Chapter 34: Dust and Memories.
As dark as it seemed, on a day like this, it looked like the greedy sky did not want to bother sharing the rain with the planet Earth.
Sayu gazed at the darkness that the window revealed of outside, and slowly closed the curtain. Maria was in the backyard playing and chatting up her usual storms with Abel and Larry. That alone kept Mello's thought of mind busy, his adorable daughter with two boys...
It was amusing to see Mello like that, a busy father keeping track of his daughter. You could not see the expression on Mello's face, but you can tell he was brooding against the backyard window. Watching like a typical dad would do. It made Sayu giggle to herself, and that got his side glance attention. He din't step away from the window, but he looked at his child's mother curiously. Trying to figure out what was so damn funny at a time like this. Mello had come to visit his daughter, even thought he found himself tired today. He could not sleep last night, because all that kept running through his head was Sayu's angry protest about being old enough to make her own choices, which was true and all, but he was here now, away from the Mafia, and he only wanted the best for her, yet he knew he was wrong too for it. In reality they we're far from a couple. They we're not even married... He had to try and work for what he desired. To be with her and his daughter, but a few things kept stuck in the way from moving on... Sayu's safety, his promise to Terr, Near, and Sayu's sudden interest in Matt. Mello sighed at this, rubbing his forehead in agony.
Sayu quickly took notice of this, and made herself confront Mello personally. She approached Mello, putting the broom to the side from her cleaning.
"Why are you so frustrated right now Mello? Is everything going on stressing you...?" Sayu asked. Leaning against the wall next to him, awaiting for an answer.
Mello looked her way. He debated whether love should be brought up into this situation at the moment. With all this violence they we're going through, that he decided to retreat those feelings, and talk about something else.
"I'm not frustrated Sayu..." Mello lied.
"Then why are you looking like you are?" Sayu continued asking.
"Nothing, nothing... You should be worried more about those scars you received from that fall on the road. You know; I know someone who could clear those up for you. The guy I'm currently helping." Mello said.
Sayu gazed at Mello for awhile before catching on. She had been told about Terr, and all that is currently going on right now by Mello himself. He himself called her last night. Not able to sleep, and wanting to reveal the truth to her. She really appreciate that from Mello last night. She no longer had to look forward to unwanted arguments to further find out why she was being targeted. She knew he told her everything. How Rat wanted to kill her to get his revenge on her for no apparent reason, how Terr was secretly pretending to help Rat, when in reality he only wanted to get closer to uncover where his father hid dormant. How Terr really wanted to end his father's sick amusement by putting a bullet through his skull; avenging his mother's murder at the hands of both Rat and Seur; Terr's father. Most importantly; how her brother was back as a Shinigami wanting to restart his rule around the world as Kira again... Sayu was grateful to all the information. To no longer be lied to any further.
"Terr you mean?" Sayu made sure by questioning.
"Yes." Mello confirmed.
"You know, I'm pretty okay with these scars. It reminds me of how I'm still here. Alive." Sayu Responded again.
"He specialize in fixing ones appearance; literately restoring them to what they we're. He was able to fix up quite a lot of burns on KIyomi Takada with his practice in restoration and surgery. You should really think about it. I don't want you looking like me; a scarecrow..." Mello suggested.
Sayu looked a Mello a little puzzled. Looking at him all over.
"What...?" Mello questioned.
"Mihael Keehel... You look nothing like a scarecrow." Sayu replied.
"I do too. Don't try to pity me... I despise pity." Mello complained.
"It's not pity. It's my opinion." Sayu laughed. Causing Mello to feel upset by her come back.
Sayu got closer, kissing Mello on the cheek.
"But if you insist on being convinced you are a scarecrow, then your the cutest one I ever laid eyes on." Sayu complimented. Making a timid Mello blush in annoyance. Making Sayu further tease him through out the day, and laugh at him. He was truly amusing. The day was full of sweet laughter. Despite the gloomy day.
No longer at the other end did the other poor sap keep being blind. Matsuda now too knew everything. He was now giving his help as well to the investigation of Kira once again. He sat there near the window with the clear view of the front of the building that he and Matt we're in. He was polishing the gun he had shot Light with. Promising he would never take that one gun out, but something made him take it out. He did not know why, but here it was, it traveled with him in his captivity. He was starting to believe it was cursed. Since nothing tremendous has happened to him in a while till he took that gun out again from his hidden place. He knew the thing was cursed, as stupid as it sounded to him.
"So, we're you the one that shot Light Yagami? Causing him to bleed to death?" Matt asked in the other side of the room, taking a smoke near the opposite window; kicking little ashes with his middle finger as he question Matsuda curiously.
