A/N: It is officially time for Sarah to mess with Light. You can only imagine how great this will go. Well, enjoy~

"Raito!" Soichiro called as he entered his household.

I followed behind warily, glancing around. I didn't see any souls, just simply blackness besides the chief of police in front of me. A young voice piped up excitedly somewhere in the house, saying something in Japanese before rushing into the front entrance and hugging Soichiro. I realized this must be his daughter he was talking about, Sayu. She didn't know any English, so I didn't try to say anything to her.

Her father told her something in their native language before gesturing to me. The teenage brunette peeked around him to catch a glimpse at me. She smiled brightly. "Ah… Hallo?"

It was a heavily accented greeting, but I understood. I smiled a small smile to be polite and returned the greeting. The fact that I understood her seemed to make her happy because her face lit up. She then turned towards the stairs. "Raaaaito! Wareware wa gesuto o motte iru!"

Beyond appeared beside me. "That roughly translates to, 'Light! We have a guest!"

That demon is actually useful for something. If he wasn't here, then I would be in the dark when it came to what people were saying half the time.

"Otosan, anata wa hayaku kae~tsu ne?" a young man spoke as he came from upstairs. (Which Beyond translated to, "Dad, you're home early?")

This must be Light. He was quite handsome, I noticed right off the bat. He had caramel brown hair that was styled and cut neatly so that it framed his face. His eyes were a light colored as well, almost honey, and seemed just as sweet. He wore a dashing uniform that I assumed must be for school. It consisted of a formal, beige jacket, a white button-down shirt, a pair of brown dress paints, and a bright red tie. Overall, he looked very impressive.

He stood in front of his father, smiling a handsome smile. He cast me a small glance, only to see what I look like before returning his gaze to his father, exchanging more words in Japanese.

Envy rose up from the floor and looked up above Light's head. She looked up at me. "Uh…Sarah?"

I looked down at her in question. What could possibly be so important right now?

The shinigami rose a bony finger up towards Light. "I remember... Light Yagami- he's-"

Soichiro interrupted her mid-sentence. "Light, this is Sarah. She speaks English, so she's going to be staying with you for the night."

Light raised an eyebrow and looked back at me again, this time actually interested. "Really? Well, welcome to our home."

"Sarah!" Envy hissed, trying to regain my attention. "This is serious!"

I glanced back down at her before something caught my eye. Light had extended a hand towards me and smiled. He seemed sincerely happy to meet me, but somewhere in those honey eyes I detected something else. Suspicion? Irritation? Eh, maybe he's just stressed out. Soichiro did say that he had just started college and was at the top of his class, so he must be very busy studying to keep his image.

I accepted his hand politely, and we shared a firm handshake. He withdrew his hand and folded his arms to his chest, returning his gaze to his father.

"Kira!" Envy went on without my attention. "Sarah, I think he's-"

"So Dad, why is she staying with us?" Light interrupted the shinigami this time.

Soichiro blinked anxiously before looking down at his watch he wore on his wrist. "I wish I could explain it Light, but I have to get back to Ryuzaki and the others…" He turned towards and door and opened it, looking back sternly over his shoulder. "Make her feel at home, okay son?"

"Wait-dad!"

Before Light could get another word out, the door was slammed in his face. He sighed under his breath in anger, and I watched as he regained his composure. After a moment, he turned back to me and smiled again, though his eyes were still narrowed with irritation. He gestured towards the stairs. "Well, I might as well show you my room, since you are staying here tonight."

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, sure."

Light led me up the wooden stairs and into his bedroom. On the way I explained my predicament with my eyesight, and he seemed very calm and understanding. I really think he was the first person who didn't pity me for it.

"Well, we all have our strengths and weaknesses," Light had said to me. "You know, from being blind, one of your senses is heightened to make up for it."

I had nodded. "Yeah, I've heard of that. I've got pretty good hearing."

Light had then went on into how that's a pretty common trait with the blind, and even went into the physical reasons for why the blind are like that. He ended up catching himself rambling and let out a lighthearted laugh and apologized for getting carried away. I'm not going to lie when I say he's not too bad to be around. He might have talked a lot and analyzed things way too much, but at least it didn't feel like L breathing down my neck. I might actually enjoy hanging around him.

That was before I entered his bedroom.

