Light couldn't understand the reason why would Maya be in Wammy house or he simply couldn't accept the fact that she was there as an orphan, he simply couldn't. Maya and hell even Dave didn't deserve to get orphaned. But well who get orphaned by choice but seeing Maya there made him think of his own house and the time he had spent with Maya and Dave. Maya was the closest thing to a sister he could get after Sayu. Actually he enjoyed Maya's company better then Sayu. He did miss her after her family has moved away but it was not that he wanted to see her in that position, he did not miss her THAT terribly.
Light could remember very clearly when Maya and her family became his neighbors when they came from another country. His and her father being friends, they both had also become very friendly especially as Maya regarded Sayu as her sister and they spent almost all of their time together despite Sayu being younger then Maya . He remembered those shopping trips, during the last days before they moved away, on which he was usually left alone at his house with Dave to baby-sit while others went shopping. He being an image of the perfect son had to endure it. Dave apparently asleep when his mother left him, but unleashing complete havoc when he woke up, and the flustered looking Mrs. Yagami, as she came home at the sight of the house.
"Light," his chain of thoughts was broken by an innocent voice, apparently Dave has learned how to talk.
" Light I should have known," Maya said, as she saw Light and as soon as she came out of her shock to see Light like that.
" What you are here too?" Light said meekly as Dave jumped into his lap.
" You both know each other, how interesting," a distorted monotone voice reverberated into the room.
" L you are doing this with her too, I can't believe you," Light yelled angrily at the empty room.
" I am doing what with her?" came back the innocent reply.
' Oh shut up," Light said and made his way to the door gesturing to Maya to come with him.
" I don't think that is an intelligent thing to do Light- kun," L stated at the fact that Light was inviting Maya into the room where L was present.
" You think that everything that you do is entirely intelligent," Light said furiously as he dragged a startled looking Maya in the next room with him.
" I don't think that I really want to see L, its all right if he does not want to show his face to me,'' Maya protested.
"No, he has been deceiving everybody for quite a long time now he must learn not to hide his face anymore and don't worry, all the children are introduced to him on their first day."
As they entered the room, Maya's eyes couldn't register anything in the dark with only the light from the laptops to illuminate the room. As finally her eyes grew accustomed to the dark, her eyes widened at the sight of the panda man in front of her.
With his panda eyes, curved back, no shoes , extra large clothes, messy hair he looks something like the eight wonder of the world a title which he could easily be granted if he showed his face to the public more often and if they knew who he was, he would surely become the ninth and tenth wonder too if he is not careful, Maya thought.
Dave who had been a little afraid of Mello did not even seem a little fazed by L's appearance he acted like a baby who was looking at a monkey for the first time.
L sighed as he saw that Maya had seen him due to Light's stubbornness and was about to turn away to the laptops when Dave caught his attention. He didn't know that the baby would come in too.
L walked over to Dave who was standing holding his sister's hand, Maya felt a bit nervous but Dave continued staring at L with the same curious look. L bent down and stared Dave with the black orb like eyes of his.
Suddenly out of the blue Dave slapped him square on the face, L having stooped to stare at Dave had placed himself in the close vicinity of Dave's hand.
Oh-oh!, Maya thought, this could bring trouble as she saw the shocked faces of Watari and Light knowing that she was mirroring their exact shocked expression.
He could remembersss
