So here we go with Eva's story, hopefully I will be able to complete this faniction time because I had to discontinue it in 2013 for reasons. So I'll be taking my time with this fanficiton while I'm writing my Attack on Titan fanfic along side it. If you don't like my fanfictions then just don't read them, bad reviews kill my creativity.
I'll be going by the anime with Beyond Birthday's death date which will be on the 21st of January 2007.
This fanfiction is a follow on from Beyond This Love/The Wammy House Memories.
I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Chapter 13!
I could smell cream cakes and coffee wafting through the cafe, it smelt delicious even though I was too young to drink coffee. I heard my Uncle say arigatou gozaimasu which meant thank you in Japanese to the cafe assistant, he then started walking again while I snuggled my face into his jacket's collar. I felt him patting my back has he walked, he then whispered to me that we were getting closer to Nonie and Light's table now.
I slightly nodded my head and tucked my hands underneath my chin, but without warning I heard someone say my Uncle's alias name. I took a sly peek from my Uncle's jacket and took a look at the person who had said his alias name, it was the light bulb man. My Auntie Nonie looked surprised to see us inside of the cafe, she even dropped her spoon onto her plate of chocolate cake with whipped cream on top of it.
" Akira, is that you?" Asked Light.
I heard my Uncle swear underneath his breath, I couldn't help but let out a small giggle has he froze on the spot. He sighed deeply to himself and looked over his shoulder in the direction where the male's voice had come from, he then said hello to him while he turned around to face him with a smile on his face. I took a look at Light, he was dressed in very smart looking clothes and his hair looked soft. There were books laid out on the table and there was even a pencil in a cup of coffee, they both looked surprised to see us here.
" Hey, fancy seeing you guys here!" He said in a surprised voice while he pulled his hood down and then ran his fingers through his hair. " What a small world, hey? I didn't even know you guys were having dinner here, what a coincidence..."
" Oh hello Akira, what are you doing here?" Asked Nonie with a hint of anger in her voice. " I thought you were taking Ichigo out for the day, why are you here?"
" It's a funny story, well it quite a simple explanation really..." He replied with chuckle. " You see Ichigo needs to use the restroom and we were driving past this cafe, so I had no other choice but to call in so she can relieve herself..."
" Do you want me to take her for you?" She asked.
" Nope, I've got it..." He replied.
" Akira, why don't you let Nana take Ichigo to the restroom..." Said Light has he picked his cup of coffee up from the table and took a sip of it. " It would make more sense if your Sister took her to the restroom, we could then chat until they returned..."
I pulled myself away from my Uncle and looked at his face, he looked rather surprised by Light's gesture. He looked down at me and raised both of his eyebrows at me, I then gave him a smile while I gave him a nod of my head. He agreed to letting his Sister take me to the restroom, he told his Sister that they would both leave when I had visited the restroom.
I watched my Auntie Nonie get up from her chair, she then took me from her Brother and carried through the cafe. I looked over her shoulder and watched my Uncle A sit down in her chair, but I couldn't see the clown monster in the cafe. It wasn't long until we were in the restroom, it was quite a nice restroom and it smelt like flowers.
" This is an disaster, I knew something would go wrong!" She yelled slightly has she placed me down on the floor and opened one of the toilet's cubicle doors for me. " Go on, take your toilet break then!"
" I'm sorry..." I whispered.
" It's okay Eva, I know it's not your fault sweetie..." She said with a slight smile while she rested her hand on the top of my head. " Go on, hurry up before you wet yourself..."
I quickly hurried inside of the cubicle, my Auntie then partly closed the door behind me and let me tend to my business. When I had finished I flushed the toilet's chain and hurried over to the sink, my Auntie then helped me to wash my hands. We left the restroom after that and walked back over to the cafe's table, but when we got there Light Yagami had gone.
My Uncle A told us that Light Yagami had gotten a important phone call while we were in the restroom, he then had to leave the cafe in a hurry. But he had left a message behind for Nonie, he had written it on a napkin with his phone number on it. She took the napkin from his hand and read the message on it, the expression on face then changed.
My Auntie Nonie didn't look that pleased that Light had gone, she then quickly grabbed her school bag from the back of her chair and hurried towards the entrance of the cafe. My Uncle got up from the chair with sigh and quickly picked me up from the floor, he then followed after his Sister. He told her to control her temper, but she told him to shut up while she took her mobile phone from her school bag.
