Misa was bored. Light was ignoring her along with the rest of the Task Force. Kiva kept giving her dirty looks and L kept giving her occasional glares. The only person who seemed not to be hating her was Beyond. Quietly, she walked over to him, making sure she had put on the right amount of makeup to attract his attention.

"Good afternoon, Beyond!" She exclaimed, smiling at him. He looked up at her from his corner, a bored expression on his face.

"Hi Amane-san" He said, dully. She smiled wider and sat next to him. He inched away from her, only for her to follow. He sighed.

"What do you want?" He droned.

"Misa wants to spend time with Beyond!"

"...no"

"Why not?"

"...Because I hate you..."

"But...!"

"Misa, leave me alone..."

"Beyon-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU STALKER!"

"..." Misa got up, tears in her eyes.

"So are we all set?" L asked as Light walked back into the room.
"Are you sure about this Ryuzaki? Because if any of this goes wrong you're going to get hurt at the very least. These people want you dead and if Kira doesn't do it they will do it themselves."
"Why are you so certain Kira wont?"
"Would you? Honestly?" L shrugged then nodded at Ash, Quinn and Jinkz who all resembled ninjas.
"Light how come you'll risk your life for some freaky girl you've only just met but not say more than three words to me!" Misa cried.
"Because there's a chance that Kira will turn up and we can't let that opportunity go by." Misa sighed and sat on the sofa between Matsuda and Kiva. Kiva jumped up and moved to the newly repaired screen
"It says they're there." Everyone nodded at each other then moved out of the building leaving Kiva at the computer with Misa, Beyond and Matsuda sat awkwardly on the sofas.

"Why are we all ways left behind?" Misa whined.

"I can see why you're left behind, Misa." Beyond said, bluntly "You're an annoying little bitch."

"Beyond!" Matsuda exclaimed and punched the copy across the jaw. He winced and wiped blood from his lip. He instantly gave Matsuda a death glare.

"I'd kill you," He growled "But I know I wouldn't succeed"

"Guys, cut it out!" Kiva shouted. Beyond simply glared at all of them.

"Screw you all" He hissed. He walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Everyone waited till the footsteps disappeared before speaking.

"That kid has anger issues" Matsuda muttered.

Note Blue wasn't exactly stylish, but it wasn't exactly run down either. However, today it seemed like a dark and gloomy execution ground. L strode through the street, hands in his pockets. The dark clouds seemed to follow him, lightning beginning to flicker across the sky. Every so often he looked around to make sure there was no imminent danger. When he got to the café he saw it had been closed and locked. All the lights were off and the curtains were drawn. L suddenly felt a cold chill as he realised he was essentially walking to his death. He stepped inside and the bell rang. He closed the door slowly behind him and took a few steps forwards. He heard a click and suddenly footsteps. A second later a pair of arms were flung around him. The lights were flicked on and he realised Lexi was hugging him.

"Why did you come?" she asked. L saw she had scars on her left cheek. She stepped back. He also saw that she had tears in her eyes. "I don't know what you were planning but it's gone wrong. They found Quinn and Ash and they're currently hunting for Jinkz." Ryuzaki suddenly felt his heart drop. He realised it was the end. Suddenly the door swung open behind them and they moved away from it as dozens of people came marching through. Ash, Quinn and Jinkz were pushed towards the group. Lexi quickly broke the chains around their wrists. Ryuzaki watched as Lexi hugged Quinn. Both people were smiling insanely. "Time to go out fighting." Suddenly Lexi pulled out a large sword from her back and pointed it at the men surrounding them. She spiralled as Quinn pulled a large ancient bamboo fighting stick from Lexi's boot whilst Ash pulled two knives from her hair. Everyone looked in shock as the weapons were pulled out.

