Well, guys, here's your bonus chapter! I hope you like it~
"Sierra, you idiot," L said flatly.
"I just wanted to meet Matsuda!" she defended.
"You could have taken me along," Anna muttered.
"And now I'm almost hyper…," said Sierra. "Can I go on a walk?"
"I don't know why you're asking me…," L replied.
"Anna, are you coming?" Sierra asked as she pulled on her blue and white (horizontally) striped jacket.
"No," Anna replied. "I'm staying with L."
"Okay," Sierra responded, then walked out the door. She walked giddily down the halls and down the stairs to the lobby, where she headed out the doors to the outside world. "Away!" she cried in delight, and ran, weaving her way through the packs of people roaming the sidewalks. If she doesn't run for too long a time, her energy builds up, and she gets hyper. Her being hyper would be annoying to many of the people she knew, so she ran as much as possible. However, in enjoying herself too much, she ran head-on into a man who wasn't paying attention to where he was going.
Sierra fell backwards onto her butt with an oof. "There's a person there!" she remarked, then looked up. "Sorry, mister. I…." She gasped, then jumped to her feet. "Oh my god, Mihael Khee—I mean Mello—I mean person I probably shouldn't know!" She let out a squeak as his arm wrapped threateningly around her neck.
"What the hell do you know?" he hissed in her ear.
"Um…," was her witty reply.
His free hand – which actually held a chocolate bar – went to his ear. "Matt, I've got something. …No, just a girl who knows too much. …I wasn't asking you! Tch…. Yeah, I'm gonna drop her off for now…."
"Matt!" Sierra cried in delight.
"Shut up," Mello snapped in a low voice, adjusting his arm so he was gripping her shoulder tightly. "Now, follow my lead, and don't do anything stupid. I have a gun, and I won't hesitate to kill you if you run."
"You have a gun?" asked Sierra.
"Yes."
"In your pants?"
He rose what would be his eyebrow, his mouth open, about to bite his chocolate bar. "What the hell? That's none of your business."
"Anyway, sure, I'll do whatever," she grinned. She sure was happy she finally got some action.
"Good." He led her silently and swiftly down the sidewalk. I can't put a blindfold on her…. Not in public like this, anyway. I'll have to make do….
"What was that?" asked Sierra.
"What was what?"
"What was that?"
"I can't tell what you're talking about if you don't tell me what 'that' is!"
"Okay. Never mind, then!"
Mello scowled. "Just be quiet."
"Will do, Mello!"
Mello winced. He led her through multiple alleyways. He kept changing direction, until Sierra wasn't quite sure where she was. Uh…, she thought. Where am I?
"Here," he said, opening an old door to what looked to be an abandoned building.
"Hm?" said Matt, looking up from his video game. "Oh, hey." He looked around, at the trash-littered floor. "Probably should have cleaned up a little, huh…? So who's that?"
"I'm Yui Yamashita! And you're Mail, I mean Matt, and that's Mello!" Sierra grinned.
"What the hell…?" asked Matt.
"See what I mean?" asked Mello, stepping into the hideout.
"And—and I know you guys, and Near and L and Matsuda and—"
"She talks a lot," Matt commented.
"Yeah," Mello agreed. "I'll be back later," he said, directing it at Matt.
"Wha-?" asked Matt, getting to his feet. "You're leaving her here? What do I do with her?"
"Just make sure she doesn't leave," Mello replied, grabbing the door handle. "Maybe squeeze some information out of her, but other than that, keep an eye on the screens, okay?"
"But—"
Mello closed the door.
Matt and Sierra just stood there, looking at one another in awkward silence. Sierra broke it. "Can I pet your hair?" she asked.
He stared at her.
The awkward silence continued.
"Do you work for L?" asked Mello.
"Nope!" Sierra grinned.
Matt was playing video games in the background as Mello and Sierra sat across from one another in opposing chairs.
"Near?"
"Nope!"
"Are you a spy?"
"Nope!"
He frowned. He wasn't getting anywhere.
Sierra smiled back innocently.
"Wait… you sound like…. Were you the girl that was in the group that stormed one of my hideouts?"
"No…. That was probably my aunt!"
"Your… aunt…?"
"Yup! Her name's Natsumi. She works in the Kira investigation team."
"Did she tell you about me?"
"Nope!"
Mello scowled and took out his gun threateningly.
"You do have it in your pants!"
Matt laughed.
"Shut up! Look, how the hell do you know who we are?"
"I know everything!" she proclaimed happily.
"Everything, huh?" asked Matt.
"Yup! Like—like you were raised at Wammy's House in Winchester, England! The first L was raised there, too, and so was Near, and BB! And A went there too, but he committed suicide…. And Linda went there! And I know about the Death Note and all its rules – even the fake ones – and I know all about how you got that scar, Mello."
Matt and Mello glanced at one another.
"I know about—"
"Okay," said Mello, "we get it. How do you know all that?"
"I'm from another world!"
Both Matt and Mello stared at her skeptically (though you couldn't really tell with Matt because of his goggles).
"No, I'm serious!" Sierra insisted. "I mean, I still come from Earth, but in a different reality where Kira doesn't exist and L doesn't exist and Wammy's House doesn't exist, and all of this is an anime and a manga called Death Note!"
They continued staring at her.
"I can prove it! I know more than you think, you know."
"Well, you certainly know a lot…," commented Matt.
"Fine…," said Mello. "Let's say, for a second, you're not lying."
"Okay."
"Why would you tell us you know everything?"
"Uh… I dunno. 'Cause you guys are awesome."
