Mizu: Here's chapter 12! Awwww yeah!
Ameko: Your ships will all burn today!
Mizu: WOO! *A panel opens up*
Ameko: Shit no you activated it!
Mizu: You installed a secret panel and didn't tell me!?
Ameko: Yeah whatever!
Mizu: LET'S PRESS BUTTONS! *presses the big circle button*
Ameko: NOO! *the floor opens up under them*
Ameko/Mizu: AAAAAHHH!
Ameko: I hate you Mizu. Reviews.
ChrisYagami: It is! But don't worry, there will be many more deaths to come! YAAAY! Even in this chapter!
Queen-Of-Ice101: Awww i'm sorry! But it's only going to get worse I'm afraid... You might just wanna stay inside that corner because there's only gonna be more death!
Darcy101: OH CHUCK OH CHUCK OH CHUCK! *spoils*
nofreakingway: I was kinda trying to make it rushed, to give it that feeling that all this shit is happening NOW!
Nifawiwa: I like your new profile pic! OOOOHHHHHH IT'S GONNA GET SOOOOO MUCH WORSE! But you're right. After this chapter all the blame is focused mainly on Beyond, Amaya, L, And Mello. You're gonna see them learn to hate themselves later on..
AuroraStargazers: xD Don't worry, I have extra human souls in my cupboard over there c: ("WELL WHY DON'T YOU GO CHECK THE CRACKER CUPBOARD!?") lol. TRUST ME MY friEND YOU REALLY DO HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HASA IS GOING! My goal for what happens in this chapter is to show that nobody, not even the main characters are safe. WITH THAT HUMBLING THOUGHT-
Mizu: OOF! *crashes into a table*
Ameko: OWWW! *crashes as well* DAMMIT I HATE YOU!
?: YO DUDES! TWO CHICKS JUST CRASHED INTO THE TABLE!
?: Yes, I think I can see that...
?: Oh? Did my experiment work? Are you two here on behalf of Mother Russia?
Mizu: Oh don't tell me...
Ameko: Mizu I love you for pressing that button...
Mizu: Enjoy the chapter everyone!
I clipped open the first-aid kit that was stashed away in the bag of supplies that Mello took from the bunker before we ran out.
"Matt hold still…" He did as I asked, flinching when I rolled up his red and black shirt.
"Damn… My favorite shirt…" I rolled my eyes, examining the area the bullet scratched.
With a sigh I looked back into his bright green eyes, "You won't need stitches"
He visibly relaxed at the idea of not getting needles poked into his skin. "Yuki, you're the nurse here…"
She nodded, holding onto my hand so that way she didn't fall down in the shaking van.
"What? I thought you were" Mello asked, raising an eyebrow in questioning.
The albino shook her head, "Mizuki was always getting hurt during her time in the mafia. She'd come home with bruises and cuts and I always had to treat her"
I shrugged, "Did you know that dental floss is a good substitute for stitches?"
"Yes" "No" L and Mello said at the same time, looking at each other strangely.
L cocked his head, "You had no access to a hospital?" I shook my head, leaning against the metal wall of the van.
"Nope. If I went to a hospital they would have questions" Mello nodded, subconsciously rubbing a small of his neck where I could see a small poking of a scar, I guess he had to use floss too.
Yuki took in a deep breath, holding her small inventory carefully. "Alright… Here we go"
I took a small bottle of water first, making sure to use as little as possible.
"H-Hey… Yuki?" The redhead asked from above me.
I blinked my lipstick eyes up at him, "Yeah Matt?"
"Can… Can you tell me what you're doing?" Mello rolled his eyes from across the van's compact seats.
"You still haven't gotten over it. huh?" Matt looked down, embarrassed.
My eyebrows furrowed, "What is it?"
"He has this weird habit where he refuses to get help unless he knows exactly what you're doin' to him" The blonde replied.
I looked up at Matt reassuringly, "It's okay. I'll tell you. Right now I'm just going to pour some water over the cut so that way the wound is cleaned"
His erratic breathing visibly calmed once I spoke and I took it as a sign to go. My hand dipped and his forearm was drenched in the water. His teeth clenched, taking the pain well.
"Okay I need to disinfect it. I'll tell you now, this is gonna hurt like a bitch…" He gulped, his other hand clenching in fear.
"On the count of three…" He muttered, closing his eyes.
I ripped open the bag of towelletes and steadied Matt's arm. "One…"
I pressed the wipe onto his flesh wound.
Matt screamed, his voice raw from pain as he glared at me, "…The hell!?"
"Three" I shrugged.
After swiping down with the wipe I bandaged it up, being careful to set down a layer of cotton before wrapping it.
"You are a very good doctor, Yuki" Near stated, leaning closer to inspect my work.
I cursed the blush that rose up on my cheeks, "Yeah well… I did want to go to Medical School once upon a time…"
His slate eyes widened, "Truly?"
"Yeah, but fate didn't really like that so I ended up here" Matt gently ran his fingers over the material.
"Thanks Yuki… I owe you one" Matt grinned, wiping back the bead of sweat that traveled down his temple.
"Yes! What a brilliant job indeed!" A voice boomed, seemingly from inside my head.
"The hell!?" Amaya swerved, almost knocking me over.
"Do not worry my friends! I'm not anywhere. I'm just chatting from inside your minds!" It chirped.
