Chapter 27: Several Thoughts.

Several days had passed. Sayu Yagami was not sure of how many days exactly; especially when all she could concentrate was on the pulsing pain in her head she would be feeling whenever she'd waked up; on and off. Distant voices eventually within time would fill in the room, day by day. As more visitors arrived. Especially those she did not want to see. "Thank God she was to weak to receive anyone at the moment." She had thought to herself, but eventually she would have to face the music, and all she wanted right now was her sweet daughter's embrace. That to would have to wait thought... Because now it was a matter of waken up, which was pretty hard at the moment. Considering that little stunt was not really sensitive, but very realistic. Falling into a deep sleep again, only others left to fight over decisions...

Mello paced back and fourth. Trying all the while to not strangle any of the Task Force members for not being more careful in the situation that had already passed. Whenever Mello took side glances; and saw they're pathetic faces; all he wanted to do was re-arrange them; so they'd fit to his liking. Gevanni kept a stern look before speaking up in the tense atmosphere.

"I know this was all reckless... but it was her decision to go along with this. No one can make choices for her, but herself." Gevanni assured to everyone.

"In case you have not noticed Gevanni... but Sayu's life was put on stake here. And your trying to tell me that what she did here was right?! Was acceptable?!" Mello raised his voice in anger. Matt all the while not wanting Mello to start War World 3 here. In the hospital of all places.

"It was still her choice. And if you have anything to say; I can further say that she is not a child. Need I remind you all." Gevanni confirmed.

Mello felt a knot form in his hand. As he began to grip at nothing but oxygen. Deliberately stumbling his body onto Gevanni; holding tightly at Gevanni's collard shirt; shoving him against the wall with force.

"What are you now...? Her keeper?" Mello asked aggressively. Gevanni kept is composure as cool as possible. His eyes never leaving the piercing blue ocean before him. The waves angry; and swaying.

"Mel... Come on. Let go of him. You know we won't resolve anything with force. Try to calm yourself. Please." Matt requested. Making Mello glance at the red head; letting go slowly of Gevanni.

The waiting room was strangely deserted, in that floor they we're in, and all that was heard now was approaching foot steps. Foot steps of several people now. Mello took some air in, because he knew if he'd turn around; he'd see the one thing he despised with his soul. Gevanni was in front of him; so there was no surprise who would be there behind them. Showing up eventually... L. Or as Mello knew him best; Near...

"I see your as violent, and exaggerating as always Mello. You never surprise me you know." Near said. Accompanied by both the SPK, and Linda.

At that moment all Matt wanted was to close his eyes; and wish it all away. He wanted this to be nothing but a dream. A nightmare. It was nothing but wishful thinking thought. Matt only looked at the albino; who had no regret at what he had just said. Making Matt look at Linda instead; who had the same wish; like Matt; spread all over her delicate face. Matt took some air in as well. Wishing instead they we're all in the beach instead. Him sipping a nice cold ice tea. Enjoying the rays of the sunlight, playing Pac Man on his laptop... Sayu beside him ready to hug him, while Mello deliberately smashing his chocolate ice cream into his face. Matt hated being outside, but he'd rather make an exception. Near getting laid sounded like a good plan as well. Maybe that would cool him down; from smart ass of the year, maybe by Linda, but alas... Matt started to wonder if he was high or something. Thinking all these random thoughts at once... Vulgar thoughts indeed, but better then this situation right now...

Interruption soon found a place to settle thought; as Aizawa to spoke up for Sayu Yagami.

"Near. I know you must be enjoying your game right now, and Mello; I know rivalry is not an easy topic around you, but can we take this time to put our differences aside, and work together this time instead? It makes things much more simple. I'm not ordering here. Just a request. A request in behalf of Sayu. I too; like all of you have no say in her choices. Instead we turn selfish; and think we can handle it all, but how can we? How can we? When we're at each others throats..." Aizawa suggested.

Near looked for a moment in thought. Agreeing to Aizawa's good intentions. Only to look Mello in the face for a response. Clarification of some sort from the opposite side. Matt hoping all would just collide better.

...

Awoken from slumber land. Sayu felt a sting of anger form. Looking at her lap; for the signs of whatever woke her up; she saw the all to familiar notebook. There beside her stood the red eye'd Shinigami. Looking her way; tempting her of further actions.

"Go on... Write they're names down. They're making choices for you. As thought you where a chess piece. Go on." Spoke the Shinigami in a sing song like voice. Filled with joy, and ready for suspense.

Goodnight people. *hugs* ... *.*
