A/N: Sorry I know that if you put this story on Alerts you recieved this e-mail twice I jsut needed to add something. Anyways, I checked and It's only been a week since I last updated. It feels as if it were longer. Anyways it's actually a longer chapter, I has a proposal. Anyone want to be my Beta? I could honestly use one. Your strong point has to be grammar. I completely suck at placing commas.

Namu Kyumi: Yeah poor Light... Ohh well I hope it gets better.

unknown (): Yes this story is very Light hearted, I think that's why I like writting it?

Black-Dranzer-1119:...Mindreader....

Hentai-Otaku: And continue I have

Addicted to Dreams: Thank you Mello and Near's personalities will be easier to write. As for Matts weapons, hmm Knights live in castles (In this story they do!) Knights have weapons, Matt lives in castles now. I can arrange Matt "acidentally" finding weapons

Light led the horses through the gates that led into the courtyard of the castle. Near was sitting patiently behind him playing around with his finger puppets. Mello was happily eating the chocolate bar that he held onto while L kept stealing glances at Light. Matsuda was speaking mindlessly to Matt who was nodding at certain intervals; Matsuda seemed satisfied with this so Matt just kept on nodding while counting his marbles.

"Misa missed her Light!" Light flinched while everybody else looked in the direction of the voice. Obviously, it was coming from Misa. She was running out of the palace with her arms open and a huge smile on her face. The horse Light and Near were on snorted while turning to walk away from the blond girl. Too bad it wasn't fast enough; Misa jumped up once she reached the horse and hooked her arms around Light's neck almost pulling him off the tall horse.

"Misa" Light yelped as he grabbed the reins of the horse for support. The horse reared back on it hind legs; neighing. This in turn made both Light and Near fall off the horse. Mello began laughing at the look of pure terror on Near's face. This was one of the reasons why the albino boy never went out. Killer girls and their psychotic ways. He'd rather stay home, oh yeah now he had to make another figure puppet for the blond idiot.

"I missed you too Misa can you let go now?" Light stated as he sat on the ground with Misa burring her face into the crook of his neck. He always seems to land on his royal ass when ever he went ridding with the blond girl, or just when the blond idiot was around. Here's something he was wondering at the moment. How does something so skinny looking weight so much?

"Light missed Misa?" Misa asked, though it was more of a statement. She stopped burring her face in Light's neck; she looked up at Light with happy eyes. Light mentally groaned not this again. "Misa is so happy!" Misa shrieked while she clapped her hands. Light winced at her voice, while Matsuda covered his ears whining; it couldn't be heard through the shrieking, and Mello wince which in turn caused his chocolate bar to fall.

Mello stared at the candy bar in shock. He did NOT just drop his LAST chocolate bar on the floor, no, no no no! No! This was the blond girl's fault! She caused him to drop the chocolate bar on the floor! The chocolate bar that took him 2 carefully planned days to steal! "Hey you! The over sized blond piece of monkey shit!" Mello screamed out from his and L's horse.

Misa looked over at him, while Matt finally looked up and Near stood. This interested Matt, to Near this was another Mello moment where he was the center of the world and no one else mattered. Oh well Misa deserves it; she did make Near fall off the horse, which by the way hurts. A lot.

"Yeah I'm talking to you!" Mello continued shouting at the confused face on the blond girl. He got off the horse and stopped over to the "Over sized blond piece of Monkey shit". "You made me drop my Chocolate bar!" Mello pointed a finger at Misa as he said this. "Do you know how long it took me to get that Chocolate bar?" Misa shook her head. This boy was scaring her; she could feel the tears pilling up getting ready to fall. "Two days!" Mello shouted lifting two fingers to emphasize his point. Light was still on the ground, but he was dying of laughter (on the inside of course). Misa was literally about to shed tears, and the cause? An angry 19 year-old that had dropped his candy bar. He regrets thinking that this boy was annoying; actually at this point he was glad to have him around. He was doing what Light has wanted to do for the past 3-4 weeks! "If you ever make me drop my chocolate bar again, I swear I will make sure your life ends up as hell! Princess, Queen or not! Got it?" Mello finished.

