The same day, LUNCHTIME! 12:00 P.M., Los Angeles, America

She stared at the food in disgust. It was burnt and gooey. How they hand managed to cook the food into a substance like that, she didn't know. She wasn't good at cooking, but at least her food was presentable. Was she supposed to actually force this sad excuse for food down her mouth? And you'd think that they'd spend some more money on her food if they actually wanted her to live. With this lunch, it looked like they wanted her to starve to death.

Jack stared at her, and if you could read his mind right then, you would see some very disturbing thoughts. He slowly walked towards her, but Sayu didn't notice, because she was too busy being nauseated by her food.

"Little girlie." Jack said, in English, meaning to scare her by saying something that she probably didn't understand. But, Sayu could understand what he had said. She wasn't as smart as Light, the person everyone was always comparing her to, but she wasn't dumb enough not to know some simple English.

"Get away from me!" Sayu screamed, as Jack pulled down his zipper. She saw that he had went commando, and his dick had fuzzy hairs on it. Sayu cringed at the sight, and scooted as far away from him as she could, hitting the wall and kicking. She was still tied up at the ankles and at the wrists. But, the mafia member wasn't giving up anytime soon. His raping streak-for now- was 79 women, and he wasn't letting that streak go without a fight to the death.

"Aww, little girlie, scared?" Jack sneered, and walked even closer to the trembling petite Japanese girl.

The same day, same time, Mafia hideout surveillance room

Mello, Matt, and Rod Ross were in the Mafia hideout surveillance room, making sure nothing out of line happened, like always. And since they had a hostage, they had to make sure that she didn't kill or hurt herself.

"Hey Mello, you might want' a take a look at this." Matt mentioned to a monitor and continued playing on his gameboy.

Mello walked across the room. When he sat down on the chair, something repulsive caught his eye.

The Jack on the screen pulled down his zipper, and Mello knew that the real Jack was doing this too.

"What the fuck is that bastard doing?" Mello growled as he pounded the table, and chucked his chocolate bar at the screen that was showing the hostage's room. The chocolate landed on the screen with a disturbing squelching noise, and chocolate seeped into the screen, destroying it and sending sparks flying across the room.

Rod Ross chuckled. "Looks like he's trying to get some out of the girl."

Mello glared at his boss and stormed off, heading towards the room that held the hostage-and for now-Jack, the mafia's top pedophile.

Rod looked flustered. "Did I say something?"

Same day, same time, Hostage's room

Sayu trembled in fear. Why were the bad things she was thinking about always coming true? I mean really, she was going to get raped, and the fairies she always were dreaming about after eating too much weren't even real? Jack crept slowly even closer to her. Now, there was no where for Sayu to go, cause she was already in the corner, wishing that she could go through the wall, anywhere, hell, even to Mello, if it meant being able to escape the 60-year-old-rapist.

Suddenly, the metal door was thrown open, just right after Sayu was thinking about him. She thought it was another mafia member to help Jack, but Mello was here, to save her.

"Jack, what the fuck?" That was the first thing to come out of Mello's mouth. Typical of him. Throw fuck in the first sentence.

The one trembling in fear now was Jack instead of Sayu. And if you really wanted to know, which you really don't, it was because Mello was pointing his gun at Jack's cock.

"I just wanted to have some fun, Mello. Loosen up sometimes."

"Eww, fun? You just scarred me for life!" Sayu said, covering up her eyes.

Ugh. Mello's head spun around in circles. He could either stand up for his fellow mafia member, or stand up for the hostage. Taking the hostage's side would be unnormal, but hey, Mello is unlike any other.

"FUN? IS THIS THE FUCKING SHIT THAT YOU THINK IS FUN?" Mello screamed with rage and chocolate flew out of his mouth. Again.

"Hell yeah Mello, you should try it sometime. But of course, you don't like to hurt girls, maybe cause you look like one? Oh, and, watch where you step, there's a big chunk of wet brown sugary gooey stuff right there." He pointed at where Mello had spit the chocolate.

Argh. So they had figured out his one weakness after all, girls. But they were definitely not his weakness because he looked like one. The mafia men were not as stupid as they acted, but they still were pretty stupid. And they sure could act smarter.

"Rot in hell, you sonofabitch." Mello motioned for Jack to leave the room by waving his gun, and to put his pants back on. (haha, you thought I was going to make Mello kill him, right? XD)

-x – x – x – x – x –

Same day, same place, a little while later, after Jack got his pants back on. (lol)

When Jack finally left the room, stealing another glance at Sayu, Mello sniffed the air.

"…What the fuck is that smell?"

Sayu just pointed to her food and did nothing else, except for taking deep breaths. She was still trying to over the sight of Jack's…you get it.

"Is that stuff even edible?" Mello clomped over to the food, and dipped a finger in it. Then he put it in his mouth. Nothing happened for a while, but then Mello's face turned an ugly shade of green and he spit the shit out from his mouth. It sailed across the room and landed on the wall, making a huge splatting noise. (Mello just loves spitting stuff out, doesn't he?)

Sayu laughed uncontrollably. "Guess not."

Mello felt a genuine smile tug at his lips. He hadn't been able to make a girl laugh before, ever. But now he had. But then, he remembered to turn back into his cold self.

"Why didn't you do anything to stop him?"

"Stop him?"

