Disclaimer: I know you all hate me, but I have to tell you that this author does NOT own Death Note or its characters. That is all. Woo…
Warning: This chapter is rated "M". YES, "M"! I'm sure you all have been waiting for this! ;D
McFuzzy: So I'm really confused. Some people are telling me that Light and L's relationship is going too fast, and others tell me that Light is getting annoying because he's not putting out, (stingy Light); I hope I'm not progressing too quickly! Anyway, I think it's time to send some shout outs to my loyal reviewers! Yay reviewers!
Mizuki6789: Your review made me laugh so much, lol. I enjoy the inner ramblings of the fan girl! Hugs
Er-wat?: You know, I did actually think of that erection thing, as well as the blushing thing and I have decided to blame it on the fact that Light is still a human. Yay! Otherwise, I have no idea, hehehe.
The Sacred Pandapuff: First of all, I love your penname. Seriously, where did you think of that? Anyway, I'm happy that you took the time to review even though you don't like vampire stories and you actually like it; not to mention you are still reviewing! You have impressed me XD. Yes, I am making A LOT of this stuff up; I think it's working out nicely!

hugesandkisses 1: You have reviewed like, every chapter and in the process you have made me laugh and wished me a happy early b-day. You, my friend, are cool in my book.
Kunoichi: Very helpful critique. I'm gradually trying to improve my spelling and such and I always feel like an idiot when I put up a chapter and I find mistakes! Gah! However, I believe I have just found myself an editor, so no more spelling mistakes for me! Woo! Thank you for your reviews.
How-to-die-swiftly: Wow, I am really impressed that you know when that was. I wouldn't have even guessed! Maybe I should have done research to figure out a logical age for Ryuuzaki… ahaha!
Beaumren Trill: Cool! I have found another French speaker, since it seems there are so very few nowadays! Yes, I am planning to become a French teacher; I'm on my fifth year of French. Thanks for your oh-so-loyal reviewing! (I don't think I'm going to put in much more French because I don't think anyone can understand it, lol!) J'espere que tu avais eu un bon lire, mon amie!
Lady AliPotter: Yay! You don't think I suck as an author!
Everyone else: Thank you for your time! I feel rather fuzzy inside now! Ha, puns… ahaha. If you have been reviewing for several chapters and I didn't mention you, I'm sorry but I am an oblivious, distanced person!
Light: Now that that's over with, let's end this utterly pointless ramble.
Chapter 14 – Can You Hear it Calling? --
Light had just stepped off of the train. He looked around to find his familiar home of Tokyo teeming right in front of him.
He felt his head surging with the hundreds of life forms tumbling in the crowds, blindly wandering about. Light smirked. None of these people knew who he was or what he was, for that matter.
They came and they went, but only the person who would remember Light would be buried in his grave; two puncture wounds on his neck.
Light ran his tongue over his fangs and found that they were longer than normal. He realized that he had 'bloodlust', as Ryuuzaki liked to call it. Walking off of the platform, he pushed his way through he crowds of people.
It was a bit later in the day, so all he had to do was creep into an alleyway and find some crack dealer… or something along those lines. He cringed at the thought of tainted crack-ho blood.
Light was walking along a fairly crowded street, noticing that Ryuuzaki was followed him on the other side of the street, which was covered in shadows.
Light knew that Ryuuzaki wouldn't like it if he did that but he figured it would be a good way to keep Ryuuzaki away from him and keep their presence relatively unnoticeable. He had found a way to keep his stalker away.
He went into the first alleyway that he saw and peered around each corner, checking for possible victims but he found no such luck. He wiped his forehead, noticing that it was extremely hot outside and kept to the alley to cool off.
"Raito-kun." Light leapt forward in shock and clasped his chest.
"What, Ryuuzaki?" He was glaring at Ryuuzaki.
"I do not think that Raito-kun will find very many victims today, due to the weather and time of day." Light sighed in annoyance.
"I kind of knew that already. I just wanted to cool off a bit."
"Oh man she's got issues and I'm gonna pay! Ye-ah, ye-ah! She says she's the victim but she takes it all out on me!"
Light jumped forward, again and took his cell phone out of his pocket. It was Misa. He grinned when he remembered setting that ring tone to her number… he thought it matched her.
"Hello?"
