If DeathNote didn't happen…
Matt Mello L and Near Air space not far from Japan 12:40am –
L sat on the fold out chair, reading a huge leather bond book, in the corner of the plane, Near playing with his robots at his feet. The hospital bed screwed to the floor contained the sleeping Mello, and Matt sat in a chair next to it, playing silently on his DS. Mello moaned and Matt instinctively paused his game and stood, he grabbed Mello's right hand, not wanting to hurt his left side, "What's up?" Matt asked, "I had a sudden thought" Mello replied looking down to his bottom half that was dressed in pristine white hospital pants. "What?" Matt asked, encasing his hand in both of his. "You know that tattoo?" Mello asked. L looked up,
"What tattoo?" he asked standing, Matt turned to him,
"Never you mind" L then frowned and sat back down. He then turned back to Mello, "Yes?" he asked, looking down to his caring blondie.
"It'll be gone" Mello replied. Matt bit his bottom lip, he put the palm of his left hand, flat on Mello's right cheek, "That doesn't matter, as long as your not gone" he smiled, Mello smiled weakly, "Love you Matty" he grinned,
"Love you too, now, go back to sleep, I'll be here when you wake up, I swear" Matt smiled back. Mello nodded and his eyes closed…
Light and Matsuda Japan 01:00pm–
Light sat at his desk, the house of cards sat delicately in front of him, Yes the NPA's always busy he thought. There was a knock at the door, he looked up, "Yes?" he asked, preparing to knock down the structure if necessary. "It's Matsuda" the voice on the other side replied. Light slumped in his chair, "Okay, come in" he said, ever so slightly happy he didn't have to destroy the only thing he'd done in an hour and a half. The door opened and closed. Matsuda sat opposite him, "Oh neat house of cards chief" he smiled. Light looked up. "Oh I get it, your tired. Well, I was coming in here to ask you a none work related question" Matsuda said lowering his tone. Light sat up and stared at Matsuda quizzically, "Go on"…
Misa Japan 09:00am-
Misa stared at the picture on her phone and sighed happily. "Light Yagami" she whispered. "What?" Her PA asked looking at her. She snapped her phone shut and sat up, "Nothing" she said staring at him hard. He then sighed,
"Fine, Misa, listen, I need to know the name of that guy you went on the date with" he said plainly, "Why?" Misa complained as the car stopped at a red light.
"In case he's not who he says he is, now, the name?" he asked. Misa sighed again and looked out of the tinted windows. "Misa!" he asked again.
"Fine! Yagami, Light Yagami" she replied,
"Thank you" the PA said typing quickly on his laptop. After not to long he spoke. "Well, it looks like you got lucky this time" he said closing the laptop,
"What d'you mean?" Misa asked,
"He came top of every class he's ever been in, finished University with over perfect results, and now has a very well paying job at the NPA, where he is now a higher rank than his father, who also works there" he said folding his arms. He hated being wrong. He expected Misa to shout I told you so! But when he turned he saw that she was wide eyed with shock, "Wow, he's better than I thought"…
