A/N: Hmm, well I've gotten some reviews for pairing suggestions....
-MelloxNear
-MattxMello / MelloxMatt
-NearxLinda
-BBxAz
-NearxMr. Fluffles (LOLOLOLOL JUST KIDDING XD)
Hmm, I'm not sure if some of these pairings will work with the story, but I'll try.
If you have anymore suggestions, don't hesitate to review! I won't be starting votes up until I have enough suggestions.
L sighed as the video ended. Behind him seated on the couches of his house were Mello, Near, Matt and Linda, all looking at him worriedly. The detective felt their concerned stares boring into him and turned around, forcing a small smile.
"It is to be expected." L started, slowly at first. "A lot of criminals want to kill me, and I can do nothing about it except apprehend them as soon as possible."
The insomniac fully turned to the four teens, "This is a very dangerous time. I want you to look out for each other always and not let bitter feeling get between you. That's the time when Kira will strike." His gunmetal eyes flickered from Mello to Near then rested on Linda. "I know you're not one of my successors Linda and you're not supposed to be tangled in all of this, but Kira will be after you too since you started hanging out with them. I want you to be safe so all of you stick as close to each other as possible."
Linda frowned, but nodded. Matt briefly exchanged looks with Mello and turned to L, "Aren't you worried about yourself?" He asked.
L smiled bitterly, "I'm used to this, Matt. This is just another daily occurrence of my life." He paused, "If fact, think of this whole Kira business as training to be L. This sounds challenging, yes, but you'll be tackling other cases like this in the future."
On the coffee table, L's phone rang, the lyrics of Metallica blaring through its tiny speakers. Unfortunately, Near was just next to it totally engrossed with his tower of cards. The sound made him yelp in surprise and fall forward, landing on his tower.
That effectively broke the tension in the room as Mello and Matt laughed uproariously, Linda trying to hide her bubbles of laughter, but failing. Near hastily sat back up, glaring at his giggling friends.
"Shut up," He pouted, weakening the glare and making the three laugh even harder.
L smirked a bit and ruffled the boy's white hair. He swiftly picked up his phone and answered the caller, "Az,"
"Aww!" She whined childishly, "How'd you find out?"
"I have your number set on a Metallica ringtone, seeing as you like that kind of music."
"Okay, okay." The woman said dismissively, "BB just called, we're to meet him at the café near the school ASAP." L's eyes widened a bit.
"Okay, good bye," The detective hung up and turned to the others, "I have to go. Mello, since you're the oldest, you'll be in charge while I'm gone…" Seeing Mello smirk evilly, L backtracked, "On second thought, Near can be in charge." Mello visibly deflated.
"Okay," Near said.
"I'll be back soon. I'll call you if I'm going to be late." L put on some worn out sneakers and stepped out of the front door, leaving the teens in the house.
All alone.
"Let's party," Matt said suddenly, and Near made no move to stop him.

Beyond Birthday calmly sipped his tea, sitting normally on his seat so no one could recognise him. He was wearing a white shirt with a red vest on top and newly-bought baggy jeans. He was wearing sandals on his feet. People who knew him wouldn't recognise him easily from a distance.
B glanced up to see Az, his red eyes studying her. 'She's certainly grown,' He thought to himself. Next to his childhood friend was his brother, L Lawliet. He was slouching, wearing his usual attire, and not caring that people were staring. 'Henh, henh, henh… same old Lawli.'
The murderer suddenly raised a hand and waved them to his table. He smirked when he saw their eyes widen. Az and L walked to his table quite quickly. B stood up from his seat and quickly hugged both of them.
"Nice to see you again," B chuckled, seeing their astonished faces. Though L's face only had a minor change, just a slight widening of the eyes.
"BB," Az grinned, "It's really great to see you again! We missed you craploads!"
L rolled his eyes at her, "You could've phrased that better," He turned to B, "You know meeting with you is against the law, since you're a convict on the loose." He paused, "But you are my brother, and you are helping us…"
B grinned, "Nice to hear that you two care." He gestured to the table, "Sit," They complied.
"Now," B started, "I'm wearing these clothes not because I want to, but 'cause I don't want Kira and his goons finding out about me meeting you. I'm in a very tight spot here at the moment and I need to move my way outta here slowly." He paused, looking at their reactions. "Secondly, I called you here because Kira's on the move and I need to tell you what I've gotten so far. Kira is a very confidential man so this information was hard to get."
Beyond let the other two absorb this information, and then he continued. "I've gotten data on who's working for Kira in Wammy High." He saw Az's lips tighten a bit and L narrowing his eyes. "You probably already figured out that Takada Kiyomi is working for him, more as a recruiter and messenger. One of the teachers, Mikami Teru I believe, is one of Kira's high-status men, so he should know a lot of information. There's Ryuk, who's like a lookout. Though he doesn't really support Kira… overall I think he just doesn't care." Beyond shrugged, "Rem has been blackmailed to join Kira. Turns out Kira threatened to kill Amane Misa if she didn't join. I'm not sure of what she does actually…"
"This is a lot of information," L commented.
"Y'know L…" B drawled, "If you don't like people interrupting you, then you shouldn't interrupt them yourself." The murderer smirked.
"Anyways," He continued, "Wammy's PE teacher also worked with Kira to some degree, but he dislikes Kira greatly and doesn't even respond to him anymore. It's a wonder how he's still alive. I also think Yagami Raito works with Kira, but I don't know. Also I suspect his girlfriend, Misa, to work for Kira."
"Wow," Az finally said.
Beyond snorted, "That's it, Azzy-kins? 'Wow'?"
L hummed, his brain coming up with a generous idea. "Tell me Beyond," He said, "Do you need a place to stay?"
B blinked, "I guess so…?" He said uncertainly, not sure of what his brother was thinking about.
"It's settled then, you can stay with the boys and I." The detective concluded, studying with amused eyes at his brother's expression.
B spluttered, "B-But what if Kira finds out?"
"Trust me, he won't,"
Tainted red eyes clashed with calculating gunmetal ones, each one testing each other. Finally for what seemed like an eternity, B smiled. "I'd love to, thanks Lawli." He said gratefully and convincingly. The two brothers shook hands firmly, sealing the agreement.
'…Thanks for the opportunity to get you quicker…'
