((Author's Note)) Chapter five is now here! I hope you enjoy the chapter, and please review.

Edit: The dream is different as well as some minor narration changes.

Chapter 5

I don't know when, but as I was laying in the trunk of that limo, the Jet Lag caught up to me and I fell asleep.

"I promised Mom I would never commit suicide," she told me the fourth day I had been there, "so I want you to kill me."

I shook my head in protest as she shoved a bottle of pills into my hands.

"Please," she begged. "You're the only one who can do this."

When I opened my eyes, I found myself covered with a blanket. My beanie wasn't on my head anymore, and I was curled up in a ball on a soft bed.

Surprised, I shot up and looked around, my ears and tail up straight in an alert matter. I was in a dark hotel room, the window curtain was shut, leaving only a sliver of light from the city lights shining on the opposite wall. How did I get here? I wondered, remembering the fact I was in the trunk of L's limo.

"I see you're now awake..." I turned to the doorway to see a dim light coming through and showing the silhouette of a man hunched over and staring at me through a curtain of dark hair with slightly narrowed eyes. It was L...and he wasn't happy.

My ears dropped in embarassment. "Hi," I said, my face heating up in shame.

His facial features never changed as he nodded his head in a beckoning way. I slowly stood up from the bed and walked toward him with my head down, and my tail slightly between my legs. I would never admit it to anyone, but since I've seen that look before, albeit a different face, it scared the living shit out of me.

The other room was as dark as the bedroom, but there wasn't any windows. Instead, the light came from a grey laptop in the corner of the room. Looking closer, I realized it was my laptop.

Before I could say anything, he sat down on the floor in a simmilar way that Near does and gives me a look that told me to do the same. I do so slowly, pulling my cards out of my pocket and shuffling them in my hands, waiting for him to demand why I didn't do as he said and stay at Wammy's where he would send me the reports along with Mello and Near.

Instead, he pulled my laptop over and put it in front of me. "Here is a list of Kira's past victims. I've discovered each one of them had their names and pictures brodcasted on the News prior to their death, therefore I deduced that Kira needs a name and a face to kill." I was confused...wasn't he going to scold me? "What are your thoughts on this?" he asked. Guess not...not now, anyway.

I looked through the information displayed on the monitor which consisted the names and faces of the victims, as well as the date they were brodcasted and the time of death. Nothing seemed relevant to me until I took a closer look at the time the deaths took place.

I immediately opened a new window and wrote down each of the dates in chronological order. I then grouped the dates in a few different orders before showing it to L.

"From what I saw through this information, I would guess that Kira is a student," I explained to him. "If you notice, the times of each death are less abundant during the hours one would be in school, and more extensive before 8 AM and after 4 PM as well as the weekends."

L looked through my work and nodded in agreement, stichking his thumb in his mouth in thought.

I returned to shuffling my cards as the room grew silent. Each one of them was custom made. The monsters were actually people or animals I've actually encountered, the spells were based off of things they have actually done as well as items they used to do it, and the traps consisted of tricks they pulled on other people. There was only one card that wasn't custom made. It was called Hell Hound and was the most prized card in my collection.

"Yugi," L said, getting my attention.

"Huh?" I asked, looking up from my cards.

"I am curious..." he said, he said as he typed on the computer until he showed me the screen, revealing my browsing history, "on why you followed me when I had requested that you stay at the orphanage. I would have originally deduced that you wanted to come due to the Kira case, although I'd have expected it from Mello. However, going through the browsing history on your computer, I believe I have discovered your true intentions."

"You want me to confirm your deduction?" I asked. L nodded. I took a deep breath.

"I'm trying to find out how I became," I gestured to my ears, "...this." L stared at me blankly as I continued. "That is why I was in the library that day. I had a breakdown the night before and it almost gave me a heart attack." L snorted at my choice of words. "Since then I had done some research that led me here."

Silence filled the room as L took in what I said. "So my deduction was correct," he said quietly. I shrugged. "However," I tensed at his slightly hardened tone, "I can't say I'm pleased that you came. But under the circumstances, I don't see it essential to send you back to England." I relaxed my shoulders until he spoke again. "So instead I'll have you work as my assistant when Watari is unavailable."

I saw no reason to argue so I nodded. I then yawned. "Can I go back to sleep?" I asked.

L nodded and said, "If you wish." I stood up from the floor and walked back toward the bedroom. "Before you fall asleep, I wish to ask you one more question..." I turned to look back, waiting for the question. "Could you explain why we found a gun in your possession?"

I blushed in embarassment. I almost forgot that I swiped Mello's pistol before climbing into the limo. "I borrowed it from Mello..." I muttered, "...Just in case I needed it."

"Do you know how to use it?" L asked.

"Yes...I learned in Los Angeles. I use to be called me Eagle Eye because of my almost perfect accuracy...before I became Yugi, that is." I then remembered the dream I had earlier. Not long after she asked me to kill her... I thought sadly. I then yawned again.

"You should rest, Yugi," L said. I nodded before entering the bedroom and crashed onto the bed. Not soon after I fell asleep...thinking of her. I'm so sorry, Quarter...

((Author's Note)) Oooooh, the plot thickens. I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing.

Next chapter, I plan on following the plot of the anime, but don't think we won't see less of Yugi's antics...after all, you still need to find out more about her past.

So until next time...
