McFuzzy: I'm back! Yes, after a long and begrudging wait, my friends! I am back with a new chapter. I was thinking of never updating it again, but people kept adding it to favoritest and reviewing, so I felt bad and decided, "what the hell, I'll continue it."
Light: How nice of you… DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN STUCK DOING NOTHING!?
Ryuuzaki: Yes, you have indeed been slacking.
McFuzzy: I know, I know; and for this I am very sorry. But as far as excuses go, I've been working and doing school related things. I have been incredulously busy. My editor can attest to this! However, like I said I wasn't sure if I was going to continue this story or not.
Light: (Cries). I'm so abused and neglected….
Ryuuzaki: Raito-kun knows that he is never neglected by me… especially at night.
Light: I hate my life.
McFuzzy: I didn't need to hear that. Haha, I'm writing this so I guess it's my mind; I'm officially F Nuts!! Yay for being crazy! On with the long awaited story!
(P.S) This chapter was not edited by my lovely friend so there might be some minor mistakes in there! Sorry y'all!
Chapter 16 – Monster –
Light and Ryuuzaki were standing in front of his apartment. The door was emanating a cold presence, and when Light touched his hand to the knob, he withdrew it in shock.
He gave Ryuuzaki a strange look, and without a word, Ryuuzaki opened Light's door.
As they entered, it was completely dark as Light had left it.
Ryuuzaki seemed pleased with this as he flopped himself down on Light's couch, being careful to pull himself into his normal position. Light desperately wished to give him a good sock in the face for being so selfish.
Before he had the chance, He had the same feeling again -- that feeling that always cursed his stomach when he sensed an undead presence. He leaped onto the couch with Ryuuzaki and started wildly shaking him.
"Will you finally tell me what the hell is going on you crazy son of a bi-"
Ryuuzaki firmly slapped a hand over Light's mouth and took in a deep breath, giving him an icy stare. As Light looked deeper into his eyes, he noticed them becoming different in a way that he couldn't describe.
He shifted uncomfortably against Ryuuzaki's body, but before he could pry his hand away he heard a soft breathing behind the couch. His eyes widened as he slowly turned to look at what was there, but as he did nothing came into view.
Ryuuzaki pulled Light close to him and whispered in his ear.
"You cannot see her, correct?" Light's eyes widened in panic.
There was something there after all.
He nodded his head.
"Relax and look into my eyes." Light squirmed but found that there was no escape, so he consented to Ryuuzaki's wishes. He turned his head so he could look at Ryuuzaki again, and found himself drawn into Ryuuzaki's heavy gaze.
His panda eyes were filmy and almost red to the point of bleeding. Light wanted desperately to fight and scream, but instead slowly grew tired, and as Ryuuzaki's eyes slowly closed, Light's closed with his, until finally they were fully shut.
He remained in a blackened surrounding with the slightest sound of Ryuuzaki's breathing right against his neck. He couldn't open his eyes; he couldn't move his body; all he could do was stare into the nothingness.
Before long, a light in the distance seemed to appear in Light's view. It was a brilliant luminescent white, lighting all of the darkness that shaded him, but when he looked at his body, nothing was there. He was completely invisible. There was no sound, and Ryuuzaki's breathing was no longer evident.
As the light grew more intense, he saw a figure in the distance, standing by what seemed to be a tree. Trying to move his body again, he managed to lift his feet and make progress towards the figure.
Its shadow was outlined in the perfect white light, and everything was still blackened. When Light got even closer to the figure, he noticed the texture of the ground began to change, and instead of nothing being there, he was standing on a patch of grass.
As he continued to walk, the scenery became more lush and full of life and landscape. He kept moving forward frantically in hopes to contact anything alive accept for himself, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
He slipped on an apple.
It was a beautifully red apple, just lying in the midst of a patch of blackness, and as he looked up he saw the branch of a weeping willow, the leaves turning yellow from signs of autumn.
He looked at the tree carefully, and noticed that the figure he saw was no longer there. The tree began to sway softly in a breeze, and Light felt more comfortable with the normality and familiarity of the wind.
In the corner of his eye, however, he picked a shadow slowly swaying in the breeze. His heart stopped. For some reason, all he could think about was… strange fruit.
