A/N: Any time I say something like dulled when any one of the characters are talking about Cleos' or Cleopatras' fangs I mean that she can't harm anyone with them because anytime she tries to bite something her fangs are pushed up in her mouth by the thing she is trying to bite, plus her fangs are slightly rounded at the tip instead of sharp like most other snakes.

My ideas for stories are in this order 1) Family Nightmares 2) Twins Envy 3) Ryuzakis' Guilty Shinigami 4) Blood Gem Curse 5) Double the Reason, Double the Fear 6) Higher Ups, Team Up 7) Demon But Human 8) Multifarious Demon 9) ninth story idea (I don't know what to name it actually) 10) Fates Hand Has Been Dealt, is it a Mistake or Reality

First three are Death note the next three are Black Butler the next two are Blue Exorcist and the last one is Naruto fan fics. the ones that I write on paper or write prior to writing on my computer to me are better than the ones I just write on my computer.


Chapter one: Calla Lily University

Sachikos' POV

"Light Kira come down here please, you have breakfast on the table" I yelled to my brilliant sons.

"We're coming mom" they both yelled back.

Lights' POV

"Light we're going to be late getting down stairs, we're both males not to mention related, so why do I have to stay out here?!" I heard Kira, my older twin brother, yell from outside the bathroom door. "One moment Kira!" I yelled back while changing quickly into my white long sleeved turtle neck, black tie, and black khakis pants.

"Ok I'm coming out now!" I yelled through the door. I opened the door to see my brother holding out my plain black leather satchel with his red and black bag on his shoulders, he has the same mask on again. Why does he always wear a mask on around me?

Oh well, I'll ask later I thought smiling as I grabbed my bag from my brother before thanking him. "Light Kira come down here please, you have breakfast on the table" I heard mom yell from downstairs, Kira apparently heard as well because the both of us yelled "we're coming mom" in unison.

Than we bolted to the door, towards the hallway, then through the hallway, and down the stairs. "Hi mom" Kira and I both said cheerfully.

Sachikos' POV

I turned my head towards the stairs, since I heard hurried footsteps heading that way, to see my boys racing down the steps. My husband is probably correct about our boys always putting masks up.

Light seems so sad yet he always smiles, Kira seems so angry and envious it seems to be, yet HE always smiles. What is going on with both of them?

Light seemed so happy before graduation and Kira never seemed very happy around Light after they started talking.

What happened to them? "Hi mom" both said breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Hello darlings, your food is on the table. Which Light actually eat this time instead of feeding it to Cleo" I said smiling at both of them. "Ok mom, I won't feed Cleo my food, but Kira can't give Aries his food either" my son said staring at the oldest of my twins.

"Kira, have you really been feeding your food to Aries?" I asked my other son. "Yes" Kira said looking down at the floor, I hope he doesn't think I'll punish him for it, I better choose my next words carefully. "Ok, than please don't do it again, alright" I told them while they were eating breakfast.

"Ok, both of you have fun at school, work hard, and for the millionth time make friends" I told them cheerfully.

Lights' POV

"I so hope we'll get to make friends at college" I said hoping to sound cheery instead of nervous on our walk to school. "Same. Although I already have a few friends from high school that said they're going here, and I know you have a lot of friends too Light. I mean why wouldn't you?" Kira asked chuckling at me.

I guess you couldn't tell that the people who hanged around me in high school were people who tended to bully me or use me for one reason or another, I guess that's to my advantage that you don't know.

"Hey there you are! It's so good to see you, I haven't seen you since high school. Aren't you glad we go to the same university Light" a voice I haven't heard since high school said from behind me and I flinched when he ruffled my hair. "Y-Ye-Yeah it's good to see you to" I said stuttering.

"Have you decided if you're going to join the KC-" Jason started to ask before I cut him off, "sorry, but I'm already in many clubs" I said cutting him off so he won't ask that question in front of anyone, especially my family.

"Now I have to find a place to meet up with Kira after school, bye" I said quickly grabbing Kiras' arm and dragging him into the school.

"Ok, what was that about Light?" my brother asked when I stopped dragging him around. "It was nothing Kira, just someone I used to know in middle school (1) and at a job I used to have" I told him trying to calm my breathing. "When did you get a job Light? I thought dad gave you money for your help in solving cases?" Kira asked cocking his head to the right in confusion.

$3 every case wouldn't have helped me much in paying for the computer you wanted I said in my head.

"He does, but what I wanted the money for was something I wanted to earn on my own" I partly lied, I did want to earn it on my own, but I kind of had to computers cost a lot. "What do you have for first period?" I asked putting my mask back on and hoping to change the subject in the process.

"I have criminology first period" he said smiling, "and you?" he asked in return. "I have mathematics first" I said sadly, I don't want brother to leave, I feel safer when he's around.

