Kay ran as fast as she could, wanting to put as much distance as she could between herself and Light. At first, she intended to run to Matsuda's apartment, but decided against it at the last second. Instead, she veered course and navigated her way through the suburbs, finding herself in front of Aizawa's house. Running her hand through her hair as she caught her breath, she debated over whether to actually ring the doorbell.
Why was she at Aizawa's? They've hardly spoken...ever! Why was she getting him involved in this? Her muscles betrayed her, lurching forward and knocking on the door. There were voices on the other side, and Kay almost flinched when she heard footsteps approach. Looking behind her, she searches for Light through the darkness and the rain. Aizawa opened the door, his annoyed expression dropping immediately when Kay turns back to look at him, pain and fear in her eyes.
In that moment, Kay wasn't the adoptive daughter of the fallen Chief of Police. In that moment, she wasn't a mother. In that moment, she wasn't the wife of Light Yagami. In that moment, she wasn't a Kira suspect. In that moment, Aizawa found himself wrapping his arms around the young adult, shocked by how cold she was. In the doorway, she looked so young, so vulnerable, so afraid. It was a stark contrast to what he had seized her up as. In that moment, he wanted to kick himself for ever believing that this girl could hurt someone. Not only that, but he wanted to kick the ass of whoever scared that look into her eyes.
"Come inside," he said quickly, ushering her out of the rain.
A woman stood up from the couch, a confused expression on her face.
"Darling, can you please go get a towel for Kay? She's the girl I had mentioned," Aizawa spoke softly to his wife.
The woman nodded, rushing out of the room. With his hand still on her back, Aizawa pushes Kay lightly to a wooden chair, where she hesitantly sat down. The woman returned, and he thanked her as he took the two towels she held out. He then held one out to Kay, who tentatively took it, beginning to dry her hair off.
Aizawa got down on one knee in front of her, looking up slightly to meet her fleeting gaze, worry echoing in his own.
"Kay...what are you doing here?"
Her mouth opened and closed several times, the memory distorting and coming back into focus repeatedly. The room began spinning, the floor jumping up at her. She hadn't even noticed that she fell over until the woman was helping her back up into the chair.
"Thank you," Kay mumbled.
The woman nodded, standing behind the chair now incase Kay fell over again. Aizawa breathed deeply, trying to read her face to find out what had happened. However, he didn't get the chance as Kay paled, her pupils dilating.
"Kay?"
Both Aizawa and his wife gasp when the younger woman's eyes roll back in her head and she falls forward. Aizawa catches Kay, quickly lifting her up.
"Something's wrong," he breathes, looking to his wife for guidance.
She touches his shoulder, concern in her eyes.
"Something's definitely wrong. A doctor will be able to help."
"Right. Stay with the kids; I love you."
The two kissed briefly before Aizawa readjusted Kay in his arms, carrying her out to his car in the garage. Placing her carefully in the backseat, he jumps behind the wheel, speeding out and towards the hospital.
'What the hell happened, Kay?'
Upon arrival just a few, short minutes later, Aizawa ran into the emergency room, eyes wide. A nurse rushes up, looking flustered.
"Sir? What's wrong?"
"Please, help her. Her name is Yagami Kaylen, she's 22...she's pregnant."
Several nurses take Kay and place her on a gurney. At that moment, she regained consciousness, thrashing around wildly, panicked.
"Don't touch me!" she screamed, startling everyone.
Aizawa, instinctively, lurches forward, grabbing Kay by her wrist and pressing her down onto the bed by her forehead, restricting her movements without hurting her.
"Kay, Kay! Calm down! You passed out. They're just trying to help you."
"Light...Light…"
"Do you want me to call Light?"
"No!"
That swarmed Aizawa in red flags, but he brushed it off when he noticed something else that was red.
"You're bleeding…"
Kay went still before looking down. Her crotch was darker than the rest of her jeans that had been stained by the rain. She made a choking sound before scrambling as far away from the forming stain on the gurney as she could while still staying on it. She trembled, breathing heavily, before baring her teeth and letting out a scream that made everyone turn their heads to look. A nearby doctor took initiative, injecting a sedative into Kay as multiple nurses scrambled to keep her still.
The world became fuzzy, spinning, before everything went dark.
