Hey everyone. Sorry it's late everyone... again... I could give the excuse that it was late because of Regents Exams, or that my summer is busy, or that I'm working on my health, but I won't give you any of that crap. Instead I'm just gonna say sorry and that it took two months. Anyway I recently got a review from one of my fans of this story and she and all of you inspired me to hurry up and tyoe up a new Shortie. So here it is.

Shortie: Finally! I've been waiting forever and I'm the protoganist!

Me: How dare you speak to your mother that way!

Shortie: You're not my mama!

Me: Technically I am. I created you and your mother. Since I created your mother who created you with L then that makes me both your mothers. ;)

Shortie: No... that makes you grandma. Yay I have a grandma now!

Me:... I hate it when she's right. T.T

Chapter 10 - The Mysterious Watch

It was the middle of the night and Shortie was on her bed with her mothers laptop. Her mama allowed her to use until she fell asleep. Shortie was practicing some of the lessons that she learned with Matt. Since she was away from the Wammy house and said hacker, He couldn't help her with her, well, hacking skills of course. So she decided to try and perfect the skills he had already taught her, so that when she returned to Wammy's he could just go on and teach her new things she needed to learn.

Shortie was currently trying to hack into the headquarter's security cameras. She was already okay at it, but she figured that hacking into the her daddy's headquaters cameras would be a little more of a challenge than that of the Wammy house. It had been already an hour and she was having some slight troubles with it and was already wishing that her red-headed mentor was here to help her with them.

Finally after what seemed like and eternity she was finally able to get access to them. "Ahah! Finally it seemed like it was going to take forever for me to get through, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The system isn't that far away from Wammy's. Though I guess that's 'cause grandpa was the one to set up the cameras."

Shortie looked at the different windows that were displayed onto the computer screen. She saw that the main room where her daddy would conduct the investigation was currently empty. This meant that everyone was asleep in their assigned rooms. She saw the window that displayed the sleeping Matsuda and decided to click onto it.

When she did she a most disturbing sight. At first it seemed innocent. Matsuda was in his PJs asleep, but then he started to toss and turn. Then began shouting things in his sleep.

"No! Lil Kim don't eat my sandwich!" He shouted.

Shortie stared at the screen confused.

"R-Kelly don't pee on me!"

"Huh?" Shortie said.

"Let me be in your circus Britney! No I don't know where Amy is!"

"What? Matsu-chan what kind of dream are you having!"

"Candyland is freakin' awesome! No-wait! Don't split my ass in two! Ryuuzaki I don't want you to be my gingerbread man! ...Well if the second time is nice..."

Shortie, mouth agape, shocked at all the things she just heard, decided it best to click away from Matsuda's window. "Note to self: Never click watch Matsu-chan sleep again." Shortie muttered to herself. "Oh look mama is in daddy's room. I wonder what's going on. It looks like their talking about something important."

Then Shortie clicked onto the window that showed her parents.

"Ryuuzaki I want to apologize for everything I'm putting you through. It is more than childish of me to do so and I'm sorry. It's just I've been going through alot lately and when Misa informed me that you said that to her it only brought forth horrible memories and a harsh reality."

"What are you getting at Chanel?"

"Isabelle came back."

Who's Isabelle? Shortie thought.

"What? Why are you telling me this now, and not sooner."

"It was just a little before Shortie came to see you. I had recieved a letter from her, and at first I didn't think much of it, but then..." Chanel's voice faded.

"Then what? What did the letter contain?"

"She said she wanted to see me, and that was all. I kept the letter just in case of anything, however after that she kept sending even more letters. Each one more disturbing than the last. She would write things such as "Your daughter is beautiful. I wish to see her...", "She's too beautiful to be your daughter she should be mine...", "You took him from me and now you're living in luxury while I waist away in the streets. I want him and I want her. Give them to me...", "If you don't give them to me willingly I'll have to take them by force...", "I hate you and want you dead...". Things of that manner. The last statement was from her last letter.

I was so stressed from all the harrasment that I was unable to keep a close watch as to what Shortie was doing. When she left and I couldn't find her I immediatley thought that Isabell had done something to her."

How did I not know something was wrong with mama?

"Why didn't you inform me about this?"

"You were busy with Kira. I didn't want to distract you."

"Either way I should've been informed... maybe we should speak of this later." Then his eyes directed Chanel to the sleeping Light.

"Don't worry about him. He shouldn't wake up for anything. I drugged his coffee with sleeping pills my very own. He won't be disturbed in the slightest. A bowling ball could fall on his leg and he won't wake up. Unfortuantly I have yet to perfect the drug so since it has such a high dosage, when he awakes he will be have a terrible headache that won't subside for at least 12 hours. Basically he's going to have a terrible hangover."

Ryuuzaki couldn't help, but smirk at this. Chanel caught this act and commented. "You certainly love to pick on the boy don't you?"

"Chanel I'm hurt that you think I would be so sadistic as to enjoy Light's pain in such a way."

Come on just say what else is happening.

"Sure whatever. Anyway one of the three reasons why I didn't pick up Shortie was because of Isabell. I was afraid that she would get her hands on her. I didn't inform you because I believed that I could handle the situation alone. So when Roger found out I told him not to tell you for those reasons. She started coming to the orphanage. She left a dead body of some type of animal with a note saying that if I didn't surrender my family that I would end up like the animal dead and in pieces. Anyway although she had done all those things I was able to apprehend her and she was sent to the insane asylum."

"Good that's where she belongs, but I have the feeling you are withholding something from me."

"Then you'd be correct. She wasn't just sent to any asylum it was Beyond's Asylum. although he is away under lock and key I didn't think it smart to have both former Wammy house residents in the same Asylum, also considering both of which are holding a grudge on one or even both of us, but I was unable to change that fact. So when Amane told me you said that to her. It only brought back those memories and reality. After all those were the lines you used to get Isabelle to not only have intercourse with you, but fall head over heals in love with you."

