So apparently soon means now... I'm sorry! -.- I did try but everything is catching up with me at school and I've been coming home too tired to write. Most days I fall right to sleep and my mom has to wake me up. I do try to work on this on weekends but I get so busy at my dad's with my almost step-sister (who is 13) and I forget. Please forgive me!

I OWN MY CHARACTERS AND IDEAS! THE REST GOES TO RESPECTIVE OWNERS! The shinigami isn't even mine. It's actually the nameless shinigami from the anime. http:/ deathnote (dot) wikia (dot) com/wiki/Unnamed_Shinigami

Above me stood what I could only guess was a shinigami. It's boney body covered by a dirty coat, goggles and a red bandana wrapped around it's skull head and the bandana held back dirty brownish hair that spiked straight up. It looked down at me with it's glowing red eyes. Alarmed I skittered backwards until my back hit the white wall of my room. My breath came out in quick gasps, my heart thundered so fast in my chest that it felt like it had stopped, I started to get light headed and soon passed out.

"I'm not paying you for bringing me the spare key for the family vehicle!" I shouted at my brother.

"Is that your final answer?" He asked, walking towards the basement. "Because if you don't I'll get it some other way."

Knowing he meant selling something of mine I ran down the stairs before he could reach my video games. Only, they were already gone. That bastard already took my games!

"Where are they Aho?" I growled.

"I hid them where you won't ever find them." He smirked.

Beyond pissed I strode to where he stood on the stairs and glared at him. The urge to punch him right in his smug little face was almost overwhelming but I held back. A trip to the hospital while mom was in Mexico was a really bad idea. In hindsight I should have because it was warranted and he was a legal adult so he would go to jail. But self preservation won out.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!" I screeched at him.

Now he started to scream at me. "I had to use my gas. You're not getting out of this one! Either you pay me $10 or I'm pawning your games."

Mentally calculating the worth of the first 3 Assassin's Creed and my Naruto Shippuden Ninja Storm 2 I knew it was way over. One of those games would have worked for $10.

"That's way too much!" I snarled.

"I'm getting the $10, you can have what's left."

Liar. "You don't get SHIT from me! You have no right to pawn my stuff!"

After more yelling he went to his car and threw my games across the room. Assassin's Creed 2 fell out onto the floor, logo down thankfully. I gathered them and my other games from the basement and ran to my room, sitting in front of my door like I used to when I was younger and Aho was having one of his fits about something I did. My bedroom door opened into my room and right in front of it was a wall so I could have my back against the door and feet against the wall and no one could get in.

"You pay me by Sunday or I'm pawning your shit!" My brother yelled at me.

"Fuck you!" I screamed as I texted my dad, looking for help.

Dad called and managed to calm Aho down but my brother was still pissed. I lay in front of my door and sobbed for a good hour and a half before calming down enough to move to my bed and put in my ear-buds.

Flashbacks suck. Seriously. I hate my brain for making me relive that. My older brother is a major ass and I really hated his guts. I cracked open my eyes and looked around at the strange room.

"You're awake! Excellent!" A perky nurse smiled at me and left.

Soon after Beyond came in and sat beside me. I watched him warily as I pushed myself to a sitting position.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

"When they found you laying on the ground in your room they thought the worst. I'm glad to see you are alright."

I was confused, what had happened with Beyond being mad at me? It must have shown because he smiled at me kindly.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Rue Ryuzaki." An older man I recognized as Watari came in and stood behind him.

"What!" I exclaimed and the pair looked alarmed. "I thought you were Beyond!"

L laughed. "We do look alike. I can understand your confusion."

"Wait... Why did you think something bad had happened?" I asked.

"They thought Beyond had hurt you, or worse."

I fought the urge to put a hand to my black eye. "Why would they think that?"

"You spent quite a bit of time with him before. And when we found his fingerprints on A there was a bit of concern that you may have known about the murder and Beyond had tried to silence you."

"When did you find out that B had killed A?"

"Shortly after A's death."

"So why was everyone concerned? A nurse came to my room a little while after. And wouldn't Beyond be in custody?"

"He was." L told me. "But I'm afraid he managed to escape."

Just then the door burst open, making me jump and all of us stare at the person.

I figured I'd leave it at that for now. I know I haven't been updating that much but I am trying. I'm sorry my readers. Oh and the flashback Michi had actually just happened to me in real life. I locked myself out of the family van and my brother brought me the keys and demanded money for it. *Sigh* Family drama. I changed my brother's name to Aho (Dumb ass) because it would have been weird for Michi to have a Japanese name and her brother to be named Mason. Plus it makes me feel better. Until we next meet my lovely readers!
