I squinted my eyes. Why was it cold? Oh, yeah. It's the middle of winter. It hurt every time I tried to move. What happened before I blacked out? Let's see... I was watching Misa Amane, but they figured it out... Nah, that was too long ago. ... Mello figured out that Near and Kira were going to meet face-to-face. He thought of a plan of how to confirm who Kira was, which was his way of how to beat Near. Kidnap Takada, that was it. ... I distracted the media and security while Mello kidnapped Takada himself. I had the Japanese police force pursuit me. They got me cornered, and... Wait, I forgot something. ... Someone was there... Ugh... Who was it? It was right on the tip of my tongue.
"...s oka....tt, Mo...s goi...to ta...us to ... hospital..." Who was talking? It sounded like that person that was there... I forced open my eyes. As soon as I did, a snowflake fell on my eyeball. I blinked a couple of times. Things were a bit blurry, like my hearing. I saw the snow falling from the sky. I looked at my right shoulder. There was a tear in my shoulder. Oh, yeah. I got shot. I remember that part. In all of the cold, I felt a source of heat from somewhere. I looked over at the source. A figure sat there, looking at the ground. As my vision got clearer, I saw her face.
"... Sayu..." I murmured. She looked at me, surprised. Her eyes were red, as though she has been crying.
"...! Matt!" she gasped. (How did she hear my name? Oh, yeah. Maybe I mentioned it when she was hiding away in my car.) Suddenly, she put her arms around me and hugged me tightly while exclaiming, "I'm so glad you're okay!" I winced in pain. She had muscles! "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" she apologized as she began to let go. However, I brought all of my strength to hug her back. I didn't let go.
"No," I muttered, "don't apologize." Hugging Sayu was... nice. "... Its been a while since someone's hugged me like this..." I admitted.
"...Matt?" Sayu asked, confusion in her voice.
"... Sorry," I said as I let go of her. I remembered the pain that I was in, so I just kept breathing deeply. "Dammit, just when I need a smoke..." I joked.
"I called my mom," Sayu stated. "She's going to take us to the hospital when she gets here. I don't think the police would put up a wanted poster or anything at the hospital, so you should be alright." I suddenly noticed blood on her pants. It definitely wasn't mine.
"What about you?" I asked her. She instantly knew that I was talking about her leg.
"Oh..." she began. "I'll be fine. I got hit in the calf, so I should be fine."
"You got shot?" I asked. "Damn... I'm sorry. I didn't even expect them to shoot me to begin with. I should've planned more ahead-"
"It's alright," Sayu interupted me. "It was my fault to begin with for camping out in your car." She laughed and gave the cutest smile that I have ever seen. Then, I began to ask a stupid question.
"Hey..." I began. "Can you... hug me again?" Sayu raised her eyebrow. "It's kinda cold out here, and I need some kind of heat. Besides, you aren't even wearing a coat to begin with, so we can both benefit."
"Oh," Sayu said as she understand. "Okay, then..." She slowly and a bit hesitantly put her arms around me again. It wasn't that tight this time, so I could tell that she wasn't trying to hurt me.
"So, you've been crying?" I asked her.
"Um... Well, yeah, I guess," Sayu answered. "I wasn't sure if you were going to wake up or not... I even thought you were dead..." I stared at her chocolate hair for a minute.
"During that last second before I blacked out," I said, "I thought I was gonna die myself. I guess... I got lucky..."
"Yeah," Sayu said, "I think so too..." Her voice sounded like she was absolutely sure. "Hey, Matt?" she suddenly said. I turned my head slightly so that I could look at her. My nose was buried in her hair. It smelled nice. "In the afternoon... you said you were sorry. What were you sorry for?" I tried thinking about what she was talking about, but then I remembered.
"Hey... Sorry..."
"...F-for what?"
"... Nothing."
I snorted slightly, saying, "Usually when someone says nothing, they mean nothing."
"But I could tell that you were covering it up!!" Sayu exclaimed as she sat up. She began to let go of me, but I threw my arms up and wrapped them over her neck. Ouch, pain.
"Okay, okay!" I said. I looked at her in the eyes. I almost forgot what I was talking about for a second.
"... Your eyes are blue..." Sayu breathed. I thought she was getting lost in my eyes as I got lost in hers.
I smirked, saying, "If you don't want me to tell you, then that's alri---"
"No, tell me!" Sayu begged. I hugged her tighter, despite my injuries, so her head was right next to mine.
"I'm sorry for ruining your life." Sayu turned her head to look at me with confused eyes. I looked back at her with sorrowful eyes.
"... It's not your fault-" Sayu began, but I interupted.
"I heard about how you ended up in a state of shock. I heard about your father, Chief Director Yagami. I'm sorry that your life was ruined this way, and if I could do anything to change it, then--"
"It's not your fault," Sayu repeated. She put her arms around me, which silenced me. "What was the past, was the past." After a moment, she continued, "You know, when I first saw you, that's when I was knocked out of my state of shock. My mom actually sounded so happy when she heard my voice on the phone. So, even through all of today's events... You may have made my life better... even though it almost ended yours..." It wasn't my fault...? Just hearing that from her lifted a heavy weight from my shoulders. About two minutes have passed.
"You know..." I muttered into her ear, "... you're kinda cute, for a sincere girl." I felt more heat radiate from her cheeks. I smirked. I turned my head to face her face. "Thanks," I said. I pulled her in and placed my lips on her smooth, glossy lips. Sayu froze for about a second, but then her head leaned in a bit. About ten seconds later, I pulled back to look into her eyes again as a car pulled up.

Yeah, I know. It kinda sucked. xD Oh wells...
