Secrets you've never know
Chapter 3: Beginnings and written sayings of pain
"Onee-san! You spoke!! I haven't heard your voice in years!" Sayu exclaimed as she danced around the house, Raito rolling his eyes at the sight. Sayu continued to rant about the 'miracle' as she danced into the kitchen.
"Your voice is so deep now! By the way, why did you talk to that guy? Do you know him? What did you mean when you said that? Oh, do you think the boy with him was his brother? He was so cute!" Sayu asked in a dreamy voice.
Raito glared at her, but Sayu just rolled her eyes. She took out the from the bags she was carrying earlier. Raito had removed his hat as he entered the apartment and his cat-ears perked up as the smell of the Sayu's preparations for sushi reached him, making Sayu giggle slightly.
Sayu smirked as she watched her brother gaze at the seafood, eyes glazed with hunger, tail swishing behind him. She moved the food slightly out of his reach, for protection sake, of course, and shook her head in amusement as Raito glared at his offender. He shrugged and left the kitchen, heading to his room.
Raito laid down on his bed, hands covering the back of his head, and drifted into thought.
'Sayu is right...Why did I speak? I promised myself I wouldn't talk to anyone as long as I lived! It's not as though I like him, I just met him and not by any means could I be with him...'
Raito closed his eyes and slowly drifted off, memories of long ago drifting into his mind's eye.
(Flash back)
"Hey kid, what are you doing out here?"
Raito, who sat on the ground in the middle of the rain feeling the shower against his unprotected against his skin, looked up to see a man with blue skin and bright yellow eyes looking at him. The stranger wore a long over coat and also had gloves, much like Raito.
Raito, happy his ears weren't noticeable in the rain, glared at the man.
"Go away old man" Raito spat.
The boy didn't want this stranger here, poking his nose around and possibly finding Sayu, who was currently in the cardboard box behind Raito with some extra clothes.
The strange man gave an even stranger laugh, 'Hyuk,hyuk,hyuk...'
"How old are ya, kid?" The man asked with a slight smirk on his face.
"Like I'd tell you. Now, go away!" Raito retorted, his glare hardening.
"If you say so Raito Yagami, age 8" The man smirked as the boy's glare dropped and was replaced with shock.
"How did you-?!" Raito started to panic thinking this man was going to take him home ...to those monsters.
"Relax, kid. Let's just say that I know a lot.." The man said. Raito glared at the man still.
"Go. Away." Raito said as he took out an apple and started to nibble on its surface. He noticed he suddenly had the man's full attention… or, better yet, his apple did.
"Hey, kid. If you give me the apple, I'll help you out with your 'cat' problem..." The man said, pointing to Raito's 'ears' Raito mentally cursed the man and his ears as well.
"What can you do? As you can see, I have nothing. What can you offer me for just an apple?" Raito asked, staring down at the ground. No one could turn back what had happened to him over the years.
"All you have to do is give me the apple and... go to school"
Raito's jaw dropped. 'This man must be joking!'
"Why do you even care? It's not like I have a home to go back to after school. Just, take the apple just leave me alone!" Raito cried, eyes welling with tears, as he threw the apple at the man who caught it with ease.
"What about your sister?" Raito's eyes widened
"You can't have her!" Raito yelled as his claws came out, his eyes having a crazy strained look, the rain only made him look horrifying, his soaked hair giving him a crazed look.
The man made no movement. Raito could smell that the stranger's emotions were calm and determined. This man didn't see him as a freak…amazing!
"I didn't mean I'd take your sister. Do you really want her living in a box the rest of her life?" The mans words struck Raito like a slap across the face. He didn't want his sister to face reality this way... he wanted her to enjoy her life and not face the fact that he was a monster.
"I can't give her anything... what I have to do is to make sure she'll be safe from those demons!" Raito's appearance hadn't change. His fists were clenched, making his claws cut into his hand, drawing blood. His eyes became watery through the rain and he ducked his head to hide his tears with the falling rain. "I want her to live a life without thinking I'm a monster..."
"Would you kill somebody if you could make your sister happy?" Raito swallowed deeply
"Yes." And with that Raito fell to the ground, his body heavy and head clouded
"Name is Ryuk, We'll meet again soon" And with that Raito fell into the dreamless world of unconscious. The next time he awoke, he wouldn't be standing in the rain, he would escape.
End of Flashback
When Raito opened his eyes, he instantly turned to his right to view the time from the clock beside his bed. He had only slept for an hour, which was strange as usually he slept for more than six hours. The neko-teen slowly got up from his bed and went into the other room to see Sayu mixing something in a large bowl, even though dinner was finished and waiting for him on the table.
