Chapter 19 - The Search for L's Succesors
Chanel stretched her limbs and yawned. "It took me all night but I finally found the correct file, and found six canadates to take on the role as the succesors of L", Chanel thought. "Now all there is to do now is show the records of these kids to Zaki." Chanel picked up her laptop and got off her bed. She opened the door to her room and proceeded to Ryuuzaki's. Once she was on the floor where the rest of the rooms were she noticed that there wasn't anyone around. "Is everyone still asleep", she thought. Then she took a look at the clock on the wall and saw that it was eight o' clock in the morning. "Nope, they're all at breakfeast." Then Chanel's stomach grumbled. "Oh man I forgot to eat dinner last night, I was so busy. Watari even reminded me. I better hurry up and show these files to Zaki so I can go and eat something." Chanel quickly made it to Ryuuzaki's room.
She knocked on the door once and let herself in. Then she closed the door behind her. "Good Morning, Chanel", Ryuuzaki said not looking up from the computer. "Good Morning, Zaki. I found some children that would best qualify as your succesors. There the best in the whole house. I have a copy a all they're records on my laptop. Here I can show you." Then Chanel opened up her laptop, and went to where the files were. "You know Chanel you didn't have to find them all last night", Ryuuzaki said turning away from his computer to look at her. Chanel turned her head slowly towards him. "You mean I could've eaten dinner last night", Chanel said with a weary look on her face. "You skipped dinner. You've must've been very busy", Ryuuzaki said placing his thumb on his lower lip. "Yeah, I was. Well at least I still have breakfeast to look foward to", Chanel said with a sigh. "Well breakfeast should be over very soon, and you know the cooks don't let anyone in the kitchen after breakfeast", Ryuuzaki pointed out. "So now I have to wait until lunch", Chanel cried. Right then her stomach grumbled loudly. Chanel's face turned red.
Then Ryuuzaki grabbed his piece of cake and offered it to her. "Hear eat this." "Thank you", she said taking the cake. "So do you have the files ready?" "Yeah there right hear", Chanel said through bites of cake. "Good. Now please hand me the laptop." Chanel put the plate of cake down on Ryuuzaki's bed and handed him the laptop. Then she sat down on his bed and continued to eat her cake. Ryuuzaki scrolled through the files. "Adrain, age 15", Ryuuzaki mumbled. "Yup he's the smartest in the whole house. You can see all his grades in the file", Chanel said even though she was fully aware that Ryuuzaki wasn't talking to her. "Chanel, would you care to explain why you decided to choose Beyond Birthday as a canadate." "Oh, well that's very simple", Chanel said putting the empty plate of cake down on the end table next to Ryuuzaki's bed.
"Beyond Birthday is second to Adrain. His grades are just as good. Also don't you remember that day when we were younger and teacher wanted to know our future goals in life. Beyond said that he wanted to be a detective. I know he's bit diranged bit he's the second best canadate there is. Hopefully he'll cooperate." "Yes", was all Ryuuzaki said. Though he mentally smiled. "Hmm. Collin, age 13. Alright. Nate River, age 4.." Then Ryuuzaki looked over to Chanel. "Don't even look at me that way. He may 4 but he the next smartest after Collin. Same thing for Miheal Kheal and Mail Jeevas. You said that you wanted the best of the Whammy house, well those three young ones are of the best. So there." "Alright", Ryuuzaki said closing the laptop. "So anyway Zaki why did you want me to find your succesors? It was a test, right?" "You are correct it was a test." Then Ryuuzaki turned back to his computer. "..So did I pass this test of yours?" "I don't see why it's of any importance to you", Ryuuzaki said typing away at the computer.
"Forget it", Chanel said falling back on the bed. "Chanel I now want you to bring all the chidren to me. I'm going to meet me them in person. Be sure to mention that it will be thier choice to come and so if they do choose to come there will be no out of becoming my succesors. Do you understand?" Chanel yawned. "Yeah I understand", Chanel said sleepily. "I'll get on it right away." "You may rest first if you wish", Ryuuzaki offered. "No I'd better get on it right away." Then Chanel got up off Ryuuzaki's bed, and stretched. "So what time should I bring them to you, and do you really think it's good for them to actually see your face. I mean do you think you could actually trust them?" "Possibly, though the question at hand is if they could trust me." Ryuuzaki put his thumb to his bottom lip, and tilted his head. Then he seemed to go off in a bit of thought.
