A/N: Hello again, you guys are almost at the end of the story, I know your all sad now. Just enjoy this chapter and remember it. Also recommend it to other people so they can read it too. Enjoy! And good-bye! T_T Chapter 10:
"I'm glad you took that well, I didn't want to hurt your feeling again," she told him. "So is this the last time I'm going to see you? How long are you going to stay in Japan?" he asked her. "We'll be there for awhile, so this might be the last time I see you there in years." Beyond looked down at his lap. "Oh," he murmured.
"I'll keep in contact with you! You don't have to be sad! I'll call you and everything!" she said. Beyond only nodded and looked down. Though he was softly smiling, she could tell he was sad. He didn't want her to go away so soon.
He felt like he was just getting to know her again, and now she's leaving for good. Naomi didn't know how to respond to him without hurting him more. "I brought you something," she said as she reached into her purse. Naomi pulled out some jam and handed it to him. Beyond silently ate it as he stared out the window. "Raye allowed me to spend the rest of the day with you. He knew I'd be mad if I didn't get to see you again."
Beyond silently at it and didn't say a word at all. When he finished the jar, Naomi threw it away. "There has to be something you want to do before I go, right Beyond?" she asked him. He was still silent. Was he really that hurt? she thought. Naomi suddenly remembered she'd brought a camera.
"We have to take some pictures together before we go. I'll keep one and you keep one. Is that OK?" she asked him. Beyond nodded as Naomi took the camera out. She got beside Beyond and took some silly pictures with him, that would make him laugh in the future. After taking about five pictures, they then took a casual picture.
They were both smiling and it looked really peaceful. "I'll get them developed right away and send you some," she said. "OK." Naomi looked at him sort of angry.
"What's your deal?" she asked him. Beyond looked up. "Don't be all depressed, Beyond!" she said, kissing him on the cheek. Even that didn't light him up. He snickered something and she smiled seductively. "Oh, you want more than a kiss on the cheek don't you?" she asked him.
Naomi turned his head and kissed him on the lips for a long time. Just a soft tender one, not a romantic one. When she finished he still looked sad. She pouted. Beyond then whimpered, causing Naomi to look up at him. "I'm going to miss you," he said. "I'm going to miss you too."
"Will you remember me?" he asked her. "Of coarse I will.
"I don't want you to go though." Naomi was silent. They heard the beeping from the monitor. "I don't want to go either. I'd be more than happy to stay here with you," she whispered. "Naomi?" he asked her. She glanced at him and he smiled. "I love you."
She looked at him in shock. She then looked at her lap. "I love you too." A few tears went down her cheeks as he laughed a little. "I won't forget," she whimpered.
...
Naomi had left the next day, and Beyond found himself confused for once. Not knowing what to do since she was gone. He already missed her. He hated Raye. For taking her away from him. The crow came more and more often now. It was his only friend now, next to Pete.
She'd kept her promise in contacting him though. She called and ask him how he was doing, then she'd tell him what she was doing. Naomi would say how much she missed him and then they do the same thing the next day. A month had passed and they did that every day.
He even had that pictured she'd developed for him. Beyond would look at it and smile to himself often times when he saw it. He missed her lips, her soft skin, her eyes. He longed to see it again. But by longing it, he'd be even more happy to see her when she came back to visit. He didn't know how long she'd be gone.
"So that girl stopped coming?" Pete asked her. "Yeah, she moved, but I still talk to her," he said. "Is she really that important to you?" When Beyond nodded, Pete looked away. "Your lucky, to have a girl. She actually cares about you too." Beyond sighed. "I miss her already," he said. "I'm sure you do." Beyond laughed and stared out the window.
One year later...
Beyond walked outside and saw it's dead body. The crow. It was laying there stiff from death, it's wings spread out. He'd been walking around the back of the jail and saw it. He knew it was the crow because it's eyes were red. Beyond could admit he was a little sad to know that it'd died, crow or not.
He picked it up and held it in his hands as he stared at it with sadness, like a little boy and a dead dog. Pete saw it and sighed. "Isn't that the bird that came here like, every day?" he asked him. Beyond nodded as he stared at it. "That sucks, I was really getting used to it," he said.
For the birds sake, he dug a small hole in the dirt and buried it. He even gave it a little prayer, for it had gave him comfort in jail. He felt like half of him had been taken. first Naomi, now the crow. He was gloomy for most of the day. He stared out the window, knowing it wouldn't come back now.
It only made him sadder seeing as it had died. Now when he stared out the window he didn't have hope of it coming to glare at him. The crow had reminded him of himself.
Most prisoners had been worrying about this killer called "Kira", wiping up criminals one by one. Beyond didn't care about "Kira" though, he had his own problems.