Matt was staring at the duo, this was fun, and this was very fun. The only thing that was slightly bothering him was the guard that was hiding behind him as if using him as a shield. Maybe he was scared? He wouldn't doubt it; the guy didn't look that much like a guard anyways, beside the uniform that is.

"Hey don't bully Misa!" Sayu's voice rang out through the courtyard. Light stood up; brushed the dirt of the back of his pants while being thankful that it wasn't mud, and leaned over to look around the two blonds that were currently standing in the way. There was Sayu running towards them with an angry face and obviously about to defend Misa. The little sarcastic Light's in his head made up a little heroic tune while another announced, "Here comes Super Sayu defender of the stupid and ignorant, which is Ironic"

Sayu stood in between Mello and Misa while jabbing a figure in Mello's chest. "What's the matter with you peasant! Do you really think that you could talk to Misa like that! She's going to be queen soon and she could easily banish you from the kingdom!" Sayu screamed while jabbing her finger on Mello's chest and the end of each sentence to prove her point. Misa was standing behind her gaining her confidence back. Sayu was right she WAS about to become queen! Not only that but she could banish the boy from HER kingdom as soon as she does become queen.

"Are you really that dense? Only the KING can do that! The queens just there to pop out babies like there no tomorrow!" Mello deadpanned. Matsuda snorted into his hand, but froze when Sayu glared at him. He didn't do or say anything; he was just innocently sitting her watching all this unfold from the safety of the boy in front of him.

"He is correct you know" Near, L, and Light all stated at the same time before looking at each other. Near went back to his finger puppets, Light and L seemed to have this under control. "The King is the only one that could banish anyone here, actually the only way a queen has any power is if she is a widow." L finished. Light had decided to stay quiet and watch, at least until Sayu forced him to protect Misa. "Judging by how much you admire Light I doubt you would actually KILL him to gain power, actually the probability of you committing suicide if he ever did die is over 95%" L finished. Light smiled like a Cheshire cat on the inside. He loved this man right now actually he would dedicate an entire day of worshipping him at the moment.

"Light! Don't just stand there help Misa!" Sayu commanded stomping her foot on the ground. Light looked up at the sky, somewhat like L did a while ago back at the park. "I need to get the horses back to the stable" Light stated and look back down at the group. "Any one care to join?" He asked grabbing the reins of his horse and beginning to walk off. Everybody in the group except for Misa and Sayu nodded following him.

The group reached the stable and handed in their horses to the groomers. Light smiled absentmindedly at what just happened. Sure the rest of the day is going to be a pain in the ass thanks to what just had happen, but it's going to be worth it. He turned around to face the three teenagers that had just become residents of his castle. Maybe he should open an inn; he does already have 4 paupers living in his castle.

Light observed what the teenagers were wearing. Oh my god they looked like miniature L's. The albino boy was wearing all white shirt and pants, well at least Light believed that they were white. At the moment they looked like someone decided to roll the boy in the mud and throw him into a muddy lake while they were at it. The worst part was that Near didn't even seem to notice, he was still playing with his finger puppets.

Matt was currently wearing a light brown shirt that had multiple stains that belonged to multiple substances. His pants were torn at the end and had rips in random places. Through the rips Light could just faintly noticed Matt's legs were wrapped in bandages. Maybe he had tripped?

Mello was the least revolting of all of them. The blond had a black shirt on with dark brown long pants. Thanks to the dark colors of the clothing you couldn't tell if they were dirty or not. His face was covered in dirt. Actually the things that all three of the boys had in common was that they all had greasy hair, and were covered in a layer of dirt, literally!