The men suddenly started charging. L watched as Jink's eyes glowed and suddenly several pipes burst. The water suddenly targeted the men. Lexi pieced one man's arm with the sword and threw him into four more. She then pulled it back and used her own power of air to push the others back. She span the stick until it was behind her. She then bent out of the way of an incoming chair and grabbed L's leg. She put pressure on his knee which made him collapse fast enough to dodge the incoming object. L stayed down as Lexi pushed back several others who were trying to imitate the man. She then handed L the stick. "Fight you lazy git!" L grabbed it and turned onto a man who was charging towards them. He stabbed him then copied Lexi into pushing him into other men. He suddenly found he had a lot more strength and agility. He jumped over a sliding body that crashed into the wall behind him. He jumped off of the man's back and flipped over another body. He stabbed behind him with the sword and skewered him in the back. He tried to remove the sword from the man's abdomen but it was stuck. Lexi watched as he struggle then quickly turned and kicked it back through. She smiled at him quickly at him but was then hit in her legs. L watched her drop under a flying body. She stay still as a man leant over him with a piece of broken wood aiming for her chest. She then quickly rolled straight onto her back again and tripped the man in the process. He dropped the stake. Before it hit the ground Lexi was on her feet. She grabbed it and slashed at his neck. The body fell to the floor motionless. In this time three men had crept up behind L. She turned him and grabbed his hands as they started to throw punches. She managed to help him knock out two but was then distracted by another behind her. Another two men had approached by this time. She span him then yelled. "Jinkz!" Jinkz turned and stopped him she then wrapped his arms with hers and pushed his back forwards. He obeyed and her body flew over his back. She delivered a kick into one man's head that shattered his neck. She then turned on another and pulled his throat straight from his throat. L realised that one had been forgotten. He pushed Jinkz into the wall. L heard her arm snap in the impact. He was then knocked off of his feet by a large piece of wood to his leg. Ash was thrown through the wall of the kitchen leaving only Lexi and Quinn standing. They backed up against a wall with Lexi in front of him. Three men approached them and suddenly Quinn's arms appeared around Lexi. Two men were knocked out and the other moved backwards. L realised he was the only one left standing in the room. He looked around then saw a large piece of wood. He dived towards it as Lexi stepped forwards. He grabbed it and held it over her heart. She froze and put her hands up. L heard coughing from the side and crawled to where Jinkz was laying. Her arms was snapped and her ankle twisted. He helped her straighten herself then turned to where the others were stood. The man was laughing and soon Lexi and Quinn joined him. He stopped as they continued. Lexi then stopped and smiled. "Please. He's my brother." With that he put his hands down. She jumped and place one foot on his hands. He pulled them up and pushed her into the air. As he did she flipped and kicked the man's chin so hard that his neck snapped backwards. She kept spinning until she landed perfectly behind Quinn. Who turned and hugged her. They started laughing then stopped when they heard a crash from the kitchen. There was a growl and suddenly a cry of pain. Ash came running out quickly and hid behind his cousins. After a few more loud crashes and cries the kitchen fell silent and out walked Jackson covered in blood.

"Did I miss something?" He asked. Lexi rolled her eyes.

"Let's just get out of here." She grumbled. Then, L's phone rang. He pulled out of his pocket and opened it.

"Yes?" He answered.

"Ryuzaki, you're not going to like this..." He heard Kiva say.

"What have you done?" L asked accusingly.

"It's not me... It's Beyond..."

Beyond stood on his bedroom windowsill, looking down onto the city. The bright lights were shining in the darkness and he felt that it looked quite peaceful. He closed his eyes and imagined what it would be like to fall, freely. It's not like anyone would care anyway. They never had and they never would. He sighed, leaning against the window.

"You never did care..." He muttered, a single tear falling from his eye. He heard a knock on his door, the handle turning.

"Beyond?" It was Kiva "Why is your door locked?" the copy didn't answer, he simply blinked and turned back to the city beneath him. "What are you doing...?"

"I'm...thinking..." He whispered, knowing she could here him anyway.

"What about?"

"...death..." Kiva read his mind, then became panicked.

"Beyond, don't you dare!"

"Why not? Nobody gives a damn anyway..."

"What about L?"

"...He...he hates me..." he heard a phone keypad being pressed and he knew she was calling L. He heard her talking, but ignored the words. His thoughts lingered to the past and how L had always wanted to neglect him. Guaranteed, he was creepy, but wasn't everyone? He sighed as there was more knocking on the door.

"Beyond! Let Misa-Misa in!" He heard the leach shout.

"Misa, that's giving him more reasons to jump" Kiva hissed.

"Jump?" Matsuda exclaimed.

"L said he'd be here any minute!" Beyond listened to them, but felt nothing but pain and hurt. He deserved this. He wasn't kind or even had an ounce of pleasantness. He was cruel and cold; distant and insensitive. He took a step towards the edge, the wind running through his dark hair. His red eyes shone as the street lights reflected off them and the clouds seemed to vanish into the night. He blocked out the rest of the world, closed his eyes and leant forward...

He felt someone grab his arm, preventing the fall. He opened his eyes and looked up at the one who had stopped him. Instead of the black shining eyes he expected to see he saw shining blue ones. He was shocked to see Lexi was holding onto the wall with large claws and holding onto his arm in the other. He thought he would've felt disappointed but instead he was glad that the girl that was usually so dismissive of him had risked her own safety to save him. She smiled as she pulled him back in to the room. When he got inside he saw that the door had been shattered and on the chair sat L. He had a large piece of wood in his leg. Beyond stood awkwardly as they all looked at each other. Lexi then bent down and pulled the large piece of wood out of L's leg. She then turned to Beyond with the piece of wood in her hand. She grabbed Beyond's wrist and held out his hand she placed it in his hand then closed his hand around it. She then whispered in his ear.
"This is the only reason why that wasn't him out there." She leant back smiled slightly then left the room taking everyone else with her. An awkward silence followed. Beyond refused to look at L, knowing that his mentor would be disappointed in him. His mind had all ready begun to have a mental shut down and this continued as the tears fell from his eyes.

