Death Note: Life Note

RW Chapter Twenty-Seven

A/N: I'm not that tired! The weather has also improved, it's been raining and it's not hot :D yay! This is the weather I like, when it's cloudy (sun makes me ill and gives me headaches) and warm. :3 perfect :3 

I'm addicted to Naruto kinda. I keep watching it when my favourite character appears, but then I'm not interested when he leaves. Idk what he's doing at the moment, he kinda just ditched Naruto and flew off. He better have more screen time before he leaves again. 

Anyway - enjoy the chapter!! Sorry for any errors. Idk if I ever described Benihime's parents - woops - or gave them names. So if I did, then they probably don't match in this chapter. So let me know so I can correct them :3 I also got Kyoko's name from Fruits Basket and Uryu from Bleach. The inspiration for these names comes from me facing my Fruits Basket manga and my Bleach poster (Uryu was the first character I saw). I'm really uncreative. I also can't be bothered to find names to fit them since they're pretty minor characters. 

Chapter Twenty-Seven

This can't be real.

Ignoring Near's panicked voice coming from my phone, I run to my Life Note and scribble their names down, not wasting another second.

Once I'm sure they'll be fine, I shove clothes and other necessities into a suitcase before exiting my apartment with my phone in my shaking hand. I should be able to get a flight to Japan.

This seems like a dream.

Please, let them be okay. I need them.

"Sorry, Near, I'm leaving for Japan." I say hurriedly before hanging up. I have to see that they're okay. Tears roll down my cheeks and silent sobs cause my body to tremble. I have to get myself together – I don't have time to waste crying.

Light's POV

Earlier that day in Japan.

I ring the doorbell on the Kimura's house. It's very nice. Anyway, I'm not here to drool over her old home. I'm here to see where she is.

I'm embarrassed to say she's hid from me for five years. I caught L easily enough, yet I can't see to harm her.

There's also the possibility that she's C and owns a Life Note – making her a threat to my new world. I can't let her stop me. When I've taken her down I can concentrate on stopping the SPK.

A woman answers the door. Her brown hair is short and is very neat, unlike Benihime's crazy hair. Her brown eyes are soft and welcoming. It's a shame that I have to kill these people, but they'll be sacrifices needed to help me defeat those that oppose me. Anyway, if it does turn out that Benihime is C, then I'm sure she'll bring her parents back. She'll be in so much shock that you won't think that this is all a plan made to find out who she really is.

"Hello," she says, appearing rather confused.

"Who is it?" A man, Benihime's dad I presume, peers around the door frame behind the woman. I've seen their faces. Great.

I can kill them.

The woman is Kyoko Kimura and the man is Uryu Kimura. They're Benihime's parents.

I found their names and their address from the school's records. I was hoping to find Benihime's name, but she was registered as Benihime Kimura there. That's how I ended up at her parent's doorstep. So I can see their face and kill them. I need to lure Benihime to me. If she isn't C and her parents never get brought back, she'll still return to attend their funeral. I can get Mikami to see her and tell me her name. If she's C, her parents will come back and there is a chance she'll return. If not I'll find another way to lure her to me. I will find her name and I will kill her myself.

"Hi, I wanted to know if Benihime is home? I used to be friends with her and I haven't seen or heard from her in a while and I can't reach her on her phone." I lie smoothly. Pain flashes over her mother's face.

She smiles sadly. "No, I'm afraid not. She's been touring the world for the past few years. She's currently in South Korea, I believe. Though she is planning to return home in a few months or so, I can let her know you dropped round and she'll get in touch when she can, if you want?" Her mother replies, her eyes flash to the side every so often and she appears nervous. Is she lying?

"Okay, thank you." I turn away and supress the smirking spreading across my face.

Benihime's POV

I leave my flat and begin the walk down the road, my suitcase in tow.

"Benihime!" I turn to see Mello running towards me. He grabs my hand when he reaches me. "Don't go! I heard what happened to your parents! What if it's a trap!"

I shake my head. "I don't think so. It was a car accident. Why would Kira kill my parents?" I say. I try to tug my hand out of his.

"You said you knew him! So why wouldn't he try to bait you into returning to Japan where he can see you and kill you!" Mello retorts. "Don't be stupid!"

"If it is a trap, the damage is done. I wrote their names down." I hiss to him, looking around to see if anyone is in hearing distance.

"Don't go! Stay here and be safe! I didn't drag your ass to Abi and Ed's house for you to go and kill yourself! Did you know how painful it was to carry you all the way there with my injuries?" Mello tugs me closer to him, so that we're barely inches away from each other. "Please, Beni." He begs. I shake my head and frown.

"I'm sorry, they're my parents. They're all I have left. I have to go and make sure they're safe. I'm miles away from them and they're in hospital! A good daughter would drop everything and make sure they're okay! I've put them through so much shit, I owe them this! Please, Mello. Just let me go!" I beg, tears rolling out of my eyes. "Please."

"I'm sure they'll be fine. They know about you, right? They wouldn't want you to risk your life to see if they're okay." Mello says urgently. I look away from him, ashamed that I'm crying in front of him.

I feel his breath on my face and I remember how close we are. My face burns at the idea that popped into my mind. He'll probably never forgive me. I have to do this though. I have to get to my parents. I owe it to them. For everything they've done for me, I owe them this. Even if it means causing Mello to hate me.

"Mello..." I mutter. I turn to face him. Our eyes meet and my heart flutters in my chest. It's now or never. "Forgive me." I whisper before pressing my lips to his.

Several things rush through my mind at once. It's like my brain is all muddled and doesn't know how to operate correctly.

I'm having my first kiss.

His lips taste like chocolate.

Why is my heart beating so quickly?

He begins to kiss me back and places his free hand to my cheek, his hand warm against my cold cheek. I tilt my head and deepen the kiss. His hand tightens around mine, his fingers entwining with mine – fitting together like a puzzle. 

Suddenly, when realisation dawns on him, the shock of the situation causes his hand to drop mine. Remembering what I had planned, I pull away quickly and while avoiding his gaze I run off, leaving him behind me.

I just keep running and I don't look back. I don't think I'll be able to carry on running if I see him.

I can't help but feel so guilty. It feels as though it's about to consume me.

The shock of the plan working begins to wear off. I hadn't thought that it would work. I thought he would push me away in disgust. That's what I was planning for. To get that loss of contact.

I hadn't expected he'd kiss me back.

Forgive me, please.

A/N: I wasn't expecting for the last bit to happen at all XD it was a last minute decision. Anyway, I hope you liked it XD 

For once I'm proud of a chapter XD