The world was dark, cold. Kay couldn't see anything, nor could she feel anything around her. Afraid, she runs in a random direction, only stopping when she runs into something, hard. Falling back, she gazes up in horror as a light blinds her before it is redirected to shine on Soichiro on the other side of an invisible barrier.
Kay sprung up, launching herself at him.
"Soichiro!"
"Kay!"
The two both pounded on the barrier, tears streaming down their faces as they yelled for each other. Behind him, a cloaked figure approached, a large, boney scythe in its hands.
"No!" she screamed.
Soichiro turned around, fear consuming him as he falls, his back pressed against the barrier. Kay threw her body vigorously against it, watching helplessly, screaming, as the figure approached.
"No! No! No!"
The figure swings the scythe, blood splattering up at Kay. She scrambles away, not making it far before slamming into another barrier. Another light of invisible origin shines down, revealing Nozomi.
"Mommy? Mommy!" she screamed.
"Nozo!"
Kay pounded her fists against the barrier, ignoring the pain.
"Mommy!"
"Nozo!"
The figure appeared again, and Kay lost it, screaming at the top of her lungs as she threw her body repeatedly against the barrier. However, all she could do was crumble into a heap as the figure swung again, turning the barrier red.
"No! No! No-o-o…" Kay sobbed.
"Monster! Monster!"
Kay's head whipped up, reeling around to see Soichiro, Nozomi, her birth parents, Raye and his fiancee, and Ryuzaki and Watari, all bloody, all pointing a finger at her.
"Your fault! Your fault!" they screeched.
Kay ducked down, covering her ears with her hands.
"Stop it!" she yelled.
"Monster! Monster!"
"No!"
"Your fault!"
Then, suddenly, they all disappeared. Kay shuddered on the ground, still hunched over and clutching the sides of her head.
"Monster."
Kay looked up, seeing Matsuda glare down at her with hateful eyes. His leg swung back before slamming forward, connecting with her abdomen. Kay grunts, groaning loudly, though she doesn't put up a fight.
"Monster," he repeated, landing another kick.
"No!" Kay exclaimed, trying to shield herself from his blows.
His foot collided with her face, sending her spiraling back. Weak and coughing up blood, all she does is try to crawl away before he walks over, kicking her again. She flips over, facing him again.
"Monster!"
Kay holds her hands up, tears streaming down her face as she fearfully scooted back painfully.
"Touta, please!"
"Monster!" he roared, ripping a gun out of his shirt and aiming it at her.
"Touta-!"
The gun fires, smoke drifting out of the muzzle, the chamber now empty of its sole bullet.
Kay woke up in a haze on an examination bed in a bright room. There was a ringing in her left ear, and her vision was bleary. Though, she was able to focus on three figures standing in the corner of the room by a door. She groaned, grabbing their attention as she grabbed her abdomen, cramping making her squeeze her eyes shut.
"Yagami-san? Can you hear me?" a doctor asks, sounding underwater to Kay.
She shined a small flashlight in Kay's eyes, making her wince and shrink back. Someone caught her before she fell off the bed, and she tilted her head up to see Matsuda gazing down at her with a hard expression.
"Touta? What's going on? Where are we? Why am I in a medical gown?" Kay asked in rapid succession.
"Kay...something happened. Do you remember what?" Aizawa asked, steppin forward and leaning against a bedside table that held a lamp that was far too bright.
The whole room was too bright to the point that it made Kay nauseous as she squinted around. She tried to recall what Aizawa was referring to, and the events of the day came crashing down on her, threatening to crash her. Tears burned her eyes, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Soi-Soichiro…" she breathed, feeling dizzy once more.
"That's a beautiful name, Yagami-san. I'm sorry that you can't use it," the doctor said softly, oblivious to her error.
Kay's eyebrow arched, confusion consumed her before realization dawned on her face.
"My baby...my baby's dead?"
"Kay, I'm so sorry," Touta breathed, reaching down and wrapping his non-casted arm around her in an embrace as tears built up in his own eyes.
"My baby's dead?" Kay asked again, her face scrunched up in disbelief.
"I'm sorry for your loss. The fetus and uterine tissue have successfully been removed, so you no longer face the risk of blood-clots. I'll leave you three alone."
"Wait, doctor-" Aizawa said, following the older woman out of the room.
"My baby's dead," Kay said, staring at a corner of the ceiling.
Matsuda carefully shifted her before sitting down on the bed as well.
