Chapter 5.

Authors Note: Oh, sorry guys! I just realised now that I had accidently posted the same chapter twice. I don't plan on making that mistake again, so all the chapters from now on will be all good. I you're reading this, please review as well! I've had so many people read this story, and even a couple favourting it, but still no reviews?!

Vesta was bouncing up and down with excitement, even though she wasn't the one who was going to be put into a new existence again.

"I'm so happy you chose this! I think you're going to love it."

Lawliet, however, was not feeling the mood.

"Yeah, it's going to be weird being a kid again. A 13-year-old genius orphan boarding at a selective school."

"It's fine, people might think it's a bit weird, but what do they have to suspect you of. And anyway, you'll look like the original L, but no-one knew what he looked like, so you're safe."

"Yeah, I guess," Lawliet mumbled. "It's going to take a little while to get used to everyone calling me Lawliet again. He looked up to the ceiling.

And looked down.

And had a small panic attack.

He was small again, and his surroundings had changed on him again. He was wearing his usual sloppy white shirt and blue pants, but they were short sleeved or shorts. The looked up. He was in a park, and it was quite hot, probably Summer.

"Boo." He looked across to see Vesta wearing clothes similar to him. Her hair flowed around her shoulders.

"Don't looked so surprised. A moment ago you said you were fine with being 13 again."

"Yeah but," Lawliet cut himself off and paused for a bit.

"My voice hasn't cracked yet." He stood there, slightly startled.

Vesta started to grin, then laugh, doubling over.

"Hey, it's not funny," Lawliet said, doing his sideways upwards stare.

"I'm sorry. It's just you're reaction, priceless. And 5 minutes ago, your voice was so sly and seductive, and now, anyway, so, this is you again."

"Yeah, I guess, is this Sydney?"

"Yes, oh gosh, come on!" Vesta bounced up and down with excitement.

"What? What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath.

"I have to show you everything! Wait, you have no belongings, we're going to have to buy you clothes and that what not before you start school on Monday! We don't have any time, let's go!" Vesta grabbed his arm and started pulling Lawliet along. He struggles at first to get a hand of running in his new, self.

"Ok, slow down! I don't even know where we are going!" He said, breaking free of her grip.

"Ok, you are now Lawliet Ryuzaki who boards at Thames Academy in Sydney. We have to go buy you stuff, at Chatswood Chase, otherwise people will think something is going on. Now, if we don't run, we are going to miss out bus.

The pair just made the bus in time. They sat opposite facing each other. Vesta pulled a phone out of her pocket and clicked on a few apps.

"Is that a phone? Where did you get that from?"

"I partially live here as well. Anyway, here is a map of Sydney. You don't need to know it that well, sine you are a transfer student form England, but it will help."

When they arrived at the shopping centre, Vesta asked L what he was going to need.

"I don't know, a change of clothes, possibly a phone, and a computer."

"Are you kidding? First of all, you need shoes. At least a pair of sneakers, and a pair of thongs." Vesta replied.

Lawliet face twisted in confusion.

"Thongs? I think that would be rather unnecessary."

"No, not those thongs, dummy! They're like sandals, yeah, rubber sandals.

5 long hours later, Lawliet was equipped with everything he would need to fit in.

"I never used this much in Wammy's house." He said.

"Well one, you're living in a new country, and two, I'm just trying to help you fit in. You'll need this stuff, believe me, especially the thongs. Just try going to the beach with normal shoes is hell I tell you."

"Ok, but I don't think I'll be doing much swimming anyway."

The 2 caught a bus from the outside from the centre.

"Since you don't have a place to stay, and you're an underage minor here, you can't book a hotel room by yourself, you're just going to have to go to your dorm." Vesta said.

"But my roommates I assume will not be there?"

"Probably not. We should get there, about half an hour, not too bad. Anyway, tell me a bit about yourself when you were 13." She replied.

"Ok. I had started tennis, I don't remember when, and some kind of martial arts. I think I started losing sleep around then, or it might have been later. And there was this new kid, I don't remember his name, who suggested the alias L, was is L, yes L." Lawliet bit his nail in concentration.

"I don't really remember much more than that, does it have something to do with you." Lawliet said.

"As a matter of fact, I think it does. You lose parts of memories, or the ones that would interfere with you new life." Vesta said.

Lawliet turned around and look at the other passengers sitting on the bus.

"Aren't you concerned that anyone will overhear us? I mean, most of them are wearing headphones," he whispered.

"Even if they do hear us, they won't think its suspicious, and even if they do, what do they really know?" Vesta whispered back.

They spoke for a while before Vesta grabbed a couple of bags and pressed the red stop button. The bus stopped in front of a large school ground, with a couple of large buildings right in the centre of it.

They walked off together, and while Vesta chatted on about something, L thought silently to himself.

What are the other kids going to be like? It's selective, sure, but am I still going to be above them? Are people going to like me, or are they going to think that I'm, special.

They reached the front of the school, and Vesta passed all the bags to Lawliet.

"There's the reception, just up there. I can't go in, since I'm not a student." She said.

"Oh, ok then, I guess it's goodbye until I die again." Lawliet replied grimly.

"What, no. You'll be sing much more of me before you kick the bucket again."

"Oh, so it's not really a goodb-"

Vesta pushed him forward.

"Go on, what do you have to lose?" Lawliet kept on walking forward, then turned around.

"Precisely nothing!" He said with a big grin on his face. Before he was nervous, now, he was grateful.

The reception lady told him the way to get to his room, and began off.

Left, right, straight past three corridors. I wonder what my roommate will be like. There should be a sign, chess club, yes, there it is. Another right. They can't be that bad, and they have to be fairly intelligent to get into a school like this one. Continue down this hall until you see a room 14. Don't go into that one, that's the girl's 14 dormitories, turn left until you reach the boys.

A there it is.

Lawliet took a deep breath and pushed open the door. It didn't open.

Oh, look, there's a sign saying pull, I didn't even notice it.

This time he pulled the door open.

There was another boy standing inside, but before he could make out anything other details, someone threw a pillow at his face.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't meant for you, I swear." The other boy came rushing over. He was a bit taller than Lawliet, but he had blond hair and green eyes which complemented his more childlike features.

"I'm Remy, and I guess you're the new boarder here? Sorry I haven't been told your name, or I forgot," Remy stuck his hand out for a handshake.

For the first time in about 15 years, he said it, his true name to another.

"Lawliet Ryuzaki. Nice to meet you, well apart from the pillow of course, that was a bit of a shock."

"Sorry about that, it was meant for someone else. Come in, meet the other guys."