I watched has my Auntie left the cafe and slammed the door behind her, but my Uncle stopped at the cafe's checkout. He gave the cafe assistant some money and she gave him a white cardboard box, he told me it was some Mochi for my Mummy. We then left the Suzu Cafe and spotted my Auntie Nonie waiting for us near gumball machine, she didn't look very happy at all. My Uncle walked over to her and told her that he was sorry that he had ruined her investigation, she then turned her gaze away from him while she ignored him.
" You're acting like a child, let's act like grown ups and talk about what just happened in the cafe..." He said. " I didn't say anything to Light if that's what you're thinking, we actually had a chat about To-Oh University and the criminal justice studies program..."
" Alright, maybe you did speak with him about those subjects..." She said with a sigh. " But I'm beginning to wonder if you did this on purpose, I know what you can be like sometimes when you're not in the loop..."
" And why would I gate crash your homework date on purpose?" He asked.
" Oh I don't know, maybe you're doing the over protective big Brother thing to scare Light away..." She replied while she took a few steps away from us and crossed her arms. " It was all going so well too, I'm beginning to wonder if you put Ichigo up to this to ruin the homework date..."
" Why would I do that?" He asked with a slight chuckle. "I don't control Ichigo's bladder, she needed to potty. I don't think Watari would appreciate a puddle in the front seat of his car, do you?"
My Auntie Nonie looked at her Brother over should, she then rolled her eyes at him and told him that it didn't matter anymore. She went onto tell him that she hadn't really learnt much about Light Yagami anyway, he seemed like a normal and bright kid who just wanted to follow in his Father's footsteps into the Japanese Police Force. My Uncle A told her alright has he walked over to her, he then gave her the box of Mochi and asked her to carry them for him. My Uncle spoke with his Sister has we made our way back to Watari's car, he wanted to know everything that had happened on her homework date with Light Yagami.
A week had past since the stakeout, I hadn't told anything about it to my Mummy. My Uncle A had told her that we had picked Nonie up from To-Oh University and went to the park before we decided to buy some Mochi from Suzu Café, he had told a few white lies though which was naughty. But I forgave him because my Mummy would have worried about me, so I'm not allowed to go out on anymore stakeouts again.
Today was my Auntie Nonie's day off, she had decided to go shopping in a Japanese supermarket. I had never been in one before since I moved to Japan, so my Auntie asked if I would like to go and visit one with her. I jumped at the chance and my Mummy said it would give her sometime to tidy the apartment while I was out for the morning, she had been falling behind with the housework again.
We had left the Task Force's building by it's main entrance for a change, we then got a taxi to the supermarket which was a twenty minute drive from the building. My Auntie Nonie had brought her purple coloured shopping trolley bag with her, my Uncle A had made fun of her saying it was what old lady's use when they go shopping. My Auntie wasn't amused by his remarks, so she slapped him around the head before we left.
We planned to walk back to the Task Force's building, it was a sunny and warm day. I took hold of my Auntie's hand while we walked into the supermarket, it was nothing like the supermarkets back in England and Los Angeles. It was a big building with many Japanese written signs hanging from the ceiling and dead Octopuses in plastic boxes, but my Auntie said she was more interested in the candy aisle.
My Auntie lead me through the different aisles until we got to the candy section, there was so many different kinds of treats. She grabbed many bags of Kasugai fruit mix gummy candy and Kabaya Jyu-C soda drops, she then placed them all on top of her shopping trolley. She twirled a strand of her wigs hair around her finger has she looked at a packet of Kanro pencil boiled sweets, she always wore her wig now because it was her disguise outside of the Task Force's building.
It wasn't long until she had chosen all the candy she would need for the next few days, she then got a bag of red apples and headed to the nearest checkout. She paid for all of her items of shopping and placed them inside of her shopping trolley, she then took her change from the checkout assistant. We walked over to a quiet part of the supermarket and stopped by rack of newspapers, I then watched my Auntie while she took a apple from her shopping trolley.
" Here you go, this should hold your hunger until we get back home..." She smiled has she gave me an apple. " We'll eat in the kitchen this evening with Watari and your Mom, he could do with some normal company for once..."
