Disclaimer: Hey again

Disclaimer: Hey again. I swear that I still don't own Death Note, it's characters, or anything else. In fact, I don't own jack squat. You could call me a starving artist….

McFuzzy: Whew, I'm finally putting up another chapter. I've been a bit busy lately, hanging out with friends and reading and such. When I got my test scores back yesterday, I passed them with flying colors! Yay! A lot of stress is gone there!

Light: Pfft. Beginner's luck.

McFuzzy: Luck it may be, I still passed.

Ryuuzaki: You must feel accomplished.

McFuzzy: Indeed, I do. Anyway, last chapter actually shocked me because I didn't even expect me to make Ryuuzaki confess to Light yet. I guess it was just spur of the moment, which actually kinda sucked because I had to change my notes and plot up a bit…. But hey, things can only advance from this point, I suppose.

Light: Yes, I remember that you were going to wait before a confession.

McFuzzy: Well, now I can include some sexual tension between the two, because Light still refuses that he's gay, let alone in love with a vampire. So huzzah! Enough with this, I'm onto da next chapter, yo.

Chapter 13 – Familiarize –

Light was standing over Ryuuzaki, who was holding his nose to stop the blood from leaking out. Light's fist still ached with the intensity of the punch.

"What the hell do you mean you're 'in love' with me? First of all, I'm a man; secondly, I'm destined to become the God of Death, and thirdly, you are a vampire and a rather creepy person at that. I have no choice but to accept those words as a plot to take me down!"

Ryuuzaki sat up so that his knees were to his chest, biting his thumb as usual.

"I'm sad that Raito-kun does not believe me. However, based on certain events, I was able to ascertain my feelings towards Raito-kun. As implausible as this seems, I'm afraid it is the truth, and why I seem to touch Raito-kun so much."

Light sat down on the couch and rubbed his temples. It did explain why he was so… touchy feely with Light all the time. He shook his head and cleared his thoughts.

"This really isn't the time to be discussing this, Ryuuzaki. We have some pressing matters to attend to."

"You are very right, Raito-kun. He needs to know how to get rid of N-san immediately."

"Even though you knew he would figure me out, you sent me on a makeshift "date" anyway. I'm assuming that you have to let me in on the rest of your plans at this point."

"Correct. The reason as to not tell Raito-kun in the first place was to put him in a situation so that he could not deny our next wishes. Now that you are involved, you have no choice." Light grunted on the couch, waiting for further explanation.

"The job I'm assigning to Raito-kun is to familiarize himself with every talent of a vampire, including those of a master. In short terms, Raito-kun is to become a master vampire."

Light stood up. "Really? How long do you suppose that will take?" He watched as Ryuuzaki chewed on his thumb thoughtfully.

"With Raito-kun's talents, I'm not expecting anything more than two months."

"Two months!! Ryuuzaki, I'm not sure if you haven't noticed, but I'm only going to be in Hakata for one more day. Also, I still have to take care of my own case."

"This will not be hard to assimilate, Raito-kun. N-san is willing to do anything to keep in contact with you; surely he will follow you back to Tokyo. As for Mikami-san, Raito-kun will hunt him during the day and I will train him during the night."

"What about sleep? I can't work when I'm tired; it's detrimental to brain functions."

"Raito-kun has neglected the fact that I intend to make him a master vampire. He will never be able to sleep again." Light was taken aback by this. He loved sleeping; then it hit him.

"What about water?"

"No; no water. Also, Raito-kun cannot cross brooks or he will turn to ash. They are the spiritual barriers of the land."

"You mean all that crap about religion actually works on us; holy water, crosses, garlic; the whole deal?"

"Without a doubt. Garlic will not hurt you, however, because you can still eat human foods. Raito-kun may, in some terms, become the most powerful vampire ever created via his acceptations to many vampire rules." Light grinned evilly. Well, if that had to be the case, he felt that there would be no problem with giving up his sleeping.

"What about becoming the Death God? Will this interfere?"

"On the contrary; this will only help Raito-kun in his venture to become a God."

Light yawned, almost wanting to hurt himself for letting sleep overcome him at a time like this.

"I believe we should start tonight, eliminating Raito-kun's need to sleep forever. This stunt will kill many birds with one stone, as I have expected."

He crept close to Light who was standing next to the couch. He pushed Light onto it causing him to yelp and straddled his legs.

Light blushed and tried to push him off, but Ryuuzaki blatantly refused his request.

"Raito-kun must calm down in order for the process to work correctly." He leaned down so that his head was resting in the crook of his neck, and Light had full access to Ryuuzaki's neck.

"What's going on here?"

"I give Raito-kun permission to drink my blood. This will forever remove him from my mastership and help him gain immense power in the realm of vampirism. Tell me, Raito-kun, what time is it?" Light, still too shocked to really know what was going on, looked at the clock on the wall glowing in the bitter darkness surrounding them.

"I-it's eleven fifty-eight."

