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.

Destroy She Said

Chapter Five : Sibling

Sayu was born the year Light and I turned five. Or really, Light turned five—I was going on twenty-something. (Not that anyone needed to know that) Out of curiosity, I did some digging and I discovered that the date was June 18th and here's the shocker…1993. Meaning, me and my older-brother-by-twelve-minutes were born in 1989. But I'd died in the fall of 2014. Now, how the C.A.P.I.T.A.L 'eff' did that make any sense?

There was only one logical explanation: being that not only was I a body snatcher—nope. Turns out I was also a freaking time wizard. Surprise! Okay, well maybe not. But at this point, I just felt like universe was saying; 'Well screw it. She's already defying the laws of nature, so why not shake up the snow globe that is Minori's (Molly's) life a little more and watch her flounder around?'

Either that or maybe I was in a coma. I couldn't one-hundred percent remember how I'd died but maybe it involved cranial trauma? It took me only half-a-millisecond to dismiss this theory. Dreams weren't supposed to be so cogent—and if this really was all fantasy then I direly needed to replace my brain because creatively, this was…lacking. Where were the explosions and car chases and flying dinosaurs? I refused to believe my imagination sucked so bad.

Which left me where? Mostly with a headache—but also with the inference that god, kami, Buddha…the universe—just whoever was holding a grudge…they hated me. I wondered if I should file a formal apology, just to reconcile for whatever I did to piss them off. Maybe then I'd get some answers that didn't resonate in tiny, bursting aneurysms whenever I tried to think too hard.

oooo

One mini-freak out and several days later, I was lying facedown on the floor in the nursery, missing the days I could have just demanded comfort from my mother without having to explain why I needed it. Sayu had developed colic over a week ago, so it wasn't like Sachiko had much time to spare anyway. Not that I blamed her—Sayu was one fussy baby. Even worse than the combined powers of me and Light. I decided I liked her though. She looked a lot like Mom but with darker coloring. I didn't think Light shared my opinion. He glared a lot—at least, he did when he thought no one was looking. Maybe it was all the crying she generated. I didn't worry. He'd grow up and she'd grow out of it.

Speaking of which, my brother was currently out of the house with Dad. I hoped he'd get back soon. Being alone meant I was thinking and as I'd already established—thinking lead to brain palpitations. And also depression, apparently.

oooo

It wasn't unusual to find Light in my bed come morning, or me in his. When it wasn't him invading my room it was surely the other way around. At least he had the excuse of being a child to fall back on—taking into account my previous life as an adult, I was just pathetic. Sharing a pillow was a habit picked up in infanthood that our parents had unintentionally nourished by often placing us in the same crib. Back when I had first compared Light to a limb, I'd meant it. I felt enormously uneasy without him nearby. I think this is what people call dependency; but it wasn't like I had a choice. As uncouth as it was to liken my twin brother to an addictive—it was a damn close comparison. And a damn accurate one too.

I used this knowledge to justify my actions as I once again crept into Light's bedroom. Aside from the fact that I was a grown woman impersonating a child, there wasn't anything wrong with this.

Yep. Keep telling yourself that, I thought begrudgedly as Light pulled me under his blankets by the wrist.

AN: Okay, so fun fact. I tried to upload a version of this chapter last night but I ran into a snag. Basically, long story short: I uploaded the wrong doc while also forgetting to save the correct doc, thus losing a day's worth of writing. Ugh. FRUSTRATION. I apologize for the confusion-but I promise chapter 6 will be both longer and more satisfying...maybe.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts ;)