"Don't worry little brother, I'm sure you'll do great in class" Kira said smiling at me. "Thank you brother, and I know you'll do great in criminology" I said smiling at him, but being good in school isn't what's bothering me.

Kiras' POV

I know he's lying when he says that, I mean why would someone wear a mask around their twin unless they're hiding something. I put up a mask around him so he won't see how jealous and angry he makes me, he probably puts on a mask around me to hide the pride he has on his face about being great at everything.

"Class take your seats and listen up please" I turned my head around to the front of the room to see who was speaking, because that voice sounds oddly familiar.

Wha-What is dad doing here? I thought he had work. "My boss wanted me and the deputy chief to teach the universities criminology classes, so young minds aspiring to work in criminal law can learn more about it or see which one of the criminal law careers they want when they get their degree after college" my father told the class.

Okay that makes sense now, "now does anyone-" father started before I went back to staring out the window blocking him out in the process. I wonder what Light is doing in class, I bet he's writing down notes and being a goody-two-shoes right now.

Mean while

Terra Marks' POV

"Hello class, welcome to mathematics. My name is Terra Marks, but you can call me Mrs. Terra, I'll be your teacher the rest of the school year." I told the class.

"Now any questions before I start todays class?" I asked them, "yes young lady?" I asked when I saw a young girl raise her hand. "Who's the boy sitting alone staring out the window?" the young girl asked pointing to her left. I followed where she was pointing to see a young man staring out the window.

"Young man what is your name?" I asked him, "me? My name is Yagami" I heard the young man answer 'seems like he's from Japan' I thought as I grabbed the roster off my desk and searched for his name.

"His name is Raito Mrs. Takada" I said in response to the young girls question after I found his name on the roster, his name was on the top of the list.

Lights' POV

"Young man what is your name?" I heard Mrs. Terra ask breaking me out of my thoughts. I guess she's talking to me since she was looking in my direction.

"Me? My name is Yagami" I told her before looking back out the window again, remembering the job I took to get my brother a new computer for his birthday, which is also my birthday.

I worked at a gay strip bar which paid more than I thought it would, but I got the five hundred and twenty dollars (2) and more to get Kira the computer that he said he wanted. Though I wish I didn't work there specifically because I probably would not have met Kamen Carter and the rest of his gang.

Jason was the only one who knew who I was, the others thought I was Strider Cryterman, to me that's a strange name for someone to have since it was an alias and not a nickname.

I definitely don't want to join the KC gang (3), I cannot see him again, not after saying no to him when he asked me out at graduation when no one was around. My family was in the lobby when he approached me near the stage and asked me that question.

Bring Bring Bring

When I heard the bell ring I grabbed my book bag so I could head to my criminology class, I want to see if I'll have Frederik or dad as a teacher.

I walked out the door of the classroom so I could head to the career study wing of the school, when I reached the classroom I was ecstatic to see that Frederik was my teacher this year.

I walked over to the middle row of desks next to the window, instead of the row in the back close to the window.

"Hello class I'll be your criminology teacher this year" Frederik announced as he entered the classroom. "We'll be receiving an exchange student from England later on in the class period, as for me being a teacher here at Calla Lily University and deputy chief of police here in L.A., I will talk about that when everyone is here." He said taking a breath before speaking again, "as for what you'll be doing until then you will need out your textbook that you will find inside of your desk, the assignment I will be giving you is to read all 767 pages (4) of the textbook (5) not including the glossary, table of contents, vocabulary section, and section questions" he announced to the class.

30 minutes later

Knock Knock "Hello sorry I'm late" a monotonous voice said making me look up from my textbook that I'm almost finished with (6) and gasped at the figure slouching in the doorway.

"Oh it's alright, we knew you would be late getting here today, may you please occupy the seat next to Raito the only one that seems to be almost finished with the textbook I asked everyone to read while waiting for you to arrive" Mr. Takada said pointing to the seat next to mine.

"Of course Mr. Takada" the new student said walking towards me 'he looks so beautiful' I thought as he walked up the steps to sit down. "Hello" he said with a slight smile but still in monotone. "Hello, my name is Raito Yagami, may I ask yours?" I asked slightly nervous that someone was talking to me.

"My name's Ryuzaki" he answered his smile never faltering, after he answered I went back to looking out the window until Ryuzaki passed me a note, which I read of course.

~You seem a little sad, what's wrong Raito-kun?

I was only barely taken aback that he noticed something was wrong, since rarely anyone ever does. Then again I was looking out the window, which is what people normally do when something is wrong, so as to not be rude I wrote back a reply.

~Well yes, you're actually the first that seemed to notice or directly call me out on that, so I'm partly surprised you noticed.

