Chapter twenty:
L and Light are leading a group of police cars that have their lights on though it is Watari who is driving.
The other two are sitting the back seats.
L looks outside with worry that they won't make it in time.
Light puts a comforting hand on L's shoulder getting him to turn bac to Light with a thumb resting on his bottom lip.
"We're almost there I'm sure." Light says trying to assure L.
L glances away. "I just have a bad feeling." He sighs softly.
Light pulls L into a hug. "Don't give up hope."
"I'm not." L responds.
"Well then just remember that there hasn't been any new bodies yet. There is the chance that there are survivors." Light says with a soft gentle smile.
"I know. It's just the orphanage is where I went to." L sighs. "The kids look up to me."
"And you are rushing to save them." Light points out.
L nods and leans against Light finding it kind of comforting.
Watari can only smile as he catches a glimpse of it through his mirror at a second long glance to it. He goes back to concentrating on the road.
Light's P.O.V.
I love you L.
My mind forms the words that haven't slipped past my lips right now.
Though right now isn't the right time for such things.
I stroke L's soft hair as he stays in my arms.
It makes me happy to have him in my arms to tell the truth.
He's so warm and so real.
I will tell him how I feel just not yet.
There's nothing I would not do for him.
Nothing.
I mean it.
He is my world, my life and my everything.
I would even give up being Kira for him and just to be with him.
Perhaps I should the first chance I get.
If I am Kira then I can't be with this lovely male I love so much.
Good and evil cannot be together.
Then it's settled.
I'll give up being Kira the first chance I get.
"We're here." Watari says as if brining us back into reality.
No one's P.O.V.
Rai and Silver keep running and they turn a corner only to freeze.
There laying on the ground is Mello and Near with four people, including Rodger, surrounding them.
Rodger's pistol is aimed at Mello.
Neither Mello or Near seem to be moving.
Rai's eyes widen. "NO!" She fires at the two closest to them which is on the opposite side that Rodger is on.
Silver lowers his head letting shadows cast from his bangs send his eyes into darkness making them turn red as he looks pissed off. He charges and dashes to the side in time to avoid Rodger's bullet sent at him. He jumps into the air slashing at the man next to Rodger making the man scream. He slashes at him until the man falls back with lifeless eyes. He turns to Rodger with his eyes still under darkness keeping them a red color.
Rodger's heart rate picks up speed at the sight.
Silver begins to advance at Rodger and Rai drops her gun rushing over to Near and Mello's bodies.
Rai checks for pulses on either only for her face to fall in horror.
Silver slashes at Rodgers hand knocking the gun away as Rodger lets out a surprised yell of pain.
Rodger's eyes widen as he cradles his injured hand and he realizes that now without his gun that has rolled too far away for a quick grab he is defenceless. He looks to Silver feeling terror run through his body.
Silver backs Rodger up towards a wall.
Rodger blinks as he notices a gem that looks like Near's except with an S instead of an N. "So it runs in the family?"
"Yeah." Silver says with venom in his voice. "We call them a family heirloom since everyone in our family gets one." He says as he continues to back Rodger up towards the wall.
Rodgers back hits the wall and he begins to panic breathing heavily.
Silver continues to advance and presses the outward curve of his double sided blade scythe against Rodger's throat. "And now it's time to pay for what you have done." He presses the outward bend blade harder against Rodger's throat.
The scythe starts to cut into his throat as seen by the drop of blood that slides down Rodger's neck.
Rai's sobs makes Silver's eyes flicker over to her as he pauses giving her a gentle look with his currently red eyes.
Rodger fears that if he moves then he is as good as dead. He starts to pray for someone to help him, to save him.
…..
L and Light look out the window at the building as Watari pulls up.
There are cars and about two motorcycles as well as some orphans hanging around the front area.
L takes the lead as they leave the car.
Light follows L into the building as they both know that the kids outside the building will be safe.
The two begin to explore together as some police members also start searching the building.
L opens a door and they find themselves in the place where the orphans were kept. "So this is where they were kept."
"Seems they've escaped." Light says.
"As we saw some outside." L agrees closing the door. "I believe that those vehicles we saw outside are another group that also came to help. I am twenty percent sure."
"Let's keep going." Light says.
L nods and the two continue on with their search.
…..
Silver turns back to Rodger with venom even in his glare. "You scum." He hisses with pure venom. "You will pay for what you did. You killed my brother! That's why he didn't respond to me! You filthy scum!"
"You have no proof. I can convince the courts that you attacked me while I was trying to help." Rodger says with a small smirk as his mind works to try to get himself out of this. "They'll believe me over you especially with what you are doing right now."
Silver snarls.
"There is enough evidence in this building to convict you for what it is you have done."
