DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DEATH NOTE.
*Chapter 10*
Onyx POV
I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier as sleep was hovering over me. I haven't eaten anything sweet in 8 hours, and that was bad for me. If I didn't have sweets, I started acting crazy and after that, I become one of the walking dead.
I stretched and shifted in the plane seat. I was flying for England right now, but I had to go with a normal plane, because the private jet was away for a check up. I sighed as I tried to sit more comfortably, and failed.
On my right, there was a couple that were making out every few minutes and they were noisy. I had the urge to sit between them, but stopped myself.
I sighed, looking out the window. I liked the view. It was so peaceful and so... endless. The sky, the sea... everything.
I rubbed my eyes and decided that now was the time to eat that lollipop hidden in my boot. I took it out, unwrapped it and rolled it around with my tongue. It was a lemon and mango... huh, well, that was new. And it was good.
As I stared out of the window, worry filled me once again. I was getting closer now. I was happy, ecstatic even, that I was going to see Matt and Mello, but what about her? This next week, I promised myself, I would do my best to avoid her. Even though it hurt me, I would do it. For her.
I sighed. Why did I have to be immune to the Death Note? It would have been much more easier if I have died. No pain, only numbness.
'Pfff, yeah, right, you don't like it easy. You always do things the hard way!' A voice echoed in my head. Her voice.
'Yes, because it's more fun like that.' I have answered that one time.
I smiled at the memory, Shion always thought of me as some kind of super genius that knew everything and could do everything. She was looking at me with these brown eyes... the brown eyes I loved so much. She was my sister, and I betrayed her. After I have sworn I would protect her, I wouldn't let anything happen to her... I have failed her... and myself.
And I hated myself for that. I could have gone back to her after what happened, but I was afraid. Afraid that she would hate me or see me as some freak and be... disgusted by me. I killed my own parents after all. Even under the control of the notebook.
Then another question came into my mind.
Why would somebody... anybody do that? As the lollipop cracked into two in my mouth, I realized I have clenched my jaw tight. I let go and started eating the lollipop, that was now a candy.
Staring out the window, I let sleep fall over me.
"On!" I heard Matt's voice as I entered the airport and the next second I was egulfed in a bear hug. I chuckled and hugged him back.
"Hey, Matty." I said softly and yawned. Then I saw Mello and went to hug him too.
"How's it going, Melon?" The nickname has stayed, mainly to annoy him. He rolled his eyes, but smiled nonetheless and returned the hug.
"As always." He answered and the three of us went out of the crowded airport.
"So, are we with a car or..." I trailed off and the two boys shrugged.
"Walking. We came here to meet you because noone else would." Matt answered as we walked.
We entered a park. I loved parks. Before all of this happened, I used to come to the parks and read books or just stare at the trees and at the sky. Or even draw. It was nice.
I sighed.
"Anyways, has anything interesting happened while I was away?" I asked and Mello smirked.
"Well, everyone is talking about you. Not so many interesting things happen..." Matt started, but was cut off by Mello.
"I blew up the kitchen." He stated proudly and I looked at him wide eyed. He grinned." We had cookery lessons, and I was bored." He explained and I chuckled, shaking my head.
"Of course you would do that, Mells." I muttered.
"Then Roger raged and threw Mello out, so he went to his room, took two packs of toilet paper, and then all of the trees were white with a triumphant Mello standing between them. He got detention but it was worth it." Matt said through laugher.
"You guys are something, you know. " I laughed along with them. And then the thing I dreaded most happened.
"Zin? Zin!" I heard a female voice yell and I froze. Then I was pulled into a bone crushing hug.
That smell. That voice. The body.
That could be noone else, but Shion.
Great, I have failed with the first step I took here.
I stood like a statue there as she let go of me.
"Where have you been? You suddenly disappeared and I was so worried! I cried every night, because I thought something has happened to you... hey, Zin?" She stopped talking as she looked in my eyes.
I looked to the ground.
"I'm not Zinnia anymore." I said quietly." I'm Onyx now."
Her eyes widened in shock as her hands gripped my shouders tighter.
"What do you mean...?" She asked me confused. I shook my head and stepped out of her reach.
"Do you... do you hate me?" I asked her and she tilted her head to the side, frowning.
"What?... of course not! Why would you think that?" She exclaimed. "Where were you anyways?"
I sighed.
"I... I will be here for only a week..." I mumbled and she shrugged.
"So what?" She asked and I sighed.
"I... I will explain later... just let me leave my luggage at the orphanage and-..."
"Orphanage?!"she exclaimed and my eyes widened.
"I will explain later." I said and ran off.
As we walked towards Wammy's, I cursed under my breath. I felt an arm on my shoulder.
"Ummm... On? Is... something wrong?" Matt asked me. I froze in my tracks.
"This shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have met her again. Now I will just end up hurting her again!" I clenched my fist and sqeezed my eyes. I felt another hand on my other shoulder.
