Frappegurl777: This chapter's dramatic. Deal with it.
Chapter 13
A dose of Ambrosia
Ayame's POV
"RYUUZAKI!!!!!!!!"
Ayame screamed. There she remained anchored to the steady large rock while Ryuuzaki's bony body was washed away by the powerful waves. Ayame wanted to swim and grab Ryuuzaki to safety but common sense tells her it would harm her as well. If harm would befall her then who would save Ryuuzaki?
So, she had no other choice. With a heavy heart, she had to wait. That's it, wait. The one thing she's so horrible at.
Minutes passed…
As soon as the whirlpool stopped she vehemently searched for Ryuuzaki. It took her quite some time before she found him. There he was floating on his stomach, like a dead jellyfish next to the gargantuan rocks. She feared that Ryuuzaki must have hit his head.
She cradled his head and checked for any signs of concussion. There weren't. Thank GOD!
Ryuuzaki! Please… Please be alive…
Ayame deeply prayed from the bottom of her heart. The weight of Ryuuzaki wasn't the only one responsible for the heaviness she felt inside. This feeling of immense guilt weighs more than a ton.
She carried him to shore and positioned him flat on his back.
Now. The scary part where she would come to know whether Ryuuzaki was dead or alive. She assessed his breathing and heart beat.
He's not dead.
His breathing was too delicate and almost unobservable.
But he's alive! That's what's important.
Ayame, greatly relieved, recalled joining a conference about Cardiopulmonary resuscitation back when she was a kid. Her father was a doctor who occasionally handles conferences about basic life support. She never thought she'd have to use ancient learning that she was reluctant to pay attention to. She regretted being uninterested in the topic. It was a very important and life-saving lecture and she took it for granted.
Ayame prayed that she would do the procedures right.
Ayame tilted Ryuuzaki's head, pinched his nose and blew on his mouth. Her mouth completely sealed his.
Please…Please…Ryuuzaki, don't die on me!
She continued repeating the process. Two initial blows, thirty compressions on the midsternum nipple line…two rescue breaths, and then repeat five times. Ayame recollected the very words her father said during the lecture. Her father's voice repeated and echoed over and over in her head.
She keep reminding herself that this was a real person she's saving not a dummy. Doing the perfect procedure is needed!
God…Please giveme strength. Dad… please, don't stop talking in my head…Please…Please…
Ryuuzaki…If you die, I'd never forgive myself!!!
Ayame could feel her eyes swell. Tears were formulating at the edges of her eyes, her vision blurred with it.
No… I shouldn't cry…
Finished with the five cycles, she checked again for his pulse and breathing. His pulse was really faint. Though what horrified Ayame the most was the absence of air that was supposed to come out from Ryuuzaki's mouth.
He's breathing…It stopped.
"Ryuuzaki…" Ayame whispered weakly. She struggled to calm herself.
Ayame couldn't hold back the tears now. Tears ran down her pale cheeks and down to her trembling lips and chin. She sobbed and gathered her hands to her face. Her cold, clammy hands held her burning face due to her inevitable weeping.
"Ryuuzaki…"
Through blurry, wet eyes, Ayame looked at the pale and motionless body in front of her. How she regretted inviting him for a swim. It was all her fault. She was a murderer. What will she tell the others? They will surely… never forgive her.
Ayame wiped back the tears using the back of her arm. Looking up to the sky, she punched her arm out into the air.
I'm not giving up! Ryuuzaki! You'll live! And if you don't… I won't stop even if I lost all the air I have…You'll live! You will!!!
Ayame stooped down to give Ryuuzaki, which she hoped was the breath of life.
She continued to blow and pump then blow again.
His lips were cold. Ayame felt them soften and warming as her lips touched Ryuuzaki's. But what she intended to be a rescue breath soon became a kiss. 0.0 (WHAT THE???)
A very light, soft and insubstantial kiss…Ayame did not even realize what she was doing. Maybe it was because of frustration? Of guilt? Of any feelings she had for him… feelings she didn't know of yet?
(FrappeG: What do you think readers? Can't you just tell this woman frankly that she is IN LOVE with L for some unknown reason???!!!! And that she just needed to open her eyes and stop denying what she feels??? ARGH! Even I'm frustrated with her.)
Get up…Get up…GET UP, RYUUAKI!!!! DAMN IT!!!
In retaliation to Ryuuzaki's unresponsive state, Ayame was mad enough to do one hard compression on his chest. This was effective.
Ryuuzaki's eyes protruded and he coughed out sea water. Ryuuzaki turned to his side and braced himself. The cold environment was penetrating on his skin up to his bones.
"RYUUZAKI!!!!"
Ayame shouted in utmost relief and joy. Ryuuzaki, on the other hand, kept on coughing and unable to say a word. When the last cough was made, Ryuuzaki returned to lie on his back and breathe profoundly.
"Ryuuzaki… I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry!! I'll never let you swim again!!!"
"…Ayame…" said Ryuuzaki in a whispery, hoarse voice.
Ayame lowered her head down to get closer to Ryuuzaki's face. His voice is so fragile she could barely hear and understand what he said. "Yes?"
Ryuuzaki's POV
Warmth…Softness…Movement…
Ryuuzaki felt these on his lips. What is this…?
Soon enough, he was starting to enjoy the feeling, craving it like fresh sweet honey. He didn't want it to stop but it did and…
No…Don't stop…What food are you? Name yourself my newly discovered AMBROSIA…Have I died and teleported to Mt. Olympus…? Tell me… I want to know…
Suddenly…
Ryuuzaki felt something heavy pushing his body downward. The strength of it urged Ryuuzaki to open his eyes and spill seawater from his system. Clutching his body closely around him, he coughed several times.
