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.
