Hey there my lovely readers. I know I lost a few readers due to my long writing break, but Im gonna try to earn them back.
Here's a short chapter just to give you an idea of what's going to happen. There's still a lot to figure out about the connection between everyone. I can't wait to see what you guys think, but for now, lets just enjoy the slow pace of the story.
Disclaimer: We do not own Death Note..it's a sad but true fact.

The raven haired child dropped the now bloodied blade with trembling hands. The rims of his eyes were getting sore by the second from how wide he was opening them. He couldn't find his words..everytime he attempted to speak, they would get caught in his throat and come out as more of a croak. He closed his hands and opened them repeatedly. He could feel the warm substance slowly becoming sticky and thick between his fingers. His crimson eyes shot down to the two corpses in front of him. Twice he looked from one to the other..
'Accident...it was an accident...accident...it was an accident..wasn't it? It-It is not my fault...accident...i-it was an accident' He chanted this mentally for what felt like hours. Looking down at the dead man at his knees, the boy reached out his still trembling arm, His fingers were a blur when stretched forward. He brought his hand down on the man's face and turned it to face him. He felt a knot in his stomach while looking into the man's wide lifeless blue eyes that still looked fear stuck. But the feeling quickly subsided while he scanned his eyes over the several vital wounds that were scattered among his body. The boy suddenly felt the corner of his lips tugging upwards from the sight. The man's shirt that used to be white, now drenched in his own blood. The grinning child watched the man's blood stained face in entertainment, wishing he could cause more pain to him if he weren't already dead. The shift in his emotion didn't seem to matter to him at the moment. Just the feeling of dominance, being feared...It felt good. Of course, to Beyond Birthday, that was a bit of an understatement.
Before he knew it, he threw his head back in a wild choky laugh. He stared at the ceiling, his vision going red as the laughs tore through his throat. They almost sounded painful. He hadn't even realized how far backwards he was bending until the upside down view of a petite and feminine boy caught his attention. His laughter stopped, but it still trailed in an echo for a few more seconds before the room was completely silent again. Even upside down, he could see the pain and fear present in the child's light blue convulsed eyes.
Beyond's wide grin slowly worked it's way into a hard line, but his eyes were still filled with amusement as he stared at the younger. The child reached up to his face to wipe his reddened nose with the back of his sleeve without taking his eyes from Beyond.
" Mommy and Daddy are dead now...you did this...it's your fault they're dead...it's your fault...you killed them..you killed Mommy and Daddy" The boys voice was monotone yet so full of emotion. At that moment Beyond once again couldn't speak..he couldn't laugh..not while looking in the eyes of the heart broken boy.
Without any further warning, Beyond felt the sudden unbearable tight grip of hands on his throat. He jerked himself upright and stared in horror at what was the cause of this. In front of him was the face of the dead woman..at least he thought she was dead. She still had a frightful and lifeless appearance. Her skin was cold and gray, her eyes weren't the bright ,cheerful, hazel orbs they used to be..They now were now full of hatred, betrayal, and above all..darkness. Beyond couldn't find his muscles to move any limb. He could only sit in horror as the corpse of the woman strangled him with as much force as she could. She then brought her other hand over his throat, adding on to the pressure to crush his wind pipe. He couldn't manage to gasp for breath..hell he couldn't even control his eyes anymore. They rolled to the back of his head, causing him to not see the corpse woman's next move. She dragged her self up to his face to stare into his absent eyes. Beyond could hear her gurggling inches from his face. It was almost as if she were trying to say something, but alas, it didn't seem likely for her to. Her throat was slit widely open and every time she attempted a word, more blood would gush from the wound and her mouth making speech impossible.
The woman didn't seem to care about the amount of blood she was losing or even seem to feel it. Her long black hair draped over her blood stained face , some of it sticking to her forehead and lips. He rolled her head in a lazy circle to move it from her view to stare at the soffocating Beyond Birthday in her hands. She coughed several times, blooded splattering against Beyond's face. She then made one last attempt to speak.
Although, Those last words that she said before dropping dead and releasing Beyond were muttered and pushed...Beyond understood them completely. He didn't want to believe what she said was true, how could it be from the actions that just took place? But he knew of her feelings oh too well to deny it. Even with what he did to her..she felt this way in life and now in death..
I still love you..

Beyond forced his eyes open, not being able to take much more of the vivid nightmare. He sat up quickly only to feel a wet cloth plop into his lap from his forehead.
"Y-you were having another nightmare weren't you?" Said a familiar voice full of concern. Beyond shifted his eyes to the cross-dressed dainty male sitting beside him.
Genesis gently pushed his older sibling's hair from his forehead, picked up the wet cloth again and started dabbing.
"It was the same one...the same one I've been having almost every night for years." Beyond answered, his tone abnormally calm and serious. He brought a hand to his face to cover his eyes, but the visions of the nightmare was still visible even when hidden behind eyelids. Genesis froze. He had heard about that dream several times, and each time he heard it, he would be afraid to fall asleep himself.
"Oh.." Was all he could think to say at the moment. He tried thinking of things to lighten his brother's mood, but came to no solutions. Genesis slowly moved the cool wet towel down to Beyond's chest and began dabbing, trying to cool his body temperature a bit. Beyond closed his eyes at the touch, but fluttered them open to glance at his sibling. Genesis didn't seem aware of his gaze. He looked to his eyes. Those same eyes that had bored into him those years ago so full of anxiety, doubt..hate
Were now so loving and trustworthy. Why? How? How after everything he did to him can he still possibly love him?
It didn't make sense to him. But if She could...then it wasn't impossible for him to be able to as well.
Sometimes when he couldn't sleep, he would think that that may be the reason for the way he treated Genesis. To see if he was capable of leaving him. Of losing the love he had for him. Even if Genesis decided to run away, Beyond knew that he would go after him..but after learning that there's a limit to how much the younger could take of him..what then? Would he still "punish" him? What would he do to him?
'What then..?' He thought to himself.
"Beyond" Genesis finally spoke again. Beyond blinked once.
"What.."
"You should probably get some more rest. You eyes are red" Genesis joked with a small smile. Beyond grinned at the corny joke and pulled his sibling into a tight hold.
"Haha..you sleigh me.."
