The world around was cold and dark, the ground was covered in snow, and the snow whirled around landing on Light's skin leaving a prickling feeling on his creamy skin. The air felt freezing and left Light shivering in the cold. The wind blew at Light mercilessly and he shivered, wrapping his arms around him Light walked for what seemed like hours. Everything was so surreal, Light knew it was a dream. But, everything felt so real, his aching body, the cold biting at him, and how tired he felt.

Light stopped walking when he heard children laughing and playing in the snow. Their innocent-like laughs echoed hauntingly around him and Light felt goosebumps rising on his arms. Suddenly Light felt as if he couldn't breathe when he saw the children run in front of him happily as if they were playing a game of tag. They stopped and laid on the snow below them and began to make snow angels and giggled about childish things. But it was the children's appearances that frightened Light.

It was a younger version of Light and Sayu, this was a memory. Light was smaller, he had wide and a lighter shade of auburn eyes that glittered with joy and hope. Sayu had dark brownish black eyes that were so full of innocence in her eyes. The younger Light would be about 6 if Light recalled correctly, and Sayu was 3.

The two of them were bundled up in puffy jackets that kept them warm, they were soft mittens and had colorful scarves wrapped messily around their necks as well. Light noted how happy he was with Sayu in this memory, but he wondered. Just why is he here?

Unless...

Light turned around and nearly let out a scream, there was a creature with dark crimson red eyes that stared at him ominously. It was such a large creature that was cloaked in darkness so Light couldn't see how it looked exactly. It stared at Light, it's eyes seemed to be calculating Light's very person and Light felt self-conscious and afraid.

"Yagami Light" The creature said, it's voice was very deep and loud and it boomed and echoed endlessly into the dark. Light felt frozen in place because the creature knew his name. Everything was silent, and Light couldn't hear the memory Light and Sayu laughing anymore. "Kira" The creature murmured, and Light felt anger in his chest flare up at the name of Kira.

"I am not Kira"

"I know that human. For Kira stands behind you"

Light felt a dark feeling overcome him and he felt dread hanging over him cruelly.

"W-What?" Light turned and the memory Light and Sayu laid dead on the snowy ground. They were covered in blood and their faces were bloodied and bruised. Their necks were slit and the scarves were torn and ripped. And standing beside them was someone, that looked just like Light. Glowing blood red and menacing eyes watched light with a sick fascination. It had a small twisted smile on their lips and they held a dagger at their side which was dripping with blood. The snow around the man and the children was a dark red and stained white.

"Hello Light, lovely night isn't it?" The man laughed and Light stared in horror. This couldn't be Kira. He wasn't Kira! "Sweetheart, you aren't Kira" The man identical to Light said, and Light watching with guarded curiosity. "I'm Kira, not you" He smiled viciously and his eyes watched Light with an amused expression. Light screamed.


Light screamed in fear from those hauntingly red eyes and deadly smile. It was as if that face was burned into his mind and that was what the only thing he could see, Light wasn't sure what was more frightening, the monster or...Kira. Light realized, after having time to get over the fear, that he was alone. He looked around his surroundings shivering and shaking. He could still feel the cold air on his skin. He was in a bedroom, but not his own bedroom.

The room was large and he laid in a king-sized bed with navy blue blankets and pillows that laid all around him. The room was lit up from sunlight streaming in from a window with large grey curtains that barely touched the carpeted floor. Light realized he looked like a mess, and he felt like one as well. Light moved his hands to rub at his face tiredly, but the chain connecting to the bed stopped him. Oh, the chain.

"Is Light-kun feeling well?"

Light jumped in fear and placed his hand over his chest. He stared at Ryuzaki with annoyance. Ryuzaki stood in the doorway to the bedroom, he walked so silently and stealthily Light didn't even notice his presence. Light half-heartedly glared at Ryuzaki.

"Don't do that, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Ryuzaki bit his thumb and Light just rolled his eyes.

"Are you assuming that I am Kira?" Ryuzaki asked. Light smiled slightly at Ryuzaki's seriousness and shook his head. "You did not answer my first question."

"I-I'm fine I guess. Just really tired at the moment, but I'm okay Ryuzaki" Light gave another tired smile towards Ryuzaki.

"Your father and the others are worried for you Light-kun. You aren't well" Ryuzaki said bluntly. Light flinched slightly but sighed. "I'll admit...I've been worried for you too" Light's eyes cautiously gazed into Ryuzaki's eyes and he felt a fluttering feeling in his chest.

"I'm sorry for making all of you worry about me. I'm just not used to being out of the cell and moving around again. I'm just exhausted at the moment." Light blinked. "What happened yesterday? Did I make a commotion?" Ryuzaki shook his head no. Light watched curiously, waiting to hear what occurred yesterday.

"Hmm, more or less. It wasn't much of a distraction. We discussed a few details of what's to happen soon. But we needed your presence to discuss everything."

"My presence? Is it that important?" Light said thoughtfully more or less to himself. Ryuzaki nodded snapping Light out of his thoughts.

"How are you feeling Light-kun?" Ryuzaki asked again, then said. "You seem better than last night."

"I'm just a little sore and exhausted. I'll probably be so for another day or two."

"Well I suppose you will have to get up and ready Light. We have things that we need to discuss that cannot be put off anymore."

Light groaned slightly at the thought of getting up. But he got up quickly and he and Ryuzaki gotten ready for the rest of the day. Soon after Light and Ryuzaki left the room after Ryuzaki repeatedly told Light to hurry up. Then they left and entered the more furnished room of the task force building.

"Light!" A high pitched shriek-like sound came and Light was knocked over by a blond blur. He felt the air in his lungs get pushed forcefully out of him as Misa began to hug him with superhuman like force. It took Light to realize that the chain wasn't up in the air which meant Ryuzaki laid on the ground too. Misa began to try and cuddle with Light talking about how much she missed him and Light struggled to breathe and pull her off of him.

"Need some help pretty boy?" A voice so eerily similar to Ryuzaki's said. And in a flash Misa shrieked as she was lifted off of her feet by the back of her shirt high in the air. Light sat up quickly and stared at an identical version of Ryuzaki. But this Ryuzaki copy-cat was different. There was a darker feeling around him. Almost addicting Light thought. The copy cat held a squirming and angry Misa with one hand by the back of her shirt. With his other hand, he held it out to Light who flushed and hesitatingly grabbed his hand and was quickly pulled up.

Although he was a copycat there were a few distinct differences. One for example would be his eyes. While Ryuzaki's eyes were calmly collected obsidian. The copy-cat's eyes were-

Light gasped softly, his dark auburn eyes widening and he took a step back. He didn't pay attention to the rattling of the chain on his wrist. Or the voices asking if he was okay. He was mesmerized and trapped gazing into those familiar blood red eyes that gazed back at Light in almost the same matter that he did.

"Light" Ryuzaki said. He stood in front of Light now, both of his hands were gripping Light by the shoulder and Light blinked confused and slightly sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. That-this. Just. I'm just surprised that's all" Light said softly. Light tensed at Ryuzaki's touch, and Ryuzaki felt a sharp pain stab at him from Light's little rejection at contact.
