Day 12

It's roughly 4am and I had to sneak back into the apartment.... Yesterday, I had to make damn sure Pink wasn't in danger...

When I went back to visit her apartment, I decided to bring some gifts for her and her roomates; T.K. got a PC game (The Sims 3), Cassie got some make-up and I got Pink a copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl (It was actually an extra copy I had that Mel didn't smash). Cassie greeted me as she started to storm out.

"Where's the fire?" I asked her as she pointed inside. "T.K. invited that Yagami guy over here again! I can't stand him! I'm going to the Akihabara for a few hours, Pink. See ya," she said and she left, taking her make-up from my hands. I felt a chill run down my spine. There, standing behind T.K., was Light Yagami. I had to restrain myself from grabbing the small handgun I started carrying on me. Here was Kira, a mere 5 feet from me... I could have ended the case then and there if I wanted to, but seeing Pink come out, dressed in a lacy pink dress with her hair braided made me stop. She 'eeped' when she saw Light and bowed to him before hugging me. She broke me out of my stupor when she kissed my cheek.

"Matty, have you met Yagami-san?" she asked. I wanted to just blurted out 'He's the guy who killed my mentor...' but I controlled myself and shook my head. When she caught Light's attention, he looked at me and introduced himself. The guy was a pretty boy with brown hair and dark brown eyes... he looked like a poster boy for Abercrombie & Fitch. I remember Pink saying something that I'm the poster boy for Hot Topic.

"Oh. I'm Yagami Light. Nice to meet you." I nodded and quickly said 'I'm Matt.' Pink looked at Light to me and blinked. I couldn't relax. I just wanted to kill the bastard before he did something to Pink or her friends. Then my phone began to ring. It was the tone I used for secured lines; a simple melody I had heard one of the teachers playing back at Wammy's. I excused myself and went to the kitchen to answer it.

'I wouldn't do anything stupid if I were you.' I couldn't believe who it was... Near.

"How did you...?"

'Easy. Cameras in the apartment. And don't worry, there are none in the bathroom.'

"So when he called you..."

'Yes. We'll keep an eye on her for you. So don't worry.'

"Thanks. I owe you one."

'No you don't. Mello owes me. Until next time.' After he hung up, I felt a weight being lifted from my shoulders. She would be safe. When I walked back to the living room, Light was gone. Even though I wanted to curse, I didn't. Pink smiled and hugged me again, saying he had been called by his mom. I nodded and also noticed that T.K. was gone as well.

"T.K. is gone to the Akihabara as well... so it's just you and me." I blushed when I realized what that look in her eye meant. I kissed her again and smiled.

(Since there's a chance of Mello reading this after I write it, I'm going to skip what happened after the kiss.)

Frickin' hell... Mel caught me. I forgot he's a night owl since Misa was too. I would have sworn he has asleep. Wow, no yelling. No hits... he just told me to get some sleep and not stay up so late.

Signing off,

Matt
