(Wammy's, 1998)
"Pass it to me! Pass it to me!"
"Gah! Get back here Mello!!"
"As if! This isn't a game of tag you know!" a nine year old boy grinned as he kicked a ball toward a soccer goal. The goalie was unable to catch it. "Hah! Score!!"
"Aww man…" a boy sighed as he and his teammates admitted defeat.
"I told you you guys would lose. You guys are just waaaay too young." Mello laughed.
"Hey! A few of us are only one year younger! I'm the same age as you, you know Mello." Another boy stated.
"Whatever. My team still won, so where's our prize?" the blond asked.
The boy sighed. "Hold on. The sack of candy is in my room so-"
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Wammy's car?" someone yelled out as a black vehicle pulled over the drive way.
"No way!! Do you think Mr. Wammy is with L?"
Mello scoffed as he took out a chocolate bar out of his pocket. "I highly doubt that. Mr. Wammy never brings L with him. The only time when we can talk to L is through a computer."
"But what happened if L really is here? I wanna go see!"
"Hey! Wait-! What about the cand-"
The boy ignored Mello and ran to the front gate along with everyone else. He sighed.
(Switchy to 3rd person limited!(There WAS a difference last time! -)
Mello sighed as he watched Speedy and the rest of the team run towards the gate, hoping to meet the one and only L. If he was actually there.
It's not that Mello hated L, no. He's his hero, but no one but the adults has ever seen him, which makes Mello wonder if L even cares about the children at all. He never visits, and the only time he ever gets to speak to him is through a webcam on the computer, and that only happens every two months.
"Hey, are you sure you don't want to go there?" a voice asked the blonde. Mello turned and saw his best friend, Matt, walking toward him with a Gameboy Color in his hands. Mello scrunched his nose at the sight and sound of the console. 'God he's so addicted to that thing. He got it one month ago on the exact day it came out. Doesn't he ever get tired of it?!'
Mello shook the thoughts out of his head. "I don't want to. Mr. Wammy's probably here because of a new kid. It's pointless." He stated and walked towards the orphanage. Matt followed quietly behind him, and Mello can hear his game playing the Tetris theme song.
"Ah, Mello, Matt. How are you two today?" a kind old voice wondered behind the two. The boys turned to see Mr. Wammy, aka the founder of this orphanage. Mello spotted a small hand hanging out of his pant leg.
Mr. Wammy noticed this and smiled. "We're going to have a new child attending Wammy's. Would you like to greet her?"
"Why yes Mr. Wammy!" Matt grinned as he stepped forward to see the new person that will be living in the orphanage. Out of curiosity, Mello happened to do the same thing too. And he couldn't believe what he just saw.
Well, first off, the new person was a girl. She looked like she was a few years younger than Mello. 'She's probably the sheep's age.' Mello thought disgustingly, but continued to observe her.
She had long raven black hair that went down her waist, and it looked like she never combed it in weeks. Her clothes were all worn. She had a giant baggy t-shirt with a few stains here and there. The girl probably was living in the streets until Mr. Wammy found her.
Now, you might think that that doesn't sound so surprising. Well, to Mello it wasn't, since a few of the people in Wammy's also came in like that, like Mello himself. But what he found weird about her was her eye patch. Yeah. She was wearing one over her left eye.
"What's her name?" Matt asked as he looked at her. The small girl flinched and hid behind Mr. Wammy. Matt frowned as Mr. Wammy gave a soft chuckle and patted her head.
"Forgive her. She's very shy. You'll find out her name once we give it to her, so until then, we will see you later."
"See ya!" Matt smiled and waved them off.
"She was… weird." Mello mused as he and Matt were walking to their room. "What's with that eye patch?"
"She's not that weird. Maybe that girl has a problem with her eye or something." Matt said. "That might be the reason why she's so afraid of everyone. Do you think she was abused or something and got a scar on her eye?"
Mello shut the door behind him and turned on the T.V. "Doubt it. The girl doesn't really look like she was abused; only looks like a street kid." He kept pressing the up channel button, trying to find something to watch.