He touched the tree and rubbed his hand on it, seeing that he was still invisible, but for some reason something wasn't quite right. He drew his hand back in pain and looked at it, noticing a slimly black liquid running down it.
Did the tree bite him?
Strange fruit.
He walked slowly around the giant trunk and felt the wind come across again. This time, he heard the wind rustling through the branches. He felt so relieved to hear again, but in his delight he caught the sound of a creaking branch in tune with the wind, then an unsightly thump.
Thump, thump; a continuous thump with each gust of wind.
He continued around it and his mouth dropped open in hopes to scream, but his cries were muted just as his skin was invisible. It was a body, swaying in the breeze from a rope.
Thump. It just won't stop hitting the tree.
As Light stepped back in horror from the sight of the bluish body thumping against a tree, he heard the rope snap and watched as the body dropped to the ground with a thud.
Isaac Newton got an apple, and Light got a corpse.
Strange fruit.
He couldn't stop staring at this horrible female body lying face down on the ground. He never got a good look at who it was, but judging on the brown hair color he figured it was no one he knew.
As he stepped away from it slowly, he swore that it was still breathing. He wasn't a doctor, but he knew that the body was dead when it was hanging. Suddenly the head shot up and the blackened eyes were staring right at Light.
Light was too horrified to move. In one swift motion of the mouth, the body spoke to Light.
"Fall."
Light shot up out of his position and flung himself onto Ryuuzaki, who had been there the entirety of his horrifying dream. He clung to Ryuuzaki's sleeves panting and slightly shaking.
"What the hell was that?" He scowled at Ryuuzaki. However, he noticed that they were not alone. He snapped his head to behind the couch and saw none other than Misa standing there, frowning at Light.
"Raito-Kun! Misa Misa has missed you so much!" Light's mouth gaped open and he rubbed his eyes.
"What the hell…?" He looked at Ryuuzaki, then Misa, then his hands to check if he was still in a dream, then to Misa again.
He hated his life.
"Ryuuzaki-pervert-sama made it so that you can see Misa's spirit." She bent over and grappled Light's neck, giving him a large smooch on the cheek. He grimaced.
"First of all, Misa, no offense, but I believe you are dead." Misa smiled and nodded her head. "And secondly, I thought that I could already see spirits." He picked Misa's hands off, fearing any strange diseases from a dead body. She looked like Misa, but was strangely faint like most ghosts.
"Raito-kun must understand that projecting a spirit from another place is an entirely different concept as opposed to actually being present. Misa-san is not technically here."
Light was baffled, like he was most of the time lately.
"Well if she's not here, then where the Hell is she?" Misa giggled. Light raised an eyebrow at Ryuuzaki.
"Exactly as you said, Raito-kun. She is somewhere in Hell." He shook his head in misbelief. Misa was an angel in figurative terms, so why did she go to Hell?
"Misa has no reason to be in Hell. This is absurd." He felt Misa cling to him, yet again.
"This is where you are wrong again, Raito-kun. Misa is in violation of one of the deadly sins; Pride." Light chuckled slightly at the hilarity of the situation.
"It makes sense, I guess. So why is Misa here to talk to me?" Misa frowned at Light and made a whine in protest at Light's shrewd remark. Ryuuzaki scooted to Light and pried Misa's hands off of Light. Misa growled at Ryuuzaki.
"As I had stated earlier to your knowledge, Misa has a tie to the human world to be able to come back -- this tie being you, Raito-kun – and as such she has something she needs to tell you. However, Amane-san was used as an advocate in this case according to the Death Gods. It seems that they have need of your special talents."
Ryuuzaki pried Misa's hands off of Light once more.
"Pervert-san is right, Raito-kun. Misa Misa wanted to say goodbye to Raito-kun more than anything in the world because she loves him, but right now she's the only soul who can come back to Earth at will, because of Raito-kun of course."
Misa flung her arms around Light and stuck her tongue out at Ryuuzaki.
"Since Amane-san is the only soul able to connect to Earth in such short notice, she was sent to deliver a message to Raito-kun in accordance to recent events in the underworld."
