Lfen Lied Ch 3 Guardian Devil
A/N: I don't own Death Note or Elfen Lied.
***
As Sayu Yagami walked home from school she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. Maybe it was just paranoia brought on by her father and brother constantly warning her to watch out for weirdos but she couldn't shake the feeling of a presence, and of eyes on the back of her neck. She began to walk more briskly, and by the time she turned the corner she had broken into a run, slamming right into a shadowy figure that stood looming in the alleyway. She shrunk away until she recognized the voice...
"Sayu! Are you alright?"
"Ow!" Sayu whined as she picked herself off the concrete. "Dammit, Light! You scared me!" Sayu breathed and then punched him weakly in the chest.
Light had the good grace to look sheepish. "Sorry."
"Don't you have school today?"
"I'm playing hooky. Shh, don't tell dad." Light whispered conspiratorially.
"Wha-?" Sayu looked scandalized. "Shame on you onii-san! Aren't you supposed to be setting an example?"
"Yeah, sorry. I've been feeling kind of stressed out lately. I know you've been studying really hard too. I figured we could both really use a break… so I got us this."
Sayu squealed with joy, moral complaint forgotten, when Light held up two tickets to a Hideki Ryuuga concert.
"Oh but, Light. They're so expensive!"
Light ruffled her hair. "Don't worry about it. A friend of mine had them but he couldn't go. I asked nicely and he gave them to me." Light didn't like lying to his little sister but that was mostly true. Just replace "friend" with "criminal scumbag" and "ask nicely" with "picked them off his bloody corpse."
A concert was ideal. It was a nice crowded place with lots of security where even crazies like the guy who killed the Kitamuras would think twice before opening fire...
When Light hacked into the police files showing the Kitamura house, Light recognized the work of the Facility. That meant the investigation was closer than he thought and if they knew that Kira was a Diclonius chances are they'd assume the suspect was female-meaning they'd target his little sister. Even though they weren't bound by blood Sayu was his sister and he could not let that happen. Though it was all based on a lie the Yagami family was kind to him and treated him like a human being, even though he was adopted (and even though he was a monster-a fact they could never know) they treated him like their own son, and for that he was grateful. Light knew in his heart of hearts that even if he had to purge all other human filth from the face of this world the Yagamis would be spared.
Light kept his hand protectively on his sister's back as they turned down a crowded street until the metal ball rolled to a stop at their feet.
Sayu yelped as they were suddenly flying backwards.
From a nearby window Bandou watched as the teens pulled themselves off the pavement, miraculously unharmed. He had seen everything through his bionic eyes-how they were propelled backwards BEFORE the bomb went off. Only a Diclonius was capable of such a feat. This wouldn't be like with the Kitamuras. He'd hit the jackpot.
Light snarled. It looked like they would bring innocents into the fray.
Of course, I should have known. The Facility can cover anything up! They don't care about collateral! Those BASTARDS!
"Onii-san, what happened? Onii~!"
"Oni! Oni! Oni!"
"SHUT UP!" Light roared; his eyes were wide and murderous. "I'm not an Oni!" I'm not a demon! I'M A GOD!
"Light, you're scaring me!" Sayu shrunk away. At the last moment Light recovered himself and stopped his grasping, phantom hands from ripping his little sister to shreds.
"Shit! Oh shit! Oh SHIT!" I almost… I could have… No, no time! They're still out there! They're watching us right now!
"Light?" Sayu began but then a bullet whizzed by right by her ear. "Someone's shooting at us!"
"C'mon!" Light grabbed his sister by the wrist, pulling her along. They broke out into a flat run, trying to ditch their pursuer in a maze of alleyways. They turned a corner and at the last moment, Light spotted the trap. He grabbed his sister protectively and using his vectors launched them both into the air, evading another fireball.
Sayu was confused. Her ears were ringing and when she opened her eyes that had been squeezed shut it was almost like they were… flying?
"Onii…" Sayu whispered when they landed on the roof of a building.
