Me- why hello there everyone! I'm currently on vacation right now and writing this in our hotel room haha. I forgot to bring my drafts of this chapter back at home, so it may not be exactly how I wanted it to go, but I tried as hard as I could to make it a good one! :D I hope you enjoy it! Andddd I don't own Death Note :
I fulfilled that silent promise. Together, we had countless experiences. Together, we enjoyed ourselves and each other. I will always love Linda, no, Angie. As though she were my own daughter. I doubt that I would ever get to experience having children in my kind of profession that I was aiming for. So these times here at the Wammy House, was like me having my own family. Before I knew it, months were passing me by right before my eyes. And I knew it. I knew that my times here at this home, was soon to end. I guess one would call it fate, I call it life. I awoke beside my little Angie. I could see that she would become a beautiful woman one day. Luckily not today. I don't think I could handle that. I assumed that Near and little Linda would soon realize there feelings toward one another. But sadly, I doubt that they would act out on them. Sometimes, that's just what happens. I hope that she doesn't hold back though. I want her to run towards the person she loves with as much strength as she could. Just as I would.
A small smile graced my features and I was startled to see Angie's eyes staring at me in confusion. I turned my head to the side in confusion.
"Umm, is something wrong, Angie?" I asked as I began to fidget uncomforted under her stare.
"what is it that you always seem to think about?" She suddenly asked after enjoyed my discomfort. She's becoming a bit too much like me. "And it's Linda, remember the rules here?" She asked, sounding like my rule loving Ninna, causing me to laugh.
"For one," I pulled her into a hug, "I think about how you seem to be growing up far too much. Also, how you should never let go of your love towards that special person…" I winked at her, causing her to face to turn a light shade of red. "And I promise, that I won't either!" I cheered as we laughed at ourselves. I struggled to get up and get changed, not wanting this day to begin. I stared at my luggage dreadfully and sighed. I then put on a pair of black overalls that ended mid thigh, one of the straps draping to my side lazily. Under it, I wore a black and white striped shirt that ended past my fingertips. The neckline falling at my shoulders, and on my feet were a pair of black converse. I sighed sadly as I pulled my purple umbrella and laid it at the door of the facility along with my luggage. From there, I walked back upstairs to wake the two troublemakers of the Wammy House. I opened Mello's door first. He was always so much fun to wake up. I taught Linda how to wake up these kids who always slept through the alarm clocks I gave them. I grinned as I walked up to his bed, I had debated on whether or not I should just pour water on him like last week. But I ended up deciding to actually be nice. In one way or another. I shrugged at my thoughts, and pulled out a….CHOCOLATE BAR! Those five pound bars, that is. I held it up to his nose and dragged it across so he would be able to grasp the chocolates fine scent. Just as I had thought, his body went rigged and his eyes opened as he tried to swipe the bar from my hand.
"Abbie, even if it's you who's doing this…If you don't give me that chocolate bar…I will attack you," he slurred out as tried to hold back his chocolate fanatic body. I laughed merrily. He always knew how to liven my mood. I rubbed his head like a mother would, startling the boy slightly. I then sat beside him on his bed. "You know, this is my last day…" I muttered out, staring around the room. Hoping that I could memorize the room so I could dream about returning. He turned his head away from mine, averting my eyes completely.
"I know. It's fine, everyone has to leave at some point," he shrugged, causing me to pout.
"I swear, blondie. If you forget me, I'm gonna find you and make sure you never forget me again," a evil laugh emitted from me causing him to twitch.
"I thought you were a good guy?" He exclaimed, trying to escape my arms that know attempted to hold him. Finally he gave in with a upset pout.
"I'll miss you, blondie," I smiled hugging him to me.
"Don't call me blondie…" he trailed weakly. His eyes suddenly snapped over to my chocolate bar that I happened to drop behind him. Are eyes met and static emitted as we both suddenly jumped for the bar.
"ahahahaha!" I laughed out darkly as I held it high above his head, away from his grasp. "try to grab it now, blondie!" I emphasized the word. He rose an eyebrow, and reached his arm up and grabbed the bar. "what the-?" I exclaimed, how in the world did shortie here grab it? I suddenly noticed that he was about a inch taller than me now. "you got taller?" I whined loudly, he growled and covered his ears.
"of course, you dummy! I'm a growing boy, it's only normal that I was gonna get taller than you," he laughed as he bit into his chocolate bar. I pouted sadly, I guess the kids really are growing up. He noticed my sad pout and pushed the bar towards me. "you can have a bite if you want…" a light blush on his cheeks which only darkened when I pulled him into a embrace.
"you're so cute! I'll miss you so don't forget, ok! I know that you can do good things for this world!" I smiled taking a bite out of chocolate and kissing his cheek before exiting. Leaving him in his room all alone with a two bites taken from my departing gift for him. He went to take another bite when he bit into something hard. He looked down to see metal.
"what the hell is this?" He asked out loud, pulling out a ring far too big for him with a silver chain around it. Inside was engraved the words, Never Forget. He smirked. "how could I when you go and give me this," and put the chain along with the ring around his neck, taking a bite of chocolate.
