It was one of those incredibly dull nights where nothing was able to hold my attention. It was one of those nights where I was not just peachy to be floating about in the dark with nothing better to do then wriggle my fingers. It was one of those nights where I was just dying to do something, anything. Light was asleep, bless his slowly corrupting soul, his chest rising and falling steadily beneath a plain, white, and thin blanket. It was kind of unsettling how serious he looked, even when asleep. His eyebrows were furrowed as if he were deep in thought. Weren't people supposed to look peaceful and relaxed? Anyway, I didn't have his engrossing voice to keep me company and because of that I was feeling pretty lonely. I was so lonely, in fact, and so desperate for entertainment, that I silently swept into the room next door, which just so luckily ended up being the little angel Sayu's bedroom. I had no idea that her room just so happened to be directly besides his. Really. I guess it doesn't matter if you believe me or not.
Anyway, I went into Sayu's room. It looked pretty much the same as any other average teenager's room, even if she had barely just hit her teens. There was desk shoved against one wall, reeking of mahogany. The school books she'd brought into Light's room so often were sprawled across it, open with some papers scattered here and there. Next to the desk was a bookcase which looked extremely empty when I compared it to Light's. A double set of doors were also visible, and I assumed that these could be pulled out and would lead into a closet, full of clothes. I didn't understand why humans needed so many. My outfit was stylish and sleek and I had no hassle trying to find something else just as nice as they all did. The centerpiece of the whole room, however, and the first thing my eyes were drawn to was the bed and the small lump in it, otherwise known as Sayu.
One dainty leg, slim and pale, hung out from beneath a childish looking comforter; it had some white horses with horns that shat out rainbows. Her foot barely brushed against the cold ground. I noticed that her toenails were had chipped black paint on them. I moved forward, closer to her barely moving form, curiosity getting the best of me. I needed to know this girl inside and out; I needed to know what made her her. I needed to have a good source of amusement; She and her pain would be like that television program all the kids clamored around to see. Closer and closer I moved until I was hovering directly over her, my face so near hers that I could count each individual eyelash; that I could see every pore in her no doubt greasy face. Her breath was hot against my skin and I stared and stared , trying to remember every inch of her I could. I don't know exactly how long I stayed in there, but it must have been hours.
All of a sudden, she spoke and I immediately flew back with wide eyes and my jaw hanging down to the ground. I had forgotten that she couldn't see me, evidently. And, I wasn't yet aware that humans could talk in their sleep.
Actually, she screamed; She did not talk.
Sayu had sat straight up and her eyes shot open. A screech, an ear shattering screech, tore out from her mouth. For a second, I stood there stunned. Her head slowly turned towards me. I swear I heard creaking, like her neck was on a rusty hinge. The creepiest part of all? Her eyes flashed over and met mine for brief second. I stared back, completely taken aback and at a loss of what to do. Could she see me? Had she touched the Death Note accidentally? There was no fucking way, especially with how Light guarded it with his life. Almost as soon as it happened, her eyes slammed shut once more and she slunk back down and into her bed. A thick silence settled in the room and I still just sat there, waiting for the light tread of her mother's footsteps to come check on her darling. Nothing broke the quiet, however, except her uneasy breathing. It was like I had dreamt up the whole thing, if it were possible for me to even do such a thing.
Still, I couldn't help but think she knew I was there, somehow, and as I floated on back to Light's room, my entire body appeared to be shivering with excitement. She was a screamer. How exciting. I'd have to think of a way to quiet the bitch down when I took control of her. With my mind reeling, I settled down in a cozy corner of Light's room, letting my eyes linger on him. He'd wake up soon, and I could ask him if talking in ones sleep was normal. As I noted earlier, I now know it is. But for the remainder of the night, I was fine to just wait until morning, Sayu's tiny and fair body appearing in my mind over and over again. I just could not wait to begin my fun with her.