"I don't see it as any concern to you, but I won't be a jerk and withhold that from you, as you constantly did with me." Matsuda said, trying to sound mature. Making Matt twitch in annoyance by this cocky cop, and his smart ass reply.
"Well?" Matt asked, ignoring Matsuda's remark.
"I did. That's in the past thought. I have to get over it thought. It's been bugging me for years, and it's time I dropped it off into a basement to collect dust." Matsuda answered.
"Nice. Sounds like a plan..." Matt said, offering Matsuda a cigarette, only getting a rejection back from him that he did not want to smoke, making Matt shrug, and say to himself; fine, more for me; ha ha...
Seur was no longer in his writing mood at the moment. He had stopped, and was now with his head down on the desk. His hand prompt up; flipping a hour glass over, and over again. Never giving the sand any time to truly reach it's last limit of grains left to complete the minutes it needed too.
Kiyomi held her face up by the palm of her hand, still watching him from the maroon couch in concern.
He turned around to look Takada's way, making her drift her gaze somewhere else.
"You may leave Kiyomi Takada. I won't be writing your name. Your free to go." Smiled Seur.
Takada looked back at Seur. Not sure whether to take this guy serious or not. She did not want to be fooled into getting killed.
"My son is coming here for you soon. I know it. I know it because I told him of our location. In fact, I'll leave, you can stay and wait here for his arrival. Relinquish owner ship of this death note book. Now." Seur said, honesty in his voice.
Takada looked at the note book; questioning him further with her gaze.
"But if you do that, then what will you fend with. Sayu has two death note books, her daughter has another, and Near has the last one you left behind...?" Takada questioned in suspicion.
"I no longer need it. And I never gave up the one I instructed Creston to give to the child named Maria Yagami. The little girl is simply holding on to it for me; without realizing it. So go on. Tell the Shinigami here; Kira, or Light as you know him to take back the notebook, and leave." Said Seur.
"But I never had ownership... Rat did." Takada answered back. Feeling rather nervous.
"So he lied to me... Very well. Give it to our Kira here. So that Rat can get it back. I'm fine with that." Seur proceeded saying while walking towards his exit.
Leaving a shocked Takada behind.
She did as she was told thought, giving it to Light's now Shinigami hand. Taking it, he said his goodbye to Takada, taking flight through the night sky. Making the curtains flutter around her. She was free... Just like that. Just as Terr promised her. Taking off as fast as she could, she left the hotel. Calling Terr in her cell phone. Happily awaiting his answer.
"Takada? I'm coming for you! Where are you?!" I'm over by the location your heading to; the exact one your father told you of. Outside the hotel. Please come get me..." Takada pleaded.
"I'm coming, don't worry; stay there." Terr answered. Making Takada feel relieved. She hanged up; and awaited his arrival. Wiping away the tears that managed to come down half way over her cheeks. The words that day she desired to here from Light; she heard from another. That day she was destined to die, was nothing but a warning, a warning to not fall for the wrong guy again. Instead to fall for the right one, and never to be stupid again. She looked away from her high heels, looking up to the familiar car coming her way, from it stepped out none other then T. Walking swiftly towards her. Grabbing both of her hands. Looking at her face.
"I told you that you'd be alright. Din't I?" Asked a now smiling Terr. Who abruptly got startled by a sudden hug, as Takada now embraced him, instead of running away from him.
"I... I don't know what to say to you... Other then to tell you that you are late!" Takada said; trying to hide the love she felt for the man who stood there loyal to her; regardless of her being his and the others prisoner.
"Hey... I promised you; din't I? I was on your side all along, and you assisted me through all that pressure." Smiled Terr further, but he quickly was surprised by something else; her sudden touch; her lips against his; as he to gave in quickly; tightening his arms around her waist, as she to held him close from his shoulders. Not pulling apart for a minute.
Making Near on the other end; from the small camera attached to Terr's car, look away, pretending his attention was all along on his toys when in reality, he was looking at Linda's blushing face; as she stared at the screen in awe.
"You know Mello, now is a good time to show you some photos I have here in this album of Maria's. Would you like to look at them?" Sayu asked.
As a now curious Mello sat; taking interest in her offer. Making Sayu smile, and bring some mugs full of warm chocolate milk. Making the blond smile her direction as he awaited her to take a seat next to him.
Hope you've enjoyed. I wanted to write a nice relaxing Chapter this time, before things got serious. Please R&R, it makes me feel motivated to write on. Plz & TY! ^_^
