The song featured in this chapter i thought fitted Lust very well, it is called
Fustatsu No Kodou TO Akai Tsumi by ON/OFF... I LOVE THEM!!
Chapter 4: My little toy...
Everyone stared at the body on the floor. The blood that had run out its mouth, staining the dark blue carpet. The messy brown hair out of place, the wrinkled button up shirt.
"Wow, that was dramatic." Ten'on said poking Light's cooling corpse with her big toe. Checking to see if he was really dead.
Lust simply chuckled his deep chuckle. He hid his eyes behind his left hand, hiding the change in his appearance. He felt his eyes change, they grew more into a slit than they were already. Yes, each kill changed him a little at a time. And he enjoyed it, waiting for the process to be complete. Then he wouldn't look like Him. 'But will she still keep me around?' His smile faded.
"Lawliet, are you angry?" Lust asked the man glaring at the body in front of him.
L opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by a certain albino. Everyone turned to face the boy. Near was in a normal outfit. A plain red t-shirt with a black undershirt sewn onto it, baggy blue cargos, and a flushed face to top it off. Ten'on immediately smiled.
"Near! Your such a doll!" She jumped up from her chair, skipped over Light's body, and hugged the boy. "See! Look Lust, isn't he just the cutest thing ever?" She had already forgotten what he did for her.
Lust turned his gaze over to the boy straining for freedom from the girl's chest. This just made her hug the boy tighter. 'Yes, she moved the death to the back of her mind. In order to move forward. To not feel guilty about what she just did.' Lust sighed to relieve himself of the heaviness he felt when she ignored him.
Near managed to free himself and was now staring at Light's body. He missed something, something important. "You killed him."
Ten'on smile faded, and she looked at the floor. The guilt building up as the words sank in. "No... I just... I was proving a point. He wanted to know."
"So, Kira is dead. Does that mean I will be going back to Wammy's?" Near ask L uninterested.

Mou modorenai tsumi o kizande mo kitto" He was at it again. Lust got hold of one of her J-pop cds and now was singing in the shower.
She banged on the door that connected her bedroom to the adjoining bathroom that they shared. The water shut off as the cd ended. Foot steps came closer, the lock clicked, and the door opened.
"Lust! Put some clothes on!" Ten'on screamed turning around with a blush. She waited until the sound of cloth being slipped on stop before turning back around. "How many times did I tell you not to use the cd player while in the shower?"
Lust closed his eyes while he counted. "One hundred sixty-nine times, Master." He scratched his nose as a droplet of water dripped from a lock of his hair, landing on the sensitive skin.
"And yet you continue to do so?"
"I like to sing..." He said pouting. He discovered last night she can't stay mad at him when he pouts, or anyone else for that matter.
Ten'on sighed, looking at the adorable look on his face. "Then sing with out it. L said that you are not to use anything that plugs into an electric outlet while near water after what happened yesterday..." She grimace at the thought that Lust should be dead after knocking a toaster into the dish water while he was trying to help her out. He got shocked, knocked out the power, and ruined her toast.
Then she got scolded for letting him in the kitchen. How could she keep a death god with inhuman like strength out of a room? She was counting her lucky stars L hadn't kicked them out yet. Or that Near hadn't tried to kill her in her sleep from all the "help" she was trying to do for him.
"I can translate it for you..." He said sitting on her bed. He was always trying to make her happy, he was worst than her with mood swings, and he has a very soft spot of sour foods. This she had figured out.
"Fine, go ahead." She said sitting on the ground in front of him. His appearce seems to change daily. His eyes mostly...
"Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, of the dream
We can't be separated
Already, every time when I'm stifled to death after I give up again and again
My emotions that have no place to go wake me up
Your unblemished smile knows it's an existence
So distant that it's cruel
Even though the incurable wound only eats away at my heart
Even now I can't completely hold back my thoughts (that dwell) (within) the darkness" He paused to make sure she was paying attention. Ten'on was, she never truly understood the lyrics, but with Lust's raspy voice, they sunk in.
"Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, of the dream
We met; destiny begins to turn
A secret that no one, no one knows about
As I fall, I fall, I fall
I certainly can't return anymore, even if I carve out my, my sins, surely
While I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was saved
By realistic eyes that never change
But a shadow born as the light is bright
Deeply and pronouncedly creeps up to me
The two heartbeats are exactly like mirrors facing each other
The (pains) are similar (but) different and continue infinitely
Burning in red, in red, in red
Erasing everything, everything
An unfulfilled illusion begins to move
Strongly, strongly
Overcoming, overcoming, overcoming the fleeting night
I certainly can't escape, even if I drown in my sins, surely
Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, of the dream
We met; destiny begins to turn
A secret that no one, no one knows about
As I fall, I fall, I fall
I certainly can't return anymore, even if I carve out my, my sins, surely" He stopped with a smile.
Ten'on smiled, the song it fitted him perfectly. No wonder he sang it often.
Her door opened and Near walked in. "Hello, Nate." Lust said politely.
Near glared at Ten'on. "Where are my comics?" His face seem to take on the red permanently. Every time he came to visit, he was either blushing, or fuming.
"Which ones?" She said trying to remember what stack she took today.
"My... My... You know which ones!" He said pointing a finger.
She smiled as she remembered. "The ones with the cute bunny?" She got up and looked over Near. He was wearing the same pair of pajamas as yesterday. "You're gonna get sick wearing dirty clothes."
"I wouldn't be wearing dirty clothes if you left my clothes alone!" He was near tears. This girl only messed with him, and he didn't know why. "I want my pajamas and my comic books now!"
Lust was laughing. This boy was confused and frustrated. That will only keep Ten'on going. If he would only go along with it, she would tire of him and quit.
