Act 6
L came back from the other room dragging a disordered Light behind him. He stopped at the sight of the two blonds sitting and laughing on the bed. His eyes didn’t change as a smirk splayed on his thin pale lips. He cleared his throat causing the two to glance his way. “I don’t think that this is very appropriate behavior for two children who have just meet, am I right?” He said turning to the exhausted brunet.
“I don’t see what the harm is, L.” He said rubbing his temples and looking over the scene.
“Clearly the night has killed your senses, Light. For I see an overly compromising position myself.” L stated
Mello looked around himself and jumped off the bed suddenly when he saw how close his hand was to the girls thigh. A heavy blush covered his face and he marched/stomped out of the room yelling “PERVERTED PANDA! I DIDN’T EVEN KNOWTIS THAT!”
L chuckled deep in his throat and pulling Light with him he moved to the door. “Good night, my ladies” he said addressing the two remaining girls “I’m off and I’m sure your friend will be back soon enough. Don’t worry about her, Matt’s very docile.” He started to close the doors then stopped and popped his head back in "By the way I’ll ask for immediate lights out since I’d rather Near to sleep with out interruption. Thank you.”
When the door shut both girl looked at each other. “Well.” Marge sighed “I’m going to bed I guess.” With that she jumped under the covers and lay still. She had a horrible weakness for children and would ACTUALLY listen if meant they were involved. Not to meantion it WAS for the hottie raven man! Hehe!
“I’ll wait up for Tsuki then.” Kara said sitting down and running a comb through her short hair.
About an hour later Tsuki came back still playing on her DS. She said flopping down on her bed. “WE wer’e tolled t’ go t’ bed by some jerk in de café.” She mumbled obviously taking her anger out on the suddenly defenseless N.P. characters.
“Hahaha! Sucks for you, huh? Should of stayed anyway.” The tanned girl said just sitting by the window when the light went out. How long she was there she didn’t know but she started when a shadow was suddenly cast over their window.
“Wha-?” she whispered pulling away from the frame to watch what the figure did. She could hear hushed whispers. Eaten with natural curiosity she peaked through the curtain to see Mello balanced on the railing talking with Matt. It looked like the blond was leaving or something, she pressed closer to try to see if she was right.
“L’s gonna kill you, you know.” The red head said blowing a wisp of smoke out into the warm sea air.
“Shut up.” Mello muttered with distaste. “Besides, it’s not like I’m going out by myself.”
“Oh?” Matt said “And who is the unfortunate person to be dragged into your plot?”
“That cute girl from next door of course.” Mello stated sitting up proud.
The red head hung his head to stifle his laughing “You’re an ass, man.” He blurted “What makes you thing that she’s gonna trust YOU enough to stalk the streets and get killed for it later?” he ignored the deep frown his friend was sending him and continued. “How would you ask her? Would you play it up like a date? Remember she is a girl. And a stranger still at the same time.”
“How was YOUR date with Tsuki, Matt?” Mello said moving closer so the gamer couldn’t leave his range of vision.
Matt stared for a moment then turned away waving. Mello returned a not to kind gesture before he carefully stood and hopped to the girl’s window. He took out some chocolate to help him think and calm his nerves. Why did he so want this!? It was stupid, but great all in one. He shook his head while turning to toss his trash. He turned to the window and doing one more check over of himself softly tapped.
Kara had stepped away some when the teen had appeared in the frame. She didn’t want him thinking she had been up this whole time. Which she had been but hey why should he know? Right? He didn’t need to know he was already found out by the very person he came to see? Right? Right!
She heard the tapping and froze. She walked over to the window betraying no emotions and calmly opened it to see the boy looking like he was going to do it again.
“Oh?” he said with his Cheshire cat smile “Did you like what you heard?” He sat on the sill and watched her eyes almost open more a fraction.
Remembering what she had been taught about lying she opted to just ask her own. “Well then we’re we going?” She felt her insides churn at the idea of being caught she should have just left them alone. Maybe.....
