Hi there!~ his is the my 1st fanfic just warning you. It's a Matt/OC fanfic 'cause Matt's awesome! =D I don't know much about this but I've often seen people do this so I'm putting a disclaimer just in case.
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or any of it's characters (or Matt would be there MUCH more~ ;D

Chapter 1: Introduction

I sighed as I finally finished unpacking my suitcase.

"Well hopefully I'll stay here for a while... it's getting really annoying moving all the time!"

I had just moved into this apartment, and in fact landed in L.A. 3 hours back. I better go find myself a job or it'll look really suspicious.

Thinking so I headed out after picking up my headphones and locking my door. Since I don't live far from a shopping district, in five minutes, I was already walking down the busy streets looking for a help wanted sign.

I was wearing blue jeans, a red long sleeved t-shirt with white stripes on the sleeves, a sleeveless black leather jacket zipped open, fingerless black leather gloves and of course my cross necklace which I always wear. I also had my headphones over my ears as I was listening to music.

Hmm... hopefully I'll find a job with good timings...
Just then I saw a bookstore with a help wanted sign. Pulling my headphones down to my neck I walked in and went to the cashier.

"Hey, I'm looking for a job and saw the help wanted sign..." I started.

"Sorry but the job was just taken... I forgot to take of the sign." the boy behind the counter said in response.

"Oh... I guess I'll find something else..." with that I walked out the store and continued walking down the street.

~At the 25th shop with a help wanted sign~

"Oh... a video-game store..." I banged open the door and walked right up to the counter.

"Is the damn job still there?!" I shouted to the shocked person behind the counter.

"Whoa! Someone sure is angry!" the girl said in response.

"Well what do you expect when every freaking place you go to with a help wanted sign already has the job taken or has the most ridiculous hours!" I snapped back.

"Must have been annoying huh?" she said with a sympathetic look.

"No way! Ya think? Now is the damn job still available or not?!" I shouted back again.

"Well looks like your in luck this time! The spot is still open and I'm pretty flexible about the working hours just as long as you can promise not to scare away all our customers I think you'll be fine." she said with a grin.

"Really?" I asked in response my eyes shining. "Sure. Well of course it's up to you to decide once I've explained all the details." she said while still keeping that wide grin on her face.

*sigh* "Sorry about that... So what are the timings?" I asked finally calming down. "Like I said I'm flexible what would you like? We're open from 8am to 8pm on weekdays and from 10am to 10pm on weekends." she explained to me.

"Hmm... How do you pay?"

"Well, we pay per hour and workers get 20% off anything bought from here." she answered.

"Okay, then could I work from 11 to 5 on weekdays, 12 to 5 on Saturdays and have Sundays off?"

"Sure, that works fine for me~" After that she told me the salary which I was fine with.

"Ok then, are you over 16?" she asked me. "Yeah." I lied. " I'd need to see an I.D. please." I passed her my driving license. "Ran? Huh? You Japanese?"

"Yup that's my name. And yes I'm Japanese well only half actually."

I was actually still 15 years old and the name on my license was actually my alias. As a professional thief, hacker and someone who sometimes kills people I couldn't have my real name out now could I? Specially with this crazy Kira person who seems to think he's god around... I needed to fake my age too of course! How else was I supposed to get a driving license? But the last part was true... I really was half Japanese. Half Japanese and half Russian actually. Mom's Russian and dad's Japanese. Oh, but they both died when I was 6 years old. I myself had my mom's blue eyes and my dad's straight black hair. My hair was choppily cut and reached slightly past my shoulders. Oh, right! and my real name is Rukia. Rukia Keehl...

"'K then, I guess you're hired! Congratulations! My name's Sabrina and I'm your new manager." the girl said to me while holding out her hand for a handshake I guess.

"Hn. Whatever. So I start tomorrow right?" I asked her while ignoring her hand and leaving mine in my pockets.

"Ha ha ha! Not very friendly I see." Yes you can start tomorrow if you'd like." the girl answered me her bright grin never leaving her face.

"I don't need friends so I have no reason to be 'friendly'." I retorted coldly.

"Sure~ Whatever ever floats your boat, kid~ But I'll be your friend anyways~" she chirped happily as she ruffled my hair with one hand.

"I'm not a kid!" I snapped at her while pushing her hand away.

"Well to me you are! You're only 16 while I'm 22!" she states proudly.

"Ugh. I think I'm starting to get a headache." I groaned. For heavens sake! She's only 22! and I'm freakin' 16!!! Well, 15 actually but she doesn't know that so it doesn't matter...

"Anyways, as you know this shop belongs to me. Derrick my boyfriend's the second in command and then there's Kate, Anne, Carmen and Kyle. Anne's your age but the others are older. You'll always be working with one of us because two people work at a time." she explained to me.

"Two at a time huh? Great." I said sarcasticly. "Well then, I guess I'll be leaving now unless you have anything more to say..." I said as I started heading towards door.

"'K see ya tomorrow then~ Oh! Wait! I almost forgot!" she stopped me.

"What?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"As a worker you get to have a free DS and you can bring CD's to play in the shop as long as they're not vulgar. When there aren't too many people you can play on the trials in the store too and there's a Wii and a TV behind the counter so you can play that too when you have no customers. There's Super Smash Brawl and Mario Kart here but you can bring your own games too." she tods me.

"The music part's nice I guess but I've never played nor do I own any video-games so I have any need for a DS.

"YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED VIDEOGAMES?!!!" she shouted while looking at me as if I'm crazy. In my opinion you're the one who's crazier. Shouting so loudly in her own shop for such futile things...

"Hn. No, I never did." I replied annoyed.

"Dear you seriously have a loooong way before you've lived your life if you've never played video-games! I'm definitely giving ypu that DS now! I'll lend you a few of my games and you can use your discount to buy some." she declared.

"But-"

"No buts! She interuppted me.

"Now then see ya tomorrow!~" she said as she waved me goodbye. Sighing, I left the store and headed towards a restaurant nearby to get myself a dinner.

Sabrina was a tall 22 year old woman. Her hair which was tied into a pony tail leaving a few strands on each side of her head was blond with light brown streaks while her bright eyes were a honey brown colour. She seemed quite nice... Actually I quite liked her happy and care-free personality but I'd never tell her that!

After eating my dinner and going grocery shopping I went to steal some money from a nearby posh hotel and then returned home. Hey! I was a robber and I was running out of money so what do you think I'd do?! Besides if I hacked into a bank account or something I'd have to go to the bank and I didn't feel like it right now and since I needed the money right away for living expenses... Even if I just moved in it's fine 'cause I always made sure no one ever saw me and lived when I was stealing and I'm an expert so there's absolutely no way to trace back the robberies I commit to my house or work...

I then went plopped onto my bed and fell asleep right away. Since the next day was a Tuesday I would start working at 11 a.m.

And that's the end of the 1st chappy!~ Sorry there was no Matt but like the title of the chapter says this was sort of to introduce you to my OC but I promise Matt will be there in the next one.

Like I said on my profile I'm not very good at continuing stories but I'll try my best!~ =D I'll probably not update very fast just letting you readers know in advance... By the way reviews might help encourage me to continue and update faster!~ ;D So please review! It doesn't have to be a very long or serious review even just knowing that people liked it makes me happy~
