Sayu sat on the wooden dock staring at her reflection in the crystal blue water, "I know what I left was for me… But me? And him? Really?" Sayu looked over her shoulder at Nate sitting near the shore reading a book in the brilliant afternoon sun under the shade of a tropical tree.
B was laying stretched out in the tree sleeping on one of the strong branches that tangled outward. Mello ran down the dock and jumped over Sayu splashing her and soaking her clothes. "Hey!"
Matt slowly walked up behind her, "Would you care to join us? You're already wet at this point."
Sayu turned around and put her best smile, "You're actually outside?"
Matt scratched the back of his head, "Light took my Gameboy and my PSP. So, until I spend some time outside I'll never get them back." Sayu chuckled softly as Matt fell into the water face first and resurfaced for air. Matt held his hand out, "It's actually really nice."
Sayu grinned and took his hand and he lifted her into the water that was only waist deep. "It's so warm, almost like bath water." Sayu smiled as she laid back and floated along the surface.
Light set up an impressive command center and sent a highly encrypted and cryptic message to a variety of email addresses created all over the world for different IP addresses and through proxy port after proxy port. Then finally delivered to Watari.
"Watari- We are fine, I cannot disclose our location on the 2.9% this is decrypted and solved. We are with everyone and are all in good health. Fear not. We are in a safe location. Death Notes have been destroyed. We are now actively gathering Intel on our perusers. Take care. –R"
L sat next to Light watching him chewing on his thumb as C paced in the hallway thinking. L leaned into the hallway, "If you think any louder the neighbors will complain."
C stopped pacing and sighed, "The nearest neighbors aren't for 6 miles, through a jungle."
Light grumbled, "That's the point he's making, stop stressing out. Watari knows or will know. And we're remote enough no one will pick up the signal tower that Matt set up."
L looked out the window sighing with a tad of jealousy, "They're all so carefree."
C growled and continued to pace, "We however cannot afford that sort of freedom or luxury."
Light stood up and stretched, "I suppose I should make something for everyone to eat, Sayu is okay at cooking, but I want to eat and enjoy it."
L placed his index finger on his bottom lip and followed Light into the kitchen. "Will you make something for me?" Light smiled and kissed L's cheek. "C! There is like nothing here, which really doesn't surprise me, it is just a hideout, but we need groceries. You're the only one who knows who we're being hunted by. So take B and get food for me to make, or we'll be hearing a chorus of stomachs."
C stopped pacing and blinked a couple of times, "Why do I have to take B?"
Light folded his arms and gave an irritated stare, "Okay, smartass! Find your way around the area with out him."
C frowned and touched the door handle, "Very well. I will return with items of nutrition. What do you require?"
Light quickly scribbled a list of things down for C and handed it to him. C traded his usual trademark black trench coat for a lighter white concealment cloth that carried a small arsenal of light weighted weapons inside it. As he stepped out the door he whistled and B perked up with a smirk, "Road trip?!"
Sayu decided she had enough of swimming and walked out of the ocean and onto the shore and knocked on the door, "Light? Can you bring me towel and a change of clothes, please?"
Light walked up to the door holding new dry clothes and held out a towel for her to change behind. She changed her clothes from behind the towel that Light he,pod up like a curtain. "Done?" Sayu nodded, and Light hung up her clothes.
Sayu sat in a hammock hanging from the tree and watched Near read his book. He closed the book after being watched for a few minutes, and turned to look at her. He stood up and smiled at her, "Sayu?"
She shook her head and blushed realizing she was staring at him awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Nate."
He walked towards her and held out his hand, "Walk with me?" She smiled softly and took his hand. "I know you don't remember, but we once walked like this before. I wish I could show you." Nate interlocked their fingers and looked away from her.
Sayu smiled then linked their arms together. "I feel like, Déjà vu? Like, this has happened before." Sayu stepped in front of him and stared into his deep grey eyes. "I'm very drawn to you." Near gently caressed her chin with his fingertips making her blush brightly. "Um… Have we?"
Near tilted his head slightly, "Have we what?"
Sayu blushed more, "Have we kissed?"
Near gave a small smile, "Yeah. We've kissed."
Sayu looked out towards the water, "Can we do it again?"
Near pulled her close and rested his hands on her hips and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Sayu, I know it's early… Again, but, I want you to know… I love you. You don't have to say it yet. I know you don't have your memories, and I don't want you to…" Sayu placed her index and middle fingers on his lips. She smiled and gave him a loving glance in his eyes and pulled him down to her height and gave him a deeper kiss.
