Chapter 3: Pride

Misa slept peacefully that night - her lovable murderer boyfriend by her side - and dreamed of all the things she would force her poor slave into doing once she won this contest. She had it in the bag, she knew - murderers were just natural-born sinners. There was no way she could possibly lose!

She woke up early, trying to think of something that could be another of Beyond's sins. Her mind drew a blank - It's because it's so early, she told herself - and she struggled to recount what the sins were. Gluttony, envy, lust, sloth, pride, wrath, greed... she recalled, holding up a finger for each sin she named. Although she'd counted all seven, none of them seemed to fit him. After struggling to think of a sin that described B, she gave up and decided to give her soon-to-be servant a break before he was enslaved by making him breakfast.

Beyond woke up a few minutes later to the sound of sizzling and clattering, followed by a string of loud profanities. Misa was obviously cooking something.

He walked out of his room, a bit concerned about her. He knew she was a trouble magnet.

"Misa? Are you alright?" he asked when he entered the kitchen. There were pancakes on the griddle, and Misa was holding her finger. B assumed she had burned herself.

"Ow...good morning, Beyond." she said when she saw him. As B moved closer, he saw that there were tears in the corner of her eyes. He grabbed her wrist and examined her hand. Just as he thought - she'd burned herself on the griddle. How clumsy she is.

"What are you doing?" Misa asked when Beyond began to raise her hand up to his mouth.

"I'm helping your hand heal." he replied as he kissed the tip of her finger gently.

Misa blushed profusely and yanked her hand away. "Stop trying to seduce me!" she yelled. "You can't win, because I definitely don't sin as much as you do!"

"Is that so?" B asked, as he watched the pancakes go from a delicious-looking golden brown to a darker shade of brown. What a shame, they looked so good...

"Yes, it is so!" she exclaimed as she placed the nearly-burnt pancakes onto a platter, careful not to burn herself again. She set the platter down on the counter, and turned so that she was facing Beyond again. "You can't beat me because you kill people and you're gluttonous and...some other stuff!"

B chuckled. She had no idea what she was doing, did she? "Yes, I believe you're right. It certainly seems like you have me beaten." He grinned at her, and Misa took a step back, knowing that he was planning something.

He stepped forward. "Is something the matter?" he inquired. Misa shook her head qand continued moving backward. Beyond's grin widened as he continued to stalk toward her. Misa blushed when her back hit the wall. He was cheating! Didn't he know that seducing your opponent into submission was against the rules?

Beyond wasted no time, pinning Misa between his arms, and leaning in dangerously close. "You shouldn't be so sure of yourself, Love." he whispered. "Pride is a terrible sin, you know."

Misa inhaled shakily, and responded, "I-I'm not prideful...just c-confident."

"Too confident." B retorted, leaning in to brush his lips against her neck. "I must admit, though, it is quite...attractive." He slid his tongue down her neck to prove his point.

Misa felt her cheeks burn. She moved to push him out of her way, but he proved to be faster, as he was able to pin her arms above her head with ease.

"You make this too easy, Love." Beyond said, grinning. "If you intend to challenge me, you must attempt to be a bit more difficult to beat." Misa glared at him a bit, and managed to whisper, "I won't admit it, and you won't beat me."

B's grin widened. "Is that your idea of a challenge?" he asked, nipping at her neck lightly. "Too easy." Misa opened her mouth to protest, but she was quickly cut off as B pressed his lips to hers roughly.

Misa struggled to release her hands from his grip, but he wouldn't comply. I can't give in... she thought. But...he's so good...

Beyond swiped his tongue along her bottom lip, and Misa gave a small cry. "I give up!" she said in a muffled voice. "You win! I'm too prideful!"

Upon hearing Misa utter these words, he pulled away from her and released her arms, smirking. "I told you," he said. "that pride is a horrible sin." He turned around, licking his lips. "Delicious," he muttered as he walked away.


A/N: O mai. This is my attempt at making Beyond a bit more pervy (by request). Did I do a good job?

Reviews are appreciated. :3
