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 :)
Chatper 17!
Another few days had past since my Mummy passed away, I still wasn't sure what was going on. I had not seen my Uncle A since he broke the news to me, I had been living with my Auntie Nonie in her apartment with Alyssa. Watari came and went throughout the days, he was making sure we had everything we would need until my Uncle came back to visit us.
My Aunt Nonie told me that her Brother was busy with the Kira case, she said he wanted to take his mind of things and pull himself together before he came back to live with us. But I was worried about him, I missed him very much and I just wanted to see him again. I think my Auntie even missed him, but I knew she was also angry because she was not allowed to do any police work at the moment.
My Auntie Nonie was trying her best to look after us, she bathed and cooked meals for us. Her cooking wasn't very good though, she sometime burnt or under cooked the food. So we ate salads and pots of noodles most days for our meals, I was kind of getting sick of her cooking though. But today was like any other day, we spent the day watching television and keeping her apartment tidy.
It was now getting late, I had to be in bed by 7pm because that was my set time my Mummy always put me to bed. I had my bath with Alyssa and then I got changed into my pajamas, I also had to clean my teeth for five minutes before I slept. I was still sharing a bed with my Auntie, she planned to bring my bed to her bedroom at some point and some of my belongings. I had been living in my pajamas for days now, all of my clothes were in my bedroom still in my apartment.
My Auntie Nonie put Alyssa down for the night and I was allowed to watch television until I fell asleep, she said she had a few things to do tonight so she wouldn't be joining me until later. She had left the lamp on for me and put a random movie on, it was in Japanese though. I just lay there in the bed and stared at the television set, it was quite boring when I didn't understand what the people in the movie were saying.
I turned my gaze towards the door of the bedroom when I heard a gently knock on the door, to my surprise it was my Uncle A. He gave me slight smile has he entered the room, I quickly sat up in the bed and watched him. He walked over to Alyssa's travel basket and checked on her, he told me to not say anything yet because he wanted to make sure Alyssa was fine before he spoke with me.
I gave him a nod of my head and continued to watch him, it wasn't long until he was sitting down next to me on the bed. He gave me a hug and told me that he was sorry, he said he had a lot on his mind right now. I told him it was okay and that I had missed him, he said he missed me too. He tucked me up in the bed after a while and told me that he had to go to see Watari before he went back to work, but he mentioned to me that he had checked up on us when we were sleeping.
" Will you come back to see me tomorrow?" I asked.
" Of course I will, I promise I'll try my best to be around some more for you and your Sister..." He replied with a sigh. " But I've got a lot to do, so be patient with me. I need to start sorting some funeral arrangements for your Mum, we need to say our goodbyes to her soon. I think we will be flying back to England in the next few days, but I will let you know before it happens..."
" I don't want to say goodbye to Mummy, I want her to come home..." I said.
" I know sweetheart, I want her to come back home too..." He sighed while he brushed my fringe away from my eyes. " But we've got to be strong, she wouldn't want us to be sad. She would want us to remember the good times we all had together, I've still got many stories to tell you yet about your Mum..."
" Can I hear the stories tonight?" I asked.
" Not tonight, it's getting late and you're meant to be asleep..." He replied.
" Okay, I will go to sleep now..." I said while I rolled over onto my side and tucked my hand underneath my pillow. " Uncle A, do you think Mummy's butterflies are okay?"
" Her butterflies?" He asked.
" Yes, they fluttered away when she went to heaven..." I replied.
" These butterflies you speak of now and again, what do they look like?" He asked.
" Don't know, they just flutter in different lights of colour above people's heads..." I replied.
" I see, but I bet they're just fine..." He said with a slight smile has he gently rested his hand on my arm. " I think I know where the butterflies go now, do you want me to tell you about where they go?"
" Yes please..." I replied.
" I believe that the butterflies go to a secret garden, it's hidden far away from the world and all the cruelty that it holds. A place full of light above the stars, no darkness can reach them..." He said with a soft sigh. " It's just pure happiness and light, no more fear or pain can touch them..."
" Can I visit the garden?" I asked.
" Not until you're very old, I don't plan on letting you go anywhere just yet..." He replied before he kissed my cheek. " But hush now short stuff, go to sleep and dream about that garden for me..."
" Okay..." I nodded.
