Chapter two:

Sun down.

Feather freedoms.

No one's P.O.V.

Beyond and Always run through the woods for a small run cause they felt like it before going back to the house.

Beyond looks like L but he prefers to wear a long sleeved black shirt along with slightly tinted dark jeans and his eyes are red since he was born with the shinigami eyes, those being the main differences other than personality and age.

Always has sea blue eyes and has light brown that goes to just an inch below his ears. He is wearing a navy blue pull over hoodie, slightly baggy jeans and black runners. He has fair skin and is seen by a lot as quite the beauty.

Beyond is fifteen years old and Always is fourteen years old. They are boyfriends and love each other deeply.

Beyond's partner in flight is a magpie.

Always partner in flight is a meadowlark.

Sometimes the two go by A and BB.

Beyond slows down to a halt and Always stops next to him.

"What is it?" Always asks.

Beyond smirks and cups Always face in his hands. "Oh I just thought I could steal your breath away." He kisses Always and Always kisses him back.

Always wraps his arms around Beyonds neck and one of Beyonds hands tangle themselves in Always silky soft hair. They kiss for a little bit then break apart.

"It worked." Beyond smiles as he sees Always slightly breathless.

Meanwhile with L ….

L heads out into the forest and towards the border to check if he spots anyone not a Feather freedom in the territory.

He comes to the border and spots someone inside the territory. Not just anyone but someone he had seen on the Barens territory as one of them.

The intruder is wearing brown pants, black runners, a black t-shirt and has brown hair. He is facing away from L right now.

So L sneaks up behind him but the man turns around and smiles at L.

Light's P.O.V.

I hear a soft shuffle of feet and turn around to see a beautiful angel.

His hair is jet black and spikey. He has wide grey eyes with dark bags under them. He is wearing a cotton white long sleeved shirt and baggy jeans. He is walking with bare feet and he slouches. He kinda looks like a panda in a way, a really cute one. What really catches my eyes is the two robin feathers in his hair.

"Why hello there." I smile at him.

He remains emotionless but narrows his eyes without showing emotion somehow. "You are in Feather freedom territory. Leave or die." He warns.

"A beauty such as yourself is a Feather freedom? I am liking you guys already." I put a finger under his chin. "How about a deal? Your name and I'll leave your territory."

He pushes my hand away gently and stares into my eyes.

I patiently wait for his answer.

"L. Lawliet." He sighs.

"See that wasn't so hard. Now how about you meet me at the border tomorrow night? I would love to see a beauty such as yourself again." I purr slightly as I speak.

He looks away with the smallest of blush dusting his cheeks almost easily to overlook. "I guess I could."

"It's a date." I grin and walk off the Feather freedoms territory into my own group's territory happy.

L's P.O.V.

I feel all warm inside.

Could this be love?

No way! I can't fall in love with a Baren!

However… maybe this could work…. It's worth a try.

I turn to head back to the house.

The younger ones are most likely getting ready for bed right now.

Near's P.O.V.

I wonder who my partner in flight is going to be.

A swan? What about a raven? Or maybe a jay?

I stare at the ceiling thinking about all the different kinds of birds out there.

I feel as though I will not be getting sleep tonight.

The next day.

Near's P.O.V.

Sometime during the night I had somehow drifted asleep and woke up the next day. It happened as I had closed my eyes and awoke that morning.

I sit up and stretch. After a quick stretch I look over to Silver who is still asleep in his bed next to mine. I decide to not wake him and I quietly get out of bed.

Heading downstairs I smell breakfast being cooked.

I peek into the kitchen to see some of those that can cook cooking eggs.

The kitchen is huge! It has two walk in fridges, a walk in pantry and tons of other things that I really don't care about.

"Ah little Nate good morning." Always greets me as he walks past me into the kitchen.

"Morning Always." I respond and head down to the relaxing room.

The relaxing room is all windows and is attached to the side of the gigantic house. It's big with a fireplace, many couches, a radio and books on a book shelf. The tinted grey, not because of dirt its actual color is tinted grey, carpet is really soft and always smells so good.

I wasn't the only one wanting some relaxation time.

"Good morning sir." I bow to our leader.

Our leader is named Jack. He has ginger hair that reaches to his ear lobes and his eyes are a green that reminds everyone of freshly sprouted grass. He is wearing a somewhat tightfitting quarter sleeve orange colored shirt, it shows off his well-built figure. He is also wearing normal flannel jeans and no shoes or socks. His partner in flight is a falcon. He looks to me and stands. "You may rise."

I stand up to how I normally stand from my bowing position.

He comes over to me and puts a hand on my head with a smile. "You'll grow to be a strong Feather freedom. I can see the spirit in your eyes and I believe you will help end the war between us and the Barens. However." He crouches so he can look closer into my eyes. "You cannot do it alone. Remember that you can do great things but you can never do it alone." He then stands and leaves.

I watch him go going over his words in my head.

L's P.O.V.

I am in my room.

Some decide to share a room for one reason or another since we have space but I room alone and it doesn't bother me at all.

I look out the window and can't help but feel excited for meeting that male again.

Jack leaves the house and I watch him from the window I am looking out of.

His son Flitter comes out behind him. Flitter is a nineteen year old male and second in command until his father retires or dies. Flitter has a purple martin as his partner in flight. His hair is dyed dark green and his eyes are like pools of melted bronze. He wears a light purple pull over sweater that doesn't have a hood and grey sweatpants.

It looks like they are talking but about what I wonder.

Not my place to know unless they want to tell me though which is a two percent chance it is something they'll tell me, I turn and change into another pair of the clothes I wear every day.

Kira's P.O.V

Feather freedoms deserve to burn! They don't accept our ways and say we are doing things wrong when they do things wrong!

I slam my fist onto the table in front of me. "They are nothing more than savages."

However….

My brother Light wants to know more about them….. An exploration into their territory tomorrow will make him regret.

It's the perfect plan!

My girlfriend Misa comes into the room. "Kira?"

I look to her. "Yes love?"

She comes over and sits on my lap.

I move my hand from the table to hold her hand.

"Light is going on and on about the Feather freedoms again. I don't get what he sees in them." She snuggles against my chest. "They deserve to die."

"Yes they do. I'll take Light into their territory and show him that there is nothing good about them. I promise I won't get hurt." I add the last part because I know how much she worries.

Misa just nods.
