Yuki is a young diclonius girl. The only thing she wishes is to be human, is that so much to ask for? She soon realizes that being human isn't as great as it was made out to be. What's the use of being human and living a normal life, if you can't share it with those you love?

She falls into an alternate dimension, one where the Death Note exists. Just how hard had she hit her head?

In the last part of the story, Yuki had crossed dimensions and was in the manga Death Note. There she made friends, learned much about life and death. She even learned to deal with her loss of losing her only sister. She then had to go through losing her brotherly figure, L. Read the story to find out more.

If you haven't read 'Crossing Dimensions' and want to read this, I don't think you'll be too lost. I'm sure to explain things in detail. This first chapter takes place in Yuki's original world, because she came back. But how?

Death Note - Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata

Elfen Lied - Lynn Okamoto

Summary: On one fateful day, a young diclonius girl had wished she could be normal. She'd only wanted to be human, out of this constant running from these people that created her. She'd gotten her wish, but with a twist. Thrown into a dimension where the Death Note existed wasn't exactly what she had in mind. When she finally found a way back, only by a fluke, she still doesn't know how to cope with the things that had happened.

She soon realized that being normal didn't matter, as long as her sister wasn't with her that happiness couldn't exist. But what if she were to go back? Would she be able to help her friends? Now that she is older and more wise?

Notes: The first few chapters are with Yuki and her friends. So that you get a feel of what happened in the story before. So that it won't be like throwing you in cold water. Fear not, I'll have the main cast from Death Note introduced soon enough!

Second Chances

"Absent Hearted"

(Not long after where we last left off)

Yuki awoke suddenly, her breathing elevated and her heartbeat irregular. Where was she?

Looking around she noticed that she was in a rather white room, which lead her to believe that the institution had finally found her. When she noticed the windows on the far side of the room, all thoughts of that horrible place vanished.

They would never allow windows in their rooms, knowing they could just as easily break them and escape.

Yuki couldn't move, her hands were bound to the bed. She tried to wiggle her legs, but they were strapped to the bed as well. Leather straps from the looks of it, as she looked at her wrists. Of course. Just her luck.

What had happened to make her get here? Where was she? What had happened?

So many questions, she had bombarded herself. Trying to remember where she'd been the day before.

It was just then that memories of her time in another world flooded her head. This gave her a throbbing headache and she shook her head trying to rid the memories. She saw L falling. Dying. Light smiling deviously. Misa with Rem.

Near. Mello. Matt. She'd been the one to break the news to them about L's death. She felt a feeling well up in her chest. It burned and felt like she was being stabbed. Yuki remembered that feeling she had when she was in the other world. That feeling was usually followed by mountains of pain and tears. Sobbing.

She'd inhabited another 'Yuki's' body and was able to feel and understand emotions differently than she could in this body. Now, though, she knew she'd have a difficult time in that aspect. Her head being damaged from surgery had deemed her worthless in that area. She was brain damaged, to put it simply.

Yuki huffed, looking at her wrists again. She didn't like being hooked up to this bed. She didn't want to be here. But where could she go?

Luna was dead.

Oh, yes. Now she remembers. Luna is dead. So she had no one to go to for help. Yuki felt that stabbing sensation again. Her chest felt like it was being torn in two. She groaned and squeezed her eyes shut. There it was. Now her eyes were watering. Yuki felt them coming. Tears.

Why does a person cry again?

It was time. She didn't care, she just wanted to get out of here. She snapped the leather straps in half with her invisible arms, standing up and looking around. She was in a gown of some sort. A dresser sat next to the window, so she walked up to it, grabbing some pants and a shirt. That should do it.

Once she was dressed, she could hear the faint footsteps on the other side of the door. Yuki tilted her head in confusion as the door opened, revealing a nurse. Her eyes widened in shock.

"How'd you get out of your bindings?" She yelled, digging in her pocket for something. Yuki didn't speak, but rather stared at her in silent confusion. Why was she bound in the first place? Stupid woman.

