Thank you AnimePhoenix99! You are so awesome! And yes, this is a double update! Be very happy... and cry
I sat on the plane next to L. This was taking forever. I fell asleep and then I could hear screaming.
"Miss? Miss!" someone called out to me.
"Hng? What?" I asked groggily.
I looked over at the isle. L was lying in it and wasn't moving. I knew we were in London, the plane had landed and I could see London Airport out my window.
"R-Ryuzaki?" I whispered. I wanted to reach out and poke him, but I knew better. When L slept, you did not want to wake him. Even though L didn't sleep much, when he slept, if he gets woken up, he's pissed.
"Miss, he's not breathing," said the stewardess.
At these words, the task force ran over.
"Rima? Are you alright?" asked Light.
I shook my head, some tears escaping. I refused to believe it at that moment, but I knew better than that.
"It's all my fault..." I whispered, my words only audible to myself and Light.
"What do you mean, Rima?" he asked. I knew that on the inside he was having a party with all the chibi Lights, cheering about how L was dead.
I looked at the task force and they looked back. I could tell I had a look that said I wanted to speak to them without Light and they nodded. Matsuda and Mogi walked by my side, almost as if I was going to fall over, but then again, I felt like I would.
"What is it, Rima?" Souichirou asked.
"I know that you, Watari, and L had sent an inter-dimensional message," I said.
"How?" Mogi asked.
"I... I am that person," I confessed. "And now it's all my fault that Lawli is dead."
"Who's 'Lawli'?" Matsu asked.
"That was my nickname for my brother, L Lawliet," I almost sobbed. "Everyone back in my world that knew about Lawliet knew that nickname for him."
I looked back at where L's body was. It was now being taken away. It would be going back to Wammy's House with us. I pulled out my phone and sent an important text to Roger.
'L is dead.'
"We need to go. Roger is awaiting our arrival," I said. I was now void of emotions. Just as L had told me once.
The car ride was difficult for me. The cakes sitting in the fridge. This was Watari's old car. It was always filled with cakes, candies, and ice creams.
I could almost see the ghosting memories of L and I talking and enjoying cake. The scent of the cherries from my cakes and strawberries from his were beginning to overpower my sense of smell.
"Hey, Ri, you ok?" I looked over to Matsuda and smiled very weakly.
"I just feel a little uneasy, since I'm in a car full of so many memories of L and I," I answered. "We are here."
I looked at the big gates of Wammy's House. I finally felt safe.
I walked through the halls of Wammy's while everyone else made perpetrations for the funerals. I could hear yelling. Mello was finding out. I knew what was going on. I leaned against the wall next to the door to Roger's office. This was too easy. I knew everything.
Mello stalked out of the room.
"Mello!" I called out.
"Don't waste your breath, Purity. I already know everything," he snapped as he continued down the halls.
"Mihael!" I yelled.
My blond friend stopped and turned on his heal to look at me.
"Mihael Keehl, birthday 13th of December, turning fifteen, is of German and Russian decent," I recited.
"How?" he asked. His eyes were wide, and even at the distance we were at, I could see the almost fearful look in his blue eyes.
"I'm not from around here..." I whispered.
"I'm leaving, Purity-"
"Lily."
"What?"
"That's my name, Lily."
"I'm leaving, Lily, and I want you to make sure Matt-"
"Mail."
"Ok, make sure Mail is alright."
Before I could say anything, I could see Matt walking around the corner with five other noisy people.
"Mihael, if I could help you to stay alive, would you take it?" I whispered.
"... Yes."
I smiled ever so slightly, making sure my friends wouldn't see it.
"Purity, Blade keeps trying to kill me!"
"Bambi and Duck are dating now!"
"Beast kissed Notes!"
I sighed as I knew what was going on. I'm gone for just over a year, my adoptive brother dies in a plane, and all my friends want to do is gossip or use me as a human shield.
"Ok, Blade, stop trying to kill Bambi. Well done Duck, I always knew that you two would end up together. And crazy people say what?!"
"Them two kissed!" Bambi screamed, pointing at Beast and Notes.
"... Please tell me you video or photographed it," I said, almost begging.
"Even better," Blade said, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Well, what the hell are we waiting for?!" I screamed.
"Ok, ok, someone hasn't had chocolate in a while," Beast said in mock surrender, looking at Notes out the corner of his eye.
"I have, it's just airplane chocolate is shit and L just died at my feet," I corrected, glaring like I did when I was pissed. These guys knew I knew caporia, and knew better than to anger me when that look surfaced.
"Just get it over with! You two have been sucking face for three weeks now!" Matt yelled. I swear, at that moment, my jaw hit the floor.
"THREE FUCKING WEEKS?!" I screamed. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"It was meant to be secret, but Blade here has gossip diarrhoea," Notes hissed. I hugged her.
"Welcome to normal teen speak!" I said before I sobbed into my friend's shoulder.
"Hey, hey, Purity, you'll be ok?" Notes asked.
The bells of Wammy's House rang.
"We need to go," I said in a monotonous voice, pushing my friends away and leading the way to the plots. These plots weren't like the ones at school, where we had our veggies. No, these were grave plots.
I looked down at what I was waring. Black combat boots, black jeans, black tank top, black leather jacket, black leather fingerless gloves. Black. Everything was black. Even the sky was black. The rain poured down from the sky as my tears did from my red eyes. All my friends were standing back, and looking at the task force in a confused manner. I stood over L's grave.
"Hey, Lil," said a quiet voice. I turned around, and hugged the person, expecting it to be Michael, but it was Mello.
"Lily, you'll be fine," he whispered. I looked at us. Two black leather clad geniuses. I refused to think that I could be doing this again for the person in front of me.
"I don't think so, Mihael. I knew he'd die, and I stopped it, and then he dies at my feet! What if I try to help you and you still die?!"
Ok, so looking back on it, maybe having a (slightly quiet) emotional brake down was a bit too teenage girl, but I don't really give a fuck.
The next morning I woke to find at least three kilos of chocolate in my room, along with a note.
I know you'll be able to help me, Lily. Your real name translates to 'The Floral Emblem of Purity' and you being pure means you don't lie. This chocolate is for you, and I want you to help me catch Kira. Not now, but in the future.
Signed, Mihael Keehl.
