Daughter

It was a dark and gloomy afternoon. The Nurse and a few others went out finding her, as she missed lunch. Hadn't been in her usual place, by her favorite sakura tree.

As time passes, the leaves were shedding. It was Fall after all, and it was slow.

As it began to pour, they ran inside for shelter. The Nurse was upset and scared for that poor girl.

The Warden, didn't seem to care much. She was rather annoyed and not happy with the Nurse one bit. Blaming her, for such neglect.

"Weren't you the one who always stood by the sidelines checking to see it they were doing okay?" She asks, annoyly.

Rolled her eyes at her direction, then looked over to her Documents.

"Looks like she's dead to us, now."

"Nah... No. You can't give up. She has only been lost for several hours. Not days. You can't just rule it out like that, so soon."

"Whatever. It is your problem, not mine."

Kyoto, left after that. Wondering where else to look at.

A child came to her, took her to see what he found the moment she was talking to the Warden.

"Look Kyoto San." He pointed at the fence.

"That wasn't there before..."

It was big enough to allow anyone to crawl in or out. And that's when her nerves went out of whack.

"No. She can't be... I wouldn't forgive it..."

She ran to the Warden, but she simply grunted.

That was no help at all.

By this time, the rain stopped for a while. The three men were killed instantly. All the poor girl did was cry and wipe off the tears and that only drove more tears out.

" Huh?! " She noticed it lay there, only standing up. Took it and ran out that abandoned house. There were nothing more than trees and bushes here. It was getting late, it was already sunset hours. And at this time, the days were shorter than usual.

She picked the only direction that seemed reasonable. Not asking herself to turn the other way. She stook to this one, til she noticed lights.

"Hey!" She heard the voice.

"Don't you know, you'll get sick?"

She walked towards the elderly lady.

"We were about to close for the night, but she noticed you. What were you doing out this late?"

He asks as she brought down some hot tea. And milk. Assuming she may choose one or the other.

"You're very cold." She said, as she noticed her feet nearly going blue. It wasn't snowing. It is were, she would have been dead.

"So, where are your parents?" The elderly man, asks.

"I am a ophran."

"Oh Deary..." She then came, and hugged her.

"Come." As she took her by the hand.

"You'll stay here with us."

The bed room, was small, but she was small; too. So, she got herself to bed, as the man stood by the door of the room and his wife gave the child a night kiss on the forehead.

"We'll have a great day, tomorrow. Night."

She looked around for a sec, at the ceiling. Too dark, with a bit of light coming from some candle. They used that room as storage space. So, lighting wasn't a thing.

And they're elderly. They forget things from time to time.

She understood that, even at seven years old.

The eyes, were shut at this point, but then the window opened. The latch, was locked by them. As her eyes wondered what it was. The wind from the cold rainy afternoon came in, hit like tornado.

Then, as she closed her eyes, again; under the blankets. The window got shut locked again.

She shivered, herself to sleep.

The Next morning. She came down, a bit scared and nervous.

"Morning, sweetie." They both greeted her and she greeted back.

"We've got a big day ahead of us, so eat up. You'll need it."

The table was full, she never seen this much food before. But as she began with a bit of rice and the fish pieces.

Everything else, she tasted was delightful. And she was already ready to get dressed for the park. She ran upstairs, not finished with her breakfast.

"You won't be hungry then?" The woman yells up to her.

He looked at his wife. "Just take it in a little lunch box, that way, if she she feels hungry then. She'll eat it."

The day went by, quick. There were farm animals that you could feed, pat, and talk to. It was the best day of her, life so far. She never seen such delight in a day. Since they were the opposite in that place.

The next, she was taken a back. They decided, without telling her. To take her back to her place.

"We understand, but we're too old for her. We can't last another tens years or so..."

She sat, by the stairs looking at them. Kyoto, came around.

"Sorry."

Sara looked up and then at them. "Don't be."

"Why not? I let you out of my sight... And I'm sorry that you couldn't stay with them, neither. They're both good people..."

"Kyoto San." She held onto Kyoto long, dress.

"It's not your fault."

Lets go. "I'm unlikable and will stay lonely forever."

"That's not true... Now what kind of talk is that?"

"My parents abandoned me. They never cared. Never loved me. And these walls are cold and sad."

Ryuk floated around. "Poor kid."

"I have nobody."

"You have me."

"Not like moms suppose to."

Kyoto looked at, as she sat next to her.

"Look, you're only seven. I'm sure, you won't be here forever."

"Then adopt me."

"Sara, it's not as easy as it sounds... I'm not married.."

"Then get married!"

"Whoa there..." *smiles* " Aha... Still not as easy as it seems. You got to understand, Sara... Okay?"

She looked away.

"Oh... I understand."

"Good." Getting up. "Now, I'll let the cooking team, that it's time for supper."

" I'm not hungry."

"At least a snack?"

Sara looked the other way, instead.

That night the similar weirdness, in her room. Crept in. Rattling came through the closet door, like as if someone was hiding in there. She only froze there, looking around and at it.

