"So about this notebook of his," Hitomi was lying on her stomach on the floor, kicking her legs slowly. "If you suspect Light so much, just go to his house when he's alone and surround his house? He doesn't know our names, so we'll just shoot him and when the Kira killings stopped, we shall know that he was Kira!"
"And if he isn't Kira," Near rolled his eyes while stacking up dice. "Then we're screwed."
"Well there's more than a fifty percent chance that Light is Kira since both you and the original L thought he was Kira," Hitomi looked up towards the ceiling, waving the pencil in her hands around. "So let's just shoot him and get it over with."
"But what about the other Kira's?" Near smirked.
"Shoot them too," Hitomi said, writing something down on a notepad.
"Hm," Near thought. "That is…" he sighed. "Completely out of the question."
"Oh…" Hitomi pouted. "Hey Near?"
"What?" He sighed.
"You're sexy!" She stuck her tongue out of the corner of her mouth.
"I already told you-" Near started, and then turned to stare blankly at the brunette. "What?"
"You're sexy!" Hitomi repeated, smirking and shrugging. "You'll turn all the straight guys gay and all the lesbians straight."
"Hitomi!" Aizawa sighed. "You're here to help with the investigation, not-"
"To make Near's panties wet!" Matsuda teased.
Near's face turned bright red as he got up to go to the bathroom.
Aizawa glared at Hitomi. "Stop trying to get your way."
"I'm not trying to get my way!" Hitomi said too innocently. "I really feel a strong attraction toward Near!" She lied, but not really.
On one hand, she just wanted him to agree with her and shoot Light. On the other hand, she actually did feel attracted toward him… romantically.
"Oh please. Just focus on your work and stop-" Aizawa started.
"Making Near ho-" Matsuda started to sing-song.
"Finish that sentence and I will kill you." Near glared at Matsuda as he entered the room.
"Sorry," Matsuda mumbled, turning back to his work.
"Hey sexy," Hitomi smirked at Near.
The white haired boy tried his best to ignore her. "What are you writing down?"
Hitomi handed Near the notepad she's been writing.
"'Ways To Eliminate Kira aka Light Imagay'." Near read the notepad outloud. "'Step one. Ignore that sexy butthead Near.'" A pinkish tint appeared across his face. "'Shoot Mr. Imagay. Bomb Mr. Imagay. Chop Mr. Imagay's head off. If Mr. Sexy Butthead says no, spike his drink, throw gas bomb, and go shoot Mr. Imagay.'"
Near looked at Hitomi, who blushed slightly, smiling innocently. "So whaddya think, Mr. Sexy Butthead? Except for the last part, you weren't really supposed to read that…"
"I guess I wasn't but I did anyway." Near rolled his eyes. "These ideas are out of the question. If Light, or in your words 'Mr. Imagay' isn't Kira, we're screwed."
"There's more than a fifty percent chance that he IS Kira! You and the original L thought so!" Hitomi protested.
"So?! We still aren't one hundred percent sure that he IS Kira!" Near responded. "We aren't gonna go around murdering everybody we suspect to be Kira!"
"We're only gonna shoot Light," Hitomi rolled her eyes. "Not everybody!"
"What if he isn't Kira?" Near repeated for the billionth time.
"Then too bad!" Hitomi rolled her eyes. "I say we shoot him."
"I say we don't have enough evidence!" Near snapped.
"Evidence is for losers!" Hitomi crawled over to where Near was sitting.
"I say your terrorist!" Near hissed back.
By now Hitomi was so close to him that if she pucker her lips, she'd be kissing him. "I say you're albino!"
"I say you're a whore!" Near growled.
"I say you need to get laid!" Hitomi glared deeply into his eyes.
"I say you're mentally retarded!" Near glared back.
"I say you're a Christian!" Hitomi hissed through her teeth. "So freaking moral!"
"I say you need to be a Christian!" Near responded.
"I say you two should just kiss already!" Machi sighed furiously, banging her fist down on the desk next to the keyboard.
Near and Hitomi turned their heads toward her, with eyes wide and mouth slightly open.
