I Can See The Light~ A Death Note Fanfic

Chapter 6

"Please pick up." I starred at my answering machine with my dull eyes. It's been a month and L has arrested some big buisness guy. He was Kira. Not the original, but a Kira. "I miss you, sis." He must be alone. I cut off my answering machine. I hadn't answered his calls at all this past month. Matsuda's been watching over me. He's been letting out some stuff that I wasn't supposed to know.

I starred up at my ceiling thinking about what Rem, the shinigami, said to me. I've also heard that they have her in confindment. My suspicions about Light still haven't changed. Now with the shinigami and him my brother will die. I don't know why he can't see that.

My gaze averted to the ringing phone. Brother. I hesitated. Should I pick up the phone? Should I let him speak to me? Guilt started to take over. Maybe I was treating my brother unfairly. My expression saddened before I picked up the phone.

"I'm sorry." I spoke starring at the wall across from me. My face turned from depressed to sincere. I love my brother and would never want to hold a grudge against him forever. I could hear something shuffle on the other line.

"I love you, Matsu. If anything happens to me-" He stopped in mid sentence. a loud bang was made on the other side of the line. I started to panic.

"L?" No answer. "Bro?" Nothing. Screams came into earshot.

He's dead.

I grabbed my coat and ran out of my apartment. The only sound I could hear was the rapid beats of my heart. I bit my lip as I ran across the street to the police station.

I ran for the door where L and the others would be. a man grabbed my shoulders, pushing me back. "Let me in, you bastard!" I screamed trying to push through the man's body.

"Matsu?" That voice. I stopped struggling and looked up. It was Aizawa. "I'm sorry." He apologized. Holding my hand, he excorted me to where the others were. My hands shook violently as the sound of sirens filled the room. Red lights lighted up the room. I looked for L. My eyes looked down at the fallen chair. Next to that fallen chair was a fallen L. Light was over him.

My hand went to my frantic heart as my chst tightened. "It can't be." I muttered. I walked closer to Light. It was true. I kneeld down over L, grabbed his hand, and sobbed. His eyes had so much pain in them. I clentched my hand in his and starred at his face. "I promise I'll avenge you." My voice quivered. The clever respond I was expecting didn't come. His eyes closed. My brother was dead.

I looked over at Light. He didn't have a solemn expression. He didn't even look panicked. He had a small delighted smile snug on his face. My hand tightened around my brother's. I said I'll avenge you, L, and I'll bring Kira to justice.

The next sound that filled my ears were the loud talk of paramedics. Turns out both Watari and L died. Both by heart attacks.
