The Demon and the Light

Chapter 10: Expectations

…

(Normal POV)

"Its cold…" Light says with a shiver, sticking close to the limping L. "You are a human…of course this is cold" L said with an eye roll. "I thought it be overbearingly hot…not cold okay" Light mutters as he rubs his shoulders, trying to warm up his skin. "You're just a whinny baby"

"Say that again and you'll have my fist down your throat" Light growled and L chuckled. He was currently in his demonic form, seeing as he needed to be in it to actually get underground. "I'll wrap my wing around you…it should provide you with warmth…unless you want to try other ways to get warm" L said with a wink. "Oh my that does sound exciting…fooling around with a demon in between the human world and hell itself…oh that just turns me on"

"You know it does" L joked, receiving a glare from Light before the teen chuckled. "I'll take that wing now"

"I for one would rather take you" Light shoved L lightly, so not to harm him. "Shut up and give me that wing" He says, chuckling at the demons forwardness. He would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it. It was amusing and did turn him on slightly.

"I could give you so something else by very well, Light" L mutters as he wraps a wing around Light, bringing him closer than before. "It's surprisingly soft" Light mumbles, nuzzling the black fur around him. "Light…things you say can be seriously taken the wrong way" L says with a smirk. "Shut up you stupid demon!" Light exclaimes, glaring at the demon.

"How long do we have to walk?" Light asks the demon. "Not far…but please Light…don't be surprised at what you see…this is another dimension and you will see things that could possibly scar you for life"

"You made me think of Ryuk topping me…I have already been scarred for life" L shrugs. "You thought of that yourself" He mumbles as he looks ahead of him. "Light, close your eyes and pay no attention to the things you here" L ordered as he felt them nearing to their dimension. "Why?" Light asks but closes his eyes anyway.

And with that they both disappeared.

(L's POV)

I had to have him close his eyes because we were basically traveling through time. If you are not demon and you go through the 'portal' then it will play tricks on your mind. But if your eyes are closed then it could only taunt you verbally. Even though I was half demon half human, I wasn't affected. I hear commotion as we near the end and then I land on a broken, and dirtied, bed. Light was still wrapped in my one wing, still as a rock. "Light…you can open your eyes"

For a second he was silent but he eventually obeyed and opened his eyes. "What the hell were those voices…?" he asks, looking around the dark room. "Where are we?" he asks, forgetting about his first question. "We're in my home" I mumble as I get up and off the bed. "It's warmer down here so I don't need to lend you my wing" I mutter as I unwrap my wing from around him. "This is your home? Why's it so dark?"

"Light…we are in hell…basically, so what do you expect? Rainbowsand suns?" he shrugs and hops off the bed. "No, I suppose I don't…its kinda creepy here…"

"Light I will say this again…We are in hell" I mumble with a smile. "Can I hold your hand? I hate to admit this but…I'm kinda scared…" Light mumbles, looking down. I couldn't help but think that he was adorable. Asking to hold my hand…it was like a five year old asking to hold his mother's hand. "Yes you may Light-kun"

I watch as he lifts his head up and how the edges of his lips tilt upwards. He makes his way towards me and wraps his hand around mine. I squeeze his hand gently and walk forward. I ignore the slight pain that walking caused me. I needed to focus on my surroundings, not on the pain, if I was unfocused then there was no telling what would happen.

As we were walking out the house we were stopped by a male's voice. "L…Why the hell is that human here…why the hell are you here actually?" I felt Light tense and I just gave his hand a squeeze. "Mello…Nice to see you as well…" I say as I turn around, Light doing the same.

"What are you doing here?" the blonde demon says without looking at me and rather at Light. "And why does he smell like you…you didn't did you? Oh my wait until Near hears about this!" He exclaims, holding his stomach as he laughed. "What is she going on about?" Light asks me and I laugh at what he called Mello.

"She?! Did your mate just call me a fucking female?!" The blonde shouts as he stalks forward to glare at Light. "Light this is Mello; he is an Incubus of my kind, half human, half demon." Light realizes his mistake and apologizes. "Oh God…I'm so sorry…I thought you…I mean…I'm so sorry…"

"Seeing as your L's mate I will let it slide" Mello grumbles. "So what you doing here?" He tries again. "I seem to be very ill…I need to see a doctor…" I mumble and Mello looks at me with worry. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know"

…

"Ryu…They are giving me strange looks…" Light mumbled besides me. "You are a human, of course they are going to be looking at you weird…" Mello mumbles. He was on the one side of Light and I was on the other. It was the easiest way to make sure he didn't get maimed or what by other demons. We could stop them before they even tried.

"How far is this place?" Light asks again. "Jesus, shut up you stupid human, we're nearly there" Mello shouts at Light. "Jeez dude…no need to go psycho on me…I was just asking a question" Light mumbles, keeping himself as close to me as possible incase Mello himself decided to maim him.

"We should be there in five seconds" '1, 2, 3, 4, 5…' "We're here" I say as a small building comes into view. "Is that it?" Light asks me and I nod my head. "It's awfully small…" Light mumbles as we advance towards the building. "Yeah, its supposed to give that impression" Mello mutters. "You're lucky Near is in there today, he might be able to get you a visit with the doc straight away…although no promises" Mello explains and I nod my head.