"Well I guess your right. So I'm off now." "Chanel make sure to bring them to the quiet room at four o' clock exactly. "You want me to pursuade all of them..by four o' clock", Chanel said with a destressed look on her face. "Yes that's right", Ryuuzaki said in his usual monotone. "I'm not miracle worker, you know. I'll try my best though." With a sigh Chanel left Ryuuzaki's room. "So were am I going to look first?" Then Chanel turned her head and saw her old room. She walked over and knocked on the door. Then the same girl anwsered. "Huh? You again? What do you want", the girl said. "I'm sure you know a boy about 15 his name is A -", Chanel cut herself off. "Oh that's I forgot everyone only knows eachother in the Whammy House by alliases. What was Adrains alias again", Chanel thought. "You mean A that plain looking kid who always hangs out with Beyond", the girl asked. "That's right his alias was A", Chanel thought. "You mean A and Beyond hang out with each other", Chanel asked. "Almost always. Though I suggest if you want to speak A you might want to do it when Beyond isn't around. He's a real physcopath."
"Oh I'm not afraid Bb", Chanel said. "Yeah that's what you say now, but wait 'till you meet him", the girl said. "I've already met him and completely know what he's capable of. Thanks for the warning though. Also I was wondering if you knew a boy he goes by the name...", Chanel trailed off. "Oh man I forgot Collin's alias. Did he even have an alais. Oh, this is what I get for not getting any rest", Chanel thought. "Uh, hellooo? Anyone there", the girl asked waving a hand in front of Chanel's face. "Huh? Oh, sorry I kinda forgot his name. Uh maybe I can describe him to you. Will that be okay?" "Sure as long as you promise to leave me alone after this", the girl bargained. "Yeah sure alright. He has dirty blond hair and green eyes. He's not realy pale but he doesn't have a tan either. Uh, also -" "Hey do you mean Collin", the girl interupted. "Yeah", Chanel said. "Oh well he's kinda wierd. He hates using an alias and he's a major perv. If your gonna go near him I suggest protecting your backside at all costs. I had to learn that the hard way. Well I guess almost all the girl in the Whammy House did."
"Thank you. I'll watch out. Also thank you for the information." "No problem", the girl said then shut the door. "Oh man I forgot to ask her about Mello, Matt, and Near. Oh well I guess I can find them on my own. The real question here is where can I find the first three." Then Chanel looked out the window and saw Collin with two other kids. "Cool, there he is." Then Chanel ran down the hall and tried to get out of the house as quickly as possible. When she finally got outside she ran directly over to Collin. "Your Collin, right?" "Yeah..", he said. "Good. I really need to talk to you", Chanel said with a serious voice. "Sure", Collin said with a pervy smile. "Aw man that's so unfair Collin gets all the girls", one of the boys complained. "Yeah, that's our Collin for you", said the other.
Collin and Chanel walked over to where no one else could here. "So what is it", Collin said with that same look. "What's with that look", Chanel thought. "Well I work for a very important person. This person wishes to make you thier succesor,and so if you wish, and only on your terms, may you come to meet this person. So do agree to come." Collin raised an eyebrow. "What does this person do for living in order to want a succesor?" "All this will be explained to you when you meet. So do you agree?" "Will you be there", Collin said giving that pervy look of his and stepping closer to Chanel. "Yeah I will. Anyway the place is the quiet room exactly at four", Chanel said. "Is this guy hitting on me", Chanel thought. "Good, then I'll be there." "Okay", Chanel said then turned around. "See you there", Collin said then patted Chanel's bottom. Chanel's eyes flew open. Then she turned around and slapped Collin so hard she knocked him off his feet. "Your such a pervert! How dare you!" Then Chanel stormed off. "Hmm, I like the fiesty ones", Collin said loud enough for Chanel to hear it. "Ignore him, he's a perv. That girl was so right. Man I hope he doesn't come. Jerk." Then Chanel made her way back inside and afterwards seemed to forget about Collin.
She made her way up the stairs and when she came to the second floor she saw three little kids fighting. "Come on, Mello. Stop it", said the red head in an attempt to break up the fight. "Don't waste your breath Matt. Mello always seems to throw a temper tantrum everytime I get a higher grade than him on a test. He's never going to change", said a little albino boy in white pajamas. He was constantly twirling a curly strand of his hair. "You shut up! You think your that your better than me just because you always get the high score", shouted the blond child with hair up to his shoulders. "That must be Mello, Matt, and Near. I wonder what they're fighting about", Chanel thought then began to approach them. "No Mello. You think that. Which is why you constantly threaten me." "You shut up!" "That's enough!" Chanel got inbetween all of them. "Now you will tell me What your all fighting over." "Mind your business. It has nothing to do with you", Mello shouted. "It does now. You will tell me what is going on. "Mello is threatening me again just because I got the higher score on the test, again", Near said from where he was behind Chanel. "Is this true? Your fighting because of a test that's stupid", Chanel said. "That's not true! Near thinks he's better than me, and I'm not stupid!" "I never said that you were Mello. I said what your fighting about is stupid. Please stop this or I will have to get Mr. Whammy." "I'm not scared of anyone. Not Roger or Mr. Whammy", Mello said. Then Chanel bulged her eyes out, and put a serious look on her face. "Oh you'll be scared of Mr. Whammy. When he's mad it's not pretty. His voice becomes like thunder, and when he screams everything shakes. His punishments are much more worse that his thundery voice. So if I were you I would be scared of Mr. Whammy."
