Disclaimer: If I owned Death Note, Kiri would REALLY be in the story line.
"Watari. "
A man turned around at the sound of his name. His appearance – there was a small bald patch on the very tip of his head. He sprouted a white moustache just underneath his nose, and his eyes were nothing but tiny slits.
"Yes, Roger?"
"New students for the orphanage. Together since birth, but no memory of their parents."
The man named Watari inclined his head to peer over at them through his oval-shaped spectacles. A miniscule hand was clutched in Roger's right hand. A little, pale girl with hazel eyes stared up at Watari with a obvious shade of pink on her cheeks. Her silver-blue hair was tied in two ponytails, each of which ending delicate curls like croissants, ending at her waist. Another petite hand grabbed Roger's other hand. He had blonde hair – shoulder length – and piercing blue eyes. In contrast, his brow was creased with expectancy and impatience as he munched on a chocolate bar.
"Their names, please?"
"Noberu Kaoku and Miheal Keehl. Alias Kiri and Mello."
Watari muttered an "mm" in acknowledgement. Wammy's House was meant for gifted orphans, all for the sake of finding a replacement for L – the world's greatest detective.
"Their scores on the test were…?"
"Both scored 97, but I think they would have gotten full marks if they weren't so careless."
"…mm. We'll work on that. Won't we, Mello? Kiri?"
Kiri stared at her feet, while Mello just gave a non-commital grunt in reply.
…
…
…
"Uwaah! Mello and Kiri got highest again!"
"What the hell?! Again?!"
Mello glared at the people staring at his paper over his shoulder. Sensing danger, the dashed off. He grumbled and took a bite of his chocolate bar before staring at his paper. 98.5. Good, but not good enough. He didn't get a 100, but…
Kao-chan, got the same, anyway. So I shouldn't be bothered…
"Oi! Kao-chan!"
Kiri looked up from her paper. As usual, she was blushing furiously at the sight of her results. Not that she doesn't blush a lot most of the time, Mello thought, turning towards her.
"Ah! M-Mello-sama..." She jumped. Mello had a quick flashback on the day he had learned all the honorifics, and later telling her to add a "-sama" at the end of his name.
"Same marks again? Which questions did you get wro-"
"SETTLE DOWN, CLASS!" Roger was bellowing. His loud voice had worked its intended effect. "Yes, yes. Mello and Kiri topped the class again, followed closely by Matt… Mello, chocolate isn't allowed in the classroom! I told you before-"
"- that you'll cut off my chocolate supply if I did this again?" Mello grinned. "I have a huge stash somewhere in my room…"
"Just sit down and keep the chocolate away or I'll deduct marks!"
"Mello-sama, listen to what Roger-sensei has to say…" Kiri muttered pleadingly. For a moment, blue eyes met hazel ones. Mello faltered under her gaze; a blush slowly creeping to his cheeks.
Mello grumbled to himself. "Hai, sensei."
I just felt like ending this chapter here for now, because I don't know how to continue it. And It's my first time writing a DN story, and first time writing a fanfic with an OC, so critisism is also appreciated to improve my skills. By the way, I gave up my other fanfic because I'm too lazy to continue and the story was crumbling, anyway. Oh, and some phrases were learnt from the ALL-TIME-PRO JK Rowling. XD XD
