Now It's Nicole's turn to freak out! Anyone who read A Request for Change will know she occasionally heard voices in her head. It's now gotten worse than before…what does this mean?

Nicole's P.O.V.

I watched as Lolli stumbled into the room and landed face first on the ground. I went to help her up, but as I was half way to her, she started moving and getting up.

I thought she'd brought something with her, but when she got up, there was nothing. Strange.

She was shaking, and I noticed that the bandages on her fingers were either bleeding through or not even on her. She tried to hide them, and sat on them, which from my position looked really awkward. I noticed that L saw it too. I was going to ask her if she was alright but she started to talk before I could.

"Well then, you found Lover Boy, should I go? Don't want to interrupt your reunion." she said. I blushed. What is she saying?! I look over at L. He gave her a confused look, well, at least as confused as L can look.

"Reunion? I haven't met either of you once before. I was under the impression that you had broken into my hotel room under the same purpose. What ever purpose that may be."

And it was confirmed. He remembered nothing. I already knew it before, but now it felt like my heart was crumbling to pieces. I tried to maintain my composure.

"And you aren't...Going to call the police on us ?" she asked, incredulity written on her face. "I'm insane." she mumbled, running her bloody digits through her hair, only then making me realize her mask was gone. Her skin was very pale. Then she suddenly looked back up at him, with a sparkle in her green eyes. "Then that means your single! I'm impressed, you aren't that bad looking." She grinned.

Oh god. She's right. I glanced at L nervously. He's always been single though, right? So...it's not like she's a threat or anythi-

And suddenly my mind flashes and I have a headache. I wince, then close my eyes. I hold my head lightly, but I'm hearing voices. It's incoherent, I can't understand anything.

I could fall for you, you know.

As you wish.

Protect. Protect.

You failed! YOU FAILED!

I shake my head violently, trying to focus on reality. I blink as the dark room comes back into view, but my head is still pounding.

"I'm not going to call the police at the moment. I thought I'd see what you have to say first." L mumbled in his low voice. He walked past me to look out the window, and I got a smell of his scent. Still sweet. " It's always easier to get information directly. Which brings us to the subject of your presence." He turned around, silently chewing on his thumb. "Do you have anything to say or are you just going to sit on the floor? I understand it's very comfortable, I quite enjoy it myself." He asked Lolli, who's face flushed a little.

He didn't even glance at me. But it's okay. Just like the old days, when we were working on the Kira case.

" Oh um..I'm kind of.. Handicapped at the moment, but..I would like to join the Kira case. I have knowledge on who Kira is.. He um , killed my mom .. And I've been gathering information on him. And hacking into your computer. Sorry about the viruses .. But they were for a good reason. You need my help. Im a professional hacker , you could use my skill. I don't know about her." She said looking over to me, L glanced over at me but quickly switched his attention back to her. "You must've heard of my fathers death I assume?"

He shrugged. "Depends on who your father is. I don't know who you are so I can't say I do. However, I'd like to know about what you have to say about Kira.I am also a bit curious about this other girl, and what she has to offer. I'd like to suggest that we continue this conversation in the sitting room. It would seem more convenient." I flinch as he calls me 'this other girl'.

You failed.

I shake my head. I wince, and look around, but I can't hear anything. There's some sort of buzzing in my ear's. Lolli's typing on L's computer, and talking about something. I can only hear snippets of her words, and everything starts coming back into the clear when she suddenly jumps up and heads out the door into the living room.

Wow! What do you know! I don't know what I'm saying, sorry.

Thanks for reading! Love to reviewers!