"Beyond..." L said, breaking the silence. The copy still refused to look up and he felt someone hug him. He glanced up and saw the obsidian eyes gleam back at him.

"L..." He whispered, shutting his eyes tightly.

"I'm sorry Beyond... I've been neglecting you..." he felt the arms around him tighten their hold and he leaned into the embrace. He didn't say anything and time passed, his head rested on his mentor's shoulder and said mentor gently running his hand along the copy's hair.

Lexi brightened up a bit now that she was safe. She also felt proud of herself for saving Beyond's life. A smile was on her face as she walked down to the main Task Force room. The smile disappeared when she saw that the only people in the room were Matsuda, Misa and Mello.
"Morning Lexi! I made coffee!" Matsuda said surprisingly happy. Lexi was not used to so many people being awake. Let alone some so annoying.
"Yeah, thanks." Matsuda seemed wounded for a moment. He sat down again and offered a cup to Misa.
"So Lexi how is everything?" Mello asked.
"What?" Lexi asked confused.
"With your face?"
"What about my face?"
"The cuts and things…"
"Oh yeah, they…left"
"Left?"
"Leave me alone Mello!" L walked in as she yelled it.
"Mello stop being so annoying!" L yelled. He then glared at Lexi who glared back at him.
"Why are you glaring?" L asked.
"Because you are." Lexi replied. She then turned to the desk and rested her head on her arms. Lexi was just relaxing when suddenly the doorbell rang. Her cat instincts kicked in and she ended up balanced on the back of the chair with her cat ears and tail out. Everyone was looking at her oddly. Her tail dropped and her ears folded down. "Just answer it." L sighed and walked over to the screen which showed who was at the door.
"It's some kid and an older dude."
"What?" Lexi asked walking over to it. After a few steps she realised it was Stephen and his little brother Luke.
"Stephen!" she cried. She quickly unlocked the door and ran down to greet him. She hugged him quickly then picked Luke up. After a few moments they walked in again. Everyone looked at each other awkwardly.
"Sorry this is Stephen." Lexi smiled madly as he kept his arm over her shoulder. Suddenly a yell was heard several levels up.
"Stephen!" Lexi at first thought it was Kiva but Ash and Quinn appeared. "Thank God you're here! We're finally not out numbered!" As he said it Jinkz and Kiva also walked in. The three girls looked at the boys. They both fell silent and sat down defensively. L pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"Well," He said after a few moments silence "I've decided we shall have a break from the Kira case. So, we can-"

"PARTY!" Jinkz screamed and threw pieces of paper in the air. L rolled his eyes as everyone cheered. This wasn't what had come to mind.

/

The party had been the worst decision of L's life. It was loud, annoying and he couldn't think straight. He glanced around the room at everyone, then heard screaming.

"Lexi!" Kiva exclaimed, running into the room "Jinkz is having a bonfire in your room!"

"Damn it!" Lexi and Kiva ran out of the room. L sighed, now being the only sane person in the place. He then realised Beyond was missing. Lexi walked back into the room and walked over to him, sensing his panic.

"Where's Beyond?" L asked her.

"I don't know..." She replied, worriedly. Both of the got up and left the room.

"Ryuzaki do you have the key to the evidence locker?" Lexi asked unlocking the key cabinet.
"I thought I gave it to you…"
"No I gave it to you….. Or wait… Beyond!"
"Oh no." The pair ran at supernatural speed down to the cellar where there were tonnes of large cages full of evidence for the Kira case. They split up between two cages. L was running when he heard Lexi's voice.
"Beyond what the hell have you done?" she yelled. L followed the voice and found Beyond crouched in a corner eating jam. Lexi moved and pushed it out of his hand. As she hit it, it smashed into hundreds of pieces. Several of which landed in her hand.
"Hey it's just jam!" Beyond cried.
"Poisoned Jam!" Lexi cried back at him. His eyes went wide.

"How much did you eat...?" L asked him.

"Half the jar..." He looked up at them "Am I going to die?"

"Beyond..." Lexi carefully picked him up "You won't like this... but you're going to have to throw up..."

"I don't want to!"

"Do you want to live?"

"...maybe..."