"Alright" Light stated looking between the teenagers. All three of them looked up giving Light their full attention. "If your going to live here were going to need to give you a bath and a change of clothe" Light continued. All three of the teenager's faces brightened. A bath? Clothing? If there was food in there this place would have to be heaven!

"That's right!" Matsuda chimed. He was pointing his finger in the air while smiling. "We should feed you too" He continued. The three teens were officially grateful and thankful. This place was heaven! And they get to enjoy every minute of it.

Light turned around beginning to lead the group into the castle. He rubbed his temples; he just knew this was going to end up giving him a headache. Not having L's friend here, no that didn't bother him. What was bothering him was how exactly he was going to explain to his parents that he had three more people staying here at the castle? If anyone had any ideas that could help him, please speak up now.

They reached stairways that lead up to the floor that Light's room was in. Currently Matsuda was chatting with Matt again, this time though the gamer was happily listening this time. It was the least he could do these people were going to feed him. Near was thinking up of what he could use now to make his finger puppets. He used to use whatever clothe he found in the floor along with rock for the eyes and a very thin flexible branch for the mouth, for the hair it was whatever he found that could be used. Mello was happily eating a chocolate bar that the kind prince just gave him. You know despite the guy stealing L away from them, he wasn't so bad.

"Thank you"

Light froze.

"What?" He asked turning around to face L who was staring at him with his thumb in his mouth and big black eyes that never really seemed to blink. L shifted from one foot to the other before removing the thumb from his mouth. "Thank you for allowing my friends to stay here" L thanked once again. Light was, to say the least, dumbstruck, he never in the short period that he knew L, think that he would actually thank him.

"Your welcome" Light sated and turned around beginning to ascend the stairs. Behind him L was smiling, if he kept this up Light will eventually trust him more. Maybe, he could even have Light for his own. The group reached Light's bedroom. The second they entered through the door the three teenagers began looking at their surrounding. It was huge! But what could they say? It was a prince's room. The teenagers began looking around the room like they had just found a pile of chocolates, toys and games all in one room.

Light walked over to the closet beginning to look for new clothing to give Near. He found a white shirt, it seemed all right. He turned around and held the shirt up to where Near was standing to see if it would fit him. "Near" He called. Near looked away from the toy soldier that he was currently looking at giving Light all of his attention. "Come and try this on" Light stated. Near put the toy soldier back in it's place; he walked over to Light. He grabbed the shirt that Light was holding out for him and tried it one while Light looked for a pair of pants.

Light rummaged through the clothing in his closet, he couldn't seem to find the pair of pants he wanted. He knew they were there somewhere. He sighed, turned around, jump a bit, and rubbed his forehead. He was spooked at how near Near was, no pun intended. Not only that, but the shirt that Light told him to try on reached the albino boys knees. Light sighed.

Near looked down at the shirt he was wearing, it was too long true, but it was clean. He wished that he had a pair of pajamas though, they looked very comfortable and he once got close enough to touch a pair they were soft. He wondered if the prince had any. With a second though Near walked over to the bed looking under the pillow. Just as he thought, there was a pair of pajamas right there. He picked them up beginning to stare at them.

Light looked up from the closet noticing that Near was staring at his white pajamas. Well they were white and Near did seem to like them. "Keep them I have an extra pair" Light sighed out. Near looked at Light for a second before beginning to put on the PJ's.

"No wait!" Matsuda yelled making Near dropped the pajama's on the floor. Matsuda walked over to the dresser taking out a pair of underwear and handed then to Near. He walked behind the albino boy beginning to push him towards the bathroom. "You have to take a bath first" Near allowed Matsuda to push him into the bathroom while he brain processed what was going on. A second later the albino boy was rushing towards the bathroom thinking "Oh god a BATH!"

