I don't think your ready

Chapter 1

L

I was shocked when I heard the news. "L is dead," said Roger, putting his head down. I sat in between Near, my twin brother, and Mello, my best friend and secret crush for 5 years. (Mello age 14, Near age 12-13). L was very close to me. I was one of his successors ,you know. I had spent the first 9 years of my life under L's shadow and finally one day L decided I had learned everything I need to learn about being a detective and that I need to learn the basics of normal things. The only reason L took my instead of Near is because of my specialties. These specialties including mind reading, abilities to sense danger, determine death (my power that scared me the most) and abilities that are ridiculous like force field protection, and mind manipulation. I was called a Sentaku (chosen in Japanese). Both Near, Mello, Matt, and L knew of my powers but no one else. Even because of my specialties Near was always head of Whammy's and my and Mello where always tied for second.

"So? Who did he pick? Me, Emerald, or Near?" yelled Mello, getting out of his seat. I used my powers to calm him down a bit. He turned to me "Emmy! Stop it, I need to get my anger out." He said to me. "Chill, Mello. Yelling isn't going to bring him back." I say. Me and Mello are best friends. He was hesitant to even look at me when we met (thanks to my brother) but over time he saw I was NOT like my brother and more like Mello. I could easily get emotion, and sometimes it got the better of me. Mello ignored me and turned to Roger. "WELL!". Roger sighed "He never picked, and not he won't be able too.". That threw me over the edge. "What? What do you mean 'he ain't pick?'" I said standing up. " 'didn't pick' grammar errors." he said avoiding the problem. "Then it hit me. We were here talking about who gets to be L but not L himself. "H-How did he die." I ask. "Was is Kira?" Mello asked/screamed. "We believe so." said Roger. My mind black out. I wasn't listen to Mello's Rant. 'Kira? But how, no, this must be a mistake! L was strong than that. He knew who Kira was- so, he had to be illuminated. I got snapped out of my thought when heard a ridiculous statement. "Why don't you three work together?" said Roger. "HA!" I said, "You must have never met Mello." I say sitting down. "You know what, maybe Near should be L, he doesn't get emotional like I do," "Mello, I" I said but he cut me off. "Whatever I'm leaving this damn institute. I'm almost 15! Time I start living my own life." I was shocked. I heard Roger's office door slam. I got up and headed for the door. "Where are you going Emerald? You really aren't considering going with him? Are you?" asked Roger. I turned toward him with tears in my eyes. "Are you two out your damn minds? Your just going to let him leave? Whatever, don't answer. But if he leaves I leave too." I say opening the door. "Emerald! Your one of the most valuable students you can't leave." yelled Roger. "It's because of my powers, ain't it? Not because of my smarts. To tell you the truth I always wanted to leave. I never wanted L to bring me here." I said walking out the door. I had to find Mello. And Fast.

I found him in his room, packing his bag. "Mello," I say. "Save it, I'm leaving. That's finally." he said. I nod. "Take me with you ,please. Don't leave me here with Near. Take me and Matt. " I ask. He shakes his head. "Let it go, Emmy. I'm leaving." my tears spilled over. I went over to my bed and lifted the corner of my mattress. There had to be at least 360 dollars. I picked up the money and went back over to the saddened blonde. "If you let me follow, then I can support us all. Me, Matt, and you. I'll even get a job. Please?" I ask. He glanced at me and then the money. He picked it up and counted threw it in a matter of seconds. He gave me a small nod. "We may need to get jobs." he said. I say next to him. "Where are exactly are we going?" I asked. He didn't answer for a couple of seconds. "Los Angela, were join the mafia, they have strong Allies we can use to catch Kira. Your powers can also help. You can't be killed because no one knows your name. What is it anyway?" he asked. My heart skipped. I didn't know my name. My name was S, but I used Emerald because that was my favorite color. "I honestly, don't know. People always called me S, and sense I'm and orphan I don't know." I say. Mello narrowed his eyes at me. "But isn't Near your brother, your blood twin brother?" he asks. "Yes, but I was unwanted by my parents from the start, therefore they refused to name me. I recall they called me 'it' or 'the kid'. Later when they died when I was 4, I had yet to be named. So when L found me he named me E for Extraordinary ." I say explaining. Mello looked astonished. "You don't have a name? " he asked. "No." I say pulling out my luggage. I opened it, my clothes were already packed. Well, never unpacked. Everyday I get dressed at night I'd wash it and refold it in the luggage. Matt strolled in. "I'm in, I'm coming," he said nearly shouting over the sound of guns and grenades from his game. "Not if your broke." said Mello. Matt frowned. "I only got 420 saved. " he pouted. "Good enough," Mello said zipping up his luggage. "Were joining the mafia." I told matt. "Cool, like grand thief auto?" he said. "I thought it would be more like the Sopranos." I said. "Well need new wardrobe if we stay like this we could be easily spotted, well go to the store tomorrow and then were off." said Mello. "Cool, I want to be a Lolita!" I say. "No, that'll way you down, plus there weird." he said. "How about bad girl or harajuku?" I ask. "There okay." I smile. "I'll be back." I say walking out the large room into the hallway, which was still buzzing with children. "I heard that she's leaving with Mello, such a kiss up!" whispered one girl to another. That's one thing I learned about being Mello's friend. Mello is described as a bad boy, and with every bad boy there are the bad boy lovers. I like Mello, too and had a crush on him for many years now. It's obvious I like him but either he is oblivious to it or just doesn't give a damn. But then there are the other girls. The girly ones that never got close to Mello like I did. They occasionally picked on me, causing me to get into a lot of fights, and empting out Matt's pockets because he has to continuously buy us chocolate to calm me and Mello down.

