Author's Note: Okay, here's the thing; I'm new here. Super duper uber new. This is my first story here, so of course I haven't gotten everything figured out. If the format's crappy, please, PLEASE just try to ignore it. I'm a bit of a slow learner when it comes to these things. Also, Maiima Neruken and Selini Rokera are my two main OCs. Maiima is called Nerumi Aima, Selini is called Roki Sera. Those are aliases they live under, not two different people.
Disclaimer: If Death Note were mine, Light would be locked in a loony bin and Takada and Misa would be hanging from their thumbs in Greenland. The OCs are mine, don't touch those. The lyrics included in this chapter are mine, not my best, but still mine. No touchy. LET IT BEGIN!

"You're sure these are the girls?"
"Of course. These are the pictures that Watari mailed us."
Matt looked down at the pictures in his hand. They were concert photos, backstage at a Roki Neru Sera Ai show in Tokyo four months ago. The backs of the photos read "Maiima Neruken" and "Selini Rokera" and held images of two girls with bright hair and familiar features. "So these are the girls who almost took our places?"
Mello snorted. "No. They would have been ranked as a tie for fourth in line."
"And we're sure they can help us?"
"Well," the blonde began, "we know that Maiima will. Not only is she against Kira, she hated Near the second she saw him and she's said that she'd do anything to help in the fight against Kira. But the Rokera girl is a Kira supporter. That doesn't mean that she can't still help us, though."
Matt nodded, setting the pictures on the dash board and pushing his goggles a little higher.

"It's such a nice night for lighting this town
Aflame
And when we're the only ones around
there's no one no one else to blame
We gotta step up and take
the punishment proudly
Commit the crime, do inevitable time
If nothing else, then for the glory
But oh with the far-too-specific
Death-bringing consequences
It's such a shame
It's such a shame
It's such a shame
We're the only ones around tonight
To take the blame!," the voice of Roki Sera rang out through the concert hall, echoing as the song came to an end and her band members stopped playing.
A blonde man and another man in goggles stood, from their place in the back row of the hall, and began walking towards the stage that now held four of the five members of Roki Neru Sera Ai. Their steps were only halted by a high-pitched scream as a mass of pale skin and green hair landed in front of them, standing and sprinting for the stage. "GUYS, THAT WAS EPIC! We are going to kick ASS tonight!"
The man in goggles raised an eyebrow, looking at his partner for answers. The blonde man's eye twitched as he spoke. "That's Maiima Neruken. You have to call her Nerumi while in front of others." His friend nodded, looking back towards the stage and following the blonde as he began walking again.
A man in a black suit, no doubt a body guard, walked up behind Nerumi, tapped her shoulder, and pointed to the two men approaching the stage. The girl turned around, eyes widening, and immediately jumped off the stage, once again running at full speed. She nearly sent Mello to the ground, wrapping her arms around him in a near-violent hug. "Mello! You're okay! Thank God, I thought you'd gotten shot or something!" She stepped back, grinning at him. Then her eyes widened, and she bit her lip, turning around to face her band members. "Um, Roki, c'mere. And guys, can y'all uh... Go get the new drum set out of the truck outside?"
Kat and Eddie nodded, setting down their instruments. Lisabethe glared at Maiima, stepped back from her keyboard, and half-stomped out of the concert hall. Selini rolled her eyes, setting her guitar down and walking towards the trio. She gave Mello a hesitant hug and waved at Matt. Maiima turned back to them, done glaring at the door Lisabethe had exited through. "So why are you guys here? I haven't seen y'all for three years."
"You know that L's been killed by Kira, and you know that Near was named his successor, right?" Mello already knew the answer, and the look on her face just confirmed it. "We're here to ask for your help in catching Kira, so I can take my rightful spot as L's successor, instead of that albino brat."
Maiima nodded instantly. "You actually had to ask for my help? I would've thought the answer to be obvious. I was always in favor of you two, and I know damn good and well that you're both aware of my anti-Kira stance."
"We're not here to persuade you." Mello turned his gaze towards Selini, who was almost glaring at him. "We're here to persuade you."
"Well then you've wasted time and gas. I'm not doing it. What Kira is doing is right and needed in this world."
Mello smirked, as Matt grabbed Maiima around the waist and pulled her twenty steps back with him. Faster than lightning, Mello had a gun in his hand, pointed at the wide-eyed Britian-native in front of him. "Persuasion isn't always pleasant."
A/N: Unlike most authors I've seen around here, I'm not driven by reviews. The extra motivation is nice, but don't worry, I will never make you guys review to get the next chapter. xD Just expect the next chapter... Whenever I get it written.
