   " Bye, Melena. "

   " Bye, I'll be back later today. "

Melena left and shut the door as she left. I got up from my computer and walked into the kitchen. I opened the fridge to look for something sweet. I grabbed a plate of chocolate strawberries and walked back to my computer. I set the plate down and took a seat. I started eating the strawberries and I felt my phone buzz. I picked it up and looked at it.

???: Do you like apples?

   ' Who is this? '

You: Who is this?

They didn't respond. I rolled my eyes and finished my last strawberry. I stood up and walked to the kitchen to throw my plate away but my head started hurting.

   ' Why does my head hurt so much? '

The pain got worse and worse. It felt like I was getting a migraine and my vision started getting spotty. I held my head in my hands and I could feel myself swaying back and forth until I fell on my side. I landed on my arm and I felt pain shoot through me. The spots enveloped my sight and then it all went black.

   " Who is she? "

   " I don't know. She just appeared out of nowhere. "

   " How did she get here? "

   " I don't know. I turned around for just a second and then when I turned around she's here? "

   " She seems to be unconscious. "

Multiple voices were talking and I didn't know any of them. The floor was cold and felt like I was laying on a carpet.

   " Let's take her to the guest room for now.  Who's going to take her? "

   " I will. "

I felt myself being picked up and carried around. I felt myself slip into unconsciousness again and I stopped hearing the voices. I felt something soft underneath me. I opened my eyes and sat up. I looked around the room.

   ' This isn't my room. '

I was sitting on a bed in a fancy room. It looked like a hotel room. I couldn't recognize anything so I searched around to see if I had my phone. I didn't. I saw a TV and I found a remote. I turned it on and I checked where I was.

   ' Japan. Wait. How did I get here? I was home. '

I stood up and walked to the window on the side of the room and opened the curtains. I looked out and saw the region. I looked down and saw that I was in a hotel.

   ' What happened? '

I heard footsteps and the doorknob twisting. When the door opened a butler stepped in with a small smile.

   " Hello, my name is Watari. I came to check on you and I'm happy to see you are awake. "

   " Watari? "

   " Yes. "

   ' Weird. He has the same name as the butler from Death Note and he looks just like him. '

   " I also have brought you some clothes. If you don't mind please shower and clean up. "

He set a pair of clothes on the bed and was about to leave when I stopped him.

   " How do I know I can trust you? "

   " That's a good question. For now please shower and then come outside this room and I'll escort you to the living room where you'll be questioned. "

After that, he shut the door and left.

   ' I might as well get a shower and change. I don't know what's going on but I need to figure it out. It seems I'll have to cooperate for now. '

I took the clothes and walked into the bathroom. I took a hot shower and then dried my hair. I slipped the clothes on and took a look at myself in the mirror.

   ' This'll do. '

I left the bathroom and went into the hallway. Watari was standing there waiting for me.

   " Follow me. "

I nodded and started walking down the hallway behind him. The hallway was small and again reminded me of a regular hotel room. A suite even. We walked into the living room and there was a couch, TV, computer, coffee table, and a lot of papers scattered around. There were six men in the room. Two of them looked like college students while three looked like young adults and the last man looked old. He still had black hair but some parts of it were grey. They all had their eyes on me.

   " Um...........hi. "

   " Hello. " One of the college students said.

The two students looked completely different from each other. One had black hair, pale face, and bags under his eyes. The other guy had brown hair, regular tannish skin, and brown eyes. The one with brown hair walked closer to me.

   " It's nice to meet you. "

   " Likewise. "

   " What's your name? "

   " Yours first. "

He looked back at the other student and then turned back to me.

   " I asked you first. "

   " And I asked you second. Now we know who asked who first. "

   " Please excuse him. My name is Kuno Tetsuya. Now you know my name so it's only right for you to tell us yours. " The other student said stepping up to me holding his hand out for me to shake.

The other guys' posture is weird. He was kind of slouched.  I couldn't read his face. It was calm but he was expressionless. I took his hand and shook it but I pulled my hand back. His hand went into his pockets.

   " I don't think that's your real name. "

   ' Why do they all look like Death Note characters? '

   " Why do you think that? "

   " Well, he was very reluctant to tell me his name and you stood up and introduced yourself without hesitation. I don't think Kuno Tetsuya is your real name. "

  " Hmmm. "

They thought about it for a while until the old man spoke up.

   " Please, understand we are not in a position to allow you to know our names. "

   " Then neither am I.  "

It became silent.

   ' I might as well guess. They all look like Death Note characters. They are either the real characters and I'm dreaming or they are holding an anime convention nearby. '

   " I have an idea. Let me guess your names. "

   " There are millions of names in the world and you believe you can guess ours without fail? "

   " Yes. "

   " Okay. "

I started with the older people and moved from them to the college students.

   " Matsuda, Mogi, Aizawa, Soichiro Yagami, Light, and Ryuzaki who is also known as L. Am I right? "

They all looked at me shocked and I just stood there starring at them. Nothing was said between any of us.

   " How do you know our names?  " Light asked

   " So I was right. "

   " Yeah. Those are our names. " Matsuda said

   " But how do you know them? " Mr. Yagami asked.

   " One of two things is happening here. One: There is an anime convention nearby and you all are dressed perfectly for it or two, I'm dreaming. "

   " Why do you say that? " Matsuda asked again.

   " The last thing I remember was that I was at home and I passed out from a migraine and I woke up here. I don't know how I got here. "

   " We can't believe that. "

   " You're going to have to. Hook me up to a lie detector if you must but it's the truth. Let me explain why I think this is a dream or something else. "

They all nodded and followed me as I sat on the couch.
