Recap: Then looked up at the mirror, I blinked at the reflection, Wow! I look so different! I stared at my reflection for a second, before moving forward to add the finishing touches.

A few moments later I stood back and checked myself again, I was nearly gaping at my reflection, I looked wa_ay different than I usually did, Well, of course I do! I'm wearing a dress for pity's sake! And makeup even!! Not my usual black sweat pants and a plain black t-shirt, so of course I look different…but I'm not sure if I really like the change or not……I wonder…what L will think…?

I blushed at the thought and turned away from my reflection, wondering why I even cared, It's not like I ever cared what anyone else thought of my appearance anyway…but something about L just made me a bit self-conscious, at least while I was in a dress. I bit my lip, my hand was on the door handle, but I couldn't seem to open it just yet, Geh…Damnit! It's not like he's any different just because I'm wearing a dress. Not even after our interlude earlier…I blushed and turned fully away from the door, back to the mirror, causing me to stare for another few seconds.

Finally I took a deep breath and gathered my courage and indifference and headed out the door, L was sitting on my bed, I figured he was waiting for me. I watched him carefully as he looked over at me, his thumb dropped from him mouth, his eyes widened a little bit more and his mouth parted almost imperceptibly, I might not have noticed anything but his hand if I hadn't been watching carefully. I gave a small shy smile as I moved a little bit closer to the bed, L blinked a few times before slowly returning it.

"So…what do you think?" I bit the inside of my lip, so as not to smear the light amount of lip gloss I was wearing. L's eyes ran over me again, I trembled slightly, mostly from the way he was scanning my outfit and overall appearance, but I managed to keep myself in check. Finally L looked back up and caught my eyes.

"You look very beautiful." the simple words and L's attitude made me blush again, I glanced down again, knowing that L probably wouldn't just say that to make me feel better. I smoothed my dress almost nervously, it was a black, mid calf length, silky spaghetti strap dress with a sheer netted fabric covering that sparkled with glitter. The dress sheathed my body beautifully showing off my rarely seen curves, I had a pair of matching black silk gloves the went just past my elbow and my shoes were black high heels that wrapped around the ankle. I also had a matching black wrap that covered my shoulders beautifully complemented by a thin silver chain with a small strawberry on it, a gift from Suki for my first acceptance into To-Oh.

I looked back up at him, a small blush still on my face, he got up from the bed and came toward me slowly, as if in a trance…or maybe it just seemed that way to me because I was nervous, embarrassed and caught up in my own thoughts. He stopped in front of me and slowly, with a very small blush that I happened to miss, wrapped his arms around me, I blushed a little bit harder, then he leaned down and kissed me. The instant his lips touched mine I felt all my worries melt away, at least for a few moments. It was very gentle and simple, nothing but lips pressed against lips, but it was very sweet, literally and figuratively, I found that I liked simple kisses a lot, but mostly because even simple kisses seemed to be a lot for L at any given time.

(L's point of view)

I waited almost anxiously on Sana's bed, where I'd previously made love to her, more than once even… I thought back to what I had been thinking, and why I had allowed myself to be so impulsive, I knew Sana definitely deserved such things and much more, but that I would not always be able to give them to her, especially because of the danger involved in the cases I solved. I needed to find a way to defeat Kira quickly, then when, and if, I survived the encounter I would need to figure out a way to keep Sana with me without putting her in too much danger, once that was all figured out, all I needed to do was convince Sana to stay with me…but after today I didn't think she would object too much.

I was chewing on my thumbnail, still thinking things through when the bathroom door opened, I glanced over to look at her, I felt my hand drop, my eyes widen and my throat went dry so suddenly, she looked…there's no word for it…pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, none of these words are enough! She smiled shyly and there was a very light blush on her cheeks that only added to the allure, I was so dumbfounded that it took me a minute to respond in any form. When I had gathered my wits enough I returned the smile.

"So…what do you think?" I nearly groaned at the innocent question, I let my eyes wander over her attire again, almost undressing her with my mind, I could see her shiver slightly and resisted the urge to smirk. My eyes wandered slowly back up to hers and my gaze alone seemed to pin her in place, or at least it seemed that way from how she was staring back at me.

