Matt: You ate Pumpkin Pie, didn't you?
Moi: Three slices, baby!
ROFL
Lawli's POV
We were sitting on the floor of Scarlet and Bri's room.
"Where do we go from here?"
"Dunno. We should probably call someone and clean up all of Scarlet-san's blood." Light said, his head resting in my lap.
"Yeah. Someone needs to take care of the body."
My blood ran ice cold. A crooked-grinned adult waltzed into the room.
"Beyond Birthday. You kill someone and you have the guts to stick around. You make me sick."
"I'm glad that I can get a reaction like that from the world's greatest detective."
"Watari knows you're here. I contacted him as soon as I could after you murdered Scarlet." I lied.
Matt flinched, and Light closed his eyes to stop tears. I stroked his hair.
"So I see you're not over her death yet. Steel your mind, Lawli-kinz."
"Why should I steel my mind more than it already is?"
"I'll make sure you crack." BB cackled and jumped out of the window.
I froze. No, he wouldn't…Yes, he would. He's Beyond Birthday, the serial killer.
"L-san, what's on your mind? You look troubled." Bri inquired.
"I…It's nothing. I'll deal with it myself."
"Don't push yourself, Lawli." Matt muttered.
"Ryuzaki, I'm afraid that there's a new student. Her name is Saki Ryuzaki."
His daughter is at Whammy's?
"Her father thought it best for her to stay here."
The girl walked in. She had onyx eyes, black, raven-like, spikey hair, and had bags under her eyes. She was my exact replica, just in girl form.
She was definitely BB's daughter.
"YOU! YOUR DAD KILLED MY SISTER!"
Matt lunged towards her. Light stood in front of Saki.
"Matt! She's not BB! You need to relax!" I yelled.
"Relax my-"
Saki's POV.
I stood in the doorway calmly, even when the kid with orange goggles lunged at me.
"You shouldn't pick fights with people you don't know." I advised.
"Don't talk to me like I'm a child!"
"My apologies, sir." I sneered.
He pushed Light aside.
"DIE!"
He threw a right hook and I blocked, countering with a sidekick to the stomach.
"She fights like BB." Bri muttered.
He tried to execute a takedown. I kicked his ankles, knocking his feet from under him. He fell backwards.
"Anyone else want a go at me?"
They all shook their heads.
"All righty, then. My name's Saki."
They looked at me like they wanted more information.
"I'm fifteen, I'm a detective, and my dad's a serial killer."
"I'm Matt, and this is Bri."
"I heard Melly-kinz is here. Where is he?"
"Mello is in the infirmary."
"Let's go pay him a little visit, shall we?"
"Yeah, all right." Lawli said.
Matt stood up and walked out. I followed him.
"What are you so pissed about?"
"Your dad killed my sister."
"I hate this! My dad is always murdering innocent people! No wonder everyone hates me and thinks that I'm to blame for people's deaths! I've gone to the police multiple times but he keeps evading them." I yelled.
"You don't think your dad's the best thing that happened to the world sinced pumkin pie either?"
"Damn right I don't. What's your backstory, anyway?"
"My dad's in jail for child abuse, and my mom's young in her coffin."
"I'm sorry."
"Whatever. I'm glad to be out of that hellhole, to be honest. And Scarlet is outta this hellhole we call life, so she's better off."
"Well that's one way to put it."
"What do you mean?"
"You see life as a glass half empty, right?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Think about how it feels to be alive. Now imagine all of that being ripped away from you. That's what dying is like. At least, that's what my mom said after my dad killed her."
"Whatddya mean, after?"
"I can see the souls of dead people."
"Is Scarlet-"
"No. She must've gone into the big streetlamp."
"You mean the light?"
"Whatever you wanna call it."
We entered the infirmary.
"Hey there, Melly-kinz."
"Clog it, Saki. You know I hate your guts."
"Because my dad tried to kill you. I get it all the time."
I got up to leave. Matt grabbed the back of my white tank top.
"Sit." Matt ordered.
It wasn't a request, it was an order. I sat down. Mello looked at me like I was insane.
"You never follow orders from anyone. What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. I'm fine." I lied.
"Liar. Even I can see that." Mello said.
"Piss off." I said, standing up again.
Matt pulled me back down.
"Stay."
I looked at him.
"What?"
"You're ordering me around like I'm some sort of dog."
"Woof!" Mello barked, literally.
"I, um, sorry about that."
"It's cool."
"I think that Saki-san's got a crush on Matt-kun!"
