Tsukiyo: Alright! I have to apologize ahead of time for the extremely short chapters in the fanfiction and for the delays to posting up the more recent chapters. I do not write the chapters in order so bear with me while I am working on this! The Latin song below is called Lilium and it is the theme song for Elfen Lied.
Kitsune found herself constantly drifting off into her own little world while she was on the plane. She kept shaking off her current train of thought and repeatedly scolded herself for her inattentiveness. Once she glanced over at L or as he prefers Ryuzaki Hideki. Watari was sitting adjacent to L while she was in the row across from the two. She frowned at this.
"Is something the matter Kitsune-kun?" L asked worriedly.
"No. I'm just tired and can't fall asleep." Kitsune lied. She was tired but she had something on her mind that she was not willing to express yet. She turned her attention to the young detective and his elderly companion. Watari was already fast asleep and Kitsune could hear him snoring very loudly. She stifled a laugh and thanked L for not putting her through that torture.
"Is Kitsune-kun amused by Watari's snoring?" L asked curiously.
"Yes. It reminds me of my father. He is very loud when he is snoring. He has sleep apnea for as long as I can remember." Kitsune replied. She let out that giggle that she had suppressed in her throat. Ryuzaki did not appear to be angry with her. In fact, he was quite confused. L turned back to face the airplane window after a minute and laid his head against the wall as if to get some sleep. In about ten minutes, Kitsune could tell that L had fallen asleep.
Kitsune had drifted away from reality and began to meditate on one of the things that were troubling her, L. It deeply irks her when she watches L hide behind a mask of lies and deception to work on a case. It was becoming increasingly apparent that something was extremely wrong but Kitsune could not put her finger on it. It felt as though L was drifting away from her and she was helpless.
Kitsune unconsciously started to hum quietly to herself. This behavior is quite normal for Kitsune and most of the times, she does not realize this. Somehow this song focuses her thoughts and makes her easily able to think clearly without problems. Her humming quickly turned into hushed singing. She closes her eyes and rests her head against the seat cushion while she is chanting the ancient lyrics that have been passed down through the generations since the beginning of time. The words flowed effortlessly from her tongue.
Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam
Et lingua eius loquetur iudicium
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem
Quoniam cum probatus fuerit
Accipiet coronam vitae
Kyrie, fons bonitatis
Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison
O quam sancta, quam serena
Quam benigna, quam amoena
O castitatis lilium
Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison
O quam sancta, quam serena
Quam benigna, quam amoena
O castitatis lilium
Her thoughts swirl together and the truth behind it is becoming clear to understand. L was trying to protect her from something. The motive for this is still unclear to her. Something is, indeed, very wrong. She watches as L slowly dissipates from her mind and is replaced by a man that is very similar to L. Kitsune recognizes the man from somewhere but she can't quite put her finger on who this man is. She listened as she heard her own voice covey two short, but odd lines.
But I, I know who
you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
Her eyes shot open immediately. Kitsune knew that this involved L in a very personal but in a very lethal way. First, Kitsune must determine the actual situation and the facts before she can act on impulse. She can already tell that something is about to change more than just L's life.
Whatever it is, it is bound to affect everybody close to me as well. I will have to maintain focus and meditate more often.
