Death Note
River and the Roses
Previously on Chapter 5: Rosalita fell to her knees, dropping the notebook on the ground as Light ran to her, taking her into his arms tightly, Rosalita placed her hands on his back in tears but you couldn't tell for the pouring rain hid that scene. Rosalita cried, sniffling as she rested her head on his shoulder, he held her even closer as the shinigami belonging to the notebook appeared, watching as not to say a word. It was the shinigami named Rem.
Near and Rester had followed behind, allowing the rain to wash the blood off of Near's face, his head hurting pretty bad and Rester managed to remove the glass from the screens that may have gotten stuck into his head, wrapped his head. Near winced, but seeing Rosalita and Light, he was glad to know that they were at least alright.
Please R&R!

Chapter 6
Control
"We have to get you home." Light spoke out to her but Rosalita only remained silent. Bringing the notebook close, Rosalita repeated its title; Death Note, and looked at it. "No Rosalita, keep it hidden." Light replied quickly, allowing the rain to soak them.
Hiding the death note in the corset she seemed to always wear… to her it was far more comfortable to wear than a bra strapped tightly around your chest.
Standing with Light's help, Rosalita wrapped her arms around herself and looked forward among them, it was Near and Rester. "I have to see if my father is alright, I'll meet you back at home." Rosalita hugged him tightly as Light walked her over to Near.
"Are you alright father?" Rosalita asked, Near nodded his head carefully and turned to Rester as they began heading back. Rosalita headed with them with Light until he had went home after making sure Rosalita safety got to the building with the two.
Near sat down but he didn't sit himself down on the floor, he sat on the sofa quietly until he noticed Rosalita sitting at his side. Everything became so silent that Rosalita was thinking, she looked at the screens and found them shut off, one was broken due to earlier. Rosalita tried not tearing up. "Are you alright?" She had to ask since she felt his pain, she wanted to blame herself.
"I want to make sure all the glass pieces have been removed." Was the only demanding line that escaped her lips as she came closer to her father.
Allowing her to do so, Near leaned back as Rosalita began unwrapping his head carefully. Rosalita tried remaining calm when she saw the blood. She could smell it and it smelled almost like rotten eggs and warm milk to her, she than began having flash backs that had been taunting her ever since she was a little girl. Gaining self consciousness, Rosalita carefully looked through and pulled a few glasses which caused Near to grip onto her arm quickly with a small wince.
"There, they are all removed…" Rosalita stated wrapping his head carefully so that he wouldn't feel too much pain. Near opened his eyes to look at his daughter and smiled lightly. "I am sorry… this is all my fault." Rosalita admitted, blaming herself. If Rosalita had never came to him or even came one contact, the ones who murdered her mother would have never harmed Near. Rosalita hid her face in her hands and slumped forward crying. Her father looked at her with a sigh. "It's alright Rosalita. This isn't your fault. I was too careless." Near replied straightly, moving as he carefully got onto the floor near a blank white puzzle.
Rosalita was worried; she couldn't help but think about what had happened to her father, she had known that nothing bad would've happened if she would've just remained away from her father. Rosalita left the head quarters, giving a glance to the task force members as they nodded and went on with their job.
I just don't know what to do. Rosalita thought, looking down as she walked on, carrying her bag. She had to go see L, she wanted to see if he was alright at the least… he had been acting ill lately to her eyes.
"I sure hope everyone is ok at the least." Rosalita thought. Everything was just different to her now. The air smelled of oil and gas the at least, probably because of the automobiles and technology now a days, trash stacked in some areas of the city, drunk men hanging around bars, lights and apparently, a blimp. What a city life.
Rosalita finally arrived, going through a scan and soon entering in once allowed and smiled, the task force members ignored her as if she didn't exist and the only person who came to pay attention was L. The private detective who always slumped forward, hands on his knees, sometimes he would be eating something, or playing with something in the matter. Rosalita smiled lightly as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "How are you doing L?" Rosa asked him kindly. It had taken him a few moments to answer to her, but he didn't look at her, he kept his eyes to a computer screen in front of him.