I handed him back the note, as he read I noticed he was holding it with his thumb and pointer finger while he sat in a somewhat odd position, but I won't ask why since there's probably a reason for it. He doesn't seem like someone who would do something for no reason.

Once he was done reading he set it down and started scribbling something on the paper before handing it back to me. It read

~ does that mean Raito-kun has someone who should notice things like that? If so who should notice Raito-kun?

I scribed down my answers to his questions.

~yes I do a twin whose a few seconds older than me, a mom a dad plus someone else.

I don't know why I'm telling a stranger this, oh well, I guess the saying I keep hearing is correct. He started scribbling another reply, but stopped when the bell rang.

"I guess it's time to head to our next class" he said with a slight frown. "I guess so, will I see you tomorrow or some other time today?" to which he immediately perked up when I asked.

"I know I will see you tomorrow, but any other time today I guess we'll have to wait and see, see you later Raito-kun" he said as we walked out the door. "I look forward to finding out Ryuzaki, see you later" I said smiling as we parted ways to our next class.

Kiras' POV

"Hello Kira I didn't know you were here!" shrieked a blonde girl running from her seat to jump on me, I was almost too late to catch her but I did while I was standing in the doorway.

"Hello Misa" I grunted out when she jumped on me. "It's good to see you again, how was your summer?" I asked the overly optimistic and energetic girl in my arms as I tried to get her to let go of me so I could head to my seat.

"It was great! I went to Paris, Bolivia, Indonesia, and Spain on my tour" Misa said excitedly, "well aren't you a lucky actress/model" I said in a joyful tone.

"I see Misa is as energetic as ever" three familiar voices said from behind me. "Yes she is Near Mello and Matt, now can you help me get her off, I'm pretty sure Mrs. Terra won't be too happy if she can't get into her own classroom" I said in a somewhat strangled tone.

"Of course sorry Kira" Matt said apologetically before the three boys came to help get her off of me. "Thank you" I told them as they got Misa off of me just in time for the bell to ring. "Ok class take your seats" a female voice called out as we took our seats next to the windows. Me and Mello by the window in the front two rows, Misa next to me, Matt next to Mello and Near next to Matt.

"So Kira, do you and Light still have a Philippine cobra and cockatoo as pets?" Mello asked turning around to face me, "yes Light still has a Philippine cobra, harmless as ever, and I still have a cockatoo" I said angry that my brother found a not so dangerous snake as it is supposed to be.

"How can a Philippine cobra the 7th deadliest snake in the world be harmless" Misa half shrieked. "Easy Cleopatra had all the poison drained out of her by poachers and has spent a lot of time around Light the Kindest person in the world" I said sarcastically.

"So you still don't like your brother than?" Mello asked, "of course I don't like my brother, he's popular, smart, beautiful, and the perfect son" I said aggravated at Mellos' obvious statement.

"Um you sound more envious than mad at him and he didn't seem that popular in high school, other than his boyfriend that he broke up with when he turned fifteen, and the people who ask him for help after you turn them down when they ask you for help" Near stated monotonously while playing with his toy robot he named after his brother.

"Yeah right, Light's always around that kid, and he's to kind to turn down the helpless when they ask for help. That's why he got Cleopatra, because her venom was gone and her fangs were and still are dulled so she can't kill anything for food and can't protect herself either" I said scuffing at Near for his statement.

"Aww that's why he got her, that is so sweet of him to help a defenseless creature" Misa said hands locked underneath her chin. "He's not sweet Misa, just useless. He said he wanted a Taipan (7) not a defenseless snake" I scuffed at her as well.

"Don't be mad baby, I didn't mean to say he's sweet, I meant to say he should have just left the poor thing where he found her" (8) Misa said as she clung to my arm and looked up at me with sad eyes. "It's fine darling, just don't-"

"I'm sorry miss, but this is Ratios' twin brother Kira" Near said interrupting my talk with Misa. "Near what are you talking about?" I asked glaring at him. "The teacher asked you a question, confusing you with your brother" Near said in his usual monotone voice.

"Okay" I said slightly confused as to why he answered like that since my brother's name is Light not Raito.

Bring Bring Bring

Oh well "see you guys later I have to head to AP World History, so bye" I said smiling and giving Misa a quick kiss on the cheek before walking down the steps to the door.

"Get a room lovebirds" I heard Mello say in a mocking tone before I walked out the door to head to my next class, says the one who's sleeping with a game obsessed peace maker, I said in my head rolling my eyes as I walked to my next class.

Oh hey it's Light "Light!" I yelled to get his attention which for some reason failed so I tried again but this time I tapped on his shoulder.

"Hey Light" I said as I tapped his shoulder, he jumped when I did though, I did as well since I never seen Light jump before so it scared me somewhat. "Oh hey, I didn't hear you call my name, so sorry for that" my brother said smiling at me when he did so.

