A/N - Hello! March break is over, which means I won't get chapters up as quickly. Sorry. I'm almost surprised at how many people are liking this. Thank you all! -Hands out chocolate- A shocking siblingry in this chapter. I know very well that they are not, but it was the easiest way for the plot to work out later! (You'll understand later b. d) (OMG! Sorry Quarter Queen I stole your little thumbs up smiley! -Hides head in shame- couldn't resist my self. Sorry! Don't hate me! I'm over reacting, aren't I?)
A Spare?
Home room was busy that morning. People were already restless, it being a Friday and all. Near looked over and seen a very tired Matt. He titles his head and looked at the red head.
"You look tired this morning." he stated quietly. Matt looked at him with dazed eyes. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of it.
"Oh hi, Near. Sorry. Late night last night."
"I see. Well, I have questions."
"Shoot."
"What?"
"As in go ahead."
"Oh, yes, of course. Why are you so tired?"
"Oh that class I told you about last night. Kinda kept going until 2 in the morning."
Near blinked. "This was a class?"
"Oh yeah! Really fun. I swear it's the best. You should come some time. Since you want to be a game designer, right?"
"Yes. What was it that you were again?"
"A video game tester! I can't wait! It will be so fun!"
"Quiet now please! Class is starting!" The teacher said to the class. Everyone was hyper-active this morning, Near thought to himself, twiddling with his hair. He couldn't wait to get out of class, as he and Matt had a free period next class.

Mello groaned. Misa was being very loud this morning, complaining about everyone else's behaviour. Their teacher looked at her, then at Raito. His eyes seemed to be asking for him to stop his step-sister from being as loud as she was.
"Misa. Misa-chan. Shhhh! Maybe if you stopped, everyone else would too." Raito hushed to the blond. She looked at him in shock.
"Misa is doing something wrong?!" She asked, bewildered. She looked around and saw Mello's eyes upon her. She looked at him as though he had been the one causing her disturbance. "Mello-san. Stop your talking! Misa is taking the blame!"
"What the fuck?" Mello asked, insulted. How could Misa be so naive?! How the hell could his voice be as high pitched as hers?
"Now, now, Mello-san! No swearing in class!" Misa scolded. Mello looked as though he was about ready to attack her. Raito noticed this and put his hand on Misa's arm, making her turn around.
"Maybe Misa-chan should stop bugging someone who could hurt her. You know better then to pick a fight with Keehl." Raito taunted, making sure Mello could hear every word the brunette spoke.
"Maybe we will take this outside after class then, Yagami!" Mello threatened back.
"Enough class. Settle down and face the front. Get to work on your assignments." The professor finally spoke up from the front of the class. Mello huffed and grudgingly diverted his eyes from the other blond. If he were a lesser man, he would have gladly stuck his tongue out at the snobby bitch. But, he knew Raito would not approve of that. He would think of it as a childish act. Mello pouted. Even if Raito was a spare, he could not stand to get on his bad side.

"Meeeeeello! Hiya, buddy!" Matt hollered, jumping onto Mello happily. Mello looked at him in shock, not used to a hug upon meeting his friend. He raised his eyebrow then groaned as he saw Near shuffling along behind his red haired friend.
"Oh. You came along too. Greeat." Mello stated sarcastically. Matt sighed and pulled them both into their dorm room.
"Come on, Mello. He's an awesome kid." Matt whispered to the blond he was hauling into the room. Mello began to mumble incoherent insults. Near looked at him with his big, childish eyes. Mello flopped down onto the couch and grabbed a bar of chocolate from the side table. He began to munch on it as Matt moved his leather-clad legs over to make room for the other two to sit.
"Hey Near, feel like playing some Wii?" Matt asked, turning on the console and grabbing two controllers.
"What about me?!" Mello groaned.
"You can use my controller, if you would like, Mello."
"No. Why would I want to play something as foolish as Mario Galaxy?" Mello shot at the albino. He stuck his nose in the air as Matt half glared at him. A knock at the door made Mello jump. "I'll get it then." He muttered as he noticed no one was moving from the couch.
He opened the door and was faced with a brunette boy a few years older then himself. He raised his eyebrow in surprise at seeing Raito at his door.
"Hi."
"Hello, Yagami. What do you want?"
"I'm here to take up on your offer."
Mello stopped for a second. "What offer?" He asked, confused.
"'Maybe we will take this outside after class then, Yagami.' Sound familiar? Should. You threatened me with that line during class today."
Mello faltered. He had only been showing off to the brunette. He didn't want to actually fight the boy. Mello pushed lightly on Raito's shoulder, muttering, "Shut up for a sec, kay."
He got Raito out far enough to close the door.
"Y-you wouldn't want to take me on, would you? I mean, you're honour roll. Why would you want to take on someone like moi?" Mello asked, tapping his chest as he became French instead of germen. Raito gave an airy laugh.
"No, no. I wouldn't have much of a chance with someone who fights as dirty as you anyway."
"Well, then?"
"Let me finish. You don't like Misa. I wouldn't mind it if she were to get off my back. Hmm. Why don't we do something to get her to be less ... Misa-ish?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Help me make her fall for Matsuda. That lump already has the hots for her. Why don't we just help him along? That way, all three of us win."
A malicious grin spread over Raito's lips. Mello pondered for a second.
"Anything else for my gain?"
"If I must, I will buy you some chocolate."
Mello's eyes went wide. He laughed.
"You got yourself a deal then."
