"That's a nice trick. But I'm not buying it. I think this was set up I think your trying to scare me." He muttered touching the steel, obviously to prove that it was some fake metal that would break away and dissolve in his hands. what he found, was cold, hard steel. It gave him a start.

"H-how did you do that?" He asked a catch in his throat.

"We're not what you make us out to be." She spoke slowly. "So I would stay close. You know nothing of us."

Her light breath was cold on his cheek, a lightly scented with mint, carmel latte, and a hint of metallic...he paused. He knew that smell...it was blood.

"Why do they want to kill me?" He asked.

"Because even though you don't know vampires...you still know too much." She muttered grabbing him by the shirt and walking to the narrow opening leading to another block.

"So. I got it right that you were a vampire. But I got my facts wrong?" He muttered.

"All of them." She muttered.

"All?" He repeated.

"Yes. Why would we let people know how to kill us. Trust me on this one. If you had the slightest idea how to kill us. You'd already be dead." she muttered walking down the street. Picking up a soft pretzle. Extra garlic. With cheddar sauce.

"Okay. I get it. I'm wrong." he said glacing down at her choice of food. "Very...very wrong. Your a very interesting girl."

"No. I'm not." She put simply. "I merely do not wish to see people get killed who do not need to be killed. I am but a privillaged aristocrat attending a private school. Nothing could be more unremarkable."

"Unremarkable?" he repeated. "Umremarkable...your a vampire."

"I am aware."

"That's not remarkable to you?" He asked.

"Your a human aren't you?" she asked calmly.

"I don't see your point." He muttered.

"Your different from me. You asssume vampires are not slightly interested by the daily activies of human as well." she muttered.

"Of course not! You were once human!" He muttered, he glanced at a boy with an odd green mohawk.

"No. I wasn't. nor a lot of my companions...only about two percent of vampires were once human." she muttered.

"SO. " He spoke a little too loudly. "Your a humanoid...not actually human."

"Actually it a widely acepted belife that vampires existed long before humans ever did. You decended from us." she muttered.

"Your primeval creatures?" He asked.

"I dont' know I'm not that old." She muttered. "Older than you though."

"You can only be about...sixteen. Maybe seventeen at maxium. I'm in my twenties." He said confidently, sure of himself.

"heh." Lisa laughed. "You certainly have ALOT to learn."

L followed her closely. Suprised that she could walk that fast, even taking into the equation she wasn't a small petit flower, He had to jog to keep up with her. He studied her movements, she was graceful, and moved purposefully, with no unnessesary movement.

"I know that. Even before the supernatural decided to decend upon my life...I don't know everything...but I'm certainly going to try." He said.

"Fat chance. There are elders with many upon many years on you...and they have just sratched the surface." She muttered, more to herself than to L.

"Well. What are they Eighty or Nintey? I can make it to that...it's only another sixty years or so." He said defiantley.

"The elders are a couple thousand years old...good luck making it there with an average human life span." She said harshly. She felt the blood drain out of her face...a dangerous sign for a vampire in the middle of a human metropolitan.

"Don't get snippy with me...Vampire." He muttered making a sudden turn to his left, down another dank alley way.

Lisa Smelt vampires...roughes.

"Shit." She muttered, chasing him down the alley way. Humans were annoying. Humans thought they were the best. They weren't. They thought they could compete with vampires...when they couldn't. They were arrogant and often childish. But the most annoeying fact about humans...was that six vampires could sneak up on a pureblood and she didn't even see it coming.

"Ryuzaki!" She called down the hallway...he was quick for a human. But if the vampires got to him before she did...no human was fast enough, or strong enough to escape. She caught up to him first. Thankfully. She grabbed him by the ear, and lead him back to were the daylight blazed.

"Listen." She snapped. "You will not disobey me."

"Or what?" He quipped.

"Or you die. You go back into the shadows the rouges will get you. They'll kill you. They won't care if you stand for justice, are ignorant of what they are...and they don't care if your an innocent. They kill with out remourse." She hissed. leading him, by the ear down the street back towards the hotel.

"Hey...Light. Why is that girl leading L down the street like a bad child?" The shinigami asked.

"No idea Ryuk. But she's the one, from Cross Academy." Light muttered, stepping back into the shadow of a building slightly.

"Hm. Cross academy. Never heard of it. But why was she talking about Rouges?" He asked.

"Rouges? Doesn't that mean outlaws?" He muttered. "Why would she know outlaws?"

"Hmm. She's pretty enough to be one of them." Ryuk muttered, hoping light would ask. He bit.

"Pretty enough to be what?" He asked Ryuk.

"A Vampire. They often refur to their undesireables and law breakers as rouges."

"Vampires?" Light asked boredly. "How stupid do you think I am. Vampire's don't exist."

"Suit yourself" Ryuk muttered following Light back into the chaotic streets. Turning back to his house in the suburbs.

Meanwhile, Lisa was paused around the side of the hotel.

"You go in now. In a minute. I'll follow." She muttered pushing L out in the light. She waited for him to get inside, and them followed henceforth.

The doorman greeted her, but she took no mind and went up to her room. Cross was wating there.

"Do you ever leave the room?" She muttered.

"No. He doesn't." Zero muttered.

"Were have you been?" She muttered. She hadn't seen him since last night.

"Um. I was out." He said, going to the mini fridge and pulling out a soda.

"You were with Adrian." she said. "You were killing more rouges last night. How many are there in this town?"

"Too many." Adrian groaned, he has his sleeve rolled up and a gash half healed. "We took down about five last night."

"There's a lot more." She said.

Zero and Adrian looked at her questionably. while Cross left the room, uninterested in vampire polotics.

"I was tailing L...like...well. anyways...he had about six rouges on his ass." she muttered.

"Six? That's a lot of rouges...are you sure?" Adrian asked, his voice was cold.

"Positive...they were repulsed by me." she muttered. "Trust me though...they wanted him BADLY." she muttered.

"Well. I guess we'll have to keep survalliance on him." Zero growled. Lisa groaned...she sensed a new conflict.