"A patient is out of their bindings?" Another voice sounded in the hallway, followed by quickened footsteps. Yuki turned around and looked at the window.

It was barred. That would be a problem. She couldn't bend hard metals like that.

"N-now you are going to have to cooperate with us or-" Yuki didn't listen to a word she said, instead knocked her over with her vectors. Her eyes shone a brilliant red as she did so. The woman couldn't see, fortunately, as she sprawled out on the ground.

Yuki took off down the hallway, trying to find a place to get out. Her long white hair whipped behind her as she ran, faster than she'd ever ran in her life.

Upon closer observation she'd noticed something. She was in a mental ward.

Kai

(That next day)

Kai was walking down the busy street in New York. It was starting to get cold out now, seeing as it was the beginning of November. He just needed some time away from his older sister, Mika. She could get to be so damn irritating and it got on his nerves. Kai sighed, ruffling his shaggy black hair and looking at the ground. He would never voice his opinion though, for the fear of hurting her feelings.

He knew that Mika didn't mean much harm from what she does and it was just her personality. It had been a little under a year since their friends, Yuki and Luna went missing. They were being chased by someone. They knew about their secret about being different than normal humans, so it made sense that there were people pursuing them.

'I really miss them. Especially Yuki.' He thought to himself as he came to a stop at a park, he had always been particularly close to Yuki. He just never voiced his thoughts on the matter. Kai was currently on his way back to the house, coming back from the arcade downtown. He had always enjoyed any type of electronic game, even carried around a PSP everywhere he went. Today was much busier than it usually was, so he didn't play while he walked because he needed to stay alert.

"Guh! Watch where you're going kid!" Some random elderly man yelled, raising his cane at Kai for bumping into him by accident. He just nodded and apology in his direction and turned back around to walk away. It was then that he spotted a mop of white hair on the end of the street.

There was only one person he knew that had that color hair.

'Could it be?' He pondered hopefully, speeding up his pace. He weaved through the crowds of people, he could practically feel the smile that was about to break out across his face. Kai stopped in his tracks, looking at the young woman that stood next to an alleyway. She didn't seem to even be moving, if she hadn't been standing he would have questioned if she was alive or not.

It was definitely Yuki, because there was a black '08' tattoo on her left shoulder. She was wearing her usual black tank top and cargo pants. Her hair was noticeably longer. Back when he'd known her, she always kept it short. It was easier to manage.

'That's a new one, it looks good on her though...' Kai thought as he walked up to the woman slowly, as to not startle her.

"Y-Yuki...?" He tapped her shoulder, but got no response. She just stood there, staring at the brick wall in front of her. He had noticed that she didn't even make an attempt to look at him when he tapped her.

'What's wrong with her?' He walked over to her side and grabbed her shoulder, "Hey, Yuki. You okay?" He asked silently, trying not to bring attention to the two. She blinked.

'Oh, well There's a reaction...' He grabbed her chin and turned her head toward him, she had a slight bruise on her cheek as if she had ran into a wall or something. "Hey are you alright?" She just stared up at him blankly and didn't respond.

"Jeez..." He muttered and grabbed her wrist, only to feel her flinch away. "A-ah." He looked down and noticed her right hand was slightly bruised as if she'd punched someone. Or something.

'What happened to her? I need to get her back to Mika, she'll be able to tell what's wrong.' He nodded and grabbed her arm instead.

"I'm going to take you back home, Mika will assess your wounds." Was all he said as he lead her away from that street she was standing on. Yuki had not said one word the whole way back home.

Mika

Mika was busy studying for her final exams for college, sitting at the coffee table on a nice soft couch. The day Luna and Yuki had left, she went to the bank to find out that Luna had put enough money in there to pay for college and live comfortably meanwhile. She could never figure out how she had gotten so much money, it had always been an ongoing secret that they had kept between each other.

Yuki as well, sometimes they would disappear for weeks and come back with more money. Then there was the fact that she needed to get a job, otherwise the money wouldn't last long. Mika wanted to become a doctor simply because she loved helping people.

