CHAPTER 2
When Light got home from killing Raye Penber, before he even stepped into the yard, he said, "Ryuk, go to my room and wait. I need to talk to Sayu first and then I'll bring her up to talk with you."
Ryuk said, "You'd better make all this worth it with plenty of apples."
"Don't worry, Ryuk. From now on, both of us will be bringing you apples."
Light smiled as he saw Ryuk fly up, land on the roof and sink through it. It was really lucky that there was an easy way to manipulate the shinigami, at least in small matters.
Light snuck in carefully and found Sayu still watching television. He draped himself over the back of the couch, hidden right behind her, and said, "This is why you don't get high grades."
Sayu yelped from surprise and then picked up a pillow and threw it at him. Light grabbed the pillow and threw it back so hard Sayu was knocked off the couch. Sachiko heard the noise and came in from the kitchen with a frown on her face, but when she saw Light she smiled and walked right to him.
She said, "Oh, wow, my perfect little boy does stop doing homework once in a while. I'm surprised! Do you want some cookies?"
Light bristled at being called a "little boy." He was nearly eleven!
But he smiled sweetly and said, "No, Mom, I want more apples. I've been reading about how healthy they are for you. Can you start buying a lot more?"
Sachiko rubbed the hair on top of his head, another annoying cutesy mannerism, but the next thing she said completely made up for it and made Light's heart warm with pride.
"Light, you're perfect in every way! A mother couldn't hope for anything better than you."
Yes, perfect. She knew it. And soon, the world itself would be perfect. All the ugliness would vanish and there would only be perfect people left. Perfect people like Light Yagami.
Sayu said, "Well, I want cookies!"
Light said, "Sayu, let's get cookies and apples, and then we can finish playing that game, okay?"
Sayu managed to fit five cookies in each chubby hand, and she alternated bites from one cookie to another as Light loaded up his backpack with apples and then got her alone in the living room. When Light was sure his mother was out of hearing range, he lowered his voice and said, "Now, you get to be a super-secret spy on the same side as secret agent Light, and I'll tell you my biggest secret, but you have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?"
Sayu said, "Okay," cookie crumbs falling from her mouth and her eyes shining with anticipation.
Light said, "You've been specially authorized to know that a Christmas angel follows me around. Now he's hiding in my room and I want to show him to you, but you have to be very careful. If you tell anyone who isn't specially authorized about him, then a kitten will die. This is very serious. You don't want kittens to die, do you?"
Sayu said, "Nooooo!" but Light could tell by the look on her face that she thought it was just another game and was anxious to start playing. He hadn't paid this much attention to her during one day in quite a long time. It must be quite exciting, being allowed to bask in Light Yagami's presence.
Light said, "Now, this Christmas angel is completely real, so don't be startled. His name is Ryuk. Let's go see him."
Light went up the stairs and Sayu followed after, still doing her trick of taking one bite from each of the many cookies she was holding and then starting at the beginning again. Crumbs and even chunks were trailing all over the floor.
Wow, Sayu's messy! It's a good thing that Mom does nothing but clean house all day and never complains or has any will of her own. Someday I'll marry a girl just like that.
Then, when Sayu entered Light's room, Sayu stopped and let loose a bloodcurdling scream.
Light said, "Sayu, be quiet! Remember the kittens!"
Sayu let out a little whimper and her eyes were very wide. Light wasn't even sure if she'd understood what he'd said. Her eyes were fixed on Ryuk.
While Light quickly pulled off one shoe and sock and placed the sock on his hand, Ryuk said, "I know I'm ugly. I'm like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. All the other Christmas angels think I'm awful, but I'm really a wonderful guy."
Sayu said, "Like Rudolph?"
Just then, Sachiko ran into the room, creases of worry on her forehead. She said, "Who got hurt?"
Light held up the hand with the sock on it and said, "I just scared Sayu with this puppet, sorry!"
Sayu looked at Ryuk again, doubt in her eyes.
Light made the sock puppet say, "Kittens, Sayu, remember the kittens."
Sayu laughed and said, "Oh, Mom, Light scared me so much! He's really scary! But I'm okay now."
Sachiko smiled and looked at the mess on the floor where Sayu had dropped all her cookies. Sachiko said, "It looks like you ran out of cookies! I'd better get the vacuum to clean those up and get you some more!"
As Sachiko left, she was humming a little tune. Housework always made her so happy.
After that, Sayu seemed to accept Ryuk's presence and everything Ryuk told her without any question, even though an awful lot of his Christmas stories revolved around how much Christmas angels needed apples.

Well, I didn't quite get to 17-year-old L yet, but don't worry, he'll be along pretty soon.
