka ignored this scene as if it had been apart of their daily lives and directed themselves to a corner where some dealing was taking place.
"How much for the lot?" A black haired man asked, leaning down to the floor and speaking openly, not caring about the fact that they were breaking about twenty laws at once, moral and legal.
"Two hundred, I aint going lower." Said a dealer with short red hair and a money hungry look in the eye. The black haired man tried to lower the price in a stupid manner. "Look lassie. It isn't like your dealing heroine. This is just pain meds you stole from your little pharmacy across the street. One hundred or I walk." He insisted, holding out two crisp fifty dollar bills.
"Look, I'll pay you two hundred for the lot. Right here, and right now." Said Yami while shoving the man to the side, throwing the bills at the lady who took them savagely, throwing the meds at Yami who threw them in her hoodie pocket.
She didn't look that good to say the least; her eyes were bloodshot and had a hungry look to them while she was dressed in a grey hoodie and long black pants that treaded around and made her look like the living dead. The moment she turned around Light could see that she had a disconnected look to her eyes. The same look that Brett had when he beat up Light.
"Hey! My favourite peoples!" Yami said in a drunk manner, slurring her words as she slouched around, already picking at one of her pain medication bottles. Trying to pry it open desperately.
Shecka glared at Yami with a look of disgust. "Well I see someone has gotten high a little fast." she clipped out, crossing her arms as her brow furred tightly together. "You'd be surprised how they improved crack over the months I was gone," Yami managed to slur out. Light wanted to get as far away from her as possible, this wasn't the same Yami he had met before. "One hit and I'm all ready to go out." She said, now biting at the medication bottle. Trying to open it desperately. "Damn it," She muttered out, hitting the bottle at the wall. Trying to get it to open merely by brute force. "This shit is tough." She cursed out. Shecka finally snagged the bottle from the drug addict and pressed it down before opening it. "Pressure and turn." She suggested before giving it back to her, Yami immediately began to laugh before swallowing five of the tablets. "You smart…people." She laughed out as she put the container away. Shecka managed to keep a scoff held down before saying. "So when are you planning on coming back? We sort of need you there." She stiffed out, Light began to cling onto Kyo as the conversation became slightly more heated.
"Never," She replied shortly, licking her hand to get the remains of the pills off of it and what Light could have sworn to be blood in the mix. It was disgustingly awful to watch play out. "Why?" Shecka asked back, Kyo took a few steps back as her and Light became apart of the background. "To simply put it I don't like L or that bastard Watari." She said with a vicious smile. "So your just going to waste away here?" Shecka said with a cheatingly calm voice. Light could tell that she wanted to beat up Yami on the spot and maybe even kill her, but luckily she put her emotions to the side as Yami continued to speak. "This aint wastin' away," The blonde said, opening up her arms to show a example of the room and world she was living in. "This is living!" Shecka managed to keep her arms back from punching Yami, but she did stiff out. "This is shit. You want to kill yourself? Fine. Just don't make your little round trips about the Wammy house if you do while your high, your dead to me." Then she abruptly turned around and began to walk out the door. "Come on you guys, we have to go." She stiffed out, the two followed. "We're finished here." She finished, taking no second look backs at Yami. Who was stunned for but a moment but then immediately forgot about the conversation and went back to her friends.
