Chapter 13: Luck

Ryuk stared at the notebook as Light wrote down the girl's last name. Light stopped writing and slammed it shut.

"If you were right about her knowledge, I could've defeated L faster," Light spun around in his chair, "but then again it's not like she would have been smart enough to not get caught…"

"You're so arrogant…" Ryuk complained.

"I have to be, if I don't watch out for myself, who's going to reign over the new world?" Light laughed.

Ryuk sighed and chomped on his apple, trying not to laugh this time.

Mello carefully watched as Kurai slipped across an alleyway, then fell to her knees with a simple "Oh." She stayed there, breathing heavily and Mello rushed to her, surprised when their gazes connected.

Her wide eyes stared at his and he placed his hand on top of hers. Kurai smirked.

"Pretty little Kira can't touch me," Kurai laughed.

"What do you mean?" Mello asked, confused.

"He just tried to kill me, I'm safe though…" Kurai shifted her weight and sat. He did the same.

"You see, there's something that will make sure I don't die, and it's luck, pure, godforsaken luck."

"Just explain it," Mello said. She smiled and a cat sat on a nearby window.

"I'm not who you think I am." Kurai stated.

The clock struck 2:47 P.M. and Matt ran to Kurai's room, unknotting the sheet tied to her window and dumping it in the laundry bin. He'd have to move fast, Kurai said he'd only have seven minutes to make it out of there without getting caught. After that, he had to run to the toy store four blocks away and wait for Rod to pick him up, and then they'd pick up Mello and Kurai, who would be waiting at bus stop # 1337 and after that…

It's complicated, but well worth it, Matt though as he lit up a cigarette and marched out of the orphanage.

He ran three blocks when he saw Rod's car.

"HEY!!! ROSS, I'M HERE!!!" Matt said, flailing his arms. The car stopped and Matt got on. After a couple minutes the car stopped again, Matt looked out the window and was intrigued on what he saw: Mello was frozen, staring at Kurai.

"Whatever girlie said really surprised Mello…" Rod said, watching the scene.

"Yeah, I guess so…"

"So your name was changed by the court to protect you, right after your father was caught being in the Mafia." Mello said.

"Yep, my mom and I had our names changed… You know my father, don't you?" Mello stared blankly at her, yet decided to ignore that.

"What's your true name?" Mello stared intently at Kurai.

She stared back, and then sighed. Her silver eyes and his turquoise stared, each with their own emotions. Then she spoke.

"Kuraiku Snydar."
