L and Light entered their new apartment. L automatically chose the larger room, which was painted a nice navy blue color. Light was perfectly okay with that, because the other, which just so happened to be painted pink, would match his many Justin Beiber posters way better. "So...shall we unpack our things?" the detective asked his weapon. Light flashed him a smile.
"Sure L, you can go get my things and unpack them!" He winked suggestively. L stared for a moment before sighing and shaking his head.
"...No. Get your own things," he demanded. 'There's more proof that Light Yagami is definitely a strange dude,' he thought to himself. Light frowned and started pouting.
"Fine..." he sighed in defeat. The two rivals started unpacking their furniture and such and soon the apartment looked much homier. They had been given a TV by Cosmo and Demetrius. They apparently had an extra TV they had inherited from their friend, and they didn't need it. So there it was, in L and Light's living room. Light flopped down on the couch and started inspecting his finger nails. "Hey fatty-fat-cakes, is my pink fingernail polish chipping?" he asked.
L's eye started twitching. "You...augh. You know what? YES! YES IT'S CHIPPING! Now just...go fix it in your bedroom or something...PLEASE! Just...leave me alone god damnit!" he yelled exasperatedly. Light merely nodded.
"I heard you have an irrational fear of Santa Clause, L," he said absent-mindedly. L walked over to him and leaned over so their noses were touching.
"Say that again, Yagami, and I'll give you an irrational fear of my fist," the detective hissed angrily. Light stared at him with wide eyes.
"AH! DON'T TOUCH MAH HAIR L! DON'T TOUCH IT!" he screamed and ran into his room. L smirked, he had known that would work.
"Ah...sweet silence. The only thing that could make this better is chocolate cake," he mused. So he went into the kitchen and found a conveniently placed piece of chocolate cake and started devouring it.
*Meanwhile in the Death Room*
Lord Death was thinking about L and Light's progress. Rather, lack thereof. They had made almost no progress. Perhaps he should send the kids to get those other people to help. Mello and Near, he thought were their names. Yes, Mello and Near, those are the ones. So he decided to send Cosmo, Demetrius, Ali, and Bryan to get them.
*A few hours later*
"These idiots are just like the other ones...if not worse..." Bryan sighed, gesturing towards the white-haired boy who was defending himself from a blonde-haired boy's vicious attacks.
"Mello...I never did say I dislike chocolate," the white-haired boy sighed. The blonde haired boy still attacked angrily.
"I DON'T CARE, SHEEP! I STILL HATE YOU!" he shouted.
"Um...excuse me...are you...Mello and Near?" Cosmo asked. Both the boy's heads shot up, and they stared at her.
"Yes, I am Near," the white-haired boy confirmed.
"I'm Mello," the blonde-haired boy sighed. Then he realized, Near even beat him to introducing himself! DAMNIT!
"...Right, well, you need to come with us," Ali explained. Near nodded slowly.
"Why do you need him," Mello started, pointing at Near, "When I am obviously better and can make up for him?"
Near sighed and starting fiddling with his hair. "...Mello, why do you insist on being enemies? We're supposed to be friends," he sighed. Mello just got angrier at that, his face turning bright red with fury.
"SHUT UP! WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDS, SHEEP! YOU'RE SO-" Mello started and ran up to attack Near, who simply flipped him over by grabbing his wrist. Ali, Cosmo, Bryan, and Demetrius started cracking up. Near, who was much smaller and looked much younger, just owned Mello, who was in the mafia. WHAT A FAIL on Mello's part.
"...Right. Seeing as you're in the mafia, it is sad that I just flipped you over. So let's just skip the pointless fight and simply move on to better things. Such as listening to these people explain why they are here," the white-haired teen sighed. Mello rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, right. I'll stop pointlessly fighting when these random people we don't know say we are going to some place called Death City, were L and Light just happen to be as well, and we have to fight a crazy witch under the name of Medusa, who has a son named Chrona," the blonde laughed. Strange, the people in this story have a strange habit of being weirdly specific.
"Yes well, oddly, that's exactly what we were going to tell you," Demetrius pointed out. Near held in laughter. He was very good at this. He barely even let a smile show on his face. It was just a small titling up of one side of his mouth. Of course, Mello didn't notice this. Probably because he was really shocked.
"Damnit! Any of you have any chocolate?" the blonde asked, fidgeting due to chocolate withdrawal. Everyone but Bryan shook their heads.
"Yeah...you can have a bar if you want..." he told Mello. The said blonde nodded furiously and ripped the chocolate bar out of Bryan's hand, nearly ripping the said hand off in the process. "Jeez, you really like chocolate, don't you?"
" 'Really like' isn't a strong enough term for Mello's apparent addiction to chocolate," Near sighed. Mello chose to ignore him completely and just pay attention to the sweet heavenly bliss that came in the form of a chocolate bar.
"Right...can we please just go?" Ali sighed impatiently. She called Lord Death and they walked through the mirror again. They all landed in the Death Room, and Lord Death greeted them cheerfully.
"Why are we here again?" Near asked, apparently bored.
"You'll find that out later. For now, let's see who's the weapon and who's the meister," Cosmo sighed. She looked at Near's soul first. It was white, all white, adorned with slightly curly hair. He appeared to be a meister. "Near, you're a meister. Congratulations," she laughed.
"I suppose that means I'll have to wield Mello. He'll probably turn out to be a chocolate bar or something..." the white-haired teen sighed. Mello turned red with fury again, but said nothing.
"You people seem to catch on quick," Ali said slightly surprised. Then she looked at Mello's soul. It was bright, fiery orange with his slightly lanky hairstyle. He was a weapon. "I suppose Cosmo and I will teach Near the tricks of the trade about being a meister, that puts Demetrius and Bryan in charge of getting Mello to transform.
"Right..." Demetrius grabbed Mello's arm and transformed his own arm into a blade. He was going to scare Mello into transforming. Which worked surprisingly well. Mello yelped in shock and transformed into a...big, steel...fan. How embarrassing...
"I transformed right? How do I look?" Mello demanded, his face showing on the metallic surface. He had orange and black trimming and...well, he looked girly.
"Well...you're a steel fan...and...you're orange and black..." Bryan mumbled, trying to hold in his laughter. Demetrius couldn't hold it in at all. He just started snickering.
"I-I'm sorry!" He said with tears in his eyes," You're just so GIRLY!" He laughed. Later, people would wonder how he didn't choke, he was laughing so hard.
"Sh-SHUT UP!" Mello shouted and transformed back into his human form. Meanwhile, Cosmo and Ali were helping Near grasp looking at people's souls. He was surprisingly good.
"Cosmo...I can tell you're kind at heart, but you have guilt waying at the back of your mind. Why is that?" the white-haired teen prodded, twisting his hair some more. Cosmo was shocked. Normally people couldn't tell that much about a soul when they had just started...
"Er, um...look at Mello's soul!" she chuckled. Near nodded and looked at the said blonde's soul. He saw that Mello was a steel fan and...he finally snapped. He started laughing uncontrollably. Mello glared at him.
About an hour later, they finally managed to synchronize their soul wavelengths. Near was fairly good at fighting, although a steel fan was most definitely not his choice in weapons. Mello was rather rude most of the time, but...they made a fairly decent team. After a long day of training, Cosmo, Ali, Bryan, and Demetrius showed them to their apartment, which just so happened to be the same apartment as Light and L's. This won't end well..
