For Them
Chapter 1—Intro
"Light… Is dead?" A few muffled sobs followed the question.
"Yes. I'm sorry, Misa. I shot him." A regretful sigh.
It was silent for a while, save Misa's sniffles and Matsuda's restless sighing.
Finally, the blonde goth pushed herself out of Matsuda's lap.
"I forgive you, Matsu. It all started with that Shinigami."
"Really? Thank you, Misa…. I miss him too. Even though he was evil."
"It's no use. Ever since Mello-sama, Matt-san and L-san died, she won't come out, talk, or eat."
One of Mello's subordinates shook his head and sighed.
Another looked over his bottle of sake.
"They were like family to her. I wouldn't be surprised."
They all gasped when the door opened and a pale girl with black hair stepped out of the shadows.
"Ren-dono!"
"I'm going to Mello's room."
She looked at them with almost dead eyes.
"Please don't speak of Mello, Matt or L if I can hear you."
Then she was gone.
Closing the door behind her, she sank down into a sitting position and closed her eyes.
The smell of chocolate swirled around her, and she breathed it in, imagining Mello sitting in his chair, back facing her, chewing on his beloved chocolate and muttering incoherently to himself about beating the albino sheep.
"….That Shinigami will pay…."