"M-me?! Kiss him?!" Hitomi stammered, her facing turning bright red as she put her hand to her neck, three fingers touching her neck. "N-never!"
"Ew, that's disgusting!" Near pretended to stick his finger down his throat. "I want my first kiss to be with somebody that isn't an eyesore."
"Well I don't want my first kiss to be with a baby!" Hitomi stuck her tongue out at the angry boy. "Nobody's even gonna kiss you! Nobody wants to Do It with a baby!"
"Girls are gonna want to Do It with me!" Near responded harshly.
"You're probably the size of a chiclet!" Hitomi glared at him, still so close that she could kiss him if she puckered her lips.
"No I'm not." Near glared into her big, green eyes. "I'm way bigger than that!"
"No you aren't, Mr. Sexy Butthead Chiclet Boy!" The brunette smirked at him.
"Yes I am." Near really was losing it. "I'm so big-"
"Stop talking about Near's package!" The other female investigator, Mika, hissed through her teeth. "Machi is completely right. You should just kiss already!"
"I said this once, and this is the last time I am saying this." Near spat through his teeth. "That is disgusting, and my first kiss will not be with an eyesore."
"Yeah, it'll be with a stuffed animal!" Hitomi smirked at him.
"I dislike you greatly!" Near said.
"Yeah well," Hitomi sighed. "Okay."
Hitomi turned her back to Near, focusing back on her work.
Near stared at her from the corner of his eye. "Did I hurt her?" He thought, pressing his lips into a hard line.
"Do you have a place to stay?" Aizawa asked Hitomi.
"N-not really, up until now, I lived at my foster mother's house in England," Hitomi sighed.
"You can stay with Near in the penthouse of the Headquarters!" Matsuda suggested, smiling.
"What?!" Near turned to Matsuda and Aizawa.
"That could work," Aizawa nodded. "The penthouse is big enough for the both of them!"
"No!" Hitomi and Near both protested.
"It's not!" Near lied.
"I-I'll sleep in a shop or something!" Hitomi pushed.
"Never!" Matsuda gasped. "You could get raped or mugged!"
"I am in charge of you all, and I say no!!" Near stood up.
"You really don't have a heart, do you?" Aizawa spat.
Near's face went blank. "I-I do have a heart!"
"Then let her stay with you!" Matsuda exclaimed.
"Fine." Near mumbled. "Come on."
A few minutes later, Near and Hitomi were alone in the Penthouse's master bedroom. Everything was perfect for Hitomi living with Near except one thing… there was only one bed, and the couch was too hard on the back.
"The bed is huge, so I'll stay aaaall the way over there," Hitomi pointed to the far left end of the bed. "And you can stay aaaall the way over there!" She pointed to the far right side.
"Fine." Near said. "We get up seven AM sharp and we have to be ready by seven thirty SHARP. We take the elevator to the Main headquarters and we're back here around ten thirty to eleven PM."
"Seven AM?!" Hitomi exclaimed. "No way! I get up at like, nine!"
"Well that isn't gonna fly with this job." Near rolled his eyes. "It's best we get to sleep, since it's nearly midnight."
"Can you turn around while I change?" Hitomi asked.
"I thought those were your pyjamas since you always wear pyjamas during the day," Near mumbled.
"Well they're not," Hitomi said. "Turn."
Near turned, hearing the rustling of Hitomi getting changed. A few seconds later, he turned to see Hitomi in her sleeping pyjamas. Light blue satin short shorts with a light blue satin spaghetti strap shirt with a teddy bear wearing a sleeping cap and saying 'G'Night!' on it.
"Now it's your turn to turn." Near said.
Hitomi turned to hear Near changing into his pyjamas. She turned around a few seconds later to see him wearing white sweatpants with a white and grey polka dot dress shirt.
"Goodnight," Near said.
"'Night," Hitomi grinned back as they shut off the lights and went to their bed.
Sorry the chapter was so short! But it's nearly eleven PM and my parents are having a hissy fit for me to get off, so I promise more chapters (and longer!) soon!!
