Chapter One

She loved the unique. Strange animals to unique men. Like her two headed snake to her best friend with red eyes.Something about them calmed her down, made her smile. Not because she looked down on them, because she saw them as something special, something that was beautiful. Well, when she saw something out of the ordinary, she wanted it. She would fight for it, protect it, and love it.

It just happen that on her way to her new home for the moment, she saw something strange. It was just a quick glance to her left, she saw a head of feathery white hair, pale skin, and it was in pajamas. She stopped mid-stride, stared at the boy with smile. Her friend seeing her stop looked to see what could distracted his younger half, and frowned.

"Aww, come on now. Don't tell me..." He was interrupted by a stream of words.

"He's perfect, Milo." Was all that the girl had to say before Milo knew it was a lost cause. She said the same thing when she saw her 'baby' hatch at the pet shop. She refused to leave the pet shop until he bought her the two headed snake. He hated when she went like this.

"Who do you think he is?" She said changing directions to cross the street, dragging the reluctant blonde behind her. "I hope he's nice. You think he'll be my friend?"

"If anything, he'll run far away from you like I tried." He said rolling his red eyes. "You're going to get in trouble you know. Your caseworker said to be home by five. It's almost 4:50." He tried to show her his watch, she just ignored it and walked on. She was on a mission.

The poor boy was looking through a window at a puzzle set. It was a thousand piece 3-D puzzle, limited edition. The girl stopped and stood next to him, staring at him. She couldn't help but sigh. He truly was near perfection. And almost hers.

"Hi!" She shouted to bring the boy out of his trance. He blinked several times before turning his head to face her. "I'm Alexx, what's your name?"

He stared. Not sure why this strange girl was talking to him. Or why there was a Mello look-a-like holding his head in embarrassment. Maybe she was talking to someone else. Highly unlikely.

"Well, you do have a name don't ya?" She must be an American by her accent.

He blinked again. "Near." He tried to focus on the puzzle he wanted.

"Where do you live? I live on... Milo, what was it again?" She said turning to the other boy. He groaned.

"Loveless Lane... Where you should be right now." He stared at Near with intense red eyes. He was pissed at him. But why?

"Loveless Lane, how unusual, the only place on that street is the orphanage." Near said suddenly interested. He never saw her at Wammy's.

Suddenly, the girl was pulled backward and the boy was dragging her. "I am not going to get in trouble because of your fetish." He said stomping away. Alexx just pouted and protesting, saying he was being unfair. She look like a kid who had her cookie stolen from her. Or her favorite toy.

"Wait, fetish?" Near said watching the girl fight the boy as they disappeared around the corner.

Alexx quit biting Milo's hand as they approached the mansion. She didn't quite expect it to be so big. Or intact.

"You think they fed Neko and Inu?" She said once again thinking about her pet snake. "They haven't been fed since we left America. They have to be hungry. Did you know I found one of their skins the other day? It was almost intact..."

Milo blocked out the teen and wonder why he agreed to move to Europe with her. He just had to talk to the silent girl on the bus. And now, he was stuck with her two years later, babysitting her between trips at foster homes. But she was entertaining, she told him stuff that he never knew about the 'system' as she called it. It came in handy when he was put in foster care.

"Milo, do you still own those black leather pants?" That some how got passed the mental block he tried so hard to keep up.

"Yes, why?" He loved those pants. Hardly wore them, except that day at school when Alexx bet him too for a dress down day. He told her to wear a pink dress. She wanted to see him in leather, so she did.

"You are soooo gay." She said running threw the door, to safety.

He begin to fume. The nerve of that girl. "What did you say?! Come back here you little shit!"

She ran threw the door and down the empty hallway, and into an office. She stopped in her steps as she saw a man sat in a chair holding papers between his thumb and index finger. He was also sitting in his chair, his knees drawn up to his chest. She stared at the strange man. Baggy eyes, plain white shirt, pale blue jeans, and no shoes. So... unique.

"Ah, Miss Alexx. You're late." He gently placed the papers down and picked up her baby. He stared at it while the two heads fought over the body, each wanting to go in different directions. Finally, the battle ended with Neko, the head on the left, winning and crawling up the man's arm.

"I'm sorry, I got lost on the way here." She said slightly bending the truth. Footsteps could be heard echoing through the hall. The sound of worn out converses hitting the floor, it brought on a conditioned reflex. Alexx walked over to the door and waited until she saw the familiar blonde blur turn into the room, her foot slowly reached out with out her knowing, and the blonde tumbled in. He hit his head on the desk, cussed some colorful words, and landed on his face.

The man rose slightly, glanced at the blonde, and chuckled. "Mihael, you know there is no running inside."

"Sorry..." She said leaning over the blonde after realizing that it wasn't her friend. The blonde rose his head and stared at her with cold blue eyes. If looks could kill... She would be six feet under, rotting in an unmarked grave wrapped in a garbage bag.

He stood up and cornered her against the wall. "Your gonna fucking pay for that." He whispered. His threat was interrupted by the man behind the desk clearing his throat.

"Mihael, no threating the new residents. You might regret it." He said flipping through Alexx's three inch file. Very interesting events happened in her life. Most she caused. Work of a true genius.

"Now, Miheal..."

"It's Mello for the fucking last time!" Mihael shouted over the man.

"... will you please come back after we finish her paperwork." It wasn't a question, it was a command.

"But... But... Near ran off again!" He said with a smile of satisfaction.