"Very interesting. I want Raito-kun to wait two more minutes to make this process even more interesting." They sat there in silence, silently watching the clock.

Light shifted uncomfortably underneath Ryuuzaki's weight, causing Ryuuzaki to whisper gently into his ear.

"I wouldn't suggest movement, considering the position we are in." Light practically turned tomato red, feeling the blush creep onto his ears. When the clock turned one minute forward, Ryuuzaki loomed over Light's face and kissed his cheek gently.

"Can you control yourself for one minute, Ryuuzaki?" Light was pushing at the man who was placing various kisses on his face. He saw Ryuuzaki grin awkwardly above him, causing him to shiver.

"I'm afraid not." Ryuuzaki licked Light's lips softly, then began sucking and pulling on them. Light yelped when he bit his lower lip.

"R-Ryuuzaki… it's twelve." Light pushed him back, and Ryuuzaki once again leaned into Light's neck.

"Raito-kun should bite now." Light's heart was racing. He wasn't sure how he would taste, how he would react, or what would happen to Light.

"Will it hurt?"

"Just bite me quickly." Light sunk his fangs into the tender flesh of Ryuuzaki's neck, feeling the man gasp above him.

He suddenly felt the warmth of blood pooling around his teeth, collecting in his mouth and staining his tongue. Light sucked vigorously on Ryuuzaki's neck, lapping up every drop of blood he could get, reveling in the delicious taste.

He knew what virgin blood tasted like, but Ryuuzaki's was incredible. Before Light got too carried away, Ryuuzaki backed away and rubbed his neck. Light looked away, a bit ashamedly, and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"I haven't been bitten in a long time…" Ryuuzaki trailed off. He was itching the bite mark.

To Light's surprise, he watched as the wound suddenly disappeared before his eyes, and the two fang holes in Ryuuzaki's neck were gone before he even had the chance to say anything.

Ryuuzaki noticed Light gaping.

"Just a vampire's perk." Light started to feel dizzy. He leaned back into the couch and put his hand to his forehead. His body became incredibly hot.

"I feel sick, Ryuuzaki…"

"It is to be expected. You shall have the last undisturbed sleep of you life at this point in time."

Light fell over, laying on the couch feeling utterly nauseated, and turned to face Ryuuzaki, who was intently staring at him.

He felt himself being scooped up into Ryuuzaki's arms, and feeling utterly safe for the first time in his life. It was strange, but his body rested and he took in a deep breath, smelling every inch of Ryuuzaki's natural scent.

He flopped Light onto the bed and curled up next to him, grappling his arms around him. Before Light drifted into a much unexpected sleep, he felt Ryuuzaki whisper something into his ear.

"Good night, Raito-kun."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

When Light woke up, he was in a pitch black room, with nothing under him accept for the bed. He groaned from the stiffness of his muscles and tried to stretch, only to find the room was smaller than he had imagined.

He was in more of a metal box, than anything, and his movements were severely restricted.

The only light he could see was a small tube that led to what Light thought was the outside. He examined the dimensions and realized that it was only large enough for a mouse to climb through.

When Light tried to feel around, he drew his hand back in pain, realizing he had been stabbed by something. When he squinted his eyes around the lightest area, he noticed pins; thousands of little pins poking out of the walls and protruding from every angle. Light started to panic.

He hated needles.

Suddenly, Light's eyes widened in horror as he realized that the box was shrinking, and the pins were getting closer and closer to his flesh, so ready to stab thought the skin and dig sharply into his muscle.

Light screamed as he stuck his arm through the little hole in the side of the box. It was so small, but it wasn't covered with needles. He watched as the box gradually became smaller.

"Come here, Raito-kun." Light's head snapped to the hole and saw Ryuuzaki's red eye peering at him through it. He suddenly calmed himself and answered back.

"I can't, Ryuuzaki. This hole is too small."

"Nothing is too small, Raito-kun. Come here."

Light felt himself getting angry that Ryuuzaki didn't understand his plight. He shut his eyes and tried to shove his head into the hole desperately, only to realize that he was making progress.

He opened his eyes.

His view showed him the outside of the box.

His head was shoved inside of the pipe.

He shifted his shoulder and dislocated it, causing it to stick to his body and become limp like jelly. He did the same with his other arm, and he wriggled through the small tube, shifting his abs, contorting his body like a snake. He reached the end and slipped out of the tube, snapping his neck and arms back into place, pulling his arms to make sure he was all in tact.

He leaned backwards and felt his stomach gain an instant mass. He looked around, but he didn't see Ryuuzaki.

He was just standing in an infinite space of white… nothingness. He called out, but no one answered. It was like his voice was even lost in the nothingness.

He sat down and pondered what he should do.

He flung himself forward and landed on his stomach when he felt a hand on his shoulder, scrambling up to see Ryuuzaki peering down at him.

"Raito-kun has made it." Ryuuzaki leaned down to give Light a hand up, but Light scuttled backwards frantically as he watched thousands of needles protrude from his arm.

