A/N: This is my second Death Note fic, but the is the first I have actually posted. I really hope you enjoy this. Whether you do or not, please review. It would really be appreciated. If you choose to review, please don't be afraid to include what needs to be improved in your feedback. Chapters will get longer as the story progresses. Well, anyway, please enjoy!

Disclaimer: Seriously, I don't own Death Note. If I did, I'd make little clones of Mikami pop up in the manga and anime saying "Sakujo" randomly. I'd also make Wammy's House the main focus.

CHAPTER 1

Mello layed there in his bed, staring at the clock on the wall. The time moved from 2:54 am to 2:55. He couldn't sleep. Near had dared Matt and Mello to spend a night in the house at the end of the street near Wammy's... the house that people claimed to be haunted. The night they were to stay over was he next night. And believe it or not, Mello was terrified. Of course, he would never admit that.

"Mello..."

Said blonde snapped out of his daze and hung his head over the edge of the top bunk of the bunk bed he shared. He looked at Matt upside down, his hair hanging loose below him. "You're still awake?"

"I can't sleep. I'm not tired. I didn't really expect you to still be awake, though."

Lightning crashed down to the ground, sending a temporary flash of light in their room, causing Mello to lose his balamce and fall off the bunk.

"Mel!" Matt jumped up and caught the slightly frightened boy before he hit the ground.

"Thanks..." He muttered as he got up and sat on the red-head's bed.

Matt plopped down beside Mello and felt his forehead. "You don't look so good... you okay?"

"Fine," He gently pushed Matt's hand away.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

The two roommates both jumped up. "Linda!" They ran out of their bedroom door, knowing their female friend's voice anywhere.

"Don't touch me!" The young girl shrieked as she pushed away one of the guys crowding around her. The 'bullies' knew that they were less likely to get caught if they attacked their prey in the night.

Another teenage boy pushed her into the wall, holding her up. He smirked and smashed his lips onto her own by force.

"GAH!" The boy crashed down to the ground after being kicked in the side by a certain blonde.

"You'll fucking pay for that..." Mello hissed in a dangerous tone.

Matt helped Linda regain her composure and told her to go back to his room. "We'll meet you there! GO!"

As soon as Linda left, Mello and Matt started to beat the guys that violated their friend. After about 10 minutes, they opened the door to their room and walked in, seeing Linda sitting politely on Matt's bed.

"Linda! Are you okay?" The gamer asked in a worried tone.

Linda nodded and thanked the two. "I guess I better get back to my room..."

"We'll walk you there," Mello offered, since Linda's room was at the other side of the orphanage.

The three walked out of their room and soon were standing outside of the female's room. Linda thank Mello and Matt again and hugged them both before quietly entering her room.

Once again in their own room, the blonde and the red-head had finally been able to fall asleep, even though the morning had almost arrived.
