"If you really think Kira is that great, why don't you join him in hell?!" His voice was quiet, but there was unmistakable steel in it. Once he had succeeded in beating my oppressor to the next century, he turned to me and his voice softened. "You've really got to be careful about what you say nowadays. That damned Kira has everyone at each other's throats, and if you say so much as one word against him they'll go for the kill." He knelt down next to me. "You alright?" He wore oddly shaded goggles so I couldn't see his eyes, and that made me nervous. I can't determine a person's heart if I can't see their eyes.

"Perfectly," I muttered as I wiped the blood away from my mouth. "I'm perfectly fine." He frowned.

"What are you doing out here anyway? You live 'round here somewhere?"

"Not really."

"Well then what the hell are you doing out here?! If you haven't noticed, it's two in the friggin' morning!" I was going to ask him what HE was doing out here at two in the friggin' morning, but thought better of it.

"Well then. I guess the time slipped away faster than I'd thought." I was nervous about where I would be staying from now on, but I wasn't about to let him know that. I still couldn't see his eyes. I don't know how he could have known, but he seemed to sense that his goggles made me nervous. He pushed them up onto the top of his head. His eyes were bright green.

"My name is Matt. If you need a ride somewhere, my car's just around the corner." He had nice eyes, and I decided that I had nothing to lose by trusting him.

My voice was a whisper. "I'm afraid I don't have a somewhere to ride to." He didn't hesitate AT ALL to respond.

"Well then for God's sake come on! There's no way I'm letting a girl like you sleep in the streets. Especially a fellow Kira hater." My eyes narrowed.

"And what do you mean by 'a girl like me?'" He grinned.

"Oh, but of course I was referring to the fact that you were anti-Kira, and that if something like this happened again, I may not be there to stop it." Nice try, but no.

"Liar."

"…How can you tell?"

"…It's in your eyes."
