"What the hell?" Matsuda said. "Oh that wasn't you?" I said sarcastically. He laughed at the joke as my face remained emotionless, as always. "It sounded like it came from outside." I said, looking at the door. "Maybe we should go check" I finished my sentence. An idea popped into my head Ryuuzaki and Light. No, it couldn't have been. But- "You don't think it could have been..." Matsuda said, I looked into his eyes and knew he had the same idea as me. We jumped out of the seat and ran to the door. The two sides of the door spilt apart, and behold. Ryuuzaki had his two feet up in front of him, with his butt on the chair. Light was in front of him, apparently just gotten kicked. "You both are so immature." I said in a loud monotone voice as Matsuda and I walked into the room. "Ah. Namiko. So nice of you to join us." Ryuuzaki said returning to his "normal" sitting position. "Yes. Weren't you going to join me in the piano room? I don't recall Matsuda saying he would." I raised an eyebrow at Ryuuzaki. "Oh yes. I'm terribly sorry about that. Light-kun and I just got into a little disagreement that's all." He glared at Light. "I see. I think you two should continue working on the case, instead of fighting. You can join me later on at night as we usual do..." I hesitated to what I was going to say next. "In fact, right now I need to talk to Matsuda... Privately." The task force looked at Matsuda. "Eh?" I heard him say. "Hai." I nodded to him. I slowly turned around while sneaking a whisper in his ear. "You still need to show me how you can make the piano sing." I would also refer to an instrument's sound as their voice, like how we humans. Our instrument alone is our voices. Singing. We walked into the now dark room. The only light was the city and an almost full moon. I didn't bother to reach and turn on the light, I liked it this way. It wasn't so bright that you could see everything in the room but it was just light enough that I could see everywhere that I needed to see.
We sat down where we were the last time, on the piano bench. Matsuda's fingers rested on the keys. His thumb on a high C and pinky on the high A. I was patient, waiting for him to play. He pressed down on the keys, softly at first just in case he were to play a wrong note. The keys rang together in harmony. I closed my eyes thinking of the words inside my head. The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting could it be that we have been this way before? "I know you don't think that I am trying. I know your wearing thin down to the core. But hold your breath, because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again~ don't make me change my mind. Or I won't live to see another day I swear its true." Matsuda sang out. My eyelids popped open. He was on tune and everything. On the side note to that his voice was so smooth. "Because a girl like you is impossible to find. Your impossible to find." My hand flew over his, causing him to stop. He looked up, "I-I'm sorry. I know my singing isn't all that gre-" I cut him off, "No Matsuda. That was perfect." I took my hand off his. "I never you could play piano, or sing so well." He looked down, hair covering his eyes. Matsuda was a shy guy. I repeated played a C major scale on the high keys, while looking at the picture on the piano to fill up the awkward silence between us two. "Namiko, since I played for you... C-Could you play for me?" Matsuda said. I bit down on my tongue, saying nothing I stood up and we switched places. Matsuda sang and played to me. I wanted to return the favor. What was my favorite song on the piano that had words... I placed my hands down on the keys "Hayahge heuryeojin geurimgwa, jiweojindeuthan nae hyanggiga. Nunbushin gureumsoge garyeojyeoyo...Ohh." I sang in my smooth gentle voice. The song was "Holding Back the Tears" By Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK, TVXQ, Tohoshinki) It was just one of my many favorite songs by them. They were a Korean Pop boy band, I suppose you could say. They were made up of five guys. I turned to Matsuda, his eyes closed listening. "I'm holding back the tears. mugeopji anghe, naui maeumeul maego georoyo, gakkapjinahgo meolji anheun gose, dareun naega seo-ittjyo nan ulji anhayo~" I continued on with the the song until I finished. There was a moment of silence. "I'm not much of a singer but," I paused. "That was amazing." Matsuda said. I nodded at him, "Arigato Matsuda." He looked down at the keys. "Your voice." He said softly. I waited for him to continue. I stood up and walked to the window, looking at the city lights. "It's like a voice from the Heaven's. An angels." He blurted out. I've never heard such a compliment made to me. I wasn't sure what to say. "Ah... Thank you, Matsuda." There was another awkward silence between the two of us. "Y-your welcome Namiko. Well, Ryuuzaki and Light-kun should be coming in soon. So I should go and help with the Kira case again. Have a good night, Namiko." Matsuda said as he slowly got up and walked out of the room.