"Do you know who Kira is, then?" asked Matt.
"Yep! But I'm probably not supposed to tell you that…."
"I don't think you were supposed to tell us any of what you just told us," Matt pointed out.
"Well, that's true…."
How do we know to trust her? If she's telling the truth, then she can be useful. But still, if she's telling us all this, she must not be too bright….
"Hey!" Sierra protested. "Meanie!"
"What?" Matt asked blankly. "I didn't even say anything yet."
"Neither did I," Mello agreed. "Are you schizophrenic, too?"
Sierra gasped, then squealed in delight. "Yay!"
"What, did he guess right?" asked Matt. "Or maybe she's got a speaker on her…."
"You didn't check for speakers?" asked Mello irately.
"No."
"Why not?"
"It slipped my mind."
"Right…." Mello heaved an irritated sigh.
"I got Mello!" Sierra cheered. "I got Mello!"
"I guess she's got you…," Matt commented confusedly.
"No," Mello frowned. "I got you. You're being held here, remember?"
"No, no, I know how to prove I'm from another world!" Sierra squeaked.
"And how's that?" asked Matt curiously.
"I—I've got Mello!" she repeated.
"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" asked Mello.
"I can read your thoughts!" Sierra exclaimed. "I can hear them! You're the one I'm partnered with here!"
"'Partnered with?'" Mello repeated.
"So you're psychic?" asked Matt.
"No, not psychic. Okay…. Mello, think something random, and I'll try to hear it. That'll prove I'm abnormal, okay?"
"Aren't we all abnormal?" asked Matt.
Mello scowled and snapped off a piece of his chocolate with his teeth. Something beyond her knowledge. But she knows a lot in the first place, what wouldn't she know?
"Well, I don't know everything, remember," Sierra pointed out.
Mello stared at her.
"I thought you said you did know everything," Matt commented.
"Don't be a smartass," Mello muttered. Can she actually hear it?
"Yeah!" Sierra grinned.
"Aw, come on," Matt complained in mock offense. "Whose side are you on?"
Mello's eyes narrowed. Prove you can hear this specifically, then: I have no home; not even Wammy's is considered my home anymore. I live—
"—my own way," Sierra finished. "You said that before. 'I live my own way.'"
"Yeah, that sounds like something Mello would say…," commented Matt. "Are you having a thought exchange or something? 'Cause I have no idea what you're talking about."
"To prove I heard you," said Sierra, looking directly at Mello, "you said that you have no home. Not even Wammy's is home anymore."
"I'm impressed," said Matt. "So… what am I impressed about?"
"I think she just heard my thoughts," Mello replied.
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"That's cool," he said. "Can you hear mine, then?"
"No, just Mello's," Sierra replied. "I can only hear one person's thoughts in this entire world."
"Well, that's stupid."
"Yeah, it'd be much more fun if I could read everyone's."
"Why, though?" asked Mello. "Why only one person?"
"I don't know," Sierra replied. "It's just the way things work for us. Each one of us is tied with one person, and we don't know who it is until we meet them. And once we meet them, we can hear their thoughts. Then, as time passes, the ties advance and become more complicated…."
"Wait," said Mello. "You said 'us.'"
"There's more of you?" asked Matt.
"Just three others," Sierra replied, then counted us off on her fingers. "My little sister, my aunt, and my aunt's best friend. Then… me. That's it. That I know of."
"Where are they?" asked Mello.
"I dunno," Sierra replied. "I'm not with them, remember?"
"Meaning do you live with them; are they nearby; are you in touch?" Mello clarified with his eyes narrowed in irritation.
"I live with my aunt and little sister; they're all in this country somewhere; and yeah, all three of them have my cell phone number in case." They can't know L is alive, she told herself.
"What do they do for a living?"
"Um, me and my sister don't do much; we just lie at home…. My aunt is on the Japanese Kira investigation team, and then my aunt's best friend works for… the SPK…."
"They're everywhere," Matt remarked. "But if you are from a different world, how'd you get here?"
"We're still working on that, actually…," Sierra replied. "And we need to find how to get back…."
"Two of the four of you are working in groups against Kira," Mello said, pointing at Sierra with his chocolate. "You said you know who Kira is. You said you know nearly everything."
"Yep," Sierra replied. "We even know the future. …Up to the point Kira's caught."
"Exactly," said Mello. "It doesn't make sense. Why would you work to catch Kira when you already know how things work out?"
"Because we don't like the way things work out," Sierra explained seriously.
"I knew it," said Matt. "Mello's going to die. I knew you'd go too far."
"Um… no… that's not what I was implying…."
"If anyone dies, it'd be you," Mello snapped. "You're too cocky for your own good, you know that?"
It's ironic that they're both right…, Sierra thought.
"I was kidding," Matt said.
"So was I."
"Well, Mello, it's good to know you have a good friend at your side," commented Sierra.
"Where's your cell phone?" Mello asked abruptly.
"What? Um, Matt took it away."
"Matt," said Mello, getting up, "get that cell out so she can answer it. If her friends care about her, they'll be calling eventually."
"You'll let me talk to them?" Sierra asked.
"On speaker, so we can hear it."
"Okay then…."
Yay! Mello's now in the story officially, and Matt has made his appearance! :D Plus, it's finally Yui/Sierra's turn to be in the spotlight! I'm so happy~
Fun Fact: Sierra and Natalie/I really do sound a lot alike. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between our voices, which is why Mello almost mistook Natalie's/my voice for Sierra's.
Review? For Matt!~