"Well, here we are," Light announced, twisting his doorknob open carefully before moving to let me through.

I walked past him slowly, worried that I would stumble over something. Most teenagers didn't exactly keep their room spotless, so I was worried I might step into or onto something that I wouldn't want to. However, much like his appearance, it felt perfect- not a single item on the floor. Everything about him was perfect so far. I could almost say too perfect.

"Sarah, wait in my room while I go tell my mother you're staying here," Light told me as he pulled the door closed again.

"Finally!" Envy exclaimed, exasperated. The shinigami has been antsy ever since she saw Light. What could be so important that she had to try to interrupt my conversations every five seconds? "Sarah. Light Yagami is-"

"Eh? So Light has another girlfriend?" A new voice interrupted my shinigami for the third time.

I whipped my head its direction, coming face to face with a purple-tinged soul. Another shinigami? This one was dressed in tight, black clothes and had spiked, blue hair. He wore a single earring in his right ear, which hung down near his chin. His eyes, like Envy's, were a piercing gold. His pupils were bright red and seemed to bore into you. But his most noticeable feature was his wide, toothy clown smile that would probably cause children to cry.

"Who are you?" I asked after finding the right words. Really, his appearance was quite frightening.

"I could ask you the same question," the shinigami replied. "But what would be more interesting is learning how you can see me."

"See, Sarah? I was trying to tell you," Envy said, annoyed. "He- Light Yagami must be Kira!"

I crooked my head to try and catch a glimspe of my brother, but I found he wasn't around. It's not like him to run off. Well, I think it's not like him to run off. I've only known him for three days now. But still, it is quite odd. Sounds like a problem to ask my shinigami about. "Envy, where's Beyond?"

"Eh? Oh yeah, he went back check up on L," Envy replied before changing the subject. "Why are you not surprised? Kira killed your foster parents and your brother."

"Uh, I'm still here," the other shinigami added in as he waved a gangly, bendy black arm at us.

I switched my gaze from the other shinigami before going back to mine, trying to figure out who to answer first. It didn't take too long. Kira's shinigami sounded far more interesting to talk to than mine did.

"I'm Sarah. I have eyes that can see souls," I answered with confidence.

"Huh? I've never heard of anything like that," he deadpanned. "Anyway, I'm Ryuk. Nice to meet you."

"Ryuk, huh?" I mused before taking a seat on the floor.

Ryuk's form loomed over me and sent a shiver up my spine. Envy was about the size of an average male, but Ryuk towers above them both, standing at least around eight foot. He was quite intimidating.

But his voice wasn't that of a threatening nature, and actually sounded quite friendly and nonchalant. It had that rough undertone that Envy's had, but it wasn't too creepy. At this point, after seeing three shinigami and a ghost or two, it was almost normal.

"Does Light know you can see me?" Ryuk questioned and interrupted my thoughts.

I blinked. "No, not yet…" If he's Kira… I grinned and looked back up at Ryuk. "So, is Light Kira or not?"

"Huh?" Ryuk had picked up an apple from a nearby basket, holding it only by the stem. It was eerily familiar to how L holds things, I noted as I watched him lower the fruit to his mouth before stopping abruptly at the sound of my voice. "Oh. Sorry, I'm not allowed to tell you that. You'll have to ask him… Hyuk…"

He chuckled softly at the end of his sentence before finally lowering the ripe, red fruit to his mouth and digging in. I watched him chomp into it as if he was starving, but Envy had told me that shinigami don't need to eat, so he couldn't have been. Juice sprayed as he tore into it and it ran down his mouth and dripped from his chin.

I grimaced at the sight, covering my eyes with my hands. "Learn some manners. That's disgusting."

Ryuk crooked his head in an unnatural way to look at me before picking up another apple. "Want one?"

I stared at him for a good five seconds before shaking my head in rejection. "…No thanks…"

He shrugged. "Suit yourself." He then proceeded to devour that apple as well, which I looked away from this time.

Light came back in not long after, wearing the same warm smile as before. I noticed that he looked past me at Ryuk before making eye contact with me, pretty much confirming Envy's theory. "My mom says it's fine. We have some leftover dinner if you're hungry," He closed the door behind him. "So, tell me about yourself…"

I zoned off as my mind searched for things to do. I knew that this man was indeed Kira, but would it be smart to say, "Hey, Kira! I know you're Kira!"? I doubt he would do anything, and if he did, then L would surely catch on. And if he didn't, then he definitely doesn't deserve the title 'world's greatest detective'. Wait… L. That's it. Beyond can see L's name… My brain hatched an idea.

