"Kai-chan- I mean Hakumei Kaisou you are now under arrest for the charges of being Kira." Matsuda said shakily, rousing Amaya from her sleep.
Amaya yawned and stretched, eyes droopily gazing up at the surrounding Task Force officers surrounding the bed she was currently laying in," Hey," she greeted happily, her light gray eyes scanning the room slightly confused," What are you guys doing?"
"You are Kira," Officer Yagami stated firmly, an odd tone in his voice," Even though you tried to pin this on my dear son, Light, who had done nothing wrong."
When he said the name Light, her heart seemed to have stopped as she came to the realization of what happened. It felt like a train just rammed into her as her eyes widened when Matsuda came up behind her and placed the silver handcuffs on her wrists as she got off the bed.
Misa wearily came into room, eyes drowning in guilt as her eyes pleaded with Amaya's angrily tearing ones. Amaya defiantly averted her gaze to stare at a bag she brought with her which now had Misa's Death Note popped out of the top.
"These assholes set me up!" Amaya yelled, struggling against her bonds as they led her out of the house, Misa meekly following behind. Amaya turned, eyes glowering with anger as she stared at Misa and hissed venomously," I hope you and Light-kun enjoy your eternity in nothingness. Or maybe if we're lucky, hell."
Misa didn't respond but hung her head as she stopped at her doorway as Amaya was being tugged over to the police car," And to think I knew this was going to happen," Amaya let out a sarcastic laugh," And I decided to give you a chance."
Amaya was placed in the back of the cruiser and was driven to the Head Quarters where they handcuffed her to a bed in a cell similar to the one Light was in when he was testing his theory if he was 'subconsciously' Kira or not. Amaya sat on the bed, staring up at the ceiling feeling defeated.
"God damn me for being too trusting," she muttered, leaning her forehead against the cool cement walls that surrounded her.
"Indeed," a voice came from the entrance of her cell. Amaya's head shot up and she felt her blood boil as Light stared down at her, his brown eyes glinting with smug accomplishment," Now, your beloved L and Watari are going to die, with no one in my way. I think we both know when I plan to have them killed, I actually have the exact time."
Amaya stared emotionlessly at Light, while she was in mental turmoil with her stomach churning uneasily with panic and the feeling of dread to add to her unease. He seemed to frown a bit of her bland expression and continued pushing to see some sort of reaction or response.
"At exactly 11:15 Watari will die, and within the next minute, as will L," he said, finally seeing her shoulders tense slightly as her eyes glowed with malice aimed towards him made his sadistic smile twitch into an even wider grin," Which, also happens to be the time of which you'll be executed. Isn't that a coincidence?'
"You son of a bitch," she rasped, clenching her fists as she got up off the bed to the rails which was the only thing keeping her from pummeling his pretty boy face as his wide grin melted into a small smirk.
"I'll then have no one in my way, not some freak detective and his little girl thing." He murmured, as Amaya gripped the rails so tightly her knuckles turned white, breathing becoming labored as anger coursed freely through her veins.
"Did you not listen to anything I said before at the market?" Amaya asked desperately, as she fell to her knees, tears beginning to flow down her cheeks," What you're doing is wrong, and you're going to lose. Even if L, Watari and I are dead, there are others that will stop you. And I know this."
"Isn't that interesting," he said sarcastically, taking what she said as a bluff," We'll just have to see, Kai-chan."
Amaya sat on her knees, her pride shattering into pieces around her as she gazed up at Light and began to plead," I'll do anything, Light, just don't kill L and Watari. It doesn't matter if I do, please, I made a promise!"
Light looked down at her for a few moments, then a smirk appeared once more on his face," Anything?"
She swallowed painfully and nodded slowly, head bowed.
"Nope, you have no use for me, and by the way," he paused," No one cares for the 'accidental judgment' death of your dear brother," he laughed coldly, making Amaya's demeanor fall apart as she leapt to her feet and quickly reached for the bars and punched him square in the face, and felt satisfied when she heard a sound crack indicating a new broken nose for the young Yagami.
"You bitch," he growled, holding his nose as crimson blood trickled down his face and hands.
Amaya feigned surprise and promptly replied," Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't think gods could bleed."
Light mustered up the most deadly glare and sent it Amaya's way as he spun on his heel and out of the cell room, and thankfully out of Amaya's sight.
With a sigh she returned back to the uncomfortable cot/bed and leaned her forehead on the chilling cement once more. Closing her eyes she began to hum a song she remembered to calm her down.
Tell me what it is
that you see in our futures,
and I'll make it worth your while
to tell me what you think.
"I can't do this," she whimpered, now hugging her knees as she rested her chin on them," I'm just an average girl. I can't save myself… let alone anyone else."
I'm almost at my breaking point
Tell me what you feel
The words in her head
could level city blocks
if they ever got said.
But the world waits on you to make the move.
"And I never got to tell mom I'm sorry," she whispered to herself, raising her head to the ceiling to try and stop the tears from overflowing," I've never thought of home until now. I miss it, and I'll never see them again."
Well I'll tell you,
Everything will be all right.
