36. Dark Light (2)

  19.00, later today. . .

  "My daughter. . ."

  "ONEE-CHAN!!!"

  *sobs sobs*

  "Miyuki!!"

  Somewhere inside a house, a family is mourning the death of the first daughter of the family. The family felt crushed because of what happened to the first daughter died after being raped. The corpse was found naked inside a trash can in an alleyway.

  "*sobs sobs* MY DAUGHTER!!" the father cried his heart out.

  "MIYUKI!!" the mother yelled her daughter's name.

  "ONEE-CHAAAAN!!"

  The youngest daughter is also crying and calling out to her older sister.

  They keep crying. There is only sobbing and weeping heard throughout the living room. Her corpse is lying in the living room, with her family surrounding it. They didn't even curse the culprit; her death hits them too hard, and there is only room for sorrow in their heart. They haven't even reported this to the police. They are too sorrowful for anything else.

  *sobs sobs*

  In the living room, there's a glass sliding door that leads to the backyard of the house. Light is standing outside the glass door to the side, and takes a peek inside. He has been listening for a while. After a few minutes, he let off with a very hateful expression on his face.

  .

  .

  .

  "I'm home!"

  "Welcome home, dear!"

  "PAPA! WELCOME HOME!!"

  "PAPA!! PAPA!!"

  "Yes, yes, papa is home now!"

  In a house quite far from where the rape victim's house is, a man has just got home and welcomed by his whole family in the front door.

  "Good work today, dear!"

  "Thanks, my dear!"

  The husband kisses his wife.

  "I'm taking a bath first!"

  "Food is ready right after you're done with the bath! Kids, help me prepare the table for your father!"

  "YES MAMA!"

  "OK MAMA!

  Two of their children are in elementary school, male and female. Together with the mother, they help prepare food on the table for the exhausted father. The man himself is currently taking a dip in a hot bath.

  "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh. . ."

  "Now that I'm finally home. All my worries are being washed away. . ."

  ". . . ."

  ". . . well, not all, I guess."

  "(FUCKING DAMMIT! I HOPE I DIDN'T LEAVE ANY PROOF!)"

  Without his family knowing anything, the husband today has just committed a horrible crime.

  "(Oh well, I'm an adult, and this is just how society works. I'm just doing this once because I was curious. Yep, never doing it again. . . Although that felt fucking amazing!)"

  "(Welp, can't blame all it on me. This is just how messed up society is. The most important thing about it is that no one will ever know. And I myself will never indulge into it ever again!)"

  After a few seconds, the man has finished his bath and is ready to have dinner at the dining table.

  "Wooooaahh!! These are all my favorites! Thank you, my dear! Just what I needed to restore my energy. I was so tired today!"

  "Work is hard, huh? Don't forget to ask for seconds!"

  "Will do! Time to eat!"

  *GRAAAHHHKKK*

  As soon as the man was about to bite into his first food, someone came in and broke through the roof of their house.

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKHHHHH!!!"

  "INTRUDER!?"

  "PAPA! MAMA! I'M SCARED!"

  "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  "COME TO ME, MY CHILDREN!"

  It was Light. He landed right on top of the dining table and broke it in two as a result. The entirety of the man's dinner was messed up horribly.

  "YOUR NIGHTMARE IS HERE!"

  "OI!! THAT'S MY WIFE'S COOKING!!"

  ". . .You have a family?"

  "Huh? Who the hell are you? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?"

  "What am I doing here? I'VE COME TO RAIN JUDGMENT UPON A RAPIST AND A MURDERER!"

  "W-WHAT?"

  "De-dear, what is he talking about?"

  ". . ."

  Light grabs and bends the man's right foot. He twists it and tears it off.

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  "UAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHH!!!!"

  "DEEAAAARRR!!!"

  "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  "PAPAAAAAAA!!!"

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHH!!!"

  *pant pant*

  The man breathes heavily as he tries to crawl away from Light while enduring the pain. Blood is also flowing out of the stump on his foot.

  "GET THE FUCK AWAY!!"

  Light walks in closer.

  "What's wrong? Are you afraid? When someone suddenly comes out of nowhere and starts threatening you, are you afraid? Isn't this the exact same feeling that the girl you raped and murdered felt?"

  "NO!! THERE'S NO WAY PAPA WOULD EVER DO THAT!!"