“It’s o.k.” He said pulling her onto the window and helping her climb down using the jutting sides for support. “And I’m taking you to a coffee shop down the road. We can talk and not be stopped by parties left not mentioned.” He snickered as they reached the bottom. “Come on.” He said pulling her along.
“Trust me.” She said rolling her eyes “With the grip you have on my hand I couldn’t go anywhere if I wanted.” She watched his face heat up but he just squeezed harder. ‘Not that I would go anywhere.’ She smiled to herself.
“Yeah well, don’t try.” He stated pulling her into the coffee joint “because I didn’t just risk missing my mocha coffee to be rejected or tattled on.”
“And so you threaten the unfortunate gamer.” Eyes meat at that then they both chuckled and Mello shook his shaggy head.
“Guess I owe him more then I’ll ever admit.” He picked at the dust on the table “What will you have anyway?”
“The same.” Kara said as though it was the most obvious thing on earth.
This got her a grin from the other who got up and placed their order. They waited in silence. The order was called and two very satisfied teens sat in comfort while simple talk was exchanged and mochas were critiqued. They stayed till the shop closed at 1 am and quietly made their way back to their individual rooms. Sending each other a smile and a wave. The game couldn’t get better then this.
Until the others woke up and then the night was spent teasing and fitting till dawn.
Act 5
While the two chocoholics discussed their stuff, Tsuki crossed the threshold and to try to get the red head to start a conversation with her. It might be hard seeing as how the guy was in a total trance it seemed. But, she was determined. So, she tied back her long hair into one braid and pause their quest. Evil. Yes, very evil of her.
When his character sat down in the ‘status’ mode Matt looked up to be eye level with his gaming partner. “Ummmmm…..” he started feeling odd “Why did you stop the quest? Do you wanna stop?”
“I waz jus’ tryn’ to get your attention.” She said plopping down on the bed next to him. “Thought maybe we could talk or somethin’.”
Matt suddenly swung off the bed causing the whole frame to creak and bounce around. “Alright.” He said smiling at her and offering her his hand “Wanna get some soda or somethin’?
She wrinkled her nose at the word ‘soda’ “Yeach!” she exclaimed “Naw thanks to soda, but, if the’ got somethin’ better that’s coo.”
“Coffee?” He said baffled. Eyes widened when she shook a firm no. “Tea?” A no again. “What kind of girl are you!?” He said glancing around the room as if for help.
“A smart one thanks.” She said coolly hopping off the bed and dragging him to the door.
Light suddenly appeared in the door way to the next room. “L wants to know where you are going.”
“To the lobby te get somethin’ to drink.” Tsuki answered for the stumbling gamer. She was obviously in control here. Hehehehehehe!!!!!!
Light passed on the news and then left them nodding. Matt by this time was ready to go and pulled the door open. He let the girl go first and then shut it.
“Gezz.” He mumbled as they walked down stairs. “Gotta know every little damn move we make! Not like we’re ditchen’ to go rent a room or nothing!”
Both pairs of green eyes popped at Matt’s out burst.
“Pft! Wa-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”
The whole lobby went stone quiet as the two red heads passed through. Someone was ignored when they heard the comment ‘dumb kids’ pass by.
Matt stopped her before they could actually enter the dinning area. He smiled and held out his stripped arm for her. “It is supposed to be a formal place.”
Tsuki couldn’t believe her luck! She smiled and took the offer. People glanced and whispered at the two teenagers. Some where smiling others frowned.
‘Who cares.’ She thought as she glared back at some snob. ‘None of their business anyhoo! We should crash their fun with dirty notes or sabotage-’
“Here we go.” Matt said halting the plots. “We can sit here and drink and talk….”
Tsuki noticed they were on the balcony. She felt strangely warm. Not hot, but happy with their new found friendship. It felt nice.
“Sit!” came Matt’s happy chirp as he held a chair out for her. The rest of the time was spent trying assorted fruity drink and talking all about game stuff and trading items over their consoles. It was cute to almost anyone who passed.
Or as Mello called it later, “The nerd’s love.”
