Chapter 18: Shinigami
"So how's Gelus goin'?" Dan asked his friend.
"He turned to ashes. Gelus probably saved some human, that was a long time ago. Weren't you informed?" The other Shinigami asked.
"Nah. I was finding Y/N over here. The legendary Half Shinigami." Dan said, finally acknowledging my presence.
"Half Shinigami? Are you a Half Shinigami? I'm Phil by the way." Phil said.
"Yeah. That's what I've heard." I responded to both of his questions.
"Hmm, Dan. I didn't know you work for a Half Shinigami, anyway- Wait What?! YOU'RE A HALF SHINIGAMI?!" Phil suddenly screamed.
I nodded my head awkwardly. "U-uh. Yeah." was my reply.
"You're the daughter of the Shinigami King! The past one I must say. I was his left hand much to how Dan's his right. How you doin'?" He asked.
I tried to skip over the fact that he mentioned half shinigami too many times.
"I'm doing fine?" It was more like a question than an answer.
They continued their discussion and I stood there awkwardly, after a few minutes. I spoke up.
"Uhm. I'm going to take a bath. Go somewhere else and discuss. I'll buy you your candies once I have permission to leave later." I said and went straight to the shower room. Their voices faded so I know that they went somewhere to talk about things.
Seriously, it's like they haven't seen each other for a hundred years. Which is probably the case.
I walked back to my desk and grabbed my phone. Heading back to the bathroom, I removed my clothes and opened the shower to let the warm water flow down. I played a random song from my playlist.
"Test my reality, Check if there's a weak spot,
Clinging to insanity, In hopes, the world will ease up.
Try to make it look like it's all somehow getting better.
'Cause I know how to play it pretty well against the measure.
Everyone started out a little insane.
But we learn pretty quick how to fake it for the game.
But some of you never learned to drop the act.
So under that skin of yours: a heart attack." I paused, waiting for the right time to sing along with the song while I washed my hair.
"Cause everybody's so scared. We don't wanna go there.
We don't wanna make a move. We got all our lives to lose.
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along. Like I don't know what's going on
Somebody make a move. Somebody make a move.
Please, somebody, make a move.
We all know. We all know what's going on."
Honestly, It's ironic how it relates to what's happening right now. People won't wake up on the truth that Kira isn't justice. He said that he hated killing others, then why is he killing criminals? He doesn't kill 'innocent' people? Then why the hell did my parents die? Why did L die? He killed everyone who got in his way. That's the truth. If he would somehow succeed to create the new world -which I won't let him do it- then it would just be tyranny.
And if I had the answers I'd have written them out.
So I can tell you what to do and what this thing is about.
But all I've ever learned comes second-hand.
And I dare not preach what I don't understand."
I kept singing. Bleh, who cares if someone heard me? It's a nice song if you excuse my voice. (A/N: I'm kidding! Reader-chan has a very nice voice. She just won't admit it. XD)
You and I; we share the same disease.
Cover up; compromise what we grieve.
I've let more than my share of revivals die.
This isn't pretty but it's what I am tonight."
"Pointing my fingers the problems still linger.
They keep getting bigger and I hold the trigger.
Running with fire, I live like a liar.
Please, somebody, make a move.
'Cause everybody's so scared. We don't wanna go there.
We don't wanna make a move. We got all our lives to lose.
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out.
I'll play along. Like I don't know what's going on."
"Somebody make a move. Somebody make a move.
Please, somebody, make a move.
We all know. We all know what's going on."
I finished the first song. It's how I keep track of the time I spend while taking a bath. The next song played and I started to sing along. (A/N: Near can hear you, your room is 'nearby' his room remember? I'm pretty sure I said that somewhere in the story XD.)
My Demons by Starset started playing. This song is the one I personally can relate to. I kinda love it. (A/N: I'm sarreh if you don't O_O)
Mayday! Mayday!
"The ship is slowly sinking. They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling.
They're all around me, Circling like vultures.
They wanna break me and wash away my colors.
Take me high and I'll sing, Oh you make everything okay.
We are one in the same, Oh you take all of the pain away.
Save me if I become... My demons."
"I cannot stop this sickness taking over.
It takes control and drags me into nowhere.
I need your help, I can't fight this forever.
I know you're watching, I can feel you out there."
Take me over the walls below.
