Chapter 10-

I looked at the large brick house. All my memories came back to me. I started remembering all the fun times we had together. I walked though the gate and went straight to the main office. Melo and Near were both usually in there, but they weren't in there right now.

"Mr. Wammy." I peeked in from the side of the door.

He was really surprise and almost fell off his chair. " K-K-Key! W-What are you doing here? I haven't seen you since you were this small." He lowered his hand to his waist. He got up and walked over to me.

"Look how much you've grown." He laughed.

"Yeah…I'm currently working on a project with L….."

"L!! How is he lately? He must be really busy."

"Yeah…so as I was saying…I've been working on a project with and L. I've been thinking about Melo and Near and how they're good detectives too. Are they still here?" I asked.

"Of course. Where else would they be? You can have your old room that you stayed in. Melo and Near are lurking somewhere. You can find them anywhere really."

"Oh ok. Thanks." I headed up to my old room. I walked out the door and turned left. Down the long dark hallway lit with only candles I heard somebody else's footsteps headed my way. I knew immediately who it was. I pressed against a wall waiting for this person to walk by. I was going to have a little fun. He finally came and passed me. Then I ran up behind him and wrapped my arm around his neck.

"Nice to meet you again Melo." I whispered in his ear. Melo probably thought I was a stalker or somebody so he took my arm and swung me over his head. Luckily I landed on my feet. Melo's fist were put up into a fighting position, ready to attack.

"Key." He said slightly surprised. He lowered his hands and stared at me. I could see that he was still saying to himself that this was a hallucination, but it wasn't.

"Melo, I've missed you. You've grown a lot. You're almost as tall as I am now." I hugged him.

"So what are you doing here??" He asked, still very confused.

"I was working under L, but then decided to come here for a while. "Do you have a problem with that?" I glared at him.

"U-Uh no. Not at all Key." Melo said nervously. "So how long are you staying here?"

"I don't know….as long as I want but I have to go back because L still needs me."

"Where are you staying? Your old room?" He asked while chewing on some chocolate.

"Yeah. It's going to bring back so many memories. Are you still stuck on chocolate?"

He slightly glared at me and started to walk away. I followed him.

"Uh… wheres Near? Is he still here?"

Melo stopped walking for a moment. Maybe I shouldn't have brought the subject of near. I knew that they were rivals. Then he continued walking

"Yeah, he is…unfortunately" That last part he whispered so I would hear, but I did.

We arrived at my room, which was right across from Melo and Near's room. It was also right next to L's old room. Melo then went into his room. I lay down on my bed. It was nice to be back. I quickly fell asleep.

"Key." Somebody called.

"Key." It wasn't L nor was it Melo.

"Key." I opened my eyes slightly. I saw nothing but white. I couldn't be dead could I?

"Key!" I sat up in bed and looked at the person that disturbed me greatly in my sleep.

"WHAT!" I am really grouchy when I wake up. I was facing the one and only Near.

"Just like always." Near said. "You're always grouchy when somebody wakes you up. I wonder how L deals with you alone."

I blushed slightly. It was kind of embarrassing to be scolded by somebody younger than you.

"So why did you wake me up?" I got out of bed and stuck a lollipop in my mouth.

"Don't eat now. Dinner is ready. Come on already, Melo is waiting for us." Near explained. I followed him out of my room and then we went down stairs.

"You're LATE!" Melo glared at us while leaning back in his chair, chewing a chocolate bar.

"Gomen-nasai." I cowered in the corner. Near, he just looked away.

We ate dinner together in Melo's room. We didn't like a lot of people mumbling and laughing around us, it was quite annoying.

That night I received a call from L. He asked how I was doing and not to have too much fun. I would need to come back to work soon. He also reminded me that if something happened that his first suspect would be Light and that I would need to immediately take over from him.

He's always treating me like a child but I'm not anymore. He may be older than me by 4 months but that doesn't give him the right to treat me like that. Grr. I was really mad. He must really care about me. That, made me feel a lot better. Nothing will happen to him will it? I wish he'd stop saying those things, it made me feel awkward and scared. L strong NOTHING will ever happen to him.

I can tell that you guys know where I'm taking this right? This story follows that main plot of Death Note, but don't worry. Many people didn't want L to die and I don't want L to die either so……….I CAN'T TELL YOU. He's not going to die but something is going to happen to him. The story goes on without him…well with him but he's not mentioned that much. Anyways, you'll see what happens. Everything will go as planned. Wow this story is coming out really fast. Soon, it'll be over. Oh well see you next time people. I'll try updating faster. THANK YOU!