Light searched the closet for something to give Matt. He found a dark red shirt somewhere on the ground in the back of the closet. He held it up towards Matt and called out, "Matt" Matsuda stopped talking to Matt when the red head face Light. "Come here" Light called. Matt excused himself from Matsuda and walked towards Light. He grabbed the dark red shirt beginning to study it. Light turned around and found a long sleeve yellow shirt and some dark green pants. Why did he own these things? They were hideous, but Matt seemed to like them.

Matt walked away with the clothing while Light looked at Mello who was currently looking at his War and Economy book. Apparently the blond got bored because he scowled as he slammed the book close and walked to the other side of the room to look at the book on Light's bookshelves. Mello wore a lot of black, and that was something Light knew for a fact he owned.

Light began looking for the black clothes he knew he had somewhere in the closet. He found a black shirt and pants. This will do. "Mello" he called out and the blond instantly responded by walking over to him. Light held out the black clothing for Mello to take. Mello held out the black shirt in front of him. It was… clean. He never had seen any clean clothing before, beside the ones and the market place and the ones that people owned. Now though he had a pair of clean clothing for himself. You maybe Mr. Princey wasn't so bad after all.

The sound of running water that came from the bathroom stopped. The door opened and a clean Near stepped out. The boy-radiated light, what used to be brown skin that was covered in dirt was now Porcelain white. His hair, which used to be greasy and had brown spot, was now smooth and pure white.

Near felt well about the bath, he was clean for once and another thing that he noticed now that he was rid of the dirt layer that used to cover his skin was that, "It is cold here" Wow, no one saw that coming. Matsuda scratched the back of his head, this boy sure was a strange one. He sort of reminds him of a certain panda bear eyed raven head that was currently sitting on Light's bed watching this unfold.

Matt and Mello both looked at each other before Mello walked around the redhead and pushed him towards the bathroom. "Mello what are you doing?" Matt asked as Mello pushed him towards the bathroom. Mello only smirked giving Matt one last hard shove making him trip into the bathroom as Mello followed him in and shut the door.

Light stared at the bathroom. He didn't want to know what was currently happening in his bathroom at the moment, nor did he have the mind to care. No really, his mind had stopped working the second the door to his bathroom closed with the two males in there.

"Your majesty" Matsuda began saying with a smile. "Should I go and tell the chefs to start cooking dinner for our guest? Dinner is in a couple of hours, but I'm sure our guest are hungry" Matsuda finished saying. Light nodded and Matsuda left the room to go tell the chefs to begin cooking.

A loud thump emitted from the bathroom and the three that were still in the room looked over in its direction. Near looked down to his fingers noticing that he was missing his finger puppets. He began looking around the room trying to find the finger puppet, but couldn't. That's when he remembered. They were in the bathroom. Might as well get them.

Near walked over to the bathroom and tested knob when it opened he made a mental note to tell Mello to lock the door every time he went to the bathroom and entered. Light stared awkwardly as Near entered the bathroom. Why was the boy entering there? Didn't he know that you don't enter the bathroom when two males were taking a bath together? A scream from Mello that was intelligible and everything went silent in there. Light did not want to know.

L stared at Light while he stared at the door of the bathroom. The prince was probably not used to seeing two men together since the guy barely got out of the castle. Then again not many males decided to show their affection publicly. L put his arms around Light and hugged him. He felt Light go rigid under him.

"L what exactly do you think your doing?" Light asked slowly and suspiciously. L smiled up at him and let go. Oh well he got a hug better then nothing correct? L noticed a slight tint of red on the prince's cheeks and smiled even wider on the inside. Yep a hug was good.

"Nothing just feeling sympathy for you" L stated. What! L was feeling sympathy for him! What the hell! That was not normal! That's not what was bothering him though, what was bothering him though was the fact that he was starting to feel a tingling sensation going up and down his back. Fuck.

Light was going to tell L never to touch him like that, unless he wants to get thrown out the window, but he realized that L probably would take that too seriously and begin telling him that it wouldn't be a good idea for various reasons. Deciding to avoid getting angry or frustrated he decided not to voice anything, well that and Matsuda just popped into the room stating that the chefs had finished cooking the teenager's food.

