Light Yagami sat at his desk attempting to study in the noisy environment. His brain wasn't functioning as well as it should. L already suspected him of being Kira, and if that wasn't enough, everything seemed to be tearing apart at home as well. His father always came home exhausted and rarely even looked at Light. He hadn't seen his father this worn out in all his years of policing.
Light sighed, pushing his light brown hair out of his face. He decided ,after two minutes of nothing but yawning, to go grab a soda. He had been 'studying' after all.
He reached for the doorknob but it flung open. A teenager, maybe a little older than him, clad in black leather and chocolate hanging from his mouth, eyed him up and down. Light scowled at the boy's short blonde hair framing his thing face. He then looked past the blonde boy and saw another one rushing up behind him. But this one wore a black and white striped shirt and green goggles hanging loosely from his brow. His red hair was a tangled mess, and he was out of breath. He clasped the other boy on the shoulder, "Mello, I seriously don't think this was the best plan! To run into-" he looked up and saw Light's astonished face mirroring his own. "Ah. So he is here. But still Mel-"
"Ok, who the hell are you guys?" Light said, folding his arms and placing another scowl on his face.
The blonde looked up at the rude interruption, "I'm Mello. And this is Matt. You are coming with us."
Light laughed, "You've got to be kidding me! I have to study-"
"Okay, listen up Yagami. You will come with us, and if you do not wish to comply you are going to be granted a 30 chance that you are Kira against your favor. However, if you are to come with us and do as we say, then you are granted 10 off you being Kira."
"That makes no sense! I'm granted less if I comply!"
"Alright, suit yourself, Kira." Mello said smirking. He took the chocolate bar from his mouth and pointed it at Light, "Oh, and you won't need to worry about studying where you're going."
"Fine! I'll comply. But what do I have to do?"
Mello cocked his head sideways glancing at Matt, "I didn't actually think he would comply. Hm." He placed his hand on his hip, "Here we go. One of our own has been kidnapped. We have reason to believe he is connected to Kira somehow, or has the same powers as Kira. That's what I think at least. But you can never be too careful these days, so what is it? Are you going to help us get her back?"
"Her?" Light's face sprang to life.
Matt growled at Light, "Don't. Even. Think about it."
Light took a step back faking a smile. "Okay. I won't. But when-"
"Now." Mello replied. He took Light's hand and ran out the door leaving Matt panting to catch up.
Amber's eyes fluttered open as she tried to assess where the heck she was. She fidgeted with the binds holding her, but she realized it was futile. Sighing, she laid against the wall, and took a look at her surroundings. She was in a warehouse, she wasn't sure which one, but it had rows and rows of cardboard boxes stacked one on top of the other.
"You're finally up, little one."
Her eyes diverted to the general direction of the sound. She saw the shape of a man coming towards her. His eyes glowed red. She winced against the wall, trying to somehow drill through the concrete into another room or another place. "Who are you?" she squeaked, feeling less sure about herself than she had ever felt.
The man chuckled, "Why, I am your worst nightmare."
She gasped and struggled to break free of the ropes, "Kira." she muttered, her voice higher than she had intended.
The man stopped, his eyes looked squinted in anger, but she wasn't sure. Suddenly he burst out in a scream, and she knew she was right. "I am not Kira! He is a weakling! He doesn't realize how important L's successor is, than L himself. I mean sure L can be a bit of a challenge too, but the successor is the one that will take over after he dies." he was breathing heavily.
Amber fainted, knowing this would be the last time she would see sunlight.
Light ran through the warehouse doors, hoping to catch a glimpse of a body. Sighing in frustration, he faced Mello, "Is she really here? I mean-"
"You doubt me now?! Her life is at stake from something you started! You better hope to God she's still alive."
"What?! You still don't believe I'm not Kira? I thought-"
" In conversational terms, yes you are deducted 10. But in my terms, you're still 100 Kira. I only brought you here to see what a mess you have started, and how it's going to end if she dies because of your carelessness."
Light gulped, "And what exactly will happen?"
Mello glanced at Matt, the nodded and said in unison, "Death."
Light shook his head and ran off down a row of boxes to search for the missing girl.
About 10 minutes later, Mello and Matt saw Light's hand signals, he had found her. Mello pushed Light down and stared at the scene before him. A man was holding a knife over the sleeping Amber. He could feel Matt's muscles tensing as he scanned the scene.
Light, laying bewildered on the ground crawled forward and looked at the girl, Amber ,she was apparently called, and gasped. He had seen her the night before. His father had been talking to her before he had gotten there. And he remembered the strange vibe he got from her. This must have been what it was. She was connected to L. Therefore, she was a threat. But he couldn't let her die, not yet. He had to condone to these two freaks wishes in order to live at this point. He glanced up at Mello's face. He was pale as a ghost, his eyes seemed to widen by the minute. And Matt stood there, fists clenching. Light sighed and poked both their knees. The boys jumped with a start, but looked down and realized it was just Light, the dork.
"What?" Mello asked in a hushed whisper, not once taking his eyes off Amber.
"We have to make a move, now. Otherwise she could end up dead."
"You mean, YOU have to make a move. He's your henchman after all."
"Now don't go blaming-"
Matt silenced Light with a slap. "Shut up. Both of you. Do you want Amber to die? If not, Light is right. We ALL need to make a move. By himself, he can't take down that full grown man. He needs help, like Mafia help. Whaddya say Mello, like old times?"
Mello nodded and smirked, "Let's kick some wannabe Kira's ass."