"I think that Melly-kinz has a crush on that Bri girl."
"Touche."
"Anyway, what were we talking about?" Matt said, taking the chocolate bars out of Mello's hands and putting them in his lap.
"Matt, he's gonna kill you."
"Nah, I've done this before."
Mello pleaded with Matt.
"I'm sorry, Matt! Just please give me back my chocolate!"
Matt responded by lifting them up above Mello's head. Mello leaned forwards and took Matt's PSP and his cigarettes.
"I'm going to pretend you didn't just do that."
I leaned forward and snatched Matt's stuff out of Mello's lap.
"Mine!" I said like the seagulls in Finding Nemo.
"Heeeeyyyyyyy! Give those back!" Mello cried.
"Nyah!" I said, sticking out my tongue.
Matt put the chocolate on my lap and took back his PSP and cigarettes.
"Trade."
"Yeah alright."
"Matty, why would you give my chocolate to her? Now I'll never get them back!"
"Damn right you won't."
"By the way, Saki, what's your addiction?"
"Depends on what you mean."
"Addiction, like Mello and his chocolate, Bri and her jelly bellies, me and my video games, etc."
"Oh that's easy. It's drawing. I like to draw everything."
"Really, so if I asked you to draw-"
"NEVER IN YOUR LIFE, MELLY-KINZ." I shouted.
Light waltzed in.
"Is Mello being creepy again?"
"When does he ever stop being creepy?"
"True, true."
Mello snatched his chocolate out of my lap. He looked at me triumphantly.
"I win."
I put my mouth right next to his ear and bit it. He gasped and I took back the chocolate.
"No, I win."
"No fair! That was a dirty trick!"
"Que sera sera, Mells. She wins fair and square." Matt said.
"Matt! You're supposed to defend me!"
I put the chocolate back in Matt's lap, got up, and left, not wanting to get involved.
"You are such a immature bitch! You can forget about me ever going out with you ever again!" Mello yelled.
Matt stormed out a few minutes later and tripped. When I ran to catch him, our heads knocked and his lips brushed past mine.
"Sorry!"
"Nah, it's cool. So you broke up with Melly-kinz?"
"Yeah. He's a controlling asshole."
"You're right, y'know? Mello really is a controlling asshole."
"Thanks?"
"No problem." I shrugged, pulling out a sketchpad. I drew Matt's profile.
"I have another question."
"Yeah?"
"Are you single?"
I laughed.
"Hell yeah. No one wants to be near a serial killer's daughter, remember?"
"Do you want to go out on a date with me?"
"Yes. You seem nice, and you're not a criminal, so it would be fun!" I smiled, "I turn sixteen tomorrow."
"Happy early birthday."
"I'm totally dreading it."
"Why?"
"Because it's two years before my dad's going to try to kill me."
"But, that's two years from tomorrow! That's enough time to catch him, right!"
"I've been trying to catch him for five years, Matt. I don't think it is." I said, my eyes downcast.
Matt leaned over and kissed my cheek.
"I hope that of in two years you and I haven't caught your dad, you don't die."
"I hope so too."
"How did you know to bite Mello's ear, though?"
"He and I were dating. He dumped me after two years."
"Why'd he dump you?"
"My dad tried to kill him. He said that it was the last straw and left."
"Do you blame him?"
"Sort of, I blame my dad, mostly. I'm still in love with Mello. I must sound so stupid."
"I think that you need to get over Mello. He's just another dumbass who wants something or someone he can't have."
"I know, but-"
"But what?"
"Never mind." I said, resting my head on his shoulder.
Matt pulled me into his lap.
"Saki-kun, I'm scared."
"Scared of what?"
"Beyond Birthday, your dad, said that he was going to make Lawli crack."
"Wait, did he say snap or crack!" I asked, alarmed.
"Crack. Why?"
"Oh crap, not again!" I muttered.
"What!"
"He said that he would make me crack before trying to kill Mello. He's most likely going to try to kill Lawli-pop's lover."
"Light!"
Light stumbled out of the infirmary, blood pouring out of a gash on his chest.
I jumped up and ran into the infirmary. Dad was standing there with a knife in his hands, licking the blood off of it.
"Matt! Get Light onto his back, now!" I yelled.
I heard a grunt as Matt lifted Light onto his back.
"Awww, my daughter's going to fight me. How cute." Dad smirked.
