~Nana's P.O.V~

"Well, it looks like the bruising is just about gone and the cuts are healing up nicely as well." Watari stated while applying some ointment on my arms. I nodded and slightly winced as he brushed over one of my deeper cuts from that night.

It had been almost a week since we captured that serial rapist, and while I was happy he was now behind bars on death row, I still had the bruises and cuts to show from our little 'meeting'.

"All done." Watari said while smiling kindly at me. He patted my knee and stood up, taking the rest of the emergency kit supplies with him.

"Thanks again, Watari. You didn't have to take me…" I laughed while rubbing the back of my head.

He shook his head while walking towards my bedroom door. "It's never a problem, Nana. Besides, after what you had to go through, this is the least I can do. L also sends his thanks."

I nodded at this and watched him walk out my bedroom. Before he could shut the door though, I followed after him.

"How is L, by the way? I haven't seen him in a bit…" I started.

Chuckling, Watari turned to me. "He was away on a mission. He came back early this morning and has been filing paperwork. I think he is done by now, though."

I nodded and smiled, thanking Watari for the information.

And with that, he went down to the kitchen.

Probably to get L sweets…

"Oh! I still haven't met him yet…" I pondered to myself while tapping my chin.

I decided to go to Matt's room to see about this mystery person in Wammy House.

I was really excited to meet him, like REALLY excited!

Although, that was mostly because whoever he was, he bothered Mello.

I laughed evilly to myself.

Oh, I was DEFINETLY going to meet this guy soon.

"Hey Matt!" I yelled while barging into his room. He nearly toppled over on the floor when he saw me.

"Jeez, Nana! At least knock! You know how I get when I'm playing one of my games…" He complained while sighing. I laughed slightly and rubbed the back of my head.

"Yeah, I forgot Matty. Sorry about that."

Matt glared at me as the little nickname I gave him rolled off my tongue.

"Something wrong, Matty?" I asked while smirking.

Rolling his eyes, Matt ignored me and turned back to the computer game he was playing.

Sighing, I walked over to his bed and slumped on it.

"So…" I started.

Matt didn't say anything.

I inwardly sighed to myself.

"Matt."

He ignored me.

"Matt." I tried again.

No reply.

"MATTY IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL DESTROY ALL THE GAMES IN THIS ROOM SO HELP ME G-"

"Ok, ok! What do you want?" He asked frantically, hands held up in the air.

I smiled and sat up.

"I just wanted to know when I'd get to meet him. You know, the guy you were telling me about last week? I thought I would get to meet him already." I asked while slightly pouting.

My lightly chuckled at my question and relaxed in his chair.

"That's right, I almost forgot." He began. He tousled his hair slightly and sighed.

"But I'm actually not sure. Honestly N isn't the most social of people."

My ears peaked at this.

"N? Is that his alias? That's who L must have been talking about…" I thought aloud while remembering our past conversation about my own alias.

"L talked about him?" Matt asked curiously.

I half-nodded. "Kind of, but not really. We were just discussing my alias and N slipped into the conversation. To put it bluntly, we had an 'N' so I couldn't be N. Not that I wanted to anyway." I began rambling.

Matt laughed at this and patted his knees.

"Well, how about we go see him then? I'm sure it'll be an experience for you both." Matt stated while slightly smirking.

"Should I be worried?" I then asked.

"Hm…" He began.

He leaned on his elbows.

"Maybe."

"So his room was here all along? Shows how much I know about this place." I mumbled to myself.

I stared at the door the was directly next to mine.

It's a small world.

"Yeah. He's been here all along." Matt replied. He fumbled with a cigarette in his hand.

"While, I'm going to get a light. If he scares you off, you know where I am Nana." Matt finished, a slight smirk on his face.

Before I could ask what he meant by 'scares you off,' he was already down the hall and shutting the door to his room.

Sighing, I turned to the door in front of me.

"Alright, nothing to be worried about. He's probably just a kid. A freakishly smart kid, I'm sure, but a kid." I spoke to myself.

I held my hand up to knock on his door, but faltered just as I was about to.

Frowning, I wondered what was holding me back.

I then shrugged.

"Oh well."

…and then I knocked.

For a moment, I couldn't hear anything. It almost sounded as if no one was in the room at all.

Then, I heard shuffling. It was a light shuffle, but it was there.

But no one answered the door.

So, being me, I tried again.

Because I'm horrible at taking hints, apparently.

"Hey, it's Nana? The new girl who happens to be your next door neighbor?" I began awkwardly while knocking on the door again.

But again, there was no reply.

Sighing, I decided that I would try again another day, and began to walk towards my room.

However, when I heard his door open slightly, I stopped in my tracks.

"Curious." I stated to myself quietly.