She remembered the time she met up with her friends Kayla and Ella. Kayla had defended her older sister from a mugger and gotten a horrible wound on her face and arm. Thankfully though, Mika was there to fix her wounds soon enough before much damage occurred.

"M-Mika." She heard Kai call from the doorway. The house they were in was quite small, only with 3 bedrooms and a fully finished basement. It wasn't hard to hear everyone throughout the house, and she was even thinking about letting a friend stay in the basement for a time. She put her pencil and paper down, and stood up to walk to the entry way. "Mika, are you home?" He called again, this time more urgently.

"Yes Yes Kai, I'm home." She chuckled slightly.

'Kai never acts like this, I wonder what he could have gotten himself into now.' She pondered as she turned the corner into the entry way.

"What's the matter no-" She stopped in her tracks and was shocked at what was in front of her. "Y-Yuki!" She squealed and started to run up to her happily.

"Wait, she's hurt." Kai replied to her outburst with blocking her from attacking Yuki. "Here." He lifted her right hand up and showed Mika. The entire time she was here she didn't even make a move or greet any of them.

After grabbing a damp rag and returning, she looked down at the small girl.

"Oh...well that's good, the swelling looks minimal if none at all." She grabbed the damp rag and started to clean the cuts on her knuckles. "It looks like some minor bruising, so nothing too serious." Mika peered up at the girl only to see her staring blankly down at her. "Where's Luna?" Yuki flinched visibly, as if she'd been hit and looked away at the coffee table.

"What's wrong with her...?" Kai asked lowly, he was referring to her not responding to them.

"Emotional Shock...or Trauma...I can't remember which one. I'm still in college don't look at me like that!" She looked over at him angrily, Kai just stared disinterestedly at her.

"Is she going to be okay?" There was a loud knock that sounded at their door, making them both turn in that direction.

"Who is it!" Mika yelled, not looking away from Yuki's hand. Once it was finished she got up and walked to the door and answered it.

"Yo." A blonde haired woman said nonchalantly as Mika answered the door.

"Jeez Amy! How many times have I told you to clean your face up so that those cuts don't get infected!" Mika scolded, dragging the larger woman into the house by her arm. "I tell you...it's like you're still a child or something." She grabbed a wet cloth and started to wipe off the woman's face,

'She always comes here all dirty! She needs to learn to clean herself up...one of these days...' Mika went off into a rant in her head about how she'd get infected and whatnot.

Kai

"Hey Yuki...are you tired?" Kai asked her quietly, trying to ignore his loud older sister in the kitchen. Amy comes over to the house on a regular basis, so it wasn't odd to see her lingering around. She was a rather chubby woman, going to college to be an auto mechanic. Amy always had her hair put up into a ponytail or out of her face in some way possible. Kai still didn't get an answer from Yuki, so he just stood up and grabbed her arm. "Come on..." He sighed as he walked her into his room.

His room wasn't all too big, only having a full sized bed and a few game systems hooked up to his television. Kai made Yuki sit down on his bed as he turned around to search for some different clothing in his dresser.

He mumbled a few things under his breath a few times before pulling out a large black long sleeved shirt. "This will do..." He set it on Yuki's lap, and she just looked down at it with a dead stare. Kai shook his head and walked up to his game station, pulling up his bean bag chair and sitting down.

He figured she'd get up and do it on her own time.

Kai was playing Nazi Zombies on Black Ops, sometimes he'd really get into it and yell at the screen if he got killed or his teammates wouldn't help him.

"Come on...Jeez, revive me." He grumbled into his headset. Kai preferred the Xbox platform, he liked the controllers better. It was hard trying to get used to Play Station controllers, well in his opinion that is. A few hours into the match, he was finally on round 40. He heard Yuki stand up and leave the room, 'Finally...' He thought as he got hit by a horde of zombies.

"Come on!" He raged, throwing the controller on the ground. Kai never lets anyone see this side of him, usually just sits there in silence. When he had first started living with Luna and Yuki he hadn't socialized much, but as time passed him and Yuki started to get closer.

