Mizuki's POV
I sat in the chair next to L as Aizawa started rattling off the rules of the death note while L was content with stacking several empty coffee creamer cups on top of one another.
Usually I would be bored, listening to music, or with Yuki and Amaya but now...at this moment...I just felt empty. Blank. Like all the life has drained out of me.
"Rem, wasn't it? That's your name, the white thing over there?" L called softly.
"Ryuzaki, isn't it a bit rude to call someone a white thing?" And once again, normally I would laugh at Matsuda's comment but I kept silent on L's left.
"What do you want?" Rem's female voice responded.
At this time I tried to force my body out of the room and upstairs to Yuki and Amaya. I felt like I didn't want to but eventually I crawled my way up to our room.
"Mizuki! Hows it going? Can we activate the plan yet?" Oh yeah, we have a plan in place...almost forgot that...
"Not yet Yuki...Not yet..."
I didn't say anything else for the rest of the day.
The next time I walked downstairs was around the time when Misa started killing again. I was horrified to find out that I walked in on the worst time. The time when Rem realizes that she will kill L with her notebook.
As soon as Rem left the room I silently followed her into a spare room.
"What do you want?" Rem asked as I closed the door.
"You can't kill L. Please don't do it Rem" Rem looked back at me with her yellow cat eyes.
"Why not? If I don't, Misa will die" My violet eyes locked with her's as I growled at her.
"You care about Misa...I care about L the same way. I can't let him die!" Rem hesitated at my words, a flicker of pity flashing through her gaze.
I gathered all of my courage a began what I had been planning ever sense Light regained his memories. "I have a plan that both gets us both what we want. Misa will live and so will L"
"But in your plan this will upset Light. He will stop at nothing to kill him so your efforts will be all for nothing" My hand clenched in determination.
"Do you remember what happened with Higuchi and a man named Taro Matsuda when Matsuda flawlessly faked his death?" Rem nodded.
"This will be the same thing. L will appear to be dead in front of Light, and Misa will not be killed" Rem shook her bony head.
"In the end, Misa will die if I-"
"Misa will die no matter what if you don't listen!" I snapped.
After a moment of shock, Rem replied. "What are you talking about Mizuki Kurozuki?" I flinched at my full name. I haven't even told L my last name, only Mizuki.
"This may sound crazy but...I know what is going to happen at the end of it all. No matter what you do, Light is going to loose. If you trust me and help me then I can save Misa"
"Show me proof"
I took a deep breath. "I know about Jelus and how you met Misa Amane. I know about it all" Rem's eyes widened at the mention of Jelus.
"Alright. I belive you. Now tell me what happens to Misa"
"In the end Light is caught. L and many others die but Light is killed no matter what. Misa commits suicide after his death"
Rem choked out a few indistinguishable words. "A-And if I help you, Misa will live?"
"Yes"
She sighed. "Fine. Now what would you have me do?"
Rain pounded on the roof like drums. L's messy hair was pulled down slightly as he stared at the gray-black sky.
"Mizuki, What are you doing here?" He asked as I walked up to him in the rain.
"I came to tell you something..." I muttered.
L sighed. "Before you explain... I must ask you something"
I leaned closer to hear him clearer. The words he said after nearly killed me.
"Can't you hear it? Can't you hear the bell?" I heard a *snap* inside me. It was as if the barrier I had barricaded my heart with years ago when my father died, shattered into pieces.
I couldn't stop the silent tear to trickle and mix with the raindrops.
With a small prayer, I lifted a shaking hand and drew back the ebony curtain of hair from my ears. As nothing could be heard I was about to sigh in relief until...
*BONG* *BONG!*
I could hear it.
Though it was so soft, so quiet it may have been a whisper. I still heard it.
I heard the bell...
"Y-Yes... I can hear it" More tears kept streaming down my face, still unable to notice the salty tears from the freezing rain.
"Good. It has become quite distracting as of lately. I'm glad you can hear it too. Perhaps it's a church, maybe a wedding or..."
"A funeral" I stated firmly. L turned to look at me, depressed.
Just like the tears, I couldn't hold myself back from tightly gripping L's shoulder.
"Mizuki?" As L asked that question I let out my voice in shaky intervals.
"L...I need to tell you my plan for saving you" L was clearly surprised that I actually had a plan for saving him. "I just...I need you to trust me"
"Mizuki...You're the only one in the world I trust" L kissed me softly on the lips.
After he kissed me I led him back inside to the steps where L and Light were supposed to have that scene...(Ugg yaoi gag me)
"Ok now...Rem you can come out now" Said Shinigami stepped out of the corner and I fixed my violet gaze on the two.
