Chapter three! I hope you all like it, because its time for L and B to reunite! Anyone else happy about that? I know I am.

Again, I do not own Death Note.

And I'm sorry for the excessive cursing in the beginning, B was angry.

I dragged my feet down the hallway of the top floor to the building, taking my time at getting to my destination.

As anxious as I was too see that scumbag, bitch-faced, asshole, I put on a fake smile when I walked in.

Because Beyond Birthday is a nice son of a bitch.

"L!" I greet happily as I walked in, closing the doors before rushing to his side in an act of affection. And, as if he really cared, he drapped an arm around the middle of my back.

"Might I have your attention, everyone?" He asked.

But he needn't even ask, because the second his arm was placed on my person, every pair of eyes in the room had turned to outwardly stare.

How rude, I think as I try not to look annoyed.

"I would like to introduce you to my cousin, Shikki." He said, nodding towards me, "He will be working with us to catch Kira from now on."

I beamed happily, "Hello, it is very nice to meet you." half bowing in respect.

I took turns shaking everyones hands, until I came upon a particularly strange auburn haired boy.

"Light Yagami. It's really nice to meet you, Shikki." He smiled, but I could see the malicious intent behind it.

So this is the almighty and powerful Kira, I muse to myself.

I could probably take him down myself, I laughed mentally, only letting him see a smile.

I could not see his life span, only his name, above his head. And if that weren't enough, there was a giant God of Death staring right at me.

I shook his hand nontheless, keeping up appearance, "It's very nice to meet you." I said before turning back to L.

"When do I start?" I inquired. "Right away." He answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I nodded, letting Light show me around the room and 'teach' me how the equipment worked.

When the day was over, my ex mentor and I left.

I found out then that our rooms were across from eachother, and not at all seperate as I'd thought they'd be.

"I will see you tomorow, Beyond." He said stoically. I nodded silently, the act completely dropped.

We went into our seperate rooms, and I spent almost the whole night awake.

Not doing research to impress L, as most would, but thinking.

And thinking.

And thinking.

Now that I was here, what was I to do?

Forget everything that bastard put me through as a child and pretend it never happened so he would close the LABB Case?

I considered this for atleast half the night, deciding to decide later.

But even then, I could not force my body to sleep.

I tossed and turned, even trying to listen to my iPod to relax.

Nothing worked.

At least, not until I decided to stand and open the mini-fridge L was kind enough to supply for me.

Upon opening it my eyes gleamed immediately; he'd stocked it with jam.

Wondrous, luscious Strawberry jam.

I claimed a jar, closing the door and lazily lagging on the edge of my bed.

Once I opened the jar, I downed its contents in no time at all.

And, what do you know, before I knew it I was peacefully asleep.

Alas, nothing lasts.

I woke an hour after finally falling asleep, cursing the fact that I'd been awake so long into the night.

Not even fifteen minutes later I was dressed, decent, and on my way to the room I'd been shown yesterday.

Greeting were uttered, as yesterday, by most co-workers.

"Get to work, Shikki." I heard the raven monotone, holding few stacks of papers in his hands for me.

"Thank you for the jam." I whispered as he got close enough, adding 'cousin' quickly incase anyone were to overhear.

And, I'm not sure wether it was a figment of my imagination or not, but at the very moment I saw my mentor's stiff lips twitch upwards for a good half-second before he monotoned, "Don't doddle." and turned to his work.

I walked away, carelessly happy as I sat alone at a small table and started analyzing the first stack.

"Good morning, Shikki." I heard from behind me, trying to contain my erupting displeasure with a fake smile.

"Hello, Light." I nod, not watching as I hear him pull up a chair next to me.

Great.., I think sarcastically as I look up and pretend to look confused.

"I just thought it'd be a better to analyze next to eachother. We can help eachother find things the other may have missed." he smiles in a way that'd, to most, seem apealing.

I smile as if I agree, "Of coarse." shifting my chair a little so he'd have more space.

He moves a chair next to mine, setting his stack of papers onto the desk.

This is gonna be a long day, I shake my head almost unnoticably, wondering what the auburnette was plotting.

I am so sorry for that UBER long wait of a few months..I am not worth your love!

Any who's, this wasn't beta'd because I figured the wait was long enough.

I did, though, go through it myself once or twice. Tell me what you think?