She was the only one that knew how he really was, how he really acted. It felt nice to have her back again, so that he had someone there to at least listen to him. Even if it didn't seem like she was fully there. Kai was determined to make sure Yuki returned back to her normal self.

'I wonder what it was that even made her this way...if I knew, I'd at least be able to try and help...'

Kai walked out into the hallway about an hour later, wondering what was taking the girl so long. The bathroom was right across from his room, as well as the other two rooms. The door to the bathroom was slightly cracked, he could hear Amy and Mika jabbering away about some reality TV show.

"Yuki...?" He knocked on the door gently, hearing weird sounds on the other side of the door. It sounded like someone was tapping on the counter, or maybe even-

'She couldn't be!' He opened the door quickly, only to see Yuki with a pair of scissors in her hands. She looked lazily in his direction, half of her head of hair was chopped off even shorter than Kai's. From the looks of it, she had gotten into Mika's hair dye as well. Yuki's hair was now a natural looking black.

"W-What do you think you're doing?" He asked, stunned. 'Of course, no answer.' He walked up to her and grabbed a longer piece of hair from the front of her body. "I really liked your hair long..." He mumbled and grabbed the scissors. "I guess it can't be helped now. Unless you want to look like Kayla." Kai chuckled slightly at the thought of the woman, she was really something. If he didn't know better, he could see a hint of curiosity in Yuki's eyes at that moment. He tilted his head downwards, as to get a better view of her.

"Oh...well she's a friend of Mika's, she comes over quite often. You'll see her sooner or later." He explained, cutting off the rest of her hair. Yuki's hair was now right below her ear, and completely black.

'She actually blends in now...but she kind of looks like a boy...then again it looks cute on her as well.' He noted how her chest hadn't really grown over the year she's been gone. 'W-what! Why am I thinking about her chest? That's perverted!' He shook his head and turned away to grab the broom in the corner of the room. Yuki started to walk out of the room, she was now wearing only Kai's shirt.

Yuki padded through the door and walked into the living area, her face never changing expression. It was starting to get kind of creepy, seeing her like that.

"Yes, what do you- WHAA!" Mika stood up and walked over to Yuki, "What happened to your hair?" She flailed her arms wildly, trying to emphasize her point. "You looked so cute with long hair! What were you thinking? And the color! What did you do to your cute white hair! Why!" She continued on her dramatic rant.

"Give the girl a break, maybe she just wanted a change." Amy was munching on some chips while sitting on the couch. "Besides, she looks cute like that too." She looked up at the small girl.

Mika had gone into the other room for something or another. No one really knew what that woman was doing. Her wavy brown hair bounced as she ran around in the kitchen.

"Hey Kai."

"Sup..."

"What's up with the chick? She your girlfriend or something?" Amy asked in curiosity. Kai felt his face heat up, though he didn't know why. There wasn't anything embarrassing about that, he had always got that from Luna too.

"N-No...she's a friend of the family." He replied calmly.

"What's wrong with her?" She started to wave her hand in front of Yuki's face, not even getting a reaction out of her.

"Traumatized."

"Shit...well that sucks." She pulled out a cigarette and started it up, inhaling deeply. "I had a sister that went through emotional shock.." She exhaled, a cloud of smoke came barreling out. "She stayed in that state for years...it took awhile."

"What made her like that? If you don't mind my asking..."

"Not at all..." She took another drag, looking up at the ceiling in thought. "When we lost our parents in the house fire, she got really depressed. Even went as far as blaming herself for it...then...she looked a lot like Yuki does right now...3 years later she came out of it then committed suicide.." Kai tilted his head, watching the woman finish up her cigarette.

"You're not upset about it?" Kai felt seriously upset about hearing this. Surely Yuki wouldn't try and kill herself, she wasn't like that. Right?

"I was...but I eventually learned to put up with it. It's just a part of life. You live you die. That's it."

"What have I told you about smoking in the house!" Mika raged, her face turned red. "Smoking causes cancer! I don't want you to die!" She grabbed what remained of the cigarette and crushed it with her fingers. "Jeez, you're like a child..." She closed her eyes and tapped her foot.

