Some interaction will be forming soon. ^^ Enjoy.
Chapter 12: Ashes.
Matsuda rushed his strides a bit, heading into a car he had rented to go on a man hunt for M. Near was kind enough to give him directions to M's whereabouts, and even thought Matsuda felt a bit nervous, he was determined to proceed by any means necessary to get a hold of the bastard.
As Matsuda entered the car, he felt something hard and smoothed at the back of his neck. The feeling was all so familiar. He knew right away it was a gun being pointed at his back. Any sudden moves would mean the end for him.
"Now officer... Let go of the gun your holding. It won't do you any good in this advantage I have over you. So please be smart. Don't waist away the bit of life you have left." The hooded man whispered from the back seat.
Matsuda followed the hooded man's orders, and let go of the grasp he had on his gun. "Who are you? Or will you not tell me?" Asked a nervous Matsuda.
"Me? I am the first M. Not the one you hired. I'm Mello." responded the hooded man. Mello began to laugh dryly at Matsuda's expression on the reflection of the mirror. It was priceless to Mello.
"Mello...? But you just... You can't be here... You died along with Takada Kiyomi." Murmured Matsuda.
"Ah Takada. She's alive as well, just as you see me here breathing, talking, and laughing at you." Mello snickered as his sentenced ended.
Matsuda was at a loss for words, but pulled his composure. "How...?" Matsuda asked, with a daring determination in his voice.
"That Matsu boy; is a story for another day... Now... I'm ordering you to take me to Sayu Yagami. It's not a request, it's an order you little prick. So step on it."
Matsuda refused to move any where. Especially if it meant possibly ruining Sayu's peace. He stayed there sitting, and refusing orders. A mistake he would regret. "Kill me then. Because I won't take you to her." Matsuda replied. Mello gazed at the young police in irritation. He was not going to take this bullshit. Matsuda looked back expecting a bullet to his head, when all of a sudden he felt the pain of the end of the gun hit him hard on his head. Mello sighed, moving the police to the trunk of the car, and locking it. "That's fine Touta... Because I know where she is, and if you ain't going to drive me; in the trunk you go." Mello said with a laugh.
Mello began to drive once he took the front seat.
He knew about how he had a child, thanks to Near for the information. All he needed now was conformation with his own eyes.

The sky was covered by a white layer. The clouds seemed an oddly red shade of blood. The scent of burned corpses filled her surroundings as she saw ashes raining down onto her. She held her hands up... To feel something hot grab her hands back.
A startled Sayu awoke to the sound of fire alarms ringing from a nearby fire truck passing by. She wiped away the sweat on her forehead, and proceeded out of her room. Walking down the steps she heard a knock at the door. The knock sounded impatient, but gentle. For the oddest reason Sayu felt her heart race with every step towards the door of her home. She grabbed the door nob holding it tightly, closing her eyes as thought it was a burning thing she was holding, like a flame playing with her gentle skin. She opened her eyes, and opened the door; ready to greet her visitor. The visitor was not a common person, but a familiar face indeed.
Mello stood before Sayu alive and breathing. He held an UN-opened chocolate bar in his left hand. He was nervous to actually see her again.
Sayu looked alive, more alive then ever. Her hair was longer, her eyes full of knowledge, with the hard working hands of a good mother. She was grown up. Mello could not help but to smile at the girl's face. She was beautiful, those mixed feelings and tears rolling down her cheeks only made her more beautiful in Mello's eyes.
Mello reached for Sayu's hand, in attempt to pull her close, but she flung her arms around the blond, causing his hood to fall back. His hair messy reached to his waist, he was a little more burned then before due to the fire that Takada had set on the church ruins, and his eyes seemed colder then usual, much. But for that moment his eyes softened, as he held Sayu close into his arms. Breathing her scent in.
"I really have waited for this chance to hold you again... How you have grown Sayu Yagami." Whispered Mello into her ear.
"I've waited much longer..." Sayu whispered, sobbing into Mello's shoulder. Mello embraced the girl closer, hoping to never let go.
Hope it's not to sappy for you all, lol. Please Review if you can. TY! *hugs* I'll be turning in now, super tired...
