'S-Shinigami eyes' Light and Hanna thought.
Mother ran down the steps a moist towel in hand. Light held me as my mother wiped at my face trying to remove the blood. I had my eyes closed and was trying to grab the towel she was frantically rubbing against my face. My fingers were wet and sticky with blood and I could hear her frantic breaths. My eyes slowly began to feel sensitive to the light and I clenched them as tight as I could.
"M-Mom, the lights"
"Could you turn the lights off please Light-san?" she asked Light. I felt his arms slip away and the lights in the hall go off. I opened my eyes, everything tinted red and glowing red numbers floating above their heads. I clawed at my cheeks and whimpered. 'This isn't suppose to happen, I wasn't suppose to get the shinigami eyes, I was suppose to stop Light, save Light, save L, save Misa and Rem and Raye and his fiancé Naomi and Mello and Matt.'
' oh god how did this happen' mother pulled my hands away from my cheeks which burned and my stomach swiveled.
"Hanna-chan? What's going on Yukimura-sama?" My mother looked at my eyes in concern, examining the now red sclera, pools of red were gathering in the corner of my eyes, showing that the blood was still welling up. I stared back up at her, appearance darker due to the veil of red and numbers glowing like traffic lights. She glanced over at Light, the hall was barely illuminated by the light from the living room.
"Hana-chan has very sensitive eyes Light-kun. We thought she was getting better but…." She trailed off turning back to me. I stared at the numbers, nine plus six is fifteen plus seventeen is thirty-two plus nine is forty-one plus twenty-eight is sixty-nine plus thirty-eight is one-hundred and seven.
'her death even adds up to a prime.' I pushed the damp towel into my eyes and cried against her breast.
Light stared at the scene before him, Yukimura-sama was tall for a Japanese women and Hana-chan didn't need to kneel or bend to cry into the towel on her chest. He was curious as to how she got the shinigami eyes.
'IF she has them" But the startled look on her face when she looked at him made him think she did and if she did….what then?
Light helped Hana up the stairs as her mother went to rinse off the towel. When he walked into her room….clocks.
Clocks were lined on the wall opposite her bed in one row, thirteen clocks, all ticking at the same time like one entity. Not one lagged behind and not one was ahead of the other, it was almost eerie how they resounded in the room. He sat her down on the bed and leaned close to her face, hands on her shoulders. He needed to know, needed to know if she had the shinigami eyes.
"Can you see me Hana-chan? How does everything look? Anything abnormal?" his voice sounded sincere with concern but she knew what he was trying to find out, she wouldn't let him get the chance to use her not like he did with Misa or Takada or Mikami.
"I-It's just red, everything is red. I'm fine Light, really" I gave him a weak smile, stomach acid bubbling and sloshing heavily against my ribcage. Something dark crossed his eyes and red tears trickled down my face. I brought a hand up to the side of his face. He looked surprised but leaned against it and brought a hand to hold it firmly to my face.
"P-promise me Light, that you'll always be good. Always be the Light I first knew." He looked at me with genuine confusion, brows furrowed in contemplation.
"What are you getting at Hana-chan?" before I could respond my mother came in with a now pink towel that once was white. Her look of worry turned to one of knowing and she squeezed the towel excitedly.
"I knew you two were together! But really to make goo-goo eyes at a time like this?" I whipped my hand away from light and pointed accusingly at my mom.
"Don't jump to conclusions!" she whined about keeping secrets from mommy and safe sex, at that Light turned pink in the face and started choking on air. He had now dry blood on the side of his cheek and my mother wiped it away scolding me for not being careful. She now took to wiping at my face and hands, dotting at me as if I was a baby. It was nice really, I didn't have a mom as a child and it was comforting to be cared about so tenderly. She tsked at my red eyes and sclera and said she would call the doctor first thing tomorrow morning. Light told her he'd be going now and showed himself to the door. I rinsed my face in the sink, my sclera slowly returning to their white color. My eyes had returned back to the rich purple and I bit my lip anxiously and squinted, my stomach clenching in uncertainty. They suddenly flashed red and my world was red again, my original name above my head but the numbers that were meant to be under it lay unseen.
I gasped in surprise and everything went back to normal. Freaky. I sighed and started to run the bath, pulling out my phone and pocket watch from my pockets. I unhooked the pocket watch and clicked it open 9:35. Nine plus three is twelve plus five is seventeen. The numbers line up and lie down so why can't my life be that easy to add up?
I groaned and stripped out of my cloths and put them in the dirty cloths hamper. I slowly lowered myself into the scalding water. My hair was tied up on the top of my head, keeping it away from water but not from frizz because of the steam in the air. I lowered myself in the tub until my chest was underwater, my legs poked up out of the water and I could see the scars criss-crossing one thigh that were slowly but surely fading away, melting into the skin and would soon vanish. Just life my old life did and is now nothing but a distant memory. I sighed tiredly and dozed off.

I was home one day relaxing on the couch when I saw it on television.