  Light looks towards the man's two children.

  "Correct. I was also surprised to see how different he is in person. But that doesn't matter! All that matters is that this guy right here raped a young girl and murdered her!"

  "NOOOOO!! THAT'S A LIE!!"

  "D-DEAR! TELL ME THAT'S NOT TRUE!!"

  "H-HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT WAS ME? YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF!"

  "I don't need proof. I am a Judge. The Judge of Lust. I can see and sense sinful lusts. And the trail of lust leads me directly here. To you specifically!"

  "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN SAYING? YOU'RE DELUSIONAL!! THIS IS A FALSE ACCUSATION!!"

  "Then, why are you sweating? Why is your voice trembling? Why is your face saying that you're guilty? Why do you feel so hopelessly scared?" said Light with a creepy and intimidating smile.

  "DEEAARRR!! TELL ME THE TRUTH!!"

  "Confess! Or pain will make you talk!"

  ". . .I. . .I. . ."

  "Y-Y-YES! I DID!! I RAP---"

  *WHAM*

  *ZZRRASSSSHH*

  All of a sudden, Light punches the man's throat and destroys it.

  "Aaakhhh---AAKH---"

  The man can no longer say a word.

  "It pains me to do this in front of your innocent family. . . BUT I COULD NEVER TOLERATE THIS SELFISH ACT CALLED RAPE!!"

  For the next few minutes, Light ruthlessly tears out the man's innards, breaks his bones, pulls off his nails forcefully, and all kinds of stuff that always shows the man trying to shout, but no voice can no longer come out.

  "PAPAAAAAAAA!!!!"

  "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  "DEAAAAARRRR!!!!"

  Light tortured the man so cruelly that it made him look like the worst person between the two. He tortured the man to the point that even though he's a rapist, people who would see the man's conditions would say that Light was going too far. But Light does not care. He will never forgive the act of rape. He will always be cruel and extremely violent towards rapists.

  .

  .

  One hour later. . .

  *knock knock*

  Someone is knocking on the previously mourning family's front door.

  *knock knock*

  The father wipes his tears, gets up, and walks towards the front door.

  "Y-Yes, coming!"

  The father asks for the identity of the person behind the door before opening it.

  "Who is it?"

  ". . . ."

  "Hello? Who is this?"

  "I have your daughter's killer."

  *!!!*

  The father was shocked. He limps backward and falls to the floor.

  "I'm coming in!"

  The person opens the door. It was Light.

  "I have the person who killed your daughter."

  The father stands up and walks away slowly.

  "Who-who are you?"

  "Who I am doesn't matter, here!"

  Light throws something towards the father. The thing falls to the floor.

  "What is this?"

  It was a person, the killer that is also the rapist that killed the family's daughter. The man was in horrible condition. First, all of his limbs are torn off. The tear was so rough that the flesh that came out of the stumps was almost liquid and bloody.

  "EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!"

  The father screams at the mere sight of the killer's condition.

  Second, his face was unrecognizable. It no longer has any trace that says that face belongs to a human. Third, there are bruises all over his body. Lastly, the man is still alive and breathing slowly and heavily.

  "This guy is still alive. Don't worry, you can do whatever you want with him."

  "Huuuuh?"

  "This man killed and raped your daughter. Simply killing him is too merciful. You can torture him to your heart's content before he ultimately meets his end." said Light, advising the father.

  "W-What do you mean?"

  "My role here is done. Whatever happens from now on is of no concern to me."

  Light turns away and leaves the house.

  .

  .

  .

  22.00, later that night. . .

  Light opens the front door to his house. The first thing he saw was Lily already prepared to greet him.

  "Welcome home, Light-kun!" smiles Lily with a side ponytail.

  "I'm home, Lily!" Light replies with a weak smile.

  They walked towards the living room as they chatted.

  "Have you had dinner yet?"

  "I haven't actually."

  "Come to the dining room, I prepared a bit of food."

  They walk towards the dining room. Light saw quite a variety of foods on the dining table.

  "Lily, you cooked all of these?"

  "I've been practicing behind your back, actually. I sometimes stayed up late just to learn the basics in the first month I was here."

  "Wow, I never noticed."

  "That's because I always clean up properly, hehehe! And, don’t worry about the ingredients! As soon as the food’s done, I rewind them back into raw ingredients, so our food supplies never decrease!!"

