Hey!! I haven't gotten too much going for my Code Geass fan fiction so, I may be switching back and forth between this one and Innocent Killer . Both of these fics have a high possibility of getting their titles changed as well and if I do so, I will let you guys know. ^^ Alright, well, here's my sequel to My Love's Murderer!! I hope you like it as much as the first. ^^ DISCLAIMER: I (Unfortunately) do not own Death Note or Within Temptation.
Song: Memories
Artist: Within Temptation (Off the Album: The Silent Force)
In this world you tried, Not leaving me alone behind...
"L, please don't leave me! Please live...don't go!! Not here, not now!" Katsuko begged and L kept his fading eyes on hers, tears dripping off his face as well.
"Don't ever...give up on yourself..."
...There's no other way, I prayed to the gods let him stay...
"...don't die--not here--not now--please--" she whispered as the past four months flashed before her eyes...
...The memories ease the pain inside, Now I know why...
Katsuko stood at the L's grave, her hand laid gently upon it...her scarlet hair flowing behind her in the wind...
...All of my memories keep you near, In silent moments...
Katsu blinked several times and the vision stayed where he was, and Katsu let go of the cross and walked slowly over to him.
...Imagine you'd be here...
L crouched down beside me and I tilted my head as I watched his bangs sway in the wind.
...All of memories keep you near, in silent whisperers silent tears...
It was just a hallucination...Katsu thought and covered her face with her hands, whenever I'm feeling extreme emotion, I get those hallucinations. I see him every time my feelings are at their climax, like just now...the confusion...the longing...
...Made me promise I'd try, To find my way back in this life...
"Whatever happens now...don't give up on this case...for me...always believe in yourself...don't lose hope...just follow your feelings...no matter what the circumstances are..."
"I'll never stop trying...to solve this case..."
...Hope there is a way, to give me a sign you're okay...
...A war sensation came over her face as she turned her eyes to the two visions standing behind the golden crosses. L was smiling, as was Light, his pale hands in his jean pockets. Light had black shinigami wings and lipped the word "Soon" to her...
...Remind me again it's worth it all So I can go home...
"You're never going to change," I teased and gave him a playful punch on the shoulder.
"Nope."
We both stood up and I kissed him sweetly on the lip before he was gone, just like that, and I was left alone again in the meadow.
...All of my memories keep you near, In silent moments, Imagine you'd be here...
Katsuko took L's hand and excitedly yanked him out the door...
People in the bleachers cheered as orange and purple fireworks light up the clear, black sky and Katsu's smile never faded. After a few minutes, L felt her soft hand take his and she rested her head on his shoulder. Feeling as if he couldn't be any happier, L let go of Katsuko's hand and snaked his arm around her shoulder and relaxed his head on hers.
...All of my memories keep you near, In silent whispers, Silent tears...
L carefully let go of Katsuko's lips, breathing silently but heavily. Katsu rested her head on his chest and he kept his arms around her body as if keeping her in a sanctuary.
...Katsuko had her head on the table crying hysterically...
...Together in all these memories I see your smile...
Katsuko's eyes glistened as she gazed at the soft smile spread across L's pale face. She didn't cry, but she felt like pouncing on top of him and hugging L until he couldn't breath. Slowly raising her hand to his, Katsuko lightly touched the cool, slender fingers laying on her scarlet hair and placed her fingertips between L's.
...All the memories I hold dear...
Katsuko stood at L's grave and studied one of the first red roses blossoming in the new, rich, spring soil. She reached down and pick it, then brought it up to her face, remembering the scent, remembering the feelings, remembering his touch...
...Darling you know I'll love you till the end of time...
L's face was getting dangerously close to hers...his sweet breath caressing her face...the sparks on his lips...
The rose stayed between them, their hands on the stem...his hands over hers...L's twilight lips tenderly pressing onto hers...
...All of memories keep you near in silent moments imagine you'd be here...
Katsuko walked down the dark road in the middle of the night, returning from her second trip that day to the cemetery. The stored memories and mental photographs of L's smiling face flashed before her tear filled eyes as she kept her hands in her jacket pockets, head hanging.
...All of my memories keep you near...
It's been three weeks since I last cried over him, she thought as the smiling face and ebony eyes. She looked straight ahead of her and the hallucination of L standing there with his hands in his pockets, messy black hair and faint smile looked back at her. She stared to say something, but he had vanished before the words could come out of her mouth.
...In silent whispers silent tears...
Wait! Don't go--! I don't want to be alone...both you and Light are...! Katsuko's tears dripped out of her eyes and trickled down her cheeks as she realized she had been reaching out her hand.
He's gone...they both are...she thought as she lowered her hand very slowly.
...All of my memories...
Katsuko flicked the tears off her face and let them trickle down off her fingertips onto the cement. She sighed heavily, her chest feeling like two hundred rubber bands were squeezing her body, and then continued to shuffle down the somber road, her scarlet hair fluttering around her face and waist, very much alone.
