PREVIOUSLY:
Shuddering slightly, Light curled up into a fetal position and fell into a restless sleep plagued with nightmares of murder and winged creatures with frighteningly sharp teeth.

L looked up from his computer across the small plane towards where Light was sitting, unconscious.
The detective frowned slightly when his ears picked up a quiet whine coming from Light.
The two had left for England early that morning after Light had explained how he had a massive fear of heights and had requested a sleeping pill.
L's stomach fell slightly at a sudden realization.
If I didn't love Light. He thought, placing his thumb between his lips and watching Light shift in his sleep. And I had discovered that he was Kira. No. That he and Kira shared the same body, I would have taunted him. Made fun of him.
Shaking those morbid thoughts out of his head, L turned back to his computer, though he attention was drawn back to the boy across from him every time Light whimpered quietly.
After fifteen minutes, L found himself becoming tired. It wasn't uncommon for him to push himself to his limit and then pass out for a few hours. And it had been a few weeks since he'd fallen asleep in the hospital with Light.
Biting back a yawn, L closed his laptop and tried to find a comfortable way to sit in order to catch a few hours of sleep.
Light's clearly having a nightmare. L thought tiredly as his eyes started to fall closed. I should wake him up.
Before he could even make a move, L's head dipped forward and he fell asleep.

Light was gasping for air, running through an endless dark void. There was laughter echoing all around. It was his but at the same time...not.
He cried out when he tripped, hitting the ground hard.
"Did you really think you could get rid of me?"
Light turned to find what he had tripped over, letting out a scream when he came face to face with L's dead body.
"Kira," Light whispered, body frozen in place. The formless voice of Kira laughed loudly
"My dear boy," his voice - Light's voice - was taunting. "We are one in the same. But you don't remember that, do you? Of course not. Because I was kind and I removed your memories. BUt no worries. I've ensured my survival. You will remember and you will begin our work to become the God of this new world once again."
"I won't kill L," Light whispered, tears blurring his vision. "You can't make me."
"Oh, dear child," Kira crooned. "L is all part of the plan. He's no use to me dead. No, Light Yagami. I need L Lawliet alive in order to become God."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Light jerked forward, breath caught in his lungs. His head was pounding and his body was numb as he struggled to unclasp his seat belt in time to stumble to the bathroom in time to heave violently.
Of course, he had been unable to force himself to eat and so nothing but bile came up.
When he finally managed to calm himself back down, Light stumbled to his feet and slowly made his way back towards his seat.
He dropped bonelessly down and looked over to find L uncommonly asleep. He looked innocent and childlike which brought a small smile to Light's face.
"Oh, dear child," Kira crooned. "L is all part of the plan. He's no use to me dead. No, Light Yagami. I need L Lawliet alive in order to become God."
Light shuddered violently, freezing when a sudden thought came to him.
Kira needs L alive. So if I...if I kill L, does that mean I stop Kira? Or is that what he wants me to think? Would killing L be playing right into Kira's hands? Oh God, no. What the hell am I thinking?
Light curled in on himself, clutching his head in his hands as he began to hyperventilate.
Oh god, oh god, oh god. Light chanted over and over and over. Tears blurred his vision and it was becoming increasingly harder to breath. Realistically, Light knew he should probably wake L up so the detective could help him, but panic was overriding rational thought and so the teen remained where he was, vision slowly fading to black as he struggled to breath.
Oh god. He thought, closing his eyes and clutching his chest when it burned for air and his body went lax in his seat. Oh god. I...I thought about killing L. I actually considered killing him.
Distantly, Light thought he heard someone's voice calling his name and a soft hand on his face, but the lack of oxygen was getting to his head and so his body chose to lose consciousness instead.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
L had heard lots of sounds as a detective and so had learned how to ignore certain sounds. Still, the sound that woke him up was ringing in his mind as one he desperately needed to respond to.
Still, L took his time in waking up, glancing over at Light for a brief moment before turning to his laptop.
Until his mind processed and put together Light and the noise he was hearing.
L jumped to his feet and moved over to Light as the boy's body went lax, barely breathing.
"Light, can you hear me?" L called, trying to stay calm and keep his mind clear. He placed his hands on Light's face, trying to draw the panicking boy back into the present. "Light, can you breath for me?"
When Light lost consciousness, still struggling for air, L jumped into action, grabbing the oxygen mask and canister that he and Watari kept on hand at all times.
Being as gentle as possible, L carefully slid the mask over Light's face, standing close to the boy until he was sure Light's breathing had straightened out.
After that, L kept his attention on Light, not even bothering to do anything else on his laptop. The boy had been hyperventilating and crying.
Nightmare then. L mused, placing his thumb between his lips. Or something worse. I could always ask him about it when he wakes up. But the chance of him telling me is less than twenty percent.
Sighing quietly, L readjusted his position to get comfortable, idly wondering how much longer until they touched down in England.
There were a few things L had decided not to tell Light just yet seeing as the boy would definitely be suffering from jet lag for a few days.
One of which was that L was going to admit the Yagami boy to the mental asylum after he got over the jet lag.
Which meant he was going to be allowing Light to stay at Whammy House for a few days.
Which meant Light was going to meet or rather "be interrogated" by L's successors.
Suddenly, L's flawless plan had a few holes.

So what did you guys think? Was it good? Bad? Does L's plan have a few holes? I mean, think about it. Mello and Near (I'm not sure who Matt is and if he is a successor so he won't be in it. Sorry) will know that Light was a Kira suspect and so they will presume (seeing as L has brought Light with him) that Light is Kira.
Light doesn't remember he's Kira, though he had that nightmare. Chances are, this isn't going to end too well.
Not to mention that Light is still trying to cope with being sexuall assaulted.
What are the chances he might...I dunno. Hurt himself? Out of stress?
Let me know what you think about that.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE CHAPTER!
THANKS!