" But Uncle A and Ryuzaki eat with Watari at dinner time, they never ask us to join them..." I said.
" I know, that's why I said normal company for once..." She laughed while she fastened up her shopping trolley and then took hold of my hand. " They're weird, but weird in a good way. But for now we should get going, we've got a long walk ahead of us..."
I gave my Auntie Nonie a smile has we left the supermarket, she was right about Ryuzaki being weird. My Uncle A was funny and nice, but Ryuzaki never spoke to anyone other than the people he was working with in the Task Force. He stared at people a lot sometimes and he bossed Watari around like a butler, but he was okay because he was Blaze's Daddy.
It wasn't long until we saw the Task Force's building in the distance, but my legs were beginning to ache and I was getting thirsty. My Auntie Nonie gave me another apple and some fruit jelly sweets to eat, but the sweets had made my hands sticky. So I decided just to eat my apple instead, but before I could take my first bite I noticed something odd on the other side of the street.
I tugged at my Auntie Nonie's hand and pointed to the other side of the street, it was Light Yagami. He wasn't alone either, he was with the clown monster. My Auntie told me not to panic has Light noticed us and gave us a wave, she told me to act normal around them. I asked her if she could see the clown monster with him, she gave me a nod of her head and told me not to worry about the silly clown monster.
" He won't hurt you, he doesn't even know that you can see him..." She said with a kind smile has she looked down at me while we walked together. " Just pretend that he's not there, we can't let on that we have special eyes..."
" Okay, but what is he?" I asked.
" I can't tell you just yet sweetie, but let's just pretend that he's not there for now..." She replied while she turned her gaze towards the street ahead of us. " Do you promise me that you're act normal around them? Just eat your apple and keep your eyes straight ahead, we'll be home before you know it..."
" Okay, I promise..." I replied.
I carried on walking along the street with my Auntie Nonie until Light Yagami caught up with us, he was going to be working with the Japanese Task Force today. I took a bite of my apple has I listened to them chatting about University lessons and the criminal justice studies class, but it wasn't long until I heard the clown monster talking behind us.
" Hey Light, tell the kid to give me a bite of her juicy apple..." He said.
Light ignored the clown monster and continued talking with Nonie, but it wasn't long until the clown monster got whiny. He kept going on about how Light didn't pay any attention to him anymore while they were outside, he then mentioned something about a note book. I hummed a nursery rhyme to myself for a while has I took a look at Light, maybe the clown monster wants one of his school books I thought to myself has I took another bite of my apple.
" Come on Light, I've not had an apple in days!" He whined.
I let out a slight laugh at the tone of the clown monster's voice, he was like a whiny child. I continued to listen to him whining on about apples and how Light didn't pay any attention to him anymore, but without warning Light made eye contact with me. I gasped slightly has I turned my gaze towards the street ahead of me, he must not know that I can see the clown monster whom is following behind us.
It wasn't long until we were walking along the pathway that lead to the main entrance of the Task Force's building, but when we got closer I saw my Uncle A sitting outside of the building on a bench. Has we got closer towards him I could see that he was eating some sandwiches, he must be having his lunch I thought to myself has we stopped next to the bench he was sitting on.
" Hey there short stuff, where have you been?" He asked.
" I went to the supermarket with my Auntie Nonie, they had dead Octopuses in plastic boxes..."I replied.
" That sounds kind of disgusting, did you buy me one?" He asked.
" No, not today..." I replied.
" Well that's a shame, I could have had it for my dinner..." He said with a smile has he turned his attention to his Sister and Light. " You're both wanted upstairs, I know Ryuzaki wants to speak with you about something important. I can't really share the information he wants to discuss with you outside of the building, but I know it's some form of new evidence about the Kira case... "
" Fine, but he better not start going on about the Suzu Cafe again..." She sighed. " I'm sick of him messing in my personal life, he's acting like my Father..."
" Who knows what's going on inside of his head, but I'd hurry if I was you..." He said.
My Auntie Nonie told me to stay with her Brother, she also told me that she would come and visit me later on with her treats. I watched Light walking with her towards the entrance of the building, they then disappeared from my sight when they entered the building. My Uncle told me to sit with him until he had eaten his lunch, I gave him a nod of my head and climbed onto the bench next to him. We then sat together and spoke about my trip to the supermarket, today had been a funny day.
