Thank you for the reviews~ ^.^ It's not many but I appreciate your opinions of the story. That's what motivates me to see this to the end so... keep them coming.

I know I said before that it would switch to BB's view, but... I read through it again and I decided that specific scene wasn't exactly relevant. In the least. So I'm sparing you guys slight disappointment so I took it out. What I was attempting to do was show you guys what kind of relationship they had as twins. Sometimes twins have a kind of sense about the other, like they know when something's wrong. I wanted to try and use that but it just seemed, like I said before irrelevant.

I have a few warnings for this chapter: Non-con (non-consensual sex), Beyond Birthday is OOC (please don't kill me, that's just how he turned out in my head T.T), and... by the end of the chapter, L's a little OOC too but he had a good reason.

Also, something I forgot to add in the last chapter... none of these characters are mine except for Daisuke and Tatsuya. I don't own Death Note, obviously and I take no credit for its original plot, illustration, etc, etc... I just like playing around with the characters and torturing L. :D

Enjoy! And please don't get to review and subscribe. And remember, if you see there's something that's wrong/needs to be improved about this chapter (or the story in general) constructive criticism please.

Enjoy! 3

He Saves Me (Not)

I sighed as I sat down in the cushioned seat, my eyes drooping a bit. I was tired and just wanted to sleep until the soreness was gone, but before I could rest my head on my desk, my twin came around the corner, looking lively as ever. I often wished that I had his never ending amounts of energy. Maybe then once in a while I could give Raito a run for his money.

People often say they can't tell the difference between my brother and I when they first meet us. I suppose we look just alike, but I see drastic differences each time I see myself next to him. He's always bubbly and happy, though his temper matches mine if ever caught in a bad mood. His eyes are brighter than mine too, and I think he just has this... natural beauty and easiness about him that I'm sure I'll never be able to obtain.

We may be twins, but we're like night and day.

"Hi, Lawli," he said, beaming over at me.

I forced a smile, almost too exhausted to pretend I was perfectly fine. "Hello, Beyond. What do you need?"

"I'm going out for lunch with Daisuke... wanna come?"

I shook my head and gave him another tired smile. "No... I think I'm going to skip today, but thanks for the invite." I knew that Daisuke probably didn't want me around anyway. We were always civil to each other, but that was it. We were never on the best terms.

"Oh... Okay... See you at home then." It was his turn to give me a forced smile. We never spend a lot of time together anymore, but I wasn't in the mood to deal with his lover.

I watched him walk off, and the moment that he was out of sight, I lay my head on the desk and closed my eyes.

I was in the middle of packing my things up for the day, wondering if Raito was still hanging around as usual, when I felt someone behind me. I turned my head and saw a co-worker of mine, Tatsuya. He was tall, taller than me, with black hair that was always slicked back with a few loose strands. He had on a blue suit today, looking sharp even after the long day. "Yes?" I asked, not in the mood to socialize. He was handsome and I had spoken to him a few times, but it wasn't like we were close, and I didn't really have an interest in him.

He watched me pack up the rest of the papers, and when I turned around, he had a smirk on his face. "I know what you've been doing."

I blinked, my face blank. "Elaborate or go away. I want to go home." I was tired and getting impatient. I didn't have time to play games with him.

He chuckled meanly. "I know what you've been doing with Raito-kun... Your... Sexcapades."

My stomach dropped and I paused for half a second, but apparently even that was too long. His smirk grew and I wondered what he wanted. Do I have to pay him to keep quiet? Maybe he just wants to see me get fired either way. I frowned and shook my head. "I still don't know what you're talking about. Even if I was - which I'm not - I don't really understand how that would be any of your business." I finished putting the papers in my bag and I started to stand up straight and turned my back to him. He stepped over to me, and I felt him poking my lower back. But not with his finger.

"I'll pay you to keep quiet about this... And in return... I won't tell the president that you're sleeping with his son, and even worse, sleeping with him at work." His hand slid down my front, quickly making its way to my pants.

I turned around and shoved him away, glaring at him. "I'm not a prostitute," I snapped, narrowing my eyes, "and I don't care what you say. I'm not sleeping with you, here or otherwise." I made to grab my bag, but Tatsuya grabbed my arm and jerked me closer to him, kneeing me hard in my gut. The wind got knocked out of me and I groaned in pain. He shoved me on the desk, and I felt him grab my wrists, taping them together. I made to kick him, but he grabbed my legs, forcing them apart. I tried to struggle, shouting for help, but he took the tape again and slapped a piece over my mouth. "MMMM!"

"Now... Be a good little secretary and sit back... And enjoy this." He ripped my shirt open, making all the buttons go flying. His fingers ran down my torso and he bit the nape of my neck so hard that it would leave a bruise. Tatsuya jerked my pants down just enough to tangle them at my lower thighs, his fingers invading me. Tears gathered in my eyes and I tried to struggle more but he started to hurt me, grinding his fingers painfully against that spot. I stopped, closing my eyes.

Where was Raito and why wasn't he here?

When he finished, he left me on the desk, not even bothering to take the tape from my mouth. When I thought I was alone, I sobbed quietly, fearing that someone would find me like this in the morning.

I felt someone over me and I whimpered, afraid that bastard had changed his mind and come back for more. The tape was cut from my wrist and ripped from my mouth. I cried out, cracking open my eyes to see... Daisuke.

Oh, God... He's going to laugh this one up, I thought, not sure how much more humiliation and mocking I would be able to take.

He gently grabbed my arms and helped me up, and I pulled my pants up, quickly zipping them back up. I didn't look at him until he took off his jacket and put it around my shoulders. "Let's go," was all he said, and guided me out to his car, where Beyond was sitting, looking worried and afraid.

Aww, poor L.

One last note. This is the first time I've done 1st POV like this... which is past-tense. I usually do present and I had trouble deciding at first. That being said, if there's any obvious differences in any of the chapters, I apologize before hand.
