Mello, Matt, and Near all had small experiences with BB, and remeber them in their dreams. WARNING: possible BBxMello, but it wasn't intended ^_^;

"Mello..." Mello tossed in his sleep. "Oh, Mello..."

"What?" he grumbled. He looked over to see L next to his bed. But there was something different about L.

"L? What is it?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. He pressed a hand over the boys mouth.

"Never...call..me....L!" he hissed. Mello's eyes widened. This wasn't L...It was BB.

"What do you want from me?" mello asked hesitantly. BB gave him a warped smile.

"I don't want anything from you...." He said, stroking the boys short blonde hair. Mello tried to swallow his fear.

"Do you ever get tired of being second best?" he whispered in the boys ear, sending shivers down his spine. "Do you despise that you are second to someone who is inferior to you?" Mello bit his lip. BB was trying to get a reaction from him, and it was beggining to work. It really burned him up that Near was ahead of him.

"No!" Mello cried, burying his face in his pillow. B's cold fingers left his head and slid down across Mello's exposed back.

"Don't cry, pretty one....it's not your fault that L doesn't care for any of you...." he hissed softly in Mello's ear. Mello bit his lip. Everyone said that B was going insane since he lost A... and now he was experiencing firsthand.

"L...cares.." Mello muttered. The cold fingers on his back dug into his skin, hard. Mello clutched his pillow, trying not to cry out.

"Please...B...don't..." he whimpered softly.

"Does it hurt?" B asked.

"Yesss...." Mello hissed as B dug his nails in deeper.

Mello sat up in bed, his chest heaving.

"No...B's gone...I'm safe..." Mello whispered, pulling his knees to his chest. "B is gone and is never comming back." he said louder. Little did he know that on either side of his room, Matt and Near also dreamt of B.

Matt tossed and turned in his sheets, sweating.

"You like video games?" a voice behind him asked.
"Mhmmmm..." he mumbled, absorbed in the game. The boy who spoke covered Matt's goggled eyes.

"Hey-" Matt began, turning to get a good look at the jerk who interupted him. It was that B kid.....that kid who Mello told him was crazy and to stay away from. BB smiled down at the young redhead. Matt didn't like the way he smiled. He smiled like.....the cheshire cat from American McGee's Alice. All sinister like.

"Wanna play a game?" BB asked, his voice scarily sweet. Matt shifted uncomfortably.

"Um, I should get back to my room...you know, gotta study..." he muttered, standing to leave. He felt a bony hand clutch his shoulder and pulled him in the opposite direction.

"Let me go!" Matt yelled, only to have his mouth covered by B's hand.

"Shhh, it's okay....I'm not gonna hurt you..." he murmured. Matt flailed his arms. Where the hell was everyone?!?! Oh wait...they were in class...like he should have been.

"We're gonna play a game, A...." he said happily. Matt panicked.

"I'm not A! I'm Matt! Lemme go, man, this ain't funny!" BB looked down at the struggling boy.

"Come on now....be a good boy." B muttered. Matt looked up at the boy and he could've sworn he saw an evil glow in his already crimson eyes.

"Please....just let me go..." Matt asked.

"Beyond, Matt. Why are you not in class?" Rodger's voice echoed thru the empty hallway. Matt felt a surge of relief thru his heart. Rodger wouldn't let BB hurt him. BB released Matt's shirt and shuffled away. Rodger looked at Matt hard and said,

"Get back to class, and stay away from B."

Matt never heard an order he wanted to obey more.

Near pressed his face deep in his pillow.

"Freak albino, that's what you are," B hissed, pressing the then 5 year old hard against the floor. Near had no idea what he had done to provoke this attack.

"Stop hurting me...please!" Near begged. BB only laughed a mirthless laugh.

"The freak has manners. I hate manners." B growled, pulling his hair. The little boy cried out, the pulling becoming pain.

"Beyond! Get off of him NOW!" A sharp voice commanded. It was L. BB looked up at the man in disgust and contempt.

"You killed A." he muttered.

"I did not. He killed himself, and while that is a tragedy, you can not go around terrorizing the other children. Attack evil, not innocents." BB glared at him.

"You would sacrafice innocent lives in order to catch any criminal." he contested. For once, L's usually passive face looked angry.

"You will stop speaking lies. You will leave the other children alone or you will be thrown out." BB gave him a venomous look, and walked out. Near still laid on the floor, face down. L bent down and sat the little boy up.

"Don't worry about him, he won't bother you again..." L reassured the trembling boy.

Near cuddled close to his pillow. L would protect them always.
Always.

Me: Kinda scary....and Near's was kinda at the end cute.

BB: Shut up! When do I come in?

Me: *hands him strawberry jam* soon, very soon...

L: You are in JAIL! Why don't you get that?!?!?!

Me: Uh, look out for next Chappie!
