Chapter 17 - Thier Return

Chanel was lying on a park bench. She stared at the clouds as they passed. Chanel was taking a break from it all. L, the cases, and all the hard work without any fresh air or sunlight. Chanel had noticed that her skin was almost as pale as Ryuuzaki's, which was her main reason for being outside.

It has been three years since she and Ryuuzaki has left Whammy's and started solving cases. They had solved each case that has come thier way. There was no case that could trump them. Now L was the figure head of everything. He came up with using his name, L, as to present them. He did this because he believed that no one would believe that L was actually his real name. There fore it would be one way they would be protected. The other ways that they were protected consisted of the fact that when ever presenting them selves they would use a laptop with a cloister black L on the screne.

They also used a synthetic voice, that Chanel made three years ago, whenever speaking with authorities. Ryuuzaki did all the talking, Chanel just stood quiet. This was all done to protect them from assisnation. Watari also took such percautions. He was the one that made all the connections to have them solve these cases. Watari would always cloack himself in a trench coat and large hat. So no one would recognize him. He was obviously a great inventor and was known by many. So these precautions were more than nessary.

Thier current location was Tokyo, Japan. Chanel liked Tokyo. They had just finshed solving a mass murder case. Chanel was fed up with murder cases. She felt that the more cases that they took on, that consisted with murder, became more and more gruesome with the deaths of the victims. Also with how many victims there were. Thier recent case happened to be the most gruesome. With this particular case there had been five victims.

The first victim was first strangled and then imbombed. The next victim was hacked to death. When the body was discovered it was found that the eyes had been removed. All this was sickening and the condition of the victim's bodies where worse as the murders went on. Now the third had the liver, stomach, and both kidneys removed. It was proven that the victim was still alive and awake during the disection. The fourth victim was never really determined on whether or not they were killed by this Japanese jack the ripper. Though it was presumed with how the body was left.

The last victim was left in one of the worst conditions of them all. The victim was imbombed and decapetated. The victim's head was found on the shelf and the victims brain had been removed. All these victims were were women. After looking up records of the victims it was found that all these victims were blood type B. Now This was no coincidence. Ryuuzaki had realized that what these victims had in common was not the fact of there sex or blood type. It was the fact that thier medical doctor was the same person. Ryuuzaki had Chanel check these women's records. Ryuuzaki's theory had been correct. These women had all gone to a private clinic run by a medical professional, Kinichi Yomato.

Yomato was taken in for questioning. Oddly he admitted to the murders. Chanel was a bit puzzled by this. Though a few days later after his trial he had said many disturbing things to the media. So that proved more than enough to Chanel. That he simply didn't care and was completely and absolultly insane. So after that Chanel was more than fed up with muder cases.

Then Chanel sat up from the bench. She ran a hand through her hair. "I wonder what time it is", she thought. Then Chanel glanced over at a mother and her children, on the opposite bench. The woman had two children. One was a boy. He had light brown hair and eyes, and was about nine. He was reading an article from the newspaper. The other child was a young girl with dark brown hair and eyes. She was playing with a ball. Chanel read the names of the children. The girl's read Sayu Yagami. Then Chanel read the boy's. "Moon Yagami", she thought. "No wait it's spelled as moon but is pronounced light. Light Yagami, what a beautiful name." Then Chanel had gotten up and walked over to the woman.

"Excuse me ma`am, do you know what the time is?" "Oh it's two thirty", the woman said lokking at her watch. "Thank you", Chanel said walking off. The boy light had continued to read the article, ignoring Chanel. "All this murder. It's completely sickening", the boy thought. "I wish I could do something about it."

Chanel had walked into the suite. When she came in she noticed that Ryuuzaki was all packed up and waiting for her. "Well come on go get your things", he said. Chanel mentally sighed. "Great another case", she thought. Then headed to her room and retrieved her luggage. Chanel never bothered to unpack anymore considering that she and Ryuuzaki solved cases within a matter of months. Afterwards Chanel and Ryuuzaki were out of the suite, had given the key back to the reseptionist at the front desk and had met Watari at the car.

Watari put in both Chanel and Ryuuzaki's luggage in the trunk. All three had gotten into the car and drove off. Chanel then turned to Ryuuzaki. "Hey Zaki where are we going next", she asked. Ryuuzaki didn't bother to look at her and all he said was; "We're going back." Then he went into deep thought. Chanel just stared at him. "I wonder what he means by that", Chanel thought.