From there, I walked over to Matt's room. I smiled at his bad sleeping habits. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to prank him as much as Mello. Maybe it's because of how sweet he was. He really is a good kid. So instead, I decided to lie down beside him. Watching his even breaths before…poking his cheeks, repeatedly. I mean, who wouldn't! I always wanted to. They were just so cute and puffy. I smiled as his hand tried to push me away. So I held it to me and played with his hair.
"Hey there, Matt. I brought you a gift," I smiled as one of his eyes opened in interest.
"what kind…" he asked suspiciously. I grinned, I caught him. I pulled a bag with a number of games for his new gaming system. His eyes lit up as he tried to grab at it, like a greedy child. I laughed. I then held up a regular looking flash drive. "what's on that?" he asked as he held it in his hand, observing it like there was some type of code engraved on the outside.
"It's a kill code." I grinned as he looked at me confused. "if you're every getting chased and you need to wipe your computer, just plug this sucker in and within 10 seconds, everything will be absolutely crashed," I smiled happily as he looked at me with an impressed expression. He nodded at me and tried to grab the bags of games again. "tsk tsk, so greedy," I laughed as he grunted and crossed his arms. Turning away from me with a upset expression. "awww, I'll miss your cute little pout!" I pulled at his cheek again. Receiving a slightly harsh glare. He couldn't glare at me harshly, and he knew I knew it. I smiled. "Today's my last day, so I decided to give you something to remember me by!" I giggled as I held up a ring, the same I gave Mello and Near. From the type of people that they all were, Mello would most likely where it around his neck proudly, Near would hold onto it, not liking to wear extra bagging, he instead wrapped it around the robot I gave him. And Matt…He grabbed the ring and attempted to put it on his finger. But it fell off, much to his disappointment. "For now," I put it on a chain, "put it like this, and when you get older, you can wear it on your finger." I smiled as I put it around his neck. He nodded to me. Not much of a talker, this one. I stretched, my plane was a couple hours away. I got up to leave, but Matt's small hand pulled me back.
"I'll miss you, you and Mello are the only people I know who are like family to me…" he turned away from my amazed eyes. Not liking this much attention."that's the most you've said for awhile, huh?" I grinned, he talked the most when he gets excited, either over a game or a case. I hugged him to me like a mother would, just like I did with Mello. All of these children needed someone like a mother, I took that place for them. Now I had to go, and it was heartbreaking. I kissed his forehead. "don't worry about me, ok? I'll miss you so much. You probably know, but you're very important to me. There's a world waiting for you to explore, maybe one day, we may see each other again," I smiled as he nodded.
"Is it ok, if you wait for me?" He asked, I smiled and nodded. I stepped out of the room and after hearing some loud slamming noises, he came out in his usual clothes. "ok," he grabbed for my hand and the two of us started to head down, until Mello suddenly came out of his room and grabbed my other hand.
"jeez blondie, you take forever to get dressed!" I laughed as he squeezed my hand slightly in a warning of sorts. Together, we walked down the stairs in this house for one last time before I leave. When we entered the cafeteria area, Roger was waiting. It appeared that he just told everyone that I was leaving because they all had such sad faces."would you like to talk to them?" he asked, also gonna miss me. I mean, I kept all the kids in check from meddling around.
"Okay, hello everyone, I want you to know that I will miss all of you. While I was hear for the past years, I felt like all of you became part of my family and I will never be able to forget you. I know that you will all be able to help this world in some shape or form. So I ask only that you remember me for who I am, and I will never forget you," I nodded to all of them and everyone rushed at me in a giant hug. Together, we all took a picture. One picture that only I had. Some people didn't want their picture taken but they knew that it would be in safe hands. I would protect their secrets and their identities. Which, I knew all of them even though some of them weren't aware that I did. Only four children who were the closest to me, walked me to my taxi. I sighed, this moment was way to painful for my liking. I kissed each of their heads.
"Don't forget me," I smiled. And with that, I left. Leaving the Wammy House in the dust as the taxi sped forward to the airport. Everything went past me in a flash from there. From one moment, I was sitting in the airplane, thinking about how I would get into L's hotel. It was the getting in part that was easy, compared to the finding part. It was such a hassle. I'd figured that he had taken the Kira case after that big announcement of his. Thank god for streaming, otherwise I wouldn't have known what happened in that part of Japan from England. Then I was in a hotel, sneaking into the police station. My hair tied back with a short black wig on, with some bandage on my chest to cover it, and some make-up. I looked like a 25-year-old boy. I had to give props to the teacher from the school who taught us how to disguise ourselves. I was surprised at how easy it was to sneak into one of their meetings.
"Ano, who are you?" A voice asked me, startled I turned around to see a young looking man. Maybe it's not exactly that easy to get in.
"Oh, hello!" I smiled. "My name is Aaron Setaski, I'm new to the kira case," I smiled, bowing to him slightly.
"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm part of the case too! My name is Matsuri," he smiled holding his hand out to him, which I shook. "wow, you have really soft hands. Kinda like a woman," he aired, causing me to flinch. Crap, don't tell me he's on to me? "n-not to say that you're like a woman, just that-" he panicked.