"Mika..." Kai put the bowl of water in front of Yuki and started to undo her left hand, leaving the right hand to Mika since it was broken.

"Right..." She sat down next to Yuki and started to fix up her wounds.

Yuki

She sat there, watching them fix up her hands for her. She'd punched a few of the mental ward workers as she'd made her way to the record room. They'd even knocked her down a few times, which was why there were a few odd bruises on her face. She'd made her way to the record room and destroyed any evidence of her being there.

The last thing she needed was the authorities looking for her. They would no doubt put out a warning for her, which would in turn notify the Diclonius Association of her whereabouts. Though she didn't know if they were even running amok anymore.

She remembered just what happened in the bathroom earlier. It surprised even her.

(Earlier that day)

Yuki stood up and grabbed the clothing that Kai had given her. She was watching him play his game, he would occasionally let out a rant of his own about his incompetent teammates. She'd always liked watching him play games, especially the RPG games. As she would always get the controls messed up, so watching the story progress from behind Kai was her only option.

It seemed the only game she was even remotely good at was the shooting games.

Since she'd gotten here, Yuki felt that her voice had died in her throat. Her face remained passive, even though she felt pain in her chest. Her knowledge of certain things were slowly starting to come back to her.

From what she recalls, her head was so damaged that she couldn't even connect the dots about the certain things she felt. Yet she knew what she was currently feeling. Why is that?

Not only that, but she could still feel that slight tickle in the back of her subconscious. Almost like her other half was still there.

Now, normally Diclonius are born with 'the voice'. Yuki wasn't. She knew that, as that had been explained to her before. Luna...Luna had told her about those things. Luna could hear that voice, because sometimes it would have a great influence in the bad things she would do.

But Yuki, she never had that problem. In the time she'd inhabited her doppelganger's body in another dimension, she could oftentimes talk to the girl that lived there before her. Yuki Emmett, was her name. Is this what it was like to have 'the voice', or was it supposed to be more malicious in nature? She didn't know.

Yuki stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring blankly as she pulled her hand up and ran her slim fingers across her unnaturally pale face. She had her old body back. She could use her extra arms without consequences, like back in that other dimension. She couldn't use them without getting headaches or bloody noses. God only knows what could have happened if she used them more than she did before. She could have killed herself, she wouldn't have known.

Yuki blinked a few times, staring at her long hair. It had grown since she left so many years ago. Just how long was she in that mental ward? The last thing she remembered when she left this world was how she was falling off of a building. Surely she'd died. But she didn't.

Here she was, all in one piece.

Well, physically.

She let out a tired sigh as she shuffled around in the cupboards, stumbling across what she was looking for.

Black hair dye.

Back in the other dimension, her doppelganger had long black hair and was of Japanese decent. Half European half Japanese. Her hair looked nice on her in that world. She also blended in much easier, as opposed to this white mop of unnatural hair she had now.

She'd grown so accustomed to her black hair back in that world.

'So this is what you look like...' a voice had said within her, startling her out of her thoughts. She looked questioningly at herself in the mirror. Her black eyes bored into the eyes of herself in the mirror. Though it wasn't herself in the mirror. It was the black haired Emmett girl. She stared at her with an almost angered look on her face. Yet some sadness could be seen.

That's right, Yuki had tried to kill that body. She tried to kill herself, though she undoubtedly failed. And from the looks of it, the Emmett girl was still with her.

'What are you doing here?' She thought in response, knowing the Emmett girl could hear her. Yuki stared into the mirror at this person, wondering faintly if it was just her mind playing tricks on her. Perhaps that was the reason she was in the mental ward? She'd lost her mind, now she was hallucinating.

'I assure you, I am real Number 08. Why am I here, with you? Why am I not with my sister?' She questioned. But she was just as confused as her, she didn't have the answers that she needed. Yuki was clueless. She watched as the person in the mirror's mouth moved, yet hers stayed shut. Her hair was black, yet hers was white.

This was all so difficult to understand.

