Chapter 16 - The promise
Chanel was sitting upside down on the couch. She was in the living room area of the suite. Ryuuzaki was also in the room. He was seated in front of a laptop, and other important equipment that Chanel couldn't identify. Now Chanel was upset with Ryuuzaki. The reason was because he refused to allow her to help with the case, and he wouldn't tell her why. Chanel felt so frustrated, and useless at the moment. "Zaki", she whined. "No Chanel", Ryuuzaki said not looking up from the laptop. "Please. I know I could be of help", she tried. "No", he insisted. "Isn't ther anything I can do?"
Ryuuzaki paused from his typing. "Actaully there is something you can do", he said. "What is it', Chanel asked getting up. "Could you get me another piece of cake", Ryuuzaki said continueing his typing. Chanel felt like kicking Ryuuzaki at that moment, but she tried to control her anger. She got up and walked to the kitchenette. She cut a piece of cake from the box that was on the counter, and put it on a plate. Then she walked over to Ryuuzaki and placed it next to him. She then took the dirty plate and washed it in the sink of the kitchenette.
Then she went over to the front door of the suite and opened it. "Where are you going", Ryuuzaki asked not looking up from the laptop. "I'm just going out to the hallway." "Alright just don't disturb the other guests", he said. Chanel narrowed her eyes at him. Then she went out into the hall. She walked down the hall. "Why does lawliet insist on not letting me help with the case? There should be no reason for it. I have always contributed greatly to our past cases", she thought. "The only thing I could think of is that he doesn't trust me. No that can't be it. Though that's the only explination for it." "Ugh Zaki you idiot! Why don't you trust me", she shouted unknowingly.
Then a door opened right next to Chanel. Chanel looked over and saw that watari was standing in the doorway. "Oh hi Mr..I mean Watari", She said kind of shocked. "Chanel what are you doing shouting in the hall", he asked. "Uh. Well you see Zaki is refusing my help. So I became bored with doing nothing and wondered into the hall", she explained. "I see but why did you shout that he didn't trust you?" "Well I can't tell you out here I'm sure you can guess why", Chanel said. "Yes your right. Come in and we can discuss it", Watari said. "Alright", Chanel said walking into Watari's suite.
Chanel saw that it wasn't too different from hers and Ryuuzaki's. Chanel took a seat on the couch. She noticed that there was also equipment in watari's room. "Would you like some tea", Watari offered. "Yes please." Then Watari poured tea into a cup and handed it to Chanel. "Thank you", she said then sipped the tea. "Now tell me. Why do you think Ryuuzaki doesn't trust you", he asked then sipped his tea. "Well he won't tell me anything about the case, or even let me help. So I don't know what else to think except that he doesn't fully trust me", she said with a sigh. "I'm sure that's not the case. Ryuuzaki trusts you more than anyone." "Yeah maybe, but what other reason could there be?" Watari sighed. "This case is more personal to him than any other he faced or will ever face", he said. "In what way", she asked clearly interested.
"He doesn't wish me to tell you." Chanel put her head down in disapointment. "Though I will say this. This particular case is important to him and he must accomplish it on his own. So please don't take what he does personal." "Yes I understand", Chanel said. Then she turned her attention to the pile of equipment in the room. She stared at it for a moment then walked over to it all. She examined it with her eyes. "Can you name everything there", Watari asked. "No not really", she responded. Then continued to examine it. "Watari I was wondering if you could teach me what everything is, and how it works. I would really like to know. Besides it would give me something to do and I love to learn new things. So what do you say? Will you teach me?" Watari stared at her for a moment. "Alright", he said getting up and walking over to her. "Now where shall we begin..."
Chanel was on the floor, of the suite, working on an asignment that Watari gave her. During the 2 months that Ryuuzaki had been working on the case, Chanel had become Watari's apprentice. She wanted to learn everything he knew about technology. He had taught her many things and gave her particular asignments. The one he had given her for this specific day was to disasemble a device that he had given her. Then after she was done to build a synthetic voice on the laptop he gave her. Chanel had finished diasembling and was now starting on resembling. Chanel was trying to remember exactly how to put it back together, but was having some difficulty.
Then she heard Ryuuzaki take a deep breath in. Then he said something that made her turn to him quickly. He said; "I finally got you. You disgusting bastard." Chanel stared at him for awhile. Ryuuzaki stared at the laptop and then closed it. Then he glanced at Chanel. "I'm going to take a shower", he said and then walked into the bathroom. Ryuuzaki turned on the water and then stripped his clothes. He got into the shower and let the water hit his face. Then he put his head down. "Mom, Dad I finally avenged your death. Now I wish I can put this all behind me." He sighed. "Mom, Dad." Then Ryuuzaki began to cry a little.
Chanel stepped away from the door. She had been listening in on Ryuuzaki. "So this case was about him capturing Ronald Owen. I should've known when Watari said it was personal to him. "Lawliet", she whispered. She walked over and sat on the couch. She watched the door for 10 minutes until Ryuuzaki finally stepped out of the bathroom. He came out with just a towel around his waist and his hair dripping wet. Chanel ran to him and hugged him tight. Ryuuzaki was surprised. "Chanel.." "Lawliet stop it", she said. "What", he asked. "Stop trying to deal with everything on your own! You don't need to anymore! I'm here. You can lean on me whenever you need to. So please just stop." Chanel hugged him tightly. Ryuuzaki put his hand on her her head.
"Yes your right. I'll try", he said. "No you will. Not try", she said. Ryuuzaki smiled at her. "Yes", he said. Ryuuzaki wasn't surprised that she knew his name. She was second at the Wammys so he didn't think twice on it. Though of course her being at the Wammys had nothing to do with her knowing his name. "Zaki why don't you get dressed. Then we can go out and do something together. "Alright", he said then walked into the room and went to go get dressed. "Chanel has helped me through most of my problems. Though I wish I could help her with her own someday."