At least he doesn't have a mask up this time, so he is happy to see me that's slightly good I think. "Its fine, you don't have to apologize Light, I'm the one who should apologize. I did scare you after all" I said smiling apologetically at him.

"Did you want to sit down?" Light asked in a sad tone, of course I'd sit down I have to keep my act up don't I? Though why would he say it like I would say no? "Of course Light, why would I not want to sit next to my kid brother?" I said in answer but in the form of a question.

"Umm look around if you want an answer" he told me and I did out of curiosity to which I was partly shocked to see the other students in the rows farthest from my brother and I, what were they whispering though?

"Have they been like that since I got here?" I asked my little brother who was staring out the window again. "No they've been like that since I walked in here, why do you ask? Is it because you think you're the reason for it? You're wrong if you're implying that" Light said coldly still staring out the window.

What is wrong with him? And these people? (9)

"Hello, what's your name?" a voice behind me asked, "His name is Light, what is yours?" I told her when I turned around. "Why would I want to know his name? I asked yours, and I was wondering if you would like to sit with me and my friends?" she asked twirling her long wavy brown locks.

"Sorry I already agreed to sit next to Light, and my name is Kira" I told her answering both her questions. She leaned in closer and spoke into my ear, "if he's blackmailing you to sit next to him I can tell the teacher" she whispered as my eyes went wide and my body rigid at what she had said.

After she backed up both me and her jumped when we heard a screech of a chair behind me being skidded backwards, just as quickly as the girl and I jumped Light ran past me down the steps. "Light!" I called after him but he didn't stop and just kept running out the door.

"Seems like he got the note on his locker and in class" the girl in front of me said as she snickered. "What note?" I asked grabbing the girls' shoulders, "The note from the last class period, seems like everyone from his last high school goes here now" she said still snickering.

A few moments later Light walked back in and our classmates went back to where they were sitting before he left. "Evening class, I do not like seeing students/people push themselves away from another student/person, so please go back to where you were before he came back into the room please" a tall man with short black hair and glasses said as he entered the room.

"My name is Mr. Teru and you will address me as such, now all of you grab out a book and start reading it, we're going to have a test in two weeks on the book, so make sure you finish it" the teacher announced.

"Ok that seems like too much for the students don't you think Light?" I asked my brother who's still staring out the window. "Light? Are you listening?" I asked tapping his shoulder, "yes I'm listening Kira" he said still staring out the window.

Lights' POV

Why do people have to do this? I know verbal abuse breaks people faster than physical abuse but still, there's no reason why people should want me dead. My brothers smart, beautiful, and popular yet he doesn't get abused, than again he doesn't even see it.

I'd do almost anything to be my brother so I won't get bullied every day. I'd have a great boyfriend instead of the one I had for five years who's in a gang. "Light? Are you listening?" Kira asked getting me out of my thoughts by tapping my shoulder. "Yes I'm listening Kira" I lied still staring out the window.

"Light we have to read the book for homework/classwork and such" Kira said getting my attention, "ok sorry about that brother" I said grabbing a book from inside my desk.

I read close to half the book before the bell rang for us to go to our next class, I walked with brother to our AP Biology class. To which I sat down next to the window to look out the window again like I always do before the teacher comes in.

"Hello class my name is Katelyn Carter, but you can call me Mrs. Carter or Mrs. Katelyn, either one is fine with me" a women from the front said. She looked over her roster as I sat frozen in my seat, please don't notice me, please don't notice me, I chanted in my head.

"Oh Light and Kira" oh no "it's been so long since I've seen both of you" she said looking towards me and my brother. "Hello Mrs. Carter, how are you?" I asked trying to be as polite as possible frozen. "Light do you know her?" Kira asked next to me.

"Yes we both do, she's Kamen Carters mom" I said still frozen, "I'd love to answer and catch up more, but I have to start class now, alright?" she asked and we both nodded. "Ok class grab out your books and turn to page 230 and read till page 237 before answering questions 1-23 on page 238" as she gave us the classwork/homework I tried my best to move my arms and upper body so I can grab the book that's under my desk so I can work on the assignment. To my relief I was able to.

Both Kira and I finished an hour into class so we went over to Mrs. Carters' desk, and placed them on her beautifully polished red wood desk before heading back up the steps to our sleek black granite desks.

"Who's Kamen Carter? Is he a friend of yours?" Kira asked me, "he's something yes" I answered him. He's a guy who asked me out at graduation when no one was around, I said no, he got mad, and threatened me before you, mom, and dad came looking for me. He said I'll pay for telling him no, I said in my head not wanting to tell him about it, which was a mistake.

