Seventh chapter. :D
Sorry for the long wait.

Matt and Mello never ever did any research on Kuro's background information, so needless to say, the girl knew hardly anything about herself. Strange, indeed.
Ozaki Kuro.
Slender pale fingers typed in these letters, one by one.
She finally got access to a computer, Matt's computer, to be exact. He and Mello left the building for some strange business, which couldn't interest the black haired maiden that much.
"Let's see…" With the cursor she clicked upon the first result, some popular profile page.
Her pitch black eyes scanned over the cute looking layout and read the small letters.
It was a small story about herself, what she liked and in what region of Japan she lived.
She scrolled down and noticed a few recent comments on her page.

Kuro, my sweetie.
I know you will probably not read this, since you have been missing for months.
I miss you so much! You were truly my best friend.
One day we will be reunited again.
Miss you.

Kuro blinked a few times. She had no recollection of the person writing that comment.
It was a girl, named Shiro. Even the picture of her past life friend did not ring a bell.
"Shiro…"
The black haired girl bit her bottom lip. She felt bad for not remembering anything.

What happened to you?
Whoever took you away from us?!
Kuro, wherever you are, I hope you have peace.
I love you.

Who are these people? Who are they?! Kuro panicked.
Abruptly she got up, knocking over the chair she was sitting on.
This was not good. How could it be that she didn't remember anything?!
Behind her stood Hikaru, his eyes were glistering evilly in the small ray of light slipping through the curtains. He terrified her at that very moment.
The only thing she could do was stare at him.
"Ozaki Kuro." A playful smirk appeared on his face as he spoke. "Trouble?"
"I –I … I don't remember, anything."
"The price thou paid for life."
"I never asked for it!" Suddenly she felt angry.
She was given something, no, something was forced upon her.
Hikaru seemed to enjoy the whirlwind of emotions which raged inside her.
All he did was grin. It was making her terribly angry.
She picked up the Death Note and tossed it in Hikaru's direction.
"I wish I was dead!"

Silence.

Pitch black eyes widened as the tall Shinigami glared at her. He was standing dangerously close.
Kuro never felt more scared in her life. He was looking so demonic.
"Ozaki Kuro."
He lifted his bony hand and trailed his long finger from the bruises on her neck to her jaw line.
The black haired girl inhaled sharply and held her breath.
What was he going to do? Tons of possibilities floated through her mind.
"Is dead."
Hikaru grinned darkly. Kuro was absolutely sure that he knew something else.
Something he was keeping a secret.
But she didn't dare to ask. No, not now.

"I want to remember." She spoke firmly, staring directly into the Shinigami's eyes.
Hikaru chuckled lowly and shook his head.
"The price paid."
The black haired girl narrowed her eyes. "Why?"
"Ozaki Kuro, thou hath great importance. Realize this."
Kuro puffed up her cheeks with air. This discussion was going nowhere.
All he did was talk in stupid forms and tell her useless things.
