Me: I m tired!

Myth: what are you talking about? You slept like 4 hrs last night, and 6 before that.

L: yes, she does sleep a lot doesn't she?

Me: shut up both of you! I can't sleep at night and can't sleep during school, and unlike you two, I need sleep!

Me: oh, yeah, Read and review!

Ch.1 Hideki Ryuga

"No! Please don't leave daddy! I'll be a good girl, I promise!" She cried desperately.

"You're already good enough sweet heart." Her father said softly. "Daddy just needs to go away now. You'll see me again." With that he walked away, and she knew that she wouldn't. She cried bitterly as he climbed into a taxi and rode away.

"Brat!" her mother snapped angrily at her. "Get your worthless hide in the house!"

She cried hideously even as she obeyed.

BWEEEEEP BWEEEEP!!!

Myth awoke from the vivid nightmare. Gasping she looked at the clock.

"2 in the morning huh?" she said to herself. She'd slept for 15 minutes. She tried to lie down and go back to sleep, but as usual, the short period of rest had regenerated her completely. She sighed and got out of bed. She walked to the bathroom and climbed into a cold shower.

5min time-lapse

Myth leaned against the porcelain tub, looking at the pearly white scars that laced across her wrists. Not the kind of cuts that were shallow and made to gain attention, but true failed attempts at suicide. She'd stopped trying a year ago after the school therapyst had threatened her with a mental health institution. She hated hospitals of all sorts. She sighed. She almost wished she could follow a normal sleeping pattern so she wouldn't have to be alone to think so much, but she hadn't slept normally for as far back as she could remember. For all she knew, she had been born that way. She seemed doomed to sleep only a few minutes or so every night for the rest of her life. Damn. She thought.

She turned off the cold water and wrapped herself in a large bath towel. She grabbed a brush as she walked out the door and into her room. She mindlessly brushed through her Short, wet, uneven, midnight hair as she went to her tiny closet to get clothes. Ten minutes later she was dressed in a Knee length gray dress, Black combat boots, and a black leather jacket.She shoved an old pair of glasses onto her face, like usual, the to big glasses fell to the end of her nose. She crawled back into her bed to read until 6:00 when she would again have to face the students at her school. She picked up "A history of criminology" and turned to the part she had left off at earlier.

Myth rather liked school. The learning part anyway. She didnt enjoy much else about it though. Since her first day of elementery school, she had been targeted and victimized. The other students all seemed to think she was placed there to be their personal punching bag. She had no particular idea why people hated her so much. The other students,her mother,and the other students told her she was worthless and that they hated her, every chance they got. Her father had left when she was only 3, so she had noone that cared about her. She had never been on a date or to a friend's house, Hell, she didn't even have friends. Everybody either hated her, or was to afraid to approach the school punching bag for fear that they would be victimized also. She could understand why boys weren't interested in her though, her hair was uneven and ugly; she was incredibly skinny, although not skeletal at least. You could slightly see her rib cage. She had rather pale skin from staying out of the sun. She tended to avoid sunlight because she burned to easy. She was rather short for her age too. Numerous dark bruises and cuts marred her pale skin from the frequent beatings administered to her at both home and school. Sometimes in between. She had strange eating habbits. She loved sweet things, even prefered them, but because of this fact, her mother refused to bye them. She had been forced to spend the meager amount of money she got from her after school job at the old factory down the street from her school to buy the things she needed. She set aside a small amount from each pay check for sweets and future use.

She couldn't gain wait. Some other medical condition that wouldn't allow it. She could never seem to remember the names of the conditions she had been diagnosed with, and not even the doctors could tell her why she had them. She sighed unhappily and walked down stairs for a cookie and some heavily sweetened tea.

Hmmm, maybe she was just addicted to sugar? She thought. Oh well.

She walked down the stairs to the kitchen. After putting water on the stove to heat, she opened the fridge to hunt for cookies.

After pouring six sugar cubes into her small cup, she grabbed a plastic bag and filled it with cookies.She found another and filled it with sugar cubes. Myth brought the sugar cubes cubes for her eating condition. She had to eat constantly to keep up her energy. She ate sugar cubes on the beleif that they worked better. Once, in the second year of elementery school, a boy in her class had stolen her bag of sugar and hidden it from her. Within 45 minutes the teacher had found her lying on the classroom floor, unable to move. She reached into the fridge for and apple and a bottle of lemonade to go with her lunch. She tossed it all into a paper sack and reached into the fridge once more for a cookie she could eat now. She marched upstairs to her room to get ready for school, she munched on her cookie as she walked.

At school

Myth swiped the back of her hand over her freshly bleeding mouth as she walked to her class. She sat down at her desk to see a test awaiting her. She smiled. She hadn't studied for it, but it didn't matter, She always got perfect scores. Not that the rest of the school knew that though, she'd talked both the principle and teachers into not revealing her grades to anyone except potential Universities. She didn't want the attention. Attention brought pain, attention brought more beatings. Myth tried to avoid attention at all costs.

