A/N: I've recently taken a liking to writing about Beyond Birthday so that explains why I'm writing this. This will contain Yaoi, LxLight and onesided LxBB. There's spoilers for everything, and lots of changes in the sequence of how the story rolls... YOU'LL SEE IF YOU READ! Argh..! Anyway, blood voilence and lots of dark shadowyness that is going to eat you! You have been warned.

Prologue

"I'm home!" Light called as he walked through the doors of his house. He just finished talking to Ryuga Hideki (no, not the teen idol, more like the World's Greatest Detective, L) as he started to take off his shoes. He rubbed his tired eyes. Everything has been busy. School, passing righteous judgement, and trying to lead Ryuga (cough L cough) off of his tracks. He needed sometime to nap and gather out more plans for the future in which Ryuga was most defiantly going to try and get Light to admit he's Kira, or force it out of the teenaged murderer. Either or, Light had to be prepared.

"Welcome! I just started dinner!" Sachiko, Light's mother, called from the kitchen as Light made his way to the stairs. He noted Sayu, Light's sister, was not sitting and watching television, waiting and hoping for the real Ryuga Hideki to appear, and to squeal and drool over him. Then he listened for her in her room and realized that the house was unusually quiet. He started up the steps, each one creaking with his weight being pushed upon it, and Sayu's ears perked up.

Light stopped at the third step from the top of the stair case. Sayu just went to the top and stood there, eyes planted on the ground. She looked sad and betrayed, he could almost see the sad anger burning in her eyes. Her arms were behind her back as she watched her foot squash nothing into the wooden floor with great intent.

"Sayu... Is something wrong?" Light asked, wondering what in the world could have made his sister that upset. She chanced a glance at his eyes and looked to the ground quickly once again.

"Kira has been killing less lately." She stated, shocking Light. Their family never talked about Kira, they were all too much against the killer that lived under the same roof, unknowingly. Light easily hid his emotions with his great acting skills.

"Maybe he's just been busy." Light replied with a smile, making the comment as an attempt to be funny and make his sister her usual cheery and bubbly self. She just got worse.

"He's always busy when your busy." She said, looking him in the eyes much too hard, as if she were trying to look away from something. Her hands unfolded themselves from behind her back and she held her right hand up, revealing a small piece of lead from a mechanical pencil. "I'm your sister, Raito. I may not be as smart as you, but I most certainly am not stupid."

Light looked at the lead and wondered why it was so important. The only thing lead was useful for was writing. Well, that and when he used it to keep his door loc...

Oh, no.

"Ironic." Light stated, sort of defensively as he took one step up. Sayu took a step forward, challenging him back.

"Too ironic." She retaliated. Light narrowed his eyes, understanding full well that Sayu really was in his room.

"You were in my room?" He asked boldly.

"I needed to do a project... I knew your computer would run better than mine so I decided to try it. Beyond Birthday... What a strange name..." She looked back at thee ground with pure sadness this time. "I... I just wanted to make sure it was fake- to make sure you were still... Raito... Jichickiri, Maino. He was charged for rape and second hand murder but there was never enough evidence to prove him guilty, the victims were always too scared to testify."

Light's eyes widened and he bolted into his room. He pushed Sayu into the wall on his way there, but he did not notice, in fact he could not notice anything. There was only the Death Note on his mind. Sayu found the Death Note. She must have. There was nothing else she could have been talking about but there was just the slightest bit of hope she was talking about something totally irrelevant.

Now there was fear. A sort of fear he never felt before. He could get caught and be put to jail or even more likely the death penalty. So that was why he didn't care about Sayu watching him as he took the tip of a pen off the desk, open the drawer so he could see the hole in the bottom of it, and insert the pen tip to find exactly what he was fearing. There was nothing there but air.

He turned to Sayu, clearly enraged, but she paid no mind. Her eyes were glued on Ryuk who was laughing crackles that sounded as if it were thundering laughs.

"Shinigami... Are truly ugly and horrible sounding..." Sayu trailed off, making Ryuk laugh harder. Light couldn't chance this anymore, Sayu was going to ruin the perfect world that he was working so hard to make. He rushed up to her and grabbed her by both arms, growling in her face.

"Where is the Death Note, Sayu?" He ordered. She glared back.

"I see it." She stated, confusing Light. She saw the Death Note? Where?

"What?" Light asked.

"I see it, the part of you that has gone insane with power and murder. I see where you changed. I see where Kira lies deep within your eyes burning a fire so strong that you can't help but feed it and do whatever it wants. I see it." She explained and Light snarled. He was not insane! He was God, and God could not be insane! How ridiculous.

"Where is it?" He repeated, even more angrily if that is at all possible.