My Uncle A kissed my cheek again and told me to have sweet dreams, he said he would come back tomorrow. He got up from the bed and left the room, I then heard him talking to my Auntie Nonie from the living room of the apartment. I pulled my hand from underneath my pillow and smiled when I saw my messy haired doll, I had been keeping him underneath my pillow at bedtime. I kissed his face and told him goodnight, I then placed him back underneath my pillow before I went to sleep.
Three days had past and we were going back to England today, but it felt strange because my Mummy wasn't here to help me pack my suitcase. All of her clothes were still left hanging in the wardrobe and her perfume still remained on her dressing table, it felt very strange being back in our apartment again without her around. I was unsure what they were going to do with all of my Mummy's belongings, but my Auntie Nonie said she would sort them all out for me when she returns back to Japan after my Mummy's funeral.
My Uncle A packed his sports bag, but he told my Auntie to pack some of Alyssa's clothes in my suitcase. I didn't really want to share my suitcase with her, but I didn't have any other choice since she didn't have a suitcase of her own. After we had packed Watari came to collect our luggage with Matsuda, we were going to be using Ryuzaki's private jet for our flight to England.
Watari was going to drive us to Tokyo Haneda Airport, but before he left our apartment he gave my Uncle a brown folder. He told him to take his time reading it, but my Uncle insisted that he would read it before he left our apartment. My Uncle A told us to go and start making our way down to the underground car park, he said he would catch up with us.
" Okay, did you remember to get your passports from the cabinet in your bedroom?" Asked Nonie.
" Yeah, they're in my sports bag..." He replied.
" Are you sure?" Asked Nonie.
" Yeah, I checked my bag twice..." He replied while he sat down on the sofa chair near the window and opened the folder. " Watari even checked for me, he's sorting out the airplane tickets for us. I won't be long, you guys just walk ahead and I'll catch up with you in no time..."
" Okay, let's go then Ichigo..." Said Nonie.
My Auntie Nonie hung Alyssa's baby bag over her shoulder and took Alyssa from her basket, she then told me not to forget my backpack. I took one last look around the apartment while I put my backpack on, it felt strange leaving this place since it was like my home now. There were still photographs of my Mummy and family around the apartment, but I would be back in Japan before I knew it.
I left the apartment with my Auntie and Alyssa, we then began making our way down the many flights of stairs which lead to the underground car park of the building. We must have been on the forth floor when I asked if we could stop for a moment, my legs were tired and I wanted a drink of my juice. My Auntie told me to be quick, she said we had to be at Tokyo Haneda Airport by 3pm.
I gave her a nod of my head and took my juice bottle from my coat's pocket, I then took a few gulps of it. I turned my gaze towards the end of the corridor when I noticed someone leaving a room, it was the Light Yagami man. He stopped dead when he noticed us at the other end of the corridor, he gave us a kind smile before he started walking over towards us. I saw a flash of darkness swoop behind him, it was the clown monster.
I gasped slightly and hid behind my Auntie Nonie, but I peeked my head from around her so I could keep an eye on the monster. It was funny looking with it's yellow eyes and it's creepy smile, I then heard my Auntie telling me to remain calm. I gave her a nod of my head and stepped from behind her, I just hope it doesn't come near me I thought. Light stopped in front of Nonie and said hello to her before he looked down at me, he then put his hands in his trouser pockets.
" It will be sad to see you leave Ichigo, I am truly sorry to hear about your Mother..." Said Light while he bowed his head at me. " It was a shock to us all, she was a very polite and sweet woman. Her presence will be missed, I wish I got to know her better..."
" Thank you for your condolences, but we've got a plane to catch..." Said Nonie.
" Of course, have a safe journey..." Smiled Light has he turned his gaze to Nonie and then to me once again. " Goodbye Ichigo, hopefully I will see you again..."
I gave Light a smile while I screwed my lid back onto my bottle, I then watched him turned away from us and walk back along the corridor where he had come from not long ago with the clown monster. But without warning my Uncle A bolted down the stairs, he didn't looked very happy. My Auntie Nonie tried to ask him what was wrong with him, but he hurried past us and went after Light.
" You!" He yelled.
I watched has he grabbed hold of Light's arm, he roughly turned him around to face him and yelled at him. I watched in horror has my Uncle A punched Light in the face, I had never seen him hit anyone before which scared me. Light banged into the wall before he fell to the ground, but my Uncle dragged him up from the ground by his arm and then pushed him hard up against the wall. The clown monster was laughing, it thought it was funny that Light had been punched in the face.
" Akira, stop that at once!" Yelled Nonie.
