(Sana's point of view)
The night was rainy, L headed towards the roof, more aloof than usual, especially after last night, when I had told him about me being Siolfor and how I knew about Death Notes and shinigami. I didn't make to follow him right away because he still hadn't figured out what to do about me. As much as the confession had sickened and hurt me, L was still unsettled about it all, though I had to admit, despite the pain at being mostly ignored and held at arms length and that L avoided me at all costs now, I was glad that I hadn't been thrown out of Headquarters, or thrown in jail.
Once I was sure nobody else was paying attention, I headed after L, carefully making my way after him, so that he would not be able to avoid me this time. The roof would be the best place to catch him off guard. I quietly shut the door behind me and saw L standing under the awning, staring out at the rain that was pelting the roof. I went up behind him and steeled myself as I thought how best to confront him. Before I could say anything he turned to me, the blank stare giving me nothing to work with, it caused my heart to stutter and my stomach clenched painfully.
"L…" He shook his head, an indication of not wanting to talk to me, I almost doubled over in pain, but managed to keep myself upright. L hadn't asked for elaboration, he hadn't shown any of the emotion toward me that he had before last night. In fact, as soon as he had focused on me and took in fully what I had told him, he had pulled away, then got up and left my room. It had crushed me, I cried myself to sleep, but hadn't slept long because my dreams had been fitful at best. I had spent the rest of the night holding myself tightly and rocking back and forth on my bed, never having anticipated getting so close to someone and telling them so much about my past and present, then having them avoid me and lose interest in me.
"Sana…"
With a shake of my head I walked up to him, but I stopped short, knowing that I shouldn't push him too much if I wanted to amend the rift that had so suddenly grown between us. I refrained from any physical contact, even though it pained me to do so. "L… Please just give me a chance and listen… I think I at least deserve that much…"
L stared at me, but the unfocused look let me know that he wasn't actually seeing me. For a few moments there was no reaction, so as I began to lose hope of him hearing me out, I began to turn away. I was about to walk back to the door and go back to my room, as I knew I would not be able to interact with the Task Force very well, I felt the briefest and lightest touch on my arm. The pleasant shock that went through me at realizing that L had reached out to stop me was welcome and I let out a breath that I didn't realize I'd been holding.
"Sana… I will listen… But I'm still not sure what to make of all this…"
I closed my eyes and nodded understandingly at his words, I took a deep breath to steady myself before I began, "That's fine. I understand how… unsettling it is, and for me to just break down and tell you like that wasn't fair to you… But please understand… I had meant to tell you from the beginning. At least, about me being Siolfor, especially because it had seemed so obvious that you already knew, or at least suspected me of being Siolfor. I honestly did not think I would, nor should have, hidden it for so long." I wrapped my arms around my torso, as an effort to keep myself from falling apart and as a way to try to bring myself some comfort, "Also… I had never expected to tell anybody about knowing shinigami and of Death Notes… especially because that isn't something you can tell just anyone… I had decided long ago, shortly after my father had died… that I would never tell a living soul, unless I had to in order to save someones life, or on the extreme off chance that I found love and knew that without a doubt they would trust me and believe what I was telling them…"
I could hear my breath becoming shaky, the vertigo tried to pry at the edges of my vision and my stomach clenched so tightly that I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. With a few gulps I managed to swallow the feeling down enough to go on, before the feelings could make me waver enough to leave it at that, "You know… I really do love you… I have for a while now, in fact… I almost feel like I fell in love with you at first sight… Everyday, I have been super glad that you came up to my table, even if it was because you were suspicious of me being Kira… I had only started to realize that what I may have felt for you might be love when I had gone to see T.D. that night… I honestly wasn't sure what to think of him, and I really shouldn't have done what I did with him. But I was still confused by our relationship status… I wanted you to like me so badly that when he gave me a chance to meet with him, so he could express his own love for Siolfor… I took it, if only because I wanted to feel someone's love in place of the complicated, seemingly one-sided love that I was currently experiencing with you then…"
Unexpectedly my legs gave out, my vision went black and I had a hard time controlling my breathing. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths to steady my breathing and try to bring myself back to the emotional place I needed to be to finish telling L what I needed to tell him, I carefully risked a glance up at him, though it was faint and he didn't make a move to help or comfort me, I could see the concern in his eyes as he looked down at me, and for me, that look deep in his eyes was enough to calm me so I could finish telling him what I needed to tell him.