'I don't know, you were supposed to stay in your world. And I in mine. I just wanted to be with Luna...' Yuki's pained thoughts rang throughout the Emmett girl's head. She was in the mirror, staring back at her counterpart.

They were the same. They knew that, but why they existed as a separate entity was beyond her. Yuki didn't understand anything. Maybe it was her own way of trying to cope with things. Had her and the Emmett girl combined consciousness, she would retain all of her memories. Giving her more knowledge than needed, making her mentally older than she really is. She would know and feel all of the things she had back in her life in the other dimension.

Yuki didn't want that. She already had her own set of problems to deal with. The last thing she needed was to deal with another set of problems.

It was silent for awhile, before Yuki started to put globs of hair dye in her long white locks. She stared at the roots and started on her way down. There wasn't enough for her whole head, so once she was done rinsing she took out the scissors.

A large chunk of hair fell at her feet as she started hacking away. This needed to be done.

Mika

(2 Years Later)

"She still hasn't made any improvements..." She sighed and looked at the carpet beneath her feet. Mika was sitting in the living room, Yuki sitting on the couch right across from her. Kai was out in his classes. They would often have to leave Yuki with Amy or Ella. Ella is Kayla's sister, twins to be exact. Mika had been there for Kayla when she had been stabbed in the face and the arm about 5 years back. Kayla was protecting Ella from a mugger, and in return got some pretty nasty scars.

"Mika...Ummm...don't you have class in about a half an hour...?" Ella murmured, she was a timid little thing. Her wide brown eyes showed innocence, kindness. Being just as short as Yuki, though not as thin. Her hair was always either in a single low braid or pigtail braids, and she had the darkest of hair.

Yuki had stopped eating too and had to be forced for nutrition needs, and this is where Ella came in. She was studying to be a nurse and was almost ready to graduate, so she knew how to take care of these things. They even pondered whether or not they would have to send her to a mental hospital, but they didn't have the heart to take her in for therapy. As they might just take her away from the family, and find out what she really was. Mika was studying hard, trying to find away to help her get over this depression.

"Y-Yea...I'll go...take good care of Yuki will you?" She waved her hand and stood up, picking up all her supplies in the process.

"Good luck on your test today..."

"T-Test! WE HAVE A TEST?" Mike screamed, "Oh god! I'm such an idiot!" Mika was moving much faster now, "I need to cram when I get to the school. Good bye Ella! Take care of the house!" The door slammed shut.

Ella

"Phew...she really needs to remember these things...she'll end up failing..." Ella said quietly, patting her knee length skirt and standing up. "Time to eat!" She said enthusiastically in her little voice. "What are you in the mood for today Yuki?" She looked over at the girl, she was staring vacantly at the table in front of her.

"OI! Ella open the damn door!" Ella looked over at the door, her eyes widening under her thick rimmed glasses. "ELLA!"

"Y-Yes! I'm coming..." She opened the front door for Kayla. "S-Sorry, I was looking for something to feed Yuki." Kayla scoffed and looked over at the girl.

"She can feed her damn self." She walked over and sat down at the table with her, "Hey there!" She waved her hand in front of Yuki's face. "Yoo Hoo!" She drug out her vowels, trying to irritate the little girl.

"It isn't going to work Kayla...she hasn't responded to anything in 2 years now..." She walked into the kitchen to dig around for something to eat. Kayla leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling. Her hair looked like it was just lazily chopped off in the back and her front was left uncut. Kayla's hair always looked like a mess, and with the vertical scar on her right eye it made her look intimidating. She had even finished off the look with a lip, belly button, and eye brow piercing. "Did you use your eye drops today...?" Ella asked quietly, making Kayla peek up over at the girl.

"Yea...I know." She mumbled, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl in front of her. Kayla was blind in her right eye, all because of that incident. Though she never had any regrets for saving her big sister, Ella always felt guilty about what had happened that day. "Why do you even come over here to work with Yuki anyways? They don't even pay you that much..." She bit into the apple viciously.

"Because I need practice, and besides Yuki is cute. I mean look at her."

"Yea about as cute as a damn rock..."