Rebuilding lives can take time.
"Amaya?" a voice called questioningly from the darkness, making Amaya gasp at hearing her own name and the voice.
"Spencer!" she yelled, jumping up to hug her shining elder brother," Thank God."
Amaya just went through and she looked back up at him, confusion written clearly on her face," Wha-what?"
"I'm not allowed to be truly here, Amay." He replied, his own face had worry written on it," Why didn't you use the Once Note sooner?"
"I-I don't know," she moaned, pacing back and forth with a feverish expression," I was afraid of what might happen, so I was going to use it right before their deaths!"
"Amay, Amay, Amay…" he sighed," I can't save you out of this one."
Tell me why it is
you can't see your own future
I'll make it worth your while.
"Why not?" Amaya asked eyebrows furrowed with an anxious expression," Not only will L and Watari die, but I will too! For something horrible that I didn't do!"
Spencer got an uneasy expression and frowned," You'd think I wouldn't know how that feels like Amaya?"
"I'm sorry Spence," she replied guiltily, eyes down to the floor," Do you think you can get the Once Note for me?"
"I can't," he said face contorted in concern for his younger sister," This is only the hologram of me, I can't touch or feel anything."
"Alright…" she murmured quietly, almost every hope was destroyed to get her, L and Watari out of this.
The words in her head
could level city blocks
if they ever got said.
But the world waits on you to make the move.
"I've got to go now," Spencer said grimacing, and his light slowly began to fade as did anything left of Amaya's spirit.
"I guess I'll see you in a bit then, huh?" Amaya said with a wry smile," That's one thing I can look forward to, right?"
Spencer was about to reply when he completely disappeared. Amaya stared down at her hands, feeling just numbness with the realization that not only she, but Lawliet and Watari were going to die.
Well I'll tell you,
Everything will be all right.
Rebuilding lives can take time.
"Amaya?" a new voice called, making Amaya raise her head slightly to see the distressed expression in L's face," Is Amaya alright?"
"Just peachy," she replied in monotone, then looked up at him as hope came rebounding back," L, are you okay?"
"I suppose so, just a step up from you," he said, with a small sigh," Did Light just come down here not too long ago?"
Amaya nodded," Mhmn, just wanted to gloat the fact that you, Watari and I are going to die basically at the same time. But, I might have broke his nose, you know, I might have, but then again you never know."
"Very well done," he replied with a very small chuckle," And I have something for you, Amaya. Well, two things."
"Will they possibly save our asses?" she asked with a raised eyebrows.
"Amaya will be the judge of that," he murmured, grasping her chin lightly, wiping away the remaining tears that laid on her cheek with his thumb. L tilted her head towards him, as he leaned down to touch his lips to her trembling soft ones.
She immediately responded and pressed her lips against his firmly as she reached through the bars the wrap her arms awkwardly around his neck. L nibbled on her bottom lip and smoothly slid his tongue in her mouth which swirled around her own. She closed her eyes, basking in the happiness she had just received by simply kissing him. After a minute or two later she paused.
Then Amaya backed away slightly, halting the kiss as her cool gray eyes searched his own," That might make me quite happy, L, I will admit which also includes the fact that you are a superb kisser, but it won't save us."
"But this might," L said, slightly peeved that the kiss ended earlier then he had wished but handed her the familiar silver notebook.
"The Once Note!" she exclaimed, eyes bright and a grin grew. She quickly gave him a swift kiss on the lips then turned to him to ask for a pen which he knew and handed her a ball point one.
She opened the note, and turned to the page she would write and held the pen over the page hesitantly as one of the rules came flooding back to her mind. A creaking sound erupted and she looked up to see L had opened the cell door.
"Amaya is worried about the rule speaking of the sacrifice I believe." He stated matter of factly," And before you do write anything else, I wish to tell Amaya something."
"Hmm?" she murmured turning to see him sitting in his usual awkward pose next to her on the cot.
"I feel like I've known Amaya-chan for a very long time, something similar to what people call de-ja-vu. I've often had dreams about Amaya with.. memories about things that have never occurred." He admitted, gazing deeply at her from under his head of messy raven black hair," But the one thing that now puzzles me the most is, is the fact that in my dreams, Amaya-chan can not –"
"Please.. stop," she whispered quickly," I-I don't want to know."
A rumble of thunder boomed, and Amaya could hear rain pounding from the outside," Is it today? I thought today was.. yesterday! Damnit, Misa must have put sedatives in my drink and waited until the next day… " she rambled then halted as another boom came from the distance.
"Will Amaya give up something of much value for.. Watari and me?" he asked softly.
Without responding she quickly wrote the pair's name in the note. After a few moments passed, and a blinding light filled her vision then all Amaya saw a black. The last thing she remembered was the sound of the rain halting slightly into a softer drizzle, it's steady rhythm in her mind. Night rain. My name seems to take control over my life, Amaya. My night rain.
Don't tell me that you've given up
its only 9 o'clock.
Give yourself some time to think
and us some time to talk.
You hide your smile.
We can't build a life in one night,
we've got time.