"Hey... we're here for you." Matt told me and Mello nodded. I turned my head to look at them behind me. A small smile creeped on my face and I nodded.
"Let's do this." I sighed.
"Onyx, you can do this, right? Do you want us to come with you?" Matt asked me and I shook my head.
"I will do this alone." I said and left to the park.
"So... now I have to call you Onyx, huh?" Shi asked me and I nodded as we sat on a bench. I crossed my legs and started playing with the chain around my neck.
"Listen, you... you are my best friend. I am going to tell you everything, but first I want to apologize that I left like that. But... I was ashamed. Of what happened to me. So I started living on the streets and..." I trailed off when I felt her confuzed gaze on me.
"What happened to you? That you were ashamed even of me?" She asked and I sighed.
"Please don't hate me... I-I killed my parents." I said quetly and lifted my gaze to meet hers. She was frozen, her eyes wide and her face pale.
"You did... what?" She said finally. I shook my head.
"You heard me." I answered and she jumped off the bench taking steps away from me.
"Why... how could you?!" She exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hand.
"You know about Kira, no?" I asked.
"Umm.. yes, but don't change the topic!" She yelled, now angry. I squeezed my eyes shut to prevent the tears from spilling out.
"I'm not. Kira can control his victims before their death. For killing he uses a notebook, called Death Note. I was under the control of the Death Note. That's why I did it." I finished, realizing I have clenched my fists and bowed my head. I opened my eyes and looked at Shion, whose eyes even wider, full of shock and fear. I blinked and let the tears spill, unclenching my fists.
"I don't really remember what happened then. It was all a blur. What I remember, though, is afterwards. I remember seeing the bloody knife in my hand and the bodies of my parents, lying in pools of blood. I remember dropping the knife and running away, to the streets, under the rain." I wiped my eyes from the tears and felt a hand on my own. I looked up in Shi's eyes.
"I-I'm sorry... " she said quietly and I looked down. Then she did the thing I expected the less.
She hugged me.
She sat next to me and hugged me. I wiped my eyes again, sobbing.
"You would ask why would Kira do that..." I sobbed."The fact is, it wasn't Kira. He only kills criminals. It was someone else who had a Death Note." I said and felt her hand caressing my hair.
"But.. h-how are you sure you were under the control of a Death Note?..."she asked. I pulled away and wiped my eyes once again. The tears have stopped.
"Three days after... after what I did... a man came to me. I was curled up in a ball in an alley. I was cold. The man approached me and gave me a phone. The phone had a message in it. The message was a male voice, he explained everything to me. he said that he has written my name in his notebook and made me do what I did. I listened to him quietly." I started playing with my chain again, looking in space.
"W-why would he do that?" Shion asked me."And shouldn't you be dead now...?"
I smiled bitterly.
"At first, the man was smiling, I could hear it in his voice. But as he told me the story, he got angrier and angrier. He was shouting in the end. 'Why aren't you dead?!' He was asking. I didn't utter a word. 'You should be dead! All those times I tried to kill you, you survived, you shouldn't have survived the Death Note! How did you do it, you little witch?!' He was shouting at me. I just answered in monotone that I didn't know. Then he hung up and the man that was holding the phone closed it and left." I told her. It hurt me so much to remember this, but it also made me want to give that man a lesson. He doesn't mess with me.
"So... so all these times you were attacked when we were together..." Shion trailed off in thought and I nodded.
"It was him. Whoever he is." I answered.
"Then what happened?"Shi asked and I smiled a small smile.
"A few weeks later, a kind old man found me. It was Mr Watari. He took me to the orphanage Wammy's and there I met the two boys you saw me with. The redhead is Matt, he loves video games and he smokes. The blonde is Mello, he is crazy about chocolate and leather clothes." I smiled." They are really nice. Though Mello is a little bit brutal."
She chuckled and I looked at her.
"Come with me to the orphanage to meet them. Oh, and there's Near. He's an albino and is really silent, but he always builds things out of whatever he finds or plays with toys." I said." I didn't really get a chance to meet him, but Matt and Mello told me about him."
"He sounds adorable. All of them. I wanna meet them!" She exclaimed and we stood up. Then she hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her.
"I missed you."she mumbled in my hair and I laughed.
"I missed you too. I'm sorry I left like that." I told her and buried my face in her hair."But I will have to leave again. I'm only for a week." I finished bitterly. She pulled away and looked me in the eyes.
"Why?" She sounded sad and I sighed.
"Well, see, you know who L is, right?" I asked her. She nodded."I'm working with him on the Kira case." I smiled at her and her jaw hit the ground.
"Are you telling me... you know how he looks?!"she squealed. She was always a sucker for juicy things. I chuckled as we walked towards the orphanage.
"Mhm."I said, smiling.
I was happy. So, so happy.
I had my best friend, my sister, back.
