Hi! ^-^ Forgive me this is my first fanfic, I could quite suck at this, but I'm trying my best.
SPOILER: There's no Kira case. L is only solving a case that's like 'this guy kidnaps kids, rapes them after that, kills them'. But still, there's Light assisting him with the case (no, he's not L's Watari.)
Enjoy!
The sun was hiden beneath those white puffs of water. The wind blew gently on my black hair. I grasped my scarf and shivered. I have never knew it was this cold at England! Even at summer.
This is the day...
I sighed as I found myself in the dark and rusty gates of Wammy House, in Winchester, England.
It only felt seconds,...
"J, this is your first day at the orphanage. Well, this isn't any kind of orphanage. You see, there's the World's Greatest. This orphanage is built to succeed the World's Greatest Detective, - which is unknown to most people - L.
"The children here in Wammy's have knowledge beyond their age, thats what's makes them unique.
"The world isn't safe anymore, so that's why you need an alias."
I nodded in understanding. Gynn (my dog) looked at me with his puppy eyes and whimpered. "Shh.. It's okay, boy. You're with me now, right?" I hushed. I kneeled down beside him and patted his chocolate brown fur.
"Umm... Sir?"
"Yes?" he replied without looking away from his search.
"Can I keep my dog? Please, sir. I really need to keep him. If I lost him, it's like,... half of my life had been took away from me."
"As you wish, but you need to change it's name and collar. Yours too. I need to find your documents here,... I placed it somewhere here..."
"Sir, maybe it's on your desk."
"Oh! Thank you, dear."
He flipped through the folder which was stamped with a nice, big, red 'TOP SECRET'.
"hmm.. let's see here... Your name's Jamie, yes?"
"Yes, sir."
"From the Philippines. You're 13 years old. Your family took a vacation here in England, and died on a car accident here."
"Yes, sir." I answered casually. Like death wasn't a big deal. Reviving the memory would just break my sanity.
"Now what would you want your alias be?"
I started to think an odd name,... something far from my persona... something like,...
"Yuue." (You-u)
"Yuue? As you wish. And your dog?"
"Inu."
"Perfect. Your now complete. Now, I'm going to find a spare room for you in the girls domitories. You may seat down for a while,... By the way, it's Roger."
I nodded. I ushered for my dog to follow me by the couch just beside Roger's desk. Inu hoped on my lap and started to take a short nap. I carressed it's fur absent-mindly.
What if the people won't accept me here? What if I don't have friends here? Oh well, at least I have Inu. I guess I have to accept the fact that I'm 'forever alone' if I don't get along with people.
Roger looked up to me with an apologetic face.
"Sorry, Yuue. But the girls dorm are already full. There are already 3 per rooms, that's the maximum. Maybe you can go to the boy's dorm, perhaps? I've seen in your file that you are 'more close to boys than girls ever since you where born', maybe you can get along with them."
"It's okay, Roger."
"Okay. Now your bags and suitcases are in your room. I'll lead you to it."
I nodded and began to lightly pat Inu's head. He hoped from the seat and followed me and Roger outside his office. We silently walked into hallways and rooms. We passed the girls domitories. The students where whispering to each other, as if I'm a criminal. I felt a poke on my shoulder. I looked to see a slightly dark tanned, blonde girl looking at me with light, blue eyes.
"Hi! I'm Claudia. Are you new here?"
"Hello. I'm Yuue. Yes, I'm new here." I replied rather awkwardly, trying to be polite. I never had a 'get to meet' conversation with a girl before.
"Shouldn't you be here in the girl's domitories? Why is Roger leading you down to the boy's domitories?"
"Roger said that the girl's domitories are already full. So he asked me to be in the boy's domitories."
"Okay. Oh! What a cute dog! What's it's name? How did you bring it inside the orphanage?"
"His name is Inu. He's a labrador. I pleaded Roger to let him stay with me because I grew up with him. If I lost him, it's like half of my life is already lost."
