Misa didn't mind the earlier commotion. She forgot about how she was mad at Light for revealing her letter. And now that her secret's out, she doesn't even have to do something with him.

'Riiing… riiing… riiing… rii—'

"Misa-Misa speaking… oh hi, Mr. Yagami! Yes, I will be coming. Thank you…"

She gazed at the grey skies happily. Tonight, she'll meet her new family.

Chapter Five: I'm Your Otouto

-------------------------------------------

A gorgeous black car stopped in front of Tohou University's gate. Before its owner steps on it, Kiyomi Takada showed up out of nowhere and ran towards the car.

"Prince, how about we celebrate together?" she gleefully asked.

Light grunted. "Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to celebrate."

"Don't worry about her. She'll be gone for good. Her precious secret is now revealed. You don't have to—" Kiyomi stopped when she noticed that Light shot her a glare.

He turned back. "So it was your doing then,"

"Yes, and it was perfectly…" The car zoomed away immediately without her noticing that he was leaving. Why is he always like that?

Ryuk was snickering while Light was getting angrier. "You lost your precious slave because of your kanojo."

"Stop bugging me."

As the skies turn darker and rain began to pour down, he knew that the beginning of a more unpleasant relationship with him and someone is about to unfold…

-------------------------------------------

"Oniichan! I'm glad you came here! Are you excited about our new oneesan?"

Light only grunted as he took a seat beside his younger sister. "What's to be excited about?"

Their mom smiled gratefully at him. "I'm so glad you're cool about this, Raito-kun."

Not if I can help it… he thought as Ryuk followed his thought with a sinister laugh.

"There, there, otouto. Don't be so mean to oneesan!" he said aloud. After all, it was only Light who could see him. And an unadulterated sour look came from his handsome face. "Shut up, Ryuk." He murmured.

"Look, daddy's coming!"

Light just wished his little sister could shut her mouth for some time to leave him in peace. And he hopes that his new sister would be twice as quieter. And I'll make her quiet. She'll see… he thought again.

"How would you face her, otouto?" Ryuk bugged Light. "Is it a 'Surprise, surprise, we're gonna be siblings!' face with that dawning smirk, or would it be a cold shoulder?"

"That makes no sense." He snapped.

"You know you love making your oneesans-to-be miserable." Ryuk noted. "Ooh! You were quite concerned about her lately!"

Light glared. Yes, his burning stares are everywhere. And he wants to put his anger on anyone right now. If he could just write any name in the Death Note right now whether it is a human or shinigami… it would be Ryuk. He really came from hell to piss him.

"Oniichan, you give me the scares…" Sayu said. "Stop that glaring. You scare everyone here!"

"I hate having noisy women in the family." He muttered.

Sayu pouted. "Here he goes temperamental again…" she inched away her brother. "Why can't he be normal?"

Not long after that, Mr. Yagami came to their table. "She's here! Light, don't do anything stupid. Sayu, greet her properly. Let's all be nice to her, she's nice as well. Honey, your new daughter will finally meet you!"

Sachiko Yagami cannot wait any longer. "If only Raito-kun is a girl, I'd be the happiest woman alive…"

You can only dream about that, mom. Light thought. Suddenly, he smiled. That nomad would be surprised. I'm pretty sure of it. I wonder if she's still mad at me. I wonder if she could compose herself in front of my folks… she could either destroy herself in front of them without as much effort.

"Konnichiwa!"

His waiting did not last long. "Thank you for having me here…" Misa began shyly. "I—"

"Ne, oneesan, have you heard about oniichan at your school?" Sayu asked her. "he's quite famous around there! I'm sure you'll get along well."

"What's his first name?" Misa thought for a while. Yagami. Yagami… Yagami? Oh my god. Could he be…?

A little glance to the high school girl's side… zoom that. "EH?! Yagami Light?!" she exclaimed.

Mr. and Mrs. Yagami laughed. "I see, you have met!"

"We're schoolmates, remember?"

Misa was still in shock. "B-But… how?" She glanced at Ryuk who's grinning like a fool.

"Misa-Misa, haven't you figured? Yagami Light, Yagami Soichiro… Yagami!" Ryuk said to her.

Oh my god.

"Konnichiwa, oneesan." Light smiled at her mysteriously. "that's right. I'm Light. I'm your otouto…"

Misa bit her lip. Tell me that I'm having a nightmare and wake me up… someone!
