AN: Ookay.... Umm. No yaoi then... Fluff between MattXMello and past fluff with LXRaito... And the real romance, I'm ruining it(WOO!) is between Zeke and Ri... And don't worry, no romance yet. Buut, you will notice it when it happens! Promise!
On with the show!
" As I said. We need your help to defeat Raito's coven." L started.
"How many and who are they?" Mello asked.
"4. Kyomi Takada, Teru Mikami, Misa Amane, and their leader, Raito Yagami. Unless you count his neutral sister, Sayu. In which case, 5."
"I see... Continue."
"Well, you see, they actually proclaimed a war against us. Perhaps expecting us not to know anyone else who would help us."
"And judging by your nature, L, I can see why." B stated.
L glared at him and continued, "As you can see, I do infact know someone else. Judging by Sayu's nature, I know she will not fight. No matter what. But there is a rumor that they picked up a stray puppy by the name of Touta Matsuda. The human seems to be their ace in the game. We, of course, don't have a human to help us with Matsuda."
"What about me?" Zeke asked. L looked at him.
"But are you not the child's body guard?" L asked him.
"I am. But I am willing to help you. If Mello fights, then I fight." Zeke stated.
L nodded, "Very well. You are welcome, then, to fight along side us, human."
"Zeke."
L nodded and once again coninued, "Well, we have someone to fend off Matsuda. But even with Mello and Zeke, we are short 1 person, at the very least, to make it even. But that matters not. For now, I am content if Mello and Zeke help. But aside from that, the war was proclaimed a few months ago. The way Yagami is, he allowed us the privilege to try and recruit some form of help. Since then, I have been searching for you, Mello. And I managed to stumble upon your... trace by pure chance." L informed Mello.
Mello nodded, "Anything else we need to know?"
L thought for a second, "Not that I can think of..."
"Alright. I do this for you, and you do something for me." Mello told L.
"And what would Mello want?" L asked.
"Help. With killing Nate." Mello stated.
L nodded, "It is a deal then. We will come for you and Zeke when we need to head out to Japan."
"J-Japan? So far away?" Matt asked. Matt didn't know if he could actually handle Mello being so far away.
"Yes. Is there a problem with that?" B asked.
"W-well, what are Drew and I to do?" Matt asked.
"Ah, yes. Mello's sidekick and...child." L murmered, having forgotten about the re`d head and the young vampire for a second, "I do not know. Matt and Drew can do what they want. They may even accompany us if they so wish to do something."
"L... I can't and won't help if I have to leave Matt and Drew. So, make room for them. Whether they fight or not is their choice, but they are coming with me." Mello stated, giving L a scathing look, "And don't call Matt my sidekick. He's my best friend, not some insignificant turd who will end up dieing at my wish!"
L nodded once more, "Of course, my apologies."

"Yagami-sama, how much longer till we can kill those wretched fools?" Mikami asked a bored Raito.
"Mikami-kun, patience. They still have 2 weeks to get help." Raito replied with a smirk.
"If they can get any!" Misa laughed, Takada soon joining her.
"Yes, I suppose." Raito chuckled, "Matsuda!"
"Y-yes, Yagami-sama?" Matsuda asked, eager to please his master.
"Call Sayu in, please."
"O-of course." Matsuda left to go find the girl.
A few minutes later Sayu came in.
"You called, Raito-chan?" Sayu asked, a grin gracing her features.
"Yes. Tell me, Sayu-chan, what do you see going on with L?" Raito asked his younger sister. Sayu closed her eyes for a bit, then opened them and grinned wider.
"Heh heh, Raito-chan will looovvvee what happened!" Sayu sang out.
"Well? What is it?" Raito asked impatiently.
"Heh heh heh, L-kun and B-kun found a blonde and redhead to help out! Even a male human! Awesome news! Right, nii-san?!" Sayu proclaimed.
"Yes. It is great news. Maybe now he has a chance at winning." Raito chuckled, actually happy that his ex-lover found some others to help him out. For a second, while deep in thought, memories of soft caresses and gentle kisses invaded his thoughts. He quickly discarded them.
"Yes...yes... really great news..." Raito whispered to himself.

"M-Mello. Are you sure about this? What if you die?" Matt asked me, fear evident in his voice.
I smiled gently at him, "Yes, I am. But, in the scenerio where I do, infact, die I would like if you and Drew carried out my mission to destroy Near."
"Yes. Of course, Mello." Matt nodded, still seeming fearful for me. I looked behind me as Drew came up and hugged me.
"I'm fighting with you, Mello!" he stated. I chuckled, and so did Matt.
"Dearest Drew, I am sure L would appreciate your services, but I am afraid I can not allow it. What if you were to die?" I stated.
"I don't care!" Drew cried.
I knelt down and hugged him, "I said no, Drew. I am sorry. But you are just too young."
"It's not my fault! I can help, I swear!" Drew had tears in his eyes.
I looked behind me at Matt, who simply nodded.
"Alright. But you have to learn to protect yourself. And you have to stay hidden until you see one of us badly injured and unable to fight. Understood?" I gave in, and I hated myself for it. Drew nodded eagerly.
AN: There ya go! Review now please!