Funny thing, Light noticed, at the mention of the slightest food kids between the ages of 13 and 20 pop out of the fucking ground and run towards the kitchen. Light guessed that mentioning food around a pauper teens wouldn't cause them to pop out of the ground, it would give them some sort of super sonic hearing ability, sprout some wings which allowed them to fly towards the area that food was mention in. Though in this case you would hear a loud THUMP some swearing, some rustling, and the door to the bathroom slamming open with three starving teens standing in front of you two seconds later. Damn.

Matsuda smiled at the three that were standing in front of him. Obviously they were starving, what else could have caused them to get out of character while stumbling out o the bathroom. "Your majesty" Matsuda looked up at Light. "May I take them to eat?" Near, Mello, and Matt all turned they heads expectantly at Light.

Light stared at the three thinking this over. Okay they were hungry, there's no getting around the fact that he's going to need to feed them. There is the problem that if his sister just happened to see him with three other boys she's going to accuse him of cheating on Misa (Again). If Misa saw them she would tell his father and mother who in turn would ask him who they were and that would give Light a giant headache since he's planning on letting them know about this at dinner when he could come up with an excuse that would explain why there were three extra people sitting at the table, Light hopes that the three have table manners. Bringing the food to his room is a big NO he isn't going to risk having bugs in his room. That leaves him taking them to the kitchen himself while keeping watch for anyone that might tell Light's parents, Sayu or the blond monkey herself.

"I'll take them," Light stated. L noticed how Matt, Near and Mello's faces all lite up at the idea of finally getting food in their stomach. Admittedly it was a bit tough to notice – except for Mello who always showed his emotions – that they were showing emotions. Near was always with an apathetic mask on playing with his finger puppets. Matt is usually thinking up of new techniques to defeat someone in a game.

Light opened the door to his room he stepped out to make sure that there was no one around before moving out of the way to let the three teens through. He lead then through the hall and down the stairs. Mello began thinking of all the food that this castle had, there was probably chocolate desserts everywhere not only that, but food actual food! Yeah Mr. Princey not bad at all.

Light managed to get the group into the kitchen without getting stopped, but not without a few close calls. One was with Sayu; she was the first. Light had stepped out of the stairs first when he saw Sayu walking down the hall on her way to who knows where. Light had ducked back into the stairways, shut the door, and waited for Sayu to pass. The second time was with Misa she was right around the corner, thankfully her high voice alerted Light and he chose a different route.

"Food!" Mello screamed. He dashed towards a chef that was currently holding a tray full of plates with different types of food. Needless to say that the chefs surprised to see a blond teenager running towards him at top speed, so he dropped the tray and took cover. Light rolled his eyes at the chef. He took a mental note not to head to the kitchen of there was ever a dangerous situation in the castle.

Matt followed the blond intent on getting the blonds face out of tray of food that was on the table and then getting some for himself. Near just took a piece of the first thing he saw beginning to try it, and then he started to eat quickly. Light looked at the three with wide eyes. It couldn't be that bad being poor, you could roll in mud if you wanted too. Why Light thought that he had no clue he only knew that when he was a kid what he wanted to do most was get dirty and stay dirty. Anyways, by look of the speed that three were inhaling food it was hard to be poor.

"Hey Princey!" Mello shouted getting Light's attention. "Do you have anything with chocolate?" Mello asked. He then began looking around the kitchen for any sign of the brown candy.

"We have cake and brownies," A female chef offered. Mello thought this over, but L was next to her in a second. Light stared at the marvels that was L. The man had gotten brownies, cake, cookies, and ice cream. Along with some chocolate milk, tea (or coffee Light could never tell the difference) that was so full of sugar that it literally almost tipped over, and just plain sugar for the hell of it. Now L was also inhaling it. Light recoiled; maybe he should at least attempt to teach the man manners. If Light was going to survive tonight's dinner he probably should starting with the way L held his utensils.