"Yeah, like run away or attack."

"I didn't think about that…"

"You don't understand. You had a chance right there to punch him in the balls."

"I really didn't think of that because I was so scared."

Mello shook his head. "As I said before, you don't understand. You still had a chance. Unlike me. I had to join the mafia. In your life, you had many chances. Why didn't you take them and try to be like your perfect brother light?"

"Actually, I think you're the one who doesn't understand, Mello." Sayu spit out, looking ready to kill.

"Me? Not understanding you? It's simple. You could've been like Light-" But then he was cut off by a mad Sayu.

"What do you mean, 'you had a chance'? I've never had a chance in my life to be even remotely like Light! My parents have always compared me to Light throughout the years, and whenever they get my report card back, they frown and complain, and then they ask me why it isn't like Light's! " Sayu yelled, trying to stand but ended up failing.

"And do you know what they say every time when they think I'm not listening? They say that I'm nothing compared to Light. My grades, looks, and even popularity are worse than his! They say that I'm not worthy of being in this family, filled with generations of smartasses! And they tell me, encourage me, to get better grades, because it's not like our family members to get bad grades. But they know. They can kiss my fucking arse, they know they aren't getting any good grades out of me soon." Sayu stopped to take a breath. She was outraged.

Mello was then silent, his cold eyes disappearing. It was like he didn't know what to say, that he didn't know why he wouldn't want to, because he usually had a whole bunch of things to say. If this was a mafia member, he could've shot back a witty comeback. But she was too feminine, the look in her eyes said that she was mad, but to Mello, that look wasn't even anywhere near mad.

"The only reason," Sayu began angrily, "that you are speechless is because you don't know what it feels like to be second best! I'm not like you! I'm not always first, always the best! In fact, I'm hardly even close to best! So now, after all these years of torture and hell my parents and my school put my through just because of my perfect brother light, there comes a person who makes me feel even worse than I did before!" She shouted, tears once again coming to her eyes.

And under her breath, she murmured, "And everyone is always, always comparing me to Light, the perfect, straight-A, good-looking student. And now you are too." She didn't know it, but Mello heard everything that she said.

The room was silent for a long two minutes it seemed, the only sound was Sayu softly sobbing about the whole situation again. The capture, the torture, and this. She felt like she was robbed from a real life, and it had been replaced with this craziness.

Just then something unexpected happened, Mello felt guilty. His insides burned at the sound of her crying, crying because of his words. What an idiot he felt like just then, and he wanted to make it at least a little better.

"Listen," He began, not knowing what to say he improvised, "I kind of know how you feel, and now you know how I feel constantly. I wasn't always first. There's this guy…I used to live in an orphanage for braniacs with Matt. I always strived to be first, but there was him, constantly beating me and getting first place. Matt and I ran away because we knew we wouldn't be first, ever. So now, he's L's successor and I'm here in this dump!"

Mello lowered his voice. "So, you and I are actually very much alike."

Sayu looked up, seeing now not the cold normal Mello but someone who had just spoken comforting words. Words she could connect with, how she felt and know she really wasn't alone for once.

"Yeah, I guess that you're right." She said, a small smile came to her face.

"That is the one time you'll probably ever admit it." Mello said laughing a bit. Now that the fight was over, he guessed that Sayu was hungry. Well, that was an huge understatement.

"And sorry for me yelling at you. You just kind of reminded me of how I was before, and you kind of made me angry because I was trying to keep that part of me sealed away forever."

Sayu wondered, "What were you like before?"

"Well, you know the part about the orphanage. My parents died in a fire, and I was the only survivor. A nice man who founded the orphanage named Watari took Matt and I to the orphanage. At the orphanage, you were taught that you had to get first, or else you were a failure. And then, I ended up here."

"I'm sorry about your parents."

Mello turned mean again. "I don't need your pity, thank you very much."

The was a silence for a while, and then Mello spoke up.

"Here, since that stuff is barely even equal to eating dog shit, take some of my chocolate." Mello walked over to Sayu and broke off a piece of his oh-so-beloved chocolate bar. He squat down and held it in front of her face, not sure what to do next. Usually, he would cram it in, be she was a freaking girl, no, woman, for god's sake. She'd be horrified if he acted like that towards her. Then they would be back to square 1 with their already messed-up relationship.

Sayu hesitantly took a bite of the chocolate bar, looking at it to see if it was poisoned or drugged. Sure, she trusted him now, but he was a top mafia member. He could do whatever, whenever he wanted as heartless as a demon.

Mello just rolled his eyes. "It's not drugged, I just unwrapped it."

She took it, chewed and swallowed it slowly. It was good. Very, very good. Now, she could understand why he was addicted to it, and it was probably a million- no, infinity times better than the food, because just as she was craving friendship, she got it, from the person most likely to get it from. Mello.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you before, too, Mello."

A/N: Don't you just loooooooooove this chapter? Oh yeah, and if the word scarred (WITH TWO R'S) is spelled scared (WITH ONE R) then just got rid of that extra R, so don't tell me it's a spelling mistake. The MelloXSayu fight is so awesome x3. And there may be some lemon (YAY!) in the next few chapters. I'm updating next week, as usual, so be prepared! PLEASE REVIEW THIS STORY! PUSH THAT CUTE LITTLE BUTTON!

You know you love me,
