Soichiro opened it, and paused.
"Father...it was terrible." she suddenly cried into his arms. "I'm so sorry...I was so foolish to believe a word that Shinigami said."
"Well...now you know the truth about your Brother..." Soichiro sighed looking down at her. "W-Where is the Death Note, honey?" his grip tightened on her.
"I don't know..." Sayu sniffled. "I dropped it when the police were pursuing me."
"You do not mind if I look in the car?" Soichiro blinked
"You can look...Father..." Sayu nodded, she watched her Father investigate the car. Once he was finished, he made a reassuring sigh. "Lets go inside...but...Sayu you are to stay indoors, all right?"
"Yes, Daddy." Sayu went inside having a small dinner before being taken to her room. She had to meet Misa at the store. She waited for her family to go to sleep before heading off out the window with a back pack of supplies. Carefully she wandered outside taking quite a while to get to the store Misa would go too.
She paused finding her and Ryuk outside of the store sitting in a vehicle. "Hey...so is this your car?" she glanced it over. "You know we have to leave this here...and get out of town."
"Yep. I paid in cash two tickets to Kyoto..." Misa held them out.
"You have more cash though, right?" Sayu asked
"Yes...why? I packed a suitcase of it..." Misa nodded.
"Good...you know...my brother said you were stupid..." Sayu shrugged
"Light...never gave me a chance to show off that I can be smart too." Misa huffed. "Besides...I hate coppers..."
Ryuk tipped his head, watching her, as he devoured an apple.
"Ryuk...you realize you cannot have any apples once we get on the plane..unless you go into...the place where all the luggage is..." Sayu blinked
"WHAT?" he said and growled, clutching his bag of apples closer to himself. "My apples..."
"Well, stay in the luggage area then..." Sayu huffed. "The bag of apples will be there..."
Misa was driving for a short time, then paused noticing something out of the corner of her eye. She shook her head slightly driving on.
"What was it?" Sayu looked at the spot she looked at, then jumped back in her seat almost. "Something with wings...went that way.."
"Might just be a bird.." Misa shrugged pulling into the air port parking lot.
Sayu nodded. "Possibly...you're right. I'm being silly." she looked over at Ryuk. "Apples...please? It won't be that bad...you can go to the Luggage area...and be fine..."
Ryuk narrowed his eyes at her and huffed. "They'd better be safe..." he warned.
Sayu nodded, "They will be, you cannot kill an apple unless you eat it." she took the bag heading inside. The two forfeited the apples and the suitcase to the luggage area. They watched Ryuk go on the round about with the apples until heading up the ramp to the plane. She almost laughed.
The two head down the hallways to the plane. They sit in their seats heading over to Kyoto...
Shortly after takeoff, the two girls heard singing coming from the hold.
As your lips approach
The red apple
The blue sky
Watches in silence.
An apple is something
That doesn't speak, but
The apple's feelings
Are well understood.
The apple is lovely,
Lovely apple.
The apple is lovely,
Lovely apple...
There was silence for a moment as Ryuk ate an apple, then he sang the song again as he examined another apple from the bag.
Misa and Sayu looked at another, then up at the plane's ceiling. "Ugh..." both slid down in their seats listening on to this horrible song.

Soichiro woke up in the morning only to find his daughter had left. He clenched a fist knowing now that she had lied to him to get out of trouble. "She must have...gone back for the Death Note." he told himself. A slight sigh parted his lips. He paused noticing something taped to her window. Soichiro took a note from the window reading it
I'm sorry, Father. I must do this for Light. -Sayu
Soichiro huffed. He went out of her room heading to the car. Getting in he turned the engine driving to the Station.
WHen Soichiro entered the station, the security guard looked up at him and nodded. "Hey chief. There's someone in the director's office who wants to see you."
Soichiro nodded, "All right, thank you." he went to the office pausing in the door way. "Um...may I help you?"
The Director was sitting at his desk talking to someone in the chair in front of him, and both of them looked up at his entrance. The person sitting in the chair sat much like L did, almost in a crouch on top of the cushion. He was wearing a white shirt and pants and had short curly white hair. "Yagami! Please, come in!" said the director, gesturing to the second chair in front of his desk.
Soichiro nodded to his Director taking a seat waiting for all of this to unfold
"Chief Yagami, this is Near. He says that he has something to speak to you about." The director looked at Near expectantly, but Near only stared back for a moment before saying, "Director, would you be so kind as to give us some privacy...?" The director looked slightly taken aback, but said, "Uh...sure." It was obvious that he didn't want to go, but he got up and left. As soon as the door was shut, Near turned to Soichiro. "Soichiro Yagami. You are...were...Light's father, correct?"
Soichiro looked at Near intensely, "Yes...I am...was..." he cleared his throat. "Why do you ask?"
