One day Matt and I were called to Rogers office. I arrived first, and the redheaded bastard followed, shoving his DS in his pocket as he stumbled into the room.

"What is it Roger?" I asked, eager to know the news.

He had his hands folded, resting his chin on them. His eyes were closed and I could tell that whatever he was going to say would be less than pleasant. I was right.

"L's dead "

"What?" I grabbed my caretakers jacket. "But he was going to catch Kira! Kira killed him right? Come on you have to tell me!"

"Mello..." Roger tried to loosen my grip on his clothing.

"So Kira did kill him?!"

"...probably."

This was absolutely ridiculous. L was our mentor, the one we looked up to for everything! And he just goes and gets himself killed by Kira? How could he?

I glanced over at Matt who wasn't really showing much emotion. He wiggled his fingers, itching to get his hands on his stupid DS again.

"So who'd he pick?" I asked, eager to know who would succeed L and who was just a dumbass.

"He died before he could choose...so how about you two work together?

I bit my lip and looked over at Matt from the corner of my eye.

"That's cool with me." He shrugged.

"Tch. No way. You know we don't get along! I'm leaving this institution! I'm almost fifteen years old now! I'll find my own way. I shouted, and with that, walked out of the room to pack my things.

I slammed the door to Roger's office and stormed up the stairs, stomping my bare feet, although they didn't make much noise due to my lack of shoes .

Flinging open the door to my room, I saw Near on the floor playing with his puzzle.

"Is something wrong?" He asked concernedly looking upwards and twirling his hair.

"I'm leaving this wretched place!"

His dove colored eyes grew wide.

"Wh-what?"

"YOU HEARD ME RIGHT BITCH! I'M FUCKING LEAVING THIS HELLHOLE!"

"Why? What happened?"

"L's dead." I said darkly. Glaring at my love. "I have to succeed him and catch Kira myself! There's no frick'n WAY I'm working with Matt.

"I'm coming with you,right?"

"WTF Near, of course your not coming! I'm going to catch Kira all alone on my own!" I didn't hesitate for a moment to stop and consider the words I was yelling at my Near, who I knew was quite sensitive and easily hurt. While I ranted, I shoved clothes into a backpack I had and took what little money I had saved, only about 20$. Thinking was the last thing on my list of priorities.

My boyfriend just stared at me as I packed, but he sprung into action as he saw me turning for the door.

"NOOOO!" He screeched. Near lunged for my person and forcefully hugged me.

"Back off you albino twit!" I shrieked. As he wrapped his legs around my waist and snaked his arms around my neck.

"Get" I snarled "the fuck away!"

He slammed his head down onto my shoulder and started desperately biting my shirt.

I kept trying to wrench his arms off my body but it was like Near had developed superhuman strength. Through his mouthful of shirt, Nate was sobbing, and I could feel my shoulder getting wet with his tears.

I growled like an animal and finally manage to tear him away from away from me.

Near didn't give up. He crawled over to the door and clamped both his hands around the knob.

"Don't make me hurt you."

"F-fight me." Near wept patheticly.

"If you don't move RIGHT NOW I'm going to punch you."

He sat there stubbornly.

"Fine! Lets do this the hard way!" "LET'S DO THIS THE FUCKING HARD WAY!"

UI swiftly raised my hand and brought it down heavily on the albinos face .

"AUGHHH!" His hands flew to his nose which was pouring blood and probably broken. I took this opportunity to turn the doorknob and race out of the room.

"MELLOOOOOOOO!"

I panted and looked back at the crying trembling mess that was Nate River, screaming my name and with blood adding to he mix of tears and snot running down his face. I should have ran back and knelt down and dried his tears. I could have cuddled him and reassured him of my love. I would have forgot the entire thing and kept on living my life at Whammy's house happily with the one I loved...but I didn't. I went to go out there and catch Kira. And more importantly, show the world that I was better than Matt.

"MELLOOOO...MELLO! Mihael...Mihael...MELOOO!"

Trying not to think about how I was leaving Near crying and screaming my name, I kept running, downstairs out the door, not looking back until I was sure that Whammy's house was out of sight.

-So what do you think should happen next? Should Near go after Mello? Should somebody die? Haha OK I probably shouldn't kill off any characters...yet. :-)
