I'll try to speed it up with the updates because I've got about a couple more chapters in mind. I'm going to change the rating on this story because of the cursing and the abuse. Before I forget, I'm starting to look for a beta-reader because I need someone else's opinons (other than my own) whenever I write a story. So if you are a beta-reader, send me PM or leave a review responding to the request.

Okay well...on with the story!

This used to be a funhouse,

But now its filled with evil clowns…

-Pink, Funhouse

"Ugh. My head…"

The sound of someone's voice pulled me out of the rage-filled haze my mind was in. Hesitatingly, I turned my head around and looked at the bed. Relief washed over to me when I noticed Matt moving.

"I thought you were dead!"

With a weak smile he said, "It takes a lot more than a couple of bruises to kill me."

I just shook my head, feeling pity for him and me.

"What the fuck was wrong with him yesterday?!"

"Well…whenever he makes any contact with Near, he gets like that."

"And why didn't you tell me!"

"Because I forgot?"

I just chuckled at him and headed towards the door. A small smile started to form on my face when I heard him turn on the Wii.

'Apparently nothing can stop that boy from playing video games…'

I held my head down and walked towards the kitchen to get something to eat. Not everyone can live off of chocolate and video games.

"While you were wasting time sleeping, I went out and found something for you guys to do."

My head snapped up and looked at Mello. I stepped back a little because I was still a little scared of him. I noticed right away that his eyes didn't have the same unstable look from last night.

"Oh really? Thanks, I'll make sure to get right on it."

As if he didn't notice my sarcasm, he continued to talk.

"I have placed many cameras in Misa Amane's house and I want you guys to monitor everything that she does."

"Why her?"

As if he was amazed at my stupidity he said, "Because all signs point to her being the second Kira."

I just walked past him and grabbed a bowl from the cabinet.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm getting something to eat."

"Your wasting time."

Ignoring what he said I continued to prepare a bowl of cereal for me to eat. Carefully I set the filled bowl down on the table and sat down to eat it.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll start after I'm done eating."

With an angry grunt, Mello stormed out of the kitchen, probably to go and look for Matt. After eating my breakfast, I washed the bowl and settled down on the couch in the living room to start watching the cameras in Misa's house. I didn't even notice that the computers and screens that I was using was obviously stolen.

After staring at this hyper blonde walk around her house for a couple of hours I started to wonder why it was so quiet in here. I got up off the couch and walked towards the game room. I opened up the door and expected to see someone in there. To my surprise, the room was empty. Repeating the same process with the other rooms I realized that I was alone. I walked out of my room and walked back towards the living room.

"And why aren't you watching the screens?!"

I jumped a little when I hear a voice come out of nowhere.

"Oh shit. Don't scare me like that, Mello."

He just shot me a death glare and walked away. I just shrugged my shoulders and walked over to where Matt was standing. I winced when I got close enough to him because I could see the damage that was done to his face. His nose looked crooked while the cut on his forehead turned a yellowish color.

"Do you want to go to a doctor?"

"Why? It's nothing. I'll heal…I always do…"

I wanted to pester him more about getting checked out, but decided against it. There was something in his voice that really made me feel sorry for him.

"When did you leave and where did you guys go?"

"Well we left in the afternoon and I had to follow some bubbly Japanese girl for the rest of the day."

'They must have passed by me without i ever noticing it.'

"Get out! Really? I had to watch her walk back and forth in her apartment for hours."

"That sounds a whole lot easier than what I had to do."

"How was it harder than what I had to do? All you have to do is watch her and stay out of sight. How did you have trouble with that?"

Before he could answer the deafening sound of a gunshot rang throughout the room.

'What if the neighbors heard that?'

I was about to turn around, but was stopped when someone put their hand on my shoulder. I looked at Matt, who was still standing next to me, with a questing look on my face. He looked right back at me and mouthed the words, Brace yourself.

'For what…'

I got my answer when I felt my body getting pushed forward. Pain shot throughout my body when it collided into the wall. The concrete dug into my face and cut into my hands. I opened eyes and found myself looking at Matt. He had the same pain-filled look that I probably had on my face.

The hand on my shoulder started to clench harder, causing the nails to dig painfully into my skin. Anytime I tried to open my mouth to speak I had the shut it back because the pain was too great to endure. I didn't even try to think of the other things that was probably broken. Matt was the only person brave enough to talk and break the harsh silence that we were in.

"Mello, calm down."

'Matt, shut the fuck up!'

The hand on my shoulder shifted to grab my arm just so he can spin us around to face him. My back was slammed onto the wall and I winced at the pain.

"Calm down? You're telling me to calm down?"

'Shit…'

"How can I calm down when you guys are wasting time by talking about bullshit!"

I opened my mouth to explain, but I shut it back. Apparently he saw that so he punched me in the stomach. My body threatened to crumple onto the ground, but I had to clench my teeth and bear the pain.

"You both have something to do and I don't see you doing it!"

Tears started to roll down my face before I could stop them. The tears mixed with the blood running down from the various cuts on my face. Red tears dropped and landed on the collar of my shirt.

With fake sympathy, Mello said, "Aww. Is the little bitch crying?"

He started to laugh at me after he said that. It wasn't a ha ha type of laugh, it was a truly evil sounding laugh. He let go of both of our arms and threw us down on the ground.

In a ultra fake sweet voice he said, "Now don't let me catch you guys off task again, or else there will be hell to pay."

After he said that, Mello walked out of the room and into my room, that I had kindly let him sleep in when he was passed out a couple days ago. I just lied on the ground and stared up at the ceiling, just trying to ignore the gut-wrenching pain.

"Come on, you've got to get up. Just grit your teeth and smile through the pain. That's what I do."

I listened to Matt and nearly cried out when I slowly got off the ground.

"Okay let me just get the first aid kit out of the bathroom."

I limped over to the bathroom because I landed on my leg when I got thrown onto the floor. I grabbed the kit and walked back towards the living room. I sat down next to Matt and opened the box in front of us. I grabbed on of the bottles of alcohol and put it on every one of the cuts and my face and hands. Ignoring the burn, I pulled out a box of bandages and put one on every cut. A roll of gauze had to be wrapped around my leg and it had to be placed over the large cut (from the explosion) because it was bleeding again. After I finished I took a clean towel and wiped off the rest of the blood off of me.

I turned to face Matt and started laughing because he looked like a mummy. His hand shot out and covered my mouth, cutting off a laugh. He put his finger in front of his mouth signifying that I had to be quiet. He retracted the after I nodded in an understanding.

"Well…lets get back to work."

He and I walked (and limped) over to the couch to watch Misa again. She appeared to be sleeping so we just sat there watching her sleep. After doing that for a couple of hours, I started to get tired. So I suggested that we take turns sleeping and watching the girl.

Matt just looked at me, which caused the screen to cast shadows on his face and said, "Is sleeping really worth it?"

I thought about it for a moment and shook my head yes.

"If I'm tired all day, that means that I won't be able to do my work. So this plan has long term benefits."

He just shook his head at me and went back to looking at the screens.

"Whatever. Just wake me up in an hour."

He mumbled something, while simultaneously taking out my old PSP out his vest pocket. I looked at his fuzzy beige vest and striped black and white vest for a second.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a weird fashion sense."

"Nope."

With a smile, I fell into a somewhat fitful sleep.

'I really hope that I don't regret doing this.'