"L…" I drew strength from the way his name came out of my mouth, like a verbal caress to my own ears, "I'll understand and will not fight back, should you decide that I should be locked up for the things I've done, as Siolfor, and as myself… I will respect your wishes, no matter how I feel about it. I will honestly always love you, no matter what." I couldn't bring myself to look into his face this time, I didn't want to know what I'd find there, "With that being said… I got some intel from Rem… She told me, she is sure that Light intends to use Misa, in a way that forces Rem to kill both you and Watari, and possibly me as well. This is what was causing me so much concern… That was when I realized that I truly loved you… and I had wanted to tell you that last night… That was why I needed you to listen… I needed you to hear everything, so that you would know that I was telling you the truth about Rem and Light… So that you would hopefully understand that my love for you is true, even though I had kept hiding so many other things… Of course, I don't expect you to understand and I don't expect you to care much really, not at this point, but even the thought of revealing all my secrets to you… it affected me so physically I felt ill… I felt like it was against my very nature to tell you such things… but I tried to conquer those feelings… and I triumphed… but it didn't do any good…" The nausea rose again and this time I could not resist the urge to gag, I gagged several times but managed to keep from emptying the contents of my stomach. I could feel myself getting worse, the vertigo made my vision spin unsettlingly, my stomach was like a knot that kept tightening, make the nausea even stronger, my ears had begun ringing and my body felt so disjointed that none of my muscles were moving how I wanted them to, causing me to be super unsteady.
With one last monumental effort I took deep breaths until my vision was clear enough to see, though I still partially had double vision. My nerves steeled momentarily, I moved my hand to my chest, as though putting pressure on my heart would cause it to calm down, "I… I wanted to tell you everything, because I knew, once I did… I could easily give you the evidence you needed… because I was unable to send it as Siolfor, because T.D. became too occupied to be online to send it to you… Because… I was a coward and afraid that it would ruin everything between us… But I realized that not telling you would be much worse… So once Rem told me about Light's plans… I knew that time had come, I couldn't avoid it… I couldn't let you second guess yourself anymore… I couldn't let more innocent people die… I couldn't… I couldn't be selfish and enjoy anymore time with you, until you knew the truth about me…" A super strong clenching of my stomach caused more gagging, I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket and held it out to him, "L… I will not argue or beg you, should you decide prison, banishment or possibly even death should be my punishment… But I am really glad we met… I am so undeniably happy that we got to spend time together, no matter how short that time was… and… I really, truly do love you…."
As soon as L reached out and grabbed the paper in his unique way, I turned on my heel and staggered toward the door. I knew he wouldn't stop me this time… as painful as it was, I didn't blame him. I carefully made my way to my room and flopped onto my bed, a stinging sensation had tears immediately building up in my eyes. I laid my head on my arms and tried my best to contain my crying. For a few moments I began to feel like nothing was worth it anymore, if I didn't have L's love in return… Then death would be better… that thought caused me to get up from my bed, the resolve cut through all the sickness my mind and heart was putting my body through so that I no longer felt the need to cry or feel the tightness of my stomach muscles, etc. I went over to the window, wondering if Risa would be quick enough to get to me when I called for her. Without thinking too much about it I pulled out my phone and sent a text to her. I merely looked out the window until she was there a few moments later. She didn't say anything and waited for me to address her, "Risa… As an assassin, I know you carry with you some tools of your trade, and that you have knowledge of some different poisons…"
Risa was quiet a few more seconds, likely trying to guess where I was going with my line of inquiry, "Yes… I do… May I ask why?"
With a small sigh I turned to her, "I need you to give me a poison, one that will stop the heart completely… It is a common poison you carry isn't it?" Risa's eyes widened and she clearly let her surprise show.
There was no answer for a few seconds, then, unexpectedly, Risa came close and held out a small vial. My hand didn't shake as I took the vial from her, in fact a sort of peace seemed to fall over me, "Please go back to your surveillance… If anything should happen, to me, please report your findings to L." I saw Risa nod out of the corner of my eye before she turned and disappeared from my room. The fact that she hadn't questioned why I wanted it, or anything along those lines sent relief through my mind.
I checked the time, then figured I needed to head back down to the main floor to see what was going on, if anything different. Especially to see if I knew where exactly Light was with his plans. I walked over to my bed for a moment, looking at the box of my old mementos, things that showed small amounts of proof to my past. I shuffled through it quickly, moving some stuff around, putting the most relevant stuff at the bottom, hoping that when the time came, it would be gone through thoroughly so that everything in it was seen. I then turned to my laptop, logged in to the hacking app and sent video files to L, and sent a message to T.D. to send the same video files again, if anything should happen to cause them to be deleted before the end of the day. I didn't get a response this time, as unfortunate as it was I knew he was finally living a bit more then just living glued to a monitor and keyboard.