Fly forever, Don't let me go.
I need a savior to heal my pain.
When I become my worst enemy, The enemy!"
I sang as my emotions were pouring into the song. For once, I actually think I sound nice.
"Take me high and I'll sing, Oh you make everything okay.
We are one in the same, Oh you take all of the pain away.
Save me if I become, My demons."
The song finished, I'm pretty sure the 7 minutes had passed because if I remember correctly, Make A Move has 3.2 minutes while My Demons has 3.59 minutes. After a few more minutes, I finally finished taking a nice shower. I wrapped a towel around myself and the moment I stepped out I heard a clink. A gun was pointed at me along with the snap of a chocolate bar.
Wait what? Let me repeat that...
The moment I stepped out I heard a clink. A gun was pointed at me along with the snap of a chocolate bar.
I immediately froze in my tracks. Who dares to enter the mighty Y/N's room and point a gun at her? This dude does apparently.
"Why the hell are you pointing a gun at-" I suddenly stopped talking when I turned to look at him. Is this guy possibly Mello? He sure looks like him! Blonde hair, Blue eyes, Pale complexion, Black leather clothes. The only difference is the burn mark on the left part of his face and his messier hair, along with the glint in his eyes.
"You're still alive after you blew the whole building up? Cool!" I suddenly exclaimed, he was taken aback by my positive outburst, he wouldn't have expected it since he just pointed his gun at me. Mello narrowed his eyes and took a bite out of his chocolate dramatically.
"Take me to Near." He spoke. His voice reminded me of my dream, or possibly a flashback? It's too surreal to be a dream.
"Woah, Shut up dude. I'm still in a damned towel. Let me dress up, you pervert." I said to him, a flash of emotions passed through his eyes and he glared at me.
"Just hurry up." He told me in an annoyed tone. Some emotions like familiarity and shock are lingering in his eyes. What's up with him?
"Yeah whatever. Get out." I irritably replied. He sighed in annoyance and walked out the door.
I ran to the closet and picked out a simple black and F/C shirt with my favorite number on it, Black ripped jeans and I slipped on a pair of piggy slippers. What? He told me to hurry up! I don't wanna get shot or worse, get blown up by that Cross-Dressing Chocolate Maniac.
I ran to the door and opened it, not before grabbing a lollipop of course. Who says I can't eat while being taken a hostage? Mello raised an eyebrow at me but didn't say anything else. Oops, I spoke too soon.
"Such an unusual piece of crap." He mumbled quietly, but not too quiet for me to not here.
"Speak for yourself, Cross-dressing choco-maniac," I replied back at him.
He glared at me so hard that if looks could kill, I would probably be buried a hundred times already. I glared back at him, Wanna have a glaring contest, dude? Oh, you're gonna get it!
He didn't speak a word after that and continued shoving me into somewhere, he suddenly stopped when he probably realized that he didn't know where Near is.
Hah, Epic Fail! Get that in the face!
I bit my lip to stifle a laugh, or else our situation might get worse.
"Take the hallway to the left. Make a turn and you'll know exactly where it is once you saw it." I told him before he asked me the question. Wordlessly, Mello shoved me to the direction I said. Near and the others had probably realized it already that Mello is here.
When he got to the front door of where Near is at -still with the gun pointed in my head- there were some few clicks and the door opened. Revealing Near, Halle, Gevanni, and Rester. The only ones left in the SPK. Gevanni and Rester had their guns pointed at us, specifically Mello.
"Mello, Welcome." Was the first thing Near said after a few seconds, facing the opposite direction. I'm being taken a damned hostage and of course, Near is still emotionless! What would I expect?
"Drop your weapon!" Rester screamed as he raised the gun further along with Gevanni. Oh look, somebody cares. Whew! I thought I was invisible there for the moment.
"Everyone, please put down your guns. Having to shoot out here would achieve exactly nothing." Near monotonously said, still with his back faced to us.
"Sir, with all do respect. He was the one who killed our comrades." Gevanni argued.
"Please don't make me say it again. Remember, our primary objective was still to catch Kira. Killing Mello right now would do nothing to benefit our investigation." Near blankly stated as his head turned slightly to our direction. Slightly.
"Hmm. Alright." Rester agreed while he put down his gun, Gevanni doing the same thing.
This is just one hell of a day!