There were many thoughts of what I should or could say, but the only thing that came out was, "You look very beautiful." I cursed myself silently, Is that really the best I can do? I could have said something much more befitting- My thoughts wandered off when Sana blushed a little harder and she looked down at her outfit almost self-consciously, and tried to smooth out imaginary wrinkles. The words had been simple and not quite that flattering, but Sana's reaction made it seem as if I had just told her the most beautiful things in the world. It was just like her dress, it was just a simple black dress, that on another woman would not have affected me the way it did on Sana, on Sana the dress made her seem like the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

The thoughts running through my mind made me want to kiss her, it was so compelling that I stood and walked over to her, she was blushing even more and her gaze seemed unfocused. I felt a small blush on my own face as I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a simple, gentle kiss, she all but melted into my arms, forcing me to hold her up, I didn't mind and was even glad to have such an effect on her.

Suddenly I could hear a vibration coming from somewhere near Sana's desk, she pulled away quickly and ran over to the desk where she had placed her bag last night, she pulled out her personal cell phone and answered it, "Hello? …Ah, Suki, yeah I know. I just finished getting ready and I'll be there in a little bit."

Seconds later she shut her phone, I watched her for a few more seconds before collecting myself and snapping out of the strange mood I'd been in since last night, "We should probably get going, I'll have Watari get the car ready." Sana nodded and gave me a smile that caused my heart to skip a beat, then speed up slightly as she turned to her bag and then closet. I snapped out of it again and turned to the door and hurriedly went to find Watari.

(Suki's point of view)

Oh my gawd, oh my gawd!!! What am I going to do? None of this is good enough to make him like me…what am I going to do? What am I going to do?!! I looked around frantically, I had been trying to decide what I wanted to wear ever since Sana called and told me that Mello was going to be there, …Gah!! Why the hell am I getting so worked up anyway? I mean I've ever only met him once! And he was trying to kidnap me for pity's sake!! …But he was soo cute!!

I blushed at the memory of the temperamental blonde with the piercing blue-green eyes, he was just so captivating to me. Both in looks and in temperament. I giggled to myself as I once again looked down at the big pile of outfits I was trying to decide between, at the sight of the still huge pile I slumped forward, I have nothing that is guaranteed to get his attention…what am I going to do? I sighed almost dejectedly.

Just when I was about to start rifling through the clothes again I heard my phone ring, I turned and quickly picked it up, expecting it to be Sana calling me, but it wasn't, it was one of my friends, probably calling about the party…I don't even know how it's going to turn out…mom and aunt Karin won't let me go into the main room, until the party starts…as usual, gawd, if anyone gets more excited about me and Sana's birthday it's mom and aunt Karin…thinking of aunt Karin…I wonder how she will react to seeing Nate… I felt a strange depressing feeling wash over me at the thought, I knew that aunt Karin would most likely cry, it wasn't hard to do when the mood was right and Nate would be just the thing to make aunt Karin cry in the whole birthday party atmosphere.

I sighed again, then remember my phone in my hand, I put it up to my ear, it was one of my friends, a new one, from To-Oh, she started talking and I replied, only half listening to her. I paid more attention to my whirling thoughts, Mello, Melodramatic, what am I going to do? I wonder what kind of outfit will catch his attention the most…I wonder if he would notice me if I had chocolate of some kind! I know…I'll get him to teach me how he magically pulls out that chocolate bar, by bribing him with chocolate! I frowned, gah, why does he have to like chocolate? Why can't he like something sour like War Heads!!

(Mello's point of view)

I sighed heavily, Damnit! Where the hell is that bitch anyway?! She said she was coming to pick up the albino runt! Don't tell me she backed out. I chomped heavily on a chocolate bar, I was running out, I would need to get more soon, the reminder annoyed me even more.