"Raito-kun! Misa Misa misses you!" Light grimaced in Ryuuzaki's direction as he listened to Misa's nonsense ramblings, whacking him gently on the head for smiling at his misery.
"No Misa. I told you, I'm too busy to go out right now. I have to-" He scowled again as Misa cut him off.
"Misa, I can't do that-" He began to pace. "Okay, okay. I'll call you as soon as I have a day off, but right now I have to-"
He was about ready to punch something. Ryuuzaki backed away from Light when he realized this.
"Bye Misa!" Light closed his phone and looked to Ryuuzaki. Before he could put it back into his pocket, it started to ring again. Light flipped it back open in annoyance.
"Misa! I told you-"
"Hello, Raito-sama!" Light froze in his tracks and began to stutter.
"M-Mikami-san…" Ryuuzaki's eyes instantly grew larger at the mention of his name. Light clutched his phone and walked deeper into the alley to make sure no one could hear them.
"What do you want?"
"Don't bother stalling me, Raito-sama; I won't be on long enough to track. I'm sure you understand what kind of situation I have put you in, but don't worry; I don't want to kill you."
"That's good to hear…" Light could feel his heart beating faster. Why would Mikami contact him like this? "Yes, I know what you are and what you can do but why are you calling me?"
"I want to see you, Raito-sama! You have something that I want and I won't let you go until I have it."
"What would that be, Mikami-san?"
"I think you should meet up with me to find out. What do you think, Raito-sama?"
Light couldn't believe this guy. He was teasing him.
"Where are you, Mikami-san?"
"I don't think you need to know that but I can tell you that I can see you from where you're from."
Light almost passed out. Mikami was watching Light as they spoke. He mentally slapped himself and tried to gain back his composure. He looked around but saw no trace of human life forms that could be watching him.
"I don't believe you. Are you trying to scare me, Mikami-san?"
"Ha! Does Raito-sama actually think that I would lie just to freak him out? I like you too much to do that. I can tell you, however, that you aren't wearing your necklace anymore… and as we speak you're playing with your hair, like a schoolgirl with a crush. Do you like me, Raito-sama?"
Light heard a chuckle over the phone. He felt like he was going to vomit. Mikami was actually looking right at Light.
"I see you've been following me for some time now…"
"Yep! Anyway, we should talk about getting together, and soon. We have some important business to talk about. Remember this and remember it well; Raito-sama is to meet me at the Tokyo train station at exactly midnight, one week from now. Today is Friday, so next Friday at midnight, Raito-sama should be there so that we can talk."
"Got it. I'll be there."
"If you try anything funny, you and all of your little friends will die, one by one, like insignificant insects. If you involve police, I can guarantee this. I will see you then."
With that, Mikami hung up on Light leaving him standing there, completely baffled and confused. He tried to work things out in his mind. If Mikami had been following Light, he knows about Ryuuzaki and the fact that Light is a vampire-ish being. This was getting a bit out of hand. If Mikami got what he wanted, he could just kill Light and get it over with. He had to make sure that Mikami never got what he wanted and Light could take him out first. He looked to Ryuuzaki, who looked guilty and Light knew exactly why.
"Ryuuzaki, you're not telling me something. What is Mikami?"
Ryuuzaki shifted a bit and bit his thumb vigorously.
"I'm not sure exactly but I know that he has some uncertain contact with supernatural forces. He still gives off the human scent and is guised as a human in my head. I cannot give Raito-kun the answer he is looking for."
Light scowled and figured that Ryuuzaki wouldn't lie about that. He had nothing to hide regarding Mikami. Light grew a sudden confidence and beamed at Ryuuzaki.
"I have a week before I meet up with him. Teach me some of those tricks you were telling me about, Ryuuzaki." They faded away into the walls of buildings, moving and gliding with the shade of the walls, grasping the utter darkness in their fingertips.
They had arrived at Light's apartment after about an hour of morphing and walking. Ryuuzaki forced Light to walk the entire way in order to sharpen his camouflage skills and morphing skills. Light noticed a definite improvement in his skill afterwards.
Light took in a deep breath and smiled after stepping through the door. He loved being home. He flopped onto his couch and rubbed his eyes but for some reason, he wasn't tired.