"What is he then? A lover?" no I shuttered as my veins went cold again, "a friend?" no "or a customer at the job you used to work at?" he asked. "The last one you mentioned" I said shuttering when I remembered how I met him there. "Okay" Kira said staring at me.

Bring Bring Bring

"Ok I have to go to lunch" Kira said putting his stuff in his bag and getting up to head out the class room, "ok I'll see you after school than, I have to head to study hall" I told my brother as I headed down the steps with my bag over my shoulder.

"Goodbye Light, have fun in study hall" he said back before walking out the door. I hope I'll know someone who doesn't wish me ill in my next periods, I thought before I was hit in the back of my head with a paper airplane.

I picked it up to find hand writing on it, oh great another note what does this one say, I said in my head groaning when I opened it to read:

~Hi Strider, it's great to see you again. You really should not have said no to Kamen at graduation.

From,

496789

Oh no, I think I'm going to be sick. I ran to the nearest bathroom and threw up (10) what I had eaten of my breakfast into the toilet.

Ls' POV

Did I just see Raito run into the restroom? He looked a little green, I hope he's okay, I better go check on him. I walked into the restroom to hear someone throwing up in the first stall, I walked to the stall and knocked on it to see if they were ok.

"Hello are you ok in there?" I asked when I knocked. "Ryuzaki is that you?" the person who was throwing up said from inside the stall. "Yes it is Ryuzaki, are you alright Raito?" I asked again.

"Yes I'm fine" Raito said as he opened the door to the stall after the toilet was flushed. "Hello Ryuzaki, what are you doing here?" he asked when he walked to the sink to most likely wipe his mouth off and get the taste out of his mouth.

Lights' POV

While I waited for Ryuzaki to answer my question I washed the taste out of my mouth when I got to the sink. "I saw you run into the restroom and you looked a little sick" he answered after a while. Of course the one I like would be the one to see me like this.

"Okay, well I have to head to study hall so if you'll excuse me Ryuzaki I have to go" I said not wanting to be even more late to class. "I'll go with you, I have study hall as well" he said in his normal monotone voice making me stop in the restrooms' doorway.

"You do as well" I said shaking. I would be glad that I get to hang out with him next hour, but him asking me why I'm going to class instead of home outweighs my excitement. "Yes I do" he said in answer, "ok we can walk together" I said entering the hallway so we can walk to our shared class.

"We're here" Ryuzaki said as he stopped in front of the polished elm wood double doors of the library to look back at me, most likely to make sure he didn't lose me in the hallway, before he opened one of the double doors to enter the library.

"Hello, I'm glad both of you could make it to class" said the stern yet chipper voice of the female teacher, "yes, we are truly sorry for our impolite intrusion a few minutes after the bell has already rung, Mrs. Rayder" Ryuzaki said making me look up from the floor to meet the familiar eyes of Mikayla Rayder. Oh no, oh no, oh no, not again, not another parent.

"Hello Light, it's good to see you again, why haven't you been around lately?" Mrs. Rayder asked me while I stayed frozen in place unable to move, "Do you know her Raito?" Ryuzaki asked staring at me. Why? Why me? I asked the library's ceiling.

"No I do not Ryuzaki" I said hoping he won't notice my feet aren't moving from their spot on the floor. "Mrs. Rayder I think you confused me with someone else, would you mind taking another look at your roster?" I asked her keeping my voice as straight as my body will let me.

"Oh yes, sorry Raito I apparently thought you were someone else, so sorry dear" she said when she looked back up from her electronic roster. I'll thank her later for playing along though I'm glad she called me by my now legal name, I thought as I let go of a breath I've been holding in.

Ls' POV

What was that about? I know Raitos' name is actually Light, but I don't know why his teachers call him Raito and why he corrects them when they're wrong. I could probably ask him the next time I see him or here tomorrow. I would like to dig up more information on Light and his brother before I ask either or both of them to join me, their father, and the rest of the L.A. task force to help in catching the drug gang who has been carving numbers into their victims causing them to bleed out.

We headed to sit down at a table next to the criminal law section of the library before Light took his homework out of his bag and set it on the table to work on it. "Raito what do you have for homework?" I asked him, "umm the rest of my AP World History book and I think that's about it" he said tapping his chin before he actually answered.

"Is that a lot?" I asked him hoping to be able to talk to him a little so I can get more information from him, since I don't have his brother in any of my classes. "Umm I finished over one hundred pages before the bell rang signaling class to be over so I probably have around one hundred more, so I don't think so why?" he said. I was a little surprised when he said one hundred pages aren't a lot for him, oh well, that gives more of a hint on how hard he works.