"I have no such intention." I said, putting my hands up and palms facing BB, "Oh Lord, let them be clothed with shame, those who magnify themselves against me, and rejoice in mine hurt. Bring rapture to my justice, so that these nations may know themselves to be but men. It is with this truth and loyalty that I shall take my vengeance."
My dad leapt out of the window to avoid my psalm of vengeance. I took off my tank top(I was wearing a spaghetti-strap underneath) and ripped it into long, thin strips to use as bandages for Light.
"I'll deal with this, you go and get help. Now, Matty-kinz!"
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Matt ran off as I ripped his shirt off, tearing it into strips too.
"This is going to hurt, Light-kun." I said, tieing two pieces of the my tank top together and wrapping them around part of the gash.
Weird, I thought, Light-kun's gash looks like a 13…or a B.
I pushed the thought aside and finished wrapping Light's gash in 'bandages'. He opened his eyes.
"What the-"
"B. That's what your gash is. Either that or a 13. But I think it's B."
"B? As in Beyond Birthday?"
"Maybe. Light, I'm going to lift you up. Don't fall asleep, 'kay?"
"Kay."
I lifted Light off of the ground and carried him into the infirmary. Mello looked at me.
"What?"
"What did you do?"
"You mean you didn't see Beyond Birthday attack Light!"
"No, I was immersed in my chocolate, sorry."
"Asshole." I mumbled grumpily.
Matt ran in accompanied by Lawli-pop.
"Light-kun!" Lawli-pop yelled, tears pouring from his eyes.
"Ryuzaki-kun…" Light murmured.
Two of the doctors raced into the room, and, seeing Light's chest, walked out. They returned a few minutes with a gurney. One of them placed Light delicately onto it, while the other looked at me.
"You're the one who saved his life, no?"
"Oui, il est moi." Yes, it was me.
"Merci. Mon anglais n'est pas très bon, j'ai peur." Thank you. My english isn't very good, I'm afraid.
"Ce n'est pas un problème, je suis coulant dans le français." It's not a problem, I am fluent in French.
"Merci beacoup, Saki." Thank you much, Saki.
"Je vous en prie, Jaque(A/N: Pronounced as "Jack")."
He followed the gurney out of the room and into one with a sign over it that said, "EMERGENCY ROOM". Lawli-pop looked like he was about to pass out. I took out my sketchpad, sat on the floor, and drew the infirmary. I shuddered involuntarily at the thought of Beyond Birthday(I refuse to call him my father now), killing Light. It would destroy Uncle Lawli-pop. Matt sat on the floor next to me.
"What's wrong, Saki-kun?" Matt asked, pulling me into his lap again.
I completely and utterly broke down. Matt held me. I sobbed into his shoulder when they put Light back on his bed, stiches holding the cuts closed, and bandages over his stiches.
"Are you okay, Saki-chan?" L asked.
I couldn't speak, so I just shook my head furiously. Matt hugged me closer. Mello looked at me like I was a stranger. I'd never broken down when I was dating him, that was apparently one of the things he admired about me. L came over and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Light-kun will be fine, Saki. It'll be okay."
I shook my head again. Matt got tired of my crying, and whispered seducively in my ear.
"Je t'aime."
I love you.
My half-closed eyes shot open when I heard him say that.
"Et je toi, Matt." I replied.
And I you, Matt.
Light grunted in his sleep.
"You're not BB…He looks like you."
"Un momente, sil vous plait." I whispered to Matt, getting up and putting my face in front of Light's. One moment, please.
"Wake up, Light-kun." I whispered.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD!" He said, his eyes snapping open.
I pinned him down by his shoulders. His fist came up and collided hard with my eye.
"LIGHT-KUN!" I shouted. It echoed around the infirmary.
Light's POV.
Realization flitted across my face as I realized what I'd done. I'd punched Saki in the eye.
I'd punched Saki.
"Saki-chan, I'm so sorry!"
She remained silent, still holding her eye.
"No, Light. Esto está bien. Seré bien, esto es sólo una contusión alrededor de mi ojo." No, Light. I will be fine. It is well, it is only a contusion to my eye.
"¿Usted está seguro? Golpeé su ojo bastante con fuerza. Estoy seguro que esto dolerá pronto." Are you sure? I hit it pretty hard. It will probably start to hurt soon.
"Sí, estoy seguro." Yes, I am sure.
"Okay,then."
Saki's POV.
My eye was throbbing. I was sure it was going to bruise pretty badly. I sat down next to Matt. He pulled my face closer to his, moving my hand away from my eye to get a better look at it. He apparently deemed it bad enough to ask for an ice pack. A bag of ice wrapped in paper towels were handed to him and he gingerly placed it to my eye.
