I yawned as I trailed behind Light. ''Tired Ryuzaki?'' he laughed. I grumbled something, not even recognizable to myself, but Light just shrugged it off, seeing as its normal behaviour for me. We walked up to the room we shared in silence. Light kept tugging on the hand cuff's signalling for me to hurry, ''Common! I wanna go to bed for fuck sake!'' he almost growled. I looked up to him, wide eyed, he stared back. His eyes were drooping and he had bags under his eyes, It was obvious he was tired. We'd be working him to the bone on the Kira case, it was physically showing. Dismissing all these thoughts, I quickly nodded my head in reply. ''Not talking tonight, eh?'' He questioned.
''There's nothing worth value to say.'' I murmured back, Light let out a frustrated sigh and continued walking to the room. When we'd reached the bedroom, we both stripped to our underwear and climbed into our beds; we had two singles placed next to each other, so we could sleep comfortably with the hand cuffs. I don't usually like sleeping, but tonight I felt I needed it. I closed my eyes and began to drift off, but of course, it was too good to be true. ''Ryuzaki, why can't we take off these Handcuffs? It makes sleeping harder.'' Light complained. This time, it was my turn to sigh,
''We can't take them off, because I think you're Kira. These handcuffs are the only thing you have to prove your innocence.'' I purred. ''Now, Will you allow me to continue sleeping? I don't do so often, I would quite like to.'' Light made a humming noise; I took it as an agreement. Once again, I closed my eyes, but this time sleep hit me like a ton of bricks.
-Light's PoV-
I was awoken by tugging at my handcuffs. What the fuck is Ryuzaki doing now? I opened my eyes, surprised by the small light that filled the room. On the desk at the end of my bed, sat a single lonesome candle. I stared at it for a while until a slight shuffling sound distracted my concentration. My eyes flickered to a dark creature curled up in the corner of the room. It took me only seconds to realise, it was none other than Ryuzaki, except there was something strange about him. My eyes trailed to the floor around him, he seemed to be standing in a puddle of something. I tried to think of what it could be, but from the red tint it had left on Ryuzaki's feet, I knew it was nothing other than blood. My stomach turned inside me. Now that'd I'd seen the red substance, I seemed to be able to see it everywhere, tiny droplets flicked onto the wall and Ryuzaki's clothes. On the wall at the end of the room, written in the blood were two letters. The most sinister letters I've ever seen. 'BB' a tiny gasp escaped my lips, that's when Ryuzaki looked up at me. He wore the grin of a mad man, flashing his yellow straight teeth; his eyes were almost tainted evil. He moved faster than he normally did, but he still kept his hunched back at all times. He almost ran up to my bed, he sat, our faces right in each other's. Now that he was closer, I could see details I couldn't before, there was something red that looked like meat caught in between his sharp canines. His tongue was dyed a newer brighter red, something told me it wasn't candy he'd been eating. ''Your scared. Aren't you?'' he whispered. His voice had a new edge to it; it was raspy like he'd been smoking. I shook my head ''Just merely confused.'' I replied. Silence, Ryuzaki processed my answer in his head. ''Ryuzaki?'' He let out an insane laugh, it was almost haunting. The crazy laugh echoed throughout the room.
''Ryuzaki? He's not here right now. Actually, he never was. But we're leaving the point. What's confusing you little Light-kun?''
My brows formed a frown line, Ryuzaki was never there. What does that even mean? He was slowly getting closer to me, licking his canines as he did so. He was starting to creep me out. His hand reached out like a bullet, grabbing tuff's of my hair. He yanked my head back painfully. ''you're a little liar, aren't you Light-kun?'' he chuckled. A tear of pain slowly trickled down my cheek, I mentally slapped myself. How can I be that stupid? Showing Ryuzaki a weakness, especially when he's like this, it would be my undoing. Another frightful laugh came from Ryuzaki. He shoved my head away, I fell back and whacked it on the wall behind me. I let out a small whimper, another small sign of weakness. This time he didn't laugh, he just got up off my bed and sat on his own. ''Light-kun, go to sleep.'' He ordered. After a moment of silence, I slowly slid under my bed sheet and closed my eyes. I did not sleep in fear he would advance on me in my sleep. What the hell just happened? What happened to Ryuzaki, why the hell was he like that? Questions riddled me for several minutes until they were interrupted by a small whisper. ''Goodnight Kira.'' I felt a finger trace my cheek and quickly it pulled away. I heard Ryuzaki crawl into his bed and shortly after, his breath became heavier, he was asleep. My brain started to shut down and sleep slowly possessed me.