I listened has my Uncle shouted at Light, he asked him why did he take Emiko. Light didn't answer his question, he just stood there and stared at my Uncle with a look of shock on his face. I was beginning to feel scared now, I had never seen my Uncle so angry before in all of my life. My Auntie Nonie couldn't do anything to stop them, she was holding Alyssa and I was too little to stop them from fighting.
" Akira, please calm down right now!" Yelled Nonie. " Don't do this in front of Ichigo and Alyssa, you're scaring them both!"
My Uncle A looked at us over his shoulder, his eyes were still full of rage. But he loosened his grip on Light's jacket and stepped away from him. He stood there and stared at Light, he then asked him how he did it. Light told him that he had no idea what he was talking about, he told him that he was sorry for his loss and he hoped that he would be able to find peace within his grief.
" Akira, we need to go..." Said Nonie. " Watari will be waiting for us, we shouldn't keep him waiting..."
" Emiko's coroner report just came back today, she died of an heart attack..." He said.
" What?!" Asked Nonie.
" You heard me right, this piece of shit took my Elizabeth away from me..." He replied in a calmer tone while he turned his gaze towards us. " You know what Ryuzaki thinks of Light Yagami, he suspects that he's Kira. We all do in secret, you know it's true! He took Beyond and now Elizabeth, I won't allow him to take anyone else while I'm still breathing..."
" What a predicament you've gotten yourself into Light..." Chuckled the clown monster.
" Akira, you can't go around throwing allegations at random people..." Said Nonie. " Yes I know what Ryuzaki thinks of Light Yagami, but there is no proof supporting that theory. Just back away from him and come with us, we've got a flight to catch in a few hours time..."
" I don't care, this needs to be settled right now!" He said.
My Uncle A turned his gaze back towards Light, he still looked very angry. They both just stood there and stared at each other, they reminded me of cowboys having a showdown in a film. The clown monster kept saying things to Light, he kept asking him if he would like the Shinigami eyes. He said he would be able to put an end to Akira if he made the trade, but Light ignore him and kept his gaze on my Uncle.
I stared at the clown monster and watched his every move, but I jumped slightly when his gaze turned towards me. He let out a horrible laugh, it reminded me of the laugh the orange man sometimes did when he was being mean. The clown monster tilted his head to one side and said hello to me, but my Auntie Nonie pulled me closer towards her before I could even said hello back to it.
My attention was drawn to the elevator of the forth floor, it made a pinning sound has the elevator's door slid open. I watched has Watari walked out of the elevator with Ryuzaki following not far behind him, I had no idea why they were here. Watari walked past us and joined my Uncle's side, but Ryuzaki stopped next to Nonie. He had his hands in his jean pockets and he stood in his strange way, he seemed very interested in what was going on in the corridor right now.
" Ryuzaki, what are you doing here?" He asked.
" I was informed by Mogi that there was a situation unfolding on this floor, yet I wonder why you have been driven to violence..." Replied Ryuzaki has he brought his finger tip to his lips. " Akira, I understand that the last few days have been hard on you and your family. But I always believed that violence is not the key to solving the problem, the mind is the greatest weapon that any man can possess..."
" Not today Ryuzaki, I don't need one of your talks..." He said.
" By law you have committed a crime, yet I understand that grief has taken your mind..." Said Ryuzaki. " But remember that Justice will prevail, there is no escape for the criminals of the world..."
" He's right, you've just got to be patient..." Said Nonie.
" Trust you to take his side..." He said.
" Akira, the only side I'm on right now is your children's side..." Said Nonie with a sigh. " They've both been through enough already and they've lost Emiko, don't be an asshole in front of them..."
My Uncle A turned his gaze towards Ryuzaki, he then asked him if the conversation they had a few hours ago had been settle with Mr Ruvie in England. Ryuzaki gave him a nod of his head, he then told him that all he had to do was make the phone call before he returned back to Japan. He reassured him that his wishes would be accepted, he said he knew that the pieces would all fall into place before he returned.
Watari placed his hand on my Uncle's shoulder, he then told him that he would take us to Tokyo Haneda Airport now. My Uncle gave him a nod of his head and told us to use the elevator this time, he said he didn't have the energy to use the stairs right now. My Auntie Nonie told me to follow her, she then allowed me to press the button for the elevator. I did has I was told and it wasn't long before the elevator's door slid open, we then hurried inside and my Uncle A joined us with Watari. But before the elevator's door closed my Uncle stopped the door with his hand, he peeked his head around the door and told Light Yagami that he was coming back for him.