Lights' POV

Why is he asking me that? Is he wanting to talk to me more because we didn't finish our conversation earlier? No impossible people are glad to finish a conversation with me. He's probably just trying to be polite, yea that's it, I'll just have to answer his question or questions, "Umm I finished over one hundred pages before the bell rang signaling class to be over so I probably have around one hundred more, so I don't think so why?" I said a little doubtful as to why he asked

"No reason just wanted to know" he said looking a little bored, "well I'll have to memorize the book a lot faster for the test in two weeks" I said smiling at him.

I started reading so I can hopefully talk to him before study hall ends, when I finished memorizing the book, Ryuzaki seemed to notice because I heard him say something about my work.

"I'm sorry, what Ryuzaki?" I asked so I could hear what I missed him saying, "uh I asked if you were done yet since you seem close to finished" he said in reply to my question, so in return I answered as well. "Yes I am done and it only took me" I paused to look at my watch to see how long it took me to finish and finished my sentence, "around fifty-seven minutes, now we only have thirty minutes to talk" I said sadly.

"That's fine Raito it's no big deal, at least we get to talk" Ryuzaki said in his usual monotone. "That's true so what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked him, "I want to get to know you better" he said which resulted in me falling out of my chair in surprise.

Ls' POV

"Are you okay?" I asked Light who seemed surprised at my response to his question, my response however did seem oddly truthful for something professional. When Light just stared at me I decided to walk over and help him up.

"Are you okay?" I asked again as I held my hand out for him to take, "Ye-Yeah I'm fine" he stammered as he took my hand to help him up. "Okay now that you're seated I was wondering if you had anyone else living with you?" I asked keeping my face blank.

"Yes I do" he answered letting out a breath in the process, "would you care to elaborate?" I asked. "Not really much difference between other normal families, I have a mom, a dad, a brother, and four pets" he said, I knew he lived with his family but four pets I thought they only had three. I figured they had a variety of pet species do to chief Yagamis' job, but their profile said nothing about getting another pet. I'm glad this is the place they chose to live till Mr. Yagami retires because I need them to help me find clues to who the drug gang is and where they are.

"Have you lived in any other places besides L.A.?" I asked a, for some reason, shocked Light, "yes I have, I have lived in Japan, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and Egypt" he answered.

"What do you-" Bring Bring Bring

Lights' POV

Bring Bring Bring

"Guess we have to go Ryuzaki. I have to go to lunch, but I hope to see you later today" I said hurriedly so I can go to lunch before meeting Kira, "wait!" I heard Ryuzaki yell, so I stopped to hear what he has to say. "Yes Ryuzaki?" I asked while standing in the middle of the doorway.

"I have lunch this period also, so let's walk together" he said smiling, I was afraid of this I don't need my life to be spoken of or made fun of by someone I don't know very well. "Alright Ryuzaki" I said giving in since he'll probably sit next to me anyway, "great" he said as he passed me out the door.

I headed to the cafeteria to find a table for both of us to sit down at while we eat for the next hour, I found a table in the far corner near the floor to ceiling window facing the Calla Lily Gardens. "This place seems perfect enough don't you think Ryuzaki?" I asked said person.

"Yes but what if people sit down next to us?" he asked in return. I looked around and noticed everyone was backing father away from us, but I have a feeling it's just me they're backing away from. "It's fine Ryuzaki, I don't think anyone will bother us" I replied sadly.

As we sat down and I was about to take a bite of my soy burger, my hands stilled when a voice called my name. "Light! Can I sit with you and your friend?" Jason yelled from across the room, directing everyone's' attention towards the sound and of course me.

"No Jason you cannot and my name is Raito not Light, so don't call me that" I said as anger boiled inside me melting my frozen veins that made my hands immobile when he yelled across the room. "Raito? Who is that young man?" Ryuzaki asked next to me, "just some weirdo is all Ryuzaki" I told him.

"Oh Raito, how you wound me so" Jason said in a fake hurting voice with a hand clutching the fabric of his shirt that is over his heart. "So have you thought about joining? Or is it still a no?" he asked making my blood boil even more, "I'm going to give the same answer that I gave two years ago and this morning, no" I said hoping to sound calm and collected rather than angry at my ex.

"Oh, but why? The-" Jason started but wasn't able to finish because I punched him in the jaw before he could, "ah Raito I see you haven't forgotten how to fight, now I definitely know you should join" Jason said cracking his jaw back into place.

"Raito what is he talking about?" I heard Ryuzaki ask from his seat at the table behind me, "nothing Ryuzaki, really, just an MMA club I'm already in" I said hoping Jason won't correct my purposely misplaced error, though I've never had that good of luck. "Raito don't lie to your new found friend," Jason tried to finish but I pulled him closer to say, in hopefully low enough voice so no one else could hear.

"Don't you dare mention the KC gang in front of anyone here, especially Kira and Ryuzaki" I whispered in his ear. "Do you not remember what your voice does to me Raito?" he replied in a hoarse voice. "Yes I do, I can feel it on my thigh" I said growling at him.

