HOLY CRAP, DICLAIMER!: I don't own death note, its characters, or Hellsing, which I had failed to mention earlier. My bad; I should have snuck that one in.
McFuzzy: Okay, so this is the last chapter before I leave for five days, so don't fret because I will continue as soon as I get back, I promise!
Light: Please, don't even bother….
McFuzzy: Putting Light's comment aside, I just watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time. Omg, I cried like a baby at the end. Then I cried more because of Heath Ledger. All in all I just cried a lot.
Ryuuzaki: Yes, his death was unfortunate.
Light: I know! He was one hot piece of beef cake.
McFuzzy: Ummm…
Ryuuzaki: It seems as if I have competition…
McFuzzy: Well, not technically because he's dead and you're not.
Ryuuzaki: True, true.
Light: Gah! Quit debating who I'm going to be with! Just get on with the story! (I still like L best.)
Ryuuzaki: Very good.
Chapter 9 – Helpless –
Light and Ryuuzaki were sitting at the bottom of the train car. Light would have protested, but Ryuuzaki had his hand over his mouth, and Light was desperately trying to bite it.
"Raito-kun is advised to be quiet." Light nodded his head and Ryuuzaki removed his hand.
"What's going on? Are we in danger?"
"Very much so, Raito-kun. When I send him back up to meet with his coworkers, he will see N." Light's eyes widened in surprise.
"Do not show emotion, and do not look him in the eye." Light nodded and sighed.
"Wait, what about you?"
"I will find Raito-kun later when he is well out of sight. As for now, I want him to go meet with his friends."
Before Light could reply, Ryuuzaki turned him around and gently placed his lips on Light's, earning a loud smooch when he let go.
Light was blushing furiously and was far too shocked to even respond.
"That will hide your scent." With that, Ryuuzaki disappeared below Light, leaving him sitting there in utter bewilderment, not even able to protest. He was sure that if Ryuuzaki had stayed his face would have caught on fire.
He cursed to himself and morphed through the train car cautiously, in order to avoid any witnesses. He met up with his gang while they were waiting outside for him.
"What's wrong, Raito-kun?" Matsuda and the rest stared at Light. Am I still blushing?
"Nothing. Ryuuzaki told me he had an important phone call to take, and that he would meet up with us later."
Light cleared his head and found his composure. He looked around, trying to find suspicious looking people. Ryuuzaki had said N was near, and he wanted to have his face for future reference.
Let's see… Light ignored his blathering teammates waiting for their cab. There! Light's eyes widened as he saw the strangest looking figure sitting at one of the train's ramen shops.
He had snow white hair and he was sitting hunched, just like Ryuuzaki did. Light observed him more closely, and noticed that he looked a lot like Ryuuzaki. He wasn't exactly sure as to what he should think of this. While he was gaping, Light noticed his cab pull up.
He had a good visual of the enemy, and now all he had to do was find the right moment and method of destruction. He considered he would have to confer with Ryuuzaki before doing anything rash.
"This is our cab; do your best everyone!" Light gave a very bright and very fake smile which seemed to make everyone happy. They were like clay in his hands, and he loved it.
--
About an hour later, the cab had stopped in its tracks and dropped them off.
This was bad, very bad. Light clenched his stomach in pain. There was an undead around. He hadn't had the feeling for a while, but Light was getting more comfortable with it, almost to the point where he could hide it safely.
However, it didn't get rid of the fact that there was still an undead around. He thought carefully about his situation.
If his crew saw him running from and invisible specter, they would most likely throw him in the mad house.
However, if he ignored it and it found him, he could be mauled in front of everyone. If Light tried to fight it while around them, they would either discover his secret or still throw him in a mad house.
Light made a conclusion; he had to separate himself from his crew in order to avoid discovery or the thought of him being mad.
They all started walking -- Aizawa with a map in his hands – blindly walking around unknown territory. Light cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"Everyone, I would like for you to continue going to Ray Penbar's house. If I am correct, there is a small café just a few blocks from his house. Stay there until I meet up with you, then we will continue as planned."
