I am very happy about all the reviews! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and on it goes!
Time Skip
I could tell there was a storm coming in. Tomorrow, maybe the next day, it'd hit.
"Hey Rima," said a groggy voice. "How long have you been up for?"
"I dunno. It was a few hours ago. My brother had just gone to sleep because Watari had run out of cake supplies for him... I think that was around three, maybe four," I told the person.
I turned out that L was adopted by Watari, and he adopted me when we got to Japan, so L was my brother now.
I turned around to face the person. Light Yagami. I laughed to myself, wishing Bambi and Notes were with me. We always laughed at his name. And when we made guys say his last name backwards...
"Hey Rima, snap back to reality," he hissed, waving a hand in front of my face. I couldn't really stand the sight of him. I knew better than anyone that he was Kira. No numbers were above his head.
No numbers… no numbers… no
"Numbers … no numbers," I whispered aloud.
Light's head spun around. "What about no numbers?" he asked, slightly hectic.
"Hunh?" I asked, now back in reality. I was fourteen now. That's when it snapped. It was 2007.
"Light, get me a piece of paper," I said, jumping out of my chair and grabbing my red pen.
He put a piece of paper in the desk and I immediately started writing. I drew a cercal and wrote 2006 in it, then I wrote, on the other end of the page, L 2007 and put that in another cercal. I drew a line between them and then added three dots on the line. I labelled the one closest to L 2007 'Today'. The one closest to 2006 was 'Kira Sleep', and the middle one was 'Kira Reawakening'. I then added the word 'storm' next to the letter L.
That was all I needed to put the pieces together. L's dying week was nearly over. This brewing storm... it wasn't just a storm that was brewing, my mind was racing.
I jumped up, not bothering with the paper, and ran out, into my 'brother's' room. It was one of the rare times I saw him sleeping. As I got closer to him I heard bells, the closer I got, the louder they became.
I covered my ears when I got about ten metres from him. Soon the volume became unbearable, like the time Hannah and I had thrown rocks at church bells when we were standing right underneath. I didn't believe that ear plugs would have helped me.
"Rima?" L asked with shock when he saw me struggling to move.
"Lawli-" I breathed out, collapsing.
I woke to the sound of thunder and heavy rain. I knew these sounds all too well. I started running to the security room, the one where Wammy was, taking my crossbow with me.
I saw Rem enter just as I turned the corner, and I was not happy. I sprinted to the door and knocked it down as Rem was about to write L's name.
I aimed for the notebook and shot, sending the book though the air, pinning it to the wall. I quickly slipped over the ground and burnt the book.
Panting, I stood up and pressed the microphone button.
"L… Rem has killed Watari, and died," I spoke though the microphone.
"Who is this?" asked ex-detective superintendent Yagami.
"It is me Rima Ryuzaki," I spoke solemnly, the words burning in my wind pipe.
"Rima Imoto-chan, please come down here," said another person.
"Of course, L Onii-san," I said back, walking back with my crossbow in hand.
L met me at the doors to the main investigation room.
"Are you alright?" he asked. "What came over you?"
"I... had this gut feeling that something bad was going to happen, so I ran to the room Watari was in, but it was too late. Rem was writing a name, but I didn't want... anyone else to die, so I shot the book and burnt it. And yes, L, I am fine," I explained, L being the only one that would catch the double meaning.
I noticed something, no bells. Now they were something more like wind chimes. They were to calm to me. I had just disrupted the flow if time and changed the course of history.
"We should go back to England and bury him at the orphanage," L decided.
"Yeah, it'll be great to see everyone again," I chimed in. "But we should tell everyone Watari's real name, huh?"
"Wait; Watari's an alias?" Matsuda asked. I mentally face palmed; was he really that thick?!
I knew that I'd have to tell everyone, unless L wanted to tell them.
"We shall tell you his real name at his funeral," L told them, reading my mind. "I recommend getting passports if you do not own one."
I nodded, and pulled out my phone.
'Bambi, we're coming home,' I texted
My phone vibrated a few seconds later, and I read, 'Really?! I'm going to tell the others. Blade has been trying to kill me for the last three years!'
I laughed, but not a normal laugh, a Shinigami laugh. I was shocked. I turned around and saw someone behind me. No, not someone, a Shinigami.
"Ryuk," I said. He looked shocked, but I just smiled.
"Who are you? How can you see me?" he asked.
"Not from this world, and I just can," I smirked.
"You killed Rem, didn't you?"
"Yeah, I know how to kill a Shinigami, other than the 'in-order-to-save-a-human' shit. But I won't tell you, I'm smarter than that!"
I walked away, dialling a number on my phone.
"Moshi moshi, Michael?" I asked.
"Lil? Are you really talking to me?" he asked back.
"Answering a question with a question, how rude," I stated. I knew he could hear the sarcasm and smirk in my voice.
"Ok, it is you. Why are you calling?"
"I'm coming back to Wammy's, but only because Wammy himself has died. But I want you to prepare the... morning area for me," I told him. He knew BB was, is, and always will be, my favourite out of all the Wammy boys. When we were back at school, some people called me BB, because of the similarities I had with him.
"Will do, Lil. See ya soon," with that he hung up. He'd been fifteen now. I still had the crush I had one year ago (or is it in six years? This time travel thing is really confusing!), but I knew I had no chance with him. He always called (or will call) me a guy. He could never like me more than a friend. *goes to emo corner*
I walked back to my room in task force HQ and started packing. I picked up my black dress, the one with the hood. It felt like forever since I had worn this dress, but I, in reality, still hadn't bought it. (GAH! Why is time travel so difficult to talk about?!)
I packed it into my bag, along with some other things. I picked up one of the photos I had on my bedside table. It was of Hannah, Ashley, Liam, Danny, Michael, and I, before we left for camp. We all looked really happy. I picked up the next one, and this one was taken before the last, where you could see Hannah and Ashley holding me back, away from Michael, because he had almost run me over with his bike that morning. Again!
I smiled, dragging my bags downstairs where L was already. He was holding a piece of paper.
"What's that, L?" I asked, bouncing around.
"It is Watari's will," he told me. I leapt forward, pulling the paper out of his hand.
"'I wish for Rima Ryuzaki, my daughter, to go back to Wammy's House after my death to further her education,'" I read aloud.
"Do you want to go back?" L asked. I shook my head, no.
"I want to go back. I need to think about things," I sat down in that comfy squatting position; knees to chest. "You were supposed to die just after Quillsh, and I stopped it. I don't want to mess things up any more than I already have."
