L awoke in the middle of the night wanting to read books on the human brain. He called his handler's cellphone and requested to be taken to an all-night bookstore. Watari let out a yawn and obliged. Fifteen minutes later, he and L were at the entrance of the bookstore.

"Watari, pick me up in about an hour will you?" he told his handler as he got out of the car

"Of course Ryuuzaki," said the old man following him. He drove away without another word. L strolled around slouched, looking for the biology section. He happened to go past the manga section and froze in his tracks. Sitting cross-legged in the manga isle was a man messy, raven hair and sanguine eyes reading volume 3 of "Akazukin Chacha".

"B?" L said quietly.

"Hm?" the man looked over at him, "Do I know you?"

"Beyond Birthday?" L asked.

"Who is that?" the man asked.

"You're Beyond Birthday. BB," L said. B laughed softly.

"You must be mistaking me for someone else," he said, "I don't know who you're referring to. You look familiar though, painstakingly familiar."

"No," L said, "You have red eyes. You're Beyond Birthday."

"No...My name is Rue," B said, "I have proof." He took out half a business card out of his pocket. it read "Rue Ryuuzaki" and the rest was ripped off. L gave it back.

"That's not your name," he said, "You're not fooling me, Beyond."

"Who are you?" B asked.

"You don't recognize me?"

B shook his head. "You look familiar but I don't know you. The letters above your head say 'Lawliet' but that's all I can te-"

L covered B's mouth.

"BAKA!" he whispered angrily, "Do you want me dead THAT badly? What if Kira heard that?"

"Kiwa?" B said behind L's hand, "Whoez Kiwa?"

L tilted his head to the side.

B doesn't remember anything? L thought, Why can't he remember anything...Is this really B? He died of a heart attack in jail...But he has part of the business card he gave to Naomi Misora. What is this?

"Alright then Rue," L said, "What's the last thing you remember before you came to this bookstore?" He uncovered B's mouth.

B looked at the ceiling.

"Well?" L said.

"I don't remember," B said, "I don't even remember where I live...That's a shame." He looked at L. "Can I stay with you tonight? I must be to tired to remember right now. Sleep is the best cure, right?"

L looked at him suspiciously. B looked at himself and shrugged.

"What?" B asked.

"You can stay until you remember where you live I guess," L said, "But don't try anything..."

"Why would I try anything?" B asked.

"Never mind," L replied. He took out his cellphone. "Stay here," he motioned B to stay where he was. He started to walk to the bathroom. B followed. L stopped.

"I said stay."
"But what if you leave me?" B asked, "Or call the police on me like some old lady did? I don't know what I did wrong. I didn't steal anything from her but for some reason she just did."

L sighed, "Fine...Come along Rue."

B followed him to the bathroom. Once they were in the bathroom, L called Watari and B started playing with the motion sensor paper towel dispenser. L held B's hand down and held the phone with the other. B just used his other hand. Watari picked up the phone.

"Yes Ryuuzaki?"

"Huston," L said, "We have a problem. It seems an old friend of mine is alive and has an amnesia of some sort." L started slapping B's hands, " AND HE WON'T-"

"OW!" B yelled.

"STOP PLAYING-" slap "OW!" "WITH THE-" slap "OW!" "PAPER TOWELS!!!" slap "OW!"

"Bad boy!" L said, "Stop wasting paper!"

"..." B sat under the sink and pouted like a child.

"Ryuuzaki," said Watari, "Is that Beyond?"

"Yes," L said, "He thinks his name is Rue Ryuuzaki though."

"How does he remember that but not his real name?"

"He read a piece of the business card he gave to Misora."

"I see. I'll be there shortly."

"Thank you Watari," L said. He hung up the phone.

"You know," B said, "You're kinda hot."

L held out a hand to B. B took it and helped him up. Then L slapped B across the face hard.

"OW!" B yelled, "What was that for?!?!"

L pointed a finger n B's face.

"You don't call boys 'hot',"L said, "It's just not right."

"Oh," B said, "Sorry..."

Um...LxB? O.o Definitely not my best story. -__________- I'll post another chapter...Maybe it'll be better...

So ANYWAYS, I was doing research about Dissociative Amnesia for a powerpoint in health class while listening to "Lucifer's Angel" by The Ramus. Then I got the "insanely brilliant idea" to write a story where L found B and B had amnesia. """""""^~^ So yeah...Sorry for your time. (if by some insane miracle you like this, read the next chapter once it's up. :D)