"I'm so nervous," Pete said. "What for?" Pete glared at Beyond. "About Kira, what if we're next?" he asked him. "Well I doubt that." Pete rambled on but Beyond just closed his eyes. He was excited to hear he had a phone call. "Hello Beyond," she said. "Hi Misora."
"I see your alright. Did you get the letter I sent you yet?" she asked him. "Yeah, thanks by the way." Naomi giggled. "Raye actually agreed to let me come down and visit you for a bit," Naomi said. "Really?" Beyond was excited, though he didn't express it in his voice. He kept it in the low tone he always spoke in, the tone she was so used to. "Yeah, I can't wait to see you again," she said. "I should be down there in a week."
"Cool," was all he could say. "Oh, and Beyond, before I go can I say something?"
"What is it?" It was silent, he almost thought she'd hung up. "I can't wait to see you. I miss you," she said. "Bye, Misora." If only he'd known.
Beyond walked back to the cafeteria and took a seat. "So what did she say?" Pete asked. "She's coming to visit next week," he said. "Well that sounds exciting." Beyond nodded and stared out the window. "Pete," Beyond said. "Thanks." Pete didn't know what he meant by that until it was too late.
Beyond continued to look out the window. He felt so alive, so happy, so filled with joy. He felt no regrets, no sorrow, nothing could make him feel down. He'd full-filled his life. Until it hit him. A sharp pain in his heart, his eyes widening. He couldn't breathe and everything was rushing through his head. He grabbed onto his chest and coughed a little. Pete didn't know what was going on as Beyond fell out of his seat and onto the floor. "Beyond!"
His life was flashing before his eyes. From the beginning, at Wammy's Orphanage, to A. To when he was a murderer, to L. Then to Naomi, and the jail. To Pete and all the others. That death he'd wished for long ago had finally struck, but he didn't want to die. For once he felt like living, at least long enough to see Naomi. Just this once.
He stared up at the face of Pete who was looking at him startled. Faces flashed in his face. The last face that came to mind though was Naomi's. She was smiling brightly at him and giggling. He even remembered the last words she'd said to him. "I miss you," she said. And he had said, "Bye, Misora." The perfect parting words for his beloved. For the woman who had changed his life. Misora Massacre, the woman, the only woman, he'd ever fallen in love with.
Beyond saw that gleaming light and thought, maybe God has forgiven me and I am going to that better place. A tear rolled down his cheek. I wanted to see her one more time before I left though, he thought as his eyes slowly closed, his heart not beating any more. Every word from the prisoners sounded like it was being taken under water, his vision blurring, the air escaping. Goodbye, Naomi.
...
Naomi had taken a plane down and arrived at the prison. She'd asked the warden to tell Beyond that she'd come to visit. The warden looked at her seriously. "I would have thought you had heard but..." Naomi didn't know what he meant by that. "What do you mean?"
"Beyond died, just a week ago caused by a heart attacked. We believed it was Kira's doing. I'm sorry ma'am." Naomi stood there dumbfounded. "Dead?" she stammered. He'd died before she got to see him one last time. She couldn't help but cry as she stood there. "Dead..." she whimpered once more.
She flown down there to see him, she was so excited to see him again. And when she got there she was completely unaware that he had died. Naomi got in her car and screamed as she cried to herself. "Why did you have to die?" she asked herself. More tears went down onto her lap. She continued to cry ever so. She already wanted him back.
Naomi had found his grave and stood there as she set some crimson flowers on the grave. It was the color of strawberry jam, of blood. She knew it was the perfect color of flowers to set down on his grave. She wanted to hug him, to hold him, to kiss him. She wanted to hear his voice once more in her ears. She'd taken his love for granted, and now she couldn't have it any more. Before she realised it, she'd started crying again. She remembered how he used to call her Misora Massacre, how he'd gave her his farewells before he died.
"These pass few months I was so happy," she said, hoping his soul would hear it. "But now I'm alone. Beyond where ever you are, I miss you." The sun was setting and it was dark out, but she still stood there. Staring at his grave with pity. She now had no expression on her face. "I guess this is farewell then, Beyond Birthday. The greatest criminal... my one and true friend~"
He stared at her through the moon light. He was sad, that she was sad. He missed her to, but he couldn't talk to her now. He's just happy she loves him after all, as he went on into the after life.
Those who have died are just as sad as those they left behind
That was quite the story, I hope you enjoyed it. It's sad about the fact he did die of a heart attack caused by Kira. A sorry death. He could of died more unhumilliating, like something he deserved other than a heart attack. It just makes you more sad about how he died. That just sucks. That was a sad story though. I hope you enjoyed it. Happy Trails!
