Caged chapter 22

Ryuzaki, Light, Misa and Alison waited in the lobby with the task force. They were waiting on Watari, who had driven to the air port to get L's successors. Ryuzaki was sitting in his chair, in his usual crouch. Light was in the chair next to him. They were once again connected by the handcuffs. Ryuzaki took a doughnut, and took a bite.

Alison and Misa were sitting on the couches. Misa was reading a magazine, pointing out to Alison what she liked, what she thought she'd suit and what she thought Alison would suit. Alison, like Light, was just nodding along. She didn't have a big interest in fashion. As long as there were no clown suits involved –or really short dresses, for that matter- she was happy.

Matsuda was talking to Aisowa, and Aisowa was paying attention, he was occasionally punching Matsuda's arm if he said something stupid. Mogi was being his usual quiet self. Mr Yagami was typing on the computer next to Light's. They were paying attention to the Yotsuba group...but nothing seemed out of the order...at least not on the video cameras. On the charts, people were still dying in favour of Yotsuba.

The room was quiet, other than Matsuda's and Misa's laughing, and of course the occasional "ouch" from Matsuda.

There was a few clicking noises from outside the lobby, and some clicking noises of shoes. They were Watari's shoes. He must be back.

In about a minute, Watari entered the door, wearing his usual suit and black hat. He had the normal shiny black shoes on.

Coming in after him, was a tall, slim blonde boy. He was wearing leather, and was carrying a bar of chocolate, it had a bit bitten out of it. He appeared to be about fifteen.

In behind the blonde boy was a boy about the same age. He had reddish-brown hair. His appearance was strange. He was wearing goggles over his eyes, and a large body warmer. It was also quite furry. In his hands was a black PSP. He was playing it contently.

The last boy was smallest. He looked about thirteen. He was wearing all white, and he had bleach white hair. The child appeared as rather strange. He was holding a small toy robot.

Each of the boys were had one bag, and it was rather small.

Ryuzaki turned around on his chair, and got up, bringing Light with him. The two older boys burst into laughter when seeing the chain.

"L! You weren't lying!" the blonde one yelled.

The white hair kid rolled his eyes.

Ryuzaki sighed. "Everyone, this is Mello." Ryuzaki pointed to the blonde kid. He waved proudly. "Matt." He pointed to the red head. Ryuzaki smiled this time. "And Near."

"It's nice to meet you all." Near said.

"Don't I know you guys?" Alison said, standing up. She was talking to Matt and Mello, mainly Matt.

"Oh yeah. I bought a game off of you a couple of months ago!" Matt smiled to Alison.

"Why were you in Japan?" Alison asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because, it was zombie ninja attack five, and it wasn't coming out in Britain for another year. How could I wait!" Matt smiled. Mello rolled his eyes this time.

"Hey...'Ryuzaki'. Is that the girl?" Mello pointed to Alison. Ryuzaki nodded. "Sweet! Nice one Ryuzaki!" Mello smiled, putting his hand up to high five Ryuzaki. Ryuzaki gently hit his hand, not looking very interested.

Near was focussing on his toy, spinning the arms around, and watching it light up. He seemed pretty entertained.

"Near." Ryuzaki said. "Is Trail feeling okay?"

Near hung his head. "No."

"Yeah. She hugged us good bye and went to her room. I think we should call her." Matt suggested.

Near rummaged through his bag, and took out a white laptop. He took it to the coffee table where Misa was sitting. Misa glared at what he was wearing. She seemed insulted that someone would stand in front of her wearing that.*

He pressed a few buttons and turned the computer to face Ryuzaki.

"Hello?" the computerized voice said. "Near!" it was Trail.

"Hello, Trail. Are you okay?" Ryuzaki asked.

"L! I'm okay...I guess." There was disappointment in her voice.

"We're sorry you couldn't come." Mello said apologetically.

Trail sighed. "It's 'kay, guys. I have no right to stop you from investigating. Just call me if you need help." She told them. "And, if Kira is still in this room please don't kill Near, Mello or Matt either. I'll be pissed."

"Language." Alison said.

There was silence. "I apologize."

"What age are you anyway?" Matsuda asked, and received a punch on the arm. "Ouch."

"I'm eleven years of age." Trail told them. "So I understand that language is inappropriate." She sniggered. There was a call in the back ground, and Trail sighed. "I have to go, Roger's calling me..."

"We'll call you later." Matt said.

"I'll be waiting." Trail said, a small smile in her voice. "Bye L, bye Near, bye Mello, bye Matt...bye Kira. Happy hunting."

On the screen, there was a sign that said disconnected, and Near closed his laptop, and sighed.

A/N: This was long =]

*I love Near, I love everything about him, I was just thinking through Misa's eyes...or mind... :P

Well, this is one of the last chapters. I think I'll put up another two or three.

Lol at Trail. "HAPPY HUNTING, BRAVE SOLDIERS!"