Act 4
The ride on the bus had been quiet. L forced all the boys in the back and girls in the front. To keep the previous threats from the boys as just that. He and Light had sat in the center keeping Near with them and rubbing ice on his boiling skin. Quiet whispers had broken through the back at one point and the chuckling that followed caused all to look at the boys like they were insane. But, other then that each group kept to themselves.
“Whoa!” Tsuki said when the bus dropped them off at a high class hotel. “Hey! Hey!?” She shouted at the other red head who turned and looked at her with all to much interest.
“Yes?” He said mock bowing in her direction and then pulling out a red DS. “Can I help you, Mam’?”
Tsuki scooted closer to who she had already claimed. But, also to see what he was playing. “Ummm... Why are we stoppin’ in frona’ this rich place?” She pulled out her own DS and turned it on. “Open your portal, Man. I’ll join your quest.”
“You play “Cornea Wars”?” Matt hummed “Oh. And we’re stopping here to crash and care for Near.”
“Th’ little pail kid?” Tsuki said loading her character into the others world. “O’ course I play “Cornea Wars” Don’ go anywhere with out the DS.”
Matt watched her character expecting some low level he’d have to care for, but, was surprised. ‘This chicks gotta level 65 flame thrower!? Damn….. It’s as cute as here…’
“Ellooooo.” A hand waved infront of his eyes “Earth to the Goggle boy.”
Matt turned away from her to hide the slight color that covered his cheeks. “Names, Matt, Chick.”
“Tsuki.” She said but couldn’t say more once the caramel guy called every one to attention. Both her and Matt paused their quest and slumped back so Light wouldn’t scream at them about ‘not listening’.
“All children from Whammy’s and us will be staying here.” He ignored the frown shot at him by the crazy blond hurricane standing a little ways away. “As for you girls, you may go back to where ever you came from. Good night.”
“Wait a sec.” Kara called out “Why don’t we stay and talk or something?”
“I agree.” L said with a smirk “we may as well get to know our stalkers. Or rightly their stalkers.” He said thumbing toward the boys.
“Yeah!” Mar called from where she was hiding in the group. “If we know each other, you boys can’t call us stalker. And we can hang out more, maybe change a few things.” Her green eyes blazed as she stared down a very confused Light.
“Alright then.” L walked into the expansive place and reserved three rooms. “If everyone will take their things we can get out of the general public.” L stated leading Near to the elevator. The others grabbed the stuff and began up the stairs. When they all meet again L handed them their rooms’ keys. Matt and Mello got one room. The girls got the one next to theirs. And L, Light and Near had the last one. “All the rooms are connected, but after midnight, everyone must be in their own rooms.”
“Right.” The others said together.
“This is huge!” Mar stated earning a laugh from the other people present. She turned to the open rooms before theirs. “Hey unfortunate guy on the chain.!” She called out. Her gaze hardened when Light poked his head around. “NOT YOU!” She shouted and dully noted the howls of laughter of the younger men “I MEAN THE REAL UNFORTUNATE, YOU PERVERT!”
Mello shouted and Matt nearly died in his game because of he hit the floor butt first. “This is fricken’ awesome!” Matt shouted “Absolutely perfect!”
L appeared in the doorway, and to Mar’s surprise, NOT chained to the pervert. “Yes?” he said walking forward and stopped right in front of her.
“U-umm.” She stuttered as the raven entered her space bubble. “I-I was wondering who y’all are and where you come from?”
“Well. You come from the states.” L stated and watched all the newcomer’s eyes pop. “As for us, we come from various places but live here.” He motioned for the other to gather. “I am Ryuzaki. No real back ground worth mentioning.”
“Mello.” The two blonds looked at each other and then glanced away. “I’m German.”
“Matt.” A gloved hand was raised from his position. “Italian/American heritage.”
“I’m Near” the burnt child stated bluntly “It is believed that I am from Thailand. Though that is unconfirmed.” He twirled a curl and looked back at the ground.
“I’m Light Yagami, from Japan.” He called from the other room seeing as how L chained him to the bed to keep him still.
“Your turn.” L said laying a out hand to the girls.
