It was chilly, the breeze was floating in from the window, making the
air crisp. I tugged at my blanket, still trying to find the little comfort that
remained. I just wanted to completely forget about Raye, Kira, everything.
But, life apparently had other things in store for me. I rose out of bed, and
stared at the mirror, observing my bedhead monstrosity. I just laughed and pulled a
brush through it, removing knots. Thirty minutes later, I was stumbling into my kitchen,
making coffee. I touched the hot liquid to my lips, and felt a burning sensation on my tongue.
A loud knocking sounded from my door, and thankfully this time I was dressed.
There stood Watari. " Soichiro Yagami had a heart attack." It felt as if my heart plummeted
to my feet. " Kir-" I began, but Watari shook his head. " No, the doctors say it was from
stress. But, anyway, L is in the car outside. We're visiting the hospital, so L decided he would take you with us." Watari said. I waited a few seconds, and nodded. " Let me get my laptop."
It was silent in the limo. L and I sat in the back seat, with a black glass dividing the back
and front. Watari would then be oblivious about what I was about to say. " Why did you
bring me? I could of drove myself." I stated. L shrugged, and continued to stare out the
tinted window. " Because, It's the least I could do after not seeking you out after
Raye's passing." L stated. I nodded, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening
to flow. Finally, one escaped my eye, and rolled down my cheek. I turned my head,
trying desperately for L not to see. Suddenly, I felt a cold hand touch my cheek, wiping the tear away. I jumped, and my face flooded with a blush. The car stopped, and I stepped out.
We walked into the large hospital, asking for the number of Mr. Yagami's room.
I was beginning to get anxious as we entered the room. Sitting in there was a boy
with light brown hair. But that's not what caught my eye. I froze, and stumbled backwards,
falling onto my bottom. A petrified expression plastered itself onto my face. A large,
black, grinning monster stood next to the boy. A grin was etched onto his face, as if it was
scarred onto it. " W-What the hell is that?" I pointed, and the others gave me a confused
expression. " What are you talking about, Ms. Penber? That's your name correct?" The boy,
Light, asked. The monster began laughing hysterically. " Allison, I believe it would be wise you sat down, your probably suffering from stress." L advised, and I sat down, staring at the
monster. Was I going crazy? Nobody else saw it! It couldn't of been real. Eventually
I walked into the waiting area, and sat down. I was slightly shaking. It had to of been
my imagination. I must of been still suffering from stress and grief of Raye's death.
Suddenly, I felt somebody tap on my shoulder. " Ms. Penber? Are you alright? I've been tapping
on your shoulder for last five minutes." Light laughed. I gasped. "I'm sorry! I've beem
rather spaced out for the past few days. Forgive me." I said, standing up. Light nodded.
" Can I speak with you outside? I have some questions for you." Light asked. I nodded,
and followed him outdoors. " What are your thoughts of Kira?" He asked. I frowned. I didn't like
how he was staring dead into my eyes. " He's no better than the criminals he's killing. Taking
the lives of people is worse than what half the people he's killing did. He's disgusting."
I sneered, letting my emotions get carried away. " I believe your brother has been killed
by Kira, is that correct?" He asked. I nodded, feelings hot tears run down my cheek.
" I believe Kira has the ability to kill people with more than a heart attack. I think
he manipulates them, also having the ability to use suicide has a killing option. My brother's
fiance thinks the same thing also. It would only make sense. I highly doubt the criminal during
my brother's bus jacking's death was an accident. Kira was on that bus." I stated. Light bit his lip. " Has anybody even informed you? Raye Penber's fiance died." He said. "No.."
It left my lips, and I sank to the ground, wrapping my arms around my legs. " How is it
that you saw that Shinigami?" He asked. SHINIGAMI? Everything was crashing onto
me at once, and I wanted it to end. I didn't answer. Light saw it too? " I bet you can piece it
all together now. My dad doesn't say your his best officer for nothing. You know who I am, and what I'm capable of." His words sank to my heart, and I rocked myself back and forth. "I'm Kira." He smirked. Tears leaked from my eyes. " I did not expect this. My father's best officer
in tears like a baby. Comical." He laughed. " Bastard!" I threw my fist at him. " It's alright
Ms. Penber. It'll be over shortly." He began writing on a piece of paper. " RYUZAKI!" I screamed, tears pouring from my eyes. Light smirked, and walked off, leaving me to die.
I felt an aching pain pound harder and harder in my chest. My vision was blurring,
but I saw L's big eyes, staring down at me. I couldn't tell what he was saying. In a second, darkness fell over me.
