First of all I want to thank Foxykitsuneyouko for reviewing every chapter of my story and for adding my story. Also I would like to thank ArtismyEmoLove and MELLOXxROXxXSOX for adding my story. Sorry for the long gaps between my updates. I'll try to speed it up.

*******************************************************

"Touch me and die."

"What?"

"Nothing…so what's up?!"

I tried to sound casual and carefree, but it didn't seem to work as well as I planned.

"Why are you naked!"

I couldn't think of anything smart to say so I said, "Why aren't you?"

"Why aren't I-what?"

"Never mind. I just got out of the shower so that's why I'm naked."

"And your in here because…"

This conversation is getting unnecessary and uncomfortable so I started to look around for a distraction. My eyes stopped at a dart board nailed to the wall. It had a picture of a pale boy taped to it. His picture had a lot of darts stuck to it so I wondered who that was.

"Who's that?"

I pointed in the direction of the dartboard. When he turned his head in the same direction, his eyes got this strange look in them.

"That's Near"

The way he said the boy's name made me shiver. I stood behind him, waiting for him to explain who Near was. I looked up at him and noticed that he was glaring at the picture. While he was distracted I hurried up and put on my clothes. The shirt that I grabbed earlier was long enough to cover everything, but it was a little tight so it clung to me.

I slowly walked towards the door, but when I touched the knob my nose picked up the smell of chocolate. My mouth started to water because I haven't had any recently. My eyes frantically searched the room for the bar. I nearly pounced on the bed when I spotted the prize laying on the sheet. Slowly I unwrapped the bar just so I could savor the moment. Somehow the sound of the wrapper pulled Mello out of his trance. He shot a death glare from across the room.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm about to eat some chocolate."

"That's mine."

"And I care, why?"

I brought the bar to my mouth to take a bite, but out of nowhere he tackled me.

"What the fuck Mello!"

The bar was knocked onto the floor by the force of the blow. Quickly I scrambled to grab it, but I felt someone grab my legs and start to pull. I really wanted the bar so I looked back and kicked him in the face. My foot hit his nose and it stated to bleed. He let go of my foot and held his now bleeding nose. I looked him in the eye and gave the bar a lick.

With a smirk I said, "Want it now?"

With an evil laugh I ate the rest of the bar right in front of his face. When I finished I noticed that his left eye started to twitch.

With a low voice he said, "That was my last bar."

"His fingers started to wrap around the handle of a gun that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

'Fuck…'

"Well that's my cue to leave."

I made a break for the door before he grabbed me. I pulled the door open and ran out into the living room. I stopped suddenly when everybody in the room turned and stared at me. I acted as if I didn't notice when their eyes swept over my body. I resisted the urge to cringe at the unwanted attention.

"Who's this bitch?"

'Wow…I'm right here'

I opened my mouth to answer, but stopped because they weren't talking to me. The question that they asked was directed at Mello.

'When did he get here?'

"Well, she's…uh…."

I jumped in and said, "I'm a stripper!"

"Is this true, Mello?"

Everybody, including me, turned and looked at him for an answer.

"Well…."

'This isn't getting anywhere'

I decided to talk for him instead because he might mess everything up.

"Yup it's true."

One of the guys walked up and looked me up and down.

"So where do you work?"

"Well I work at a place called…umm….Stacks."

"Where's that?"

"Well it's on third street."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Candy Cane."

"Why are you called that."

"Well first of all I always wear stripes. The second reason is that…well let's just say I treat every guy I'm with like a candy cane."

"Why don't you give us a little preview of what you can do."

I looked around and spotted an exposed pipe against the wall. I walked closer to the pipe and inspected it to see if it can support my weight. It looked weak so I decided to dance on it instead of climbing on it. I grabbed the pole and started to dance on it in the same way that I normally dance.

When I finished I saw that lot of the guys in the room threw a bunch of ones at me.

'Wow that's a real self confidence booster.'

All this scene needed was some cheesy dance music and it would be perfect.

"When did you get here?"

The question caught me off guard for a second.

"Well…why don't ask Matt."

"Why would I ask him?"

"Because he paid for me to come over here as a birthday present for Mello."

"Really?"

Everybody turned around and looked at Matt, who had just walked into the room.

"Why is everybody staring at me?"

"When did the stripper get here?"

"Stripper?"

"Yeah the girl over there."

The guy pointed in my direction. Surprise, shock, and excitement flashed on his face.

With a smile on his face he said, "You're a stripper?!"

If he keeps on talking everybody will know that I'm lying.

"Yes I am a stripper."

I gave him a look that said 'play along or else'. Thankfully he understood what I was trying to tell him.

"Yeah she's right. I did get her as a present."

"See I told you guys that I wasn't lying."

"You look familiar."

I turned around and looked at the guy who said that. I imminently recognize the guy as one of the people who kidnapped me.

"Well, I've worked at a lot of clubs, so you might remember seeing me from there."

The guy nodded, but I had a feeling that he was still trying to remember my face.

"Well everybody out!"

"What?"

"Before I leave I have to give the birthday boy a special gift."

I pushed everybody, including Matt, out of the room.

After I shut the door I spun around and walked back to the room I'm normally in. When I was in the room I yelled, "Mello, I'm sleeping with you tonight!"

After I said that he ran into the room with a black notebook in his hand.

"Not like that you pervert. Hey what's that?"

I looked at the notebook and saw that it was called 'Death Note'.

"Hey isn't that the notebook that Kira uses to kill people?"

"How do you know?"

"Well I've been following the case closely and came to the conclusion when I hacked into the police files."

"Wow. Hey I was wondering do you want to help us with the case."

"Your really asking me that."

"Yeah. You just actually proved yourself smart enough to help me."

"I'm not sure if I should be happy that you asked or mad that you just basically insulted me."

"Is it a yes or a no."

"Attitude much. Fine since you're practically begging for my help I guess I could take some time out of my schedule to help you."

"Thanks, I guess."