"Oh,... Okay. See you around, Yuue!" She waved and ran down to her room.
I smiled a little before tugging lightly on my dog's collar.
"Okay here's your room. You are rooming with the 2nd and 3rd of Wammy's. Mello and Matt. Try your best to get along with them okay?"
He opened the door for me. Revealing a redhead hunchbacked in deep concetration of his video game.
"Roger, Mello's not here. He's downstairs playing."
"No Matt. I'm not asking for Mello. The new kid is here. She'll be happening to share room with you."
"Oh.. o- WAIT... SHE?" the redhead gasped looking up from his game for the first time. I took note of the yellow orange-tinted goggles.
"Yes, she. The girl's domitories are already full. So that's why I'm placing her here."
"But, does Mello know about this? He's going to throw tantrum all about it if he found out that our teritory has been stained!"
"Then tell him, I said so! This girl NEVER had a female friend in her whole life! All of her friends and mates are boys."
"Oh,.. okay. Fine. As long as YOU explain to Mello what happened." He pouted
Roger gave a sigh and nodded. I started to walk to the third bed and started to unpack silently. Inu started to sniff around. He nuzzled his nose on Matt's leg.
"Come on, Mario! Kill that fuck- oh! A lab! How cute! Is he your dog?"
"Yup."
Matt paused his game and started playing with Inu. He grabbed a small tennis ball from his night stand.
"Come on, boy. Catch the ball now!" he cooed then threw the ball across the room. Inu ran and retrieved it, giving it back to Matt.
"Good boy! What's his name? He seems smart."
"His name is Inu. Well, alias, to be exact. He used to be Gynn."
"He's soooo cool.." he cooed.
"Let him smell your hand."
"What?"
"Let him smell your hand. That means he is getting to know you. He doesn't bite. If he licks your hand, it means he accepts your friendship. If he turns away, it means he needs more time."
Matt took the glove out of his right hand let Inu sniff it. Inu sniffed it for a while, then licked it. Matt smiled like a 4-year-old receiving lollipop and patted Inu on the head.
"Weird, huh? I asked the owner of what is the name of his pet, but I haven't even asked the name of the owner. What's your name?"
"Yuue."
"Hmm... your asian. Japanese?"
"No, Filipino."
"Smart choice."
After I sorted my clothes and stored them under my bed (in my bag still. You'll never know when to pack again.). I scurried through my knick-knacks. I put down Inu's food bowl, chew-toy, blanket, brush, shampoo, conditioner, emergency new collars and stuff just for my dog. I found my trusty headstone alarm clock and placed it on my night stand beside my bed. I hung my black, red and white rosaries beside my bed. I placed my accecories and other 'girl stuff' (lotion, powder, makeup etc.) inside the drawer of my nightstand. My manga collections under my bed. My shoes under my bed. I found my laptop, PSP, UMDs, PS3, PS3 discs, gameboy, iPad and phone. I put them all on my bed (for the meantime). Matt glanced at it for a while and grinned. I just knew this guy is a gamer like me. "We'll play later. I need to unpack." I reassured him he nodded and continued playing with Inu.
-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y
I finished unpacking and let myself rest for a while. After that I connected all the wires needed for our PS3 match.
"Hey Matt... Let's play!"
"Yesss!" he cheered
"You choose the game."
I laid out all the disc games that my dad bought for me (before he died).
"Let's play some of my games. I have discs here. Tons of 'em."
"How come you got many discs if you don't have a PS3?"
"PS3 broke a few weeks ago. Gonna make Roger buy me another console. Maybe Xbox."
We played a multiplayer game of Mario Kart. I selected Luigi. He selected Mario. We ended up tie. Always. That was the weird part.
"Your a pro too!" he exclaimed happily.
"A pro gamer? How? I don't play games often. Just computer. And, I haven't even played Mario Kart before!" I stated, bewildered.