Chanel and Ryuuzaki had finally made thier way to thier next destination. Chanel's butt was hurting her. The long flight took a tole on her. "Man. you think I'd be used to this by now", Chanel thought. Then Chanel followed Ryuuzaki outside as Watari went to go get the limo. Then Chanel looked around. She still couldn't figure out where exactly they were, but she knew she recognized this from somewhere. Then she overheard some people speaking a distance away from them. She noticed that these people had british accents. Not only that but she heard what one of them said. "I'm so glad to be back in Winchester. It feels like it's been forever", the man said.

Chanel's heart began to race fast. "That's right we're in Winchester", she thought. "So does that mean we're going back to Whammy's house, but why? For what purpose? If we do in fact return to Whammy's that would mean...big brother... Would he be mad at me for leaving and not saying so, or giving him a goodbye? Or would he embrace me and be happy that I've returned only caring for my safe return?" All these thought's had consumed Chanel's mind. To the point where she didn't notice that Watari had retrieved the car and was ready for them. "Chanel the cars here, let's go", Ryuuzaki said. His voice startled Chanel and she jumped slightly.

"Right", she said. Then followed Ryuuzaki into the car. "Is everything alright Chanel", Ryuuzaki asked. "Hmm? Oh everythings fine", she said trying to reasure him, though the sound of her voice was giving her away. "Um Zaki?" "Yes", he answered. "Um...are we... returning to Whammy's house", she asked nervously. "Actually we are", he said nonchalontly. "..Oh..", she said quietly. Chanel stared out the window. Her heart began racing faster and faster as they became closer to Whammy's. Not too long after she noticed that the Whammy's house was just done the block. She felt that she was going to through up her heart. Seconds later they were in front of the Whammy's house. Chanel stepped out of the car and stood in front of the gate of the Whammy's house.

Chanel grabbed her chest. "I wonder..is this what it's like to have a heart attack", Chanel thought. Then Ryuuzaki put his hand on her shoulder. Chanel jumped and gasped by his touch. Ryuuzaki suddenly removed his hand. "Chanel is everything alright", he asked concerned. Chanel swallowed hard. "Y- yeah", she said grabbing her chest. "Alright let's go in then", he said. Both Chanel and Ryuuzaki made they're way past the gate and was headed towards the building. Chanel was hesitant. Then before Chanel knew it they were standing in front of the doors of the Whammy's. Ryuuzaki ran the bell and minutes later Rojer, Whammy's/ Watari's assistant opened the door for them. "Come in', he said in his regular bitter old tone.

They both entered. Ryuuzaki headed for his old room and Chanel went to hers to see if she could find her bother. In no time at all she was standing in front of her old bedroom. "Lind...", she thought. Then Chanel brought out most of her will to knock on the door. In a matter of minutes the door was opening. Chanel felt faint. Then as the door was opened fully she saw who was standing in front of her. It was not her brother but a young girl her age. "Yeah what is it", she said rudely. Chanel was shocked. "Oh I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you would happen to know a boy. His name is Lind Tailor." "What Lind Tailor? Never heard of him", the girl said. "I see. He's an orphan here. Do you think you would know anyone who does in fact know him", Chanel said. "Well the only one I can think of if is that old fart Rojer. Though I would try to look for this Tailor guy yourself. That old farts a pain in the ass." "I see. Thank you", Chanel said.

'Your welcome", the girl said. Then closed the door. "Never heard of him", Chanel thought. "That's strange. Oh well I guess I'll look for him myself." Chanel looked all over the place for him. In the kitchen, dining area, playroom, library, outside, and even behind the mansion near the woods. After searching everywhere for him she decided to ask Rojer. So she went to his office and knocked on the door. "Come in", he said. Chanel stepped into his office. "Oh it's you? What do you want", he asked clearly irritated. No surprise though. Rojer did in fact hate children. "Sorry to bother you Rojer. I was wondering if you might know where my brother is. You know my brother. His name is Lind L. Tailor." Then Rojer looked surprised at hearing the name. "Yes I know your brother", he said narrowing his eyes. "Well could you tell me where he is", she asked. 'I've look practically everywhere." Then Rojer sighed. After a long a pause he answered.

"Your brother is gone."