"What? Are you gonna threaten to write my name down and kill me? You cold hearted bastard." Sayu scowled, eyes watering. Light glared at her but then was shocked to see a small smile fall upon her lips. "It's fine though. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Because unfortunately you are still my brother and unfortunately I still love so I just can't do that. No matter what the condition."

Light's eyes widened and Sayu took the moment to pry her arms away from his grasp. He felt hurt, truly he loved his sister and to cause her pain like he just did... Well, it hurt him, but it was a hurt that had to be dealt with, for it was all for the good of the New World.

"Sayu... Arigato. Really, but now to protect you I need you to stay away from Hideki, Ryuga- the one who graduated with me- for he is L." Light explained. Sayu's eyes widened just a bit and her smile grew as she closed her eyes.

"You know... Nothing shocks me at this point anymore." She chuckled a bit to hold back a sob. "O-on the computer... I was looking for someone to test it on, someone under Kira's status of who deserves to die. I saw Beyond Birthday and was quite shocked."

"What?" Light asked. Sayu just shook her head no, smile still on her lips. It hurt Light, knowing how sour the smile was. She pulled out her tucked in shirt to pull out a small leather book that Light only knew to be the Death Note. "Just look at your computer, Kira."

She threw the notebook at him, slapping against his chest and falling to the floor. His eyes didn't stray from her as he watched her turn and walk to the open door. He tilted his head down in sadness.

"I'm sorry." He whispered and she stopped. He heard her choke against her sobs as a tear slid down her cheek.

"I'm never talking to you again." She stated and walked out of his room, closing the door behind her. Light stood still, looking at the door, as Ryuk floated onto Light's bed, chuckling to himself. Light ignored the annoying Shinigami and looked to the Death Note. He picked it up and flipped through to the newest page. A hand covered his mouth when he saw the name Jichickiri, Maino written in shaky handwriting.

"Sayu..." Light whispered. Ryuk finally gained his composure and held down the laughs that wanted to erupt from his belly and fill the room with the loud demonic sound of the strange Death God. Light wanted more than anything to punch Ryuk.

"Look at your computer screen, Light." Ryuk ordered. Light slowly looked at the Shinigami with a very slightly confused look, then he slowly turned to look at the computer. There on the screen was a picture of Ryuga's(L's) face. Underneath it was the name Beyond Birthday and to the right was a full page based to the crimes he committed, written in english.

"Now you can kill him." Ryuk said.

"No. It's not that simple."

XxX

"Ryuga-kun... May I ask you a question? I mean, may I ask L a question?" Light whispered the last sentence to the disguised detective of whom he was walking to their university with. He was pondering how to go about this. How to bring up the question without raising suspicion of him being Kira. There really was no way.

"It depends upon the question in which Light-kun asks to the answer he will get." L stated, placing his index finger onto his lips.

"Well... My sister decided to search the internet and came upon a strange sight... She found a picture of you, with the name Beyond Birthday, and an article containing the numerous murders he committed. Wha-"

"No, Light-kun. I am not Beyond." L stated, suddenly getting uptight. Light notice L failed to say Beyond Birthday and instead he said Beyond.

"So you know him?" Light asked.

"I was in charge of his case. I worked with someone and stopped him and imprisoned him. That's all I can tell you. Although I can tell you that if Beyond is to die within the next few days than I will know for certain that you are Kira." L explained.

"You sure are persistent on things that aren't true." Light mummbled and L smiled behind his finger.

"Just as you are persistent on saying that you are not Kira."

"Not today, Ryuga-kun. Not today."

XxX

"How are you gonna do this, Light?" Ryuk asked, munching on an apple. "Weren't you planning on killing that Beyond guy, hoping that if it really was L than L would be dead but if not then at least one more person is gone?"

"Exactly, Ryuk, but now I can't do that since I talked to L about. So I can't kill him but he also can't live because if he continued to live after our conversation then it would make me look even more suspicious." Light explained as he sat at his desk, opened the Death Note, and pulled out a pen.

"Then whatchya gonna do?" He asked through mouth full of apples.

"Since Beyond Birthday looks exactly like L it's obvious to say that they must have met face to face. L doesn't meet just anyone face to face so this guy had to be special. They must have really known each other so I can use that to my advantage." Light explained.

"How so?" Ryuk asked, floating over Light's shoulder to look at the words Light scribbled into the Death Note as he talked to the Shinigami. Light smiled a demonic smile that only showed itself when he was serving Justice.

"I'm glad you asked.

End Prologue

A/N: Remember that was the prologue, Chapter One starts a week before the Task Force is searching the Yotsuba Eight to see if any of them are Kira. Reviews will make me happier and updates will be a bit slow but I aim to please. :}