"Oh wait! Stop there!!" Matt yelled out. The blonde turned back one channel to see Ash Ketchum call out his Charizard, who then blew fire into his master's face and went to laze around on a rock. Matt laughed. Mello changed the channel. "Hey!!"
"I've already seen that episode. I want something different." The blonde stated.
"Aww!! But Mels!! It's Pokemon!"
"So? It's an old episode." He repeated and reached into his pocket to grab…a chocolate wrapper. His eyes widened. "I'm out of chocolate already?! Dang it!!"
"Ha! Serves you right- Oww!!!" Matt rubbed his arm after Mello threw the remote at him. "What was that for?!"
"Watch that stupid giant-lizard-dinosaur-thing with wings try to kill his immortal master with flamethrower! I need my sweets!" That's when he realized something. "Oh crud! I forgot to get the candy from Speedy!!" and with that, Mello rushed out the door.
Mello barged in through the 'S-2' labeled door, but the candy bearer(aka Speedy) was nowhere in sight. His roommate, Saga, however, was. "Saga! Have you seen Speedy? He owes me candy!"
Saga arose from his covers and yawned. Unlike Speedy, Saga was very lazy for a fourteen year old boy. He always takes naps every afternoon that usually last up to five hours. Even though he's a heavy sleeper, Saga can clearly hear you talking even if he's fully asleep. He says it's like 'his body is asleep but his mind isn't'.
"Speedy…?" Saga slurred as he tried to stay focus. "I think I heard him say that he was going to give his Halloween candy from last month to the team that won the soccer match down at the common room…" He yawned. "That is what he said, didn't he? How long have I been out?" he asked himself as he grabbed his small alarm clock.
"Crud! The chocolate might be all gone now!" Mello gritted and ran out. "Thanks Saga!!"
"..right.." Saga murmured and slammed his head onto his pillow, immediately falling back asleep.
"Speedy!!" Mello yelled. He saw the boy and a few others gathered all on the couch. When he got to him, Mello grabbed his shoulders. "Speedy! Where's the candy?!"
"I-I gave them all away." He stuttered, gesturing to all of the people around him. They all backed away, afraid that Mello might go on a chocolate rampage.
"Any chocolate?!"
"N-no! There barely any! Th-there was mostly lollipops and gummies!" Mello sighed, his grip loosening a little. "L-look! If it makes you feel any better, I could-"
"No… It's alright. You don't have to do anything." he mumbled and finally let go of him.
"A-are you sure?"
"Yeah. There probably wasn't that much chocolate to fight for anyway." Mello sighed, but then glared at him. He poked him hard on the chest. "But next time, don't give out the candy unless I'm there."
"R-right.." he mumbled as the blonde walked away from the area.
"Da-amn…" Mello tried to say as he was walking down a hallway. It was weird for him to say that word. He knew it's a bad word, but he heard some of the older kids around the orphanage say it when they were angry or frustrated. And right now, the blonde was angry too, so he decided to give swearing a try to improve his mood.
"Damn..it." He said, furrowing his brows. "Why did Speedy have to give away all the candy?! Especially all the chocolate!! Though, I did say it wasn't worth it because there weren't that much…"
He paused and heard a voice. "-brother?" it said. Mello turned his head towards the direction of the voice. It was coming from Roger's office.
'Brother? Whose brother?' He wondered as he quietly pressed his ear onto the door.
"Yeah…where is he?" a small voice wondered. The voice was so soft, Mello could barely hear it. 'Was that the new girl speaking?'
"Miss Clarissa, who exactly was your older brother?" Mello heard Roger's voice ask. 'He sounds like he's worried…'
"Brother's name was-"
"Mello, what are you doing?" a monotone voice asked, making the said person jump and accidentally slam his head toward the door. Mello turned around, shocked, before narrowing his eyes. 'It's him.'
"What are you doing here, Near?" Mello spat. Mello usually doesn't hate people…much, but to him, Near has to be the worst kind of person there is. He looks so emotionless, and doesn't care about a thing; he's like a robot!
"I believe I asked you first." He said. Then, the door opened. Near and Mello both looked up to Roger and Mr. Wammy standing behind the door.