"Kay...what happened? Aizawa said that you just showed up on his doorstep soaking wet in the cold rain, and you screamed at him to not call Light before you were sedated."
"My baby's dead."
"Kay?"
"I couldn't...I couldn't-!"
She pulled her legs up to her chest, burying her face in her arms as tears ran freely down her cheeks.
"Kay-" Matsuda tried to say, looking disheveled.
"Damnit!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
She tried to get out of the bed, but Touta wrapped his arm around her. She thrashed in his hold, sounding rabid as a slew of curse words flicked off her tongue. Her face turned red as hot tears flew as she thrashed her head around. Her body curled in, making her as small as possible. Shaking from head-to-toe, her breathing was ragged as her chest heaved.
"Kay...please...tell me what happened," Matsuda croaked, a lump in his throat.
"It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault," Kay cried, her body wracked with sobs.
She squeezed her eyes shut, wanting the world to stop existing.
"It's not your fault," Touta said, his voice cracking, "miscarriages just-"
"Don't. Just...don't…"
"Okay."
Fleeting thoughts swirled through Kay's head as she limply leaned back into Touta's hold. Her eyes were glazed over, and her breathing came out hoarse but steady. So many things were screaming at her in her head, and she felt her sanity slipping away, weighed down by the secrets she kept to herself. She took a deep breath and then another.
"Light cheated on me...with Misa," she mumbled.
"I know...I was there with you in the lobby."
"No, I caught them together in our bedroom."
Matsuda stiffened, anger locking his limbs.
"Light admitted that he had been having an affair for our entire marriage," she murmured, more to herself than to Touta.
Numbness took over her, and indifference took over her.
"Light had tried to trick the mafia by keeping the real Death Note. He...he turned around when he heard the gunshot, putting Nozomi in the bullet's path."
Matsuda began trembling, his jaw clenched.
"We had a fight tonight, we were screaming our heads off at each other. He punched me, but he apologized. I locked myself in the bedroom before escaping through the window."
Touta's eyes darkened, his eyebrows furrowing as his hand balled into a tight fist.
"I found out this morning that Soichiro died. I had a miscarriage tonight."
Kay wanted to die. She honestly wanted to die. She was so tired. Who gave a shit? She didn't give a shit about justice. She didn't give a shit about Light. She wanted to be done. She was so tired.
The door opened, and Light rushed into the room, panic on his face before he looked at Kay and sighed in relief. Matsuda stiffly got up, stalking over to Light before using his full weight to punch Light, clipping him in the jaw and sending him back against the wall. Aizawa and a nurse rushed in, the former restraining Matsuda while the latter helped Light up.
"Matsuda! What the hell?" Aizawa growled.
"You bastard!" Touta roared, trying to lunge at Light.
He swung his head back, sending Aizawa reeling. Matsuda then tackled Light to the ground, clambering on top of him before crashing his free fist against the other man's face again and again. Two doctors came in, forcibly ripping Touta back. He gasped for air, glaring at Light menacingly.
Light, however, was rubbing his face, his nose bleeding.
"You care to tell me what the hell has gotten into you?" Aizawa snapped.
"Light had punched me when we were arguing. That's why I ran away from the house to yours," Kay mumbled, not having really reacted to the sudden violence.
"What?" Aizawa snarled, switching his gaze between Kay and Light.
"Even after everything you've done, Kay still protected you!" Matsuda yelled, no longer fighting the tight grip of the doctors holding his arms and keeping him on his knees.
"What are you talking about?" Light heaved, using a nearby cloth to cover his bloody nose.
"She didn't want to turn your family against you, so she kept everything to herself, you selfish bastard!"
"Should I call the police?" the nurse asked.
"We are the police!" Matsuda, Aizawa, and Light snapped at the same time.
"Page security," one of the doctors holding Matsuda down commanded with a huff.
The nurse left, and Kay got up out of bed. Aizawa was too stunned to stop her as she moved past, stopping in front of Light. Husband and wife stared at each other carefully for a moment before she held her hand out. Untrusting, he scrutinizes her gesture before hesitantly taking it. She lifts him up off the ground, surprising him with the strength that contradicted her frail appearance.
"I stayed with you for many reasons. Those reasons are all now dead. I'm moving in with Sayu and Sachiko, and I want a divorce," she said clearly before leaning in to whisper something for only Light to hear, "You think you're a god. Be prepared for judgement day."