"I am well. You?" he asked quietly, straightly as always. L turned to her, taking in her image. Long white hair, she wore dress clothes of course, as always. Rosalita was wearing a black dress coat and carried a small hand umbrella. She placed the umbrella aside and sat down.
Rosalita smiled, sitting at his side as she gave him a light hug. "I am good." Rosalita added kindly as always. She had just come here to check on how he was doing, and lately he has been acting quite strange. Was he having health problems? Rosalita would sure check into that if so, she is a trained doctor after all, but something was slightly changing her mind and she couldn't quite find out what she really wanted. Being a doctor was her dream since the end of elementary school and well… now she was feeling like she wanted to do something else with her life but still remain a doctor, perhaps a doctor to her love and L? L sure would trust her wouldn't he? Rosalita smiled lightly and removed the dress gloves she wore and placed them aside with her bag and watched the screens for a moment and sighed. She could have Light stop being Kira couldn't she? He seemed to be wanting to do anything for her… it was strange because Light never really loved someone completely and when he and Rosalita got together, it seemed like that the kira would now do anything for her, but he would never harm her, or let harm come to him and in return, Rosalita dared not tell anyone that he was the true kira, the 'god' of the new world. Rosalita loved Light so much she wouldn't expose him like that, not even if he dumped her, she would still keep it all a secret and act like nothing really happen, and she would act like she never really cared what the kira was doing to keep the world perfect… but laws are made and not everyone follows them completely… people are always either bending the laws or breaking them constantly.
Rosalita smiled. "I am not staying long, I want to get back to Light soon." Rosalita replied, she had promised to return to him after making sure her father was alright but something told her to pay a visit here to L to check in at least. L cared for her, as if she were a member of his task force and as a family…
Yes, L was nearly born with out being with parents and family, so who he kept family was Watari, and perhaps Rosalita herself and Rosalita kept him close as an older brother but at times, she would act like the older sister to him. She didn't like his sugar addict, but it was him and there was nothing she could do to change his appetite. L thought of the sugar because it is good for thinking and for the brain? Rosalita didn't really believe it but it was really good to have a balance amount of sugar running in your body.
At least L wasn't fat.
L was just quiet and it was late at night, everyone was quiet, not even Rosalita was talking and babbling as usual. The girl looked at L before standing to her feet.
"I will see you perhaps tomorrow." Rosalita added, putting her gloves on, putting her dress coat on and buttoned and picked up her bag containing her laptop and a few other notes and files from medical school.
L nodded and just walked with her to the door and watched her as she left, soon turning and retreating to the couch, hoping up and slouched forward in front of a cup of sweetened tea, a glass chess board, and a few other things like Danishes and cookies.
"I do hope she makes it back home alright." Was all that escaped his lips, nibbling his thumb as he remained quiet, just staring at the chess board as if he was thinking of a strategy. The task force members turned to him but soon looked away.
Meanwhile,
Rosalita made it home but quietly entered and locked the door behind her and safely made it back to Light's room, opening and closing the door lightly and quietly placed her bag down and soon getting her coat and gloves off.
Until she heard someone speak.
"Rosalita, what took you so long?" came from Light, who seemed to be laying in bed, his eyes closed as if he were sleeping but actually startled Rosalita as she jumped. "I stopped by to see L real quick. I apologize." Rosalita added, crawling up onto the bed beside the brunette and kissed his cheek with a smile. "I apologize for making you wait for so long." Rosalita stated and kissed his cheek again, crawling under the covers at his side and gave a soft sigh than a yawn. She was tired of course and it was late.
Chapter 6 Review: Rosalita had a few moments to apologize, but apparently the killers who murdered her mother long ago are returning to take what they want, the death note Rosalita stole and Rosalita's life!
R&R!
