Run Away Troubles Part 8

Where..am I? Is this a dream? I feel dead..yet..I can hear the voices again. There coming to me..
Am I dead? Have I died yet?

"She's suffered a real head injury,She'll need to rest a lot. Try to keep her relaxed and mellow,anything you can do that will calm her."

Soichiro nodded. "Yes,thank you. Ryuuzaki and Watari?" "Ryuuzaki has just a bruise and a cut,he should be fine. As for Watari,a few burn marks. If it weren't for this young lady here,
they'd be dead. Including herself. That girl's father should be proud."

That literally tore my heart into two. Soichiro nodded with a small smile. "Yes,he should." The doctor nodded,as he picked up his bag placing his equipment in it. "Be sure to give her the medication. And she should be fine in no time.
But she may suffer from memory loss. So be careful."

Soichiro nodded. "Yes,thank you." He said with a small smile,as the doctor had left.
I warily fluttered my eyes open,seeing a bright light making me squint. "Wh-where..?" Soichiro walked over to me,his head blocking the harsh light. "You've awaken. That's great news." Mastuda rushed in. "Ryuuzaki and Watari are just waking up!"
Soichiro blinked as a smile went on his face,he looked down at me. "I'll be right back." He nodded as he rushed off.

"Matsuda!" I called. Matsuda rushed in,looking at me. "Yes?" "Can you please turn off the light..it hurts my eyes." I said squinting again,trying to get away from the harsh light.

"Oh of course!" Matsuda said as he turned off the lights. "Anything else?"
"No thank you,please just leave the door open for a little light. I don't want it to be like a hundred suns are in here."

Matsuda nodded as he rushed off,leaving the door open.

I inhaled a sharp breath as I slowly lifted myself up from my resting place,okay I can sit up. Can I stand? Testing that theory,I slowly began to get on my two legs.
I failed miserably.

"Esho!" I heard a mans voice,and footsteps rush over to my side. Looking beside me. It was Ryuuzaki! "Ryuuzaki!" I called.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he helped me up.I nodded as he helped me gain my balance.
"Thanks.." I said weakly. He looked at me,and his features softened. "I believe I'm the one who should be thanking you,Esho-chan."
Before I could reply,Watari walked in the room. "Watari!" I exclaimed as my face curled into a warm smile.

"Yes,I do believe Ryuuzaki is telling the truth. If it weren't for you,none of us would be standing here today." I smiled sheepishly. "Th-thanks." Ryuuzaki pulled away a bit,still holding onto my waist. Trying to support myself from falling. Satoru flinched as he rushed in and hugged her,shoving Ryuuzaki away.
"Esho! I'm so sorry I wasn't there-" Before he could finish. I shoved him hard into the wall. "IF YOU'RE SO SORRY THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU COME WHEN I NEEDED YOU!"
"Esho I'm sorry I-" I attacked at him again,but Ryuuzaki stopped me. "Esho.." He said comfortingly,as I fought against his hold. "WHERE WERE YOU!" I screamed. "WHERE IS THE MAN THAT I ONCE CALLED FATHER!"

"Esho!" Ryuuzaki shouted,I began to bawl my eyes out reaching out to kill him. "Esho,It's the medication. You're hallucinating!" Satoru reminded.
"I'M NOT HALLUCINATING! I KNOW WHAT I HEARD! YOU LEFT ME,RYUUZAKI AND WATARI THERE FOR DEAD!"

"That's not true Esho!" "SHUT UP!" I shouted. My actions began to slow along with my arms. I hid my shoulder in Ryuuzaki's shoulder,beginning to quietly sob. "It's all his fault." I whispered hoarsely.
Watari sighed,"Anything I can do Ryuuzaki?"

"Please escort Satoru out,I'll let her sleep in my room for the time being." Watari nodded,as Satoru followed behind Watari.

Ryuuzaki picked me up,carrying me to his room. "I know what I saw,I'm not lying. What is the meaning behind all of this?"
Ryuuzaki looked down at me,as I turned the doorknob for him.

Ryuuzaki walked in laying me down on the bed.
I gulped trying to find my voice again. "I know what I saw."
Ryuuzaki sat close to me,eying at me. "What did you see?"

"I remember the car spinning around and around. Watari slamming the breaks,my head slamming against the window. I'm slowly coming to my senses and I see you with your face down Your arm extended out to the right and you're left arm hanging. I remember looking around,and then that's when the fire began to start. I grabbed you and I tried to get you out by kicking down the car door. I dragged you out into the rain,the highway was empty not a single car passed. I had to crawl to get Watari out,my energy was just about to run out. And with the little strength I had left I rescued Watari. And then,I screamed for anyone to help but no-one did. I tried looking for a phone but I didn't have one. So I had to use you're phone. So I called Dad and he said that he couldn't come and he was busy.
I don't remember his exact words but I remember them being harsh. And that's when the car exploded,so I had to protect you and Watari. With all my strength I carried you back to the headquarters and here we are now."
L looked at her,with his thumb in his mouth. "I see..you should get some rest. You earned it,Esho-chan."