Light spotted the laser dot of a sniper and pushed himself and his sister down, ducking behind the rooftop air ventilation system. He doubted it would actually stop a bullet but at least they weren't out in the open. When their pursuer fired Light brought up his vectors in a protective shell around them, deflecting the high caliber bullets. Even from so far away it was one hell of a kick. Light struggled not to give any ground. Light worked to ignore his sister's screaming and to concentrate on keeping his "shield" up as he used finer telekinetic manipulation to defuse the alarm and open the roof-top access door.
"Sayu, I need you to keep running, use that door, find a phone, call dad!"
"W-what about you?"
"I'll be right behind you, I promise, but you need to go, NOW!"
Sayu stood there stupidly, gaping at her brother as if he were some sort of freak. It was too much.
"GO!" Light roared. Please! Go before I kill you too!
Sayu ran and Light covered her escape deflecting bullets.
"HEY! ASSHOLE!" Light screamed at the man shooting at them. He dramatically ripped off his brown wig of hair, letting it fall onto the rooftop on which he stood, revealing his blood red hair and horns.
"IT'S ME, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! I'M THE ONE YOU WANT!" The man kept shooting so Light put his hands up in a placating gesture. "I'M NOT RESISTING! I SURRENDER! LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THIS!"
Light let the tranquilizer dart whiz by his defenses. It lodged in his neck. Light slumped to the ground and waited, listening to the soothing sounds of the sea as his predator approached. The high-rise building he had scaled was overlooking the bay-it was a beautiful place to die, really. Not that he wanted to die. Not really. After all he had so much more work to do as Kira...
Bandou's boots stopped just short of his face.
The mercenary sneered. "Whatever you're planning; it won't work."
"No plans, no tricks."
Bandou struck him hard across the face.
"You really are just going to surrender quietly? How pathetic!"
Light offered no resistance as the mercenary beat him.
"It truly is a shame. It gives me such pleasure hunting animals like you."
"I know," Light slurred. "'S no point fighting someone like you. You'd just enjoy it…"
"Oh I see what's going on here, would you look at that, your lil' sister got away!" The mercenary realized in a flash of insight. "So noble, so self-sacrificing," he mocked. "Does it help you pretend you're not a monster? It's useless, you know. I'll find her later. I can't leave any loose ends-you understand."
"Unfortunately, yes." In a flurry Light lashed out with his vectors. "Hmm… That looked like it hurt." Light commented as he slammed Bandou against the wall. "I'd apologize, but then I'd be lying." Light said in a suddenly clear tone of voice and Bandou realized, too late, that his target was faking the extent of the drug's effects.
"No… there's no way! That's impossible!" With that dosage the Diclonius shouldn't be able to access let alone control it's vectors!
"You don't get it. I'm not like the others. Did you really think I could do what I do without having fully mastered my powers?" Light smiled sickly. "I am Kira. I am God!"
Bandou laughed. "You're a delusional freak! That's what you are!"
Light sneered down at Bandou. There was no point arguing with this soon-to-be-dead pathetic worm.
"Hmmm... you know; if I was in your position I would have at least researched my prey." Light said conversationally as he squeezed the man's arms lightly with his vectors, just to give him a taste of his power.
"No, not again!" Bandou screeched as he felt the pressure being applied to his artificial limbs.
"What? Rip you apart? I could, you know, but that's just so barbaric. I prefer heart attacks. No mess, no fuss. Don't you?"
Bandou couldn't answer seeing as he was already seizing. Light giggled as the man squirmed and died… until Bandou, still seizing brought up his broken, flailing arm, a gun in hand, and took aim at Light's head. The wannabe God just had time for a look of surprise and fear to grace his face as he could hear the screeching metal and the whir of the servos inside and then he realized, too late, that his opponent wasn't normal either.
Light got his vectors up but it wasn't fast enough, not at point blank range. The diclonius staggered backwards and fell off the edge of the building.