He noticed that the sun began to fade away and the evening seemed to overtake the streets and scare away all of the light-loving people. Light knew that people hated the darkness because they feared the unknown; that which they cannot see.
Light no longer had anything to fear, because he was fear itself; he was what people were afraid of. Light liked the thought of it.
"So what's first on the list of 'Pureblood' vampire tricks?"
"Does Raito-kun remember the last dream that he had?" Light nodded his head and sat up to face Ryuuzaki. "Very good. Raito-kun has already learned his next 'trick'."
"You don't mean-"
"In fact, I do, Raito-kun. You had a dream about shape shifting, correct? Tell me Raito-kun, what was your worst fear?" Ryuuzaki drew uncomfortably close to Light, peering into his eyes with such an intense gaze that it made him feel like he was being ripped in half. For some reason, he couldn't lie even if he wanted to, and he found the words dribbling out of his mouth like a baby. He was giving his deepest secrets away without a second thought, leaking from his mind like slime.
"Needles." Light was still gazing straight back into Ryuuzaki's eyes, unable to look away. He saw that his eyes were gleaming a very slight hint of red and they were malicious in every way. He was being hypnotized.
Light suddenly broke his eyes away with as much will power as he could muster, and he strained to gain his own head back. He scowled at Ryuuzaki.
"What the hell, Ryuuzaki? Why would you do that? I'm not your meat puppet for God's sake! I do not intend to allow you to continue this behavior!"
"Sorry, Raito-kun. I knew that he wouldn't tell me unless I forced it out of him. However, it was necessary for his advancement in… this field of work. As for being my meat puppet, this is something that I will venture further into."
He watched Ryuuzaki quickly get off of the couch and walk into the kitchen before Light could hurt him. He had been increasingly annoying ever since he had confessed as he had noticed… Light put a hand over his face to conceal its reddening state.
He heard Ryuuzaki fumbling around through his drawers -- putting aside silverware and clashing pans together – gradually helping to contribute to Light's headache.
Suddenly, the clashing stopped and he heard a quiet, "aha," from Ryuuzaki's lips. Then he came back over to sit next to Light on the couch sitting in his normal terrible posture.
He had something behind his back.
"What are you hiding you bastard?" Ryuuzaki gave one of his quirky smiles as he shuffled closer to Light.
"Did Raito-kun know that his house is possessed?" Light raised an eyebrow. "He is advised to close his eyes and check his radar."
Light closed his eyes at the command and focused in on his house, noticing a floating green dot just in his kitchen. Ryuuzaki said that green were specters.
He shot his eyes open and looked at Ryuuzaki with a worried expression. "Is it dangerous?"
"If Raito-kun cannot feel it, then no. Now, on with your training. Get on the ground, Raito-kun." Light raised his eyebrows, almost laughing at the request. First it was specters and now it was straddling the ground for some pervert?
"May I ask why?
"No. Do as I say."
Light didn't want to fight, so he got down on his hands and knees and looked up to Ryuuzaki. He noticed that he was intently staring at him.
"Fine, like this?"
"Very good. Does Raito-kun see the space under his couch?" Light nodded up at Ryuuzaki. "I want him to crawl under it and emerge on the other side."
"Ryuuzaki, this is absurd. The last time I checked vampires could not miraculously shrink double their size."
"This is where you are mistaken, Raito-kun. All vampires are shape shifters. We have the ability to contort our bodies to unnatural shapes and sizes which allows us to crawl through pipes and other places that we cannot simply warp through."
"I thought that we could walk through anything…"
"Not exactly. When a wall is either too thick or it is completely uncertain what is on the other side, we cannot pass it. Also, we cannot pass steel, since it is a holy metal."
"I though steel was with werewolves."
"Yes, but it affects vampires, as well; especially blessed steel."
"Interesting. However, I'm not exactly sure as to how to contort…"
"This is where Raito-kun's fear will come in." Ryuuzaki pulled out a needle from behind his back – a simple shot needle – and let Light take a good look at it before he started to panic.
"No, no, no, no! Ryuuzaki, where did you find that?"
"I'm not sure why Raito-kun had one in his house, but it looks as if it is a simple medicine-administering device that Raito-kun might have kept when sick?"
Light realized that he was right. Why in the world would he keep such a sinister device?!
"Crawl, Raito-kun, crawl!"
