If there was one thing Light knew without a doubt, it was the fact his older sister was the strangest person you could meet and also the most sympathetic person you could meet. Despite the fact their father catches criminals, his older sister would constantly question their father about the criminal's past as if it was more important then their action. He didn't understand her thoughts, was it not enough they killed someone? Why should they even care about their past? Whenever his sister hears a sad story about the criminal, she would make some comment on how either the sentence should be lightened or point out how their past affects them.

Why didn't his sister study psychology? Light couldn't help but ask himself as his older sister helped their mother put the plate of food on the table. Narumi, or Naru as she always told strangers to call her, smiled widely at him before yelling for their little sister to come down for breakfast.

"Why do you look so down? You should smile," Narumi declared, taking a seat on his right. "Unless you're upset, I got to work with Tou-san while you're stuck in school...if that's the case then you know if we need a little bit help with the case then we'll go to you. Believe it."

Did he mention his sister had a habit of saying believe it after her sentences?

"I'm not upset," he grumbled as Sayu took a seat on the other side of the table. "And if you're in a case then you'll be coming to me a lot. After all, it's a miracle you passed high school, let alone university."

Their mother shot him a disapproving him look while Sayu glanced at their sister, who just shrugged her shoulders at him. "Y'know not everyone is as smart as you when it comes to anything school related," she said, giving him a smile. "Some people, like me, are better in anything that involves dealing with people or y'know acting like my age."

"You act like a fifteen year old instead of twenty-two year old," he said dryly, earning giggles from Sayu and a sigh from his mother. He heard a laugh and looking up at the ceiling, Light noticed Ryuk was gazing at him with amusement. No, not him, he thought to himself, he was looking at his older sister with amusement.

Narumi shrugged her shoulder. "I can act my age y'know otoutou, I just decide not to. If everyone acts their age, the world would be a boring place. Besides, it's better to act younger then you are then to act older."

"Your sister is funny," Ryuk said, gazing at his sister with amusement.

His sister had that look in her eyes again, Light mused as his sister cleared her throat and gave a bright smile to their father, who came down the staires in his usual uniform. There were days when he noticed his sister looked so dazed, he was actually worried his older sister would fall down. His parents felt the same way too or why else would they have his sister's eyes checked when he was three.

"Naru-chan, are you really going to work with those jeans?" Their father asked, finally noticing the orange skinny jeans his sister was wearing.

"I thought you said it was no problem for me to wear jeans?"

"I didn't realize…"

"Don't worry Tou-san, if they even think of touching me then they'll meet my fist," his sister said confidently before their father could finish his sentence. She gave a bright smile before taking a bite of the eggs their mother made for them.

Sayu giggled. "Tou-san, you know it's impossible for Naru-neechan to go anywhere without her orange jeans. Besides, it looks great on Naru-neechan. Orange always looks good on her."

"And that's why you're my favourite sister," their sister declared, giving her a smile.

Light rolled his eyes at his sister's words while Sayu just pouted and pointed out she was her only sister. Narumi smiled brightly, ruffled her sister's hair, but Light didn't miss the faded look in her eyes as if she was remembering something sad. He didn't know why his sister would be sad. For as long as Light could remember, the three of them had a happy childhood. True, his sister had been bullied because of the whisker marks on her cheeks but Light had always tried to beat them for doing it even if his sister told him he shouldn't do it.

If she wasn't going to take justice for herself then who would?

He always asked himself this question whenever his sister gave him a look, which told him more than anything she thought she could handle it. Narumi never liked it when he tried to protect her, always just gave him a look that said he needed to let her handle it.

"Y'know I think it's time I should start heading off to work," his sister declared, snapping him off his train of thought.

"Can't you take a ride with your father Naru-chan?" Their mother asked his sister as she placed a piece of bread in her mouth and grabbed her bag from under the table. "You haven't been eating properly for the past few days."

"I'm sorry Kaa-chan but y'know I'm so nervous about my first day," Narumi explained, rubbing the back of her neck. "I don't want them to have a bad impression of me, especially if some of my fellow co-workers see me with Dad."

"Everyone knows you're my daughter," Their father pointed out to his sister.

"Doesn't mean I want to rub it in their face Tou-san!" His sister answered with such a cheerful tone that Light really wondered if Narumi knew what she was signing herself for when she decided to ask their father for a job in his office. "It's bad enough I asked you for a job but I want to prove to everyone I'm more then capable of working with them, believe it!"

His father sighed and shook his head. "Sometimes, I wonder where you get your catch phases from or where you get your determination from."

"Who knows Tou-san? Maybe, I was a hyperactive ninja in another life." His sister joked, earning a smrik from Ryuk.

Light looked up and down at his sister, gazing at her bright blond hair and cereluen blue eyes before gazing at her bright orange pants, and finally snorted at her words. His sister twisted her body around, crossed her arms and arched one eyebrow at him, waiting for him to explain why he gave such a response to her.

"You would have made a terrible ninja," he stated, causing his sister to laugh. "You stand out too much, ninjas are supposed to be quiet...something you're terrible at."

"And that's where I say, you got so much more to learn little brother," his sister said softly, so softly that Light thought he imagined her saying those words to him. "Then again, you're still a child."

He bristled at his sister's words. He was the child? Narumi might be older then him by a good five years but he was the one who acted like the older sibling, not her. His sister would play video games and do pranks on anyone who annoyed her. Heck, there was even one time his sister had managed to walk up to his female classmate and gave her his number, claiming how he was just a bit shy on asking a girl out.

If Light didn't love his sister, he would have tried to kill her for her actions.

Honestly, what right did she have of setting him up for a blind date?