"H-Hey...That's not nice.." She called from the kitchen, she came walking out with a couple pieces of toast and an egg. "H-here, eat up now. Please...?" Yuki looked down at the plate and tilted her head to the side. Everything she seemed to do was quite delayed, almost as if she were lazy. Or maybe something made her mentally incapable of doing normal every day things? No one could find out why she had gotten like that, or even what it was.

"Gah! Just leave the girl! She ain't gonna listen worth shit!" Kayla got up, the squeaking of her leather could be heard from in front of Yuki.

"Calm down...she'll eat when she's ready. She usually does." Ella put her hands in the air, trying to calm her little sister.

"Hmph! Fine..." She sat back down and looked over at the girl, who just stared at her blankly. "What chu lookin at foo'?" Kayla mocked. Yuki reached over to grab the orange juice that had been set in front of her and 'accidentally' knocked it over. The orange juice conveniently started to dribble all over Kayla's new leather pants.

"H-HEY! The hell'd you do that for girl?" She stood up abruptly and walked over to her, "You tryin to start shit?" She grabbed her by the shirt and yelled in her face. Yuki's eyes widened in shock, her mouth hanging agape. It was almost as if she were relieving some memories.

"Mello?" Yuki mumbled, pushing away from Kayla.

"Eh? The hell is a mello?" Kayla responded, looking down at the little girl. Yuki made eye contact with Kayla.

'S-she...she made eye contact! She spoke!'

"Y-Yuki! Can you talk?" Ella questioned, walking up to her. Yuki just looked over at her like she used to, it's almost as if she reverted back.

'What happened? Why is she like this?' Ella looked down at the girl, saddened. 'It's almost like she's purposely closing herself off, so she can't get hurt...' Ella looked down at the mess that Yuki had made and went into the kitchen to grab a towel. While she was looking around, she could hear the faint grumbling from Kayla. It wasn't long until she came walking out and started to clean up the floor.

"Where did Yuki go?" Ella asked, looking up at an irritated Kayla.

"Fuck if I know, she walked out the door a few minutes ago or somethin'." She turned around and went toward the bathroom, still cussing underneath her breath.

'W-What? I'm supposed to keep a good eye on her! I can't let her run off like that.' She stood back up and ran out the door, her braids bouncing along with her movement.

"Yuki!" She almost sounded like a young child, running through the streets. 'She couldn't have gone far...where...' She saw two figures emerge from an alleyway and stopped, Yuki was standing with another girl with shorter black hair. 'Phew...there she is...'

"Y-Yuki! You got me scared there for a moment...I'm sorry ma'am." She walked up to Yuki and grabbed her arm.

"Who are you?" The woman asked, her eyes were the brightest blue. Though they looked like they could be contacts, no ones eyes are that bright.

"I-I'm her nurse. The Takeshi's hired me, and I've been taking care of her. N-Now...if you please." Ella turned around, taking Yuki with her.

"She hasn't even talked to me." Ella turned back around to look at the woman, "What's wrong with Yuki?" The woman asked, her eyes lit up with anger. "Who did this to her? Answer me!" She growled, walking up to Ella. She looked like intimidating, so she didn't want to start anything.

"Er...Aahh...I-I don't...I-I..."

"Who are you?" Ella turned around to see her sister Kayla walking up with a pissed look on her face. "Why are you talking to my sister like that? You tryin to start somethin', too?"

"I could ask you the same thing! What the hell happened to my sister!" The woman was getting hysterical by now, her face was turning red from anger.

"S-sister?" Ella questioned, letting go of Yuki's arm. The woman looked over at Ella and frowned,

"Yes, I'm Luna. Her damn sister! Got a problem?" She growled, walking up to Yuki and holding her hand. "Where's Mika? Or Kai, I need to speak with them."

"L-Luna?" Ella whispered, recognizing the name. It made sense now! That black hair, those red eyes. That was Luna. Yuki's sister! "It's me, Ella. D-don't you remember?" Kayla was just standing there with the same look on her face from before. She'd never gotten along with Luna, so she didn't seem too pleased to have her back.

