Chapter 5

Nightmares

A/N: Hello there! Next chapter of this lovely sequel, I hope you enjoy!!!

"L! Look at me!"

He did, or at least he tried. He looked so strangely calm, despite his lover screaming with everything she had, "Don't do this to me!"

The room was spinning; so much was going on yet so much was still. So many memories flashed in her mind yet dreams of the future lingered at the edge, "L…please…"

He responded only a little, her long hair, sprawled across his aching chest was now tangled in his spidery fingers. He tried to smile, but it looked so pained. A choked sob ripped at her throat and she bent to his level, holding his body so close to hers, feeling the heat being ripped from him, "I love you. You can't leave me."

The painful smile slipped away as he closed his dark eyes, "I'll die without you! I can't do this on my own!"

His eyes softly fluttered open; glancing over her shoulder he moved his lips, no sound escaping. For a moment the woman forgot that she could read lips, and in that moment, she woke up.

Matsuda looked at the woman worriedly, "Llana are you ok? Was it that dream again?"

She nodded, "Yeah it was…but I'm fine, thank you."

The officer nodded and held her hand in his, fingers laced, and turned to look out the small porthole window of the plane.

Llana had had this dream many times, over and over. It was as if it never ended, and the end, had actually never happened. Even when Matsuda would wake her, she would not fall back into slumber, too afraid to see it through, too afraid to see what her mind had cooked up.

She sighed as she closed her eyes, telling herself not to sleep, just to rest. L's face appeared before her again. His lips moving silently, trying to tell her something and she just couldn't understand it.

"Passengers, please fasten your seatbelts, we'll be landing soon."

The woman opened her eyes as Matsuda squeezed her hand gently and smiled at her. She could only smile back at him. He had that effect. Whatever he was feeling, others felt it. He was excited and nervous, and possibly a bit scared, and the woman felt it all.

Matsuda sighed loudly as he jumped on the bed in the plush hotel room. Llana laughed and threw open the curtains, looking down at the city lights.

"Has Light called yet?"

"No. Misa has, she was really upset about having a different hotel from him." The woman sat on the bed, "I think Light needs the break."

She looked over at the clock; it was ten p.m. "Matsu we should get to sleep."

She walked into the bathroom but peaked back out when she didn't get an answer, "Matsu? Matsuda?"

Llana went back into the room and smiled at the man as he snored softly on his back. The woman changed her clothes and came back into the room. She softly kissed his forehead and whispered in his ear. Waking him enough to help him undress and get him in the bed.

Matsuda mumbled as she climbed in and immediately grabbed for her, pulling her body as close as possible. She snuggled into his chest and glanced up at his sleeping face, 'He's done so much for me.' She thought. She smiled before lightly kissing his lips, 'Thank you Matsuda.'

Llana really wasn't sure why she always felt as though she was being ripped from her sleep. "…ana! Llana wake up!"

The woman watched as Matsuda hopped around the room on one leg, trying to put on his sock. "Matsu, your gonna…" she trailed off as he fell over and hit his head, "…hurt yourself."

She climbed from the bed and helped him stand, sitting him on the bed. The man watched as she disappeared into the bathroom, coming back with the entire bag of ice from the bowl.

The officer flinched as she placed it on his head, "Now, slow down and tell me what's happening."

"We're here! Sorry it took so long!"

Llana went over to the desk where Light was sitting, "What's happening? Anything new?"

"No. We're just lucky that Aizawa was on the flight my dad took."

"He changed flights?"

Light nodded as the woman pulled out her computer, "Well, I still want to track him." She pulled up several windows filled with nothing but numbers and slipped in an earpiece.

The two males in the room watched as her hands moved quickly about the keyboard. Before long she had radars up with little bleeping dots on them. Matsuda freaked out, "Did you just hack the Japanese flight tower?"

"Yes Matsuda, I did."

She typed in some more things and gasped. Light put an urgent hand on her shoulder, "What?"

"The flight changed its course. Whoever we're dealing with just hijacked the plane."

"Shit!"

"Light you need to relax. I can't concentrate with the two of you freaking out." There were more taps on the keys, "Yuki."

"Yeah I'm here. Just heard the bad news, is everything ok?"

"No, I have more bad news."

"Oh goodness."

"Yeah. I need you to hack the Japanese flight tower and block anything they have on Flight SE333."

"Can do mama. What're you gonna do?"

"I'm going to track that plane myself. Open up the lines when I call back. We're gonna need to get the civilians out of there ASAP."

"Alright."

Llana ended the connection and continued to connect to the flight. "Matsuda, I need you to connect to the tower. I need you to pretend to be a worker ok? The last things we need are the hijackers knowing that they've been cut off."

Light was simply watching the woman; she could see the gears in his head turning. "Light."

"Yes?"

"I know what you're thinking. What can we do? How did this happen? How do we stop this?"

He nodded and she sighed, "Track your father's cell. We'll need to know where's he's going when he gets off that plane so we can get a satellite on him."

Matsuda waved the other two people over to him and his computer. "I got something from flight SE333. They say they are not hijacking the plane, they are only dropping off one passenger."

Light's computer beeped and he sat in front of it. Llana peeked over her laptop for a second, "What is it?"

"A message from Aizawa." The young man opened it, "He says the my dad and the man he got on the plane with are sitting next to each other. He says he can see them clearly and they aren't acting unusual in any way."

Llana bit her lip, "I'm guessing you know what to say to him?"

Light answered her by sitting before the computer and typing up a message. He sent a copy to the woman across the room, "Your plane has been hijacked, it's veering off course. They say they're going to drop off my dad somewhere. Keep an eye on them at all times. Are you sure the man is with my dad?"

She looked across the room at him, "What did he say?"

"He says that the man my father entered the plan with is sitting next to him quietly. And that everyone on the plane is calm, they don't know what's going on."

"I guess that's a good thing." She looked over at Matsuda who was concentrating on his computer. "Matsu?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you pull up the pilots of the plane?"

The man did as he was asked, "They both check out. The captain is a fifteen year veteran and the co-pilot is clean."

Light put a hand under his chin, "They are the one's flying the plane, there's no doubt about it. They were persuaded."

It was quiet for a minute before Light's cell phone started to ring. Llana noticed it was his personal one and he stepped into the hall. She sighed and rubbed her temple. Matsuda watched her from the other side of the room, "Llana?"

"Yeah Matsu?"

"It's gonna be ok."

She managed a small smile, "I know." She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to relax. It didn't surprise her that once again L's face flashed before her eyes, his lips moving in his steady silent message.

Llana relaxed herself, trying to fight back her tears, knowing it would be hard to tell Matsuda and possibly Light why she was crying. She calmly read his lips, the sweet lips that she could no longer kiss and almost gasped loudly at the name he spoke, 'Light.'

It wasn't long before Light entered the room and the woman snapped open her eyes, composing herself, "Who was it?"

"Misa. She was worried."

The woman nodded as her own phone started ringing. She answered it, "Hello?"

"Ideal, it's Near."
