Here's Chapter 38, the last... _ Bye Bye...
Chapter 38: Mother.
Sayu left her house, looking around the yard for Maria, but she was nowhere in sight. Just like in the house. Nowhere to be found. Sayu then proceeded into Rose's home. Asking for her child, not there either. At this point it was panic when she called Larry and Abel; and they too had no clue. A mother who ends up desperate, ends up doing anything to successfully guarantee her child's safety.
Sayu called her daughter a couple of times, but no response. Going back into the house desperate for any clues; being in a state of investigator mode as she done in the past; she found on the table a drawing her daughter drew of a church. Looking behind the paper she saw a neatly cursive written note to her, from someone named Seur. It was telling her that he had her daughter, in Winchester, England, The Wammy House. Quickly taking off without a second thought; Sayu raced ahead to arrive there, and save her daughter at all cost.
The notebook of death still dormant in her purse.
...
The chapel's bells we're ringing, as Seur was now writing names down of the Wammy children. His revenge now would go towards the Legacy of L, and Watari's fortune invested on this place. Before he could continue writing, Seur was directed with a shot through his wrist. Gasping in pain he saw it was his own son; T.
"Your game stops here Seur. You think I'd let you walk away to continue with this? Trope the notebook. Now!" Terr yelled towards his father.
"Do you really expect me to do that son? I've only got a couple of the orphans names written down, I need a couple more, and then Roger last. That also includes you, me, Near, Mello, and Matt." Seur said; as if it we're nothing.
"And I bet I'm included into this as well huh?!" Asked Rat frantically pointing his gun towards Seur's back.
"What are you doing brother? Surely your not thinking of shooting me right?" Asked a calm Seur.
"I was an orphan here too! Am I being included in your ongoing slaughter?!" Rat yelled now; furious.
Terr had his gun still raised in case of anything. He began to breath a bit heavily. He was dying to pull the trigger, but was surrounded by his comrades; Mello, Matt, and the rest of the SPK with Near as well.
Aizawa looked as he saw the view in front of Terr.
"Drop your gun Rat! You and Seur are both under arrest!" Aizawa yelled.
Mochi gave Aizawa a silent sign thought that they too we're surrounded by other random men. Aizawa looked around him and the others. They we're surrounded by men with firearms as well.
"What the hell...! Who are these guys?!" Rester proceeded asking.
Near looked Seur's way for an explanation as to why he went against his own word after they had complied with his bargain.
"These are men under the influence of the death note. I have no say here anymore, one of them will set off the bomb in this chapel, and we will all go sky high." Seur said amused.
"You mother fucker!" Rat spat out as he shot Seur's back. Seur fell onto the ground, dropping both the notebook and pen to the ground, as he lay there bleeding out. Rat quickly took advantage of the notebook and pen, dragging Maria with him.
"Let go of her!" Shouted Matsuda as he along with Mello, and Matt chased after him. Rat shot at they direction, injuring both Matt and Matsuda, missing Mello by an inch of his ear. As Mello looked Matt's way.
"Get out of here Mello. Maria needs you! This place is about to blow!" Shouted Matt at Mello.
"But... Your injured Matt..." Mello proceeded.
"I'm fine! Go on!" Shouted Matt back. As he held to the fresh wound of the side of his stomach.
Mello ran, thinking no further as he speed-ed for his daughter. Terr turned his father around to make sure he was dead. The man was clearly alive, but clinging to it, as he was fading slowly away. Terr felt an ache he could not comprehend, but regardless he wanted the man dead.
Seur lifted a weak arm, holding up the eraser that could bring those to life; if they're names we're ever written in the notebook.
"Have it however you'd like... Those two; the police Matsuda, and Matt will die. It was written in the notebook, but on a separate page I teared out... I came to the realization... that I was committing an error involving those orphans. I should of killed Watari myself when I had the chance... I guess I hated him for the very reason that he was good, and he could clearly see the evil in me, and I wanted to be the good one. With the excuse to kill, to feel among the Gods, the Shinigami... Despite me being evil... I could see Watari's undying love and care. That old geezer... I hated him so much..." Whispered Seur during his last breathes of life to Terr.
Terr looked at what once was his father, lying there dead. He felt no joy or sorrow. All this pursue of vengeance... For what in the end? But to feel empty...
Matt and Matsuda still laid there bleeding out. But regardless urging the rest of the SPK and Task Force to get the orphans out, and away from the bomb about to go off, seeing as how the man set to die, turned it on. Activating the timer to activate it.
The SPK and the Japanese Task Force quickly wasted no time as they carried the bodies of the orphans to be relived by this eraser in Terr's possession.
...
Mello continued pursuing Rat who had a hold of Mello's daughter. Thankfully to Rat's relief there we're a few men left on his side opening the Wammy Orphanage gates to allow them out on a truck. Maria crying the whole time was yelled at by Rat to shut up. As he managed to throw the struggling girl into the back of the truck.
