Chapter 20: The devil himself

I sat there frozen to the coffee table as I stared up at Light, I glanced at the girl; now I knew why she looked so familiar. "I should have known…" Shivers ran down my spine as I forced a fake smile onto my face.

"Hello Light." I said crossing my arms over my chest with a knowing look, he stared at me as his eyes narrowed; the red glint echoing of the back of his irises. "Nice to see you again, no apple this time?" I said picking an apple from the bowl in the middle of the coffee table and throwing it at him which he caught. "You should always have one with you, if it helps out the brain so much." I turning back to Sayu who was staring at me, her eyes full to the brim with questions.

"Hail….how do you know my brother?" She asked sweetly.

"Well you see Sayu, me and him at school once in awhile." I said calmly as I brushed some hair out of her eyes, I glanced at Light daring him to say I was wrong. He only smiled and nodded in agreement.

Sayu nodded and closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, I patted her head as I got up and walked towards Light who leaned against the doorframe.

Ryuk stood behind him like a guardian, he stared at me with curiosity.

"Was it coincidence that you run into my sister on the street?" He asked coldly giving me a dark look.

"Yes, she tripped and hit her head as I walked down the street. I'm sorry if I am annoying you with my presence Light Yagami. I'll just g-" The door then opened and Light's mom stood in front of us carrying a bag.

"Oh, hello…" She looked at me then Light then back at me again, her face split into a wide grin. "Light, why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?" Now I've hated Light for a long time, ever since I could remember so when his mother said that I nearly threw up right then and there but I held my composure.

"No Mom, she's a friend from school; she found Sayu on the way here, she coming to study with me since I tutor her." I glanced at Light as he lied as easily as I did.

"What's wrong with Sayu?" His mother brushed past us and into the living room where her daughter laid sleeping on the couch, she kneeled down and felt her head.

"She fell and hit her head Mrs. Yagami. She fell right in front of me so I thought I should take her to her house since I was already coming." I caught onto the lie immediately and added my own twist. I hardened as I saw how softly Mrs. Yagami was handling her daughter. "Why couldn't my mother have been like that all the time?"

"I'm afraid that your Mother has a certain condition that is not seen very often." I sat in the doctor's office, a lollipop shoved into my mouth as I tried to cry from the burning in my cheek; where Mother had slapped me. "It is quite surprising for two parents to have somewhat of the same condition, but unlike your father who knew he was doing bad things to you all those years." The Doctor said gulping slowly hoping I wouldn't get up and beat him up for mentioning such taboo.

"There is no name for her condition because it is so rare but let me tell you about it. Your Mother without the right medicine will black out and her insane side will take over, meaning that she has no clue that she's hurting you." I blinked in understanding. "That makes sense since she never seems herself when she's beating me."
"We can give you medication for her to that she won't hurt you anymore, just give one of these to her every four hours and she'll be fine." He handed a huge blue bottle to me, I sighed remembering that Mother already drained herself with medication for other illnesses.

"And Hailey...there's something you need to know. This condition that both your parents had...mixed together could be fatal if it ever broke over you, and when I say that it means you could black out as well…..I'm saying this for your sisters sake." I looked at him painfully.

"This disease can be inherited by the offspring, there is a big chance that you could end up just like them Hailey; do you understand me?" I froze in my seat and took a deep breath.

"He means that I could hurt Elizabeth unconsciously. Or it could happen later on in life."

I felt Light's eyes on me as I blinked shaking my head slightly as I came out of the memory. "Are you ok?" He asked obviously not caring.

"Shut up Light, we both know you don't care." I hissed under my breath making him glare at me in silent hatred.

"Well...Mrs. Yagami I should go….." I turned as their mother got up and grasped my arm.

"Please, stay for dinner. I need to do something to thank you for taking care of my daughter!" She beamed at me brightly, I stared at her unsure of what to say.

"Yes Hail, you should stay." Suspicion ran through me like fire as I looked at Light as he voiced his own opinion. I was trapped I couldn't leave now.

"Sure, I won't mind." I bit my lip as Mrs. Yagami went into the kitchen to start dinner leaving me and Light to stare at each other as we both leaned on the frame of the door, barely ten inches apart.

"If this is hell then this must be the devil." I stared into the red hinted eyes and smiled into the devils face. "Bring it."