"Your hands are skilled. Amost as skilled as mine. And your pale! Even paler than myself, see?"
He lifted up his sleeve and mine, and put his arm beside mine. Comparing our skin tone.
"Gosh. Mello could be a bit angry when you're here."
"Why? Is it because I'm a girl?" I almost spat. I hate it when boys under estimate me just because I'm a girl.
"No. You're pale. Even paler than me. Your pale skin tone would remind him so much of Near..." he sighed.
"Who's Near?"
"He's the smartest of the smartest. He is the first to succeed L; World's Greatest Detective. He's albino and your pale is almost close to albinism."
I gulped.
"Since Mello is 2nd, he was always -cough- jealous -cough, cough- of Near. I don't see the big deal to succeed L first, that's my opinion."
"Nahh,... I don't mind grades here, too. I always the mysterious one in my school. I was always the one who is aggressive to reveal the mysteries of my 'ancient' school. I always get in trouble. In my 5th grade, my adviser didn't like me - though I'm very smart. She tought I was some kind of demon that lurks and poisons innocent brains of people. That's why for the first time ever, I didn't get any award or did the advence test." I chuckled
"You know,... you and Mello can quite get along..."
"How?"
"Well, I saw your the rosaries that hung beside your bed. Your Catholic. Mello is also a Catholic. He takes his religion seriously.
"And also, your sense of style! Look at you! You're all gothic and emo! Black, tight skinnies. Black and red t-shirt. Low-hung dangingling chains and belts -badass! You should've seen Mello in his leather."
"I have wore leather once in the wedding of my cousin. People told me I was hot in the dress but I totally ignored them. My 3rd cousin - the daughter of the cousin of my father - was very jealous of me. She tried making me trip, but I ended up spilling sticky punch on her dress AND
- bonus points - I stomped on her feet and broke her nail with my trusty high heeled leather boots. I was smirking my way to the table." I said, reviving the happy memory. Revenge on that whore was totally worth it. "Haha... Hey mind if I tour you around Wammy's?" Matt asked
"Sure!" I accepted his hand and let hm lead the way. "Wait!" I protested "What is it?" "Inu!" Inu's head perked up and began following us.
~"You big-headed twit!"~
A good game...
I smirked. Sweating like a dog. I ran a hand on my slightly sticky blonde hair.
"Good game, Mello!" Desman greeted holding out a filthy palm to be hit.
"Yeah!" I agreed giving his palm a nice, stingy slap.
"Maybe tomorrow again!" Julles yelled to the others.
We waved others good-bye and we began to return to our rooms.
I walked like a boss in the hallways of Wammys. Gonna grab a bar,... Take a shower,... I mentally noted. Then an old man came to view.
"Mello. We need to talk. This is about your new room mate." Roger said, somewhere between serious and cheery.
"Okay."
"Since the girl's domitiories are already full, she will be your roommate. Matt agreed as long as you don't throw a tantrum about it."
"Wait. A girl in our domitories?" I exclaimed, but I didn't shout. It was more of a gasp. Roger, your very lucky 'cause I'm in a good mood.
"Don't worry, she's not the type of girly-girl like you usually find -cough- -cough- here.
-cough- Infact, she never had a female friend or mate in her whole life! But she's straight."
"Fine, fine. Whatever. But if she pissess me off, she's outta my teritory." I hissed.
He nodded and walked past me without another word.
Better be seeing this,... Boy-friendly girl.
-M-M-M-M
I walked in Matt's, 'new-girl's ' and my room.
The usual a bit messy. But I noticed that the blank bed is now occupied.
Wait... A headstone alarm clock? Black, white, red rosaries!
I smirked to myself.
Guess we'll be getting along after all.
~"I love Gynn! I could never let go of him!"~
"Wow! Wammy's is so big! Maybe I can get lost here..." I murmured looking around.
"You only need to learn the basics. Cafeteria, Common Room, Play rooms, Rooms, Roger's office, the C.R, and the field."