“I’m Kara Elerick.” She looked at all of them wondering why they only had single names. “And I’m from Florida.”
“Sweet.” Light said from wherever he was.
“Names Matt Tsuki.” The girl with long red braids stated boldly. “And I’m from Canada.”
“Really?” The other Matt said. “Get snow?”
“Hell Yeahz!” She said slashing an enemy from hitting the other preoccupied character.
“And I’m Mar Orlander.” The last girl said from the door way. “I come from Texas.”
“I thought so.” L said. “Well now that we all know each other I think we should go about our business.” He hustled the tiny albino back into the room saying something about taking his temperature.
Mello marched right into the girl’s room and plunked down on the bed with Kara. “Florida, huh?” He said pulling out a chocolate bar and broke it in half offering one to her. He like her already he thought. ‘She looks pretty cool.’
Kara was pretty as well as cool. She was thin, but fit. Her skin was lightly sun kissed from the early surf season and lovely soft blond hair stopped just three inches from her shoulder. She wore surf shorts and a tank. ‘Not showy.’ Mello smirked at her. It seemed as though she was looking at him too. But he wouldn’t say anything. Yet. From previous experience she seemed to have a short temper. ‘Finally someone more likely to understand my temper problem.’ He turned and faced her and she just looked at his face.
“You don’t have to look at me.” He said turning away. “You don’t have to see my face.”
“You looked at me first.” She retorted like a whip.
‘Yes.’ Mello thought ‘I will definitely like this girl.’ He turned back “Your crazy.”
“Not as much as you.” She said with a confident look on her face. “Lets see. Mello. German. What about your age?”
“Right. Yes. And eighteen.” He said smirking, why did he want to laugh!? “And yourself? Miss. Elerick of the awesome place of Florida?”
“I’m sixteen.” She said with a small laugh of her own biting into her chocolate chunk
Seeing that did it. They both started laughing very hard. Eventually starting a topic on hobbies and favorite things in that category.
Act 3
The silence was earsplitting. Light started to chuckle as the three boys suddenly shot up trying to avoid ‘telling’ on each other. L just stood there listening to their pathetic attempts to tell him who started it and what had happened in general.
“See, Matt-” Mello said gesturing to the red head with his thumb.
“See Matt nothing you baby!” Matt shouted “This pansy wanted to dump sand!”
“It was both of your's idea.” Near said trying his best to look and act as innocent as possible.
“YOU HELPED, PANSY!!!!” Both teens yelled at the tiny albino.
“Enough.” L tried but ended up putting a finger on his forehead as the boy’s continued to scream and shout things into the air.
Light finally could see that L was having about enough when clods of thick sea mud smacked him on the neck, back of the head and shoulder. All talking stopped and heads turned to stare open and unashamed at the now splattered man.
“RUN!” Matt shouted as more mud clods flew at them one hitting Mello with a heavy Splat. Matt was going to laugh but one hit him in the mouth! Near was hit in the back and finally two were planted on L’s thin stomach. He motioned for them all to retreat behind the same sand hill they had caught the boys behind.
“Got a plan?” Light said he was trying his hardest to stay away from the crazy whoever’s that had invaded their beach day. “This is vandalism! And trespassing on private property!” Light rubbed at Near’s back but the mud would require water to be un-stuck.
“This is true” L said poking at his white T-shirt. “But, we can’t be sure till we get a confession from the three instigators.”
Finally they got the whole story.
“And why didn’t you just come tell us?” L scolded with his sternest look. “If you knew the beach had been trespassed on you should have gotten me. I would have been more then happy to get ride of the flirty girls.”
“Well.” Near said twirling his hair, “Mello wanted them for something gross.”
“That’s a lie!” Mello said pulling Near’s arm in a vice grip.
“No it’s not.” Matt chimed in until a fist hit him square in the jaw. “Damn, Mello!” he shouted reaching behind him to grab some sand but Light stopped him.
“This is all you boy’s fault.” He said sternly “Now what are you going to do to fix it?”
The pause was meet with three grins. “Fight back of course.” Near stated as though it was obvious, “These girls wish for revenge on us for the sand. So, why not retaliate with them. Mud against mud, I say.”
