Annime: Hello!

Tonia: Took you long enough!

Annime: I'm sorry! (Hides)

Chapter 10

"Hey," Tonia said as she looked into the ally way. Zeta turned to look at the new comer and Delfina slipped her 'surprise' back into her book-bag.

"Oh, hey, Tonia," Zeta said with both relief and happiness. "Delfina was just about to show me something." Zeta turned back to look at Delfina.

"What is it?" Tonia asked with curiosity. Delfina tried to hide her scowl, but Antonietta could still see it in the dark.

"Nothing important," Delfina answered. "I have to go. See you guys later." The girl slipped past the other two and stalked off. Tonia and Zeta both blinked after her.

"Huh," Zeta muttered. "She was really excited about it…but oh well! She was driving me nuts anyway!" Zeta put a hand on Tonia's shoulder. "So, how's the SPECIAL project going for ya?"

"It's going good…" the taller mumbled as she stared after Delfina. Zeta blinked at her friend and waved a hand in front of her face until she gained her attention. Tonia looked at her with a blank face. "What?"

"Are you ok?" Zeta questioned.

"Yeah, I'm fine…do you know what Delfina was trying to show you?"

"No, actually; you came right before she had the chance to reveal it. I wonder why she just ran off like that though."

"Yeah," Tonia whispered with suspicion and confusion. Zeta looked at her friends again in question before shrugging it off.

"Come on, let's go home," the shorter took the other's hand and began to lead her away from the alley way. Tonia let her friend take her hand as she began to think about what to do.

It was clear to Tonia that Delfina was willing to show whatever it was she has to Zeta. It was also clear that she obviously didn't want Tonia to see what she had. Was it because Delfina somehow knew she was handling the Kira case? No, that couldn't be it…what if it was just something stupid, like drugs. No, it couldn't be that either. Her expression was too alert, which isn't a very usual for her. But if those aren't the reasons then...

"So, how's your case REALLY coming?" Zeta asked again. Tonia looked at her.

"It's very interesting."

"Did you figure anything out yet?"

"Not really, no."

"Well then…"

"How's it coming with Delfina?"

"OH MY GOSH!" the girl cried. "I'M GOING TO FILE A RESTRAINING ORDER ON HER THE NEXT CHANCE I GET!" Tonia laughed and the two talked as they made their way home.

"So," Let said as Tonia combed her hair in front of the mirror. "Are you worried at all?"

"Worried about what?" Tonia questioned.

"You remember- Delfina was obviously up to something."

Tonia dropped her hand and comb onto her lap. "I know…it's unsettling."

"She's not to be trusted."

"I think she's kira."

"How do you know THAT from just this?"

"Five reasons come to mind. One, she went to the school where all of this started. Second, she is a spoiled brat who will do anything to get what she wants. Third, L, the GREATEST detective in the WORLD, said she was a suspect. Fourth, what else would she obviously not want me to see AND freak out about? Fifth, you, the monster who doesn't care about what's going on, just said she's not to be trusted. OH- and let's not forget the fact that you would be able to see the Shinigami that is with her."

Let stared at Tonia for a minute before scowling.

"You think you're SO smart, don't you?"

"Yes, why yes I do."

Let rolled her eyes as Tonia went back to combing her hair.

Zeta lay on her bed and stared up at the ceiling of her bedroom. She huffed for no reason and kept her mind blank. This was how she relaxed after a long day.

The 19 year-old jumped when she heard a knock on her bedroom door. Zeta turned to it hesitantly and blinked in confusion when she saw Delfina outside her window. She walked over to it and opened it.

"Ok, what do you want?" Zeta muttered with pure annoyance. "It's almost 11 at night. Seriously, why are you climbing ladders?"

"I thought you would want to see what I was trying to show you earlier before that goody-goody showed up." Delfina's voice had the sound of fake innocence, and Zeta had the urge to barf.

"When you put it that way, no," Zeta spoke as she was about to close her window. Delfina stopped her by grabbing her arm and pulling herself into the room. Zeta yelped and then growled at the other girl. "Seriously, GET OUT!"

"Not until I show you!" Delfina argued. "Now be quiet!" Zeta groaned with pure annoyance once again and decided to punch the girl later.

"What is it?" Zeta grumbled. Delfina smiled and pulled out a black note book. Zeta blinked at it before looking at Delfina. "It's…a note book."

"Not just ANY note book," Delfina corrected. "It's a DEATH NOTE!"

"A…death note...Wait…isn't that the thing that killed L!"

"Yep; it is!"

"Why do you have that?" demanded Zeta. "Get rid of it NOW before someone gets hurt!"

"Umm…it's a little too late for that."

"What do you mean?"

"Here, try it out!"

"I don't WANT to!"

"Come on! You can finally get rid of her!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Tonia!" yelled Delfina with exasperation. (Zeta was suddenly unhappy about the fact that her room was sound proof.) "You can finally pull her out of your spot light."

"She deserves that case!" Zeta pointed out.

"And so did you."

"And what makes you think she didn't deserve it more?"

"What makes you think she did?"

"It WAS given to her!"

Delfina sighed and stared at Zeta for a minute. "Fine- I'll give you 24 hours to think it over." The girl walked over to the window and opened it. "Oh, but if you tell ANYONE about this, I'll take care of both you AND Tonia. I don't like her. I never did and I never will. So, if you don't want me to get rid of her, keep your trap shut!" With this Delfina left the other girl alone and in fear.
