Disclaimer: Ya know what? This will be my last disclaimer I am putting up here, 'cause I'm tired of putting it up every single chapter. XD So... I don't own Death Note or any other stuff I put in here that isn't mine!
A/N: Okay, this is a short chapter and I rushed to get it finished. XD We're gonna go and watch a movie later, so yeah.
Bleh, I won't be putting the ages up this time, 'cause I think you get the point. But...
Roger - around the same age as Watari (75-80)
What was Watari thinking when he hired Roger to teach English?
The old man kept on droning about something that wasn't even related to similes and metaphors. Near picked up on bits of Roger's 'lecture', like 'insects', 'bombardier beetles', 'bed', and 'Watari'.
'…Ew,'
Near visibly shuddered when he heard the last two words put in a sentence.
Mello was the only student in the class who noticed Near tremble in… disgust? He wasn't too sure. When the blonde was about to open his mouth to whisper something to his rival (or friend, but he wouldn't admit that… yet), but he suddenly got struck by a cane on the head.
"Ow! What the fuck?!" Mello clutched his cranium in pain.
"Pay attention, you stupid boy!" Roger reprimanded heatedly, "There is a test five weeks from now, so listen!"
"Yes, Roger." The chocoholic drawled. He got whacked again.
"It's Ruvie-san to you!" The old man whacked Mello again, "And that's for swearing in class earlier!"
"Child abuse!" Matt suddenly exclaimed, standing up and pointing at Roger. The whole class sniggered and Near managed a small smile.
"Do you want to get whacked like your dear friend here?" The teacher threatened.
"No, but hitting a child-" Mello pouted and crossed his arms. He was so not a child! "-is not allowed!" Matt explained.
"I know that, Jeevas! But he deserved it for not paying attention in class!" Roger shouted, making Mello, Near, and Matt cringe. "Now be a good boy and sit, impudent whelp!"
"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me!" He retorted childishly, sticking his tongue out.
The gamer was then hit in the middle of the forehead by a flying dictionary.

When the bell rang, the three boys rushed out of the room before Roger could even finish saying, 'dismissed'. The boys now had a fifteen minute break before the next two periods start.
Mello groaned, clutching his head. He turned to Near, "How did you even get away with mucking around in class? You were fiddling with a Rubik's cube in the front of the room, where Roger can clearly see you!" He exclaimed.
Matt winced and rubbed his forehead in pain, "Could you be quiet, Mels? I've got a headache." He said. Mello muttered a 'sorry' and proceeded to open his locker.
"Maybe it had something to do with my white hair…" Near mused. The other two gave him odd looks. "… you know what? Never mind…" He mumbled, not wanting to explain. Matt opened a bottle of orange juice and started to drink.
Mello shrugged and took out a chocolate bar from his bag. "So what do we do now?" He enquired, neatly unwrapping the foil off his chocolate bar.
Before Near could answer his rival, L came up to them. "Hello boys." The detective greeted, smiling.
"Hey Ryuzaki," Near and Mello replied monotonously. Matt raised a hand in greeting because he was still drinking his orange juice.
L raised a thin eyebrow, "You guys look a bit under the weather." He commented.
Near sighed, "We just had Ruvie-san for English. He hit Mello with his cane and made him his bitch."
Matt swallowed his orange juice and started to laugh hysterically, leaning on the lockers for support. Mello threw his unfinished chocolate bar into his locker and proceeded to walk menacingly towards Near, his hands getting ready to strangle the smaller boy. Near squeaked and hid behind L.
L rolled his eyes, "That's enough boys. Now hurry up, the principal wants to see us."

"Good, you made it in time." Watari greeted the four males. He then gestured to the chairs in front of him. "Sit,"
Mello and Matt sat on the plush chairs Watari provided. L and Near both took off their shoes and sat on the two remaining wooden seats in their unique ways. L had his knees to his chest and Near sat on one leg, the other to his chest.
"Now I am going straight to the point: have you heard of a group called 'Shinigami'?" Watari enquired.
Mello's eyebrows rose, "Yeah. I saw it on the front of the newspaper when I was out shopping for chocolate." He recalled, referring to yesterday. "It said something about them killing criminals and lowering the crime rate in Japan."
"Correct," Watari commended the blonde. "Shinigami is a group of people that kills criminals under the orders of their leader. Shinigami is currently widespread across all of Japan. People on the internet have just recently made sites about the leader, calling him Kira. Foolish ones think of Kira as a god, and say that he is wiping out all the evil in this country." The principal explained.
"So crime rates are down because the criminals are afraid that Kira and his group will kill them? Interesting…" L muttered to himself, chewing on his thumb.
Matt snorted in amusement, "Why would the Kira supporters name their so called 'god' a word that means 'sparkles'?" He asked, smiling goofily.
"It's probably coming from the English word 'killer'." Near mused, twirling his white locks lazily.
"Do you know where Kira resides at the moment?" L asked the old man in front of him.
"I cannot be too sure, but most probably here in Kanto." Watari clarified, "Most of the murders by Kira happen here anyway…"
"How do we confirm that Kira is here...?" L mumbled, taking out a red sweet out from his pocket, unwrapping it, and popping it into his mouth.
The old man smiled, "I've got an idea…"
A/N: Zzzz...
Artemis Day: Misa's one of my favorite characters in Death Note, and Kiyomi... well... ANYWAY, L is no doubt the worst driver ever. Seriously, L is da bomb, but I just can't see him driving a car in the canon... So I wrote that scene. :D Thanks for the review!
Eyes-Tell-The-Best-Stories: It's okay, at least you still get cheesecake! XD Yes, B... I can't leave him out of the story! He's a bit creepy, but totally awesome. Yes, you can have L next, but puddingcup won't let him go. Lol... so here's Mello! -gives you Mello- Thanks for the review!
--
Mello: ...have you got any chocolate?
--
puddingcup: Lol, don't hug L too tightly, he might die... I gotta share him around with the other reviewers! XD... oh, and it's the next chapter so... -takes L away from you, and gives him to Eyes-Tell-The-Best-Stories- Hmm, I'll ask Misa if she wants to go shopping with you later if she can... and Near so cute I wanna cuddle him! :D Thanks for the review!
--
Mello: 'Sup?
L: Nothing much...
--
Misa: OF COURSE MISA WILL GO SHOPPING WITH PUDDINGCUP!! We'll be BFFs! YAY!
--
Near: I'm hilarious? Wow... I never actually try to be... but okay.
--
Peaches and Sweet Cream: BB is the awesomeness. -nods- Oh good, Az isn't a Mary Sue! Yay! :) Gay? As in gay for Raito/Matsuda/Near/Mello/Any other guy in the Death Note series? Gay for cake? Or just plain asexual? XD Honestly, I sometimes picture L as gay -coughForRaitoconsideringthehandcuffsandallcough-, but in this story L will be straight. I'm not entirely sure if L and Az will get into a relationship, or just stay as friends... time will tell. XD
--
Az: Oh thank God! If I turn out to be a Mary Sue I will commit a crime and get Kira to kill me!
--
B: Ahahaha! See that, Lawliet? I'm populaaaar! Haha!
L: Not as popular as me, though.
B: ... don't ruin my happy moment...-sniffles-

Matt: ... -coughs awkwardly- ...Reviews are greatly appreciated.