"Let go of her... I won't say it again." Mello warned.
"What are you going to do Mello?! In your position, nothing!" Rat yelled. But Rat's attention was soon caught by the Yagami girl also appearing before him with a gun pointed at him.
"You heard the father. Let our daughter go now!" Sayu proceeded.
"Sayu... What are you doing here?" Asked Mello, still in unison with her; pointing they're guns at Rat now.
"What a mother is supposed to do. Go after her child in danger, just as you did." Sayu responded.
"That's it! We will all die now!" Yelled an angry Rat, as he took out another bomb, but as soon as he took it out he was on the ground dying from a heart attack, screaming poisonously, as he died. The other men around him dropping like flies before they had a chance to take off with Maria. Sayu picked up the notebook that Rat had taking from Seur, only to get a glimpse of Creston, along with her now Shinigami brother; Light disappearing. Dying. They had saved they're lives by written the remaining threats names, at a cost that they now we're paying. Maria slowly came out from where she was, only to run towards Creston.
Looking behind at her mother and father who we're standing there watching, as they're daughter held the creature in it's last moments.
Sayu looked her brother's way who was now savoring his last moment there. Looking Sayu's way.
Sayu slowly walked towards him as well, looking up at him.
"Light... Are you leaving again?" Sayu asked, slowly reaching up at him, but unable to bring herself to touch him.
"Yes, I'm leaving again, as I failed yet again at another attempt to rid the world of evil, but it seems like I continuously create it." Light said softly, looking around him at the dead bodies.
Sayu remained silent. Looking around too in unison.
"I won't ask you for forgiveness... I don't deserve it, not even from our mother, or father..." Light further mentioned as now sand below him was slowly appearing.
"I... empathizes with you brother... And I forgive you, but I'll never forget..." Sayu whispered.
Catching Light in surprise at how she truly has changed, since they're childhood together.
"I love you brother..." Sayu whispered, flicking Matt's lighter on, turning her notebook Light had giving her, on fire, as she watched it now burning, the echos of past death's screaming, as the sparkles of sand past through Sayu's body, and her brother's last whispers we're the same as her's, as he too now was gone in unison as Creston.
Sayu went on burning the next notebook, Creston's notebook. As her daughter now looked at her mother, hugging her waist silently.
"Is that why Sidoh is back to his world? Was your goal to burn the remaining notebooks?" Asked Mello approaching Sayu and Maria.
"Yes... So this stupid cycle of murder can end..." Sayu confirmed, as Mello hugged a now crying Sayu, and his daughter along as well.
...
2016.
Another night, and the routine went on.
Linda looked at the old recording of those events... the Wammy house and it's surroundings we're being re-build due to the damage it suffered, she could hear her past voice leading the SPK and the Japanese Task Force out of all the dark surroundings the explosions caused. Being they're eyes and ears as Near had told her long ago, as she sighed and turned off the recording. Putting that aside to touch her now growing stomach, bringing a smile to her face, as Near entered taking his seat, onto another investigation. The SPK along side Near and Linda as always. Keeping track. Linda happy for everything around her, and happy for Sayu at the end who did not need the use of the death note she had before. At the end, all ended well.
Elsewhere in Japan, Sayu was now visiting her mother and the Task Force on a Christmas event. Sayu's father's photo present at the table.
The atmosphere was cheery, despite the broken souls that kept on healing for eternity there, as they laughed, and talked, ate, and drank.
Both Sayu and Mello holding hands, as they now we're engaged. Rose teasing them in a drunk state.
8 year old Maria played outside in the snow with Victory, Abel and Larry, preferring to get away from the adults as the continued making snow forts, and having snow ball wars.
It had been almost 3 years now, and everyone was coping. They we're able to save the Wammy children, but sadly Matt and Matsuda's bodies we're never found throughout all that rubble. Maria missed them, she missed teasing Matsuda's love for her mother, and she missed calling Matt Wally. As Maria went to gather more snow for her opponents, she saw two figures in the distance, drinking coffee it seemed like in a car pretty far off from her and her friends as she stared for a bit more, after going back to join them.
"Let's head back. Terr and Takada are waiting. They say they got another lead on another notebook falling down to Earth. We should get it before more trouble starts." The redhead spoke up.
"Fine...! But I hope we don't see more of they're little love life... Makes me jealous." Whined the dark haired guy. As they drove off to the distance, behind another death note case. The same as a certain mother's goal was in the first place. Sidoh no collaborating with them against his fellow Shinigami; in return for chocolates.
End.
Sorry this was both terrible, and rushed...but my motivation for this left, when I was no longer getting reviews. Hope you enjoy regardless... _