"Why would you want to do that?" Aizawa shot Light a dirty look.
"I need to familiarize myself with this territory so that if the worst happens, we will be prepared to escape." Everyone just shrugged.
"Fine then, when will we expect you to meet us?"
"In about an hour or two. I won't take too much time." With that, Light sent them off, even with a protesting Matsuda.
When they were finally out of sight, Light let out an exasperated sight. He clenched his stomach again. It was closer.
Light was a bit nervous, but he decided to seek it out. After all, he got the feeling whenever Ryuuk was around, and Ryuuk never harmed him. However, the feeling went away after a while with Ryuuk.
He was on a main street covered in cobblestone. His feet clicked every time he took a step. When he reached an entrance to a back alley, the feeling got instantly stronger.
"I think I know where it's coming from at least." He winced in pain as he got closer to the source. Suddenly, he thought of Ryuuzaki.
It had almost been an hour since he had seen him last, and being without his protection made him uncomfortable. He touched his lips and thought about the kiss. He blushed and angrily stomped forward.
Lately Ryuuzaki had been very touchy feely with Light, and he could never tell if it was actually for Light's benefit.
Maybe Ryuuzaki had devised some sort of evil plot for Light's demise; earn his trust then kill him when he least expects it. He thought about it some more. In all actuality, he had no reason he should trust Ryuuzaki.
He had only known him for a week for Christ's sake! However, Light considered Ryuuzaki rescuing him from the werewolf at the hospital and from being discovered by N.
Otherwise, Light had no proof that Ryuuzaki was chosen to be his "guardian". He still had six months left before he completely turned into the God of Death, or so Ryuuzaki said.
He made a decision then and there. He would not trust Ryuuzaki for anything accept to be his tool in advancing his talents and protecting him.
He would make sure that Ryuuzaki wouldn't have an edge over Light, no matter what.
Light fell to his knees.
"Shit…" The feeling was so strong that Light couldn't bare it. He was at somewhat of an intersection; one direction went left and the other went right.
He was afraid to look around any corner at risk of being detected or seeing something he really didn't want to.
He went with his gut instincts and decided that whatever was making this feeling was on the path to the right. He put his body against the wall and crept up to where it turned.
If the creature was there, he wondered why it hadn't come after him. Did it not know he was there?
Light remembered Ryuuzaki's kiss. It didn't know Light was there because his scent was hidden, thanks to Ryuuzaki. Light silently thanked him for his weird, if not disturbing, tricks of the trade.
He poked his head around the corner, being very quiet all the while, and saw nothing. He was sure it would be there. Suddenly, Light froze in his tracks.
He heard a very hard breathing coming from his left, and it sounded like it was dying. He reluctantly turned his head and he instantly paled. There it was, a black floating thing. Its back was turned to Light.
He squinted to see what it was doing, only to find that it was standing over a dead rat's body. It was just floating there, breathing.
He wasn't sure what to think of the situation, but he figured it would be best not to attract its attention, especially since he considered that fact that it had killed the rat.
He silently shuffled back behind the wall and put a hand to his pounding chest. When he came back around, he saw two men leaning against the wall smoking cigarettes.
"Yo, pretty boy! You wanna come join us?" Light grimaced at them, but froze in shock as he heard the breathing come towards him. It heard them! He turned around and saw the thing staring strait into his eyes.
He looked at its face, which was shrouded in a hood, but he could see a skull underneath of it. He backed away slowly as he tried to remember where the creature was familiar from. The men behind Light were looking at him strangely.
"What's the matter cutie? Are you nuts or something?" At that, Light remembered. A wraith! Light turned around and started running like mad out of the alley, noticing that the specter was following close behind.
The two men looked at Light as he ran past them with all of his might. One of the men looked at the other.
"I told you you're not hot."
Light ran as fast as he could, feeling the wraith on his heels. It let out a disgusting shriek, one that made Light feel like vomiting. It was like a wail and a scream at the same time; it was horrible. This was bad.
