Futatsu no Tsuki
Chapter 18
He heard someone call his name, felt hands try to grab him only to have the cloth of his shirt slip through their fingers; his surroundings a blur, the only thing noticeable was the pounding of his heart. It nearly hurt his ribcage and the air he heaved in burned his lungs, yet he ignored them like one does an irksome pest and raced into the street. Mind racing with memories from five years before, preparing him for the painful eve of oblivion he anticipated with every step, he only dimly registered the hands that once more grabbed for him.

Light felt numb as he stared down at his twin lying unconscious on the hospital bed. Yue seemed frailer with his eyes closed and the bandages around his ribs and left wrist, along with the numerous minor abrasions and cuts marring his arms, legs, and face. A chill raced down Light's spine as he realized how miraculous it was that Yue hadn't been wounded worse by this latest suicide attempt.
"I must apologize once again, Yagami-san, for not being able to stop Yue-san." L spoke to Souichiro in a subdued voice, his heavily shadowed eyes obscured by his black hair. The police chief ignored the detective and sat down beside his son's hospital bed, running his hand through Yue's hair. "He is a faster runner than I am…."
The detective's words died in the welcoming silence, a silence broken only by the beep of the machines attached to the comatose Yue.
"Yagami-san…."
"….what were you and Yue talking about before Yue…." Souichiro hesitated, his hand that wasn't running through his son's hair clenched into a fist. Inside his chest his heart thumped angrily and his blood was like acid coursing through his body - the need to blame someone, to comb out a reason for Yue's suicide attempt grew steadily by the second. "Did you say anything that would make him try….make him attempt to…."
"We talked only about the investigation, Yagami-san." L replied plainly, the rage he sensed from the police chief warning him not to specify what part of the investigation he and Yue had discussed. "….he suddenly pushed me away and ran….I wasn't expecting it."
"Hm…." Light listened quietly to the detective's words while he studied his unconscious brother's face. It seemed strange gazing down at someone who resembled him so much lying comatose and bandaged in a hospital bed. He shivered at the crazy thought that it was like he was looking at himself on his death bed - his stomach knotted and he banished the thought from his mind. 'I can't become morbid….my death won't happen for a very long time….' "….Ryuzaki, are you sure you didn't pressure Yue with groundless accusations against me?"
"…None of my accusations are groundless, Yagami-kun. Still I did not pressure Yue-san with any accusations about you…."
"Then why did my brother try to kill himself? You said he suddenly pushed you away and ran toward the street…." Light glared at the raven-haired detective, hiding his relief behind a mask of righteous anger - his brother was no threat to him while unconscious. Further, he realized with relish, if Yue did become a threat again he could write 'suicide' beside his brother's name in the death note and no one would connect it to Kira. Yue had a history of suicide attempts after all….all he had to do was get around actually writing that name himself.
'Light Yagami….' L studied the brunette closely through his strands of raven hair. The slight smug smile hinting at the corner of his suspect's lips - a smile it seemed only he ever noticed - chilled him. His first thought when Yue ran toward the intersection had been 'it's Kira', but the fact that the younger Yagami twin sustained no fatal injury nor had a heart attack, disproved his suspicion. '…did you have nothing to do with this? Or can you somehow control people without killing them straightaway? All the information compiled about Kira so far suggests he kills only with heart attacks, so Yue did this on his own….however, Yue found out something about Kira….I'm sure he knows something important….something that points to his brother's guilt, which makes it likely that Kira will want him dead.' L chewed on his thumbnail and shifted his gaze to the younger Yagami brother's pale face; he stared at the closed eyes and the abrasions on the white cheeks. 'If this wasn't Kira's doing, but solely Yue's….Yue has found out something he can't face….instead of giving me the information he's found out, he's decided to run away by trying to kill himself. I thought he'd be stronger than that….'
"Ryuzaki-san! Chief!" Matsuda burst through the door, fear painted on his face and in his voice. Stumbling over his feet and his words as he entered, it took a few bewildering seconds before he managed to tell them to turn on the television. Then another few before he got out what station to turn to. "Turn to Sakura TV….it's…it's terrible…."
"Matsuda-san, what could…."
The words died in L's throat, along with his annoyance, as the word 'Kira' written in gothic letters on a black background stared back at him from the screen. He listened to the machine altered voice barely thirty seconds before he took out his cell phone and headed for the nearest point in the hospital he could use it.

Misa hummed to herself as she opened her apartment door and stepped inside, Rem floating along behind her. The blonde model tossed her bag onto the kitchen table, its contents slightly spilling out while she stretched and took off her coat. A smile on her lips, she switched on the television and sat down on a chair - all the news stations were still discussing what happened on Sakura TV four hours ago.
"Oh….I wonder what the police's response will be - either way they will have to show the real L on TV, when that happens I'll be able to kill him for Kira." Misa giggled, while Rem glanced around the room until her red eyes found the cassette tape. The Shinigami stared at the tape and the letter that came with it.
"Misa…."
"Um? Oh! That tape a fan sent me, I should play it now…." The model grabbed the cassette, then headed for her bedroom; she plopped down on the mattress before reaching for the portable cassette player that lay on the dresser next to the bed.
Rem frowned as she watched her human put the tape in the player and the earbuds into her ears; though the Shinigami still felt uneasy she sighed and floated through the wall into the hallway.
'Maybe, just in case, it'll be a good idea to look for signs of trespassing….I thought I saw someone watching Misa the other day by the stairs, but I might have been mistaken. Nothing seems to have been taken or touched….' Rem narrowed her eyes slightly as the thought jumped into her head. '….I might be paranoid, but it seemed whoever was in the stairwell had noticed me….'
"AH!" Misa's gasp brought the Shinigami back to the model's bedroom, her eyes wide with worry. That expression soon grew into puzzlement as Rem studied her beloved human's face and saw not just Misa's surprise, but her excitement as well. The model sat up on her bed, attention focused on listening to the cassette tape as it played.

The one called Tenichi glanced over the letter with an odd gleam in his dark eyes, their intensity eclipsed by the heavy shadows thrown over them by his raven hair. He read the letter thoroughly, mouthing the words as the clouds outside blocked the pale moon from filling the world with its silver glow - strengthening the shadows surrounding him from each corner of the room.
" 'These pages and the notebook you shall receive shortly….'" He read again, this time giving sound to the words rather than just lips movements. Disbelief pulsed through him and his hand shook, clasped tightly in his fingers was evidence that what he yearned for was once more within his reach. And this time he would not make any mistakes. "My, how interesting things become when one simply sits back and waits….I was certainly right to choose you, Yue…but this is faster than I expected…."
Headlights from a passing car streamed through the window and illuminated the man's face and body. Clothed in plain black jeans and a white turtleneck that nearly covered up all his burn scars but did nothing to extinguish the wildness that burned like an aura from his lithe form, the man leaned against the kitchen wall. The letter fell from his fingers as he stared at the ceiling, his dark eyes exuding a bright crimson glow.
'I wonder….who will catch Kira first? L or me?'