  "Wow, that’s amazing! Thank you, Lily, I'll have dinner."

  Light takes a seat on one of the dining chairs. He prays before he eats.

  "Amen! Bon appétit!"

  Light starts eating.

  "Lily, this is good! You're a natural!"

  "Really? I'm so glad all those nights were paying off!"

  It took a few minutes, but Light gulped down all of Lily's cooking.

  "Thanks for the food!"

  "Are you full?

  "Yes, I am! And I feel so happy!"

  "Okay, you go take a few minutes' rest and take a bath afterward. Let me handle the dishes!"

  "T-Thanks, Lily!"

  Light takes Lily's advice. He goes to the living room and takes a seat on the sofa, resting his body against the back of the sofa. Lily is currently washing the dishes diligently.

  "(I. . . did something horrible to Lily today. Yet here she is, treating me as if none of the sorts ever happened. Not to mention. . . I am the worst kind of boyfriend.)"

  Light gets up and stands up. He walks over to Lily in the dining room. He immediately hugs her while she's still in the middle of doing dishes.

  "L-LIGHT-KUN?"

  ". . . ."

  Light hugs Lily tightly without saying anything. He buries his face against the back of her neck.

  "W-W-W-W-WAIT A MINUTE, I AM GONNA BREAK A FEW PLATES IF YOU KEEP HOLDING ME LIKE THIS! LET ME GO FOR NOW, LIGHT-KUUUUUUUNN!" said Lily as her face turned red.

  "About today. . ."

  *!*

  Lily immediately stops washing the dishes.

  "I'm sorry. . ."

  Lily feels cold on the back of her neck. Turns out they were tears. Light sheds tears even though he isn't crying.

  "I'm sorry that I genuinely tried to hurt you. I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

  Aside from the regretful tone that Light used, Lily felt a genuine regretful emotion surging through her heart.

  "It's okay, Light-kun. I sense that something has been cornering you, seeing how you act today."

  "Lily, I still can't tell you about it, but not because I don't want you to know. It's more about how much I hate talking about it."

  "I see. I understand, Light-kun."

  Lily puts her hand on Light's head.

  "Light-kun, just so you know, you will always have me on your back." said Lily as she pats Light's head.

  "Thank you. I'm grateful."

  ". . . ."

  "I'm going to bed now. See you tomorrow! Don't stay up too late."

  "Understood, Light-kun! Have a nice sleep!"

  Light bid his farewell and went upstairs to go to sleep.

  "(Light-kun, if you somehow are in a similar predicament as I did. I will help you just as you helped me. Do not be worry, I won't lose you like I lose Mi-chan! I PROMISE!)"

  Lily made an oath that night. She will never experience that pain again, the pain of losing someone important.

  "LILY!!!"

  All of a sudden, Light shouted Lily's name from upstairs.

  "COMING, LIGHT-KUN!!"

  Lily immediately dropped everything that she was doing and rushed to the second floor. The first thing that she saw was that Light was standing in front of her room.

  "W-What's up, Light-kun?"

  . . . .

  "Liliana Aiha-san!" said Light with a suspiciously sweet tone.

  "W-What is it?"

  "Why does your room look like a garbage dump site?"

  *!!!*

  *gulp*

  Lily gulps as she is already trying to run away. Light transforms his right hand and pulls her in. Lily's face lands right in his palm grip, and Light lifts her upwards.

  "YOUR SHIRTS, YOUR PANTS, YOUR BRAS, AND EVEN YOUR PANTIES ARE ALL OVER THE FLOOR!! AND WHAT ARE THESE STUFFS THAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS 'COSPLAY ITEMS'?"

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

  "Look, I don't mind your cosplaying, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST TIDY YOUR ROOM PROPERLY!!" said Light as he tightened his grip on Lily's face.

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I GET IT!! I GET IT!! I'M SORRY, LIGHT-KUUUUUUUNN!!"

  "WHAT WERE YOU EVEN DOING?"

  "I WAS COSPLAYING BUT I COULDN'T FIND THE SMALL PIECE OF THE COSTUME BUT THEN I IMMEDIATELY WENT COOKING AND I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

  "LILIANA AIHA-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!"

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  “CLEAN YOUR ROOM!!” said Light with a very deep tone.

  “SIR!! YES, SIR!!”
