Hey readers! Sorry it took so long! My computer has been down, not to mention I have been getting ready for the end of school! My "fun chapter" is going to come off of the story. One of my readers reviewed my story and said they didn't like how it messed up the chapter names. And they are absolutely right!! It bothered me too when I first put it up, so it is simply going to disappear. DON'T WORRY!! I will make more fun chapters, but they will simply go at the end of the entire story line! And to the person who reviewed (you know who you are) I am NOT offended by your comment. In fact, I look for more criticism towards my writing. This really helped me, so I would like to thank L wants your cookie for letting me know that it bothered you! THANKIES!!

Finally!! Chapter 4 is up!

Chapter 4

I was a bit freaked out about the whole situation. …okay, I lied. I was very freaked out. They were expecting me? How did they know I was coming? Did Watari have anything to do with this?

That's it!! Watari must have left the box of strawberry shortcake and his wallet at the shop on purpose! But why? How could he have known that I would bring his stuff back to him? Could he just trust me like that? Or was this a test? Whatever it was, I would have to suck it up and bring it on.

"This way please!!" the man at the front desk exclaimed cheerfully, leading the way towards the elevator. This put me even more on my toes as I strained myself to walk after him. My paranoia was definitely kicking up a few notches.

XXXXXXX

I was getting very, very annoyed with the man. He kept looking at me…..and smiling like a maniac! I carefully increased the space between us, trying to smile back, only it looked like I just swallowed a fly. Oh, how I wished I was out of that elevator…

After what seemed like eternity, the elevator came to a soft stop. The desk man smiled his big teeth at me, once again exclaiming "This way please!!" while walking like a robot down the hall. I could feel a sweat drop running down the back of my neck. Whatever I just got myself into now, it better be worth it! Because I'll probably have a heart attack once I get wherever the heck this robotic man is taking me!!

XXXXXXX

"Please, right this way! Now we're going to turn…good!! Now, right this-"

"SHUT-UP!!" I yelled, the stress of the whole situation finally breaking through. "I get it! Just. Keep. WALKING! It's not like I'm gonna run away! I would just get myself lost!!" That made him shut-up. I could see the sweat drops rolling down his face, eyes wide with surprise. He turned around and started walking again. I chuckled evilly to myself. Now it was all me.

"….Ms. Weden? Is that you?" I looked up to see none other than the forgetful Watari himself.

"…WATARI! AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU! This guy is freaking me out!! Where is he taking me?! I NEED ANSWERS! I'M ABOUT TO GO CRAZY!" I yelled, surprising the two men, and even myself. I quickly clasped my hand over my mouth and looked at Watari in horror.

"…uh, I apologize for that. I'm just very stressed at the moment." I smiled apologetically at the elderly man. Watari chuckled a bit and patted my hand.

"It's quite alright, Ms. Weden, nobody here is going to harm you. Mr. Hatsumaru, you may leave now; your services are no longer needed." As the other man walked away, Watari cleared his throat and straightened himself up. "Right, now would you please follow me?" He started to lead the way, but I gently grabbed the cuff of his jacket to stop him.

"Watari? Why am I here? What exactly is going on?" I asked calmly, feeling somewhat scared. Watari looked at me with a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry. All of your questions will be answered shortly." I found myself calming down and following Watari down the hall.

XXXXXXXX

'Okay, now I have no idea where we are. It's like a giant maze in here. If I tried to run away, I would surely get myself lost.' I thought to myself, playing with the bottom of my wool shirt while following Watari. I tend to do that when I am nervous.

Watari led me down a hallway that had only one door at the very end. I could feel my heartbeat getting faster as the elderly man's hand slowly reached for the doorknob. I felt my breathing stop as he turned it, slightly opening the door; he then turned to me, smiled like the kind old person he is, and opened the door the rest of the way.

My eyes widened. I let go of my held breath, walking after Watari in the large, somewhat furnished room. There was a medium-sized table somewhat in the center of the room with a few chairs. On the far-side of the room was a large, cushiony looking couch, pillows thrown around on it.

Watari walked over to a nearby door, which looked like a bedroom door, and knocked on it four times softly. Don't ask me why I noticed this, I just did. He then quickly entered, leaving me to be by myself for a few minutes.

I walked over to the couch and sat down, picking up a pillow and putting my face in it, relaxing some. This whole situation was stressful, but ever since the robot man left, I felt more at ease. He was probably just hired or something.

I guess I dozed off, because the next thing I know, I'm being poked in the shoulder.

"I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long," the voice said. I eeped loudly and jumped off the couch, clutching the pillow to my chest.

Sitting, or squatting I should say, was a man with shoulder length, raven black hair that was sort of spiky, his dark eyes wide, bags underneath them, evident of sleep deprivation. He looked very pale, like he never went out into the public. He creeped me out, but only a little. He looked harmless enough.

I caught myself still staring at him. I quickly looked away and coughed.

"Umm, sorry. You just startled me." I spoke politely, turning my face back to face him. He just started to bite his thumb, still staring intently into my eyes. I felt myself blush from embarrassment.

"…well…" I started, but Watari spoke before I could ask.

"This is L. He is the young man that I spoke to you about the other day." My jaw dropped.

"…AND HE'S NOT FAT?!" I looked quickly from Watari to the man called L several times, becoming strangely confused. Watari just chuckled.

I looked back towards L, who kept staring at me. I sighed, trying to collect my thoughts before I opened my mouth again. I didn't want to humiliate myself with some retarded comment.

"So, L, why am I here? You must have lured me here for some purpose, correct?" I asked him, eying him questionably. He looked down for a moment, as if to gather his thoughts before answering my questions.

"…I want you to return to America with me."

Everything froze. My breath escaped me once again as I tried to compute his statement in my brain.

"…say wha…?"

A.N.:

Heehee, sorry it took so long. I got lazy because of all the crap I had to do for the end of school, not to mention I had a writer's block bigger than you can imagine. I typed up the first half of the story like 2 weeks before I finished it today. Here are some answers to some readers questions (if you noticed). Number one: I hate elevators. I almost got sick writing that part. (They freak me out!!) Number two: I eep. Every time one of my friends finds a tickle spot on me, I eep. They enjoy tormenting me…..grr. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I shall try to post #5 as soon as possible!!