Then the memory of this voice hit me and I jumped up like a spring, "Zeeron?!"
"The one and only my adorable little Yuki!"
Mizuki's eyes fueled with a bright purple flame, cursing the invisible ruler, "Why did you send us back you asshat!?"
"Now, now, is that any way to talk to a King?" If he were here right now I would spit in his face.
If he were here right now I would spit in his face, "You said that once we finished the story we could choose to stay in that world!"
The ruler clicked his tongue, "I don't believe I ever said that. In fact I specifically remember telling you that if you defeated Light Yagami I would decide what happened from there?"
"You're lying…" L growled quietly.
"No, I've never lied, my friends! I've merely avoided certain truths to deceive you"
"What do you want!?"
The king 'hmm'ed, "The question isn't what I want. It's what you want"
From our silence he continued, "You want to be sent home, to your Death Note world, and I want to experience this incredible story! I take joy in watching your suffering, your developments, and your progress! I've cheered when you rescued L and I've wept when Amaya believed that Matt had died. I've even been shocked at discovering Beyond Birthday's dark little secret! And I'm even stunned at the lies Yuki has been keeping!"
"What do you mean?" Near asked quietly.
Fear rose in my gut when the king started talking, "Oh you know, the fact that she doesn't have the Shinigami Eyes anymore? Or that she can't ever look into another person's head?"
All eyes were on me as I backed myself into the corner. "I-I…"
"Right! Maybe I wasn't supposed to say that… Oh well!"
"Just shut up you stupid puppet! Why are you talking to us!?" Amaya screeched, unfazed by the reveal that I had been hiding my new disabilities.
I could picture the king shrugging casually, "I'm here to tell you how to get home"
A hush fell over the residents in the van, "You want that don't you?"
"Yes!" Mello called immediately.
"Well then shut up and listen my cuties... Because I'm not going to say this twice" He drew in a deep, strangled breath, "When I sent you boys into the girls' universe it really winded me. I can bring someone back from the dead no problem, but dimension crossing? It drains when I sent two groups into the universe in the same day! So I can't just snap my fingers and send you home"
Amaya's blue eyes were hardened with fury, "Then how are we going to get home!?"
"I SAID QUIET!" He snapped, the shout echoing in my head. "Oh wow… I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap like that but didn't I say to shut up!?"
"That's better. As I was saying, There's only one place left on this earth that you can travel from. A place where I've taken you before. Kiyonashi Shima. Also known as Aster Island…" I gasped slightly at the name.
"Oh yes! The very same! But there's one thing I have to do first…" A snap of fingers echoed inside my head.
In the corner of the van, still crumpled and clenching her body mournfully, was Hasa. And with a snap of his fingers she was gone.
"Hasa!" Mizuki cried, running over to the spot where she was. "What did you do!?"
"I killed her. It's easy enough. You humans are so fragile"
"YOU BASTARD!" The dark haired girl vowed, smashing her fist against the wall.
He 'tsk'ed, "Come now! Despite what you may believe, there is a better place after death and I've given her and her father the VIP lounge. She's even reunited with her mother too! Come on, that's much better than what you all had planned for her"
Even though Mizuki wanted to be angry, fire a bullet right into the king's stitched, bony head, she knew he was right.
"Her paradise, or 'Heaven' as you would call it, is her whole family reunited with her skipping gleefully through the lines at Comic Con. For some reason she enjoys those ques…"
A single tear trickled down my sister's pale features, "Aww… Don't cry Mizuki! You're my favorite! I hate seeing my characters cry!"
But she didn't give him the satisfaction of a reply, she just stood there in the corner, mourning her friend. "I got an idea! Why don't I bring back someone instead! It's as simple as killing! And It will make everything so much more… interesting!"
"What are you talking about….?" Near asked calmly, the prospect of Hasa's death unable to faze him.
"I'm not saying… By the way Amaya, you might want to swerve left"
"…What?" But the voice was gone, Zeeron's words halted and our minds went quiet once again.
But just then, lo and behold, a body suddenly appeared in the center of the street, illuminated by the headlights.
"SHIT!" Amaya cried and jerked the steering wheel to the left, diving the van into a ditch. We all instantly dove out of the car and sprinted up the grass to see who it was Zeeron 'brought back'.
In the dim light of the moon we distinguished the body from the grey asphalt. We crowded around the body and all stared at it, confused.
"Who is he?" Mizuki muttered, looking up at the group.
"N-No…" Beyond stuttered, clenching the boy's worn gray shirt. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.
"Beyond?"
But for the first time ever I saw Beyond's exterior crumble, sinking down to the ground and wrapping the body into a tight embrace as if he were shielding him away from hungry vultures.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" He screamed, his voice muffled by the shirt.
Realization dawned on all the Wammy Boys' faces as they all realized who this must be, leaving those from the other reality in the dark.
"Who is it?" I asked meekly.
"I never should have done it! You should never have asked me…"
"…A!"
-End of Chapter 12-
Mizu: Hasa may or may not be returning later on but for now she was killed because I was sloppy and had NO IDEA how to handle her prescence. Aside from Matt's love interest she has no real need to be here and my cast is already too bloated :(
Ameko: So yeah, for now she has been marked as deceased. Sorry.
?: Who are you talking to?
Mizu: NOBODY. NOW REVIEW! MWAHAHAHA!
