YEAR: 2000 (PAST)

Matt would never consider himself a 'White Hat Hacker', such were the legal hackers that did it for fun and work, hacking into their own systems and such. No, he had grown up hacking. In a nutshell, he was born a prince. No, he wasn't royalty, he was born into a rich lifestyle, with beautiful parents. He was three fourths French, and one fourth Irish. His father was Arthur O'Connor, one part Irish and one part French, his name completely Irish, his mother had been French, Matt's grandmother.

Now, his mother, Elsie Audrea, and her husband...yeah...that's right. Matt was a love child, and she was married to another man when she had him with the love of her life, so called. Her husband was Anthony Jeevas, henceforth, her name was Elsie Jeevas, and Matt's...Mail Jeevas. Anthony was a business tycoon who had enough money to buy a third world country, clearly, this didn't happen.

His mother, Elsie, had been under lockdown, so to speak. Anthony had recognized the signs and placed her in a room which locked on the outside, and so she was never seen outside the house, or that room. Matt could recall talking to her through the door, or, if Anthony got tired of him, being locked in with her. Going to elementary, he was treated differently because of his hair and eyes, unlike most of the kids, who had blonde hair, and brown hair, and brown or blue eyes, he had bright red hair and enticing green eyes.

The girls thought he was beautiful, the guys thought he was a dork...the teachers...well; he hadn't cared much about what they thought anyways. He had been taught extensively about all sorts of things from the age of five, to the age of ten, when he ran away. He spent most of his time in the library, and would read subjects that ranged from math, to binary encoding.

Now, even at ten, he was smart, he hadn't left without anything. He took his laptop, a wireless connector and router. He took a backpack, which held a small but thick blanket, and a change of clothes and brush. He decided he would tear his mother's husband down. Starting, of course, with his company...

He had taken refuge within the alleys and had kept cover in the subway routs. He hid in silence, and hid in the shadows, with cops searching for him around the clock on his father's orders. He knew his father was searching for him, because he knew what his son planned to do. He knew that Mail was destroying his life, because he had taken Mail's by locking his mother away.

It was unforgivable, and he would make sure his father rotted away in the furthest depths of hell!

It was a couple weeks after he ran away when he found his father, Arthur O'Connor. He had immediately taken him in, without asking who he was. He had loved his father and mother both so much, that when they were killed...he had felt a part of him die with them.

Their murder...Anthony Jeevas...

YEAR: 2004 (PRESENT)

'System failure...' Matt scoffed, "Obviously you piece of junk laptop!"

Mello walked in to see Matt glaring at his laptop, "No luck fixing it?"

"No, you can't fix a blue screen with simple antivirus software, it paralyzes the systems normal operations..."

"So what? It can't be fixed?"

Matt laughed, "Of course it can, now, while it can't be fixed by an antivirus software, it can be fixed by me."

Mello raised a brow, "Whatever," he took Matt's laptop and placed it on the desk despite Matt's obvious objections to having his only real love taken from him. "Homework," he tossed a large folder filled with about sixty pages of schoolwork in it.

"Yes master, whatever you say master." Matt drawled out as he grabbed an electric pencil and began his trek through history, advanced math and psychology.

"She understands?"

"Entirely, sir."

"Then send her in,"

An old man bowed and left the room, leaving a man with black bed hair and charcoal gray eyes staring in thought after him. He wore a shite long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, his knees were brought up to his chest as he twirled around in a chair chewing on his thumb a bit.

It was a minor annoyance for him to be here, but at this moment, it called for him...she called for him.

"L, here is the girl."

L turned and stopped the chair from continuing its spin. "Ah, Higurashi, Kagome...it was in your aunts will...that should anything happen to you...i take you in before an Orphanage aside from mine, got their hands on you. You see, she-"

"Worked for you on the L.A. BB Murder Case, I know. She also kicked your butt with capoeira,"

He stared in surprise at the girl, she was only twelve, but beyond her years in knowledge.

"Are my sources wrong?" She inquired.

"No, far from, I am merely in wonder how you knew such facts,"

"I'm proficient enough with technology, I don't need to explain my meaning, I'm sure." Kagome stepped over to him and looked him over carefully, circling him as he watched her eye him carefully, "I found it curious as to why you never show your face, but after seeing you in person...I'm not so curious any longer. In fact, I find it more understandable to keep yourself hidden, you look tired, and lazy, a little washed out, and quite frankly...too withdrawn. Not to mention too young to be the worlds greatest detective. I'd stop with trying to raise your successors as mini you's, and start trying to make them better then you...and healthier looking too. I'm not really interested in going to a reform Orphanage for geniuses, though...it does sound a little bit interesting, I don't like the idea of people manipulating me into their intelligent little puppet."

"...Interesting, you will have a bed, food, an allowance, schooling...you won't have to worry about the run for being my successor unless you want to, this is only to get you off the streets and into a warm and safe home. No one is adopted from the Orphanage, it's not like that."

Kagome sighed, "I know that the kids need to change their names...if I must, mine will be...K, because I don't honestly care to go by a new name."

"Fine, K it is."

Kagome nodded.

"Oi, Sheepboy!"

Matt stopped walking, his laptop in hand as he typed briskly, Mello was yelling ahead of him, which meant if he kept walking, he'd walk right into his friend.

"Mello," the soft tenor that came from his friends' one rival in studies; "Is there something that you need?"

Mello growled, "You get a roommate, did you here?"

"I was the first to hear, I believe...you must have just learned of this if you are only now bringing this to my attention..."

Matt grinned, but kept quiet. Actually, this was news to him. He hadn't heard about near getting a roommate or maybe Mello had told him and he'd just blocked him off. In fact, now that he thought about it, that was more than likely.

"Shut it, you damn Sheep Boy!"

"You may want to think up some new insults, I'm starting to grow quite fond of your nickname for me," Near turned and walked off, heading in the direction of the main hall as he left Matt laughing at his best friends expense and Mello fuming and blushing.

Matt had never wondered about his friends' sexual orientation, he didn't really care, but he had always assumed Near was, if into any sex at all, into men. He didn't come across as someone who would crush on a girl, not that he could see him chasing after men either.

(Two Days Later)

Kagome Higurashi, A-K-A: K, stood outside the car she'd just stepped out of, it was annoying, but she blamed her lame mother. A druggie with no life had taken up the role as her mother, doing a lousy job at it too, until she died nine months ago. Kagome had immediately taken to staying long weeks with her Aunt Naomi after she moved close to her and her mother. Eight years ago, and then she had to get and get herself killed. Well, it was never verified, but her fiancé Raye Penber was killed! Actually, he died of a sudden heart attack, but so did about a dozen other F.B.I agents, and Naomi had mentioned that he was working the Kira case, which as far as she and Kagome had been concerned, meant he was murdered. It was too obvious and well-constructed not to be murder. Naomi had left her a note, on that note, Naomi had mentioned before leaving on the day she went missing, that she was going to confront Kira, and it was after that Kagome never saw her again...in her heart, she knew her Aunt was also dead...leaving Kagome alone. She had stayed by herself for a while, until L decided that maybe, just maybe, her Aunt had a will. And she did, all concerning her, Kagome Higurashi.

Now, here she was, standing in front of Wammy's Orphanage...she knew of this place...boy did she know. A small smirk formed on her lips, 'I can't wait to meet them...'
