So, the chapters of this story will be short, but i will be updating a lot. I saw a review on the first chapter, and decided that it was right. I changed it up a bit. This chapter is especially short, I'm sorry to say. But, i hope you enjoy it anyway. x]


"Mello," Roger said, grabbing Mello's wrist, looking back onto the classroom, "and Near, come to my room."

"Yes." Near said gathering up his puzzle, and following Roger and Mello to his office.

Matt stayed behind. Mello got called to Roger's office a lot, he made a lot of trouble at Wammy's. But Near only got called there when there was news about L. Had L finally chosen his successor…?

Matt hoped not. If he had, and had chosen Mello, then Mello would surely move out. Then what would he do all day? If Mello moved out, he would take Matt, right? Yeah… he would…

Matt went back to his room to play Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap. Not long after Mello came storming in.

"What'd Roger say?" Matt asked Mello as Mello started fling stuff out of his drawers.

"L's dead." Mello said harshly.

"… WHAT?" Matt said, shocked.

"Kira killed him." Mellos said, packing now.

"… Damn… So did he pi-"

"No. He didn't." Mello cut him off.

"Oh… so where are you going then?"

"I don't know yet. But I need to get out of here. L needs vengeance. I need to find Kira myself, and definitely before Near." Mello had packed up all his things; he didn't have much, and started walking out the door.

Matt jumped out of his bed and hurried to catch up with him "Wait, whoa. You're going NOW?"

"Why wait? Kira doesn't take breaks, neither will I."

"But… what about…" Matt trailed off, he was confused. People usually don't leave like this…

"What about what, Matt?" Mello said turning around when they were at the entrance of the House.

"I… Don't know. But you could stay a little longer, can't you? This is happening all so quick, Can't you stay and say good bye to your friends, just one more night?"

"I have no friends here. I need to leave now. I'm not staying, get it?" Mello had started to walk again

"… Take me with you then. I could help. We would be unstoppable together." Matt said hurriedly as he tried to catch up with him.

Mello stopped. He was almost at the gate now. "… You'd just get in my way."

Matt stopped several feet behind Mello as he said this. "W-what?" Matt said, clearly hurt by those words.

"I can't have you hanging around when I'm doing this. This is serious, Matt. Not just some game for the hell of it. If you get in my way, we could screw everything up. Then no one will catch Kira."

"But… I won't get in your way... I promise." Matt said with a head ach from holding back tears.

"No. I want to do this alone. I don't need your assistance." Mello said and walked out of the gate.

Matt stood there and watched as his "best friend" walked further and further, eventually disappearing into the rain. What had just happened? Was Mello really gone? Or was this just a dream? Matts whole body went numb, and his vision got fuzzy. He felt like he was going to be sick. His ears started ringing and he got dizzy… then nothing.


I hoped you liked it. I might get the next chapter up tomorrow. Please review. x]
