Chapter 4: Air

"What the hell, hey Misa!? Have you seen my suitcase?" Light was franticly trying to gather everything into his bags, cramming what he could in his suitcase. Somehow he found his ticket then realized it said Tuesday, which happened to be today.

He rushed out the door, nearly jumped into Watari's car to get to the airport, and took off.

"Good luck, Light," Misa whispered, and walked away, heels clacking as she stepped on the pavement. She gave one last glance back.

"Alright, so you're sure you've hacked into everything we need, Matt?" Mello seemed to be calmer, at least on the outside. I can't believe it, we're finally one step ahead of Kira. This should be good. But why am I so damn excited? Ugh, Matt's looking at me funny… Oh! I'm acting differently. Right.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving shortly. Please buckle your seats, and thank you for sharing your flight with us."

-- 4:43 P.M. --

"Oh, look! There she goes," Matt whispered to Mello. Both were currently hiding behind bushes. A certain person was coming home, red and black backpack over their left shoulder. The wind whipped back her black hair. "Whoa, I don't know about you, but she seems different. She looks kind of, um, powerful. Just look at her."

Mello agreed. They kept watching her. And watching. And watching…… And then it started to drizzle.

"Oh, great!" Mello exclaimed, slightly irritated. Kurai didn't seem to mind. She giggled slightly and ran back to the center of the yard.

"Shit!" Mello dropped his binoculars, which managed to snap a few branches, scare two birds, and get Kurai's attention. Confused, she faced exactly to the direction where Mello and Matt where hiding. It's now or never, Mello thought. She walked to where they were, peering through a branch of the bush.

"Anyone here? I swear I heard som- Ah!" She slipped over the moist grass, and incidentally, the area behind the bushes was steep.

"Oh my god! Is she unconscious?!"

"Matt, calm down!"

He pouted slightly. "Sorry."
