STORY SUMMARY: Being reborn into a Japanese story was bad enough. Being reborn as the twin sister to a certain notorious mass murderer, was another thing entirely. Told in a series of drabbles. Warning: Mild incest themes.
Rating: T (Subject to change)
GENERAL DISCLAIMER: It's not my sandbox. I'm just playing in it.
AN: I couldn't help it. This came out of nowhere. Just a short drabble - enjoy!
Chapter Three : Interlude : Secret
Light knew at an early age that there was something wrong with Minori. No, that wasn't right. There wasn't anything specifically wrong about her per se—just off. Light was smart. Very smart. His family told him so and his teachers told him so. Even the men his father brought home from work. They all said the same things; intelligent, bright, exceptional, the mind of a century. Light adored the praise. He basked in it. Though he was never one to lose face, it was easy to spot the genius lurking behind his polite smile.
But his sister—well she was different. In the sense that while Light boasted his intelligence, soaking in the admiration while also excreting an impressive amount of pride for that of an eight year old; Minori, she hid her brilliance. And she was. Brilliant. Light would've had to have been an imbecile not to notice. Perhaps in a different way him but even so. She caught on to things quicker. Like a fish to water; she was the first to speak—to walk—to read her first kanji. She appeared docile by nature, but when it was just the two of them, her façade sometimes slipped. It was as if Minori would go out of her way to be seen as nothing more than exceptionally ordinary. But Light knew differently. Her school marks hit the desired average every time. As if she was pre-calculating what grades the rest of her class would receive and from there decided just how much effort to put in.
Light didn't understand it. Didn't she want Mom and Dad to feel proud of her? That's not to say they didn't but it was obvious between the two of them which child they had higher hopes for.
Yes. There was definitely something wrong with Minori. But that was a secret he kept to himself.
AN: For anyone who is confused.. drabbles are sometimes told out of order—so don't get to worked up if the time line seems confusing. I won't be doing it too often but sometimes its just fun to write about something different. Anyway, what did you think of including more Light's POV? Any supporters?
