Note of Love&Death

Chapter 4: Saki Riu

As they carried out my dead brother's body into the ambulance, there were plenty of others cars that came into our driveway, men in suits coming out. There was the Japanese Police Force there, and I was almost positive that they were here to ask questions. I swear that Kira did this. I gritted my teeth as tears flooded out of my eyes, dripping down my face. My mother and father, whom I have just reconnected with about 2 hours ago, were sobbing, my father consoling my mother.

"It's going to be alright, Reina..."

My mother sobbed, "But-but...Chris didn't do anything wrong! He was...He was a really great son!" She cried onto my father's shoulder.

I grimaced as they loaded the ambulance with the body.

"Excuse me, Miss...I'm Kanzo Mogi. Are you related to Chris Riu in any way?" A male officer with a big build walked up to me.

I sniffed, "He was my younger brother."

Mogi coughed, "I see. We have to ask you some questions...Were you there when he...Died?"

I blinked, "...No, not really. You see...I just moved back into the house just today, a few hours ago. I met my family, mother started getting dinner ready, father was in the living room, Chris was helping mother cook, and Rachel was in her room."

"Rachel?"

"My twin sister. We're not that close though...But I remember hearing her yell at Chris an hour or so ago...It got really noisy."

"And where did you move from, Miss...?"

"I'm Saki Riu. I...I can't tell you where I moved from, Sir. I'm sorry, I was put in secrecy."

He narrowed his eyes at me, "...Miss Riu, you must tell us where you were moving from. This information may help with the case."

I sniffed, "I'm sorry..."

He was silent for a moment, "Miss...If you don't prove your innocence, we may have to arrest you. This could very well be a Kira case."

I stared silently at him, shocked, tears still dripping, "...Fine...I came here from Wammy's."

"...Wammy's?"

"...Yes. Wammy's."

Mogi coughed, "What in the world is Wammy's?"

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"It is a school, Mogi. It is a school for people like L and Near."

"Watari!" I gasped, "What are you doing here?"

Watari, the owner of Wammy's, smiled at me, "Miss Riu, I am also involved in the Kira case. Would you allow us to invite you into our Kira case? You would be quite helpful."

Mogi gaped.

I blinked, shocked, as my sister, Rachel ran over.

"Saki! What's happening? What are you doing?"

I blinked, slowly turning my head to her, "Rachel...I just got invited to help out with the Kira case..."

She stood there, speechless for a minute, "...Are you...Going to accept?"

I turned my head back to Watari, "I...I don't know."

Watari nodded, "Of course, Miss Riu. But we must have you come back with us to talk about your brother."

I gulped, "...Alright."

Rachel stared at me sadly, "You're going to join, aren't you? You can't die, Saki. We only just had you back."

I smiled at her, my eyes drying up, "It's going to be alright. I won't die."

She smiled weakly back at me, walking towards mom and dad, who were still crying. I walked towards them, afraid to tell mother where I was going to go.

"No! You can't leave! You'll die from Kira!" She cried.

Father rubbed her shoulder, "Reina, Reina! Calm down! She's only going in for questioning...Come on, Reina."

Tears madly dripping down her face, my mother sniffled, "...Fine!" She bawled.

I nodded at them sadly, as I went towards the Police Force again, nodding to them, "I'm...I'm coming."

Watari smiled and nodded, "Of course. Thank you, Miss Riu. Now please excuse me, I need to call Near."

I tilted my head slightly to the right, "...Near?"

"He's another great detective. Excuse me." Watari left to make a call.

Another officer came up to me, with a boy with light bronze hair. around my age, following behind, "...Excuse me, Miss...I believe you are..." He looked at the clipboard in his hand, "...Saki Riu?"

I nodded slowly, scared of him. The boy behind him stared directly at me, glowering. That creeped me out just a bit.

"Alright, please come with me. I am Soichiro Yagami, this is my son, Light Yagami."

I blinked, "...Nice...To meet you...I'm Saki Riu." I mumbled quietly.

The officer nodded, "Yes, please go into the car."

I hesitated, gulping, "Uhm...Alright." I went straight to the car and sat inside. Light Yagami got in beside me, the officer and Watari in the front and shotgun seat.

"You seem nervous, Miss Riu." Light said quietly beside me.

I coughed, "Uhm...Well, I haven't really been in a police car, driving me towards their HQ...And, uhm, please. It's Saki."

Light laughed, "I see. Alright, Saki, you definitely have a reason to be nervous then."

Soichiro coughed as well, clearly not accepting what his son had said.

I smiled a bit at him, "...What other questions will you be asking me?"

"We could not do that in public, as there were reporters there. So we must take you back to HQ for further questioning about Kira." Soichiro said sternly, monotoned.

I pressed my lips together, "...Oh."

"Have you made up your mind to join the case, Saki?" Watari asked.

I swallowed, "Uhm, is it alright if...If I don't make that decision right now?"

"Actually, I believe it's better to wait. You must meet L and Near."

I widened my eyes, "You mean...The great detectives?"

Watari nodded, "Yes."

Light even gasped.

Once we arrived at HQ, I was surprised inside that there wasn't anything high-tech. Just plain old offices, desks, and junk.

"Watari." A boy who looked older than me and Light, with ash black hair, wearing a long-sleeve white shirt, with dirty jeans. I also noticed he wasn't wearing any socks or shoes...The boy who followed him seemed a bit younger than me, and was wearing a white shirt and pants, even his hair was white.

"Ah, L. Near. This is Saki Riu. She is the older sister of Chris Riu." Watari gestured towards me.

I bowed a bit, suddenly extremely self-conscious, "Uhm...Nice to meet you."

Near, I'm supposing, since L is the dark-haired one, nodded slightly, "Of course. I'm Near."

L looked very tired, "L." He turned to Watari, "Watari, how was the scene."

"There were many reporters...I believe this is the doing of Kira."

L and Near looked at each other, narrowing their eyes at me, "I believe there is another Kira now. Miss Riu, will you join us in defeating Kira?"

iMuffin: ooookay-this chapter is not as long. but for some reason, I really like the ending of this chapter. (: hope you like it too, yeah?
gawd, i wanted LightxSaki, but since LxLight is so damn popular, I couldn't bring it to myself to do that. XD
