I am Ryoko || L Lawliet x Kira!OC

19. Frontier

|| (A/N: you could find some angst moments ahead) ||

It was a rainy day, a typical cold and rainy day of November. However, the cold of each drop was nothing compared to the coldness inside Ryoko's heart. Few days ago L died and she had to leave Japan as instructed by the letter he gave her before those events.

When she read it for the first time she didn't understand what "Lawliet" meant. Was it a sort of code? Or a riddle? Then she realised that it must have been Ryuzaki's real name. He told her his true name...

His true name.

That was an extreme act of trust from him and this made Ryoko cry again.

And there she was. At the airport of Narita in order to fly towards Europe. Southampton would be her next destination.

A female metallic voice spoke through the speakers of the airport, interrupting Ryoko's thoughts. She didn't have the chance to say goodbye to her family, at Eriko or at Tobe-san. Well, she couldn't, L told her not to. However, she had to act fast: since she would disappear from the scenes for a while, she had to convince her family and friends not to search for her. If her face and name appeared on TV she was done.
