The Start of What's to Come

Moon sat and stared out the window into the humid Los Angeles night. The room she was in had one bed, a table, closet and a chair. It was a small room but it was all B could afford.

Moon leaned her head on the window and closed her eyes.

~1 week earlier~

Moon scrambled up the gate that surrounded Wammy's as B helped her up. Sweat built up on her forehead and her heart pounded. She landed on her feet on the other side. She looked back at the gate just as B dropped to the ground next to her. He grabbed her hand and they ran through the forest.

Moon tried to steady her breathing as the trees blurred past her. They were really doing it. Running away. What B had in store for them Moon didn't know. All she knew was that she was with him. Where she belonged.

After what seemed like a lifetime of running they made it to a road. They stopped and Moon ran a hand through her hair and took deep breaths. B looked at her in concern and squeezed her hand.

"It's gonna be ok. You'll see."

~Present~

Moons eyes snapped open and she straightened in her seat. She hoped it would be ok. But ever since they got this room above a storehouse B has been acting strange. He was always gone and all he told Moon was that he had to plan for the future. She wasn't sure what he meant but she trusted him.

Moon stood up and started pacing. She felt as if the walls of the small room were going to crush her. But B told her to stay inside. She took a deep breath and laid on the bed. What could B be up to? When he left he took a syringe and some string with him. Moon didn't think much of it since B was odd anyway but he's been gone for an hour now.

Moon sat up and ran a hand through her hair just as the door swung open. B walked in with a large grin on his face. Moon crawled off the bed and stood in front of him.

"Where have you been?"

B kissed her cheek and walked over to the window. Moon's gaze followed him as he stared out the window then turned around quickly.

"Come with me and I'll show you."

About 15 minutes later they pulled up in front of a house on Hollywood's Insist Street. They were in a van that B had "acquired" when they got to L.A. Moon stared up at the house as they walked up to the front door. B turned the knob and walked in. Moon stared wideyed at him.

"B! You can't just walk into someones house!"

B rolled is eyes and continued further into the house. Moon sighed and followed, closing the front door behind her. B led her up a set of stairs and into the first bedroom. Moon froze at the doorway and stared in horror at the bed.

There was a body lying on it's back. It was a man in his 30's. There were indentions on his neck as if he'd been strangled with a string of some sort. Moon looked over at B who was sitting in a chair and observing her. His red eyes were gleaming with something Moon couldn't figure out.

"B...this man is..."

B nodded.

"He's dead Moon."

Moon had no feeling in her body. She numbly walked closer to the bed, never taking her eyes off the body.

"You killed him...didn't you?"

B smirked and looked down. His raven hair hid his eyes. He didn't answer her. Moon kept clenching her fists. She sunk to the floor and pulled her knees to her chest.

"So that's it then? This is what you've been planning? What you've been doing all day?"

B nodded.

"You see why I couldn't tell you?"

Moon looked up at him with hard eyes.

"Why? Why did you do this? Did this man do something?"

B chuckled. That chuckle made Moon shiver. She'd never seen this side of him before. So calm. Like he didn't just kill a man.

"He didn't do anything to me if that's what you mean. I killed him because its the way I'll beat him."

"Beat who?"

"L."

Moon blinked in confusion. That's what this is about? L?

"How does killing some random person beat L?"

B stood up and paced slowly around the room.

"It's a challenge to him. He has solved every case ever given to him. So I'm giving him a case unsolvable."

"But why? You don't like L?"

B's expression hardened.

"It's not that I simply don't "like" him. I loathe him."

Moon sighed.

"Ok. Explain everything. No more secrets. We are in this together."

B smiled softly and nodded.

"L is the reason for Wammy's. I'm sure I've told you all of this before."

Moon nodded.

"Ya, that L doesn't want his legacy to die when he does. So he's trying to find a replacement with us. You were very...venomous about it."

"Like I said before, I'm not gonna be his tool. A didn't want to either. A was the first. He was L's predecessor before Near and Mello. He couldn't take the pressure of being L. So he hung himself. He was the closest thing to a friend that I had before you came along."

"Ok. So this unsolvable case? Murder? Hasn't he solved murder cases before?"

B sat next to Moon and held her hand. As he examined her hand with a soft expression, he explained.

"It's more then just murder. You'll see when it all comes together."

"You're gonna kill more?"

B sighed and squeezed her hand.

"You can back out now. If you're not comfortable with it."

Moon looked at him. She felt something about B killing. But was uncomfortable the word for it? Right now she didn't know what to think. She knew one thing though. She didn't want to leave B.

"I'm not backing out. How could you even offer that? I'm with you all the way."

B smiled and touched her cheek.

"I knew you were the one for me."

Moon blushed then looked around the room.

"So what now? We hide the body?"

B stood up and picked up his bag.

"Nope. Just leave it there. But can you help me with something?"

Moon nodded and B handed her two Wara Ningyo dolls and two nails.

"Hang these on that wall and that wall."

B pointed the walls then took out two more dolls and hung them on the two other walls. Moon did the same the looked back over at B.

"What's the point of the dolls?"

"Just something for them to look at. To throw them off and give them clues at the same time."

Moon smiled with him as they left the room. B pulled a string from the crack of the door and Moon heard the click of the lock. B took her hand and they went back to their current residence. Moon crawled into the bed and B wrote down some notes in a journal. Moon watched the way he would occasionally tap his pen on his knee before writing again. He looked up at her and smiled.

"What?"

Moon shrugged and grinned.

"Nothing."

B closed the journal and set in on the table with the pen. He stood up and stalked over to the bed. He jumped onto it and hovered over Moon.

"Nothing huh?"

Moon giggled as B kissed her neck. He crawled under the covers and put his arms around her. Moon laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Thank you for doing this with me. Well for just being with me. I know it must be hard. But I appreciate it."

Moon yawned and nodded.

"Ya. You're everything to me."

B smiled and kissed her head.

"You know I love you right?"

Moon sighed in her sleep. B chuckled softly and closed his eyes.

Well there you go. Ya it's short but it just had to end there. Don't worry the story is gonna really start picking up. I did my best at using correct info from Death Note: Another Note. If I put something that's incorrect then I'm sorry. Oh and about the whole pulling the string to lock the door that BB did, I really don't know how he accomplished it. I read Another Note like 3 times and I always reread that part. I can never follow how he locks the doors from the outside lol
