Me: There's a time skip in this chapter, just to let you know.

Once again, I don't own Death Note, only my OCs.

Chapter 4 Typical day

"Hey Pinkie Pie. Wanna play some soccer?"

Platina raised her head from the manga book she was reading, looking at the 14 year old standing over her. Several years had past since Platina was taken in by Wammy's house. The pink haired had changed since then, from being shy to opening up to her friends. Her hair now sat at her waist, and most of the time she had her goggles pushing away her bangs.

Platina gave the teen a smirk, closing her manga book. "Sure. Hope you aren't too mad when you lose again Mello.

Mello scoffed. "It was just a lucky break last time Bubblegum."

Platina smirked. "Sure it was."

The two teens had a bizarre friendship, at least that's what a lot of people thought. Mello would insult her hair, and in return Platina would retort by insulting his habits of eating chocolate or mock him in a way.

Mello rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Let's just get this over with."

Platina stood up and straightened out her clothing. Since she joined Wammy's house, Platina had changed up her wardrobe a bit, wearing a pair of purple pants with blue lightning bolts, a gold t-shirt with a white hoodie, and bronze colored boots. She also wore a pair of purple and white headphones around her neck, in case she wanted to block out any unwanted noises.

Mello tossed the pink haired teen the soccer ball in his arms, who caught it before kicking it back to him. Mello nodded. "You've been practicing." he stated.

"In my free time. Anyone know where Matt, Near, or my older sister is?"

Mello shrugged. "Haven't seen Matt or Valour since this morning. And Near's probably in the library."

"Someone looking for me?"

Platina smiled as Valour walked over, a lollipop in the teen's mouth. The two had a strong friendship, considering each other as sisters, due to their tight bond. Valour was also now the same age as Mello, wearing a purple hoodie, blue jeans, and a pair of pink boots.

Valour pulled out her lollipop and looked at Mello. "Roger was looking for you Mello. He wanted to see you and Near in his office. Something about L." The teen stated.

Platina brightened up. "Is L coming?" she asked.

"I don't know. But it sounded important."

Mello nodded. "Thanks Val. Later Pinkie Pie." the blonde stated as he walked away.

Platina sighed. "I don't know how you two are dating honestly." She stated.

Valour smiled. "It's comes from years of dealing with him. You hungry?"

"Yeah. What's on the menu today?"

"I think I heard pizza tonight, with french fries, onion rings, and a salad as the sides with Gelato for dessert."

"Any soda?"

"I heard Ramune."

"Oh thank goodness. I'll have to get a few extra, my supplies is down to two bottles."

"You could always ask Matt. He's willing to help."

Platina laughed. The group they had formed was tightly packed and odd. Platina would always drink Ramune and eat snacks. Valour always had a lollipop in her mouth. Mello and Matt had their chocolate and video games respectively. And Near would always be playing with his toys. To Platina, it was perfectly normal.

"Hey Diamante."

Platina spotted Matt walking over to her and Valour. "Hey Matt. What's up?"

"Not a lot. Still trying to defeat Pokemon Diamond. That game's tough. And of course there's new pokemon."

Platina chuckled. "Well, you gotta catch them all. Still getting pokemon plushies?"

"Of course. I just ordered a shaymin and jirachi plushie for your collection."

"Sweet."

Platina and Matt were gaming buddies, with an odd deal. Platina would make gaming props for him, and Matt would buy her pokemon plushies. It was like that since Platina got addicted to the pokemon game Matt gave her when she first arrived.

Matt and Platina were quiet for a few minutes before the former spoke up. "So... Any news from L yet?"

Platina shook her head. "Not yet. I hope something bad didn't happen. Remember the last time he spoke to us?"

"How could I forget? That was shortly after B left."

(Flashback)

"Welcome back L. It's been awhile."

Platina's eyes widen at the voice of Roger speaking to someone at the door. When L was mentioned, she jumped up and raced to where Roger was, a little surprised by how L looked at the moment.

L's white sweater had several bloodstains, mostly because of the attacker. His jeans were torn and wet from the rain outside. His hair was also wet.

"L-L-sempai? Are you okay?" Platina asked.

L looked over to the little girl and gave her a small smile. "It's just from the last case I was in. You don't have to worry about it. I'll be okay."

"Can you tell me about it?

"Maybe later. It's kinda complicated."

"Oh. Okay."

(End Flashback)

Platina looked down at the ground sadly. "I hope he's okay. He's kinda like... Well..." Platina paused.

"A fatherly figure?"

"Yeah. He brought me here when I first lost my... well you know."

"Your parents. I know."

Platina frowned. "Well, there's not a lot I can do to bring them back. I have to take care of myself and you guys." The teenager stated, a smile forming on her face.

Matt returned the smile. "Wanna go get some Ramune?"

Platina grinned. "Sure. My supply is running low anyways."

(Later)

"How you can sneak half a dozen bottles of ramune in your pocket and not get caught is beyond me Diamante." Matt stated later, carry six bottles of the sweet japanese soda to Platina and Valour's room.

Platina smirked. "Extra deep inside pockets on my hoodie helps a lot."

"Yeah, no kidding. That's how you sneak the kitkats too, I'm guessing."

"Exactly."

Matt and Platina laughed as they entered the teen's dorm. Over the years, most of the students that lived at Wammy's house referenced her as the collecter, due to the large amount of stuff she had. Pokemon plushies covered the top of her dresser. Her drawers were filled with nicknacks she had collected, including a yoyo, her video game systems, and various clothing she had gotten. Under her bed was a small wooden chest where she stored her snack and japanese soda.

"You are a packrat," Matt stated, placing the Ramune in the wooden chest.

"A tidy one though."

"That's true. but you're still a pack rat."

"It's a hard habit to break."

"True."

Platina smirked as she stored five of the Ramune she had in the chest, before opening the last one she held and taking a drink. "Whoever created Vanilla flavored Ramune is a genius." She stated as she pushed the chest back under the bed.

"I prefer the melon flavor." Matt stated as the two walked out of the room and closed the door.

"That one's good too. So is the chocolate, strawberry, and surprisingly the teriyaki flavor."

"Yeah, that one is good. I still remember when you first saw that flavor, noticed how all the others thought it looked gross, then grabbed a bottle and chugged it down before saying 'That taste better than it looks and sounds'"

"Well it is. Remember their faces when I did that?"

"Of course. They were totally shocked!"

Matt and Platina began laughing as they walked towards. the door to Roger's office, the adult just happening to open the door as the passed. "Perfect timing you two. Diamante, can I speak to you quickly. It's important."

Platina swallowed nervously and nodded. "S-Sure. Did I do anything wrong?" she asked.

"It's nothing like that. It's... Well... It's better if I told you once you got in here."

"S-Sure. See you later Matt."

Matt nodded. "Later Diamante."

Platina walked into Roger's office, a little surprised to see Mello and Near there as well. The teen stood next to Near, a little bit comfortable standing next to him. She wouldn't admit it, but she had developed a small crush on the little boy.

"Is something wrong Roger?" Platina asked.

Roger looked over at Platina, already looking ready to regret the words about to come out of his mouth. "I'm afraid L has passed away.

The ramune bottle in Platina's hand dropped to the floor and shattered.

Me: Ramune is a japanese soda, in case no one knew. It's really sweet tasting and yes, it does come in teriyaki flavor. I looked that up.

Please Read and Review. I'll try to get chapters up sooner.