He gaped in horror as he saw Ryuuzaki smile evilly, laughing. He grabbed Light by the collar of his shirt and brought him to look him in the eye.

"Fall."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Light shot up out of bed, heaving. He looked around frantically, seeing Ryuuzaki right next to him, peering into his eyes widely, slightly curled with a thumb to his mouth. Light almost laughed at how cute the scene was – almost.

"Have you been awake this entire night, Ryuuzaki?"

"Indeed." Light felt a bit guilty for that. He never asked Ryuuzaki to comfort him, or to stay with him the entire night. He felt rather strange that morning for some reason. His hand wiped away the sweat beading his brow from the nightmare.

He looked at his hands, felt his teeth, looked himself over, but nothing was different. He could feel strange senses in his head, swirling around like a massive chaos that he couldn't control, and it made him very uneasy. He closed his eyes and concentrated.

When he let his mind focus, he saw somewhat of a map in his mind, but it was of colors. The majority was blue, and a few dots here and there were green, red, or purple. They were moving, like millions of germs.

"What am I seeing, Ryuuzaki?" He asked this knowing that Ryuuzaki would know exactly what he meant.

"You are seeing all life forms within a fifty mile radius from here. Purple dots are vampires of the common breed, red are masters, green are specters, and of course blue dots are human forms."

"They're like ants…" Light observed the massive amounts of blue dots moving around in his head.

"We are all insects, are we not? How is Raito-kun feeling today?"

"Good, I guess. I just feel a bit, strange…"

"Nothing out of the norm, I see. Tonight I have some new tricks to show Raito-kun." He watched as Ryuuzaki leaned in closer, and he moved backward in responce.

In annoyance of Light's actions, Ryuuzaki skillfully swept his body on top of Light's and pinned him to the bed in one swift motion.

"Does Raito-kun know of the significance of sharing blood between two vampires?"

Light frowned and turned his head away, blushing slightly.

"No, Ryuuzaki. Humor me."

"Raito-kun and I now have an inseparable bond that ties us together for the rest of our lives. Even if he happens to be thousands of miles away, I will know where to find him. In the long run, this is more favorable for me to be protecting Raito-kun."

He leaned in and lapped at Light's neck. Light drew in his breath.

"But don't you stop 'protecting' me after I become the God of Death?"

"Not if I don't want to." He grinned and he leaned down to capture Light's lips on his own. Light sighed into the kiss, enjoying the feeling of their tongues together. He was, however, unhappy at the fact that this guy was going to be around for all of eternity. He shrugged silently and went back to kissing Ryuuzaki. Suddenly, he broke the kiss giving a husky tone to his voice.

"I must warn you, Raito-kun, that our bond affects us in many ways. Raito-kun will feel pain when I feel pain, and he will feel sad when I am sad. Sure, many emotions he will still have control over, but having this bond is like a second person inside of you. That means if he kills me, Raito-kun will die." Ryuuzaki thought that Light would kill him?

What was Ryuuzaki thinking?

He leaned in and kissed Light again, this time more passionately, and he snaked his hand under Light's shirt feeling his chest and abdomen thoroughly. Slowly, he brought his kisses lower and lower, descending down his neck and finding their way to his erect nipples, of which he bit and sucked on.

"Hnnh!" Light bit his lip to hold back his gasps. He loved it when Ryuuzaki touched him like this, and it bothered him greatly in the back of his mind.

Light finally let a gasp out when Ryuuzaki reached lower to the top of his jeans, gently letting his fingers slide under the button. When he snaked his hand lower, he began to delicately stroke Light's boxer-clad erection.

"Nngh! R-Ryuuzaki!"

He was ashamed that he was hard, but suddenly figured out that Ryuuzaki was exactly the same when he rubbed his member against Light's thigh, craving more friction between the two. This was Light's time to snap. He sat up and pushed Ryuuzaki off of him with great force, practically smacking his in the process. He was panting, and Ryuuzaki was pouting.

"When you told me that you loved me, Ryuuzaki, I never said that I felt the same. Try to keep your hands off of me if at all possible." Light wiped the saliva from his neck and lips, huffing slightly. Ryuuzaki was still pouting.

"I will only go as far as Raito-kun will let me…"

Light blushed at this and sat up, re-buttoning his pants, wondering when Ryuuzaki did that. He looked out the window and noticed it was light out; about eleven, he guessed.

He looked at his groin and grimaced at the fact it was still hard -- he had to go back to Tokyo today. He looked at Ryuuzaki who was intently staring at him, visually eating Light, still bearing a hard member. Light sighed. This was going to be a long day.

End chapter 13!

Okay, I finally updated, and I feel proud. Oh, by the way, I took off the anonymous review protection. I am SO sorry I had that on, but I didn't even realize I had it on! To think of all the people that wanted to rant at me but couldn't! Gah! I feel like a jerk! Well, anyway, I'll update in my usual, timely manor! HA! I crack myself up.