"Ryuzaki I'll be right back. If I don't come back in the next forty minutes tell my brother to walk home without me" I told a wide-eyed Ryuzaki. "Ok Raito" replied Ryuzaki with his eyes still wide, I so hope he did not take me growling the wrong way. I do not need him avoiding me like the others do.

"Where are we going?" Jason asked as I dragged him out into the hallway, trying to find a quiet, empty place to talk with the jerk.

Ls' POV

What the frick, where did Raito learn to hit someone like that? I think I heard his jaw crack I thought as I stared wide-eyed at the scene playing in front of me. "Ah Raito I see you haven't forgotten how to fight, now I definitely know you should join" the strange man said cracking his jaw. How is he still standing? By the sound of that crack he should be out cold or at least have a broken jaw, yet he seems unfazed.

"Raito what is he talking about?" I asked out of curiosity, to which I earned "nothing Ryuzaki, really, just an MMA club I'm already in" he answered. Huh? He's in mixed martial arts? I guess that would make sense, but why is he in an MMA club?

"Raito don't lie to your new found friend," the strange man said before Raito pulled him closer to whisper something in his ear that I didn't hear, "Do you not remember what your voice does to me Raito?" he asked Raito but I could barely hear how he said it to get what he meant by that.

Hearing what Raito growled though and placing the pieces together resulted in my eyes growing wide with what I came up with, "Ryuzaki I'll be right back, but if I don't come back in the next forty minutes tell my brother to walk home without me" Raito told me, the only thing I could get out was an "okay Raito"

Lights' POV

"In here" I growled as I pushed him into an abandoned janitor's closet, "hey!" he yelled as I did so. "Oh be quiet" I told him when he yelled, "I'm already way past my boiling point with you" I said.

"But-" he said before I told him to be quiet again, "I still have something to say, in fact I didn't even finish what I was trying to say" I told him mater-of-factly.

After I tried to get my breathing down I started to speak again "you came far too close to telling two people I care about about my past with you and your gang" I said trying not to break. "I broke up with you because you started changing when we entered high school, I stayed with you for two years after I noticed you changed into something I didn't like" I said with hopefully an empty expression.

"I keep saying no for a reason, as well as asking for my parents to legally change my name for a reason. I will only agree to join the KC gang when I'm forced to no other way, do you understand me?" I asked hopefully getting my point across.

"Yes, crystal clear" he answered back "but" he continued "when you do agree to join are you going to wear that sexy outfit you wore at Seven Minutes in Heaven?" he asked. Why does he have to mention that clichéd named place.

I thought about it for a moment, I already knew my answer since I think their killings and illegal sales of drugs and alcohol to buyers around the world will be one of my dad's cases soon enough, if it isn't already. So…

"Yes, but only because I think you guys still go there" I responded, he seemed quite confused at why I answered like that. I smirked when I was proven correct "what do you mean Light?" he asked cocking his head to the left.

"I'm planning on getting a job there again when your gangs' killings and sales of drugs and alcohol reach my father" I said making his jaw dropped. "Aw did I make the great Rayder speechless" I said mockingly making him close his mouth.

"No, but I think we should play the game your workplace is named after" he said in a seductive manner closing the distance between us. "Tempting" I said opening the door and tripping him when he got close enough to where he could not react fast enough.

"but no" I said smirking when he landed face first onto the floor, but because I'm such a nice guy I bent down and bit slightly on his ear before placing a kiss onto the same spot that I bit, before helping the blushing embarrassed Jason off the floor.

Ls' POV

I waited for them to get back wondering what was taking them so long, at the thirty minute mark I decided to get up and look for them, wherever they went, but when I turned I saw that people were staring at two students about to walk into the cafeteria.

"Hey Ryuzaki, sorry we took so long" Raito said as he walked past everyone dragging the guy from earlier by the arm, but there's something different about that guy he's… he's.. he's blushing, I gasped when they got closer and I could see the blush.

"Sorry about earlier, this is Jason Rayder" Raito said looking at me but gesturing to the blushing young man, Rayder isn't that our study hall advisors' last name? Yes it is, why did he lie about knowing her if he seems to be more than acquainted to this young man.

Lights' POV

"You're wondering why I lied when I said I didn't know Mrs. Rayder" I said observing the slight twitch under Ryuzakis left eye. "Yes how'd you know?" he asked, what seems to me, slightly taken aback by my observation. "I'm not telling you why until I tell my family that part, since I haven't yet" I said without thinking.

"Just ignore that last part Ryuzaki" I said nervously, "its fine Raito, already forgotten" he said laughing, all of a sudden I started laughing as well. I stopped laughing though when I felt my phone vibrating in my jeans so I went to go grab it.