"We'd like to apologize for the interruption as of now we're bringing a life worldwide broadcast of Interpol's ICPU"
Ohmysoul please be still.
"We bring you live to the ICPU" my head swam and my vision turned red. I jumped up and practically hit my head on the television as I got close to it. It burned my eyes mercilessly but I had to see, had to be sure what I was seeing was real.
"I had up an international police task force which includes all member nations. I Am Lind L. Taylor, otherwise known as L." His eyes closed in dramatization.
"Criminals around the world are being murdered by a serial killer. I consider this crime to be the most atrocious act of murder in history. I will not rest until the person or persons responsible are brought to justice. Kira I will hunt you down, I will find you"
I wonder if L himself wrote these lines for him to say…questions,questions.
"Kira, I've got a pretty good idea of what your motivation might be and I can guess what you hope to achieve here. However, what you're doing right now is evil."
And I think this is the part where Light was all like "You think….I'm evil?" yes Light. Yes you are, so sorry for your mother bro and then he starts freaking out and throws chairs and pencils and shit.
And then Taylor smiled(creepy as fucking smile dude . Gosh) then after a silence that felt like hours Taylor shook, clenching his chest and gasping in pain before falling to the table in a dead heap. He was now nothing but a sack of meat and bones and flesh and organs that would soon be carried off somewhere to decay were no one can smell his stench or be burned to a crisp. I just knew Light was getting his evil laugh on right about now, cheeky bastard.
I perked up as a gothic L filled the screen with a white background. Yay.
"huh I had to test this just in case but I never actually happen. Kira, it seems you can kill people without having to be there in person. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't just witnessed it. Listen to me kira, if you did indeed kill Lind L. Taylor, the man you just saw die on television. I should tell you that he was an inmate. His execution was scheduled today. That was not me."
And then Light is just piss face mad right now because L is so boss.
"The police arrested him in absolute secrecy so you wouldn't have heard about him on TV or through the internet. It appears that not even you have access to information about these types of criminals. But I assure you L is real. I do exist. Now, try to kill me!"
Damn it L don't encourage him. Jeez.
"What's wrong? Hurry up! Come on, right now!" And then he fucking continued to rub it in Light's face like it wasn't a thing but a chicken wing! The urge to flip my coffee table in frustration was so hard; I had to settle for burying my head in cold hard wood floor and repeatedly bang my fist against it.
"Can't you do it?... well kira, it seems you can't kill me after all" aaaaannnnndddd cue Ryuk's creepy laugh.
"So there are some people you can't kill. You've given me a useful hint. I better return the favor, ill tell you something you'll find interesting. All though this was announced a worldwide broadcast( and then right fucking here I accidently press fast forward and have to watch the whole fucking scene over again because I fail at life. GOSH.) The truth is we are only broadcasting in the Kanto region of Japan. I had planned to broadcast this message around the world until we found you but it looks like that won't be necessary. I now know where you are. The police trialed your first killing as an unrelated incident but in actuality the first of your victims was a suspect in Shinjuku. Of all the criminals that recently died of heart attacks this crime was by far the least serious."
"Furthermore this crime was only ever reported inside Japan. I used that information to deduce this much. You are in Japan and your first victim was little more than an experiment which means that you haven't been killing for very long. we decided to broadcast ( and then I rewind by fucking accident and have to watch it over AGAIN god damn it all!) in Kanto first because of its large population and luckily we found you, to be completely honest with you I never expected things to go this well but it won't be too long now before I am able to sentence you to death"
My heart stopped right there, I was sitting on my hands and knees in front of the TV now but at that I sunk to my stomach and rolled on my back, starring at the ceiling. 'that's right….in the end…Light…..he"
"Naturally I am very interest to know how you are able to commit these murders without being present but I don't mind waiting a little bit longer, you can answer all my questions when I capture you. Let's meet again soon, Kira."
And then the TV showed static and the darkness in the room felt like it was devouring me, my only salvation the light it emitted. I just knew right now they were saying "I am justice!" And just to feel like I was a part of it I said it too. My vision slowly ebbed pink and then became normal. I coughed and thick liquid that tasted of copper coated my mouth. I sighed, lungs rumbling with liquid.
I needed to come up with a plan and take my medicine.
the struggle for me is so real my friend. I would have had this chapter up for ya yesterday Shadow-chan but I had to get a new phone and then I ended being out all day because my dad is mental and we needed to get some Chinese for dinner . But point being I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. –hugs you tightly- I went through the struggle for you bro ! you my homie for real ! and I admit towards the end I got a little carried away so there is cussing and it is such a struggle for me to not write too many curse words because I quite frankly have a sailor mouth.
-shame-
Now I'm off to make me some breakfast. Thank you Shadow-chan and Alex-Kurotani for reviewing ! and a special thank you Shadow-chan for reviewing my story A Angry Angel. But sadly it most likely won't be continued. If you want it you can have it but the Angel in it is A from my story Apples and the last chapter has some notes you might need if you want it.
