Chapter 3

Author's Note: I have not added a new chapter in so long! I'm so sorry! It's only been a few days off what I was trying for, though (I was going to try for once a week). Anywho, before you read this chapter, here are some things you should know: I am going to keep calling Beyond "Fluffy," but only from mello's perspective. Why? I don't know O.o Also, I feel like I was mean to Near in this chapter...Oops...I really don't hate him, I swear. And, yes, there is a cute moment with mello and near, but it was more in a brotherly way then a romantic way. I'm more MelloxMatt then MelloxNear, but you can see it however your little heart desires. I will write more in the author's note at the end, because i don't like having so much from me at the begining...

Important!: I still don't own Death Note. I own the author's note I made, though ^.^


As their plane can to a stop, Mello attempted to jump out of his seat. He would have succeeded, but Matt had pushed him down before he could get up all the way.

"Geeze, Mells, wanna get yourself killed much?"

They slowly got up when the pilot came on the intercom and told everyone they could, and a line formed as people got off. Near tried filing into the line, but just got pushed back onto his seat. He gave up shortly after that, and L had to hold his hand and lead him out. Mello and Matt just shoved their way into the isle, and, lord knows how, Beyond just disappeared into it.

As they entered the airport, L did a head check, and noticed that there were three kids; a blond, a red-head, and what appeared to be an oversized snowball, but he assumed was Near. He was too in shock to even bother checking their faces, or even really look past the tops of their heads, because he knew he was missing the one that would cause the most trouble. As he thought about it, he realized that Mello would have been the one to cause the most trouble, because Beyond would never get caught, and that meant he didn't have to deal with the police, but, of course, it also meant that Beyond could do more damage. As he silently debated this in his head, he came to the conclusion that dealing with actual people was worse, so Beyond was less of a threat. Happy with this ending, he grabbed Near's hand and lead the rest of the boys through the airport.

"Where's B?" Near asked, looking at L curiously.

"I do not know, but I do know that if I find him then I'll probably catch him doing something illegal, and if I catch him doing something illegal, then, by not telling authorities, I'm doing something illegal. And as a detective I do not want to deal with that. So, we shall wait for him to find us again, and then we will leave."

"You have some messed up morals, man," Matt stated, already engulfed in his Ds world.

"I-I think it might be important that we find B, in case he hurts someone," Near piped up, but when L simply glanced down at the small boy he added, "actually, never mind, it might not be a good idea," and stared back down at his feet. In this action, he finally realized that L wasn't wearing shoes, and his eyes grew wide as he asked "um, Ryuzaki, isn't that unsanitary? I mean, there must be millions of germs, and how did you get past security, and isn't that bad for the bottoms of your feet, and, wow, you're so pale, shouldn't you get a bit more sun?" L looked down at him and responded, "Fist of all, you're just as pale as I am, so I see nothing wrong with the shade of my skin. I got past security because I have an F.B.I. badge, which comes in handy, and the germs build up my immune system. I think I will be okay, but, if it makes you feels better, then I will go find some shoes later."

Mello nudged Matt. "I bet he doesn't even own a pair of shoes," the blond whispered.

"I heard that," L said, not looking back at them. Mello blushed and Matt went back to concentrating on his game.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, Beyond appeared next to Mello. "Hey, kid," he said, making Mello jump a good two feet off the ground.

"Stop that! Wait, where did you come from? What did you do? Was it bad? Are the police after you?"

Beyond shook his head, but said "no, the police are not after me. They will be when they find it, though, so walk a bit faster."

Mello's eyes widened. "Fl-Fluffy? What did you do?"

"Shh, walking faster, walking fast," Beyond commanded, pushing Mello.

As they exited the airport, L grabbed his ancient-looking cell phone and dialed a number. He simply held the devise to his ear, mumbled one "yes, thank you," and a limo appeared. L got in, and the rest of the boys followed, slightly confused.

"Ryuzaki, how did you get a limo?" Matt asked.

"I have my ways," L replied, eyes never leaving the lollipop he had pulled out of his bag.

"I, can't, breathe!" Near gasped, rolling down a window, and lying on the floor.

"Is, is he okay?" Mello asked, poking the small child.

"Clausterphobic," Beyond observed. "It actually gives me a fairly good idea for something, thanks kid."

Near just rolled around on the floor. "Need, air, please!" he begged.

"You're getting air, otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk," L stated around his lollipop.

"Um, really, guys, I think we should help him, he doesn't look too good…."