"Ouch! Matt-kun, that hurts!" I wimpered.
"It's going to, but at least your eye won't swell up later." He replied.
I sat silently and he put my head on his lap, holding the ice over my eye. Near walked in.
"Hello, Saki-san. I am Near."
"Hi." I replied.
Matt hissed under his breath.
"Qu'est-ce que c'est?"
"He is a control-freak asshole. He's worse than Mello." Matt whispered in my ear.
L whispered something into Light's ear, and Light laughed, causing him to grab at his chest in pain.
"You got that right." He said.
"So what happened to your eye?" Near inquired.
"It got punched. Go away." I snarled.
Near spun on his heel to face Mello.
"See you later, Mells?"
"Yeah. See you, babe." Mello said.
Near left and I stuck out my tongue in the universal 'gross' expression. Matt nodded, dabbing at my eye with the ice.
"Thanks, Matt."
"No problem."
I attempted to take the ice from Matt, but he held it up beyond my reach.
"I can manage icing my own eye, Matti-kinz."
"I want to, it's fine."
Matt must be a seme. I thought. He certainly likes to be in control.
Mello looked at me and Matt and his face almost turned green with envy. Who he envied, I don't know.
"Is Mello jealous of Matt and Saki?" Light asked, smirking.
"No!"
Mello turned his head to face the wall. We left him to his sulking. Bri walked into the room.
"I saw Near and he said that you guys were in here. Hey Mells, how're you doing?" She asked cheerfully.
"Fine." He mumbled.
"Geez, Light-san. I didn't think you'd get attacked by BB. And Saki-san too? His own daughter?"
"No, I did that." Light said, his face turning bright red.
"You punched Saki-san in the face? Smooth move, slick."
"Matt's got it under control."
"So Matt, I hear Mells dumped you. Sorry. I know you liked him a lot."
Matt cringed. I reached up and pulled his head down so that I could kiss him on the forehead.
"Je t'aime." I murmured.
"Aishiteru." He breathed.
I let go of his head and he held the ice to my eye. One of the doctors handed him a new bag of ice and he switched the bags. L looked at me and Matt curiously.
"What is it, L-kun?"
"Why is it that Matt-san feels the need to care for Saki-chan?" He inquired.
"Parental reflexes in the brain cause reactions like this when someone who is close to the person is injured, whether physically or emotionally." I explained.
"Doctor Phil?" Matt chuckled.
"Damn straight." I laughed.
Everyone but Light laughed. He wanted to, but his chest hurt and he didn't want to push it.
"Thanks, Saki-kun, by the way."
"No problem. It would've destroyed a lot of people if you died."
Matt pressed the ice down on my eye harder than he meant to and I yelped. He quickly apologized and returned to icing my eye.
"Thank you, Matt-kun."
"It's my pleasure, Saki-chan."
Bri went to go get lunch. She returned with a tray full of bento boxes, water bottles, and chopsticks.
"I don't know how to use chopsticks." Matt admitted.
"I can take care of that." I said, trying to sit up.
Matt moved his head back so that I could sit up without causing a collision and I picked up a bento box.
I picked up some food with the chopsticks.
"Open your mouth." I instructed.
Matt obliged, and I put the food into his mouth. He chewed, decided he liked it, and swallowed. We kept on like this until Matt was full. I wasn't really very hungry, so I didn't eat lunch. Matt looked at me.
"You're rib-skinny, but you're not eating."
"I'm not hungry." I said, talking over my stomach growling.
"Just eat the damn food." Matt said, spearing a piece of chicken. He pulled my bottom lip down, opening my mouth, and slipped the chicked through. I had never tasted anything so delicious in my life.
I smiled, and Matt handed me chopsticks and a bento box. I devoured it quickly and hungrily. Matt stared at me.
"What?"
"When was the last time you ate?"
"About two weeks ago. Why?"
"Have you 'not been hungry', or did you not have any food?" He asked.
"I didn't have any food. What was I supposed to do? Eat people?"
"No, but you could've come here sooner."
"My plane ticket wiped out my savings. It takes three days to get here from Tokyo, my bad." I explained.
Matt handed me another bento box and I ate everything in it. Again. I reached for a third.
"Does anyone else want this one?" I asked.
Everyone shook their heads. I grabbed it, opened it, and ate half of the food. I sighed happily.
"It's amazing how much better food tastes when you're starving." I remarked.
