Disclaimer: If I owned Death Note, There would be alot of yaoi...

"Ouch... I feel sick." The readhead opened his eyes slowly, letting the surroundings sink in, He bolted upright to find himself in a field. "Ok.. This is wierd..." He stood up and looked around. "Mello?" he called out, realizing that his blonde wasn't there with him. "MELLO!" He started running, nearly running into a knight. Wait... A Knight?!? The hell!?? Where am I? The middle ages?

"Young prince, your parents are looking for you. They have some important news." The knight said bowing. Me? A Prince? Matt wondered. Wow, the world had really been fucked this time. The knight lead the way back to the castle.

"Mail! What are you wearing young man? Where did you find those prison garbs?" A woman asked, hugging him tightly. She was pretty, with long red hair and was wearing a royal looking gown. Matt tried not to glare. He personally liked his outfit. A man walked up behind her.

"Mail..." he shook his head in disgust. "You always were an odd one... Now go change. You must be prepared for travel."

"Wha-?" Matt never finished.

"Mihael. Mihael has been stolen by the Dark sorcerer, Mikami the Dark. You must save him! He's your best friend!" His 'mother' said. She pushed him towards the stairs and his room. His 'father' gave him a shield and sword.

"You'll need these." Matt nodded and denied any armour. That stuff looked to heavy for his tastes. He then rushed out and nearly ran into, er, tripped over, something. Matt looked down to see a familiar face.

"NEAR?!?!" He asked. Near gave him a funny look.

"Yes, that is my name.." He said suspiciously, twirling a strand of silver hair in his fingers. That was when Matt noticed that something wasn't quite right. Since when did Near have goat hooves?

"What the Hell happened to you?!? You have GOAT feet! If Mello saw this he'd be laughing his ass off!" Matt tensed. "Mello..."

"I am a Faun and your blonde friend?" Near asked. "I heard what happened to Mihael, and even though I despise him, I will travel with you to get him." He then pulled a backpack off his back. "Since you are my friend of course." He then gave Matt a piece of bread. "We need strength." Matt popped the piece in his mouth and nodded. Near then led the way through town.

"This place is so wierd.." Matt mumbled to himself as he looked around. "Hey, Near, how far is this place we are going? How long till we reach our destination?" Near scoffed at the redhead.

"Ten days at least." The albino faun told him, twirling more hair around his finger as he walked. Matt sighed. Same old Near... Even though his appearence is way different. Matt found himself twiddling his fingers. He needed a smoke so he searched in his pocket. He found one and popped it into his mouth then grabbed his lighter. Thank God they never disappeared. He took a drag then let it out quickly when he realized that Near was glaring at him.

"What?" He asked. Near continued to glare with suspicion then shrugged and turned his attention to in front of them. Matt shrugged as well. Now all he needed was his DS which he realized he had left in his car back in his world. Matt closed his eyes, imagining that he was playing a video game.

"Are you on drugs, Matt?" Near asked, noting the odd expressions on Matt's face. He had been lost in his thoughts of video games, and in turn, was making faces as if he were playing the games. Matt sighed Seeing you as a faun.. One would think so... He thought in response to Near's comment.

They stopped once they reached a forest. Near tensed as he looked into the darkness. Matt was slightly scared.

"Maybe we should set up camp..." He said nervously. Near shook his head.

"If we stop now, it'll take longer... Or whatever is in there will come out for us. We continue." Matt did not like the serious tone Near had. It scared him more to think that there were things in there that would attack them. Seeing as there were no limits to the creatures of this world, he wouldn't be surprised to be attacked by something bigger and scarier than a bear... Matt froze as he felt a kick to the shin.

"HOLY SHIT THAT HURT!" Matt yelped, hopping on one foot. "THE HELL'D YOU DO THAT FOR?"

"You weren't listening to me." Near said, unamused.

"Then what did you say? You didn't have to kick me you know... Those hooves are sharper than a knife!" Matt looked at his shin. It was definately bruised. He pushed down his pant leg and turned to Near who had his arms crossed.

"I said, let's get going."
