Blood
Chapter Two
Matt looked at his friend, curious as to what he was talking about. He knew the Kira case was still on and that the media might suspect another Kira in the making so what could Mello possibly be thinking? Was a clever scheme brewing inside the mind of the demented blonde? Matt sat upright, still a bit battered from his previous episode with the cops as he stared at Mello.
"Are you going to kill here in Japan? Because chances are good you'll be hunted down as another Kira and become one of the Top Wanted in the country." Matt stated.
Mello turned to him sharply.
"No. We're not going to stay here. The Kira case has gotten too out of hand and I've done all I can do for it. I've lost my respect and dignity so there is no point in my remaining here. Near has taken over and I'm sure he'll catch Kira."
Matt raised a confused eyebrow.
"But where would we go? And how would we get there? I mean, it's not like the FBI is going to just let us waltz right out of the country, especially when no one knows who Kira is yet."
Mello clenched his fist. As much as he hated to admit it, Matt was right. It would be a difficult process getting out of the country and overseas where he had planned to go to Europe. He tended to act on his emotions sometimes, which is a definite reason he lost out on being L's successor to Near.
He sat himself on the couch and held is head with his hands. He needed to uphold the end of his bargain with the Shinigami, othewise he might take Matt away from him. Mello couldn't bare the thought of that happening to him again. He didn't want the pain and sorrow he had felt before. He didn't want to feel as if his heart was shattered into a million pieces. He didn't ever want that again. As long as he could, he wanted to keep Matt beside him. His mind started to think. He needed an ingenious plan to flee the country. But how...?
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. Both boys were startled and concerned at the same time. Who could have found their secret hideout? What trouble awaited them behind the mahogany frame? Mello jumped up and grabbed the gun that lay on the floor in front of his feet. He rushed up to the door and pressed his back against the wall next to it. Matt followed, pursuing the same action. Mello peered over into a rather large crack in the door and saw a feminine frame standing outside. He looked up a little further and saw a rather cute girl with blonde hair impatiently tapping her foot as if she was being held up and had somewhere to be. Mello lowered his weapon and reached for the doorknob. Quick as lightning, he threw the door open and pointed the gun at the girl. The girl let out a frightened scream and threw her hands up in the air defensively.
"DON'T SHOOT!" she cried frantically.
"STATE YOUR BUSINESS!" Mello snarled.
The girl shook in fear of being shot.
"M-M-My name is Misa Amane and I overheard your situation and I'm here to offer you my help!"
Mello once again lowered his weapon.
"You want to help us?" he said in disbelief.
Matt came rushing to Mello's side, staring at the girl in the doorway. Misa nodded her head.
"I hear you want to flee the country on duty of a Shinigami." she said with a quirky smile.
Mello narrowed his eyes.
"And who told you this?" he growled.
Before Misa could say another word, a white apparition appeared. Matt screamed in terror as the two blondes stood there unmoved. Mello now understood.
"A Shinigami, eh?" he said with a snide grin, "I see how you would know then."
Misa giggled a bit.
"Apparently my Shinigami knows the Shinigami you happened to make a deal with and told her all about name was Yggdrasil I believe she said."
Misa pushed past the two boys and let herself in, dive-bombing the couch.
"Your best friend is murdered and you want revenge. So you make a deal with a devil for his life back? It's almost like a love story. It's cute."
Mello grit his teeth a bit. This girl was annoying but she knew too much.
"Just what is it you want from us?" he asked cautiously.
Misa looked up at him.
"I want you to leave the Kira case to rest. Light doesn't need anymore people getting in his way and you two could pose as a potential problem seeing as you know the man N."
Misa reached into her messenger bag and pulled out a black notebook.
"This is the Death Note, the weapon used to kill the murderers and other random bystanders by Kira. If you leave this country and never return, I will give you this notebook and ownership of my Shinigami, Rem."
Mello's mind began to turn and the twisted gears began to fabricate a brilliant plan. He approached the blonde girl.
"Alright Miss Amane, you have yourself a deal."
Misa lept up off of the couch and squealed happily.
"Yay! I just knew you would agree!" she said, handing the Death Note over to Mello. Mello smirked evily and pulled his gun out putting it between Misa's eyes.
"Yes. And thank you Miss Amane for giving us your life. Yggdrasil will be pleased with your contribution."
The girl's eyes filled with fear but before she could utter a single scream, Mello pulled the trigger silencing her forever.
The girl's body fell to the floor as Matt and Rem both looked in shock at what Mello had just done. He licked the barrel of his gun and knelt down hovering over the dead girl's body. Blood gushed from the bullet hole and filling the floor. Mello's evil smirk peaked. Matt looked down at his best friend, shocked at what had just happened.
"You-you killed her!" Matt said in a frantic tone.
Mello got up and walked over to the other side of the shed, grabbing an empty paint bucket and a pair of gardening scissors that happened to be left over from the previous owner. He knelt down and lifted the girl's shirt enough to bare her midrift. Using the gardening scissors, he cut open a hole and blood started to ooze forth from it. Mello wasted no time in digging his hand into the corpse's abdomen and pulling out a variety of innards. He drained them over the bucket until he had a decent amount. He got up onto his feet, covered in blood, and faced Rem.
"You're going to take us to Europe." he said in a commanding voice.
Rem's cold eyes stared at him.
"I shall but I will do you no further favors seeing as how you killed the girl before her time. And only because you possess my Death Note. Otherwise, I would never think twice about helping a cockroach like yourself."
Matt felt powerless as to what was going on. He had no idea how Mello had gotten like this. He wasn't this way before... it was as if something evil had taken control and he was no longer the friend he once knew.
Just then, a black cloud of smoke appeared in the center of the room and Yggdrasil appeared. He looked just as menacing as ever. Even Rem shuttered a bit at the sight of him.
"I see you're holding up your end of the deal very nicely." the red Shinigami said, dipping his fingers in the bucket of blood and innards then licking them.
"I'm a man of my word." Mello said in a cold tone.
Yggdrasil lifted the bucket over his head and delightfully gulped down the fresh blood of the decaying girl. A few more sips and he had finished with a delighted expression upon his face.
"It was delicious! If you keep this up, I'll be the most powerful Shinigami in the enter realm of Despair."
After finishing and wiping up his mouth, Yggdrasil turned to Mello.
"Kill more like this and your friend shall live for more than his life's expectancy. " he said with an evil cackle.
Mello stood there motionless.
"It's part of our agreement after all." he said with a demonic smirk. Matt turned to him, chills shooting down his back. What was to happen next...?
Well they encourage your complete cooperation,
Send you roses when they think you need to smile.
I can't control myself because I don't know how,
And they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while.