Light looked at him as if he was crazy and he tried to run to the side where Ryuuzaki wasn't guarding, but suddenly a terrible fleshy noise came ripping for Ryuuzaki's direction. When Light looked, he saw another form tearing out of his body.
Ryuuzaki had made a clone and it was holding a needle as well. He couldn't move, he was so horrified but when they stepped closer, Light tried for the other unguarded side. Another clone ripped out of Ryuuzaki to guard this as well.
Light was frantically clawing at the underneath of the couch, in so much fear that he was shaking. Suddenly, he felt his neck pop and his entire head squished like a mountain of pudding, contorting so that it slipped under the couch with ease.
He flipped his arm backwards in a hurry and it snapped and folded delicately on his back, noticing it shrinking in size and becoming jelly-like.
Before he knew it, he had his whole body shoved under the couch, squirming frantically and progressing like a snake to the other side. He saw Ryuuzaki's feet where he was about to come out of and he scuffled out, willing his head back to normal size and popping his arms back into place.
He stood up shakily, watching as Ryuuzaki held him steadily in place so that he wouldn't keel over.
He had put the needle away.
Light then realized that the experience felt almost exactly like his dream had, and that he felt a strange tingling in his mind, as if learning to flare his nostrils. He had learned – no, willed – himself to contort his body, training an unused portion of his mind to allow him to do so.
It felt fascinating.
Ryuuzaki broke the silence. "Congratulations! Raito-kun can now shape shift when he pleases." Light smiled when he saw Ryuuzaki actually giving him a real smile back. As awkward and creepy as the man could be, he was really charming when he wanted to be.
"Ryuuzaki, what's your worst fear?" He watched the surprised expression sweep over Ryuuzaki's face as he bit his thumb in thought.
"Losing." Light almost laughed.
"How did that possibly work out?" He was still holding back a laugh.
"The person who taught me how to shape shift bet me that he could reach the other side of a pipe before I could, and that was my dream as well. I won, naturally."
"I think that naturally, you are a bastard."
"That would be correct, Raito-kun." Ryuuzaki's smart-ass nature was refreshing at times. Light was still standing next to Ryuuzaki, gripping onto his shoulder so that he wouldn't lose his balance. When he let go, Ryuuzaki grabbed his hand and looked at his bite mark, which was now a scar.
"Does Raito-kun still feel it?"
"No, actually. I didn't even remember I had it…" Light pulled away to look at the wound, grimacing at the stain on his perfect canvas. Suddenly, he felt a slight twitch in his mind.
It felt like Ryuuzaki, and he found that he was staring at Light. He actually felt Ryuuzaki's love for Light, inside of his mind and all over his body. It was very unsettling and it was making Light uncomfortable and hot under his gaze.
Before he knew what was happening, he was being backed into the couch with a thud, and Ryuuzaki was all over him, sucking his mouth and grinding his hips into Light's. Light let out a surprised yelp when Ryuuzaki released his tongue.
He was surprised to find Ryuuzaki as frazzled as he was.
"I don't think I can hold out much longer, Raito-kun." Having said that, Ryuuzaki snaked his arms around Light, pulling them close together. He now had their bodies resting against each other, rubbing unmercifully.
This was bad.
Light was flustered from the suddenness of the attack, but he gave Ryuuzaki a low moan when he ground his hips ever-so-slowly into Light's. He tried to cover his mouth to stop the embarrassing noises but Ryuuzaki pushed into him hard, forcing Light to use his hands to prop himself up, moaning in pleasure.
Every grind was causing friction between their groins and each was harder and slower than the last; he was practically lifting Light off the ground. He tried to push the heated body away from himself, failing miserably as Ryuuzaki fondled every inch of his chest.
"R-Ryuuzaki!" Light wanted to protest but something was holding him back. The way Ryuuzaki was working on him, he couldn't get a word out edgewise, anyway. Ryuuzaki went back to attacking Light's mouth while slipping his hands to the button of Light's pants, fondling to get it unbuttoned.
When he released it, he slipped a knee in between Light's legs and guided his hand inside of Light's pants, rubbing his boxer-clad member sensuously. Light unwillingly bucked into Ryuuzaki's hand with a gasp.
The emotion between them was so hot, it was making Light pant shamelessly.
