Death note 1.5
Wammy's house was always so empty without A here, B thought as he walked down the deserted hall way, the air filled with the smell of micro waved hot dogs. He looked at his hands and thought sadly of his lost childhood. He was now 17 years of age, he was still a boy without a single thought of the future ahead of him. Beyond Birthday glanced at some other kids running past him and thought of A for only a moment. Suicide, how weak. She had been to pressure to finish her case, and even though she was two years older than him, he was the most mature out of the two. She had been his one friend, other than L… NO. L was not a friend, he was only a competitor, someone who had to be dealt with. A had had a chance to get out of Wammy's house and she blew it. It was all the same for everybody else, they're all pathetic fools, Beyond thought, and entered the dining room. A swarm of successors were gathered around the counter, trying to grab a hot dog as fast as there grubby hands could manage. B scowled, what pigs… A never ate like that, nor L. L ate worse than all of them combined. The only people he didn't see in the room were Near and Mello. Not that he cared. Mello never had any preference for food, other than chocolate, and Near never ate anything in front of anybody, so this was not at all unusual. What Beyond Birthday found unusual was that Near and Mello were in the same room, and that B was watching them from a distance. Near was finishing another one of his blank puzzles, and Mello was chewing a chocolate bar quietly. Mello seemed captivated at Nears almost finished puzzle. The blond almost seemed to be thinking about strategies to beat near at his own puzzle. Near sat nearby, no emotion showing on his face, no frustration. What twerps. Thinking their better than everybody." B thought as he chewed his finger nail, looking into the room.
"Mello, what do you think L has in store for us?" Mello looked at Near as he took a big chunk out of his chocolate bar. "Well, I think that we will be doing another test for us soon, maybe we'll meet him again." Mello smiled to himself as he thought back to when he finally got to see the legendary L, the room quiet with only the top 2 Wammy students, himself and Near. B found this scene uninteresting and left, his feet dragging along the floor as he picked up the last hot dog on the silver platter and shoved it into his mouth.
It was like rubber, like everything they ate there, maybe except the breakfasts. B moved along and went into the room in which S and J where playing chess. S was number 23 on the list, one of the last, out of 29. J was number 12 on the list, not so bad considering he was only 10. There were other Wammy houses, but this was the main house where the top 30 go. Of course A was gone so that explains why there are now only 29. The only time someone can get into the main house is when the number one spot opens up, and since Near is number one, and since he is not gone, no one has come to fill the spot.
"Hey, S, J, what do you think of L?" B sat gingerly on the nearest couch. He heard J laugh and answer in his squeaky voice,
"He must be awesome, since he can solve so many cases! But he seems like a coward, you know, not showing himself all of the time." B saw S shake her head, looking at J with wild eyes.
"How dare you say that about the greatest detective in the world? And who said L was a man? I think SHE's a woman!" S could be very arrogant, but she could tell if you where lying, even if you where a professional actor. And she was almost as pretty as A. B smiled at S and left, not bothering to say good bye.
"H-hey, B." he looked down the hall as he saw H walk towards him. She was shy but a nice girl if you knew her yourself. She was only about 16 or 17, he didn't know which and knew that she was number 4 in the list, he was number 5.
"B, I… um…" she looked away for a second and he saw something sparkle in the light. Besides A, H was one of the nicest persons he knew.
"Is D hurting you again?" D was her roommate, who liked to pull monthly pranks. B sighed as she nodded.
"I don't know how this happens to you! Your number 4 for L's sake!" she shrugged as she turned towards him, her eyes somewhat red.
"B, someone took a whole jar of jelly and filled my bed with it!" he saw now the big red stain on her back. What a horrible use for jelly! B sighed and smiled at her, so as to calm her down.
"Come on. You can take some cloths from A." A used to be his roommate, but they had a curtain as a separation between rooms. B led H to his own room, where she had been multiple times to talk with him about upcoming tests.
H smiled as she saw him led her along the hallway, he was almost 3 inches taller than her, and his black hair combed for once. She raked her fingers threw her own black hair, still sleek and smooth from this morning. She looked at him and wondered what his name was, as she had done multiple times, thinking of possibilities during her classes. Thinking of him just made her happy. He was the only person who would talk to her. She was always ignored by everyone, except the occasional prank and when the kitchen forgot to feed her. B reminded her of her own father, except B was more loving and soft. And besides that, he never lifted a hand towards her. H once had a family, one that she would rather forget, the only thing that she would rather not have known. H had only gone to B for comfort, but recently, she felt herself looking in his direction, to see what he was up to next, to see if he was chewing on his thumb or not. H had been an accident from the beginning. She even had met A and B on accident. But B had sparked something in her, may it be recognition or annoyance, she did not know, at the time. But as she talked with him about her troubles, he himself had unknowingly opened up to her. She knew he was the start of something, she just didn't know of what.
"Here we are." B unlocked the door and swung it open, quietly and led H into the room that was once A's.
"Let's see what happens, A" B mumbled and knew that this would be no ordinary meeting.
