Chapter 16

They ran. They ran, and ran looking for the third Kira. It's been half an hour. Soichiro went to all the news stations, telling them to report a criminal man on the run. Near posted it all over the internet, which had seemed to have gotten a lot of attention. The others, including herself, went looking for him. Aizawa and Matsuda were one team. She, L and Light were the second.

How the hell did he escape? He must've been really skillful to get himself out. M recalled the image of Mikami's empty cell. The windows weren't shattered, the doors were open. The doors. It couldn't be opened from the inside. Even if you did, you had to scan your hand in order to get out. Mikami certainly wasn't registered in the programming-

Someone got him out.

When they stopped for a while she took the chance to look at light. The look of darkness, evilness. Light was registered into the programming after he was officially declared innocent. Light let Mikami escape. By when did he got to the cell? She felt like knocking her head on a desk.

He went when she and L were still upstairs. When the others including him had just arrived. He went. Light was a really good hacker as well. He must've hacked into the system. That's why he was with them when the alarms triggered. He set a time. A time of when the doors will open. And Mikami will run.

Softly, she swore looking away from light. She looked at him now and missed the old him. The one that would smile and mean it. When he would not have the look of darkness on him all the time. She wanted the old Light back Not the new one that didn't give a crap about what happened to his "comrades". Misa. Did he even love her? Or was he just using her? It was all because of this god damn-

Death note.

The death note. She recalled running out of the building. The glass box that kept the notebook. It was..

"Empty" she said, running her fingers through her hair. L and Light turned to her. Light didn't seem to look confused at all. "Empty" she repeated, looking at L. "T-the death note, it wasn't in the box! It's gone!"

L stared at her. Asking her the same question she did through their stares. 'What the hell are we gonna going to do now?'

Wait. The death note was gone. If it was stolen an alarm would have been triggered too. And Mikami... Light didn't hack the time he would get out. He hacked the alarm, and got him out. He then stole the death note, allowing them to realize Mikami was missing. Because he knew that's what the task force would think. Damn it.

       They had asked many people in town in the had seen him by showing a picture of Mikami. So far, all of them said no. Light went a different direction earlier. At first, she didn't allow it but then L insisted. Being too lazy to argue right now, she agreed.

       She opened the door to a dark building. It was something like a small workshop but not too small or too big. M looked to her right and switched on the lights to half of the room. Revealing the dusty furniture. "Why would Mikami be in a place like this?" L asked, looking around. M reached out her hand to switch on the other lights. "That's because this was my sisters 'crib'. that's what she called at least" she flicked the switch revealing a bed, couch, a not so bad tv and a desk mainly. The room walls were covered with fairy lights and photos were hung in the walls as well. During some nights, her sister would spend the night here or even a week. M remembered the time when her eldest brother wasn't a criminal. When her sister hadn't met Mikami yet. The four of them would spend most of their time here. The four of them including Hisato. They were so happy.

       At the corner of her eye, she saw something. She saw him. Mikami. L didn't seem to notice. He had entered from the back door. M's face went pale when she saw what he was about to do. He had a gun. And he was aiming at....L. At first she whispered L's name. And then screamed it running in front of him and took out her gun, shooting Mikami in the chest. He fell to the floor, dead. She dropped her hands, still gripping the gun.

       He looked at Mikami, shocked. How was he not Alert. His eyes shifted to M who was standing still, shaking.

       "M, are you alright?" He asked. She didn't reply. "meiko?". Still, she didn't reply. Then he heard what sounded like drops of water. Panic rushed trough him as he looked at the floor. Blood. And it was dripping from the t-shirt she wore inside. "M?" His voice shaking, filled with worry. Then, she looked at him over her shoulders and smiled. He caught a her as she fell. He sat on the cold floor, holding her in his arms.

       She chuckled softly. "Sorry i stained it" she said, removing her right hand. Revealing her wound. The bullet she took for him.

       "I got you that hoodie for your fifteenth birthday, I can always get you a new one." He said.

       "L" she touched his face. Her blood staining his skin. But he didn't care. "You're crying" she said, wiping his tears. "I'm so sorry" she chocked out, tears running down her face. He shushed her by placing his lips on hers. She was still warm. When they pulled away, he whispered, "I love you. I love you and you remember that. And you don't have to reply because I know you freaking love me too"

       Then, being the stubborn girl she was, she replied, "I love you too" she released a breath. "L. Lawliet". He felt her slowly turning cold. Her eyes slowly closed, her body relaxing. He called her name. Then again. And again. Then he screamed it. He let the tears run down his face as he chocked out her name, placing his forehead on hers.

       She was gone.

Soo, how do you guys like that ending?