"If you hurt my sister, I'm going to shank your bitch ass!" Kayla blurted out then turned around, "Come on. We need to get back to the house. Kai's dumb ass will freak out if his 'precious Yuki' isn't around." She stomped off towards the house.

'S-she's always so angry...I wonder … if it's because of me...' Ella looked over at Luna, she looked like she was about to blow a gasket. Yuki reached up and tugged on her sleeve, which in turn made her calm down.

"Yea...come on, we need to get back to the house."

"Hnnn..." She followed behind Ella, Yuki in hand.

Luna

Luna was extremely upset about Yuki's situation. She wouldn't even look up at her, she just stood there. Lifeless.

'What could have happened to her?'

'Remember what happened when we were in the other world?' It had suggested. Luna oftentimes wondered if she was schizophrenic, considering that she hears voices in her head. Well. A voice.

'What?'

'When we were reading Death Note. Do you remember seeing Yuki appear in the manga book?'

'Yea...but I didn't think it was real.'

'She's probably got some type of mental condition. Now that you're back, she'll probably start to get better. . . '

'You think so?'

'Yea, I'm sure of it. She'll pull out of it, she's a strong girl.'

'I know...'

"Kayla, where's Yuki?" She heard a young man call, he sounded stressed.

"I told you! She's over there! Jeez!" She huffed and walked into the house, slamming the door.

"That girl has some anger issues." Luna mumbled, walking beside Ella.

"Yea...it's probably my fault. I'm sorry." She looked saddened as she walked into the house after Kayla.

"Yuki, there you are." Kai was relieved as he turned around and walked up to her, "Luna...? Is that you?" He looked confused.

"Nooo...I'm Santa Claus." She answered sarcastically, "Really now, I never pegged you to be the idiot who states the obvious."

"Well excuse me for being confused. After-all, I haven't seen you in a few years. You look different." Kai had matured much since the last time Luna had seen him. He even talks more often than before, that was a good thing.

"You look weird..." Luna mumbled, talking about his stubble that was forming and how he dressed so messily.

"Everyone's a little weird. I'm just an overachiever."

"Daaammnnn, boy's got you there." Luna looked over in the direction of the new voice, "Good one, bro." She called walking up to him. She had long blonde hair, and it was thrown in a messy ponytail. She had a cigarette placed in her mouth as she gave Kai a pat on the back[More like shoulder], a harsh one at that. He winced.

"Who's this?" She asked, her eyebrows raising skeptically. She was even taller than Kai, she looked down at Luna.

"I'm Amy, nice to meet ya." She smiled and took a puff of her cigarette. "Good thing Mika isn't around...she'd get mad at me for smoking." She mumbled, stomping the butt in the ground.

"I take it you guy's have a full house?" Luna questioned looking over at Kai, who was still rubbing his sore shoulder.

"Er...yea, I suppose you can say that. Kayla and Ella sleep downstairs in the basement. Amy has the guest room and Yuki rooms with Mika."

Kai

It had been a few hours since Luna arrived, and he was sitting on the couch. Amy was in his room playing Saints Row, and you could occasionally hear her bust out laughing. Ella and Kayla were quite silent, as they were downstairs discussing something. Or so he assumed.

Kai was now talking and catching up on Luna about what went on since she'd been gone. Though it seemed as though she were reluctant to tell Kai about what kind of adventures she had been on lately.

'I wonder why that is?'

When Mika had come home, she freaked out and tackle hugged Luna. Hurting each other in the process. They had gone into a long conversation that Kai didn't even attempt to understand. Though he did like the fact that everything was back to normal. Well almost everything. He looked over at Yuki, who just stared at Luna and Mika conversing animatedly.

'I just hope she gets better...'

Why hello there, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter to my story. I'll try posting once a week. AND you'll find out how they meet the characters from Death Note in the next chapter. This was just the beginning. (If you couldn't tell) :3

Yes, I created that image that is the cover for this story. Yes, it is Yuki and 'the Emmett girl'.