"We haven't visited the field yet?"
"That's the most beautiful part. The fields." Matt stated while we run downstairs.
"Hey, Yuue. How can you go up and down the stairs so fast?"
"Years of practice."
Matt pushed the big, oak doors not far from the Common Room.
"This," he took a deep breath of fresh air "is the outside. It's only ok to go out if there's no sun."
We explored the greenhouses, tool sheds , the garden, the field, the church, the graveyard...
"Now this is the good part. Wammy's have 3 forests. 1 leading to the dark woods. 1 leading to a mountain and spring and 1 to plain fields. You really need to know where's the bad and good paths." he said.
"I want the forest leading to the mountain as my 'peace place'." I softly whispered in the cool air. Letting the wind blow my sleek, black hair. It was the most peaceful thing that I have ever felt in my whole life. I have never felt this peaceful,... so harmonic,...
"Hey, let's sit down over there. Maybe you're getting tired." Matt offered
I sat on the stone bench beside him. I sighed happily. The sun was already getting down, tainting the sky pink, and orange. The stars began to glitter in such excitement.
"Uhh.. Yuue, you can lean on my shoulder if you want..." Matt offered. (take note he's a bit flustered.)
"You know what," I leaned my head on Matt's shoulder "Your the sweetest guy I've ever met..."
I softly closed my eyes for a while, enjoying the moment.
~"Mello, you need to stop picking on the kid. Besides, may be he's human inside."~
The events this day happened so fast.
Now, I'm spending time with this cool girl that I'd just met. She leaned her head on my bony shoulders. I blushed a bit. I enjoyed the scent of her hair, Vanilla. The used to be geeky, Matt, found himself a crush. How wonderful.
I lifted my arm and rested it on her shoulder. Holding her tight beside me.
'You're the sweetest guy I've ever met...'
I've never been this sweet to girls before! They even call me a douch bag or charm-less. I ignored girls whenever, wherever. I just focused on my games. But this time,...
...it's completely different...
She's the only girl who made me pause my game and spend time with her.
I feel her slowly drift to a nap. I lean my head lightly on hers. Hoping that there's no orphan who have spy cameras or shit.
~"I won't stop until I get those emotions out of him!"~
I finished showering. I slipped into another black clad shirt. The same copy what I wore earlier. I dried my hair with the black towel. I grabbed 3 bars of chocolate and wandered off. I wonder where Matt and the new girl would be? Maybe taking a tour on Wammy's? or...
I gasped at the thought.
maybe they're dating!
I snorted at my idea. They only just met! And Matt, well he's too busy with games and Mario. The mischievous feeling faded after a while. I went outside and continued to search for the two.
I opened the big oak doors and closed them again. I let the wind blow my now slightly damped hair. Enjoying the feeling, I closed my eyes for a while. After a few minutes, I strode off to search for my roommates.
I passed the fields, the greenhouses, the church (with a genoflect and sign of a cross, of course.), the tool sheds, the vegetable patches,... No sign of the redhead.
There's only one more place I need to visit; the 3 forests.
I was correct. The two where there. The wind blowing Matt's fiery red hair. But I can see long black hair mixing with red. Is that the new girl?
I squinted at them. They were cuddling! I held back a snort. Matt, the geek of Wammy's, found a crush at last. I approached them. I can't help but smirk at ruining the moment.
"Oi, Matt."
The red-head almost jumped in surprise. He automatically looked in my direction.
"M-Mello?"
"Oh, NO! It's me, Linda." I rolled my eyes.
Matt snorted.
I observed the new girl. She was paler than Matt, but not as pale as Near. Her silky black hair was obviously straightened. She was wearing black skinnies and a chain dangling at the pocket side. I also took notice of the gothic belt she wore. She was wearing a black t-shirt with blood-red sleeves. She was wearing a thin,black and grey striped scarf. The girl was taking a short nap. Then her eyelids fluttered open. It's obvious in her face that she can't stand being stared at. She lifted her head from Matt's shoulder. Matt's arm loosened around her and returned to his lap. She lightly rubbed her eyes. Her nails were painted black. Her fingers were long and slender. She was thin, but not skeletal. Just as thin as Matt.
