A/N- Hello I'm back! I'm kinda embarrassed to say this, but I forgot I uploaded this story. So that explains why there hasn't been an update. He he… Opps. It won't happen again I promise!
"How the hell did you know my name?" Mello whipped around to look at Matt behind him.
"Did you tell her?" Mello growled at him.
Matt took one step back. I could see why. Mello was getting angrier by the second and it looked like he was going to take out that anger on Matt.
"I didn't tell!" Matt took another step back.
"Hey!" I shouted before Mello could do or say anything else. Mello swung around and glared at me.
I glared back, matching his fierce expression with one of my own.
"Look Mello," I began with anger, but stopped. I felt my temper flare and I took a step back towards the wall behind, in an attempt to control my anger. I could let myself blow up now. I leaned against it and took a quick breath letting it come out in a sigh.
It was pretty easy to get me riled. Patience wasn't an outstanding quality of mine and my quick temper had gotten me into some fights. I never did win those fights. You never really do when you decide to mouth off to the biggest kid on the school ground. If you're lucky you just end up with a face full of dirt.
I started again. "Mello, I already knew both of our names. Before, either of you were here. Matt didn't tell me anything."
Mello was silent. He turned away from both Matt and I. He started to get that far away look in his eyes that I had seen so many times on the anime. But it wasn't complete.
"Wait," I said breaking the silence. Mello's eyes focused as he glanced at me, but I could tell that he was still half- lost in thought.
I pushed myself off the wall and walked towards the small kitchen. I was followed by a single pair of footsteps. I took a quick look over my shoulder and saw Matt following with curiosity written obviously on his face.
I opened of the pantries and stuck my hand in. My hand fumbled until it felt the right texture. Matt stood next to me looking up, trying to see into the pantry and what I had just pulled out.
As I looked at him, I felt that sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity. This was Matt who I had known from countless hours of watching and reading Death Note. But it still felt like it wasn't him. I guess reality hadn't really sunken in yet.
I walked over to where Mello stood. He was still thinking with the far away look.
"Here Mello." I dropped my hand and waved the chocolate bar in front of him.
He snapped out of whatever daze he was in and focused of the chocolate in front of his face. He blinked a few times, then just looked up at me.
"How did you know?" There was no anger in his voice, just a sense of amazement and confusion.
"I told you" I answered. "I know you"
The scowl quickly returned to Mello's face and he glared. He grabbed the chocolate bar out of my hand and mumbled what might have been a thank you. Then again, knowing Mello, it was probably a nasty word.
"Manners, Mello." Scolded Matt.
"Yeah, thanks" Mello bit into the chocolate bar, making the bar crack. I could here the chocolate crack again and again as Mello chewed it to pieces.
I went into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of milk. Gingerly, I took myself to the dining room table and propped myself up on one of the chairs.
"Mello, Matt, why don't you two sit down and we can attempt to figure this mess out?"
Matt nodded and sat on a chair. I noticed that he folded his legs under him, which gave him a small boast making him look a little taller. Mello just plopped down on the chair and preoccupied himself with the chocolate.
I took a sip of my milk. "Oh" I said as I noticed that I didn't offer any to either of them. "Would either of you like some milk or water or something?"
"Could I have some water please?" Matt responded quickly. I rose from my chair and began to head to the kitchen.
"I don't know why you are doing this." Mello's voice stopped me and I froze.
"Why do you give a shit? You don't know anything about us. This is me and Matt's problem, not yours, so why would you even care."
I turned my head to look back at Mello. Mello wasn't facing me, instead his eyes were glued to the chocolate in his hand. His glare was evident even though I couldn't see his face clearly. His small back was tensed and anger hung around him.
"Answer me. Why do you care?" His voice was getting more strained and he seemed like he could explode at any minute.
I took a minute to think before answering. "Mello, I care because you two don't have anyone else who would care for you." With that said I continued walking to the kitchen.
As I got Matt's water, I could faintly hear Matt and Mello whispering to each other, but it wasn't audible enough for me to figure out the words. Every once in a while I would here a single word, but most of it was lost.
I returned to the dining table and both of them watched me come in. After placing the water in front of Matt, I sat back in my seat.
"So down to business," I started the conversation. "Do either of you know what happened?"
Mello shook his head no and Matt said he had no idea.
"Well that's just great. Do you even know where you are right now?"
"I think were in Japan, or maybe it was America" Matt spoke. "Perhaps it was actually England…" he trailed off.
"Basically he's saying he hasn't got a clue." Mello said bored. Matt glared in his direction.
I allowed an amused grin show lightly on face. "You two don't know anything do you?"
Neither of them answered, until the silence was broken by my own yawn.
"It's late and I think we should head to bed." I stretched my arms behind my back and got up from the table.
"There's a spare room down that hall." I pointed to the guest hallway. "I'm sorry, but there is only one bed. If one of you wants to sleep on the couch that's fine."
"Nah, me and Matt can share, you don't have to pull out the couch."
"Alright," Mello and Matt walked into the guest hallway and I saw the bedroom light flicker on.
I headed to my own room and slipped into pajamas. I got under the covers and almost instantly I fell asleep.