(Lights POV)

Near…was…different. He was quite small and looked rather adorable…even though he was a little odd. He had white hair and pale skin. His eyes were a pale blue and all in all he was just too cute to be a demon. And an Incubus demon at that…It was a little bit…Shocking…I would take him as being a demon that kills with their cuteness. Because I swear I nearly died when I saw him hug L.

And the little albino was able to get L a visit with the 'demon doctor' straight away. The little boy didn't even question as to why L was here, like Mello did.

Both looked pretty young…Near looked to be 10 and Mello looked twelve. I could be wrong but I doubt I am. If Mello really is about that age then he has got a mouth on him…I guess all demons have one though…I have heard my fair share of L cursing. It was scary and a turn on sometimes.

"Yagami you may go with L…Just be warned…the doctor is not much of a…looker and might freak you out" Near mumbles as he leads both me and L to a door. Another thing that I found out today…This 'hospital' was huge. It was the size of a normal hospital in my world but you would never be able to tell considering the outside was as small as a shack.

Both me and L enter the room and thankfully this room looked normal. Clean white walls and a normal looking hospital bed. "Hello there Lawliet" A man behind a desks greets. He was quite the odd creature…but I knew Ryuk…and no one could beat him in oddity. He took the cake for that one.

"I have been expecting you" The man says looking directly at L. "Then if you have been expecting me, you know what's wrong…am I correct?" L asks and the 'Doctor' nods his head. "I do know what's wrong with you and I can assure you its nothing to panic about…it is something that has only ever happened once and once only…but it appears that, that is changing since it is now happening to you" The doctor explains.

"Then please tell me what it is…and how I can stop it from happening" the other male shook his head. "I cannot tell you anything…and there is no stopping this…It's something that would've inevitably happened…better now than later"

"I see…Then I guess I can go…" L mumbled as he walked towards the door, me following after him. That was rather quick, but I didn't mind. He said that there was nothing to worry about but he wouldn't tell us what exactly was wrong with L and I was getting a little peeved.

"Oh and L…Keep that human close to you at all times…or else you will die" L paused before walking out the door and dragging me with him. How is keeping me close to him ever going to help? I would just be giving him company…not healing his sickness that we had no idea of.

"At least we know it's nothing serious…" I mumble, taking L's hand and holding it in mine, squeezing gently. "Yes but we still do not know what is wrong with me…" L grumbles as we make our way to where Near and Mello were waiting for us. "How old are those two?" I asks curiously. L shrugs. "Near should be twelve and Mello fifteen in human years…demon years are different of course. Our age is five times more that yours so in demons years they are sixty and seventy five…"

"I thought they were younger…man is Near adorable…even in his demonic form…I can just imagine how cute he will look in his human form…" I mumble. "Demons like that are born seldom…it's a wonder he hasn't been kicked out yet…Mello as well… They do not kill like me but I guess the elders are still giving them some time like they did for me…its all a waste though…they are like me and hate to kill…I but I guess it will be like that since we have the same 'mom'. We are technically brothers but we have different fathers, I'm guessing…" He mumbles as we make our way to the boys. "They're still adorable though…"

"Do not say this in front of them Light…appearances can be deceiving" He says with a smile. He was correct. One should never judge a book by its cover. These little boys could be the devil themselves…but I somehow didn't believe that. Mello maybe…But I guess he was only trying to prove himself…Why I don't know…

Near was just himself…always twirling a piece of hair between his fingers in a rather adorable way…"I think Near could kill with his adorableness… Can we take him home with us? Mello as well?" L looks at me strangely. "I have never heard of a human wanting to take two little demon babies home with him..." I grin at him. "I didn't see myself liking you either and guess what, It happened!"

"You never cease to amaze me Light-kun…We could take them with us…but they have to go willingly and cannot stay for a long time…unless of course they get kicked out because they are incompetent like I was." He explains and I nod my head. "I can just imagine how jealous Sayu will get when she sees how cute Near is" L hummed low in his throat. "Your sister does like being at the centre of attention…so it wouldn't surprise me if Near was in the same room as her and others and he was getting all the attention...But Near doesn't like groups or attention so he will just stray away from them"

"You know we have great hearing and heard everything you guys said" Mello says, a vain present on his forehead. "I am not cute!" he glares at both me and L before his eyes soften 'Do demons suffer from bipolar or something? Because I swear this one's moods change within a millisecond. "I was told that it was nothing to worry about"

Both boys stayed silent, sensing that that was all L was willing to tell them.

And then there was silence…that I broke of course.

"May I adopt you two?" Both look at each other before turning back to me. "Sure" said Near. "Hell yeah!" you could guess who that was…

"Beware of Ryuk" L muttered as we left the 'hospital'. "whose that?" Asked near, tilting his head sideways in a cute manner. 'Jeez this kid is freaking adorable!' "You will see"

Though you will wish you hadent because I think that Ryuk even managed to freak L out a bit…He was just a freaking being…On that I had to see everyday…

Damn my life is so troublesome
