Ace and Mello arrived in Japan. Ace had told us what was going on. I got the message from Light how the next eclipse was on the twenty seventh of January. This definitely threw a wrench because that was the day Mello was fated to die. There was no way to stop Ace from staying and trying to prevent it. I phoned James. "She's arrived. " I said following her and Mello. James I knew would be more likely to talk to Mello without setting off danger signals.

I looked at the two holding their suit cases but intimately close. I mean they could be under the same umbrella. Watching them and seeing her so happy and normal made me feel like a villain in a fairytale for what I was going to have to do. I kept asking why in my head because it was clear that she and him were perfect for each other. The biggest issue was she loved him so much Kira would win and she'd not care as long as Mello was alive.

They looked around searching for something. I wasn't sure if they were looking for someone following them or some kind of transportation. I soon was greeted with the sight of a red sports car bringing a motorcycle. I swallowed knowing that I couldn't follow either of them and hoped that she would come to the house to crash like she told me she was going to do. The fact that it was Mello made it hard for her to crash away from him. I could only guess at what the sleeping arrangements would have been a garage maybe.

The bike was detached but they put the cases into the car trunk. It was clear that the car would be going to the hide out first. I clenched my fist as I noticed Mello lean in and whisper something in Ace's ear and she laughed smiling. It hit me in the gut knowing James and I would be taking that away from her. If it hadn't been a sure thing that bringing him into our world would be disastrous to the point of some kind of paradox, I would have tried to get him in with her.

It was also going to create a paradox and worse if she stayed. There was also the fact we needed her to help us get back home. I liked this place but missed my old life before. James I had a feeling of doing so too. I sighed wondering if we were being selfish making her do this. I mean did she even want to go home? It was hard to judge if she cared about her old life. I hoped that something of his would make the journey with her to ease her burden of not being with him. I had to talk with Light about what he would think would pass through with us without disturbing the chances of us making it home.

I followed them as best as I could once they took off. I soon broke down and called Light Yagami. James could follow them until he could find a time to talk with Mello. I had to figure out what to do to soften the blow. After a few rings I got a tired sounding Light on the phone. "Hey you know anything we can bring with us through the portal?"

"No why?"

"Because I need to soften the blow"

"You risk a paradox. We don't even know one hundred percent if this will work." he said sounding spooked.

"I got to because the sanity after the separation will kill her. "

"That's not my problem. She's got pills for that kind of thing in her world doesn't she"

"Nothing will ever cure Heart break."