I curled a small smile,as he got up and walked to the door closing it behind him. I looked to the window,seeing how bright and sunny it was. Why is my father so cruel to me? There has to be a reason.
Why didn't he answer? Why did he say that I'm hallucinating? Something is very wrong here,and I'm about to get to the bottom of this.

I closed my eyes,as nightmares invited themselves in. I couldn't sleep,not now. I slowly got myself on my feet and headed for the doors,opening it up. I saw 'Matsuda-The-Moron' standing in front of me.
"S-sorry Esho-Chan,but strict orders from Ryuuzaki that you stay in here." I rolled my eyes about to get past him,but he grabbed my arm. "I will go full measures." He said warningly.

I groaned as I walked back,slamming the doors in front of him. Having no choice to go to bed. Why did he even care? He's only in love for what I did,not for who I am.
Could he be..in love with me?

Ryuuzaki's POV I sat in my usual position,thinking. It was strange that right after we meet Light Yagami,we get in a car-crash. And before that,the second Kira. I have now just discovered that Kira can control the time of death. What is the meaning behind this? This has to be some sort of code. And what Esho said is true,could Satoru be working for Kira? As a few hours had passed..

Eshos Pov

I walked to the doors,seeing Matsuda was asleep up against the wall. Tip-toeing over his legs,trying not to wake him up. Holding in a yawn,checking the clock. It was only 6:59pm. Wow..late much? Sneaking over to Ryuuzaki's desk I silently pulled the folder that was right beside Ryuuzaki. But with a quick graceful touch,he stopped me grabbing my wrist. "What are you doing? He asked me. "I..wanted to see what you found out so far." He released my wrist gently.
"Shouldn't you be asleep?..wait let me guess,Matsuda fell asleep?" I nodded. "It was easy to walk past him." He glanced up at me. "I see.." "Well,since I'm here." I began. "Can I stay and help?" "First of all,are you feeling alright?" "Yes,I am."
"I hope you're not lying." He warned.
"I promise you I'm feeling fine now."

"...Very well then." He gestured me a seat beside him. I took a seat and yawned as I began to look through the files. "A second Kira?" I glanced at him,careful not to make my head spin. "Yes,and what I find strange is that we are in a car crash a few minutes after we meet Light Yagami." "That's too soon for him to make a move,don't you think?" I added.
"Yes,I think so too."
"Oh yeah! I also noticed,my father said I was hallucinating that I saw him say that he couldn't come."
Ryuuzaki looked towards me,tilting his head. Gesturing me to go on. "And the way he acted,it was as if he was sympathetic. Something strange is going on Ryuuzaki,I can feel it."
"Hm,so I'm not the only one feeling that strange.." He said keeping his sentence ongoing.
"Aura?" I finished for him.

"Yes,that is the word am I correct?" He said eying at me again.
I nodded. "Yeah."

Lights POV

I chuckled as I walked through the streets,a car ran past me spilling water all over me. My left eye twitched,as I bawled my fist in the air. "HEY I JUST BOUGHT THIS!" Growling he changed his direction to head home. "Great,100 yen down the toilet."
I said to myself mumbling. Ryuk,the annoying shinigami appeared before me. "Aw whats wrong? Have a bad day?" "Shut up." I mumbled to him. He laughed a rich laugh,that sent a chill up my spine. "So,what about that Satoru guy?" Light smirked. "He's quite useful to be honest,plus he's apart of the task-force it only makes my job alot easier. If only I could get my hands on her alone,for a few minutes I could probably get her to join me." "That's alot of power you're talking about Light." Ryuk answered.
I scoffed. "That's just enough power to make the world a better place." I stopped as I looked around making sure no-one was following me,I picked up my phone dialing Satoru's number. "Satoru?"
"Yeah it's me. What's up?"
"Are you alone?"
"Yeah,I am." "I need you to make an arrangement with Esho. I need to get her to join us on her side,has she gotten close to L?"
"Yeah she has." I gave a cocky laugh. "Good,set up the arrangement ok? And with this information,L will persaue her to go out with me, since I am their suspect." Satoru chuckled. "Alright boy,you take care now." Satoru hung up along with Light.
"And everything unfolds." I smirked evilly at myself.
