A/N- Hey guys. REAALY sorry i haven't updated in a while. I have been SUPER busy lately with a bunch of stuff, but i got a huge amount of motivation and inspiration this week. BTW- thank you to all of you that reviewed/favorited/followed this story. It means so much. And and EXTRA thanks to my good friend snowwhiteangel. She drew Samantha and her drawing is now up on Deviantart so go check it out: .com
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Death Note characters or any other brand-name project that may be mentioned throughout the story. I only own my OC, Samantha Matthews.

'Alright, I'm going to need at least four shirts.." Sam thought as she pulled out four grey long sleeve shirts and threw them into her worn duffel bag. 'I wish Watari would have told us how long we would be in San Francisco. Then I would have some idea of what to pack!' As she was debating whether to bring ANOTHER long sleeve grey shirt, she heard a door unlock. Before she could even turn around to see who it could be, a pair of long pale arms were around her and lifting her off the ground. The voice of Beyond Birthday came from behind her, "Hey Sam! Whatcha doin'?"
"I'm packing, Beyond! What does it look like?! Now let me go!" Sam pleaded.
"Well, since you asked nicely.." Beyond sighed as he set her back down.
"Thank you. Now if you don't mind, I have some very important- Oh God you're all here." Sam turned around to see Mello, Matt, Near, L, and BB all in her room...uninvited.
"Come on guys! I have to pack and I don't want you to see my..." Sam paused. She didn't know how to say bras and underwear delicately...
"What? You don't want us to see your PANTIES!?" Beyond shouted into the hallway.
"Beyond Birthday, be quiet. Can you not see you are making Samantha uncomfortable?" L replied sternly.
"You're not the boss of me..." B grumbled as he plopped down on Sam's bed.
"Thank you, L. Now, all of you, please leave." Samantha begged, but to no avail. Mello sat at her vanity looking through her makeup, while Near was sifting through her homework papers, and Matt was searching through the piles of clothes in her closet.
"Why do you all feel the need to look through my stuff?" Sam sighed.
"Where did you get this brand of eyeliner? They don't sell it in the common store," Mello asked.
"GUYS. PLEASE I NEED TO GET READY," Samantha yelled.
"B-but, the eyeliner.." Mello stammered.
"NO. ALL OF YOU, OUT!"
And just like that Samantha was alone again.
...
About an hour later there came a knock at the door. Three knocks, then a pause, then two more knocks. Sam knew it was one of her boys. They came up with that knock when they were little kids to let the others know who was on the other side of the door. Sam finished putting the last of her clothes in her bag and walked over to opened the door to see the identical faces of L and B. "Hello Samantha. We are very sorry for bothering you earlier. Right, Beyond Birthday?" L said giving B a stern look.
"Not really.." B grumbled, then L elbowed him. Hard. "Ok ok. Geez. I'm sorry S. Will you ever forgive me?" he said with a bit of flirtation in his voice.
"That's enough, Beyond." L pinched the bridge of his nose, looking quite annoyed, "Samantha, Mr. Watari asked us to tell you to meet us outside by the fountain in twenty minutes with all of your luggage."
"Ok, thanks L, thanks B. I'll see you then" said Sam with a small smile. L gave her a nod and grabbed B's arm as they walked down the hallway. But Samantha caught a wink from Beyond just before they were out of sight.
...
L waited until they were out of earshot and threw B's arm so that he was in front of him "What do you think you were doing back there? You know things like that make her uncomfortable."
"Ouch! You didn't have to be so rough," B said rubbing his elbow, "And I don't think Sam is the one that is uncomfortable, Brother."
"What are you implying?" L glared.
"I'm implying that you don't like to see someone else flirting with your woman," B said with a smirk.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Beyond. Samantha has never belonged to me."
"Oh you know exactly what I mean. It's so obvious, L. The way you look at her, ever since we were little kids. All of the others know too. Why don't you do something about it instead of sitting here like an idiot? And who knows, if you don't make a move then maybe I will," B said still smirking.
"Beyond, if you say anything to Samantha or the others, you will regret it," L threatened.
"Don't worry, lover boy. Your secret's safe with me."
"Good, now, we must go pack. We leave in twenty minutes and I cannot find my duffel bag,"
Beyond laughed. One, at his brother's foolishness, L should have known that Beyond had taken his duffel bag, and two, at his brother's feelings. B knew where this was going, but he intended to make the trip as much fun as possible.
...
Twenty minutes later the six students were gathered outside Wammy's House around the large fountain near the front doors. Each one of them with a case file in their hand delivered by Mr. Roger, the disciplinarian himself. Beyond, Matt, and Mello had especially gotten a kick out of that one. They could practically see the steam pouring out of his ears when he had to tell them "Congratulations" on their case.
L was busy thinking too, but it wasn't about the case. He looked over to Sam. Her hair was tied in a long pony tail that just brushed her bottom, and she was wearing an oversized grey hoodie with black leggings with a pair of worn tennis shoes. 'It doesn't do much for her figure though. She would look much better with a...NO.' L shook his head. He can't think about things like that now. It could ruin everything. The case, their friendship... there was too much on the line to mention anything right now. He would wait. Wait until the time was right, then explain these feelings and pray that she felt similarly. The sound of a car horn broke L from his train of thought. A large black Hummer rolled up near them. 'Well, it looks like this is it,' L thought as he looked at the large marble building behind him. Somehow he knew that things were never going to be the same.
