I am so sorry for not updating. I was going to update last night after watching some TFS DBZ abridged. But, I got kicked off the computer. Then, I was going to update last night, but my younger bro was watching Shippden online. I hope I don't get kicked off before I finish typing.

Disclaimer: im not going to do this every chapter but, I don't own anything but volume one of black edition, volume 3 of the regular edition, 13 how to read, and another note. :D I love to brag.

"M-mom was murdered?" Sayu asked, a horrified expression o her face.

"Yes. The criminal left a message. Kira wants…"

"Wants?"

"Kira wants your brother."

"What? Then why isn't he here?"

"Because he's safe. We're going to see him now."

"Are we going to live wherever we're going to?"

"Yes."

The rest of the car ride was silent.

"Light!" Sayu yelled when she saw him.

"Hey, Sayu."

"Are you okay? Dad told me that the criminal left a message saying Kira wants you."

Light hugged his sister. "I'm just glad you're safe. I don't know if I could handle it if you died."

"I didn't know that Light-kun could be so caring."

Sayu looked up to see what she would describe as a panda man. "Nice to meet you Mr?"

"Just call me Ryuzaki. It's nice to meet your acquaintance. Sayu-chan, follow me, you'll get your own floor and I'm showing you to it."

Sayu looked at Light, who nodded.

"Ryuzaki is fine. You can trust him."

L came back down to the investigation room after escorting Sayu to her room/floor. "I think it would be best if everyone got some rest. It is," L glanced at the clock, "ten-thirty. I have provided everyone with their own room. Please, stay the night here."

Everyone nodded, and got up to leave.

"Light-kun, stay here."

Puzzled, Light stayed. "Why?"

"If Kira is truly after you, then we cannot let you be by yourself. Light-kun will share a room with me." After seeing Light's countenance he added, "We have separate beds. It's not as if I'm chained to you."(1)

"… Alright then."

Light-kun looks tired. Maybe not physically but, mentally. Light crawled into his bed without changing. He mumbled a good-night before collapsing.

"Light-kun is not Kira. So, who is?" L whispered, chewing on his thumb.

Red. Red everywhere. It was sticky. Light suddenly realized what it was. Blood. It was the blood of the people Kira had killed.

"Come here, Light-kun. I want you to join me," an almost cat-like voiced purred.

"No!" Light yelled, turning so that he could see who was there. Nothing but blood and burning buildings.

"That's too bad," another voice said, breathing down his thought. "I guess that my fiancé and I died for nothing."

Light whirled around to see the face of Naomi.

"If you weren't there, Kira wouldn't of killed me. If there were no you, my fiancé wouldn't of been killed for following you."

"It's not my fault!" Light yelled, squeezing his eyes shut.

"But it is, Light-honey. Come over here."

Light's eyes snapped open in less than a fraction of a second to see his mother.

"I'd be alive and well. You're father and Sayu would be perfectly safe. But, you're here. I'm dead, and it's all because Kira wants you."

"Stop it!" Light yelled placing his hands over his ears to block out the sound.

"But this will never stop. You will belong to me. Together, we will kill L. I'll get rid of your family. Without them, you could be persuaded," the purred.

"No! I can't! You're evil!" Light could feel disappointment radiating off the presence.(2)

"Then, I'll have to get rid of you."

The ground gave way beneath Light and he fell. Fell into the thousands, if not millions of victim's blood. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't swim back up. Light Yagami was drowning; dying.

L was typing on his laptop when Light's breathing quickened. At first, he ignored it.

"No!"

L jumped at the sudden sound. Had Light awoken? He glanced at the other bed to se Light thrashing about, sweat on his brow.

"Is Light-kun having a nightmare?"

"It's not my fault."

L placed his hand on Light's shoulder but it did not relieve the boy. "Light-kun?" he asked, shaking Light a little.

"Stop it!"

"Light-kun, wake up."

"No! I can't. You're evil."

"Light-kun! Wake up!" L monotonously yelled. This didn't work.

A moment later, Light started to claw at his neck and take short gasps a breath.

This alarmed L. "Light-kun!"

Light's eyes snapped open and he took deep breaths.

"Is Light-kun alright?"

Light just shook his head.

"Does Light-kun want to talk about it?"

"… No," Light whispered before looking pleadingly into L's eyes. "Don't let him get my family. Please."

L hesitantly placed his hand on Light's shoulder. "I'll protect your family. I promise you. It's not Light-kun's fault."

Light settled back into bed. "Thank you, L." and he was asleep.

(1) I couldn't resist. Come on.

(2) it's a presence because Light doesn't know what Kira looks like.

Again, I'm so sorry for not updating. I do not have my own computer. I have to share this one with my siblings. Everything I reply to, review to, favorite and add to story alerts, I do from my phone. But, my phone has no word that is free. If it did, I would update a lot more often. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. You all get these cyber muffins! By the way, I wrote a one-shot for my English comp class. The assignment was either uses your own experience or something else's and write about the experience. I chose Light's death and wrote about how he finally realized his mistakes. It's called Ode to Light. I would appreciate it if you all would read it and give me your opinions. Now, for anyone who cares, here is how old they were when they die.

Watari-71 L-25 Light-24 Misa-26 Mikami-28 Takada-25 -54 Raye Penber- 29 Naomi Misora- 28 Mello-21 Matt-20

Now, how old they would be if they were alive and those who are still alive

Watari-78 L-32 Light-25 Misa-26 Mikami-29 Takada-26 -56 Raye Penber-37 Naomi Misora-35 Mello-22 Matt-21 Near-20 Matsuda-33 Aizawa-42 Mogi-38 Sayu-22 -49 Rester-43 Geavanni-29 Linder-31.

Well, see you all next time I update.