With one last look around, I deemed there was nothing left for me to do and so, I turned to the door. Before I reached for the handle though, I opened the vial and quickly poured the contents into my mouth and swallowed harshly as the poison was not exactly the best tasting liquid around. Once it was empty, I set the vial on the small table right inside the door to the room, then opened the door and headed downstairs. My resolve and the fact that I had taken a poison kept myself calm and steady.
Just as I made it to the main investigation room, an alarm started sounding, everyone in the Task Force quickly looked around, except L, who turned to his wall of computers immediately. The screens showed that everything was being deleted, meaning only one thing, Watari must be dead. The Task Force started panicking, L turned around quickly as he started to yell something, I lunged forward and clicked a few buttons on L's keyboard, bringing up surveillance around the building. While I was doing that L suddenly stopped in mid-yell and started to pitch to the side.
Seeing him start to collapse caused my heart to skip several beats, I froze until he made a small sound. It brought me back to my senses and I immediately pulled him into my arms, inadvertently knocking Light back as he also rushed to L with fake concern written on his face. I growled at him and pulled L closer to me, holding him tightly to my chest, "Stay away from him, Kira."
Light blanched at the venom in my voice, the surprise inadvertently caused him to lose control of his expression. I could see the pleasant victorious look in his eyes before he regained his composure. He hadn't shown his true expression long, but it had been long enough for me, we both knew without a doubt that the whole charade was over between us, there was no doubt that L and I had had a relationship, that Light was Kira and the ever present possibility that I was Siolfor.
For a split second I could see Rem in the doorway directly behind Light and as soon as she knew she had my attention, she ran her finger straight across her neck and pointed at me. I blinked once, without another sign, she disappeared behind a wall. I quickly ceased any more movements and then put one hand on my chest, clutching it hard as I could. As I feigned a heart attack I could see a smile stretch across Light's features, it was an insane smile with an undeniable triumph that stood behind it. It was obvious that he was trying to quench the look before the others of the Task Force noticed.
After a few seconds I slowly started to let my eyes close, feeling a cold darkness stealing over my body as my heart struggled to beat just once more seeing as the poison started to kick in. As my eyes were sliding closed I could hear a somewhat exaggerated scream from Light, it echoed in my ears causing them to ring as the darkness took over me. The last thought that went through my mind was of T.D. I hope… he caught Light… on the cameras… The thought trailed off as I lost consciousness.
(Light's point of view)
I did it! I got rid of L, Watari and Sana, all in one shot. Now there will be nothing to stand in my way. I am the new God of this world! I am Justice!
(Rem's point of view)
With one last look at Sana, L, the old man, then Misa I turned and headed to the roof of the building. I had to stay out of sight now, until Light was captured or killed, but I could not leave because my Death Note remained. So I went to the roof, and watched the sky.
(Omnipresent point of view)
The Task Force scurried around L and Sana, unsure of what to do now that the two super geniuses were dead. Unsure of what else to do, they moved all three of the bodies to another room and began to search for the shinigami that had likely been the cause of their deaths. Light seemed especially torn about the whole situation, and began to swear that he would catch Kira and bring him to justice.
With nothing else to do or say, they left the room with the bodies and headed back to the main room, to prepare funerals for the three they had lost. However, with no one left in the room, Watari suddenly sat up, then got up to check to see that L was ok. Watari looked down at L, then gently shook his shoulder, "L, the others have gone, we can get up now."
It took a few moments, but L's eyes slowly opened, his eyes quickly adjusted to the bright light above him, "I must admit, for last minute arrangements, Miss Sana planned it out very well, don't you think, L?"
L didn't reply as he looked over at Sana's limp body, somewhat surprised that she wasn't sitting up by now as well, especially with Watari talking and showing that they were conscious once again. Watari gave L a once over, then deciding he was fine, moved over to Sana and gently shook her shoulder.
A few moments passed so Watari shook her shoulder again, then called her name gently, but this had no effect as had the first time. Watari looked back at L, who was crouching and had his thumb to his mouth and his gaze directed away from Sana and Watari, "L… I think something may be wrong with Miss Sana… She has yet to wake up." L slowly turned his gaze toward Watari, only because if Sana wasn't waking up yet, then something could be seriously wrong.