Myth yawned and let her eyes wander around the room. They finally settled on the Yagami kid across the room. He seemed to be lost in thought. Other kids, she noticed, seemed to be trying to cram in a few minutes of studying before the test began.

"We are having a test today students!" called the teacher. Myth rolled her eyes. Duh, she thought.

About five minutes into the test, she had finished about half of it already, she heard the teacher get onto some kid for sitting in his seat improperly. Curious, she turned around to look. A boy with partially gravity defiant black hair, sat in a strange position staring at the Yagami boy intently. Yagami was staring right back, an unnerved expression on his face.

Wonder what their problem is? she wondered. She studied the strange boy for a few minutes. He was sickly pale, and skelitally thin. His thumb was caught in his teeth as he watched the yagami boy. After a few minutes of watching the strange boy, she turned back to her test.

L's position

L continued to sit the way he wanted. The teacher seemed to give up after failing to convince him that sitting properly was in his best interest. He watched Light while he continued answering the questions on the test. He already knew all the answers. After a while he felt a pair of eyes on him. He turned to look and saw a girl just starting to turn away from him. She had uneven, Midnight colored hair that fell to her chin. The girl had slightly pointed ears and a pixie like face. Her skin was very pale, and he noticed her sneaking what looked like a sugar cube into her mouth when she thought nobody was looking. He was rather surprised, he didn't know anybody else with his obsession with sweets. Maybe he should get to know her a bit while he watched Light. hmm, Maybe. He noticed several open cuts and bruises on her face and arms. Was she abused at home? He wondered. He looked down at his test and finished the rest of the problems within seconds. He then continued to intently watch Light closely, forgetting the girl across the room.

Myth's position

She munched on sugar cubes absent mindedly as she waited for the teacher to call time. She had finished ages ago. After what seemed like hours the teacher released them for lunch, Myth sighed happily as she grabbed her lunch bag and headed for the roof to eat in peace.

She later found out that the boys name was Hideki Ryuga. Or rather she happened to be there at the assembly, for once, to hear it announced. After listening to he and Yagami make some sort of speech, she listened in on the conversation going on beside her.

"They both got perfect scores!" one of the boys said excitedly. She recognized him as the leader of the gang that had cornered her just that morning.

"Yeah, and the both got into Touou University too!" another said excitedly

Awesome, she thought, that means I did too. The teacher had informed her of her success earlier that day. She watched the rest of the ceremony and then quietly walked out of the Assembly room. She walked along the wall thinking about the classes she should take. Until….Splishhhhhhh!!

L's position

L walked out of the building with Yagami just in time to see the girl from earlier get doused with a large amount of water falling from the sky. The poor girl stood there soaked, listening to the hoots of laughter coming from the roof of the school. L watched her as she calmly pushed her wet hair out of her eyes and slowly begin to start walking again. The students that saw her, laughed at and pointed. L tapped Light on the arm.

"Yagami-Kun?" He asked him.

"Yeah, Ryuga?" Light asked him curiously. L pointed to the girl as she walked away.

"Who is that girl?" He inquired.

"Oh her." Light said in a bored voice. "Nobody really knows her real name, She just go's by Myth. She claims to not know her real name; she claims that nobody has ever told her. Ridiculous don't you think, how can anybody not know their own name?" Light asked with a laugh. "Don't pay any attention to her, She's, how do i say this, a bit of a freak."

"What do you mean by that Light?" L asked him coldly. Light apparently didn't notice his tone and answered.

"Well, she has that disorder that makes her have to eat all the time in order to keep her energy; she brings sugar cubes for it I think. She can't seem to remember anything and rarely talks. She hates staying in the sun to long to, but I think that's just because she burns really easy. And i heard that she rarely sleeps too, but i havnt ever seen any circles under her eyes, so thats probably not true." Light looked pointedly at the massive black circles under L's own eyes.

"I don't think anybody knows what her grades are either."

"And what are all those cuts and bruises on her skin?" L asked him.

"Everybody beats her up all the time." He answered him. "I heard that she knows self defense, but refuses to use it when she gets beaten up. She gets beaten up and made fun of alot too, and she just takes it like she was some sort of rag doll." Light said. "Why all the questions Ryuga?" he asked curiously.

"No reason." L answered sadly. He resolved that if he ever got the chance, he was going to speak with her. And, he decided, he would hack into the grade system to find her average later.

"Shall we go for cake Yagami-Kun?" L asked

"Sure." Light answered after a moment. "Why not."

Me: did you like it?

Myth: Am I really that pathetic?

Me: No you just act like it because you believe what they say. You eventually get your thoughts straight.

L: I believe that you may have a higher IQ than even Light Myth.

Light: What!?

L: it's true. If she had been taken from her mother she probably would have been put in Whammy orphanage.

Myth: yeah! In your face Light! I'm smarter than you are!

Light: are not!

Myth: are too!

Me: shut up you two, Read and review everybody.
