DISCLAIMER: I do not own Deathnote, any of it's characters, or any of the random other things that may be referenced. Scorche is property of Asheiya, Kurai is property of evilanimeninja, and Mizu is property of an anonymous friend of mine (I have their permission to use these characters!). However, Azami, and the plot belong to me!

Zepheira: I don't really have anything to say really...

Azami: I can't believe you left me out of this chapter too! D;

Zepheira: Shut up, I guarantee that you'll be in the next one.

Azami: Fine.

Zepheira:Sorry if anyone's OOC. :(

Azami: Enjoy the chapter! ;)


"GAH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING GET THE FRIG OFF ME!" The other passengers frowned at the sudden swearing and shouting.

Mello was trying to forcefully remove Scorche's grip from around his chest, but he would have had an easier time trying to eat a metal bagel without chipping a tooth. (Don't ask.)

The other four orphans were barely containing their laughter as Mello tried to pry her off. Mizu, who sat just across the aisle from Matt, was the first of the four to be able to speak.

"Scorche, you're afraid of heights, aren't you?" Scorche nodded reluctantly into Mello's chest. Everyone paused to think about how horrible it must be for her to be up who knows how high in a large piece of flying metal, and sitting next to a window at that.

They all watched as Mello's attempts grew more feeble, and eventually petered out all together. He sighed and rearranged himself to get comfortable. "This is going to be one hell of a long flight."

-A few hours later, Scorche's POV-

2 hours after take off somehow I finally managed to fall into sleep, but an hour later I was woken up by an ungrateful brat kicking the back of my seat. I was about to turn around to tell the kid 'Stop kicking my seat before I rip your legs off' when I realized that I couldn't.

My face blushed crimson as I noticed Mello's warm arms curled around me. His soft breath tickling my face every time he exhaled. His expression was peaceful as he slept, curled inside my arms and I in his.

For once I forgot of my fear and just sat dazed, staring into Mello's sleeping face, I seemed captivated somehow. I opened my mouth slightly to say something, but found that I couldn't speak as his eyes slid open.

He looked around, momentarily bewildered from just waking up, but as he realized our position he stared into my eyes. His gaze turned somewhat questioning as he leaned forward.

I leaned in slightly. It felt like my heart exploded as my lips met his. My eyes fell closed and my arms pulled him closer. We were interrupted by a small cough.

-3rd person POV-

Mello swung around to find Matt staring at us with wide eyes, causing Mello to blush. Matt received a hard punch to the shoulder, and a finger was press against the end of his nose.

"You tell anyone about this and you'll be missing your face afterwards!" Mello whisper-yelled. Matt swallowed nervously. "Ok, ok, fine."

Scorche sighed contentedly causing both boys to turn to watch her newly found happy state of mind. Mello smirked triumphantly, deducting that it was him who was the cause of the sudden mood change.

Matt could barely contain his amusement. Scorche had (finally) released Mello from her iron grip and Mello stretched his arms above his head. The cracking from his back caused Mizu to wake up.

-Mizu's POV-

I was awakened by a strange cracking noise. I opened my eyes to find the source of my disturbance was coming from Mello's stretched out back. I groaned and readjusted my position.

'Hey, it looks like Scorche is doing better. I'll have to fix that.' "Hey Scorche, looks like your feeling better hey?" She nodded cautiously in reply.

"Yah, that's great that you forgot about the fact that we're flying up in a giant piece of metal, who knows how many THOUSANDS of feet high we are right now."

Scorche paled and the shaking started up again, her titanium grip back in place. '...Well that's kinda weird... Mello didn't react at all this time... Hmm.' Mello hadn't even tensed as Scorche began holding onto him again, in fact, he almost seemed to be leaning into the embrace.

I leaned towards Matt to whisper into his ear. "What the freaking hell is wrong with them?" Matt frowned. "I've been swore to secrecy." I smirked.

"Oh, so something naughty then?" Matt grinned. "Something like that." I laughed quietly and sat back in my seat. "Hey Mello, enjoying your new girlfriend?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Shut your face you idiot, she's not my girlfriend, she's just freaked out, NO THANKS TO YOU." He actually managed to keep his voice down, until the last part anyways. Sadly, this caused Kurai and Near to be pulled out of sleep.

'Wait a second... Mello, DEFENDING SOMEONE! Somebody call the police, I think the world might be about to explode.' Near yawned and Kurai shook her head. "Where's the coffee?" She groaned.

Luckily enough for her a flight attendant was just passing by. "I can get that for you, would anyone else like anything?"

Mello: "I'll have anything chocolate." Matt: "Can I have a pack of peanuts?" Kurai: "I'm good with just coffee." I yawned. "And I'll take a pack of mints if you have any."

She nodded then hurried away to fulfill our requests. Matt raised his eyebrow. "Why mints?" I smiled. "Azami bait, just in case." Understanding covered his face and he went back to playing his PSP.

-11 hours and 45 minutes later-

A flight attendant's voice filled the airplane. "We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but our flight will be arriving ten minutes later than scheduled."

Kurai scowled. "Wow, well that just wasted ten minutes of my life." Mizu looked over at her curiously. "What's up Rai?" "Don't call me that!" "Whoa, calm down there buddy, what's wrong?"

Kurai's eyes narrowed menacingly. "We're late." Kurai stared at Mizu, waiting for her to finish and started laughing when she realized that she had. "Boy, do I know some weird people."

This statement caused both groups to turn and glare at her. She smiled angelically. "What's wrong?" Mizu taunted.

-A few minutes later after disembarkment-

"Maybe we should stick together." Matt suggested as the tired (from only sleeping for a couple hours) group finally walked away from the plane.

Everyone looked at him and started laughing. "What? We would be able to cover more ground, and work more efficiently in general." "True Matt, but that would mean I would have to work with Near, and that right there is one of the stupidest ideas that has ever come out of your mouth."

Mello declared, causing Matt to remain quiet. Scorche pulled a map from her pocket. "Come on guys, there's a bus that leads right to the police station, let's go." She started walking, but instead of being followed by just Mello and Matt, Near, Mizu and Kurai trailed after her as well.

Mello was the first to notice. "Hey, get the hell away from us, you trying to cheat or something?" "We are also taking the bus, since it is the most effective way of transportation to the police station." Near argued apathetically.

Scorche sighed and rolled her eyes. "Come on Mello, just ignore them." Mello grunted but followed Scorche's advice.

-Later, at the police station-

"Excuse me, I'm here to talk to..." Scorche leaned in closer, looked from left to right, then lowered her voice to a whisper. "L." The secretary seemed utterly confused.

"L? The detective?" Scorche rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me princess, we know he's here." She shook her head. "No, I really have no idea what you're talking about."

Scorche's face fell into her palm. "Please at least let me speak to someone in charge." The secretary nodded. "I-I suppose that's all right." She walked away leaving the six orphans to study the large, but boring room. A few minutes later in stepped the secretary, escorted by a man with glasses and a moustache.
