This font is used for author's notes: This fiction is written by 'Danielle' of 'Us Odd Ones' (yes, we are actually 3 different people) who wants to give you a small note before you read or get irritated due to predictions. NO, THEY DO NOT MAKE OUT IN THE CLOSET or something like that. This is a built and developed story, and will not start with any real romance. There will be no hint of romance for a bit, so I can actually build everything up and have a real plot.

~I mean no offense to one-shots that start with romance. Since you are One-shots! Not full-fledged stories and plots!~

This note will be continued at the end of this 'chapter'

The door is smooth, painted white. It doesn't glow, maybe a glow would be... Comforting. Yes, comforting. Though the glow of my phone will have to do. It emanates a dull light, giving me a look into the room which lies outside the wooden door. A sparse and dimly lit apartment. Two small chairs. One wooden and facing the television. The other is a black office chair, one of the padded adjustable ones with wheels. It stands by a giant desk with a large computer monitor, paired with a small and smooth black keyboard. The most intimidating thing I see is at the right side of my screen. A...

Man. But I don't really like that title.

An Ex. Detective, donning a light grey shirt and loose pair of jeans. I want to scrape my nail against the door, and just wait until it is pushed open gently as he calls security to drag me away from his room, and put me back in mine. Instead, I try to replay events that led me here. Maybe I will look calm when he come in. On my phone, completely calm. apologising sincerely when I notice that he has found me. I am pretty sure that the idea is stupid, but I'm past caring.

I am Alexis Xanders. College student. Nineteen, almost twenty years old. I am in Tokyo, Japan instead of home in Portland, Oregon. I am taking a semester abroad to study art here. I am here with my friend, Nicole Thomson, who is here to study technology. We settled in our apartment earlier today. Niki left for groceries. I left to explore.

I saw people..

I blink and sit down, curling up with my back against the wall. Next I went back upstairs and found Niki.

No. I'm skipping things and I know it. Maybe I could... Take a nap. Have a dream that finishes this business up. Because this is a dream, just one that has continued through many nights for years. One that has turned into a nightmare, never to be finished. Because if this wasn't all a dream, Light would have to be alive.

He isn't.

He can't be.

So, I would wake up later to Nicole staring at me and scolding me because I was sleeping, and she had plans of... Going on the internet. And she 'needed' me for this. Probably hoping to tell me about the newest memes and edits on tumblr that she's discovered. I can't wait for that to happen. I just can't wait...

But that isn't happening. That won't be happening for a while. Not until I get out. Not until I fix this, I finish all of this. Because I can't wait to tell. Maybe, just maybe, they would notice me. That was what I used to think, in highschool when the case started. I was practically an obsessive fangirl, one that didn't quite realize what she was watching. That long and lost fangirl had made her way back out with the help of some prodding by Nicole. Because Niki thinks I like him. So she had us follow him so she could be some creeper, just how she likes it, and I had a chance to run into him. I don't 'like' him, I was shocked. Not by any amazing looks, because he doesn't have those. I was shocked because he was dead, and I saw him die. Then, after years under that impression, I find that he is alive. Who wouldn't be shocked..?

I refocus on my phone. The door to the outside of the apartment is unchanged, but L is no longer visible. It's because he didn't walk out of the apartment, he went further in.

A sliver of light appears in the closet.

Smallest chapter ever. I will make sure the others are longer, the intro to the story didn't need all that much, though. Comments and follows are EXTEREMELY motivating, so if you get the chance to comment PLEASE do.