A smirk plaid L’s thin lips. “I believe that is the right thing to do.” He said getting up and peeking around the dune. “It appears that from where these mud balls came from is that hill over there. Shall we test this theory before we open charge and attack them full on. No doubt they will be caught off guard and surprised.”
Mello shot his hand up. “I wanna be the tester!” he seamed very eager to go out. Go figure. Mello loved to fight whether in play or reality. Before they could agree or oppose he ran out in the open and shouted “HEY TRESSPASSERS! IF YOU WANNA FIGHT WE’RE READY FOR YA’!” Immediately mud came flying from the hill L had pointed out, but instead of running back Mello dashed to the bank and jumped into the water.
“Well. That’s one way to get a clean get away.” Matt snickered. Soon all the boy’s were running and diving into the water even L and Light. Who dived in with great synchronization being chained together. They came up soon and joined the others in tossing heaps of mud at the girls that they could now see clearly in their fort. Passerby’s thought the small area had become world war three with the noise that flew out. Screams, shouts and various curses riddled the air while sand was tossed with the padding and stomps of feet. Beware any creatures that came up on the beach as the morning became afternoon.
Finally a truce was called from Near, who was now covered from head to foot with a bad burn. They had forgotten to screen him in the fun of the war.
“A’ right, Gals!” Tsuki called halting the two blonds from stuffing mud down each others throats. “This little guy’s gotta be taken care of! How’s about we call it quits wif ‘em and resume at some later time?”
The group looked at each other and agreed. L picked Near up and motioned for others to follow them. Mar lagged as the other started for the hill. The other two stopped and waited for her to catch up. “What’s wrong?” Kara said brushing her hair out of her face. The wind insisted for it to be blown over her head. Stupid elements.
“The hot guy with the black hair’s got a guy chained to him.” She said flopping her head to the side. “It’s depressing for me to watch that hotty go for that snob.”
Matt and Mello’s heads shot around at that. “She thinks-” Mello said trying to stop himself from dying laughing. Matt fell over and held his sides as he chuckled at the thought of L and Light! Oh they could have fun with that!
Act 2
The boy’s had been playing for a while. When Matt started to not pay attention to the game. He kept getting nervous and fidgeting the ball when he had it. Finally when Near had to go get on more block he pulled Mello over to him.
“This is the Whammy’s private beach right?” He said pulling Mello closer to him and whispering into his ear.
“Yeah.” The blond said cocking an eye brow at the red head.
“Well. Theres some girl that keep watching us from over the wall.” He said. “I didn’t want to say anything around Near and get him angry or something.” Matt said glancing back at the three men who were talking.
“Are they still there?” Mello said. He sounded at little too eager. He was standing still as a statue and that meant trouble for poor Matt.
“I think so.” Matt sighed. “I don’t know what you’re thinking Mello, but I don’t want any part of it.
“Oh. Yes you will when I get us some hot babies!” Mello said walking out of the water. “I’ll be back. You can stay here.”
“Wait! I’ll come!” Matt said tearing after the now running blond.
L looked up from oiling Near to watch the two boys run behind a ledge. “I believe they have left you to find them.” He said glancing at Light, who was also as curios about the boys escape.
“If you would unchain me I could go see.” The caramel bodied man said. Light had finally taken off his own shirt. Tennis training and numerous other sports had pumped this human into a god like statue. Such as the kind you see in museums and exhibits, only softened with his modern textures. Soft carefully cut hair blew in the open, salty air.
“No, Light-kun. I can not trust you to be out of my sight for a moment.” L said shooing Near to go after the other two.
“What? You think I’ve got a hidden Kira thing on the beach some where?” Light slapped himself in the face when he saw the look the panda like man gave him. He would never prove his innocents to the crazy detective. He would be doomed for ever to be look like some freak couple chained together. The thought sent waves of nausea threw his system.
Slightly out of breath, Near finally caught up to the other two boy. They glanced at him as he came up and put their fingers to their lips to sign for silence. He stood with them and perked his head at the sound of soft whispering voices around the bend. He shot a small glare at Mello and Matt, who rolled their eyes and tugged him away from the bank.