"Then you're going to have to!" L watched as Beyond grew pale. Lexi lead him to his room, L following behind. Beyond had his arms around his stomach in pain and the detective could hear his heart beat increase in speed slightly. They reached Beyond's room and Lexi pushed him into his bathroom. She slammed the door behind him and traced the frame of the door with her finger which left a green imprint.
"What's that?" L asked.
"It's a type of air lock. Oxygen and things can still pass through it but anything other than air, such as odour can't pass through."
"Why have you put that there?"
"Believe me you do not want to be smelling that through a human nose let alone a vampire one." L shrugged as Lexi left the room and went in search of Jinkz. When she got to the ground floor she could smell wolf hair as well as blood. She saw broken glass everywhere and was suddenly filled with anger. Several seconds later L walked in just as she started to shout. "Everyone downstairs now!" Instantly footsteps were heard as everyone from the party obeyed her order. Stephen came down carrying Luke who was covered in paint.
"He found the paint supplies…." Lexi sighed and sat him on the sofa.
"Right now you're all going to take a floor each and tidy up the mess you have made!" Lexi separated them into different groups. "The last ones to finish will have to tidy up Beyond's bathroom…" Everyone looked around confused. "Oh did I mention he's up there throwing up because he ate the poisonous jam?" Suddenly everyone split up and ran manically. L was impressed at the amount of authority Lexi had then looked at the small child sat on the sofa. He shook his head and left the room. He decided to stand on the roof and look at the city as that always helped him think.

Somewhere at the base of the building, Matt stood by his car. He'd had a text from Mello telling him to come to the building to help with their most recent case. The redhead looked up at the ridiculously tall structure and noticed a certain red eyed raven looking down at him from a window. He smiled.

"Hey B!" He shouted.

"Hello Matt" Beyond said, boredly.

"You ok?"

"No. I just ate poison because some dumb ass detective doesn't label his evidence properly"

"Oh…you feeling better now?"

"No. In all honesty, I feel pretty shit"

"Ah…"

"Yeah…"

'Yep,' Matt thought, 'Great conversation as all ways…' Matt was about to walk back inside when Jackson and Lexi ran outside quickly.
"I swear it's following us!" Jackson cried.
"Yes cause a noise is chasing us Jackson! Seriously and I thought Ash was thick!" Suddenly Lexi grasped her head and winced. "Where the hell is it coming from?"
"Lexi are you okay?" Matt asked. She glared at him so he quickly backed away. Suddenly Ash came outside.
"Lexi why are you thinking of a weird noise?" he asked. Matt looked at her confused.
"I'm not thinking of it I can just hear it!" Suddenly Matt heard the sound of sirens heading in their direction. He frowned and turned to see them turning the corner. He then looked at Lexi then noticed there was a red flashing light on the back of her neck. The gamer reached up to it and pulled it off, rendering it useless.

"Thanks…" Lexi muttered, glaring at the red object. Matt shrugged and threw it behind him, hitting poor Matsuda on his head.

"Ow!" The young detective said, just as the others walked back into the building. Matsuda picked up the red flashing light. "What's this…?" Just as he said that, red liquid leaked from the device and sunk into his hand. Matsuda stood for a moment inspecting his hand that was now throbbing. Suddenly Lexi's head appeared from the building.
"C'mon Matt!"
"I'm here!" The voice came from inside
"Not you Matsuda!"
"Why didn't you just say that?"
"Why didn't you just look and see that I'm not looking at you!"
Matsuda stood looking at his hand. Lexi stepped outside and stood at his side. "C'mon Matt," Lexi rested her hand on his arm, "Matusda, you're freezing..."
"And.. what do you care? none of you ever care!" Lexi seemed shocked at his sudden outburst. Matsuda quickly walked away from the building.

"Where are you going?" Lexi cried behind him.
"Anywhere away from you all!"

"Stop!" She grabbed his shoulder, but he threw her off, pure anger in his eyes.

"Go away!" He screamed before bolting off down the street. Matt had been behind her, watching.

"Are you ok?" The gamer asked.

"I'm fine. Just sick of dealing with prats" She stalked back into the building, dragging the red head with her.

"And what were you two doing?" L asked as they entered the room. He was sat in his usual crouch on the chair, Beyond stood behind him. A chain connected the two ravens, made entirely out of metal. For once, the red eyed male looked ashamed to be so close to L.

"Trying to keep your freaking 'work force' together... Seriously how long have you been on this case and you still haven't found him you know secretly I think you want all those criminals to die!" Lexi shouted. Everyone in the room suddenly distanced themselves from her.
"Actually I would have preferred that they had never been born... Anyway what are you talking about you're not exactly a saint are you? You've killed what over a hundred thousand people... How do you even sleep at night?"
"I don't!" The room was silent for a few moments. "I don't sleep, then I have to get up in the morning and deal with all this crap and I'm getting pretty sick of it... and do you want to know why I don't sleep well I'll show you all..." Suddenly screaming echoed through the building. At first it was one then two then it seemed like thousands of people were screaming at once everyone covered their ears but the sound only entered their minds. It stopped suddenly as Lexi turned her back to the group. "Matsuda was right... Anywhere you all aren't is a good place to be right now..."
"Lexi wait!"

"NO!" And with that, she left.
