Hollowing Wind

Mello was pulling Matt hasty. The three detectives were running at a lightning speed to the medical room, as if their lives depended on it. L had said something about Light's sister being in front of the building, but how could that happen? Was the detective keeping something from them? Maybe he was trying to cover up something?

L seemed to be out of himself. Fear was written all over his face and his fists were shaking slightly. It was something that neither one of the two boys had ever experienced before. The air was so thick, that you couldn't cut it with a knife, and it made running a quite impossible sport.

It felt like they were running for their lives.

As they arrived in the great hall, the detective managed to speed up quite bit more. The two trotting behind him just ran as fast as they could, but weren't able to keep up to the terrified detective.

He entered in a hurry and didn't care to leave to door open for the other. His expression was blank.

Watari was in the middle in the room with a women laying on the medical bed. Her skin was as pale as snow, and she reminded them of L, except that she was very underweight and looked extremely sick. The sight was petrifying if you knew how jolly she looked before. Even L was shocked about her condition. If Light saw this, which he would very soon according to the racket they were making, he would honestly have a heart attack.

Where was he?

"Have you found Yagami-kun?"

Matt shook his head in decline and focused his attention onto the weak figure shacking on the bed. He remembered her from before, but he wasn't sure if he had ever meet her in person. To his side, Mello seemed to fully remember the girl. His face palled out a few shades and he dug his nails into his leather jacket.

Very soon there would be a huge disaster, just in a couple of minutes.

Just as soon as that idiot arrived here...

Watari didn't look too happy about the entire situation and continued to view the monitors for and flaws in her system, and at the same time, if he could find her brother. It did seem odd that he couldn't be found anywhere, and he even looked down in the cellar. Strangely, it seemed that he had just vanished.

"Is she gonna make it?" Matt didn't know what to do. Something was going terribly wrong.

His gaze went straight back to the breathing corpse.

Sayu was dead thin, and looked like she would have turned to dust in a short amount of time if they hadn't found her. She looked sleepier than L ever had and if he didn't know any better, he'd think she had some incurable disease and was about to die from it.

"I'm looking for him again!" The blond tried to dash out again, but was held back by the detective.

"I'm going for Light, you help Watari."

"L-li....gh...t.....n.....o"

All three turned to the fragile girl on the bed. Her eye's were open and she was looking straight at L. It was clear that she couldn't talk at the moment, but they were making good progress.

"De....mo.....hel...p" The beating noise of the monitors grew faster and Watari rushed to her side to make her stop. He pulled an injection out and almost stabbed her arm furiously. A couple of seconds after he turned back to the detective, which was now running out the door.

The words could have a lot of meanings, but as far as L could think, he only heard what he didn't want to hear.

This couldn't be true.

It must have meant something else

Light wasn't gone.

L hadn't lost.

Everything was alright...

The detective clenched his fists and ran faster, because now, his life did depend on it.

It was already dark as the car stopped in the dark forest. The last bit of sunshine glowed in the far back, and after all those hours of driving, he could actually say that he was happy to get off. They had been driving for a long time, and he believed they were in the outskirts of Tokyo. The thought of dying soon didn't cross his mind often, but when it did, he could gladly say that he at least kept his promise. He had also achieved to find love, even though he was sure that it wouldn't last long as soon as they found out about his disappearance.

L hates loosing.

But this was an exception.

It was probably even a gain for most people.

Suddenly, a hand gripped his arm and he was jerked forwards. Something caught his foot and he stumbled down too the ground. His mind couldn't catch up with what was happening and he saw everything just fly by until his face met the ground. The grinding of stones filled his ears and he felt cold water on his face

Maybe he wasn't too happy about getting out of the car, at least not like this. His senses were still intact, so it must have been mere coincidence. He lifted his head and gazed up at B, who was standing next to him, arm stretched out as if he wanted to reach for something. His eyes were astonished, surprised, and if he may even say, excited.

He couldn't wait to kill him, could he?

The excitement vanished as fast as it had come.

"Are you ok?" He was acting, a person like him would never ask something like that if he was clearly in pain. It was just played kindness, so make him suffer even more later.

Light frowned.

He got up fast and brushed the dirt off of his clothes. "Let's get this over with..."

The teen looked at B one more time to see the grin on his face, but dismissed it briefly and walked past him. Of course he started following right away.

The other guy got out of the car and ran up to him.

"Hey, you ok?"

This time around, this guys eyes were full of honesty and fright, as if he had dropped something valuable.

Light smiled.

These two were a odd couple.

With that he began walking again. A quick " everything is alright." dismissed the Gothic-styled guy and they walked toward an old warehouse tat seemed to be there for at least a century. It was very small, which made the teen wonder what the maniac was planning this time. Was this really the place he had killed all the people before?

The blowing wind hollowed in the trees and they continued.

L was out of breath.

He had his back up against the wall and buried his head in his arms. The curled-up position looked pitiful, but had a dramatic gravity of its own. His panting chest rose and fell in a racing manner after his 30 minute sprint. He may be stronger than he looked, but even that was too much for him.

Too much for him...

This was all too much for him.

Light was missing.

Sayu was in the medical room and it looked like she was going to die soon.

The entire investigation was at an halt, and the only thing that connected them too it was the two facts above.

He screwed his eyes shut and listened to his still racing heartbeat.

What on earth was happening?

With that, everything went black.

Hollowing Wind

Holy gravity, being in a foreign land is harder than I'd thought. I have had too much going on to write it all, but one thing I want to say. We went to a LM.C concert yesterday here in Lyon, an HECK, it was awesome! I had a head ache, hadn't slept, was hungry, didn't find my panda hat, and had twisted my foot, but I still had a lot of fun! They are really great!

And I am sorry for the short chapter, but I have a lot of problems with the french keyboard, and with all-day school. I will try to keep up the work over here in the land of good food, but I first have to get used to the differenced between here and germany.

I'm sorry...'~'

Je parle un petit peu français! Je suis heureux!
