“You’re such an idiot Takeo…Come on lets go.” Takeo took her hand and they lead the way to the Dining Hall. “So, does anyone know how to cook? I mean, without anyone here besides us, there could be some problems…”
“Hey wait. What do you mean? Aren’t there people in the kitchens?” Raven looked at them. They just looked at each other. Finally Takeo answered,
“Well right now the only people we know of are we and two others who are heading to the arena right now…” He looked at the ground. “Actually I’m afraid that there’s no one else alive…”
Raven’s head snapped around, “What did you say?” She stared at him until he looked up into her eyes. His eyes were streaming with tears.
“They’re all freaking dead!” He yelled and punched the wall next to him. The other three stared at him as he slid to the floor.
“Well actually we haven’t found evidence of them all being dead yet Takeo.” Dai said, as she gently put her hand on his shoulder.
“But neither have we seen any evidence of anyone being alive,” said L from behind them. Dai glared at him in a way that said, “You’re not helping here!” L looked down at the floor, abashed.
Raven looked at the three of them in shock, “B-but my brother…he was supposed to be here…” Now it was there turn to look in shock at her.
“What was his name?” L asked in a whisper.
“His name was James Tomoshibi,” she muttered, holding back her tears. L almost fell to the floor on astonishment.
“Well how’s that for coincident,” L exclaimed, looking at Raven. “He’s my Dorm partner…” Raven and Dai looked at him. Raven ran over to him.
“Then he’s alive!?” she looked at him with watery eyes. Her black bangs were hanging over one of her eyes.
“Possibly, but we don’t know who is and who isn’t. After we eat we’re going to go find our friends in the arena. We hope the people are there…” L answered.

After they had all finished the food they had made individually, they started off to the armory to pick a weapon for Raven. After they had looked through the entire building she finally found a double dagger set of weapons that worked for her. They also found some clothes that fit her- which were found while Takeo and L sat up against the wall outside.
When Dai and Raven came outside, Raven really looked the part of an adventurer. She had the two daggers attached to her belt behind her and she was wearing a plain white shirt and jeans, but she also had some leather armor on her chest. Dai had the same thing on. Takeo laughed at them, until Dai kicked him. L stood up and helped Takeo up.
Now that they were all ready they took off for the Arena. Takeo led the party with Dai at his side, holding his hand. L followed behind them talking to Raven.
“So what does ‘L’ stand for then?” Raven asked L.
“Well, my real name is Eluminai Genkaku, but I prefer to be called L…”