Very painful
The intake of water, the loss of oxygen, it was one of the most painful ways to die. If he'd been down the water longer he would be dead by now. What a near death experience.
Ryuuzaki closed and opened with his half-lidded eyes. The intense cough he emitted made him feel weak. He wanted to rest. He wanted sleep. (Now there's a surprise from an insomniac)
How pleasant it would be to lie in a nice warm bed and get away from the cold breeze and seawaters around him. He had never thought of sleep as something to appreciate until now. He concluded he was getting out of shape. As if his shape was that good…
And…Ayame…Where is she?
Ryuuzaki positioned himself flat. Glad he was to find the face he's so badly wanted to see. Her eyes were wet and her face flustered, it's as if she was crying the whole time. Wait…Was she? Ayame's beautiful blue eyes bore onto him happily.
"…Ayame…"
She bent closer to him; they were almost nose to nose.
Ryuuzaki stared at her lips.
Ambrosia…It couldn't be…Wait a minute!
Ryuuzaki's eyes glowed in alarm as he shifted his vision from all the directions.
The whirlpool, the drowning, it was all coming back to him. Something orange followed then by darkness.
He glared at the sand beneath him. He lost consciousness and was carried to shore. The strength of someone's fist and palms on his chest, the mouth to mouth contact…CPR!!!
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation!
It dawned on him. He looked back at the eyes of his rescuer.
Ayame did it!
Every bit of information dawned on him. His brain wheels turned.
Mouth to mouth Resuscitation…
Ryuuzaki stared ever so intently at Ayame's lips. Again, the image of him and her…CHU! (That's kiss)
The heartbeats and the blushing were back!
In an instant, Ryuuzaki attempted to get up but his head collided with Ayame who has been stooping to look at him closely.
OUCH!!!
ARRGG!!!
That was stupid...
Ryuuzaki thought as his head was spinning due to the the impact. He allowed his head to thump back down to where it had been. PLOP.
Lately, Ryuuzaki's logic has not been logical. LOL. The stupid things Ayame made him do.
Ayame versus Ryuuzaki. For this round and most probably all the other rounds, Ayame knocked Ryuuzaki out. With Ryuuzaki's luck, many other knock out episodes are to be expected. Poor Ryuuzaki.
KNOCK OUT!!! PONG!!PONG!!!PONG!!!PONG!!!PONG!!!
(Can't help it. Drama is not my thing. I felt a sudden urge to make it funny in the end, if that's funny. HA!)
Out of Character
Extra one-shot
Frappegur777: F/FrappeG
Lawliet: L
L: I'm so out of character here.
(L was holding up FrappeG's fanfic prints of 'The curious case of Ryuuga Hideki' using his delicate index finger and thumb. FrappeG was so absorbed surfing the internet next to him nibbling on some French fries. This annoyed L.
L: I'm talking to you, FrappeG.
F: …
(L, growing impatient, peeked at FrappeG's laptop only to find out that she was researching about him on youtube.)
L: Of all the websites you could research about me, you wind up in youtube? You're crazy.
(FrappeG's ear twitched in annoyance to being called 'crazy'. She stood from her seat and grabbed L by his collar.)
F: How dare you call me crazy! I don't care being called a bitch but CRAZY??? I know exactly what I'm doing so don't call me crazy.
(L stared back at her with dark, amused eyes. FrappeG was breathing heavily after yelling at him. )
L: I was complaining about my character here. (L showed her the fanfic printouts)
F: So? Who cares? You're much better being a pervert anyway.
(YOU!!! You stupid author!!)
L: This is injustice!
F: Fwah!!!
(FrappeG let go of him, waved him a dismissal hand and resumed clicking her computer mouse. She scribbled notes on a scratch of paper. L tried to make out her messed up handwriting. This is what was written.)
10 things we love about LOLWLIET(?? Did she purposely write my name like this?)
Good posture (ironic)
Competitive
Know how to treat a lady (Sure?)

(What in the world…? Who posted these things about him in youtube? L thought. FrappeG is definitely out of her mind…Please, somebody stop her before she gets any ideas. Her mind is completely dangerous.)
L: What is your goal FrappeG?
(L interrogated out of random curiosity)
F: Simple. World Domination.
(Maybe I should execute her now while I have the chance...)
Frappegurl777:
L in my fanfic is not his usual self. Of course, his adorable little quirks are still present but he talks differently, acts differently and tends to be NAIVE. This L has been lately spending time with normal people and he gets more perverted and sneaky since he began joining Light's school. So forgive me about the OOCness if that's what you call it. I figured since Death note doesn't exist in my fanfic, L would act differently and be less wary. Plus he gets to interact with a really hot model OC; can you blame him for being that way?
What say you? I would really like to read your reviews on this. This is very important for me.
Is my version of L okay or not?
I made this chapter short, I haven't finished it. I just want to reassure you guys that L ain't dead. Oh, and the kissing thing, that was sudden. Did not really plan to do that in this chapter, it just came up.
There's going to be more cheezy stuff in later chapters.
I'll give you time to review on this. I don't know, a lot of you read this fic but most of you don't review at all. (sniffs) How will I know if it's a good fic or not if you don't?
Little favor. Click the review bar below. Ahahahahahah!!!!! That's the review bar!