"Let's get down to business," I interrupted Light's rambling with a small, confident smirk. "I know your Kira."

His smile faltered a bit and his eyes flashed dangerously. Seriously, if looks could kill… Well, I wouldn't be breathing. Not long after, he let out a forced, lighthearted chuckle. "Me, Kira? That's pretty sudden. Where are you coming from with this?"

Oh, this could get fun. He puts on the perfect front to cover up that he's Kira. I have to say, he had me fooled. I pointed behind him at the shinigami engorged in his apple feast. "…I met Ryuk."

Light's smile vanished instantly this time and his stare hardened to one of an almost murderous intent. Well, not almost. He's probably plotting out my death in his head right now. "…You can see Ryuk?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Did I stutter?" Oh, I'm really pushing it. Beyond would be all over it right now if he was here.

"No. I was just making sure I was hearing correctly," Light snapped in response.

What a change in demeanor. "What, was it something I said?" I asked innocently.

Light let out a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, taking a seat on a computer chair behind him. "Look. Obviously you know some pretty important information. I really have no idea where to start…" He paused, resting his head on his hand in thought. "How's about this? How can you see Ryuk?"

"I have special eyesight that was given to me by my shinigami," I replied. "It allows me to see all sorts of things, from people to shinigami to spirits."

Light glared at Ryuk from the corner of his eye. "Oh? I haven't heard of anything like that."

Ryuk blinked in surprise. "Hey, this is new to me too."

Light didn't reply, instead returning his intense eyes to me. His elbows were resting on his knees, his hands supporting his head. "So you have a shinigami?"

"Yeah, she's standing right behind me." I pointed over my shoulder with my thumb.

"Is there anyway you can prove to me that you really have one? It's unfair that you can see mine, and I can't see yours," Light's voice was getting a bit friendlier, but he still had the eyes of killer locked on me,

"We aren't playing fair and unfair," I said nonchalantly in response. "And no, since I don't own a death note."

Light looked back to his shinigami for assistance. "Ryuk?"

"You should know by now that I'm not helping you with anything," Ryuk said in a tone that implied they've gone over his kind of thing before. "Looks like you'll just have to trust her."

"You hooked yourself a helpful one there," I commented sarcastically.

"That's beside the point…" Light muttered as he massaged his temple lightly. "So, you have a shinigami possessing you, and that shinigami in particular gave you this vision?"

"Well, if you want to dumb it down…" I said in response, twirling a raven lock around with my index finger and staring up at nothing.

"I was just clarifying," Light said defensively. "You don't need to be so sarcastic all the time. What we're talking about right now is serious."

"It is? I wasn't aware," I mused, dragging my eyes back down to him. "It's just Kira and shinigami. You probably know plenty about both."

"She's got a point," Ryuk stated from his spot on Light's bed. He was sprawled out with his elbow sitting up, supporting his gray-blue head as he listened to our conversation.

"Stay out of this, Ryuk," Light snapped angrily, throwing daggers at the shinigami with his eyes.

"He's got a mean temper," Envy commented suddenly, causing me to jump.

Light blinked with a perplexed look on his face. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, my shinigami just spoke and she hasn't for a while. It startled me." I raised an eyebrow. "Why does it matter?"

"It doesn't, I was just curious," Light said in a frustrated tone before changing the subject. "So about Kira. You aren't going to go to the police or anyone about me or about the death note, are you?"

Even though I could pretty much guess his answer, I asked anyway. "What if I do?"

Light's eyes darkened even more. "I would have to kill you, of course."

Aaaaand there it is, ladies and gentlemen. The death threat we've all been waiting for. Kira really gets straight to the point: no second chances, no propositions… Just that he'll kill me.

"You don't know my name," I countered with a small smirk on my face.

"I know a certain shinigami that would kill if either I or the second Kira was in danger," Light answered before raising an eyebrow. "Do I have your cooperation?"

"Tell him that I would kill him if he attempted such a thing," Envy threatened behind me, her tone serious for once.