"Yeah, if Mello's the one saying that the sheep needs help, then we should probably help the sheep," Matt suggested.

Mello slipped down from his seat to the floor next to Near and held his hand comfortingly. "It'll be okay, you're fine, nothing's going to happen," he tried. Near wrapped his small hands around Mello and buried his head into the older boy's shoulder.

"I told you Mello has a good side," Matt said to B, who gave him five dollars.

"I'm never betting against you again," the teen snarled.

"You two made a bet?" L asked, his black-rimmed eyes widening.

"Yeah," Beyond explained, "I bet him that Mello wouldn't do one nice thing to Near the entire trip. Looks like I lost even sooner than I had thought…." Matt just grinned.

Mello slowly rocked Near back-and-forth, and started singing "hush little Near don't say a word,

….Mello can't remember how the rest of this song goes….

But if you give him some time to think,

He'll just make up some random things to this tune,

Such as 'chocolate is amazing,'

And there's a part in the actual song about a mocking bird,

Oh and one verse about a ring," Mello continued, sticking to the exact tone of the song.

By the time Mello had stopped singing, the limo had stopped in front of an extremely fancy hotel. Mello seemed to escape his calm trance, and bounced up, causing Near to hit the floor and grumble about being unloved.

"OH MY GOD! ARE WE STAYING HERE? IS THIS WHERE WE'RE STAYING? WAHH, THIS IS SO COOL! I LOVE YOU RYUZAKI!" Mello screamed, jumping up and down until Beyond opened the door, causing Mello to fall onto the sidewalk, still screaming. B just rolled his eyes.

"Ryuzaki, man, you have too much money for your own good," Matt commented, pulling Near out of the limo. Even after they had gotten out, Near refused to let go of the red-head's hand.

"Hey, you do realize there's a hotel in Disneyland, right? Because we could have stayed there," Beyond pointed out.

"We could have, but this one was more expensive, so I assume it's better."

As they walked up to the check-in, the lady at the front desk gave L a strange glace, before turning her gaze to Beyond. They were roughly the same age.

"Well hello," she said to the teenager, moving a strand of her blond hair behind her ear. Beyond's eyes grew wide for a moment, then he grind and responded with "and hello yourself."

L nudged B, Matt winked at him, and Near and Mello just stared on with confused expressions on their faces.

L checked in, and as they were walking off, the girl called to Beyond. He turned around, and she said "so, I'll be seeing you around?"

"You know what room I'm in," Beyond replied, then winked and walked off.

"So, B, she's cute," Matt said.

"Oh, really? I wouldn't know."

"….how could you not notice?"

"I'm not into girls." Everyone stopped walking except B, who just kept going like nothing had just happened.

"What?" L asked, confused.

"Yeah, but, ya know, whatever."

"I think we should talk about this. As your guardian, I have a right to know your sexuality, not that liking guys is bad, or anyth-"

"I'm not into guys, either," Beyond interrupted him.

"….then what do you like? Please say you're not into bestiality," Matt said what everyone else was thinking.

"Nope, I'm just not into people," the teenager said, getting onto the elevator. "Come on, before the doors close," he said, motioning for them to enter.

"Wait, if he's….then why….what about….Why was he talking to the girl like that?" Matt whispered to L.

"I don't want to know…." L replied.


Second Author's Note: Well, wasn't that fun? Yeah, actually, this was my least favorite chapter because it sucks. I was going to add more, but I liked where I ended it more. BTW, if there's something you want to happen in the story, then tell me! I'll try to make it happen. But no promises. Oh, and, just so you know, I will not being doing any hard-core MelloxMatt, or MelloxNear, or MattxNear in this story, because they're just kids. So don't expect too much. Also, no, Beyond doesn't get together with the girl at the front desk, but there was a reason why I added that, so keep that in mind. And, I know, the clausterphobia thing with Near was mean, but that's actually happened to me, and I didn't want to feel like the only looser who's ever felt closterphobic in a limo. And sitting on the floor really didn't help that much...BUT, the whole realizing-L-doesn't-wear-shoes is my excuse for why Near doesn't wear shoes now, just so ya know.

So, I will try to update faster next time. Sorry my story sucks, but if you leave a review saying exactly why it sucks then I can fix it for ya ^.^ I like reviews ^.^ They make me happy ^.^

Oh, one more thing (I talk wayy too much!), so, I was wondering which is better; crazy like the last chapter, or slightly more serious like this one. I want your opinion because I feel like the last one was more fun than this one (and it means you have to leave a review! Brew-haha!)
