Sorta sad chapter here...

Safe and Sound

~ Yami's POV~

L didn't finish his sentence. We had all just watched Watari delete all the files, and I think we all knew what that meant. Watari was now dead, and L was next. The raven haired detective started to tip from his chair and fall to the floor. Light caught him and held him up. "NO!" I screeched as I rushed to L's side. "No! Please don't... no no no," I said as a tear slid from my eye.

His midnight orbs were wide as he stared up at Light and I. "Yami..." he said with a final breath before his eyes started sliding shut. I started to shake as if I was having a nervous breakdown. Light's father told Matsuda to help me go to Watari's room. If I known I could have spoken, I would have demanded to stay or be taken to our room. But I was at a loss for words at the sight of my lover dying in front of me.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Matsuda sat me down on Watari's bed. "Rose... I am so sorry..." he tried to apologize. "Get out," I said into my hands. "Please. Go away." The man looked at me before he cocked his head. "There is something right here," he picked up a key that was tied to a note. He read:

To anyone who finds this,

Give her my love and a sweet kiss for her head. Cause I won't be coming back to her, when you get this I'll be dead. If that is true, give my Rose dear the key and tell her to unlock the empty desk drawer.

Ryuzaki

I looked up at him, then quickly took the key and went into our room and over to the desk. I stuck the golden key into the hole. The drawer unlocked and I pulled it out. My white rose necklace was wrapped around another note. I read it over in my head:

My dear Rose,

If you are reading this, I am dead. I'm sorry I left you, and I hope you can forgive me. No, I would never take my own life, Kira got me. Light Yagami, got me... Your heart is probably filled with sorrow, but it will heal. Yami my dear Rose, I will always love you.

L Lawliet, your Panda

Tears streamed from my eyes as I finished the note. This must be what he was doing when he said he was up to nothing and for me to just stay. L knew he was going to die today... and he didn't do anything to try and stop it. Without saying anything, I packed my stuff and called Matt to come and get me. The team had placed L's body on the couch and covered it with a white sheet, but they were no where to be seen. I removed the sheet from his face and kissed his cold lips.

"Goodbye my love. We will see each other again, no matter what. I am no longer Yami Hikuro, am taking your last name." I slipped the sheet back over his face and left. Yami Hikuro was no more, I was now Yami Lawliet.

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Time Skip to April 16th...

I held my baby close to me. Kodi Lawliet was one month old yesterday. His birthday was March 15th, 2009. Matt came up behind me, a cigarette hanging from his mouth. I glared up at him, "Put it out." The brunette rolled his eyes and put the cancer stick out in the ash tray. Matt couched a little and patted my head, "You just have to be a stick in the mud."

Kodi let out a squeal and opened his eyes. Matt smiled as he leaned down to look at them. "He has one green one and one grey one. This little thing will be a handful, huh?" I nodded, "Yea. He already takes after his father in more than one way..."

Matt put a hand on my shoulder, "Don't cry on me. You have to be strong, ok?" Nodding my head, I stood up and went into the kitchen to get Kodi's bottle. We had moved back to England before Kodi was born, just so I could get away from Japan for a while. I don't see how that could have helped because L had lived in England for most of his youth. But we didn't have memories here, which was a good thing.

I picked up the clear baby bottle that was half-way filled with strawberry milk, the only milk that Kodi would drink. His pale little hands wrapped around it as I put it near his mouth. His hair was dark, like L's. He had small little shadows under his eyes, like L. And he had one midnight orb, like L. His pale skin came from both of us, and his single green eye came from me. And he always seemed to be looking above our heads, as if he saw something.

He sucked on it for a while until he fell asleep. Then, I put Kodi on the middle of the bed. We didn't have a crib because Matt and Mello were too fucking lazy to go get one. I went and sat back down on the couch beside Matt, who was now playing a Mario racing game and smoking his cigarette he put out earlier. "No smoking around Kodi," I told him as I snatched the white stick from his mouth.

"But he is in the other room!" the brunette remarked as he paused his game. He was giving me a death glare through his orange tinted goggles.

Time Skip to when Kodi is five...

I looked through the door and saw Kodi asleep on the bed. He turned five a few days ago, and he was a brilliant child. His hair was becoming thicker and more tousled, and his features where becoming more and more like L's everyday. And his eyes were both becoming a russet color. Matt and Mello went back to Japan to try and help someone named Near on the Death Note and Kira case. They had been gone for about three months now, and I was getting worried. I closed the door and sat on the couch, turning the TV on and to the news.

My heart stopped when I saw Matt's red Chevelle shot up with bullet holes everywhere. Matt... was dead now too. He had been part of a kidnapping. "Damn you Mello... I hope you're feeling like shit now..." I trailed as he started to cry.

Cutting the TV off, I went into the bathroom and shut the door. I heard a click as I locked it and looked around. When I found what I was looking for, I began to sob uncontrollably.

~ 3rd Person POV ~

Kodi woke up the next morning and looked around for his mom. Not seeing her, he slipped off the bed and went into the living room. He looked at the bathroom door and saw that it was shut. The five year old went over and stepped in something wet. He looked down at his bloody foot and saw that blood had pooled from under the bathroom door. "Mommy?" Kodi called. "I will get help."

He went over to the phone and pressed the 9-1-1 numbers that his mom had taught him to. "Hello?" asked a woman on the other end. "911, what's your emergency?" "My mommy is locked in the bathroom and she is bleeding," Kodi replied calmly. "Ok sweetie. I will send someone over right away."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Kodi opened it. His thumb was on his bottom lip as he looked up at two police officers. "Mommy wont come out the bathroom," he said as he pointed to the door. One of the cops went over and turned the door knob, but it wouldn't open considering it was locked.

They finally got the door opened by breaking the handle. Kodi peeked in and saw his mother's arm hanging from the bath tub, blood dripping from her wrist. On the wall, "Send him to Wammy House" was written in blood. In his mother's hand was a white rose necklace that was painted red with blood.

A tear fell from Kodi's russet eye as he looked at his dead mother.

THE END

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

A/N: The End. This is the last chapter. The alternate ending will just be Yami's last thoughts. I hope you enjoyed this story, and I will write one on Kodi Lawliet, so this is not the last of me.