"..Fine I'll go, but I'm still not scared of Mr. Whammy." "Oh alright, but before you go I would like to speak to you about something", Chanel said. "What", Mello asked. "Well you've all been chosen to become the succesor of a great person. If you all agree to become his succesor you will have to come to the quiet room at four o' clock exactly. So do you all agree?" "How can we trust this person", Near said. "Well that's why they wish to meet you to gain your trust." "Well Matt and I are going", Mello said. "I will come aswell", Near said. "Good. The quiet room at four be sure to be there exactly there at four." Then Chanel walked off. She looked up and saw that the clock on the wall. It read ten to one. "Yes it's ten minutes to lunch", Chanel shouted out loud. Then she ran down the hall and turned the corner to the stairs.
As soon as she turned the corner she ran into someone. She and this person almost fell down the stairs. Though the person steadied both Chanel and himself by holding on to the handrail. Chanel was in so much shock that she kept herself slightly leaning onto him. "Chanel Tailor", said the guy next to them. Chanel backed away from him and slowly looked up. Who she saw was A. Next to him was Beyond. "You should watch where your going. You almost had me fall down the stairs", A yelled. "I'm so sorry", Chanel said. "Don't be so hard on her A she's always been this clumsy", said Beyond. Chanel glared at Bb. "Don't look at me like that Chanel. You know very well that you've ran into me to, once." "B you know her", A asked. "Yup. Her name is Chanel Tailor she used to live hear, until she left here three years ago", Beyond said. "So anyway Chanel where's 'Zaki'?" "It's non of your business beyond." "Oh well like I care", beyond said. "Anyway I'm glad I ran into you. I was sent by a very important person. They had sent me to tell you that they wish to make you both thier succesors, and they want to meet you. If you wish to come you will at the quiet room at exactly four o' clock. No later, but it's only if you want to come." A raised an eyebrow. "Who is this person", A asked. "You'll find out if you come." "I know who it is", Beyond said. "It's Ryuuzaki. Isn't it Chanel?" "Who", asked A. Beyond smied his signature smile to Chanel.
Chanel didn't say anything. Then she walked off to the dining area.

Chanel was lying under a tree. "It's such a beautiful day", Chanel thought. "I could just ly here all day.." Then a thought struck Chanel. "Oh my god! What time is it? I have to be at the quiet room before anyone else!" Chanel jumped up and ran inside. She ran up the stairs to the second floor. She ran as fast as she could to the quiet room. When she got there she saw A, Beyond, Mello, Matt, and Near walking out of the quiet room. When she reached them Beyond was displaying his horrible grin. "Your in trouble", Beyond cackled. Chanel looked at the clock and saw that it read a quarter to five. Chanel's eye twiched. "Chanel come in right now", Ryuuzaki commanded. Chanel tipped toed in. "I'm sorry Zaki I kinda lost track of time. I'm really sorry." "Chanel you do know that's not a very acceptable excuse. Though I suppose I can let it slide just this once."
Chanel sighed in relief. "So um, I didn't see Collin come out", Chanel said. "That's becuase he didn't come." "Oh", Chanel said, but she was really thinking; "Thank goodness. I hate stupid pervert!" "Chanel please sit down", Ryuuzaki said. Chanel sat down on the couch opposite to Ryuuzaki. "Now Chanel I'm making you one of my succesors. You will be after beyond." "Wait your making me your succesor? Why, am I taking Collin's place", Chanel asked. "No your not taking Collin's place. I honestly thought of you before you went out choosing succesors for me. I believe that you will be a good choice for my succesor. You will still be traveling with me. I have decided that your code nome is C as in Copy", Ryuuzaki said. "Copy", Chanel thought. "As in L's Copy? Should feel insulted?" "A's code name is Alternate. Beyond's Back -up. Mello, Matt, and Near's will not change", Ryuuzaki said.
"I see", Chanel said. "Though you do have a choice in becoming my succesor", Ryuuzaki said. "I'll become your succesor. Though I do feel a bit offended with my code name being Copy, but I'll take the name." "Good", Ryuuzaki said then took a bite of his cake. Then Chanel lied down on the couch. "So I'm Zaki's succesor. For some reason I feel like it was a demotion. Oh well, what can be done", Chanel thought. "Hey Zaki", Chanel said. Ryuuzaki looked up at her. "Don't think becuase I'm your succesor now that I'm not part of L, becuase I am. Your not going to treat me any different, got that." Chanel's face was serious. Ryuuzaki smiled at her. "I wouldn't think of it", he said.
Chanel smiled back at Ryuuzaki.
