Um, yeah, I don't own this obviously or Matt would be alive somewhere…D:
Also, this is the first Fanfiction I have ever written, so please comment on any grammer/story/anything that you don't like. Or if you like the idea review that too! Thanks!
It was the first dinner the Yagami family had eaten together for a few months and Light was enjoying it. Of course he had to convince Rem to stay at HQ for a few hours but it was worth it. His parents were acting a little strange, but he passed the tension off as a fight of some sorts. As Light grabbed his plate to wash the extra food off his father spoke.
"We're leaving tonight." Sochiro stated both Sayu and Light stopped.
Light nearly sprained his neck as he turned to stare at his father.
"We're what?" he asked incredulously as his right eye began to twitch.
Sochiro frowned slightly at his son's reaction. "Were moving." He said with determination in his voice. He needed his son to go along with this plan, and if Light didn't agree he was prepared to use force. "Now I need you both to go start packing…"
Silence overtook the room as Sochiro's words echoed through their minds.
Light slowly awoke out of his stupor and began to process how moving would tie into his plans.
L had just gotten his hands on a Deathnote, and at this rate he would know KIRA's identity in no time. If L didn't die in the next few days Light was sure he would be convicted of being KIRA. Fortunately, the current situation was working just as he had planned, and L's death was going to happen tomorrow at the latest. But now…
His thoughts raced as he felt a little panic beginning to overwhelm him.
L already believed Light to be the first KIRA, and if he 'ran away' from the task force with his family in tow the rest of the detectives would be quick to follow L's line of reasoning. Not only that, he wouldn't have a Deathnote, and Rem would have to follow him soon. He grimaced.
As Light's brains made multiple calculations Sayu slammed her hands onto the dining table.
"What? Why?!" Struggling to come up a word to describe her shock Sayu just began to shake. "Dad… You can't make us…" She said quietly as Light's head absentmindedly nodded in agreement. He was currently stuck on the question of what the hell his father was thinking.
Sochiro sighed and glanced at his children.
"I'm sorry, but we're moving and that is final." He said and he stood up.
Light stared at his father, letting the all too real emotion of betrayal show.
"Now go and pack your things." Said Sochiro as he attempted to hide the shaking in his limbs.
Sayu's chair clattered as she ran out of the room with a sob. Sachiko followed as Light stepped towards his father and stopped as he came a foot away from his face.
"Dad, if we leave now.." he said as emotion tore over his face. How dare he do something like this? Did his father want him to be convicted?! Light's mind was still creating different scenarios and the outcome stayed the same no matter what happened. At this rate he would be sentenced to death before the week was over…
"Light, I'm sorry. We have no choice." Sochiro raised his head and roughly grabbed Light in a tight hug.
Light's eyes narrowed as he hugged his father back. His entire plan was about to fall to pieces. He was about to be arrested as KIRA and his father said 'sorry'?
He pushed away and looked into the man's eyes. Light noted the subtle despair echoing through them and briefly wondered what was driving his father to create such a problem to begin with.
"Why don't I stay here with the task force?" He suggested with a smile.
His father shook his head sadly as he held back tears.
"I'm sorry." He said one last time as he hung his head in defeat. He was condemning his own son, but if Light stayed he would die. Sochiro clenched his fists in anger at the current situation. He inwardly swore that after this entire thing was finished he would clear his son's name, or admit to being KIRA himself.
At seeing his father's resolve Light's eyes grew wide
"Dad. I'm an adult by the law, you can't possibly make me go with you." He said as he made a small motion with his hand to try to convince his father. Unfortunately Light was highly aware of the gun attached to his father's side, and the twitching in Sochiro's hand didn't seem like a fluke.
Sochiro sighed and smiled at Light sadly. "This is life or death Light. I'll explain everything after we leave, but we only have a few minutes to prepare."
Light stood still as his father pushed past him to help Sachiko pack a few items up.
He trudged over to the phone in a daze and quickly called Misa. If his father was serious then he needed a Deathnote, even if it looked suspicious. Light's mind was still working on a plan to avoid as much suspicion as possible.
He glanced at his father and mother as they grabbed suitcases into their hands. He numbly thought about running back to HQ , but his father looked…
Frightened. And his father never, never had that fear in his eyes. Not when he had seen Rem, not even when he almost shot his own son. Something was going terribly wrong very quickly.
Misa answered in a cheerful manner, but Light whispered quickly to shut her up.
"Misa, bring it to my house. Now." He said as his father looked towards him. He said a quick goodbye to a very confused girl and looked at his father.
"I'm saying goodbye to her." He said as normally as possible. Sachiko frowned at her husband as she sighed and whispered "Hurry."
Sayu was in shock at this point and Sochiro was so focused on calming her down that he agreed quickly.
"Be back in twelve minutes Light." He said with a warning in his voice. Light was seriously getting worried about this. 'Did someone die?' He wondered as he raced out of the house.
He ran into Misa a few blocks past his house.
"Light-kun?" she squeaked as she tried to catch her breath. Light quickly looked at her as she handed him a box. "I brought it.." She said as she awkwardly held it out. "Um, is everything okay?" She asked as she stared at his face. Light seemed… Different.
Light placed his hand on the box and pulled it towards himself. "Okay Misa, I'm going to take this." He said as he looked at her eyes. "I want you to give it to me. Okay?" He said, hoping Misa would catch on. He couldn't be certain if she was followed or not, but he was running out of time. And being caught by L because he was in a rush would make him the laughingstock of the entire world.
Misa stared at Light as she frowned a little. "Okay…" She wondered what Light was doing, but she trusted him. She muttered "I give it up." And her eyes went blanch as Light opened the box.
Ryuk chuckled as Raito also forfeited the other Deathnote and took possession of Misa's. He quickly grabbed her limp body and directed her to go back home. She agreed and slowly walked off.
Light tucked the note underneath his shirt. He needed to get back home soon or the time limit would be up, and the fear in Sochiro's eyes made him wince at being late. Light may have been a genius killer but he knew his father, and nothing would make him condemn Light to being KIRA…
And yet he was. Something drastic had happened over the past day, and Light was determined to put the puzzle together as soon as he got back home.
As he turned the last bend before his house he looked at the sky and almost tripped from surprise.
There was a… Skull?
In the sky…? His eyes narrowed in confusion as he noted cloaked figures trudging towards his house.
He looked towards Ryuk in confusion, but the shinigami looked less than helpful at the moment.
"Hm, Light. Wonder what that is." He chuckled as Light swore and rushed into his house to have his father grab his arm.
Suddenly he felt something pulling his navel and he remotely wondered why the world had decided to go completely insane today as his vision turned black.
I know, it's super fast paced but it will slow down. I hope D:
Review?? :D???
