"Light!" Sayu yelled when she saw her brother. She ran to him throwing her arms around him. The tears were already running down her cheeks when she saw him. "I knew you weren't dead! What happened to you? Did they hurt you?"
Light got tense when she hugged him. He felt nervous and scared but, also, warm and happy. "I'm fine, Sayu. Nobody did anything to me." He was really nervous since Sayu had definitely changed from the picture L gave him.
Sayu was apprehensive about the whole thing since the man who kidnapped her all those years ago stood right beside them. She blocked her worry we she saw Light. She missed him so much.
"You didn't scare her did you, Mello?" L said staring at her almost in jealousy then shaking the feeling off.
"No more than I already have," Mello said biting into his bar of chocolate.
"Be nice to my sister, Uncle Mello," Light said squeezing Sayu before letting her go.
"U-uncle?" Sayu stammered. She did not like how this was turning. The blonde man before he scarred her mentally. She didn't like the fact that Light was calling him "Uncle".
"Is Uncle Matt and Uncle Near here?"
"Sorry kiddo," Mello rubbed Light's hair making him flinch. "Matty has a hacking job and Near is… Well, Near's being Near!"
L scoffed at him, "Near is out being a detective, while you're out doing absolutely nothing."
"I'm a detective too! I just am taking a break until an actual case shows up." Mello stuck out his tongue at them before proceeding to eat his chocolate.
Light smiled, "That sounds familiar." He nudged L slightly.
Sayu had a look of fear in her eyes. Her brother had changed. She didn't know how, but he had. She pulled his arm, "I don't want you talking to these people, Light."
He looked down into his sister's timid eyes. She looked like she could break at any moment. "But—"
"Don't worry Light," L said placing a hand on his shoulder. "Go with Sayu. I have some business to attend to and then I'll come and see you."
Sayu had started pulling him earnestly away. Light kissed L's hand before they were away from the two men. Sayu didn't see it she just wanted to get him home.
She got in the driver's seat of her blue BMW. Her hands were shaking when she moved to put on her seatbelt.
"Are you okay, Sayu?" Her thoughts were broken when she stared at her brother's face. He stared at her with deep concern, but something was different. She felt the hot tears slip from her eyes. "Sayu!" Light yelled rubbing her hair. He wasn't exactly sure how to comprehend all of Sayu's emotions. He barely knew her. "Why are you crying?"
She sniffled wiping her eyes, "Sorry. I guess we've both changed." She sighed stuffing her key in ignition and turning it. "Well let's try to start over." Sayu put on a fake smile.
Light saw through it instantly, "Don't push yourself Sayu." Light said settling in his seat. "I have something I have to tell you, but I'll wait until we're home."
Sayu arched one of her eyebrows. "Why can't you just tell me now?"
"Because Ryuzaki told me that he didn't how you'd react, so I have to tell you when we get home."
"…Okay?" She thought. After a few moments she forgot the comment, "So how's school going? Or did you stop going after you joined the police?" She smiled as she started driving.
Light thought nervously, "Um… Well, it's going great I guess."
"You guess? That doesn't sound like my older brother. What happened to all those hours of studying?"
Light rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "I guess I just suddenly lost interest."
That was surprising… "Did you break up with Misa?"
"…Yeah, she got tired of waiting for me to propose to her." I surprised him how easy lying was. Thoughts just suddenly came to him.
"Oh I'm sorry." She patted his hand, "You'll find that special someone soon."
"Speaking of 'special someone's', how's my sister's love life!" Light smiled wanting to get the questions off of him.
Sayu blushed, "Uh- well I've been thinking about you this whole time, so…"
"Oh," Light sighed a sitting back in his seat, "Well what about school?"
"Light you know I've graduated," Sayu muttered laughing at him. "Has it really been that long since we spoke?"
Light chuckled nervously. Longer than you know, Light thought to himself. "Well what are you doing now?"
"I was going to be a doctor, but… because of my mental health… It didn't work out."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Light didn't think much about it. She seemed perfectly fine.
"Don't be. You and Dad saved me."
Saved her? Light didn't really know what to think about that statement. They were left in silence.
Sayu sighed pulling her smile back to her face, "But enough about me. I want to know what's been happening in my big brother's life! Anybody else come into your life after Misa? How about at the police station? Tell me everything that's happened in the past year."
Light gulped. This was exactly what he wanted to avoid. "Um… y-yeah…"
"You've got to give me more details than that!"
"Well, Ryuzaki and I have been seeing each other for quite a while." Light blushed, looking down at his hands.
"R-Ryuzaki?" She thought about this. "I've never really heard a girl with that name, but if she's good enough for my big brother… I'd like to meet her."
Light arched one of his eyebrows, "Ryuzaki is a guy." Light said as if it were a simple response.