Misa began to dig through her pink bag, giving up her hold on Light, allowing Ryuuzaki to drag Light onto his lap. Before Light could protest, Misa handed him a letter. He quickly opened it and read out loud.
"To the Death God of Earth,
We are aware of your circumstances regarding Teru Mikami, previously known as Kira, and in spite of recent conditions we have decided to officially terminate him and eliminate him as a nuisance in order to receive full cooperation from you.
There has been a recent outbreak in the underworld whose identity is unknown. We are cordially asking of your assistance in the termination of what we have deemed La Dieu Mort, which takes habit in the consumption of Shinigami and other undead souls.
We are willing to forsake any questionable feelings as long as we receive full cooperation on your behalf. You have twenty-four hours to meet with us or serious action will be taken against you.
-Shinigami Counsel"
Light looked at the letter in shock.
There was no freakin' way.
They actually killed Mikami as payment for aiding them in defeating something killing Shinigami. Suddenly the biggest problem in his life was destroyed with the opening of a letter, and Light had no idea if he could compensate that or not.
He turned to Ryuuzaki.
"I'm not as talented as they think I am, Ryuuzaki. There's no way I can kill something that can kill Shinigami."
"I believe, Raito-kun, that this La Dieu Mort cannot consume human or vampiristic souls. We are some of the most humanistic undead, and you happen to be an actual human, which is perfect for the job. I am also afraid that you are in no position to decline their request since they have already paid you." Light gaped in horror.
He noticed that Misa had disappeared in the process of reading the letter. Ryuuzaki answered Light before he could even ask.
"Amane-san's spirit is only able to stay for a certain amount of time."
"If this spirit is in the Underworld, how am I going to get there to kill it?"
This was the point where Light became extremely uncomfortable. Ryuuzaki cocked his head to one side and he gave Light a giant, eerie smile. Ryuuzaki couldn't be thinking…
"No, Ryuuzaki! I am not doing that!" Ryuuzaki crept closer to Light on the couch, and Light drew back. "No way in HELL!" Ryuuzaki grabbed the front of Light's shirt and dragged him until their faces were only inches apart. Light whimpered quietly at his unavoidable doom. "No… Ryuuzaki…"
"Yes, Raito. I believe you know what it is you have to do in order to go to the Underworld." Light nodded his head sadly and looked down. There was no more denial in regards to his fate now. "You must die."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Light was in his kitchen digging through his refrigerator. He picked up a plastic bag and sniffed it, gagged, then threw it into the garbage. He repeated to do this until Ryuuzaki intervened.
"What is Raito-kun doing?" Light closed the fridge door and pulled the trash bag out of his trashcan, then changed it with a new one.
"I'm cleaning my apartment. When I die and the police come into my house, I want it to be clean." Ryuuzaki cocked an eyebrow as he slouched, avidly watching the brunette bustle around picking things up.
"Surely there are more important things that you must accomplish?" Light sighed in annoyance.
"This is coming from a man who believes eating cake is more important than bathing."
"We do not need or have the ability to bathe, Raito-kun."
"I was just giving an example, Ryuuzaki. Besides, I can't think of anything. I never really made a bucket list, nor had the time to do so."
Ryuuzaki followed Light into his bedroom and watched him make the bed.
"I believe I could think of something for you to do…" Light dashed out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen table, which was covered in dishes.
"Oh, really? And what would that be?" He began to wash encrusted mold off of his plates and spoons from sweets that Ryuuzaki had eaten about a week ago.
"Make me a cake." Light stopped what he was doing and turned to face Ryuuzaki.
"Are you serious? I have less than a day to live and you want me to bake you a cake?" Ryuuzaki was completely blank. He simply nodded, and this is when Light realized he was being perfectly serious.
"I have no mix, Ryuuzaki. I'm not baking you a cake." Before Light could even blink, Ryuuzaki gave him the pouting face. Light had to admit, it was adorable. Before he gave in entirely, though, he thought of what other things he could accomplish before he died, and realized there was nothing to do.
He felt extremely pitiful.
"Fine. Let's go buy cake mix."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
After Light had made his cake and watchedmost of it be consumed by Ryuuzaki, he flopped onto his bed and dug his head into a pillow.
