Chapter 9

The Plane

L's POV

Kissing her was better than I ever imagined it would be. I leaned back a bit and cupped her face in my hands.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I thought I was protecting you."

"All that matters to me is that you told me. I wish we had more time, but Maki needs help." She said.

"She'll try to leave the country with Maki. I need to get to the airport. I'll call Suruga, but I need you to stay here."

"I don't think so."

I held bother hands in mine.

"Please, for once just listen to me?"

She sighed but nodded.

"I love you. I love you so much." I told her.

I kissed her hard.

"I love you too."

Her hands slid from mine as I left.

Elena's POV

I knew L well enough by now. I knew whatever he planned to do, there was a chance he wouldn't come back. All I had to do was figure out what plane she'd be on.

L's POV

Suruga picked me up in the van. I explained what happened and we started driving.

"Is Kujo leaving Japan? So, does that mean they've developed an antidote?" He asked.

"No. By taking Maki she is deceiving the Blue Ship members into thinking the antidote is complete."

"Then how does Kujo intend to scatter the virus?" he asked.

"They could disguise as an emergency patient and medical staff. They could very easily board a plane. Then hijack the plane."

"To where?"

"Probably the U.S."

"America?"

"Matoba may have chosen the destination. As you said, Matoba uses the ecology group as his front. He has no principles, only greed. Greedy people will head for the most profitable country."

Elena's POV

I got onto the plane wearing a hat and sunglasses. It was a pretty flimsy disguise but it worked. I saw two of the Blue Ship members and they didn't recognize me. I saw Kujo and Matoba, but there was nothing I could do yet.

"Good morning, passangers. This is your captain, Saito. We're ready to take-off, but have just received a report from control tower. A suspicious vehicle is on the runway…"

I looked out the window and there it was. That ugly hot pink van. I smiled and I saw Kujo run to the window. Kujo ran back to Maki and Matoba followed her. Next, Kujo pretty much threw Maki to a stewardess. My eyes widened and Kujo began handing out guns.

"Mierda." I hissed.

The Blu Ship girl stood up and so did the guy who once pointed a rifle at me. They ran to the front and Kujo handed them guns. People started to panic.

Hurry L!

One man tried to get away but the woman got him and threw him back into his seat.

"Don't move!"

I grit my teeth.

"What's going on? We only take action above the U.S.!" said the other man.

"Don't be so rigid. Change of plans!" said the woman.

I had a gun but if I started to fire, they might kill civilians. I looked over at Maki. She and the stewardess were both showing symptoms of the virus. In a matter of minutes every one else would have it to.

"Except me." I whispered.

"You tricked us!"

Matoba was starting to lose it. When no one was looking, I got down on the floor and slowly started to crawl up to the front. I heard Martoba start begging for help and then he started choking. I saw him fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

L's POV

Suruga drove faster as the plane started to move. I opened the door and leaned out. I got onto the stairs and went as fast as I could. My only choice was to jump into the open door. I took a deep breath and leapt forward. I managed to pull myself but then I heard a click. I looked up into the barrel of a gun. I stood up and walked forward. Kujo was next to Maki.

"Don't mind them. It's merely a minor sacrifice for a big purpose."

"No." they looked at me. "Whatever the reason may be, murder is always a bad thing."

Kujo stood up and walked towards me.

"Too bad. It's too late now."

"It's not too late."

She looked confused so I held up the antidote.

"The antidote. We've succeeded, we can save them all." I said.

She looked around and I could see the symptoms starting to appear on her face.

"Inject this in everyone." I said.

The woman behind me grabbed me and ran forward.

"You've done enough damage!"

She tore a baby from her mother's arms and held a knife to the infant.

"We don't need that! This girl and everyone else here will die!"

She never carried out her threat. She fell to the ground and the mother quickly took her baby. Kujo slowly came forward.

"Like she said, we'll all die. Mankind which destroys the environment and wages war, should die. A correct ecosystem will save the world!"

"Kujo-san, is that what Watari hoped for?" I asked.

She stared at me for a few seconds, her lip quivering.

"He said, 'Make the world a better place.' So, destroy mankind. You must take over this plan!" she said desperately.

"I decline. Mankind must have the power to change the future."

"It's too late now. The plane will fly and the virus will spread."

"No." I reached into my pocket. "This magnetic wave of this is enough to crash the plane. The virus will fall into the sea and become harmless."

She smiled for some reason.

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

I was confused and she looked to her right. I followed her gaze and my eyes went wide.
