I finally updated! I've been quite busy finishing school and stuff and now have some free time! This chapter won't be the most exciting but it will become very exciting. Trust me. I still don't own DW or DN.
A Murderer and a Time Machine
Chapter 21: Saving Sayu
Sayu stared, gawking at the blue box in front of her. It was quite astonishing how it appeared in front of her in the living room. She'd never seen anything like it before and wondered exactly why it was there in the first place. Was this the help that Matsuda was talking about? The door opened a man's silhouette broke up the light in the doorway. He stepped forward, straightening his bow tie.
"You must be Mr Yagami's daughter." He extended a hand to her. "Hello, I'm the Doctor and I'm here to help." He proclaimed with a childish grin. On the floor, Sayu's mother was still weeping on her father's dead body. Sayu shakily shook his hand and stared down at her mother. The Doctor followed her eyesight to see the deceased man on the floor. "This is Mr Yagami then." He gulped. "I am going to do everything that I can to make sure that Kira will not do this to you. I promise to keep you and your mother safe."
Sayu's mother, Sachiko, wiped her eyes and propped herself up. "We should've stopped him from investigating this. He said it would be dangerous but if we tried harder to convince him, he might not be..." She trailed off, unable to utter the final word in the sentence.
The Doctor stood in complete silence which was uncommon for him. He didn't know what to say. He knew why Soichiro died. There was only one reason. However, could he tell Sayu and Sachiko this? Was the truth better than a lie this time? "You know what happened, don't you?" Sayu interrupted his thoughts.
He cleared his throat. "Do you want to know the truth even if it will break your heart and hurt you more than lies?"
"Yes, he's my dad and I want to know. I don't care if Kira tries to kill me. I need to know." Sayu pleaded.
The Doctor looked straight into her eyes, focused intently. "Kira infiltrated the house. He must've broke in to gather information on your father and your Dad must've come home. Kira would've killed him, especially if Mr Yagami knew who Kira was." He gritted his teeth. It wasn't all lies. Yes, Soichiro did know who Kira was and Kira killed him in his house but what he wouldn't say is that Light was Kira and he was already here when Mr Yagami came home. That was the only reason why Soichiro would've died.
"Are you telling the truth?" Sayu asked innocently.
"Yes." He replied bluntly.
"Now, can I ask you to go in my TARDIS here?" He ushered them inside the blue box, answering all their questions with lies if he needed to. After the shock that arose in the blue box, the Doctor set off back to HQ.
At HQ, Aizawa was arguing with L. "What do you mean that the chief is dead?"
L sighed. "I mean that Kira has killed the chief using his Death Note."
"B-but we took the Death Note and that should mean that Light couldn't kill anymore! How is he still killing?"
"He must have a scrap of the Death Note still with him. That means that he can still kill as Kira. I thought that I explained that." L explained confidently.
"How is Light able to kill his own father though? I thought that Kira was heartless but this is going too far. I can't believe that the chief would openly admit to his son that he knew that he was Kira." Aizawa protested.
"Yes, I understand what you mean. I thought that too but I believe that the chief allowed his emotions to get in the way and this made him vulnerable."
Aizawa sighed. "Then Light is Kira then." He admitted openly.
Standing at the door of the room, with mouth gaping open, was a girl. Her arms shook uncontrollably. "Light is Kira?" She muttered, almost inaudible. "My brother is Kira?" Sayu's eyes were wide open and directly behind her stood a shocked Sachiko with tears streaming down her face like rivers.
L stared at Sayu blankly. "Doctor, give us notice when the visitors come next time." He sighed. "You're creating more issues for us to deal with."
Sayu clenched her fists. "Issues!? Is that what we are? A problem?" She sprinted up to L, ready to hit him. Her arm swung forward with all the force from her sadness and anger.
He caught the hand that was to hit him. "I didn't want you to be sad. It is better for everyone if you didn't know because then you wouldn't be in danger. Kira is now more likely to kill you now that you know his identity. That is the reason why Mr Yagami is dead." He blankly answered. "I am Ryuzaki. You'll be staying here until we can bring Kira to justice. Watari, take them to the bedroom." L ordered, letting go of the girl's hand.
Tears streamed down her face, neverending. She followed the white haired man with her mother whose hand she held. She understood now why they lied even though she told the Doctor that she didn't care whether she lived or died. He knew what was best and now they were in a worse predicament. But at least they'd be safe in the hotel or as safe as they could be. Sayu gulped. Light knew their names and faces. He wasn't afraid to kill her father so what kept her safe? Maybe he thought that she didn't know. She hoped it would stay that way because death wasn't on her agenda.