Sayu slammed on breaks looking at her brother in shock. She studied Light's face. "…Is he t-the man who flew you here?"
Light nodded happily, "I really miss him. He said he'd come by the house later, but I worry about him when he's not around."
Sayu heard car horns blaring behind her and she started to drive again. "Dad would be so mad at you right now."
"Why?" Light asked. "It's not like I did anything to him." He hoped.
"You know Dad hate homosexuals more than anything. You'd get that big 'you're going to Hell' or 'you'll get AIDS'."
Light had confusion written all over his face. He didn't think there was anything wrong with loving Ryuzaki. He knew he had heard Mello say "Go to Hell" more than enough times, but he didn't really know what it was. He was clueless when it came to AIDS, but he decided not to question it. He thought it would just stay the same for Ryuzaki. He loved him and that was it.
"Well, I'm not going to say anything against it. Though I'm not really surprised. You did always have to match when you wore your clothes and spent hours in the bathroom."
"I don't think those are things you can go by," Light said still confused. How could dressing nice and going to the bathroom determine that? He sighed in relief when they finally pulled into the driveway of the house.
It was in a thick forest in the middle of nowhere. The house itself was a log cabin and blended in with the trees. It looked beautiful to Light, though it wasn't as big as L's. When they were out of the car, Light trailed his hands along the smooth wood walking up a ramp until they were on a porch.
"Why a ramp instead of stairs?" Light asked.
"Because it's easier to get a wheelchair down a ramp," Sayu said walking into the house. The room they walked into was wide with hard wood floors. There was a couch and a loveseat with pink cushions that lined a coffee table in the middle of the room that sat in front of the television. Behind that was another table with four wooden chairs under it. There was a wall that looked back into the kitchen and a door that was open to the living room that connected them together.
"Home sweet home," Sayu muttered putting her coat in a closet by the door.
"Yeah, home…" Light sighed feeling chills. "S-Sayu…"
Sayu walked back into the kitchen grabbing a kettle and turning on the stove. "I'm making us some tea, if that's alright."
"It's fine," Light said wandering around until he stood in the doorway of the kitchen. "Sayu—"
"Maybe Ryuzaki will come and we can have tea together," Sayu smiled filling the kettle with water. "How long have you two known each other?"
"He tells me for quite a while… but I only remember past the accident." Light realized he'd have to use an indirect method of speaking.
"Accident," Sayu asked ears perking up as she put the kettle on the stoves burner.
Light looked at her nervously, "I can't remember anything that happened before I started living with Ryuzaki. I-I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, but I didn't want to upset you."
Sayu's eyes held mixed emotions as she stared at Light, "You can't… remember?"
Light nodded, "As far as I know, this is our first time meeting."
"How?"
"Ryuzaki told me it was because I was in some type of car accident." He didn't want to bring up the Death Note at a time like this.
She stared blankly searching his face and then turned away glaring, "You're lying."
"What?" Light thought he misheard her.
"You're not my brother," She growled.
"What? That's none sense, Sayu. I'm Light."
"No they only want me to think that," She muttered hugging herself.
"Who's they?"
"The kidnappers. He was with you… their leader… He probably paid you to come here."
"I wasn't paid! How can someone with the same face as me be your brother? I'm telling the truth," Light stepped forward slightly.
"You probably got surgery or put on make-up or something."
"Why would I do something like that?"
"For money."
"I'm not getting paid Sayu. I wanted to see you."
"Then to find out L's identity," Sayu shrugged. "My brother knew it."
"I already know L's identity."
Sayu rocked herself slowly. "I don't know! People like you always have some ulterior motive for something like this. You probably want to find out Kira's identity or something."
Light growled, "That's completely insane! I would never do something like that, and it wouldn't even matter because I'm Kira!" Light put his hands over his mouth forcing the laughter in his mind to arise. "I-I mean… I was or… I—"
Sayu stared at him in terror. She mumbled quietly, "Get out." Light still trying to find his words ignored her. She stood up and screamed, "Get out! I don't want to see you. Just get out and leave me alone!"
"But Sayu—"
"Get out," Sayu yelled as Light ran outside. He had tears sliding down his cheeks as he wiped them shakily from his eyes.
He heard Sayu crying from the other side of the door. Light fell to his knees and huddled closely to the door, "I'm sorry Sayu. I didn't mean to upset you."
Between muffled cries he heard her mutter, "Just go…" Light sighed sitting at the door letting his tears fall quietly as he listened to her sobs. After a few moments, Light stood up and made his way into the woods.
lol. this chapter sucked. I ended it lamely. I was trying to type fast cuz I'm babysitting (Don't tell any1).
Poor Light :( Sayu thinks he's consorting with the enemy, well he kind of is. If the eneny's Mello.
