Chapter 49! A proposal? Well you have to wait for that one lol I've done a 4 day time skip, so it will be the 13th of August 2002 and that means Beyond Birthday would have claimed his 3rd victim which would be Backyard Bottomslash. I plan to let Beyond Birthday die in the year 2007 like the anime, so he will be around until Eva is nearly 4 years old. Thanks for the reviews as always.

I hope you enjoy this chapter :)


It was four days later, you lay curled up on your bed and watched Beyond pacing up and down the room. He looked at you a few times and smiled. After five minutes he stopped, he walked over towards the bed and crouched down next to it.

' What's up with you today?' You asked as you leant on your hand and smiled at Beyond.' You seem on edge.'

Beyond smirked as placed his hand on your baby bump and sighed.' I've just got a lot on my mind today, it's nothing for you to worry about my dear. How are you feeling?'

You rested your hand on top of Beyond's hand and smiled.' I'm good, I'm just tired and hungry.'

Beyond glanced towards the alarm clock on the bedside table and sighed.' I'm going out for a few hours, do you need anything before I go out?'

' I want some milk, strawberry jam, chocolate chip cookies and a goodbye kiss.' You smiled.

Beyond chuckled as he took your hand and kissed it.' Okay, I'll get anything you desire...'

' Okay, where's B and what have you done with him?' You laughed.

' He went out for strawberry jam...' Chuckled Beyond, he got up from the floor and walked towards the kitchen.' Sit tight and I'll get you everything you want..'

You got out of your bed and followed Beyond into the kitchen. You sat down at the kitchen table and watched him pour milk into a glass.

' I can get stuff for myself B, you don't have to act like my slave all the time...' You sighed.

' Does that make you my mistress then? I do like the idea of that...' Chuckled Beyond.

' I guess it does...' You laughed, you leant on your hand and watched Beyond walk towards you.' So, where are you going tonight?'

Beyond placed the glass of milk down in front of you and walked over towards the fridge.' No where important, so don't you worry about it my dear...'

' B...' You sighed.

Beyond grabbed a jar of strawberry jam from the fridge, a packet of cookies from a cupboard and walked back over to the kitchen table.

' What?' Asked Beyond

You ran your finger tip around the rim of the glass and sighed.' You know I will worry right...'

Beyond placed the packet of cookies and the jar of strawberry jam down on the kitchen table.' I'll be back before you know it, eat your cookies and be a good girl for me.'

' I'm not a child B...' You smiled, sat up straight on the chair and sighed. ' Maybe you should learn to be a good boy and stop playing with knives.'

Beyond undid the lid on the jam jar, he opened the packet of cookies for you and chuckled.' I do enjoy playing with knives, do you need anything else before I go?'

You picked up a cookie from the packet and dipped it into the jam jar.' No, I plan to eat and then go to bed...'

' That's fine by me...' Smirked Beyond, he dip his finger tip into the jar of jam and sucked the jam from his finger tip.' Now remember to lock the door behind me...'

' Okay...' You nodded.

Beyond picked up his black sports bag from under the kitchen table, he then walked towards the apartment door and opened it.

' Ain't you forgetting something...' You sighed, you got up from the chair and walked over towards the door.' You didn't give me a goodbye kiss.'

' Oh how thoughtless of me...' Chuckled Beyond.

You wrapped your arms around Beyond's neck and kissed his lips.' Be careful...'

' I'm always careful...' Smirked Beyond, he kissed your cheek and sighed.' Now I should really get going...'

' Okay...' You pouted, you removed your arms from around his neck and sighed.' I love you.'

' I love you too...' Smirked Beyond, he gave you a quick peck on the lips and chuckled.

' Goodbye...' You smiled.

Beyond licked his lips and put his hood up on his hoody.' You taste delicious my dear, I want more!'

You giggled as Beyond kissed you again, you push him away from you and smiled.' I'll give you more kisses later!'

' Promise?' Asked Beyond as he walked through the doorway.

' I promise...' You smiled.

You watched Beyond walk down the corridor, you closed the apartment door and locked it. You went to have something eat, had a shower and then went to bed.


A few hours later you were awoken by insane laughter, you sat up in your bed and looked around the dark apartment. You looked over towards the bathroom and saw a light coming from under the bathroom door. You got out of bed, you walked over slowly towards the bathroom and placed your hand on the door handle.

You slowly opened the door, you saw Beyond's hand appeared from behind the door and stopped you from opening it.

' B, are you okay?' You asked.

' Don't come in!' You heard Beyond quietly saying from behind the bathroom door. ' Go back to sleep!'

