Death Note - Love and Madness

By Tayla Drago

Death Note #9 Encounter

As Haruka and Ferdie got out of the hospital to finally meet with the other guys working on the Kira case, though losing her memory on one event, she needed to go back to square one and that's by solving this mystery and hacking into things. That includes Ryuuzaki for Haruka to meet her idol L, Matsuda who was in love with her, and Souichiro knows of her since she and Light were childhood friends...It was time for Ryuuzaki to have a confrontation with Haruka herself 'just to be sure that she wasn't Kira'. Well, if it was Light, it could be a girl, just saying. Besides a normal chit chat who will Haruka Todou be with? Ryuuzaki aka L or Matsuda? Who knows! Well, Light would if he wasn't a murderer. Again, I'm just saying.

Haruka: Protection? From work and in college when I'm done with high school? You're doing it for me? I don't know what to say...

Seems that Ryuuzaki will help Haruka keep her daily life and protect her at all coasts.

L: Think of this as payment. We do that, and still live a good life while at the same time you'll help us capture Kira.

Haruka: I don't know what to say about that...

A bit shock about it, but happy at the same time for her. Ryuuzaki then moves up to Haruka to say something else with a little treat for her to eat.

L: Hungry? I have pudding.

Haruka: Oh! Yes, thank you.

As the two ate together, Haruka sees him eating a lot of sweets to get her curious about something. He knew what she would say to him.

L: No worries. I need to eat; I take defense classes to becoming stronger while using my brain to think. Nice way to burning off calories.

Haruka: I see...

L: Now that you know about me, Haruka, let's talk about you. I have done some background check. About your job, your career, you sad incident on your parents with the murderer still at large. I'm sorry for your lost. And being so smart and beautiful, you're also a quiet one without friends. Well, maybe a few including loving my work to your little handmade doll name Ferdie.

So Ryuuzaki knows about Haruka's past.

Haruka: Light and Ferdie are the only friends I have. No guy or girl ever wants to hang out with me.

L: Only you wish to have the real Ferdie fox you rescue to still be alive. You have a half split personify on it of your true self. You may look, calm, quiet, sad, but think really well, that other Ferdie is the other you. Anger, overjoyed, hyperactive, too friendly, and over protected in worrying things too much. Haruka, you have what people call it...Autism.

Haruka never knew about that.

Haruka: I... I do...!?

L: It's normal. Happens to those who are born with it. They're still smart and being who they are. Haruka, in your case you're trying to be brave on your own. That's why you solve mysteries so well, you have Ferdie to keep your emotions aside as another being you can understand and maybe others, and you get scared. From the accident you have from falling, it made things worse in your head to lose your memories. Certain ones. Such as the killer's identity, the man of your dreams, and what happened when Kira was chasing you down. Can you remember anything at all?

Haruka tries to, but no matter what she did it was hurting her still, like an electric pulse-like pain coursing with her none stop.

Haruka: No... Sorry, Ryuuzaki...I can't. I remember seeing Naomi for something while still working in finding Kira. I thought Ferdie and I found something. One thing we were running, and then the next everything went black. I was in the hospital for Watari to arrive. I know my laptop was destroyed. If I still had it, we would've solved the case yet.
