Chapter 4: Narcissist


Mello made sure that L, Light, A, and Near were already around the corner and down the hallway when he turned. Matt was covering the hidden door back up as Mello glared. On Matt's back was a wet spot, probably from one of the dripping pipes. Mello couldn't stand the spot and how it wouldn't disappear so he swung his leg back and kicked the spot dead on, causing Matt to meet the ground face first.

"Ow." Matt stated but did nothing more as he turned to face Mello, still on the ground.

"Why didn't you let Near read the other file?" Mello asked. "And don't give me any 'What other file?' shit. I know you took one. Why'd you take it? What did it say?"

Matt looked at Mello, the blond looking even more intimidating in the dark. It's not like Mello scared him, though, because Matt was never scared of Mello.

Matt sighed.

"Nate River seems to be getting worse. He has grown to be a Narcissist. Someone should keep an eye on him at all times." Matt stated, as if reading from a paper.

"And when was that written?" Mello asked, bending down so he and Matt were face to face.

"... Three months ago." Matt answered.

"Huh, and what about Light? Maybe he's schizophrenic but he doesn't seem to ever be extremely happy and then extremely upset." Mello stated.

"Don't worry yourself. I'll take care of Light and Near, okay? So just let me go before we get caught and I lose my job." Matt explained, trying to push Mello out of the way but the blond wouldn't budge.

"I don't understand. Why do you care so much about us? Why are you so nice to us all the time?" Mello asked.

"Because I care. Because I'm not heartless and cold. Because maybe Watari and Roger don't understand your group but I do. I see what you all are hiding. I see." Matt explained, biting his lip.

Mello looked at the redhead, believing every word, as his gaze traveled to Matt's lip. He grew infuriated. Matt was biting his lip but not to the brink of bleeding, and it was bothering the blond. How could he stop the annoying biting?

So Mello leaned forward, holding Matt's face with his right hand, and made their lips meet. Matt was in shock and tried to move back but Mello decided that it was a good time to bite Matt's lip. Matt gasped and Mello took entry, licking the blood from the bleeding lip out of the hot cavern.

It was so strange. It all felt like a daze. It felt so good and yet Matt knew it had to stop, and soon.

Matt pushed Mello off, finally, gasping for much needed air. Mello looked confused as Matt stood up, shaking his head.

"I can't do this Mello, and your smart enough to know why." Matt stated and then walked out the room with his head hung down.

Mello watched him leave. Confused. Well, at least Matt wasn't biting his lip anymore.

"What do you mean we need to go outside?" Light asked.

"You have to go outside and work your muscles just like you would at home. You can't just stay inside all day." Matt explained as he led the group outside. People immediately separated. Some went to the volleyball net, others to the basketball court, and the rest sat on the grass.

Light noticed that there was a tennis court that nobody was at.

Nobody, that is, except for L.

"Is it that nobody likes to play tennis or they just choose to leave L alone?" Light asked as he walked with Matt over to the tennis court.

"Nobody plays. It gets them annoyed, don't know why but the majority of crazy people here don't like to play tennis." Mello explained.

"Perhaps they just are not good at it." Near stated.

"And you are?" Mello asked.

"I would be if I practiced but such physical things are not needed and are found useless." Near explained. Light looked around when he made it to the court.

"Where's A? Shouldn't he be out here too?" Light asked.

"A's talking with his doctor. You'll see him later." Light could practically smell the lie that Matt just spat out.

Nobody questioned further because Matt seemed to be acting strange that day.

So, Light turned and gabbed a lonely racket that lay on the ground. It was old and worn out but still good for a game of tennis. He then looked at L who looked concentrated. L was about to throw the ball in the air when Light went on the opposite court and stood there, making L lose his balance as he tried to stop his momentum from hitting the ball.

"What are you doing? Hit the ball." Light stated, getting ready.

"Are you sure?" L asked as he moved back to the edge of the court, bouncing the ball. "I'm very good at tennis."

Light smirked.

"I'm sure, now toss it." Light ordered. L grabbed the ball and tossed it in the air, as it came spiraling down he swung his racket so they made contact and sent the ball to Light's side of the court, bouncing and then hitting the fence. Light stood in shock as he walked to get the ball.

"Wow, you weren't kidding." Light said as he threw the ball back to L.

"There's still time to quit Light!" Mello yelled from the sidelines, laughing.

"No way, I'm ready for it this time." Light stated. L hit the ball again but this time Light was able to successfully hit the ball back to L's side. L was shocked and rushed to hit the ball back onto Light's side of the court.

"Wow, Light really is good." Matt stated.

"Eh, he's okay. I still think L will win." Mello stated.

"I don't know. L's ace card is his serve when it comes to tennis, but it seems like Light is really good at sending serves back. Maybe L will finally lose." Near stated.

"And maybe you'll finally shut up!" Mello yelled at the younger boy. "I can't stand next to you anymore."

Mello walked to the opposite side of the tennis court and sat down. He watched the intense match between L and Light. Light scored once and L was back to serving. The blond looked around, just past the tennis court was a hill and at the bottom of the hill was where the driveway was. Strangely there was a car, and A was at the car.

Was A... Leaving?

"Hey A!" Mello yelled, suddenly engulfed with anger. A didn't answer. "A! What about your compulsive lying disorder?! Huh?! How did you become better?! What did you do, A?! How did you get out?!"

L and Light stopped, the ball bouncing slowly by L on the court. Near looked to Mello and Matt's eyes widened as he ran to the blond.

"Damn it! It's not fair! Your still sick! Your wrong! It's not fair! It's no-" Mello was cut off when the sight of B caught his eyes. His mouth widened before he felt his legs moving down the hill.

Matt finally caught up to Mello and pushed him to the ground. He held back the screaming blond as he looked at the car.

Red eyes looked from inside the car before it drove away.

"It's not fair!"

[Someone crazier than you got to go home. Maybe my time will be soon...]

A is really gone... But who was that with him? He looked an awful lot like...

[L.]

Yeah... L.