I walked past the two girls and continued to down the hall. I stopped at a white door with the name 'Near' on a name plate drilled to the door. I walked in, I don't bother to knock because he'll probably know it's me. Who else would come into the albino's room. "Near?" I ask as I look at the small boy sitting in the middle of the floor. "What?" he asks. " Are you okay? You know, with me leaving?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Why are you even friends with that blonde-haired menace? He's not a good friend. Remember the time he beat you down because he was mad at me?" he asks. I remember, I had pushed him to 3rd place once, and he hit me and kicked him repeatedly. Thank god for Matt, but after that I had to spend a week in the infirmary. "He apologize though, plus when he's not mad he's kind of cool to hang around." I say looking down. "Don't let your foolish crush blind you, Emerald. " he says beginning to stack some dice. "I'm not just a 'foolish crush' Near, you'd know that if you actually tried talking to us once in a while. Me and Mello are best friends, and where ever he goes, I go. You'd do it too if you actually had a friend!" I said and immediately regretted it. "Get out, now!" said Near, he sound hurt. "Near, I didn't mean I-" I say "Get out, leave me alone. I don't care if you go or not." he interrupted. I frowned but did as he said. I sat outside his door. "You don't have to stay out there," said Near from inside. I sighed mentally and went back to the room me and the Red and Blonde headed boys shared. I sat down on my bed, and looked at Matt who was on my laptop. "I got the train tickets.

There for tomorrow at 5:30. Mel, you know where the Mafia hideout is right." asked Matt. Mello nodded. "Where taking a train? Why?" I ask. "Less security, more safe. " answers Mello. I nod. " We need new wardrobe, fake ID's and lots more. " I say out of the blue. "why?" ask Matt. " We could be easily identified in these clothes, ID's can let us do more things like get better jobs, come in possession of some guns, and stuff." I say. They nod. "We can get new clothes tomorrow. But for now, tomorrows going to be a long day. We got to get some rest. After Dinner we got to go strait to bed.

"Okay." both me and Matt agree. I take out me dairy and begin to write.

Dear Diary,

Tomorrow me and Mello are leaving Wammy's, finally! I regret the day L brought me here. But L's gone so, there's nothing stopping me, right? But I am hurting that L is gone. He was like a father to me. I was almost sure he'd pick me as his successor until I met Mello. I am excited though, Me and Mello can finally leave his little fan girls. It's just me, him, and Matt. The only thing pulling at my soul is Near. Even though me and Near are complete opposites in personality, we are still twins, were still siblings. Maybe one day I'll see him again but either way I'm going with Mello, the boy I love. I deserve to go with him right? I've waited 5 years for him to realize I wasn't just a video playing, chocolate loving girl, but that I'm actually useful. But the nightmares have been coming again, getting worse and worse. Every day I check Mello's life span, and it's getting lower and lower. Less than 7 years now. But when he dies, I know exactly what to do. It'll possible kill me or halves my life but I'll be worth it, eventually. I know Mello will be the one to catch Kira. With me at his side.

Signed Emerald (Mello's crush)

I closed the small red book and put it in my luggage. I saw Mello looking at me. I smiled at him and got up to go to the bathroom, damn you mountain dew!

Mello's POV-YAY!

I saw her get up and head for the bathroom, perfect. I slipped my hand into her luggage. "Mello, you shouldn't do that. " said Matt. "Yea but I don't care." I say flipping threw the pages until the latest entry. I quickly read threw the short paragraph. My mouth fell open. She would die for me? My life span? She loves me? Why me, like really? I was so wrapped up in the questions buzzing in me head I didn't even realize when Emmy came out the bathroom. "MELLO!" she scream swiping the book out my hands. I looked up. "What did you read? How much do you know?" she asked angry. She glanced at the page. Her eyes grew wide. "Mello... how much did you read?" she asked. "All of it. And I don't like you, I like Kat, you know that. " the book dropped from her hands. Kat was the most popular orphan of the orphanage. She was dumb almost last on the list but she made up what lacked in smarts with glamour. "That's why I didn't tell you Mello. I knew you'd reject me. " She says tears brimming. "Emerald! Please don't cry! we can just me friends, right?" I ask. "You know what? Right now, I don't even feel like being your friend. She said walking out the door, closing it with a loud BAM!

Emerald's POV-

I don't know if I'm going with Mello now, but right now I knew what to do.