I looked out to the city lights. Even though I have been here long enough it was just like I never got used to how many lights there were in the city. It was so alive. I heard the door slide open and a pair of people walk in, as well as the jingle of a chain. "Hello Ryuuzaki... Light." I said, my back still faced toward them. Truthfully I was a bit upset at Ryuuzaki. I would think he should have told me more things about the Kira case. Especially those pertaining to Watari and our "family". I would have at least expected him to tell me that much. Though, I knew that if I were in Ryuuzaki's position I too would keep a few things to myself, and share them with no one. I suppose I couldn't really blame him at all. The Kira case was just stressful enough. "Gomen (Sorry) I... We, didn't come in earlier. Light and I had a small... Disagreement." Ryuuzaki said as they both walked over to the piano. I nodded, "Mou? (Again?)" I said as I sat down next to them. My fingers rested on the keys, not making any sound. "Hai. Gomennasai. (Yes, I'm sorry.)" Ryuuzaki said softly. "Iie. (No.) Ryuuzaki, it was my fault not yours. If anything I should be the one apologizing. Namiko, Gomennasai." Light said, innocently. I looked at him, "Daijoubu desu yo. (No problem.) I turned to the piano thinking of what song to play. I never took a liking to Light Yagami. Everything that pertained to him being Kira seemed correct. Though he, of course, thought otherwise. Everyone though he was a huge help to the case. Yet, he could also just be a huge distraction. I was always wary when having to work with him or even just at night in the room. I also noticed something about him. Right after we had him and his girlfriend, Misa Amane, in cells. For Two weeks into the confinement criminals started to be killed again. But also their personalities changed. Ryuuzaki was the one to notice that, for I came in this case after he had let them out. They became more... Innocent.
"So, Namiko. What song are you planning to play tonight for us?" Light asked. I looked up from the keys. Since when was Light-kun interested in what song I was going to play. Usually he would just sit quiet on the floor. I thought nothing of it and brushed the from my mind. "Well, I'm not too sure... Any request?" I asked quietly. "Just for You. Piano version." Ryuuzaki requested. I looked down at the keys for a moment thinking, "By Ryu?" I asked turning to Ryuuzaki. "Hai." He nodded. I sighed and turned to the piano. I was getting tired of having to play for two people not including myself. That did sound self-fish. I should be happy that I was with L again. But I couldn't. For I, just like everyone else is some point of their life was being self-fish. Maybe I was just trying to convince myself to that. Whatever the reason, it didn't matter.
I finished the song, leaving both Light and Ryuuzaki with their eyes closed listening to the echo of the music. I stood up from the piano and made my way to the door. "Eh. Namiko, where are you going?" Ryuuzaki asked. I glanced to the clock on the wall, 12:49AM that was still early. For us it was anyway. "I'm sleeping in my room tonight. I'm just not... feeling, the music." I said with my back faced to them. The door slide open. Matsuda and Mogi were on the monitors. "Turning in early for the night Namiko?" Mogi asked. I didn't answer and walked into my room. "What do you thinks wrong?" I could hear Matsuda say to Mogi just as the door closed behind me. I jumped, landing with a thud on my bed. What to do next? I had my whole bad case of insomnia again so I couldn't go to sleep. I stood up to go look out the window. "Where is the ocean?" I wondered out loud. That would probably go towards the top of the list of things that I really missed. Under Matt, Near, and Mello of course. A crack of light filled the room. I took a glance over my shoulder. The silhouette of L shown in the light. "Konichiwa, Ryuuzaki." I mumbled. My back still facing to him. "Dou shita no? (What's wrong?)" He asked, his voice sounded some what softer. "Betsuni. (Nothing.)" I snapped back coldly. He walked in my room. I noticed the chain wasn't attached to him and Light. "Ryuuzaki, the chain-" I said. "It's off. Yes." He said as he walked toward me. "For now, I trust Light Yagami enough to let him go off for just a few minutes. I need to talk to you. And if any criminals die during this time my suspicious would just increase." He said, standing right next to me by now. I nodded. "Hai..." I felt his arm wrap around me, "What's wrong, M?" He asked. I let my head lean against his shoulder. "I'm just... tired, of this Kira case." We stood in silence for a long moment. "I know, I know." He whispered as he pulled me into a hug. "I am too." I buried my face into his chest. "I don't know how you handle this. The whole solving cases, having to deal with stress, the fact you could die any moment. It's just so... chaotic." My voice was muffled by his chest. My arms snaked around his waist. Pulling him closer. I felt him gently stroke my hair. "Hai, it can be... I'm sorry I put you through all this." He said almost in a whisper tone. I looked up at him, "It's not your fault, L." He stopped stroking my hair. "Say what you want, M. I believe that in a way it is." He looked into my eyes. I didn't question him I would just let him say what he needed to say. We stared into each others eyes for a moment. He lowered his head, lips aiming for mine. I tip-toed up one inch and kissed him. We melted into each other so naturally, it was like we were made for each other.
Minutes passed as we stood there caressing each other for minutes. It has been a long time since I was even called M. "It's been awhile huh?" I said. He was puzzled, "Eh?" A crooked smile crawled it's way across my face. "It's been awhile since we've ever been alone together." I lay my head against his chest. "Oh. Yes, it has. Too long, that's why I took off the chain for a moment. For you." He replied back. L could be so sweet at times, while at others he could be serious and cold. The door slid open, with a frantic Matsuda stumbling into the room. "Ryuuzaki! Namiko! I think you should- AH! Ryuuzaki!? Namiko!? I-I had no idea..." His hand flew to the back of his head. "Err." He mumbled unintelligently. L and I slowly split apart. "Sorry for uh... Bothering you two... When you guys were alone... In Namiko's room... Together... Hugging... Being intimate... In the dark..." He managed to say. Oh fun, another awkward moment with Matsuda. "MATSUDA!" I could hear Light yelling from the computers. "Hai! I-I'm sorry. Eh.. Ryuuzaki you should come and see this." He said as he scrambled away to the monitors.
Yotsuba.