Light remembered the paths he has taken in the labyrinth of alleyways and realized that he could lose the wraith if he made it so it couldn't find him.
He dashed around one corner then turned around another one. He still saw the wraith behind him, but it was lagging a considerable amount more.
He smirked and turned around another corner and took two sharp right turns where there were multiple directions to go. He was glad that he was in shape, otherwise it might have caught him.
He heard it cry again, noticing it had found the path that Light had taken. Light continued to run, but figured it would be a piece of cake to ditch it because it was so far behind.
Then it happened.
When Light was running, a jagged piece of cobblestone caught Light's shoe and he tumbled to the ground. He winced in pain as he tried to stand up, but he noticed that his ankle hurt like hell.
As the wraith got closer, it let out another blood curdling scream and quickened its pace. Oh no, its going in for the kill. Light stumbled to his feet and limped forward as fast as he could.
Like hell he would die right now!
His efforts were futile as he saw it getting rapidly closer. Light cursed to himself. He turned around to try and face it head on.
Before the wraith had time to reach Light, Ryuuzaki jumped down from the rooftop that was above. Light couldn't believe his eyes.
He saw Ryuuzaki take one swipe at it with his arm and the wraith screamed in pain. It's remains fell to the ground like a pile of ashes.
Light was panting from all of the running. He saw blood oozing out of Ryuuzaki's arm as he walked towards Light.
"Ryuuzaki! Your arm!" Light pointed at it in horror. He felt bad that he had gotten that badly hurt for Light.
Ryuuzaki looked at his arm and the bleeding suddenly stopped. He watched as the blood that had fallen on the ground turned into a mass pile of gelatinous goop as it made it's way up Ryuuzaki's body. It slowly sunk back into his body, and Light gaped in shock.
"Are you okay?" Light was almost afraid to ask.
"Of course Raito-kun. I have a very powerful blood; the wraith did not do this to me." Light figured as much.
"Your blood is like a weapon, then?"
"Precisely." Light limped over to Ryuuzaki and sunk his fist right below his eye, sending him flying backwards.
"You bastard! Where were you? You're supposed to be protecting me and yet you almost let me die?" Light was fuming. Ryuuzaki shot up off of the ground and ran towards Light.
Light dodged and grabbed Ryuuzaki by the back of his shirt. Using this to his advantage, Ryuuzaki grabbed Light's offending arm and twirled him around, pulling him to his lips.
His lips smothered Light's in a deep kiss as he licked at them for entrance. Light was frozen in Ryuuzaki's arms; he couldn't move. He was blushing while Ryuuzaki gazed widely into Light's eyes.
Ryuuzaki's arms were snaked around Light's waist and Light had his hands to Ryuuzaki's chest, trying to push him away.
"Nnnn!" Ryuuzaki took Light's little noise as the opportunity to push his tongue inside of the moist cavern. He tasted every part of Light's mouth, enjoying the squirming boy in front of him.
Light finally gained control of his head and he began fighting Ryuuzaki's tongue with his own, having them slide across each other, feel each other, and taste every inch of each other. Light was blushing now. Feels… good.
Ryuuzaki broke the kiss with a loud smack of lips and a trail of saliva connecting their mouths. Light's gaze was half lidded as he watched Ryuuzaki lick his lips.
"Raito-kun tastes good." Light was still clenching onto the front of Ryuuzaki without realizing it. Suddenly, he got angry and kneed Ryuuzaki in the stomach, watching as the older man fell to the ground.
"What did you do that for!? Hiding my scent?"
"No. I just wanted to."
End Chapter 9
I know, I know. Don't fret, my friends, I will update as soon as I get back. Yay!
I'm not exactly sure of the scenery in Hakata by the way, so I'm pretty sure they don't have cobblestone paths or anything like that.
Je ne sais pas, mais, je pense qu'il est chouette! Just go along with it I guess. Till next time, adieu!