"Heres the plan..."
The screens went white, the lights went red,
and so did Light's eyes.
"Data deletion? What the hell's going on!?" Aizawa's outraged cry filled the Silence.
L sat firmly on his chair. "I told Watari...To make sure to erase all information... in the event that something were to happen to him"
"If something were to happen...could it be?" Matsuda muttered.
"Where is the Shinigami!?" L's calm voice was riddled with fear in more ways than one.
"I-I don't see it!"
"Everyone! The Shiniga-"
Illuminated...by the red glow of the emergency lights, the falling spoon seemed to be a beacon of a falling rose petal. The way that L fell off of his chair was just as slow in real life as it was in the anime...
But I was faster.
Just as L hit the floor I caught L at the last second instead of Light. My violet eyes were wide and terrified. L was dying silently, honorably, not pathetically begging like Light will be.
He reached a fidgeting hand to my ebony trestles that were now drenched in wet tears.
Every minute passing L's eyes closed more...and more...and more...
until they shut.
"L...Hey...come on L...w-wake up!" My shaking voice was quiet in the Silence of the room.
"What happened...what's going on?" The task force's scared tones was all that was said.
Until I screamed.
It was a blood-curling scream of pain and loss. Tears ran down my cheeks like a waterfall. Only after my lungs felt like they were on fire did I try speaking.
"L WAKE UP YOU DUMBASS! WAKE UP!" I uselessly shook the body in my arms that was still warm.
"T-Touka...Calm down, let's just find out what happened" Light offered me a fake sign of sadness.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM! L! L WAKE UP! PLEASE! DAMN IT PLEASE WAKE UP L! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU L! YOU CAN'T GO NOW! L! L!"
"LAWLIET!"
There was nothing.
Not a sound.
A pin could be heard in the Silence.
"L-Lawliet?" Matsuda stuttered with me.
"Lawliet...please...don't leave me alone again" My voice was desperate. But in a matter of seconds My lips were on his, my salty tears filled the gaps of air.
"I'm so sorry..."
"Ryuzaki...We've gathered here for your private funeral. The public has no idea you've gone. We will make it appear as if you're still alive. This is not over yet. We will work with policeman from around the world. I swear to you. We will catch Kira and avenge you...So you may rest in peace" Soichiro's words were empty for I felt nothing at all, nothing out of the ordinary.
As I stood with a formal black dress and shawl, draped across my shoulders I felt normal, in fact I was tempted to play a song from my IPhone.
Yuki was gripping my arm so tight I felt like I would loose circulation. Yuki wore a black blouse and a grey frilly vest, along with her own black jeans. Amaya was silent like me, wearing a black dress that had long sleeves and black leggings.
I felt like we were all going to some parade...a Black Parade...
That gives me an idea.
I reached inside the dress pocket to reveal my onyx IPod. All of the task force looked at me as if I was crazy.
"F-For those of you who don't know...I love writing music...I was going to show this new song to L on the night he died...He told me he was looking forward to it...I want him to hear it...please..." Everyone nodded eagerly.
"I-It's called...The Black Parade..." I clicked the play button and let the device fall on the ground above L's coffin.
The My Chemical Romance piano opening gave me some comfort as the lyrics began to play.
As the funeral related words encompassed the dark corner of the cemetery I could feel my fists clenching at the song that hit close to my heart.
Matsuda was full-out crying now, at the devastating lyrics.
"I-I didn't know you wrote music Touka..." Soichiro stuttered.
"Yeah. I do...I've been writing this one for about three months...I never thought it would fit so well with this..." Light was stunned at the gorgeous song.
"I think L would appreciate it Touka..." Like I care what you think, bastard.
As Everyone left, and Light departed as well, Yuki, Amaya, and I were all standing around the grave.
When we heard a voice from behind a tree.
"That was a lovely song, Mizuki" I sprinted into a hug as I gripped L tightly.
"It worked! I can't believe it worked!" Yuki did a cry of victory from beside me.
"I'm glad you liked it L" I kissed L on the lips. When we broke apart I turned to see the shocked faces of Yuki and Amaya.
"Wow Mizuki! Took you long enough!" Yuki burst out laughing while Amaya came and whispered something into my ear.
"I approve"
I giggled a bit before hugging L once again.
"So...Did you write that song for me Mizuki?" L lifted his thumb to his lips thoughtfully.
"No. It's just a song that was made in our world. I still wanted to play it though... Because that's what this is, isn't it?" I pecked his cheek.
"A Black Parade"