He was so pitifully depressed.
He never even had a life before he had met Ryuuzaki. He felt Ryuuzaki slide into the bed and squirm around slightly, and that's when he realized having Ryuuzaki was the best thing that has ever happened in his entire life of utter monotony.
It was ridiculous.
As he started to roll over, Ryuuzaki grabbed onto his hip and drug him close to his body, fighting against all protests made from Light. Light noticed that his face was as blank and emotionless as ever, but in a way it was almost as if he understood why Light was so depressed.
Feeling comforted by Ryuuzaki, he let himself sink into an unwarranted sleep. Even if he didn't need to sleep anymore, he loved it so much that he wanted to do it one more time while he was technically alive.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Nnnn."
Light was in a comfortable sleep before he started tossing and turning. His breathing was heavy and his face was flushed, only to signify that his body was extremely hot. He continued to flip until he was lying face-up on his back, hands clinging to the bed sheets.
"Haaaa…" His head tossed from side to side, arching his back slightly in pleasure. At this point he was panting raggedly as he clutched the sheets desperately trying to keep from rolling over.
He felt his cock twitch in his sleep, and he moaned in pleasure. Subconsciously, he felt around and found his throbbing member, unzipped his pants, and began to gently stroke it as his other hand searched for something to grab onto.
Little did Light know, in his sleep he grabbed onto a very hard Ryuuzaki who happened to be listening to Light's little episode for about a half hour and counting.
Extremely turned on by Light's mewls and groping, Ryuuzaki gently rolled over and planted himself so that he was straddling Light. Light was still stroking himself in his sleep, and his face was twisted with pleasure.
Needless to say, Ryuuzaki was at his limit.
Gently lifting up Light's shirt, he softly licked one of his hardened nipples, earning a ragged breath from the boy. He let his teeth circle around it, making Light get goose bumps, then he took it in between his teeth and bit on it lightly, causing Light to intake a sharp breath.
He noticed that Light was tugging on his member even harder than he was before because of his ministrations, so not wanting Light to do anything drastic, he delicately removed his hand and replaced it with his own.
At first, he started to stroke the very head of Light's member, noticing how Light arched and moaned at the contact, then began to rub his hand over the entire length of his cock, causing Light to gasp and arch even further.
As his tempo increased, Light began to thrust himself into Ryuuzaki's hand, panting in pleasure. Ryuuzaki's painful cock twitched at Light's noises.
Wanting to hear more, he slowly lurched further down so that his head was positioned right in front of Light's throbbing manhood. He slowly let his breath caress the head, breathing gently to receive pained cries from his partner.
Ryuuzaki suddenly delved into one of Light's thighs and began to suck and bite it, then moved onto the next thigh, working his way closer and closer to the neglected member. Ryuuzaki smirked as he heard the sexy noises Light was making.
He wished he was awake so he could make him beg for it.
Ryuuzaki delicately licked the slit of Light's cock, earning another throaty moan. He let his tongue slide over the top of his cock and underneath of the head, then his entire mouth engulfed Light's member.
He sucked hard and pulled back out, licking his mouth from precum.
"Aaah!"
Light was writhing frantically for more friction, making Ryuuzaki happily oblige. He sucked Light's entire member again, this time fast and relentlessly. Light met Ryuuzaki's mouth with a thrust each time, coming closer and closer to orgasm.
"Haaa…pleeaase!"
Light moaned and pleaded in his sleep as Ryuuzaki sucked him off until he finally released his seed in Ryuuzaki's mouth with a scream.
Swallowing it obediently, he wiped his mouth and zipped Light's pants. He rolled onto his back and began to play with his own needy member, realizing that Light wasn't exactly able to service him as well.
It was going to be a long night.
However, he managed to realize something important.
This was the first time that Ryuuzaki was extremely glad that Light was a very heavy sleeper.
Also, sleeping drugs in cake works just as well.
End Chapter 16
Sorry it took so long to update again. I can't make any promises on the arrival time for next chapter; but I can, however, promise you some more lemons in next chapter which is just as good of a compensation. I hoped you liked it, because I really enjoyed writing it! See you next time!