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket to find a text from an unknown number on the screen, I opened the message instantly regretting the action because my veins turned to ice when I read it.

~hi Strider I hope you didn't forget about me and what you did to Kamen.

"Raito? Are you okay? You look a little pale" Ryuzaki asked making me look up from my phone because he sounded genuinely worried, "I just have to meet up with my brother at the Calla Lily Gardens so we can walk home together" I said when I saw my brother in the gardens with a blonde girl and felt myself grow colder. The more lies I tell the colder I seem to get, what is wrong with me?

"Ok, than I'll see you tomorrow" Ryuzaki said frowning a bit, "why don't you come with me, you can meet my brother as well" I suggested. To add to my excitement he smiled and agreed.

After a few minutes of talking about the world and its troubles my smile grew when I found that he's as smart as, possibly smarter than myself, and he actually listened to what I had to say. Too soon we reached the Calla Lily Gardens, "Light" my brother called as he waved to me and Ryuzaki. "Hey Kira" I answered waving back.

"Hi Raito!" a blonde girl next to my brother shrieked running towards me than grabbing my arm to hold on to, "hi Misa, I haven't seen you since graduation" I shuttered when I mentioned the dreaded day that started most of my nightmares. "Hey Light are you alright?" Kira asked me "he threw up earlier this morning after his AP Biology class ended" Ryuzaki said to answer his question though I don't think that has to do with right now.

"Yes that is correct, but I'm fine now brother" I answered "when did Misa get back from her tour?" I asked hoping to avoid this conversation as long as possible, knowing Kira as long as I have he won't give up and I bet my life, Cleos' life and Ryuzakis' life that my conclusion of Ryuzaki is that he's as stubborn as my brother.

"She got back before school started up, I was surprised to find her jumping into my arms when I was in the middle of Mrs. Terras' class room door though" he said laughing when Misa switched from my arm to his waist before continuing his story. "I had to wait for Matt, Mello, and Near to help get her off me before we could head to our seats" he said still laughing as he picked a Chrysanthemum from the many beautiful flowers in the garden.

"It must have been hard to get her off of you if you had to get help from three people, I guess she missed you a lot than" I said laughing with my older brother. "Raito?" Ryuzaki asked tugging on the sleeves of my turtle neck, "yes Ryuzaki?" I asked in return. "Does Kira actually like Misa or is he just using her?" he asked me and I frowned when I realized what he meant by that.

"Yes he does, he loves Misa a lot" I said answering his question "then why does he seem to be putting on an act?" he asked. I wasn't really surprised he noticed, but he thought the mask was for his girlfriend instead of me he was putting a mask up for. "It's half a mask Ryuzaki" I said finally.

"What do you mean half a mask?" he asked cocking his head to the left "his mask is partially on because I'm here, the mask is for me not her" I said trying to blink back the tears that are trying to form in my eyes. "And you noticed even though you were laughing with him?" he asked head still cocked "yes but a half masked twin is better than a 99.9% masked twin in my opinion, don't you think?" I told him.

I looked back at my brother and Misa to notice that he doesn't even know I'm here, I turned around and ran knowing he won't notice until Misa does. "Raito!" I heard Ryuzaki call out, but I just kept running without looking back at the two people I care about the most.


A/N: I think this is considered a long chapter so sorry if you don't like long chapters and also sorry if this is horrible it's my second fan fiction my first is Family Nightmares. I have anxiety so I doubt any of my fanfics will be any good.

1) He knew him in middle school to, but he changed when they got into high school, so I put middle school instead of high school.

2) The computer cost $550 minus $30 form the 10 cases Light help solve when he was younger than 14, he had $8830 left after he bought the computer. He worked 2 hours for 187 days, the job he worked paid $25 an hour.

3) The gang that Kamen is the leader of, Kamen is Jason's partner in the gang and Jason is also the co-leader of the gang.

4) So only 692 pages, 20 pages glossary and vocab section which is 40, section questions 2 pages but 15 sections which is 30, table of contents 15 pages. Random numbers by the way.

5) A small, thick textbook with about 70-150 words on each page. Again random numbers.

6) 498 pages he has read so far. Random number.

7) Harmless one he just doesn't know that part.

8) Light found her in a zoo in one of the countries he lived in he got her before he was in middle school. The zookeeper was selling her to anyone who wanted her, a guy who wanted her to skin or experiment on so Light said he would take her. He paid 10,000 for her the other guy only had 5,000 to buy her with. 10,000 is not even close to how much he values her, the money the zookeeper would get for selling her would pay for the other animals at the zoo.

9) They used to go to high school with Light and yourself, they were the ones who used to and still do bully Light.

10) He does that when he's worried in this story.