…Where the hell is all of this coming from? Since when does this rotting thing care about me? The most she's every done for me is try and warn me about Kira… and she gave me my eyes… Okay, she's done a lot for me. But still, what she's saying goes against her personality. Maybe she's just saying all this stuff to threaten him and get him to back off. If that's her goal, it might work. I owe her one.

I gave her an incredulous look for show before turning back to Light. "Uh… My shinigami said she'd kill you if you tried something like that…"

Worry flashed through his honey eyes that were previously confident and deadly. "…Does she know that if a shinigami kills to increase the lifespan of a human, she will die?"

"Yeah," Envy answered. "But I don't like him. I came to this world to find someone who seemed to have a good heart, so I gave it to you. There's no way I'd let him kill you like that."

"…She's aware," I finally replied before snickering. "She said she doesn't like you."

Ryuk joined in my laughter, which did not amuse Light one bit. He already looked like he was going to come unglued. And to think I was commenting on how impressive and kind he was earlier. He looked as sane as a madman at this point.

Light took a moment to think over all the possibilities, his hands massaging his temple and his other fingers drumming against the arm of the chair. At closer inspection, I could tell that his skin was getting moist with sweat from how nervous he was, and his eyes were no longer sharp and dangerous. They were desperate. Look at this: Kira, reduced to a worried mess by a fifteen-year-old girl. It could make headlines.

"Is there any deal you'd be willing to make?" Light asked begrudgingly, as if the very words kicked him in the stomach.

"You have too much pride," I muttered and began to fiddle with my hair again. "Really, I have nothing against you. Y'know, besides the whole murdering thing…"

His eyes narrowed suspiciously at my words. "So are you saying you're not going to talk?"

"Oh no, nothing like that." The look of distrust and indignation turned sharper. I continued on offhandedly as my fingers twirled through my locks of hair. "I can tell you what I'm planning to do, if you're interested."

Light took a deep breath apprehensively, his eyes falling closed for a brief moment. "What do mean, 'planning'?"

"I'll just go ahead and admit it- I've met L." Light's breath noticeably hitched in his throat at my words. Wow, he's really nervous… This is almost as fun as messing with L was. "And it sounds like he's met you too by the sound of it. I have a…" I searched for the right word to describe my psychotic brother. "…friend, who can see his full name. If I end up liking you, I'll help you. But if I don't, then justice wins."

"What, you think this is a game?" Light retorted and gripped the arms on the chair tightly. "You want to see how far one of us will bend over for you?"

"Nah, just you. L doesn't know much yet," I answered coolly, which made him seethe even more. "But he can know a lot if you want him to." When Light's only reply was another one of his infamous murderous looks, I continued. "L has me stuck at that hotel until the case is over, and I don't like picking sides. But if I want the case to move faster, I'm going to have to eventually."

"Looks like you've got quite the predicament there, Light," Ryuk snickered mockingly. "Now you have to worry about L, Misa, and her."

"Thanks for recapping, Ryuk," Light muttered sarcastically. It seems my existence isn't something to be acknowledged right now, even though I am offering quite the deal.

"Kira, are you even listening?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow. God, how I'm loving this right now. "L is probably expecting me to walk in tomorrow and tell him that I found another shinigami attached to you after I told him one was attached to the second Kira."

Light's eyes slightly widened nervously. "You told him that a shinigami is possessing Misa?"

I shrugged, unconcerned as ever. "Could've been you."

He sighed in defeat, running a hand through his caramel locks. "…Let's just go to sleep for now. We can start over in the morning."

I smiled wickedly. "I knew you would see it my way."

A/N: Beyond went back to the hotel because honestly I didn't feel like writing about him today. Yep. In other words, Sarah is officially a pain in Light's ass. And no, Envy probably wouldn't kill for Sarah like Rem would for Misa. It's just like Sarah assumed; she was doing it to try and help Sarah. She wouldn't really follow through with it.

I really could have made this longer, but it was already 3,400 words so I decided to cut it off there before it got too long. I know this once was a bit slow, but hopefully it will speed up in the next chapter.

Also, sorry if the Japanese isn't accurate. I'm using the unprofessional Google translate, and I prefer the romaji over the kanji since I can pronounce it in my head. It all means the same in the end, so it doesn't really matter if it isn't the official way of writing it out.
