Mello Pov.

"You will never take me alive Roger NEVER!" I yelled out behind me had I bolted around the left side of Wammy's orphanage.

The Warm spring air rushed against my face as I dove down into the 'forbidden' garden, Roger's sanctuary. He wouldn't suspect that I would hide in here. Everyone knew how pissed off Roger got when people jumped into his flowers, it would be the last place he would check for me, someone who was already in deep shit. I pressed myself up against the brick wall, covered by a leafy screen of foliage as I heard footsteps coming towards the bushed.

Crap! No way he had found me already, it was impossible.

The leaves rustled and a flash of red appeared in front of me. It was a boy, a boy I hadn't seen before, someone who obviously didn't expect me because as soon as he looked up at me quickly, his eyes hidden behind orange goggles widened, his mouth opening to let out a yell of surprise.

Luckily for me I got my fingers around his mouth before he could give my cover away.

"Shut up!" I hissed angrily, "I'm hiding from Roger."

I looked the strange boy up and down. He looked about my age with reddy brown hair and pair of orange goggles over his eyes that where slightly too big. He wore a red and black striped t shirt and blue denim shorts. He was a walking fashion statement *cough, cough*

"In Here?" He whispered in an annoyed tone, pulling away from my hand.

"No, on the space station on Mars" I whispered back angrily "where the hell do you think you idiot"

I didn't even know this boy, it didn't matter, I treated everyone the same, whether it was this random orphan that I had never seen in my life or my arch enemy Near…okay maybe I treated Near a little differently but yea.

"Sorry" the boy mumbled "you just shocked me" he said giving up already.

"Whatever" I mumbled quietly in a less harsh tone.

Suddenly we heard more footsteps, slower and heavier than the ones before. Walk slowly passed the garden, pausing for a moment to look at the flowers.

I held my breath and looked at the random next to me. He looked nervous; I could almost hear his heart beating, I could almost see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Calm down" I mouthed and he nodded slowly.

"Goodness Mello, why must you always be such a pain" Roger muttered to himself (this made me happy) before the heavy footsteps started up again, slowly getting softer as they travelled to the right.

The boy next to me let out a breath of relief and turned towards me smiling, showing his teeth, train tracked with black and red braces to match his shirt. "That was close" he whispered a little louder than before.

"Yea I guess" I replied "What are you doing in here anyway?" I asked raising my blonde eyebrows.

"I dropped my DS out the window" he said pointing to the blind-style windows just above the garden "you haven't seen it have you?" he asked hopefully.

I looked around to spot a thin, navy blue rectangle lying underneath my leg. I picked it up and handed it back to the boy whose name I still hadn't learned.

"Thanks" he said taking it off me inspecting it for damage then checking if his game card was still in the back. After a few minutes he smiled to himself and shoved it back into his front pocket.

After this I stood up looking down on the boy who now looked tiny "well I had better get going" I said looking away from him to look up into the scowling face of Roger.

What! When the hell did he get there?! I thought to myself as laughed and scratched the back of my head "Hey Roger" I said between my fake laugh.

He let out a grunt of annoyance and grabbed me by the neck of my thin sweater and dragged me away.

"HEY!! LET ME GO!! YOU BASTARD!!! LET ME GO!!!!!!" I yelled kicking and struggling to break free of his tight grip on my shirt "JERK!! LETT ME GO!" I tried one last time and he pulled me into the side door of Wammy's.