Light walked over to L. He stood behind him grimacing at the man when he dropped his fork and opted to eating with his hands. "The forks there for a reason you know" Light stated as he picked up the fork that L has just put down. Speaking of L he was currently looking over at Light with a blank expression before turning back around to continue eating. Light didn't miss how he had stared at least 2 seconds longer than usual.

"I can see that" L started saying after taking a bite of his cake and chewing it slowly to savor the taste. "Though I do not know exactly for what though" Light almost hit the floor. A two-year-old baby with half a brain knows what a fork is used for. How can L – the man that has gotten under his skin more then a few times these past few weeks – not know what a fork was for? That's just uncanny! "Being a pauper give very little choices of what to eat with" L stated, He seemed to have sensed Light's confusion since he answered his unspoken question. "Normally we eat with our hands" L raised his frosting covered hands "It's what we usually have to eat with" Down goes the hands and back to the cake L goes.

Light sighed, so much for these three – no scratch that four- having table manners. Yeah L has stayed here, but it hasn't even been an entire day. Good god it hasn't been an entire day since L has moved in! And he hasn't told his parents! "That's it I'm teaching you three table manners!" Light screamed swiping the plate of brownies – L had finished eating the cake- out from under him. L's hands hit the table before he turned around to look at Light.

"That was not very polite" Light said as he reached for the plate full of brownies. Light pulled the plate even father away just out of the panda eyed man. L pouted giving Light puppy eyes. Light stared at his eyes almost giving in; L's already big eyes seemed even larger with his head tilted downwards and his eyes looking up. Light's eyes landing on L's lips, which right at the moment seemed kissable? Light felt himself leaning in before he snapped out of his trance and smacked L over the head. "What was that for?" L asked rubbing his head.

Light didn't bother answering. He grabbed some utensils placing them on the table; he then ordered everyone to sit at the table he set the utensils at. L watched as Light directed Mello, Matt, and Near who were unusually obedient to him to their chairs. He hadn't missed the way Light had been staring at his lips, or the way he had leaned in when he pouted.

Note to L:

Pout whenever Light is mad at you.

"There" Light smiled at the group sitting at the table. L was at the head of the table looking directly at him. Matt sat next to Mello who was sitting to the left of L and Near was sitting to the right of L. Light was standing at the other end of the table smiling. "Now you all know how to eat at a table. I need you all to eat like this when we're eating with my family" Light stated.

Mello began to play with the knife twirling it with his fingers. He didn't get what was the point in eating with the utensils. Hands work just as good and when you were done eating you could just suck them clan that's all. There was no washing involved or any worrying, but Mr. Princey needed them to eat with them tonight. The bugger was taking care of them pretty good, so there was no harm in eating with him, he guessed.

Near grabbed some fake grass that was in the flowerpot on the table and placed it on the spoon and fork, he then looked around for anything that could write. He found cake icing on a table near by. He stood up walking over to the table, grabbed the icing drew a face on both the fork and spoon, put back the icing, sat back down at the table like nothing happened. Matsuda sweat dropped. Near was weird.

Matt took out two marbles from his pocket beginning to play with them. He didn't really have anything better to do.

L sat in his strange position watching Light pick up everything. To L Light look like a brunet angel, well maybe not to just him, L thought. There are all the other girls in the kingdom that believed Light to be their angel that was sent down from the heavens for only them. Light's hazel eyes flashed in his direction and L smiled. Light stared for two more seconds before shaking his head of any thoughts and finished picking up the table. L watched him the entire time

A/N: Any one wanna be my Beta? You get to read my stories (Erm chapters) before anyone else! Another thing, I got a challege for you (take it if you want) L seems like someone you could write a nersery rhyme about. Anyone wanna give it a shot?