"Nngh… stop… Ryuuzaki…" Light could barely get the words out; he was being flooded and he needed to stop this before he did something he regretted.
Ryuuzaki gently suckled on Light's neck and then bit his ear, sucking on the shell. Ryuuzaki's fingers slipped inside of Light's boxers and began to stroke his shaft. Light couldn't help but gasp and moan in pleasure, thrusting uncontrollably to meet Ryuuzaki's stokes.
Ryuuzaki whispered huskily into Light's ear. "Does Raito-kun really want me to stop?" He squeezed Light's hard member and gently brought his fingers along it, circling the head and rubbing the tip delicately, making Light cry out.
"Oh God! Please!" That was the moment Light lost himself.
"Hmm? Please what, Raito-kun? Please stop?" He was still thumbing the sensitive tip, earning desperate mewls from Light.
"Ooh… fuck Ryuuzaki…!" He couldn't stand the teasing that Ryuuzaki was putting him through; he couldn't talk, he couldn't think and he couldn't breathe. Ryuuzaki leaned up to suck at the base of Light's neck.
He released the arm from around his wait and ripped Light's shirt off while still fingering Light's member. He began to suck on Light's exposed chest, leaving small bite marks everywhere, driving Light wild.
"You haven't answered me, Raito-kun." Ryuuzaki's voice came out ragged and need-filled.
"Please! Don't….sto-ahh!!" Ryuuzaki began to pump faster and faster on Light's member, earning more squirming and moaning. Not wanting Ryuuzaki to get the best of him, he released one hand from the couch and guided it to Ryuuzaki's pants.
Ryuuzaki slowed his thrusting, noticing that Light had released his cock from his pants and began to fondle it and rub it teasingly. Ryuuzaki bit his lip, but Light heard a strangled moan escape his mouth. He began to pull and stoke it, quickening his pace.
"Yes! Raito-kun, just like that!"
Ryuuzaki was harder than he had expected. Light began to gently pump Ryuuzaki's member in sync with Ryuuzaki's pumps, bringing their bodies closer to let their members slide along each other.
They panted desperately into each other's necks as they gradually increased speed, until they were thrusting and frantically pumping each other, feeling release coming closer.
Ryuuzaki suddenly stopped sliding his hand on Light's cock and held it in between his two fingers like a wine glass, sliding up deliciously slow and rubbing the tip slightly with his thumb, sending Light close to the edge.
"Scream for me, Raito." He gave a brief squeeze and stopped with a jerk.
"Fuck Ryuuzaki!" Light was squirming and bucking wildly into his hand. Ryuuzaki repeated his actions, only this time pressing Light's hips against the couch so that he couldn't move them.
He turned his head to the side when Ryuuzaki tugged gently on his member. "Oh shit! Please…oh God, please Ryuuzaki! Don't stop!"
Satisfied with Light's screaming pleas, he continued pumping, Light doing the same. Their breathing became harder and harder, with Light moaning Ryuuzaki's name until he saw white in his vision.
With a scream, he released into Ryuuzaki's hand, Ryuuzaki coming shortly afterwards, moaning Light's name into his ear.
Light's legs gave out underneath of him as he fell onto Ryuuzaki as a support, still panting for air. He was grasping tightly onto Ryuuzaki's shirt until Ryuuzaki finally scooped him into his arms, dumping his body on the couch and sliding on top of him, thoughtfully re-zipping his pants and his own.
Light wrapped his arms around the body resting on top of him and shifted to get comfortable. Ryuuzaki stole a kiss from Light's vulnerable state, letting them lazily mingle tongues. When he broke the kiss, Ryuuzaki whispered into Light's ear.
"I love Raito-kun." He snuggled up to Light, resting his head on his chest and nuzzling it. Light turned his head to the side, blushing furiously. He figured he would think about the incident later, closing his eyes slowly.
"Yeah, I know."
End chapter 14
OMG I bet you weren't expecting that! Finally the "M" rating came in handy, y'all. That was a really long sex scene, my longest chapter yet in fact, as I have just realized, but man that was fun to write! Meanie-Light won't admit his feelings to poor Ryuuzaki! Oh well, we'll see. Until next time, adieu!
Thank you editor who has yet to decide a penname but is pretty sure it's going to be the SaltyLobsta lol.
The song on Light's phone was "She's Got Issues," by The Offspring.
