I woke up right as the plane touched down in England. I grabbed all my stuff and started getting off the plane. I turned around to see a boy about my age looking at me. He had messy black hair and black eyes, I waved at him and he walked up to me "Are you Namae Nashi?" He asked

"What's it to you?" I said

"Come with me." He said turning around and walking away. I figured I might as well follow him. He waked to a man holding a card with my name on it, "are you Namae Nashi?" He asked

"Yeah that's me but don't call me that cuz I hate that name." I said annoyed. Instead of getting mad at me as I expected him to, the old man just laughed.

"Well I guess well have to get you a new name then. Come on we're going to the car." He said as he grabbed my bags. He seemed really nice but that's how all the orphanage people are at first, then they get really angry and mean and they always take it out on me. I followed them to the car.

I got in the back seat and the black haired kid sat next to me. "What's your name?" I asked him

"L" he said

"That's a weird name."

"We all have weird names at the orphanage. You need a name too." The boy, L said and looked like he was thinking

"I've got it! It's an 93% chance that you'll like it!" He said happily

"What is it?" I asked curiously

"Shadow!" He said

"I love it, thanks!" I said with a smile

"What's your real name? Because it said that the orphanage named you, so what wears it before?" L asked curiously

"I never had a name."

"Didn't your parents name you?"

"No my dad left before I was born and my mom hated me and abused me till I was 4 then I ran away and got picked up by an orphanage and I've been going from orphanage to orphanage ever since." I said sadly, that's not the whole story but they don't need to know what I am, nobody needs to know.

"That's really sad." Said L. We talked about small stuff for the rest of the ride.

We soon arrived at a huge house in the country and it looked awesome. I jumped out of the car and grabbed my stuff. L and the old man who told me his name was Watari followed me to the front door. I pushed it open and I saw a group of kids waiting and more kids walking around behind them. I walked in and the group introduced themselves as Near, Mello, Beyond and Matt.

"What's your name?" Asked Mello

"Shadow." I said happily. L and Watari were behind me and Watari told L to show me to my room. L grabbed my hand and led me up a bunch of stairs until we came to a hallway with three doors on each side. He led me to one with a black door and opened it. It was really simple with a bed and a desk.

"You can decorate it however you want." L said

"Okay. Wait, where's your room?" I asked him, he pointed to the wooden door next to mine. "Oh yay our rooms are right next to each other!" I said with a smile

"There's a door connecting them too." He told me

"Oh that's awesome!" I said. Watari came up with Mello Matt Near and Beyond.

"You can decorate your room now, I'll take you to a store to get supplies." Watari told me

"Okay!" I said

"Can we come and help?" Asked the group of four

"Sure!" i said happily. we all got in the car after i set my stuff in my new room. We headed to a stor that had all kinds of decoration stuff including paint and furniture. first we went to the paint section. I picked out dark purple for the walls and silver for the trim. I got black carpet too. Next the 6 of us went to pick out furniture and decorations.I picked out a small red couch with black rose print for undernith the big window and Mello picked out a bunch of bean bags which were awesome. Near helped me pick out a silver desk and Matt picked uot a tv and a bunch of games and gaming consels. Beyond showed me some awesome gothic paintings and L Showed me a bed with blake frame and purple sheets.

We had all the stuff delivered to the house and we hired painters and movers to finish the room. When i walked into the finished room i was amazed at how awesome iit was! That night we all sat in my room playing games and talking. This happeded almost every night for the next four years. And then everything changed.