"Mello, meet Yuue. Yuue, Mello." Matt explained
"Nice to meet you." she held out a pale hand. I nodded and accepted her hand shake. I can't help but notice her dark brown eyes.
"WOOF! WOOF!" a sound came out of nowhere. Yuue broke the hand shake and eye contact and looked at the opposite direction.
"Inu!" she laughed and hugged the chocolate brown labrador.
"Cute dog." I commented
"Thanks."
"Looks like you two are gettin' along now!" Matt said happily
"We have many alike interests." Yuue and I both said at the same time.
"Okay,... Dark twins.." he mumbled. But we decided to ignore it.
"Hey, let's go back now. It's getting dark." I said while looking up to the sky.
"Agree." Matt and Yuue nodded.
"Inu! Come on, boy! We're gonna go inside now." Yuue called to her energetic dog.
"WOOF!" the dog replied, as if understanding what Yuue said.
I chuckled and patted it's chocolate brown fur. It looked at me wth happy eyes and let it's pink tongue danggle out.
"Let him smell your hand." Yuue said looking at me.
"What?" I gasped
"Dude, trust me. It's cool. It's for friendship." Matt reassured.
I held out my hand. Inu sniffed it for a while then licked it happily.
"YAYY!" Matt and Yuue cheered in the common room childishly. They held hands and jumped in circles.
"YAY! YAY! YAY!" They cheered in between of jumps.
"Hey what's the celebration for?" I asked. They've stop jumping. Yuue tried to catch her breath between puffs and pants. Matt kneeled beside Inu who was sitting up with pride.
"When Inu licks your hand it means he accepted your friendship! He'd done it to me too." Matt patted Inu's head again. Inu looked at him and licked his face. "Ha ha!" Matt laughed.
I smiled. After Yuue caught her breath,she spoke "Hey guys, let's go upstairs!" We agreed and let her lead the way. She was a fast as her dog on climbing the stairs.
"How did she got that fast when going up stairs?" I asked
"Years of practice, she said." Matt replied
"And her dog?"
"Same."
We arrived at our room at the 2nd floor. Yuue opened the door and collapsed on her bed.
"Egh,.. these sheets are stinky,... I wanna change it..." Yuue groaned on her pillow.
She stood up, took the baggage under her bed and took out thin blood red sheets, gray pillowcases, grey comforter that has splatters of blood for a design. She changed the sheets, pillowcases and blanket in no time. After 3 minutes, she was done. She tossed the stinky, old, white sheets in the laundry basket.
"Done!" she sighed happily
"That was fast!" Matt exclaimed
"I got used to it. I usually am the one to arrange the bed and change the sheets on our home."
She scurried on her bag again and brought out 2 more sets and tossed them to us. The all black set was tossed to me. The comforter was black and had a gigantic skull on the middle of it for design. Matt was tossed with black and white striped comforter and sheets the pillow was designed with the face of Mario but black and white.
"What for?" I asked.
"Smell your pillow." Yuue said.
We both sniffed our pillows. They smelled like shit!
"PHEW! It smelled like shit!" Matt breathed.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" I bellowed sarcastically. We both wrinkled our nose in disgust.
"But we don't know how to change sheets... The staff is usually the one that change our sheets..." Matt whined
"Don't worry. I'll do it." Yuue walked towards us. She started with Matt's bed first, since it was the closest to hers. She pulled out allot of stuff from under Matt's mattress. Socks, boxers (she pulled it out without shame or complaint and tossed it to Matt), stylus, empty pizza box, empty cigarrette box and a frozen bubblegum (which she just tossed it on the garbage bin accross the room. SHOOT!). She finished it for 4 good minutes, then proceeded to mine. "My Pikachu boxers~! I'll never lost you again!" Matt hugged it happily. True, he lost those boxers for 2 good years. Hell, he even blamed me for it! Before I can even look to see how Yuue's doing, she's finished! Just flattening the comforter. She have crumpled chocolate foil wrappers on her hand.
