~Shiroi~Shinigami~ [Death Note]

Game of words

Glance on the shattered glass

Guess one cannot the reason for this chaos

Seventh Chapter

''Watari !'' The young girl yelled running to the familiar old man but stopped when she saw something white behind him.

''Hello how are you Gina ? Today I bought someone with me.'' The old guy wearing black suit told the young girl and moved a little, revealing young boy dressed in white pajamas and he had very pale skin along with his snow white hair. ''This is Nate River.'' Watari introduced.

''I am called Gina, Nice to meet you Nate.'' The girl told the young boy with smile and he just nodded. But as time passed they got used to each other and became friends. They were close and the shy white haired boy had gotten more open around people. Nate was very intelligent and liked to solve different kind of puzzles. The girl with name Gina often helped him as she too had grown to like them. Also Gina was about three years older than Nate, so she liked teaching him.

One day Nate had asked her why does she always stay in the mansion all alone, when the world itself was so large. Gina couldn't answer that question as she didn't know and that's when they did something they couldn't have...

That was the beginning of chaos...

Gina woke up heavily panting as she had just seen the same nightmare she sees often. At first it's just happy memory of her and Nate but it's soon covered by blood and horrifying screams of the other victims.

It was one of the memories you wanted to forget but that wasn't possible, because you still felt the pain.

Back in old days Nate wanted show you the outside world, which he often sees but luck wasn't on your side as dangerous serial murderer was on move. He was very clever for a murderer but merciless at that. Even you two children got caught in that mess and later you had discovered, that too was shinigami's doings. The whole story was way too messed up. It was never known had he gone insane or what, because he just disappeared after the case where you two got caught in but that was for good.

You wouldn't know what you would do if you met the same person again. Back then you sacrificed yourself in order to let Near escape, so you were tortured in his place too. The serial murderer was muttering something about dark magic and all other things as he wanted to revive someone but that was impossible.

Near had seen the scene later after he had gotten help but it was too late. Everyone was dead or at least everyone could have been. You had lost way too much blood and your body was covered by cuts. The bodies were buried carelessly by the criminal and later eaten by wild animals, so no one would know, that you were alive. If not for the black blood you would have died or actually it was then, that you were no longer human.

Right now Near couldn't probably even recognize you. Back in his memories you had silky black hair and red eyes. You already had pale skin then but after you ''died'' your skin become even paler and your hair lost it color and changed into silvery white, which it was now and you grew. Only thing that remained same was the eyes, that weren't even yours but your dead mother's. The red death god's eyes with same color as blood.

Always when you were close someone you hurt them. Like you did to Near, even if you didn't mean to. After that incident you decided to stay away from people. Even now that you were working on the Kira case you wouldn't get close to others no matter what. That way you either won't get hurt after someone dies.

Near too chose the same way but deep down he must be blaming himself for your death and the reason why he became L's follower.

''Gina are you awake ?'' Matsuda asked at the other side of door after knocking.

''Y-Yeah.'' You answered back being little startled.

''L wants to discussion about the tapes.'' Matsuda said and left. You got up from your bed and dressed. After dressing you left your room to look for others but were stopped as you saw cake piece on the table next to your door. Smile spread on your face as you picked up the plate with cake. The temperature was quite chilly in the hotel room so it hadn't gotten bad and made it still eatable. Next to the cake there was small spoon which you held up and tasted the strawberry cheese cake. It was good and brightened your mood up after your nightmare. You were thankful to the person who had left it there, though you didn't quite know who would have done so. First person who came to your mind was L as he was always eating sweets but wasn't he antisocial ? Whatever you thought and went to the room where everyone else was discussing about the tapes that were sent by this fake kira, Amane Misa.

L was explaining the contest of every four tapes. Yesterday the fake Kira had been asking for police's cooperation with creating new world. First and second tapes were his conditions. Third tape was ''Yes'' and it would be broadcasted if police agreed to his conditions but L chose fourth tape which was ''No'' and four days later it would be broadcasted on Sakura TV.

In the midst of the falling flowers and moonlight, you spread your arms,

and danced with a smile, but somehow, it felt so sorrowful.
