A/N: Again, thank you for your wonderful reviews. Oh dear, I am sorry. I don't think this chapter fits with the previous one. This will be the last time I bring this up but... should I still continue? Oh, oh... I apologize for worrying so much. I'm merely a beginner at writing fics and... Well, I don't know. I am sorry. Review please, ideas and notices on my mistakes will be highly appreciated. I also apologize for any misspelled words, if this was hard to follow, and bad grammar.
And...: I've made a slight mistake. I remembered that L was the first child to live at the Wammy's House. There were no other children living there before him. But yes... There's a chance of me adding another character and pretend he/she's a year younger than L in later chapters because of this. (It seems so lonely to me that the only characters will be Just Watari and L...)

The cold winter wind hits my face and freezes drops of tears. The snow had stopped falling awhile again, but it is as cold as if it never did.
"I don't deserve this," I tell him plainly.
"L, you should understand that you deserve better. I know you've been through hard times but you don't deserve to be homeless or be hated upon. This isn't by luck. You are a human, therefore you deserve to be treated as such. Please stop crying..."
Watari's soft, soothing voice calms me. I eventually stop crying and look at the elder.
"You've done so much for me... how can I repay you?"
"L... do you not understand, still? Understand that you are human and not some item that someone can do whatever with. Come in, Child, you look cold. I'll make you something warm to eat and drink."
I bring a tattered sleeve to my face to chew. I am still convinced that I'm worthless but I nod hesitantly and follow him slowly back inside.
Watari brings two cups of tea and a plate of sweets. I've developed a liking to sugary things since I'd taken a bite of the vanilla cake he'd given me earlier.
"Help yourself. Do you mind if I ask you about what happened awhile ago?"
I take the largest chocolate covered donut and eye him, licking the side of my treat.
"...Not at all, you did save my life after all. I trust you enough to tell you what had happened..."
"Who was that man? What was his purpose of choking you and hitting you like that?"
I ponder at the question gnawing at my thumb.
"I don't know who he was nor do I know his reason for mistreating me," I reply,"Perhaps... perhaps it is because I'm a useless piece of trash that no one wanted..."
I trail off as I recall what had happened earlier. I can't hear Watari's scolding...
--
"Please... just... just let me go... I'll do whatever you want. Just please let me go," I pleaded, scooting back as the stranger eased closer.
"Shut up, kid. Why should I listen to you? You're just going to try to run away again... Now. Shut up and follow me. Maybe I wont hurt you if you obey..."
His large hands are extended towards me. I'm curious and wonder if he would hit me or not. My roped hands are in front of my face in an attempt to protect myself. My guess is close but not exact. He reaches out and chokes me. I cry out hoping that someone might hear and save me from this...
--
"...Are you listening to me?"
My thought is again interrupted and I face him to answer.
"I am sorry... I was just... thinking...May I go rest?"
"Yes, you may. Are you feeling alright? You do look pale."
"My skin tone is naturally like that... I am," I lied, turning away from Watari.
Watari sighs and helps me up."Very well then. Follow me, I will show you to your room."

Oh my... T,T: Oh dear... Have I done alright? Any problems? Hard to follow? Was it good? Bad? Reviewers will be loved.
