It was December fifth. We knew this day would come. At least me and the boys did. Mello did not and I watched as he was called in. I wondered if he'd be hesitant to leave, or he'd take me with him. I went and eavesdropped at the door. I didn't care if Rodger scolded me or not after this. I heard Mello saying "Rodger what did you just say?" and then even if I couldn't hear Rodger I knew what he would say was "I'm afraid L is dead." It went on agonizing my heart as I heard his suffering. L and him were close. I heard more like a script I knew what was said and would be said.
When he stormed out, I held him close. He looked at me. "You knew" He said no question just a matter of fact tone.
"yes" I answered softly ashamed that it seemed to be freakish.
"but I'll keep my promise" He said holding my chin gently tilting my chin and lips up as he leaned down and kissed me. I closed my eyes as our lips connected. "stay here no one but me should have to risk their lives chasing after Kira." He said and then went to his room to pack. I watched him pack, I saw it was raining and knew it would. I gave him an umbrella. He turned to me. "are you sure?" he asked. I nodded. He then looked at the bracelet. "I have no other gift than the gift you already bear"
"your love" i said softly and watched him leave. There was no answer at all when he left. Matt had decided to sneak up behind me.
"you knew didn't you?" he whispered as he hugged me making me shiver with the creepy nature. I closed my eyes.
"yes I did" I confessed. It was not needed to say more. We stood in silence giving him our support. I then leaned against Matt. We each turned back. The secret that we shared was enough to keep us from drifting apart. He just took me to his room to play two player games and we were busy getting lost in each of the games so that we didn't have to talk about it. So we just immersed ourselves in the games.
"do you think you'll leave?" I asked. Matt shrugged.
"I'll leave if I want to. I'm not chasing after him but nor do I really wan to be L or Near's successor so I guess it depends on how much I can stand the place" He turned to me. "and you?"
"I'll stay till I'm at least old enough to drive then I'll most likely chase him as something bad might happen if I don't reach him in time" I replied. Matt nodded.
"in that case come with me when you turn 16, we'll leave this place" Matt said and I nodded solumly. "does your future knowlage have to deal with what you have from japan?" he asked. I was feeling his probeing gaze. While Mello's peirced your soul, Matt's was like a begging puppy that was also curious. I looked dow breaking down.
"yes" I admitted. "truth is I'm from a different world where I knew everything that was going to happen I loved him then and when we met together face to face, I fell deeper in love. His boyish carefree smile, his rare doing romantic things but always caring, his not going back on on a promise he made months ago" I said looking up to him. "My notebook was a prop back in my world but it acs like a real death note and lets me see who Kira with it. I killed one person but since my note book is a working shadow, so nothing I write ever gets traced back to Kira."