"1..." she tossed it on the bin. "2..." toss, "3..." toss, "4..." toss, "5!" toss. No wrapper missed the mouth of the bin.
"Finished!" she sighed in releif. She wiped the small sweat building up on her forehead.
"Thanks, Yuue!" Matt said and hugged her, the boxers still grasped tightly on his hand.
"Thanks, Yuue!" I gave her a pat on the shoulder. She just nodded, smiling.
There was a knock on the door. Matt let go of her and stood beside her.
"Door's open!" Yuue shouted.
A white puff of head peaked on the door. It's Near.
"Dinner's ready." his monotone voice announced. I gave him a glare.
"Sure. Thanks for reminding us. We'll be going down in a moment." Yuue replied politely.
He simply nodded and closed the door with a slight click! .
"That was Near." Matt explained. She nodded in understanding. She took off her scarf and took Inu's food bowl. "Let's go." she said. We all went down one said a word after the happening.
I got myself a nice, big slice of moist chocolate cake. Matt had pouched eggs on toast. Yuue had mashed potatoes and gravy on top. Inu got a meat flavored dog food. He happily accepted it and dug in.
We all ate silently, eating like we never have eaten for years.
Yuue was the first to finish. "I'm gonna take a shower." she informed us. We both nodded, and went back to eating.
~"How can you not forget someone whose hurt you?"~
I was the first to finish my food.I Informed them that I was gonna take a shower. They just nodded. I went upstairs. To our room. Then opened my bag and scurried for my grey and white striped tank-top and my dark grey pajamas. I carried them in the bathroom. I shut the door, locked it and took a warm shower.
-Y-Y-Y-Y
After the shower, I slipped into my undergarments, then into my pajamas. I dried my hair with my own towel. I combed it until it was straight, shiny, smooth and dry. I noticed the sliding window in every head of the bed. I decided to put thick, black curtains on it. I really hate the sun. I slipped into my comfy, good smelling, bed and drifted to sleep.
~"Mels, you can hog on our room whenever you want. Just don't break our stuff here! It costs us our allowance you know."~
Mello, Inu and I have finished not long after Yuue. Inu looked at me, expecting a praise for eating all his food. I patted him on the head as a reward. We carried our dishes and Inu's food bowl to the counter and left.
We went upstairs to go sleep. We opened the door to find a sleeping Yuue on her comfy glory. I almost thought she was naked because her hair covered the strap of her tank-top. We also noticed the heavily curtained window above her head.
"She hates the sun." I whispered to Mello.
"Let's try not to wake her up." Mello whispered back.
I nodded and began to take a shower. Mello was changing into his sleeves-less black shirt and boxers. It was hugging his body perfectly. After I showered I change into my Mario boxers and thin cotton, Mario t-shirt.
"Seriously, Matt. Is it Mario night, this night?" Mello whispered
"Well, I wear what I automatically pick-up. You know I don't want to wake her up." I whispered back.
We slipped into our comfy comforters that smelled of slight fabric conditioner and drifted of to sleep.
But then I opened my eyes to see Mello's bloodshot ones.
"Oh, shit! You forgot the lights!" Mello whispered
"No! I'm not gonna leave this bed!" I whispered back hugging my other pillow tightly.
We heard Yuue stir in her sleep and groan a little. I was about rise up and turn off the lights when the lights flickered off.
"INU!" Mello and I both gasped.
After reaching the lights, the dog went back on the foot of his master's bed and slept on the tiny carpet Yuue set just for him.
Then Mello and I went back to drift to dreamland again.
Next chappie gonna update soon... Review please!
