A/N: thank you so much for 50K reads! For this, I have written a collection of one shot chapters and put them into this chapter for you to read an enjoy :3 the epilogue will be posted tomorrow :3 

Place when Mello walks Benihime home after she brings him back. (This was originally going to be their first kiss, but I scrapped it and never used it. I saved it in case I wanted to use it in the future. I wrote this a few weeks ago so it includes notes of what I wanted to do with the chapter, like when I was supposed to start a new chapter or when I should save a part for the end etc., you'll understand what I mean towards the end)

Mello suddenly tugs on my arm – pulling me to him. His hand finds its way to my cheek, the other wrapping itself around my waist. I look up into his eyes in shock and realise how close he is. My breath gets caught in my throat. What is he doing? He leans down, his face inching closer towards mine before his lips brush against my own. My eyes widen in surprise before I shut them and allow the feeling of his lips brushing against mine to take over my mind.

Something sparks through me and I find my arms wrapping themselves around his neck. His lips descend down onto mine once more, pressing a firmer kiss onto my lips. I move my lips against his as I kiss him back. I'm silently praying that I'm not a crappy kisser, considering I've had no experience.

He moves his hand and tangles his fingers into my hair as our lips dance together.

I break the kiss and I gasp for breath. He pulls away from me and looks into my eyes apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Beni." He says and begins to turn. I grab his arm, halting his actions.

"Don't apologise." I mumble and look down at my hand as my grip on his arm tightens. He turns to face me and I look up at him. Our eyes lock and I feel my face heat up.

"Why not?" He asks curiously. His eyes searching mine for the answers. I blush even deeper with realisation.

"Because I love you, Mello."

***//NEWCHAPTER 

"You don't love me. You just think you do because you've been stuck with me for a while. I kidnapped you. You should hate me." Mello says darkly. He rips his arm from my grip. He looks at me, his eyes full of disgust.

"But I don't hate you!" I protest. "I haven't forgiven you for kidnapping me!" Tears begin to run down my cheeks. I clench my hands into fists and stare down at the floor. "You kissed me! You must feel something for me." I look up into his blue eyes, anger coursing through my veins when I see the disgust still written all over his face. "You manipulated me! You kissed me for the hell of it! You didn't consider how I felt!" I yell. I slam my fists into his chest and continue to cry. "You're right! I don't love you! I couldn't love an arrogant bastard like you!" I push my way around him and run off, not knowing where I am going, not caring where I'm going. As long as it's far away from Mello. Far away from everything.

(Insert this towards the end of the chapter) Mello's POV

I watch as the girl runs off. My heart still fluttering at her words. Someone like her loves me. I don't believe it. She can't love me, can she? I shouldn't be capable of falling in love either. I've killed people. I'm too good for love anyway. I don't need it.

Anyway, she can't love me. She hates me. I took her away from the stupid brat, Near. I was selfish and used her to get closer to capturing Kira. Not that I feel bad for that, since my goal is to beat Near and capture Kira before he does.

I love Benihime and I didn't tell her. I couldn't tell her. A part of me wishes I told her.

I shove my hands in my pockets and make my way to my hotel room.

------

One Shot –

Itachi instead of Mikami

The door slides open, a man steps out. His hair is long and tied back into a ponytail. He's wearing a long black jacket that has red clouds dotted over it. His eyes are red and appear to be glowing.

"What is your name?" Near asks, not recognising the person at all.

"I'm Itachi Uchiha."

One Shot –

Benihime's 22nd birthday.

1st January 2010

"It's my birthday!" I cheer excitedly. I grab Mello's hand and I tug him off of the sofa into the middle of my room. "We have to do something!"

He rolls his eyes and sighs. "What?"

"We have to go out! Are there any zoos here? A theme park?" I gasp. "A theme park! It'll be just like all the shoujo manga! Except I won't plan it out or anything. We can just go on all of the rides and have so much fun!"

"Jeez." Mello replies. "Fine." He shoots a look at Matt who's sitting on the sofa playing a game on his Gameboy.

"Come on!" I begin to drag Mello to the front door. I pick his shoes up and pass them to him excitedly. I then grab mine and pull them on. I throw a coat at him before pulling on my own. I grab my bag and Mello's hand before leaving the apartment.

***

The theme park is shut as it's New Year's Day. I pout at the sign.

"Don't be sad, Beni. I'll take you another day. How about we buy food and have a picnic? It's not too cold, is it?" I shake my head. "Then let's go." This time Mello takes my hand and leads me to the nearest store.

We grab all the food we want and pay for it, before heading to the park. We find a vacant bench and sit down. Mello passes me my sandwich before taking out his own.

"Thank you," I say before taking a bite out of the bread.

"You're welcome."

When we've finished eating we put all the rubbish in the bag and Mello throws it away in the nearest bin.

"As it's your birthday, I have something to give you." Mello digs around in his pocket before pulling out a small drawstring bag and passes it to me. I undo the bag and take out the necklace inside. I hold it up and examine it. On the end of the chain is a white angel. It's beautiful. The wings are covered with little small gems, and her halo is made out of several little topaz stones. I put the necklace on and give Mello a large smile.

"I love it so much!" I say and wrap my arms around him. "Thank you so much!"

"Happy birthday, Benihime."

One shot –

AU – L and Benihime in a café after Kira has been captured.

"You eat a lot of sugar, so how do you not gain any weight?" I question my brother, who is sat opposite me. He's currently dropping sugar cube after sugar cube into his tea. After about fifty of them, he picks up his spoon and stirs it before taking a sip of it.

"I found that using my brain a lot helps burn calories."

"Interesting..." I comment. "So, what is your opinion on mine and Mello's relationship?"

"I'm not sure whether I agree with it... you are my little sister and he's my successor. I guess it can't be too bad." He concludes, pressing a finger to his top lip.

I take a sip of my tea and think of another question to ask him.

"Was Light really your first friend?" I ask him, curiosity getting the better of me.

"Yes." He drinks a little bit more of his tea.

"What is your real name?"

"L Lawliet."

"Huh, it's weird like mine. I wonder why that is?"

"Weird names are harder to guess."

"True."

I take a bite out of my chocolate cake. I look at L who is eyeing it. I grab my knife and cut a bit off, offering it to my brother who takes it happily.

"Thanks." He says. I roll my eyes.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed these extra chapters! 

I'll be posting the epilogue tomorrow :3

Question: So what fanfiction should I write next? Should I start a new Death Note one? I have an idea about a world where Light did win and what it may be like. Or should I finish my Naruto AU?