Curious, Raito looked over her shoulder to see the beginnings of a small cake. The brunette scrunched his nose in a disgusted fashion, ever sense he became who he is now he couldn't stand sweets. Sayu looked over to him with a startled look on her face then a small smile came along.
"I know you hate sweets so no this is not dessert," She said as Raito raised an eyebrow at her, "It's for the man that helped us earlier. I decided to show some gratitude, knowing you would avoid do so when you saw him next" Sayu added with a evil grin that made Raito have chills go down his spine.
'I knew he was bad news! Now I'm stuck with the cake until I see him again.' Raito glared at the cake.
"Ok, Onii-san, stop glaring at the cake. It's not going to burst into flames from the heat of your glare. Besides don't you want to eat your sushi?" Sayu said teasingly as her brother turned his glare onto her and then nodded, eyes glazing over again as he head towards his meal saturated with seafood.
Sayu grinned and cocked her head, thinking about their day and the strange man that had saved her. This man could also save her Onii-san!
'Oh it has been too long since I've been a match maker! Hohohoho!' Her creepy smile, making Raito's tail swish anxiously.
After the meal, Raito and Sayu went to their rooms both reminiscing on their days and the strange people in them, though not exactly in the same context.
At school the next day both L and Raito were a bit anxious about seeing each other. Ratio was worried that if L started spending more time with him he would eventually take him home, and L was nervous just how Raito would react when they made eye contact if the words he heard weren't in his head.
L arrived an hour before the school started,
'I just want to confirm my theory. Nothing more' He thought as he walked to his class room. The room was empty, nothing on the walls, an order of seats in rows, and a window on the side with velvet red curtains laid aside. L noticed a small piece of paper on one of the desks. Curiosity eating at him, he walked over and began to read.
Alone in reality is very
Lonely for most, we
Loathe and feel jealously that
Yearns for freedom, to be
Obvious would be wonderful for
Us, to speak out loud, to be
Wanted for faults, for our
Arrogance and to think we will
Never be forgiven for our sins but
They would still want us for us unlike
Everyone who shunned us, sickened, and
Despise us, for our selves and left us to die.
L lifted an eyebrow, how very dramatic and creative. He casually shoved the paper in his pocket, forgetting about it easily enough. Unknown to L, someone was watching from the shadows, eyes filled with hate.
"You will pay, trying to take what's mine" L looked over his shoulder as he thought he hear a voice, he turned to see nothing.
'I must be losing my mind' L thought and didn't noticed light footsteps run away from the room.
Raito was walking to his first class to let his teacher know he will not be seen today but was not absence. Raito felt nose come over powered with the smell of chocolate covered strawberries, he felt his nose twitch as the appealing smell washed over him. The brunette closed his eyes in pure pleasure but snapped them open as another more putrid scent hit his nostrils. Rain and ash..not a good combination. For the scent to be this strong meant only one thing.
'I am so not in the mood for this!' Raito took off to class as a girl with blond hair and dark brown eyes stared around a corner longingly at him. She smiled grimly
"I won't let that man have you, Raito"
Raito shuddered as he heard the whispered proclamation and sped into class, almost knocking over someone in his haste.
Ryuuzaki!
"Raito-kun what are you doing here?" L was feeling slightly embarrassed of being caught off guard. Raito's eyes softened. He took out his note book and wrote quickly.
"This is my first class; I suppose you're the new teacher." L eyed Raito with a smile
"Will you be skipping? I've heard you've been known for skipping each class from the other teachers." L commented. Raito shrugged.
'I guess I could stay for one class' Raito thought as he sat down in his chair.
L gave him a mischief look.
"I'm glad Raito-kun wants to be in my class, would Raito-kun like some cake?" L asked pulling out a chocolate covered cake.
Raito immediately stuck his tongue out in displeasure.
"Raito-kun really does not like sweets" L sadly stated, taking a bite out of his rather large piece.
Raito cringed at the strong scent hitting his nose.
More people started to enter the room and were shocked that Raito was actually there. The girls stared at him with want, making L mentally cringe at the memory of when he and Raito ran from crazy fangirls, and the boys stared with envy.
Raito glared at each one besides L. The neko-teen's eyes widened and as the same horrid smell from earlier appeared.
'Too late!'
In a blur, a girl with blond long hair was hugging Raito with all her strength.
L felt his emotions stir, something he hadn't felt in such a long time.
Jealously.