"Damnit! Where the hell is that bitch! She should've been here by now!" the bastard didn't even glance at me, he just continued to play with his damned robots and shit. I scowled, I wanted to break the damn things, they were the only thing that ever kept his attention and it annoyed the hell outta me, just because I was trying to insult him and he wasn't even listening!!

I was about to walk over and stomp on one of his precious toys when a knock came at the door, I whipped around quickly, Finally! I'll force her to tell me where Matt went! She better not lie to me either, stupid little piece of shi- "What the hell?! Don't just come barging in here without-"

"Shhhh!" the red-head came in, she put her finger against her mouth in a gesture to be silent, What the hell is she doing?!! "Who the hell do you think you are-"

"I told you to be quiet!" she stepped forward and grabbed me by the ear, I thrashed around almost instantly, How dare this bitch touch me!! I'll kill her!! "Look, I came in by myself to warn you." I stopped thrashing at this, but pulled away roughly when I felt her loosen her hold a little bit, I was very tempted to hit her or something. Somehow or other I would get my revenge, for everything, for her taking MY Matt and trying to steal MY idol and now for even daring to touch me. But this warning she was talking about did intrigue me a little bit, "I'm guessing that you went to Wammy's with L…right?"

I recoiled in surprise, L couldn't have told her that much…could he have?! But…no that impossible, L would never trust this bitch with such precious information! "What are you-"

"Nevermind that now…I just came in by myself to warn you that L is coming to the birthday party, he is already on his way there, I have my mom's car so you can ride if you want to, but I'll understand if you don't want to…" she trailed off, I had stopped listening after hearing about L, L's going to be at the bitch's fucking birthday party?! No fucking way! Why would he go to her birthday party unless…no, I can't let myself think like that!

"Yeah right! Why the hell would L go to some fucking birthday party when he is trying to solve a case? Especially if it was your birthday party?!"

(Sana's point of view)

What the hell is this kid's problem?! "Look if you don't want to go all you have to do is say so." I turned to Nate, he was twirling a lock of hair around his finger staring up at me, I smiled at him, "Nate…are you ready to go?"

"I suppose so." I blinked, I wonder if he's nervous…or maybe he's just annoyed with Mello…I can sympathize with him though I suppose. I nodded once, smiling happily at him, he only stared blankly at me, I was again reminded a lot of L and wondered why Nate was so…apathetic. I shrugged it off though, if he ever wanted to talk about it all he had to do was come to me.

"Okay, come on then, the car's outside." I smiled again and turned, about to start going out the door when Nate spoke again.

"Would you mind carrying me?" I blinked and looked back at Nate, my eyes were wide as my mind registered what he just asked, Did he…did Nate really just ask…if I could…carry him down to the car?! I blinked slowly, Nate stood there staring at me, completely calm, as though he didn't just ask something so…embarrassing and such. I bit my lip, unsure of what exactly I should say, I was about to ask if he was serious when Mello spoke up loudly.

"You stupid albino freak, you two are the same height and probably the same weight, you really think she has enough strength to carry you?! Hurry up, we need to get there, no need to make L wait forever!" Mello grabbed Nate's white sleeve and pulled him out the door quickly, I blinked in surprise than followed them out slowly, shutting the door behind me, I hurried into the elevator and we headed down to the car at the front entrance.

(Assassin's point of view)

It would have to be soon, very soon, I knew that, and yet something in me didn't really want to kill her now that I knew Siolfor was Sana, I mean I had looked up to Sana for quite some time, and now I had to kill her...after all a job was a job and it needed to be done, and this, killing Sana, was my job right now. I frowned and hugged my bunny rabbit tighter to me and buried my face into it as the cab followed after the car as it drove off.

A/N: Alrighty, I would like to know if you know who the assassin is! Yes they have been in the story, it was a while back ago though, one of the characters with a mention and only very very slight interaction, if that helps ;3 If you think you do, review or message me and tell me your guess, if you guess right, um...the first person to guess right can choose how something else in either this story goes down, and others can request a story of your own =3 Exciting isn't it? Well then, I'll be eagerly awaiting your guesses cx See ya soon!
