Disclaimer: I don't own anything… but I do own Every and this story. X3
"Scores have been posted in the hall… After seeing your score, go DIRECTLY to your rooms. No pushing, please. Class dismissed." Roger sighed, sinking into his chair at the desk in from of the room.
Children filed out the class, in hopes they'd moved up in ranking. Matt was no exception.
"Let's see if we're still tied." Matt said, looking down at Every, who was still sitting at her desk, scribbling words and sketches with her crayons. Matt turned, and marched out the door, eager to see the list. Every followed close behind, staring at the tile floor.
As soon as they turned the corner to check the rankings for that week, Matt's eyes rolled.
"Tied for third. Again." He sighed, shutting his eyes. "I don't see why Roger can't just give us an extra test. We're-" the redhead was interrupted by a loud shriek.
"DAMNIT!" Mello screamed. "SECOND!"
Matt sighed and rushed to his friend's side. Every ran to Near's.
Mello had studied all night for that test. He was furious. So furious, in fact, that he wouldn't be holding back this time.
Mello gripped the collar of Near's shirt. Near glanced to Matt. The boy had pulled a DS out of his vest pocket and was playing it.
Seriously?
He looked to Every. She was staring at her feet, her hands were balled into fists, just in case aggression was needed.
Thanks, but… I doubt someone like you can punch anyone with enough force, let alone Mello. he told the girl silently.
Mello's anger was building up. He released one hand from the grip on Near's collar.
"I hate you, Near! I hate you, I hate you!" He screamed in the smaller boy's face as his fist collided with it.
"Mello…?"
Mello's face froze. He let go of the albino, letting his arms drop to his sides, one hand still tight in a fist.
"L…" He mumbled in fear.
"Mello. Why don't you go in your room and study?" L asked.
Mello stomped down the hall. He was never one to follow orders, but this was L. No way in hell would he deny his idol. No way in hell.
"Near…." L mumbled, signaling down to the boy's shirt. Near looked down, only to find it had been stains with specks of red.
"What…?" He muttered, stretching the white shirt out for a better look.
"Blood, Near." Every said apathetically.
"Nosebleed." L mumbled.
"He musta hit you pretty hard." Matt said, looking up from his DS.
Near cupped a hand around his nose in attempt to save his shirt.
Is that… really blood? I've never seen my own blood before…
Near's eyes widened at the mere thought.
"Why don't we go back to my room to clean that up… there's someone there to meet all of you anyway." L suggested in his usual tone. The children all looked up to the young man's face and nodded. They all began walking to L's room, L walking slowly behind. Mello sighed from around the corner, chewing on a bar of chocolate. He let it snap between his teeth, and listened to the sound of their bare feet slapping the floor. He paused, grimaced, and decided to head back to his room for more chocolate.
L paused, and clapped his hands together for his heirs' attention. They huddled around him with curious faces.
"The man you're about to meet…" L said, looking at the ceiling "Is a suspect."
" Y' mean… We're meeting kira?" Matt yelled, but cupped a hand over his mouth after receiving glares. "…sorry."
" We need to stay quiet… This man is very intelligent, and he knows how to hide suspicion well. If he hears any of this, who knows what act he'll put on." L warned. The children nodded. L decided to give them his instruction.
" Remember, aliases. Keep your face out of his view as much as possible without suspicion." He said.
"Alrighty!" Matt said, snapping his orange goggles over his face with a goofy grin.
"We also don't want him to know you know anything about the kira case. I believe y life may be in danger for suspecting him, and I still need one of you to replace me, should something happen." He reminded. The children nodded again.
"Doesn't Mello need to hear this?" Matt asked, and Near looked to the ceiling, silently praying the boy wouldn't be meeting this mystery suspect along with him.
"Mello knows we're meeting someone. And I'm 97% positive he knows well enough to follow these guidelines without me telling him." L reassured, biting his thumb.
L signaled for them to continue to his room. He followed close behind, observing them as they marched. As they turned the corner and arrived at their destination, L stepped in front of the group and opened the door, allowing them entrance.
"Everyone… Meet Light Yagami."
I promise I'll update soon as I can this time! I have a research paper to work on, so I multi-task! I'm so glad I'm not doing finals yet….