' What are you doing in there?!' You asked as you peeped through the gap between the door and the door frame. ' Please let me in!'

' Please do as you are told...' Whispered Beyond as his other hand appeared through the gap of the doorway and touched your face with his finger tips.' Go back to bed my dear!'

You shooed Beyond's hand away from your face, you felt something wet on your hand and looked down at it as you whispered.' Blood...'

' SJ, go to bed!' Yelled.

' Beyond! Please let me in, you're scaring me now!' You yelled, you banged on the bathroom door and frowned.' Why are your hands covered in blood?!'

' I don't want you to come in the bathroom...' Chuckled Beyond.

' I'll leave the apartment if you don't let me in the bathroom right now!' You yelled as you let go of the door handle and crossed your arms.' B! I mean it!'

Beyond slowly pulled the bathroom door open with his hand, he leant his hand on the frame of the doorway and smirked at you. Blood trickled down the door frame from his black shirts sleeve, his dark hair stuck to his face and his crimson eyes seemed more brighter than normal.

Your eyes grew wide as you saw blood smeared across Beyond's cheek, you placed your hand on the door frame and frowned. ' Oh god B! What have you been doing?! Are you okay?!'

Beyond stared at you as he put his finger tip to his bottom lip and smirked. 'I'm fine! I've been playing my game that's all, this is not my blood...'

' Who's blood is it then?' You asked as you then took a few deep breaths and looked into the bathroom.

Beyond shrugged his shoulders as he walked back into the bathroom, he crouched down by the bathtub and chuckled.' Just some woman's blood, her lifespan was coming to an end anyway. I was doing her a favor by giving her a painless death...'

You watched Beyond turn on the taps to the bathtub, he put the plug into the plug hole and got up from the floor.

' I'm never going to understand why you are doing this, why do you want to surpass L so badly?' You asked.

Beyond pulled his black shirt over his head and threw it into the sink.' To prove that I'm better than him...'

You walked into the bathroom, you put the toilet seat down and sat down on it.' You can't keep doing this, what if you get caught? Have you even thought about what would happen to me and Eva if you did get caught? It would kill me if I couldn't be with you, I'm so scared at times...'

Beyond turned the taps off in the bathtub and looked over at you.' I'll not get caught, I'm always careful and you are not going to die yet.'

' B...' You sighed.

' My game is coming to an end very soon, so please stop worrying...' Smirked Beyond.

You began to play with the blue butterfly on your necklace and sighed.' Then we can be a family right?'

Beyond walked over towards you and crouched down in front of you.' Of course! You and Eva are my world.'

' You say that, but do you really mean it?' You asked.

' Didn't you hear what I said to you four days ago?' Asked Beyond as he took hold of your hands and smiled.

You looked down at Beyond and smiled weakly at him.' I heard something, but I was to busy throwing up and I don't know if I heard you right...'

Beyond chuckled as he placed his forehead on your hands.' I should have waited for a better moment to ask, oh well!'

' What were you going to ask?' You asked.

' Nothing...' Smirked Beyond, he got up from in front of you and let go of your hands.' Why don't you go and get back into bed. I'll come and join you in a while.'

You stood up and kissed Beyond's cheek.' Okay, just tidy up after yourself this time...'

Beyond placed his hands on your hips and kissed your forehead' Are sure you are okay with what I have done? I promise you I'm not going to kill anyone else, she is my last pawn piece...'

You placed your hands on Beyond's chest and looked up at him.' I can live with what you have done, I'll always forgive you because I love you and want a life with you. Just promise me you will never play anymore games again after this one.'

' I promise, now get yourself to bed.' Smiled Beyond.

You left Beyond in the bathroom, you got into your bed and looked up at the ceiling. You thought about the poor woman Beyond had killed, you tried to push the thoughts into the back of your mind. You heard Beyond singing from the bathroom, you couldn't help but smile to yourself as you listened to him sing and it was not long before he had finished in the bathroom.

You watched Beyond switch the light of in the bathroom, he walked over towards the bed and smiled at you.

' I've not heard you sing for a long time...' You yawned.

Beyond got into the bed, he rolled on his side and chuckled.' Did you like it?'

You rolled on your side and touched cheek with your finger tips.' It was nice...'

' Good...' Smirked Beyond.

You leant forward towards Beyond's face, you kissed his lips and smiled.' I wish I could snuggle closer to you, but Eva is between us now. I really could do with a hug about now...'

Beyond slowly ran his finger tips down your arm and smirked.' It doesn't matter, I will hug you as best as I can...'

' You're sweet...' You smiled.

' I'm not sweet!' Chuckled Beyond as he leant forward and gently kissed your lips.