"I see, but even so that both are in the same Asylum I could change that now and you will no longer have to worry. Or is there more."

"Right again babe. I wouldn't have told you all this if there wasn't a catch right?"

Ryuuzaki listened intently.

"Beyond's out."

Who's Beyond? Is he an enemy of daddy?

Ryuuzaki stood silent.

"He got out a few hours ago. I was informed and decided to pass on the information. You see he was showing signs of sanity over the amount of time he was in there and well they deemed him fully sane and let him out. I don't think they know the trouble that might unfold because of their mistake."

"I want you to handle this situation as soon as possible. Find some reason to throw him back in there and keep him locked away or at least monitor him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."

"Alright. I'm going to return home tommorow. I am going to tell Shortie. I still think it best that she stay here with you." Chanel got up from her seat that was facing Ryuuzaki. "Oh and babe." Ryuuzaki was pulled from his thoughts and stared at her.

Just great just when I get the whole family in one spot mama has to leave for urgent business.

"Yes?"

"What you said also reminded me that are marriage might be going down the toilet. That's another reason why I was so upset."

"Our marriage is fine Chanel, it's probably better than most others. Although we fight. Somehow we always manage to make up, and we do the later very well if I might add."

Chanel smiled at him. Then she walked over and bent over kissing him gently on the lips. Then in one swift motion Ryuuzaki pulled her into his lap and both were in a very compromising position.

"Uh... Ryuuzaki what are you doing?"

"What you think? After all we haven't been with each other in almost a year and then you're leaving tommorow."

"But the Yagami Kid is in the room."

"You said he wouldn't wake if a bowling ball fell on him. Well then I'm sure he won't wake up if we have a bit of fun." Ryuuzaki then started kissing his wife's neck as she continued to blush an even deeper shade of red.

Suddenly Watari's face appeared on the screen of Shortie's laptop. Shotie'e faceforze in shock, eyes wide and mouth gape.

"Lily I would appreciate it if you did not hack the security system."

"Uh... okay grandpa..."

Then Watari's face disappeared and the laptop went black. "Well I better get some rest. I have school tomorrow." Shortie mummbled then putthe laptop on the nightstand, lied down on the bed, and soon found sleep.

The next morning Shortie's mama was helping her dress, and both females had a serious look drawn on their face. Chanel after making sure Shortie was adjusted and wrinkle free, sat down and looked Shortie in the face.

"Listen sweetie when you back from school today I won't be here. I have to go back home for some business. The next time you'll probably see me is when you and your father return from the Kira case. "

"Okay mama."

Chanel smiled and headed for the door. "I'll still be able to take you to school. So let's go."

"Wait mam I want to tell daddy good moring before we leave."

"Okay sweetie. I'll meet you by the lobby."

Then Shortie ran out of the room and to her daddy's room. She knew where he slept since she was able to find the location of his room last night on her laptop. She ran up the stairs and to his room. When she reached the room she found that the door was slightly open so she just stepped in. When she did she saw Light glare at her father, rub his temple, and then step into the bathroom.

She walked over to father and tugged on his pants leg. He looked down at her observing her. "Yes?"

"Good morning daddy."

"Good morning Shortie. Did your mother tell you."

"Yeah." Shortie said with a said look on her face.

"Don't worry you'll see her again when we go home after the Kira case."

"Yeah I know, but I'm sad because it felt like a family when we were all together."

Ryuuzaki ruffled Shortie's hair, messing it up. She smiled at her daddy when he did this. "Have a nice day at school Shortie."

"'Kay. Good luck with the investigation."

Shortie was about to leave the room when something caught her eye. She looked at the nightstand and lying onto was Light's Rolex. She walked over to it and picked it up. Ryuuzaki didn't notice because he was to distracted with a, well for lack of a better word, bitching Light.

Shortie liked how it felt and how it looked so she put it in her pocket and ran out of the room. I'm sure Onii-chan wouldn't be too upset if I borrowed his watch for a little bit. Then she headed for the car that was parked outside the building.

Later on at school in art class Shortie was playing in watch. She wanted to take it apart and see if she could put it back together. Then two girls came over to her.

"I know you ate the cookie!"

"I didn't!"

"But your name is Iatethecookie so obviously you ate the cookie."

"That's just a coincidence!"

Shortie looked up at the two girls. THey were iatethecookie and FlameSpear.

"Hey what's up?" shortie said to them.

"iatethecookie won't admit that she ate the cookie, but her name is well you know, so it had to be her."

"I didn't! Stop it already!"

"If she says she didn't eat the cookie she didn't eat it." Shortie said.

"Thanks Shortie."

"Anything for one of my friends. So what's going on besides cookies."

"Oh uh... Hagime is kinda in love with someone else. It's Samantha. Sorry." iatethecookie said.

"It's okay. I didn't really like him anyway. I was going to tell him later that I'm still in love with Near. So it doesn't really matter."

"Who's near?" FlameSpear asked.

"Oh you don't know him, but he's the best. I hope to be his girlfriend when I'm older!"

"Oh." iatethecookie and FlameSpear said in unison.

"Anyway I'll talk to you later okay. I'm kinda busy right now."

"Okay."

Then Shortie decided to pull the knob on the side she pulled it once, twice, and then three times, but nothing happened. She sighed frustrated.

"OPEN YOU STUPID WATCH!" She said pulling it four times really fast. Then the watch obeyed her and the bottome slid open.

"Thank you watch." Shortie said with a smile. She then noticed the contented instide the small underlying disk of the watch. There was a pin and a small ripped piece of lined paper.

"What's this doing in Onii-chan's watch?"