"I think Matsuri is just babbling now. I hope he hasn't done any harm to your pride," A older man laughed. I turned my head to the side slightly.
"No, it's okay. And who are you, if I may ask?" I asked in curiosity.
"Hello, I'm the chief here, Mr. Yagami," he nodded. I smiled at him and began to talk to him about his family and the case, befriending him. I suddenly looked at the time and flinched, worry on my face as I scanned my body. "Is something the matter?" He asked, worried.
"Oh, it seems I forgot my phone…I promised my girlfriend that I would call her today. She lives in a hospital in America right now, so our times our a little different. This is the only time when I can call her…" I slurred, pain on my face I slumped over. "Do you know if there's some kind of a pay phone near by?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"I'm sorry, no. But if you wish, you can use mine," he supplied kindly. I thanked him repeatedly as I walked over to the door slightly looking like I was dialing when I was actually planting a bug so I could listen to his conversations. He edged closer to me as I held the phone up to my ear.
"hey there, how have you been? I miss you…I called to tell you I love you…Haha, yes, I know that you already know that. Please get well soon, ok, bye Amber," I smiled slightly and closed the phone and handed it back to the Chief.
"Amber's a pretty name," he suddenly said, startling me and a deep blush covered my face. I was tempted to say thank you."Yes, it is, she's a amazing person," I smiled, inwardly I was getting a bit to cocky. "I should head home before it's too late, thank you Mr. Yagami," I waved before leaving smiling at my success. Not bad, I thought. With that, I just sat and waited, trying to get as much information on the case as I could. I was even more surprised when I found out that L was going to meet with some of the members in the police station in a week. This was the perfect chance though.
Everything was planned, and I checked out of the hotel, with my small luggage in toll. Their meeting should be starting soon. I sighed, what would I do in the meantime? I decided to walk around the city, I spotted a little café and went in. There were so many sweets, I had to come back here one day and get L something. I made a mental note of where the place was and continued to walk around. I would give L three hours to finish talking, I had two hours left from that assumption. As I walked around the place, I suddenly realized I was being followed. I began to panic. No, no need to panic. It's fine as long as you make your way back to where its more public. I turned left, thinking it was where a street to the hotel was. I mentally hit myself when I realized that it was a dead end. I forgot, I had terrible direction skills, as well as luck. I turned around sharply to see that I was now cornered by five men. Shit. The ratio of me being able to survive. Not that high. I cursed inwardly. I pushed my luggage to the side of me and took a fighting position. This was not a good position I found myself in…I specialized in computers, languages, and decoding. I only had a vague knowledge on fighting. I might be able to make it if there were three of so guys. A couple of the assaulters brought out a knife. Crap, maybe if there was one guy…And with the sound of a rat scurrying past this scene, one of the men leapt towards me and it began.
All I felt was stabbing feelings throughout my body, but I tried to block it out and fight back as hard as I could. I'm not a fighter. So I was most definitely losing. I was dealt an estimated five bunches per arm, and two of them held one of each of them. My legs swung and knocked one of the men out receiving a sharp slap which burned my face. One man tried to caress my face, only to get bit. Angry he threw me to the ground, receiving a mouthful of the ground. The man's knife suddenly came across my back and left a deep mark. Crap, I liked this shirt a lot…He yelled profanities at me, trying to tame me. Too bad the last man who tried to do that couldn't, and he was FAR worse than this punk. I bit my lip to refrain from laughing as the man swung his knife like an idiot. Cutting my arms and legs. If it wasn't for the sound of police sirens coming my way, I would have most likely have been killed or raped in due time. As they ran away, I managed to regain my bag and walk away. I had to. I made a promise to L that I would meet with him again and one to Angie. I walked forward, expecting to have to deal with police. When I suddenly felt wind pass me by along with the police car. Surprising me. As I walked down the street, blood coming out of my body everywhere, bruises forming. No one even gave me a second glance. It's like they couldn't see me. No. They didn't want to see me. They didn't want to admit that such a thing could actually happen. I noticed a little girl pull on her mothers top, pointing at me. Her mother simply hushed her and they walked away, avoiding me and my disgusted eyes. How pathetic, I thought to myself as I walked forward. I finally made it to the hotel L was staying at. I climbed stair case after stair case until I finally made my way to the correct door. It was the only one in the entire floor with light emitting from it. It had to be him. With that, I opened the door to see the man who's phone I had bugged, and the boy, now a man, who I had never stopped thinking of since the day we parted. I watched as his eyes widened in surprise. Suddenly, it felt like the world was on my shoulders and I became to collapse right into the arms of L. I smiled up to him, tears brimming my eyes. "I finally came," and then I was met by darkness, no longer able to hold on. I barely managed to hear L's voice.
"yes, you finally did," and the words coursed me into the direction of sweet dreams.
Me- Yayyyyyy! I finished the next chapter, woohooo! Don't forget to review xD they mean so much to me! Haha, next chapter is coming soon!