I then walked back over to his room and slowly pushed the door open.

I was quite shocked by what I saw, and I'm pretty sure I looked like an idiot because my mouth was wide open.

The walls were all white, and as was the carpet on the floor. There were children's toys spread all throughout the room as well as multiple puzzles and dolls.

Was this 'kid' younger than I had initially thought?

"Name: Nanami Takahashi. Alias: Nana. Transferred here due to her 'special' qualities. However, the only thing that looks 'special' about you is the lack of natural coloring in your hair and your wide mouth." Said a monotone voice.

I closed my mouth and turned in the direction that the voice came, and noticted a corner of cards that were piled up and organized to make a mini-castle.

It was only a little, but I could see the top of someone's head slightly appearing from the top of the card castle.

Then, I suddenly felt my cheeks flush and my hands ball into fists at his comment.

"Excuse me? How can you come to such conclusions when you don't even know me…you…you..brat!" I hissed while pointing in his direction.

Fuck getting to know the kid and becoming 'best buds' with him so I could bother Mello. He was right the other day when he said he's a straight up brat.

Gah!

Mello being right!

I bit my tongue for even thinking that.

But it was TRUE. Damn…

I was pulled out of my little world as I heard shuffling and turned my attention back to the house of cards.

What I saw surprised me even more.

In front of me (albeit, still on the other side of the room) stood a young boy…probably no more than 13 or 14 years old. He had snow white hair and light gray eyes. His clothing matched his hair and walls, as he wore an all-white pajama shirt and pants. He finished his outfit off by wearing no shoes.

I chuckled inwardly as I thought of a certain someone with the same trait.

"Well, don't you look like a little snowball." I mused while smirking to myself.

However, my comment didn't seem to faze him, and he completely ignored my presence.

I crossed my arms and watched as he began to play with a pair of dolls.

"Who are they?" I then asked.

For a moment, I saw his fingers twitch, but then he went back to playing with his dolls.

"Oh come on." I started, dropping my arms to my sides.

I then walked over to the center of the room where he was playing with his dolls and sat cross-legged across from him.

For about 10 minutes, nothing was said. I just watched him play with his dolls.

…

And another ten minutes…

IS THIS ALL HE DID ALL FREAKING DAY?

"So," I started.

"So." He replied almost right away, which actually really surprised me.

I leaned back on my arms and tilted my head, watching him.

"What's your name?" I asked.

He paused, and then looked me straight in the eyes.

That surprised me as well, as they were cold and dull…almost lifeless.

"You're supposed to keep all important information in your mind only." He simply replied, still staring at me.

While his eyes were different than L's, he still had that analytical look to them, like he was trying to figure everything about me out. My past, my present, even my future.

Another uncomfortable silence came, and I found that this kid must have been socially awkward, or something to that effect.

Matt did mention that he really didn't talk to people much.

"Well, even though you already know, Mine's Nana." I then stated while watching him put some new clothes on his dolls.

The only response I got from him was a slight stare.

Sighing inwardly to myself, I stood.

"Look, I get it. You don't really like interacting with other people. But, if you ever feel like talking…or maybe just sitting in the same room with someone, feel free to come next door." I said while motioning to my room.

"Or, you know, I could just come here and bother you until you do." I finished while smirking proudly.

N looked up at me at the comment, a look of slight panic crossing his eyes before he masked it again with an empty façade.

"I'll think about it." He replied quietly.

I nodded, happy with that answer.

"See yah later than, N." I said while waving to him.

I then made my way towards his door, but stopped just as I was going to open it.

"Just so you know, you're pretty cute…for a kid." I said while sending him a wink.

I didn't get a chance to see how he reacted, because as quickly as I could, I left his room and shut the door behind me.

I chuckled to myself and decided to go back to Matt's room, as he wanted me to tell him how meeting N would go.

However, when I got to his room, he wasn't in it.

Shrugging, I decided what else I could do.

Suddenly, a light popped in my head.

"Aha!" I said out loud.

I walked down the now familiar hallways until I came across L's door.

I hadn't seen him in almost a week, and to be honest, I missed his strangeness, even if he had managed to piss me off a couple times by not being aware of his own actions.

Though, I was able to get him back on both accounts.

I knocked on his door twice, and received a 'come in' almost right away.

"Hey, L." I said while smiling.

"Nana. It's good that you're here. I have some things I need to discuss with you." He replied back, his face serious.

Oh boy.

Alright, well that's it for chapter 10!

Nana got to meet N! How do you think it went? Not my best, and a slight filler, but I needed her to meet N. And what about what N thought of their little meeting?

And I wonder what L needs to discuss with Nana?

SO MANY QUESTIONSSSS!

Also, look forward to some Nana on L/Mello fluff next chapter!

So, stay tuned!