"I know, right?" Matt said, pulling my head onto his lap and placing the ice over my eye again.
L chuckled. Bri pointed to my most recent bento box.
"You gonna finish that?"
"Nah, you can have it."
Bri picked it up and started eating. Matt leaned over my face and looked at my eye.
"Looks like you've got yourself a shiner." He laughed.
I nudged him with my elbow carefully before scooting away from Matt, getting up, and running to the nearest bathroom, holding my stomach.
Matt's POV.
I watched with surprise as Saki ran out of the room, clutching her stomach. I got up and went after her after Lawli nudged me with his toe. I saw her fall to her knees, vomiting all over the floor. I ran over and caught her after she began to fall, unconscious. I picked her up carefully and raced back to the infirmary.
"Matt, why are you and Saki covered in vomit?"
"Never mind that, I need a doctor!" I yelled.
"What?"
"ARE YOU DEAF! I NEED A DOCTOR!" I screeched.
One of the doctor's from before came racing out.
"What happened? Why are you covered in vomit?"
"Saki vomited all over the floor a few meters away from here. She's fallen unconscious!" I said, my words jumbling themselves together.
He took Saki from me and carried her into the emergency room. L took me to get a change of clothes for both me and Saki. I grabbed her a white belly shirt and black skinny jeans(She had those and shorts). I donned my usual stripes and jeans and we went back to the infirmary. I sat on the floor next to Light's bed, hugging my knees. Bri came over and put her arm around my shoulders. I broke down sobbing.
The doctor came out, a grim look on his face. I looked up, hopeful, but it died when I saw the look on his face.
"What's the news?" L asked.
"She was poisoned. We were able to administer the antidote, but she's still unconscious. She should be all right, Matt. You can stop looking like a kicked puppy."
I let out a deep breath and put my face in my hands. The doctor went back into the emergency room and came back out a few minutes later, carrying Saki. He put her in the bed that used to be Mello's. He'd gotten released while I was chasing after Saki, apparently. I sat next to her bed, holding her hand.
"Just squeeze back," I whispered, squeezing her hand, "Please, Saki! Just squeeze my hand."
I did that every time I went into the infirmary, just hoping she would open her eyes, or even just move. It was like looking at a stone figure. A few days after she was originally poisoned, a thin trail of blood escaped her lips. I tapped the doctor nearest to me.
"Excuse me, but," I gestured to Saki's mouth, "that can't be healthy."
The doctor left and returned with a syringe. I looked away as it was inserted into the crook of her arm and emptied. Saki winced slightly and I took her hand. Her eyelids fluttered open.
"Matt-kun? Are you there?" She said, putting her hands out in front of her face.
"I'm right here, Saki-chan." I said, turning her chin and kissing her.
She kissed me back and then L walked in. We broke apart and blushed. L looked at her cloudy eyes and put his head in his hands. Small tears flowed from his eyes and onto the floor. Bri walked in, saw L crying, turned around and walked right back out. The doctor returned with another syringe. Saki looked at it and buried her face in my shoulder. He(the doctor) went back and got some anesthetic. I held onto Saki's hand as she drifted off to sleep. He inserted the syringe into each of her eyelids, emptying it halfway for each. I cringed at the sight of him doing that. L put a hand on my shoulder.
"She will be fine, Matt. You just have to hope that she will."
The doctor left. Saki eyelids started twitching, but she didn't wake up. She trembled violently and I held her.
"Je t'aime, mon cher." I murmured into her hair.
Her eyes fluttered. The haze that once covered them was gone.
"Et je toi, mi amour." She muttered into my chest.
Saki's POV.
I cried. I cried when Light got hurt, I cried when my mom was murdered, I cried when my dad killed people, I cried when Mello broke up with me.
"I'm so fucking weak." I said.
"You're not weak."
"Yes I am."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am."
"Am not."
"Am too."
Matt leaned towards me and ghosted his lips across mine. Mello walked in, and punched me in the nose, causing it to start bleeding.
"What the hell was that for!"
"MATT WAS MINE FIRST!"
"You're like a child, you only want what you think is rightfully yours." Matt sneered. "When deep down, you know I belong to Saki."
"Fuck you, I have Near."
I pressed my hand to my nose.
"You suck."
"Kiss my ass."
Mello left.
"Now, where were we?"
Moi: Awwwwwwwwww how cute! And by the way, if anyone guesses who poisoned Saki, I give you a high-five. The answer may shock some people.