"Mello, Near, what are you doing here?" Roger questioned.
"I just happened to see Mello trying to listen to the conversation you two were having." Near explained and twirled a lock of his hair. Mello glared at him for ratting him out. "Also, I happened to hear there was a new child coming to Wammy's?"
"Why yes." Mr. Wammy smiled. He turned to his side. "Clarissa, why don't you come introduce yourself?"
Slowly, the same girl from before appeared beside Mr. Wammy. She was all cleaned up now; though she still had that eye patch.
She only nodded at the two boys. Mr. Wammy decided to introduce her for her. "Mello, Near. This is Clarissa. Like I mentioned before, she is really shy, so maybe you can help her out with her classes?" He bent down a little to speak to her. "Clarissa, if you ever need help, you can always go to these two gentlemen right here. I'm sure they'll be able to assist you, but you can still always come to Roger or any other staff member too, okay?"
She nodded. When Mr. Wammy stood up, Clarissa immediately grabbed his pant leg. "Are you going to leave?" she asked. She looked scared at the fact the man who took her in was going to leave her after just one day.
Mr. Wammy half-heartedly smiled and patted her head. "I'm afraid I have to. You see, there is someone I need to aid. And he told me to come back as soon as possible after I have helped you settle here."
"Oh…" she looked down and let go of him.
"Goodbye Clarissa." He said and looked at the two successors. "Boys." They nodded.
"Tell L I said hi!" Mello added, but then he lowered his head a little with a blush, thinking the action was too sudden. Mr. Wammy chuckled and nodded, which made Mello raise his head again.
"You and L be safe." Roger said. Mr. Wammy nodded at him too and left. "Boys, why don't you show Clarissa around? I'm sure she'll need a lot of help, and I've got a lot of work to do."
After Roger went in his office, Mello glanced at Near, who looked at him right back. Mello then looked at Clarissa and noticed that she was staring at them both, looking a bit frightened at the sight of the two.
'She's such a scaredy-cat.' He thought, amused.
"Well, shall we get going then?" Mello's good mood was easily smashed by hearing Near speak. Just the sound of his voice makes him want to tear him to shreds!
His eyes narrowed as his immediate reaction was to yell at the boy. "As if! I wouldn't want to be seen in public with your ugly albino face! You're on your own, sheep!" He snapped and left.
Near gave a soft sigh as he and his fellow companion watched the blonde boy stomp out of their sight. 'Stubborn, as usual…' he thought, and slowly turned back to the girl. He stretched out his hand toward her. "Shall we get going then?"
Clarissa gave a small jump, looking at the hand held out to her hesitantly. Slowly but cautiously, she took it. Clarissa was surprised at the cold temperature the albino held in his hand, but she still held it tightly. And so, with Near leading the way, the two children began walking down the hall, starting the tour.
Shadow: Heheh… very tiny sparks are starting to appear between Near and Clarissa…x) But etto…I think it was a bad idea for me to do the limited POV on Mello..most people aren't really good at making him in character(like me).. kuso… ._.;
Mello: I already seem OOC already. Why was I actually trying to be nice to that new midget anyway? And I rarely swore too!!
Shadow: W-well!! It's because you're nine in the story for now! _ And I forgot how little kids act. Do they always try to act like they're superior and awesome and they're like in their ignorance is bliss kind of thing? I think that was how I was like(maybe?).. I forgot what it was like to be in my single digits. T-T I miss my childhood…
Matt: Well, that's what sucks about growing up.. but lucky for us, we get to relive it again!! :D Thanks Shadow!! –glomps-
Shadow: Aww!!! ^//^ -blinks- Wait, if you're little kids in the story, doesn't that make you little kids here..?
Everyone: Say what- -poof!-
Mello: Gah!! What the hell?!?! –is nine years old again-
Matt: Awesome!! Now I can cause trouble without out getting in trouble!!! Sweet!! :DD –is eight again-
Near: … -is seven- (he looks exactly the same! xDD)
Shadow: -massive sparkles- OMG!!! SO CUTE!!! –glomps all- I'M IN SHOTA HEAVEN!!! :'DD
