Sugar and Spice

Chapter 5

"Hey, Light? Can you help me with my homework?" Sayu asked through Light's door.

"Yeah," he answered, opening it. "What do you need help on?" Light gestured for her to come inside.

"Quadratic equations. I know you're busy, but I'm like the only one in my class who doesn't get it." Sad, but true. Sayu could break into some of the most secure locations on earth and kill the soulless scum of humanity, but she didn't understand math. Otherwise she wouldn't ask Light of all people to help her. But he was a genius, and the best way for a genius to learn was from another genius.

As Sayu walked into the room, she paid no mind to the shinigami laying on Light's bed, despite the fact that she'd never seen a real shinigami before. Not looking at the ugly creature, Sayu forced herself not to flinch as it spoke. "Hey, Light. There's something weird about your sister. I don't see a Death Date, but I know for sure that she doesn't own a Death Note; I'd see her shinigami otherwise."

Light stiffed at its words. "Something wrong, Light?" Sayu asked him, mocking him in her head. He had no idea she was making fun of him.

"It's nothing." He gave her one of his fake smiles, the ones that she absolutely hated. Stupid bastard.

L's PoV ************************************************** *

L was sitting at the coffee table in the living room of a random hotel in Japan. It was a rather peaceful evening.

Well, it was until a black-suited figure crashed through the window and into the room.

The glass buckled inward, shattering as hard boots came in contact. The figure did a graceful flip before landing in front of L. He took in her long, brown hair swept into a ponytail with a red ribbon, recognizing her from the security tapes. It was Spice.

She cocked her head at L. "Hello. So, you're L. Nice to meet you." She said in fluent English. "I'm Spice."

"Hello, Spice-chan. Is there any reason why you couldn't use the door if you wanted to speak to me? Or even contact me from a computer?"

"I like windows. Their smash-able." She shrugged, and then sat down in front of L. Spice messed with the goggles covering her face. "Sugar wants me to make contact with you. She's paranoid, and I don't care, so she sent me to act as a bridge between our two groups."

Just then, Watari raced into the room with his gun drawn. He pointed the firearm at her. "L?"

"Watari, please call a repair man so one can come in the morning to fix the window. Now, Spice-chan, why is Sugar-chan so against Kira. They both have the same twisted sense of justice. She mentioned something about living victims, but I believe she has more than one reason."

"You're right, L. The hatred Sugar has for Kira can only be compared to a sibling constantly being one-upped by the other. Sugar has a childish mentality—she has been constantly degraded and underestimated by Kira. No one knows that she's a genius. And this pisses Sugar off. So, she'll do anything to destroy Kira."

"You make it sound like not only Sugar knows who Kira is, but that they are brother and sister." L became extremely curious. If he could get Spice to share who Kira was, the investigation would go so much faster…

"Yes to the first, not sure on the second. Sugar kept Kira's identity a secret from me. Says she doesn't have any evidence." Spice then tilted her head to the side, listening to something. "Got to go, Sugar's now pissed that I shared so much."

L's eyes widened a fraction. Spice had a wire on, and he didn't even notice! She stood up and stretched before walking to the window. "Spice-chan, you can use the door this time."

Spice winked at L. "As I said before, windows are fun." With that, she ran full speed out the window, into open air.