“There are three girls standing there talking about us.” Mello said rubbing his hands together. “Me and Matt were just trying to come up with a plan to ambush them.” He grinned broadly in a Cheshire cat style “Maybe even take them hostage.”
Matt started to chuckle and grinned with his blond friend. “What would we do with them, Mells?” If he could grin any more he would. “I would prefer-”
“That you two STOP this foolish behavior and we go get L to chase them off.” Near said crossing his arms together and cocking his hip. The epitome of cuteness!
“Come on, Near” Matt said holding the small boy by his shoulders. “This could be really fun!” An idea hit him when Near sighed “If you help us with this I’ll spare smoking in the hotel room while we’re on vacation.”
The white curls flew about as Near turned his huge eyes up at Matt. “You promise?”
“Cross~my~heart~hope~to~die!” Matt sing songed emphasizing his sincerity by making the said actions.
“And I’ll make sure he does!” Mello chimed in pretending to put a gun to the red top.
“Fine.” Near said “Whats the plan?” He started twirling a lock of his snow white hair in his fingers. “They are girls. Shouldn’t be easy to scare really.” A cocky smile found its way to the thin lips.
“First we have to get above them.” Matt said drawing the chart in the sand.
“Then we take said substance” Mello finished scooping up a handful of the fine dust “and very slowly and softly sift it on them. I like it going down the back myself.” Mello said nodding his approval.
“Well?” both heads turned to the tiny albino, who looked as though they should have more to say. “After we dump the sand then what?”
“We let nature take it’s course.” Mello said receiving a vigorous nod from Matt. “We’ll get to that after the first step. You don’t rush art, Near.”
“Fine then.” Near said standing up and scooping as much of the sand as he could in his hands. The others could only stare as he started to walk away. They had never seen him act like this. It was kinda fun for them as they joined him, also armed with their own sand bombs.
They crept around and made careful steps up the hill till they again heard the voices. They lay on their stomachs and Near scooted enough to see where they were. He gestured the other forward and motioned for them to look. Mello and Matt looked at each other and finally moved up with him.
Bellow them Three girls sat. It was hard to tell ages yet, but then maybe their voices gave that. Mello strained his ears to hear them.
“That was dirty, Tsuki.” A girl with shoulder length strawberry blond hair said nudging the girl next to her.
“S’not.” The girl Tsuki retorted pushing the girl, causing a chain reaction that sent the last girl into the sand.
“Cut it out!” The pail blond, who had hit the ground, hissed. “If you two give us away I’ll punch your lives out!” She turned back to watching the beach.
“Are they back yet, Kara ?” The girls asked. “Yeah, man.” Tsuki said “Watching that red head dude is wayyy funna then sittin’ at home.”
Mello glanced back at the others and slowly slipped some sand onto the blond girl’s back just stopping at her rear end. She sharply turned to the other two. Who actually back some away from her killer glare. “I. Said. Stop. It.”
“Dude!” Tsuki said holding up her hands, he long red braids coming loose and flapping behind her. “Chill! We’ve been too busy looking for the hotties to touch you!”
“Yeah.” The last girl said. “Don’t kill us. Theres sand all over the place damnit.”
“Fine.” The girl said then turned to the older girl. “You come up top for a while, Mar. I gotta get some of this crap off me.”
As they shifted places the boy put all hands over the side and dumped their contents. Gasps came from below as the girls got doused in the slippery sand. Followed by a “What the Hell!?” From Mar. The boys slid down their side of the hill holding back hysterics as they continued listening to the girls cursing and scrambling about.
“T-that was great!” Near sighed out laying flat in the sand. The others nodded finally letting out a ripping chorus of laughter. Their prank had worked! It couldn’t get any better than that! Their stalkers would have to come out! And then they could go to plan B: Steal the hostages for fun time!
“What worked out so well?”
The boys turned to find both Light and L looking at them like they were cats killing canaries. They were sunk and they knew it.
