Chapter 8
"Ok, YN.. We've done some tests and we'll mail you to the results as soon as we get them! Your address has changed, and you've told us what it is, right?" YN's doctor asked, she nodded, smiling brightly at the elderly gentleman. He vaguely reminded her of Watari.
"Well, I'll see you soon!" he smiled and turned to leave the room. YN sighed and hopped off the examination table. She stretched and collected her purse out of the chair also in the room. Her doctor, Dr. Eastwood, had prescribed some sleep medicine upon noticing her bloodshot eyes.
YN walked to the counter and filled out the forms quickly before moving to sit on a waiting bench. "Ms. LN?" YN perked up immediately once she heard her name. She paid and took the pill bottle, stuffing into her purse. She waved and began the walk to the headquarters.
She heard faint yelling behind her, but she ignored it, assuming it was not aimed at her. A hand grabbed her shoulder suddenly. Instinctively, she whirled around to face the culprit. Her palm made contact with his cheek. "He" stumbled back, only to look up and reveal himself to be Light. "O-oh my! I'm so so so sorry!" she apologized, running to pat his back as a form of comfort.
"D-don't worry about it.." he mumbled, holding the side of his face. "Are you alright?" she asked. He nodded, trying to muster up a smile. YN listened intently as Light told the story of how he had been in the area and decided to see if he could catch up enough to arrive "home" with her.
Soon they arrived and YN fled to her room to straighten up a bit. After putting her things away, she went to the main investigation room. Aizawa, Matsuda, L, and the chief were the the only ones there. YN smiled at them all and dutifully took her seat beside Matsuda. He smiled at her before beginning to type a new report.
"Fire.." L muttered. YN looked up from her just opened screen and cocked a brow. "There's a fire.. Everyone! Go, now! To your vehicles!" YN stood up, grabbed her bag, and followed the men who were running out the building loudly. L walked briskly as well, standing for only a second before YN pulled him into the passenger seat. He took the necessary precautions before she sped off behind the others.
"This must be the work of Kira," L mused. YN nodded, listening to the detective's words. "We might catch him of we get there in time!" she cheered, pressing her foot against the gas a bit harder. After a few minutes, they arrived at the burning prison.
"This is terrible! " Aizawa exclaimed, slamming his car door. The fire seemed to be spreading to the fence, snaking around the perimeter. YN watched fearfully as the fire illuminated their faces. A clank was heard before everyone looked to Matsuda. He had dropped his gun and was sprinting into the building.
"Matsuda, no!" Light shouted, watching in astonishment. Everyone screamed for him to get back. YN threw herself forward and began racing after him, tears streaming down her face as she screamed for him hoarsely. She was soon grabbed from behind, her wrists held behind her back. "Let me go- Matsuda!" she cried, wrestling with her captor. Light gripped her wrists tightly, ignoring her cries. "Ms. LN, cease and desist!" L called from a few yards away. With a kick to his thigh, YN got Light to let go for a split second.
She shook her wrists slightly before running for the entrance. "LN!" someone called before YN pushed her way inside. "Matsuda!" She looked in every nook and cranny before finding Matsuda leaning against a rickety wooden wall, his hands up in a surrendering pose. His eyes were wide and glistening, pleading almost.
YN looked to see a man in a body suit covering every inch of skin, a mask over his face as well. Matsuda coughed while being held at gunpoint by the man. She tightened her hands in a fist before running up and grabbing Matsuda roughly, pushing him in front of her, thankful the exit wasn't too far. "Hey!" the assumed fire starter called. Gunfire began, bullets falling around them. Before YN made it out the door, a single bullet nailed her in the side. She gasped in pain, but ran out of the building, following Matsuda.
By then, the fire department and police had arrived. Everyone was screaming at Matsuda as the fire department began spraying the building with water while rushing inside. YN felt a stare on the back of her head and turned around to meet Light's glare. Her vision began faltering as her hand rested on her side. She felt a wetness and looked down to see a red liquid on her palm. "LN!" L called before doing his brisk walk yet again.
YN felt her legs begin to give out as she gripped L's forearms for support. She began coughing in fits, her tears falling silently then. "It'll be ok.." he muttered, easing her onto the ground. She buried her head in his chest as the pain became unbearable. She began screaming into the fabric of his white shirt. He called paramedics over to them, trying to soothe her somewhat. YN's fist were clutching his shirt sleeves as her hearing became reduced to the buzzing of a bee in her ear.
She let go before falling backwards against the grass with wide eyes. Before her vision faded, she saw L mouthing words to her with a frightened expression on his face.
