Mello is kidnapped by a mystery person, he doesn't remember anything from the night before, but isn't hurt… too much. Why was he kidnapped? Who did it? Once he finds out, will he want to leave?

Chapter one

Mello woke in a room not his own. It wasn't Near's room, and it definitely wasn't Matt's room. His head was pounding as he looked around, his vision blurred. He noticed the color of the walls and the bed sheets, then he noticed he was holding a half eaten chocolate bar.

He turned in the silk of the sheets and noticed a desk, filled with paper and books and different colored pens. What stood out most on that desk was a faithful, little, black notebook. He didn't remember anything from the night before and this was beginning to frighten the young boy.

Mello sat up quickly, which caused him more splitting pains in his lower back. The blond whipped around as he heard a deadly voice behind him. He saw no one there and was now beginning to hear footsteps. The got louder… louder… getting closer and closer. Mello screamed, not knowing what to do as the door opened. He nearly lost the ability to breathe when the resident of the room entered, dawning only a pair of light brown boxer shorts.

"Hey Kid, calm down." Light Yagami sent the boy a warning glare, "My sister is still sleeping." Yagami set the glass he'd been holding down on the desk and Mello began to pant as the elder boy approached him. "Why are you screaming like that anyway? You were doing some screaming last night, but it wasn't in fear… I'll guarantee that," he grinned as he pinned poor confused Mello.

"But that's ok, no one else was home" He grinned. "Actually… you sounded… like you enjoyed it…" Light moved in to kiss Mello and a jealous Shinigami turned the TV on. A voice, familiar, yet distorted, echoed in the room and caused the older boy to jump and stared wildly at the screen. "It's HIM!"

"Greetings, this is L. I have gotten word from the second Kira that he or she knows where my missing friend has gone off to, and will gladly give him back if I relinquish the search for the original Kira. It was said that failure to comply would result in a more impacting loss on my part, even to the point of being personal. This would imply that both Kiras are in fact in league and know me personally enough to secede on a victim. This would eliminate over half of the suspects on my list. However, I pray that neither Kira is really stupid enough to make another mistake like that again…it would make their capture that much easier… therefore, less fun. Goodbye for now… oh, and Kira… watch your next move… I'm always closer than you think."
