I was out of town last weekend, so I didn't have time to update this one.

Chapter 12-Insanity

"Have you ever wondered why those two don't get along?" Amaya asked L, who was eating a slice of chocolate cake.

"It's their methods, Near solves unemotionally, Mello uses his emotions. Because they use different methods, there's only a thirty percent chance that we can get them to agree on the same plan." L answered.

"What if we thought of a plan that used both methods?"

"I highly doubt that's possible." She sighed. She and L both did not want those two fighting again. She was glad that they had seperated. Mello had mentioned something about going out to get something to eat while Near had chosen to stay and play with his toys. She shifted her gaze towards Near, who was playing with his Legos. She still couldn't figure out why an eighteen year old boy would be interested in Legos. She decided that it was probably the same reason why L was obssessed with sweets. She turned her gaze back to L. An idea then came to her mind.

"L, I think I have an idea on how to get Near and Mello get along better."

"And that is?"

"Well, Near said he never takes breaks."

"What are you thinking?"

"You'll see." She then turned her head towards Near. "Near!" Near shifted his eyes from the Legos to her. "If you could go anywhere Japan, where would you go?" Near simply gave her a blank stare. L couldn't believe what he was hearing. Obviously, Amaya was trying to get Near to loosen up a little, not be so obssessed with his work, but taking him to some random location in Japan of his choice?

"I don't have time to visit places that are already over-crowded with tourists." He replied. Amaya look disappointed, L was somewhat relieved, because he knew that if they went out in the open, Light might see them.

"There has to be somewhere you want to go. And if it's far away, L and can just fly you there."

"I hate flying." L wiped off a sweat drop, he also hated flying, it wore him out too quickly and carrying Near? He was not going to do that.

"Anything else I should know that you hate?"

"Outside, so I refuse to go anywhere unless it's necessary, now will you please leave me alone?" ear was getting very annoyed by her. Amaya stared at him for a moment and then came up with an idea. Quietly, she stood up, walked over to where Near was sitting, snatched up one of his Legos and started running towards the door. "Give that back to me, it's an important piece!" Near yelled as got up and ran after her.

"Great..." L muttered as he stood up and started fast-walking after them, he could already tell where this was going.

Amaya ran down the hallway and then out a door that led in an alley. Near stopped for a moment to catch his breath, he was never much of a runner. He had seen her go outside. He hated going outside, he burned easily and the sun always hurt his eyes. Unwillingly, he went out the door. L soon saw the open door and ran out to find Amaya in her Enzeru form, flying above Near and holding the Lego piece just out of his reach. Near was standing up with his arms outstretched as he tried to grab it from her.

"Rin, give it back to him."

"Fine." She lowered down. Near snatched it from her hand and started looking at it to see if there were any scratches on it. Suddenly, Amaya flew down behind, grabbed Near and then shot up into the sky with Near. L let out an angry sigh and shot up after them. He rose high enough to the point where all he could see were cloud behind him. He looked and saw Amaya holding a very mad Near.

"I demand that you put me down right now!" He yelled.

"If you say so." She then let go of him. Near screamed as he fell. Amaya then flew down and grabbed him just before the concrete buildings came into view. Near was shaking and breathing hard. "Wasn't that fun?"

"You call that fun?! I almost ended up being a bloody mess of shit on the ground!" An enraged Near yelled.

"Actually, I find it exhilarating." Near simply glared at her. "You don't have much of a life, do you?"

"I have a life!"

"You spend way too much time focusing on your work, you need to live a little, you know, learn to relax."

"Are you telling me that the whole point of making me fall and almost hit the ground was to get to relax?! You are the most insane woman on this planet!"

"Actaully, I'm an angel."

"I don't care, just put me back on the ground!"

"I suggest you do as he says Rin." They turned to see L few feet away from them.

"Fine." She muttered. They flew back down to the alley. Amaya placed Near on the ground, then landed and returned to her human form. L landed next to her and tucked his wings in.

"Near, what do you say you and I have a talk while eating some cake?" L asked.

"As long as I am kept away from her, yes."

"That can be arranged." He then looked at her. "Amaya, you don't mind if we have a private talk, do you?"

"No, go ahead."

"Good. He and Near then walked inside, Amaya followed, but went the opposite direction down the hallway since she did not want to bother them, especially Near since he looked like he was about to strangle her.
