Dear Diary,
We have made it to the House and have been living here for three days, which means that now it is a Saturday. Right now, I sit in the very room of the same clock tower from mere a year ago. Before me, the blue-filtered sunlight streams in through stained glass half-circle of the northern clock, so many memories its light falls upon in my head. I can see Raito outside, talking with all the children and playing with them. The contentment in his eyes is so endearing... I find it hard to tear myself away from my spot beside the blue glass clock window.
Who would have known that Kira's reign would be so short-lived? I do not particularly mind though, for less time as opposing forces makes for more time to spend on the same side of the line. More time together...
Arriving home played out exactly how I had expected it to. We stepped onto the grounds of the House in the middle of Thursday night and remained within our vehicle until Roger and Watari gave us the okay to go inside. Like I requested, the clock tower room was prepared for two people. However, it was too difficult to get a second bed into the room. They failed to tell me that bit of information along with the fact that Matt was up in our future living space.
That child is made of devious and copious amounts of devilish, mischievous, impish matter. His eyes lit up when he saw the two of us enter the passageway. I swear that if I had not leapt over to his as quickly as I did, he would have made some sort of dirty joke toward Raito. And just when I thought I had shut him up, he bit my hand and began to suck on the flesh.
Of course, being Matt, he had to make things worse for me than they already were. He decided that it was necessary to give me a kiss on the cheek (extremely close to my lips) as a greeting. Raito got a bit red in the face and quickly strode over to me and yanked me up for a rough kiss. I am not going to lie: I enjoyed that.
However, the action only made Matt laugh and cheer at the both of us. I suppose the kiss was a good move on Raito's part, but I still felt somewhat embarrassed by how bold he was in front of a mere child.
Alas, they are both only children. Even though they are six years apart, I suppose this kind of behavior is to be expected. Who would have known that Raito would be so protective of me?
(I smiled when I saw the box of peppermint cheesecake on the table. To think that Matt even remembered... Still, I would expect no less of him.)
Matt served the two of us as if he were the host of the House itself. I suppose him and Raito did not quite get off on the right foot, because the moment they had begun talking, it seemed as if I was watching an all-out battle between two children. Personally, the entire fiasco was rather entertaining until Matt flung a bit of the cheesecake into Raito's hair. I must admit though, that it was fun for me to have to wash the bits out of Raito's hair for him... that is, until Matt began giggling and snickering at the two of us from by the bed.
I should not have come back the day of their trip into the town. Matt told me he drank two cups of coffee and bought a third for himself last night. It must have been a nightmare to try to get Mello off of his arm, considering what he told me on the plane.
It seems silly to think that it was only a year ago when I lost him. Even though I feel a bit selfish in my finding love again so soon, I know that he would understand. Even though he lost his sanity near the end of his life, he was never unable to feel.
Raito began bugging me this morning by pushing me out of bed. I suppose he wants me to show him around the House tonight, but I must write. Perhaps we should begin designing a more permanent home for our combined residence on House property. A few more years of schooling (from me personally) and I am sure that he will be able to become a teacher at the House and work cases with me?
That makes me think of the Death Note. I suppose it was alright seeing as how Kira is now dead, but we allowed Matt to touch the Death Note and speak with Ryuk. It was an interesting experience to say the least. If I didn't know better, they seemed more like long-lost friends than new acquaintances.
Soon after, we recorded Raito telling himself (and Matt since he had also touched the Note) about being Kira and the entire story of the case. I am not sure how effective that method was exactly, but soon after we created the video, Raito relinquished ownership of the Death Note by burning it. Before we burned the Death Note, we made sure to burn the one Ryuk had on him and the one we took from the police as well. As of this moment, no copies of the Notes exist on earth.
Ryuk had mentioned that the first human who used the Death Note would ultimately have their name written in his own Death Note. Part of me fears for Raito's life because of this detail, but Ryuk also failed to mention that along with losing all memories associated with the Death Note and/or the destruction of the bonding Note where the deal was first forged, all obligation to the beginning bond rule would be nullified. If Raito watches the tape, that would be considered only learning that he was Kira but it would not count as him actually having the memories returned to him.
Personally, I believe this system is rather in effective in the sense that it could be easily abused or misinterpreted, but I do not matter much. For the exchange of Ryuk to be allowed to eat apples from the House gardens whenever he visits earth, he revealed to us a very important part of the function of the Death Note itself: the rules are also subject to the interpretation of each individual Shinigami. Although the rules are all stated in the same way, the wording in Shinigami language is rather cryptic and filled with subtle double meaning. As long as Ryuk continues to be persuaded to interpret them differently, then Raito is safe.
Rem, on the other hand, visited us this morning. We were able to persuade her (but not without great difficulty) to relinquish her Death Note. Apparently Ryuk thinks he will be able to get two copies from their head death god if he brings enough apples back to the Shinigami realm with him. I wonder what that place is like...
As for Misa, Rem has decided to watch her from the Shinigami world. Apparently her life span was never cut short either. Because she was already alive past the date that she was supposed to die, her life span fluxuates with the changing of even the blowing of the wind. That makes death by Shinigami-associated causes impossible. She lost her memory of Second Kira and I doubt that she will be able to become Second Kira on her own again. She might not be an idiot, but she definitely is nothing compared to Raito.
These musings are a bit of a waste of my time. The afternoon is wearing thin and I am starting to crave more strawberry-jelly filled cake. Perhaps I could get Watari to fetch me two slices along with a sandwich for Raito? He looks like he is having fun greeting the children in the back field. Some of the female students will be charmed away by his personality but I suppose that bit is quite unavoidable. After all, if I was susceptible to him I have no doubt that individuals both younger than me and opposite my gender are as well.
When Matt will be finished with his specialty lesson? The YDEs have been over for a while and the teachers have just started to prepare the children for this year's examination, so it should not take too long for him to come back up here. Perhaps I should invite him to bring Mello and Near? I am not sure, but after spending so much time with other people, I find myself wanting to explore social circles more thoroughly.
I actually want to make friends.
Alas, my stomach can no longer go without the improper nourishment of constant sugar. I will go call Watari for a bowl of assorted fruit along with my cake and two sandwiches for Raito and Matt. It is now noon and the two of them should be finished with their respective activities. I have just called for Roger to tell the both of them to meet me in this room for lunch. They will be arriving any minute now with the food, so I suppose I should put this notebook away for the time being.
After all, there is always tomorrow.

I'd like to take this time to thank anyone who has read this story. Honestly, I never thought I'd really finish. Although I didn't get to write exactly what I wanted to, I suppose it turned out well. My writing really did imprive over the 36 chapters of this fic. Now I can proudly say that I'm a writer! biggrin
THANK YOU!