The darkness, mixing with the rest of the room. A full eaten apple was thrown out from the closet. Except the core, of course.

She only glared at it. And instead of investing it, she went to sleep. Figuring out, she was just too tired.

A week later, Kyoto had made a weekly movie night. And all the kids were there that evening, except for her. She came downstairs, though. It was too early to sleep, apparently. Well, her book was actually down here, she had left it, earlier. While she took another one to read.

At this, Kyoto caught a glimpse.

"Join us." She said, while the other kids, didn't seem to mind much.

She walked in slowly. Sat next to her.

"You hardly hang out around with the other kids."

Sara stayed quiet. She wasn't ready to talk, either way. And the movie had begun at this point on.

Once it was over, Sara was the last to get up off the carpet.

"Sara, let's talk." She said in her usual calm tone. It was motherlike.

"I..."

"Okay, well want to watch some TV with me?"

"Okay." She sat down. Kyoto noticed the black notebook, by her side.

"What's that?"

"A notebook."

"No, what's it... Like a Diary or...?"

"I love drawing."

"Oh, right I forgot. Silly me." Kyoto wasn't fully convinced.

But she glued her eyes off it, for the longest time.

"It Appears that the Man that was just in there, has collapsed. We Repeat. He Collapsed, suddenly. No word on whether he had a history of Medical Heart Problems or anything out of the ordinary..."

Kyoto gasped.

Sara, only watched. Senselessly at this point. Got up, slowly.

" Good night, Kyoto San. "

" Night. "

...

" KIRA? "

(( HYUK HYUK HAHAHA... *Chuckling through the night.))

She smiled, before closing her eyes that night.

The next day.

"Morning Sara."

Sara took her plate. "Morning."

She was usually the last one to get anything.

"We ran out of juice... Want milk, instead?"

Sara looked rather annoyed, at the other way.

"No."

Walking to her way over.

Kyoto, was still a bit curious of said notebook. But Sara was changing character, in a weird way. At this point. She wasn't going to ask.

Ryuk hung around even more. She hadn't noticed him, yet.

She laid on her bed, around that afternoon. Reading... Well looking over the notebook. At the names, she had wrote on it.

"I don't know what I feel..."

"BOO!"

Sara jumped, screamed and rolled over, wrapped herself in the blanket.

"Why you scared?" Looking right at her, as she looked right at him. His eyes were dark, he was definitely not human. A bit menacing.

"Wh... Oo... Who are you?!"

"The one who dropped that notebook. I am the Owner of said book."

"Then take it... Take it and go away!" Handing him the notebook.

"I don't want it."

She was shocked, and looked right back up at him, in disbelief.

"But you surely want it back."

"I didn't came for the notebook." He was dead serious and she was about to shit herself to death at this point.

He got closer to her face.

"You're here for my soul, right?" She asks, trembling in fear.

He pulls away. Laughing hysterically.

She was confused, now.

"I don't want that, neither."

"Then what do you want?" She asks angrily, now.

A knock came through the door.

"Sara?! Is everything alright?"

She looked at the door, expecting it to be opened.

Getting up from bed.

"I heard you scream. I came as soon as I could drop what I was doing... Are you okay? Tell me. Sara... Sweetie. I'm here for you okay."

(What's wrong? ... She can't see him?)

"I'm okay."

Kyoto then lets go. Handing her a apple.

"I'm good, thanks."

Ryuk got excited at the sight of an apple.

She looked over, and noticed Ryuk drool over the apple. Like a dog when he begs for a bone.

"Good night."

Kyoto left. Leaving Sara with the apple.

"You really like apples, huh?"

"Yes. Gimme Gimme."

She threw it.

"Oh God... Oh yes... It's been so long..." He began to tear up.

"They're not really that gre-..."

He placed his hand on her mouth.

"They're the best!"

She then sat on her bed.

"Tell me why, you're here?"

He looked over at her direction.

"Well... Because..." Pointing at the notebook. "When a Human touches said notebook of death. The Shinigami, that held on to said, notebook. Must hang around with said Human. Til the very Last Day of their Miserable Life."

He was in a serious dark tone.

Hmph.

"Besides, not to mention that. I know your Father."

She turned around to face him.

"What?"

"I knew that would be of interest to you."

"Yes?..."

"He used that very same notebook before you."

She looked at it.

"T-This was his?"

"Absolutely."

She flipped over the pages, closely. There were empty pages.

"He brunt all of the evidence. Besides, the notebook never runs out of pages." Hyuk.

She glared even more.

"Ryuk... Was his Promise to Create a Better World?"

Looking at him.

"Oh... Yes."

She looked out the window. As the sun was setting. The orange and red lighting, filled up the scenery. As the birds went into their nests, stray cats into some shelter, and the others close to bed.

Her eyes, were vibrant.

It filled the room with shades of light.

"I'll fulfill my Daddy's Promise."

"Oh?.."

"I want a better world for all that are good."

Ryuk gasped.

(Just like Light.)