"But you would look so cute in the outfit I picked for you..."
"I am not wearing a mini-skirt!" Near face was crimson.
"But all the boys would love your legs..."
"I'm not gay!"
"The red would just make your silky skin shine..." She was enjoying this.
"Stop it!"
"And the heels will make you look your age..." She said using her hands to show Lust the height of the shoes.
"I'm not short! I'm just developing late!" He said screaming.
"You are sixteen, sweetheart. I don't think being 5' 3" at sixteen classifies you as a 'late developer', besides, only girls can use that excuse." She got up and walked over to the boy. She was five inches taller. "And your older than me, you are like a life-size Barbie doll."
Lust just couldn't resist but to say, "Didn't you tear the heads off your dolls?" Near eyes widen as Ten'on bent down to stare into his eyes.
"Yes, I did." She said it coldly, the same voice she used when Near ate the last cookie. She swore she was going to make his life miserable. "Nate, you are my little toy. Not a doll. I destroy dolls, but I keep my toys safe." She patted him on the head and smiled.
"You are evil, Soto." Near said turning to leave.
"I know, but you love me for it!"
L was staring at the albino who was currently crying. "Okay, tell me again what happened?" L was trying to calm the boy down, but his people skills were not the best.
"She tried to get me to go on a blind date with a guy!" Near was shaking.
"And..."
Near snapped. "What do you mean 'AND'? Do you not understand she is the devil spawn? She always changing my clothes with mini-skirts and hooker shorts, stealing my comics, trying to get me to wear makeup, and calling me short!" He was beyond livid, he was pissed.
L chuckled as he processed the information. "She likes you." He said so coolly, as if a two year old could figure it out. "Obviously, she say you're attractive by changing your clothes. She takes your comics and toys to get you to talk to her, and she insults you to hide her feelings. It's basic psychology, really. Also, the makeup might explain that she wants to play, nothing more."
"What about her calling me gay?" Near said, sure L didn't have an explanation.
L stared into his half-full tea cup. Some of the sugar he poured in settled at the bottom. "It might be because she addicted to yaoi."
"Yaoi?" Near never heard of that.
"It's a Japanese book genre. Also called boy-love... It's very popular among teenage girls and women."
"What is it about?" Near had stop crying.
"Well..." L picked up a cookie Ten'on had made. It was sugar with a hint of cherry flavor. "It's about boy on boy relationships." He bit into it. It was soft and chewy.
Near involuntarily gagged. "She called me her little toy..."
L stopped chewing at stared. "What?"
"She called me her toy." Near said sitting on the floor with his normal aloof attitude. "Said she will keep me safe." He picked up a finger puppet he had be working on. It was different than the others. It was more longer and atomically correct.
L stared at the young teen. Beyond had said the same thing to A. Had he said to her? If so...
"And Lust is worst than her. He hates me." Near said painting an redish-brown eye on the puppet.
"Lust is not human..." L said trying to change the subject.
"I know, but he tried to push me down the stairs." Near said finishing the eye that was very similar to a certain 'devil spawn'. "Why do you keep them here?"
L sighed as he put his cup down. He been waiting for this question. "Because they have clues to a case I been working on for several years. All I need is to get Ten'on to remember them."
"Also because of the two Death Notes. Don't want another Kira now do we?" Near was painting the mouth with a purple. Ten'on loved to wear purple.
"Are you making a devil spawn puppet, Near?" L said once again trying to change the topic.
"Yes. If I'm her toy, she will be my puppet."
"She is rubbing off on you..." He said remembering the conversation she had last week.
"Ten'on, Mello called. Wants to know what happened to Kira. What should I tell him?" Watari asked holding the cell phone.
Ten'on put down the comic book she stole from Near, and sighed. "Give it to me." She grabbed the phone and stared at it. Unsure of what to say.
"Moshimoshi?" She quickly pulled the phone from her ear as a stream of cuss words could be heard from three rooms over.
"Where the fuck are you? I know you know what the fuck happen to Kira! The motherfucking killings stopped!" She covered the ear piece and smiled apologetically to Watari.
"Um, Mello? I'm currently being held prisoner by L. So... WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY, YOU FUCKING DRAMA QUEEN!" She screamed into the small device. "Kira is dead. I killed him. I am not your little errand girl anymore. I will be here, with L. Come visit soon!" She hung up the phone with a smile.
"If I am to be his little errand girl, he is to be my amusement." She smiled at Watari as she handed over the black cell phone.
L chuckled to himself as the girl skipped past Watari to the kitchen, where she is most likely to be found. She sure didn't mind being held 'prisoner'.
A/N: I'm sorry if you don't get the story so far, but as I had explained in earlier chapters, I do have a tendency to get side tracked, easi- OH A BEE!! -chases after it with over cleaner-
Ten'on stared at the plain room. Simple white sheets covered his bed, toys where scattered every where. She started to feel bad about taking his stuff, so she came to put it back. But she never really been inside his room before, she had Lust grab what she wanted. But this was depressing.
"Lust?" She said as she watched the male lift up the dresser to put the comics back in place.
"Yes, Master?" He set the piece of furniture down and dusted his hands off.
Ten'on stared, her pout on her face. "Why is your eyes changing? They are almost like little slits on your face." She asked pulling the corner of her eyes up to show.
"It's from the process... Of writing names..." He said picking up the puppets scattered on the floor. They interested him.
"Oh, yeah... Then why did you push Nate down the stairs?" She was serious. Her tone of voice was almost similar to Beyond's, the way she said it.
Lust dropped the Kira puppet and stared at it as it rolled under the bed. She had used Near's real name, she was mad at him. "Master, I..." His chest ached with the feeling of disappointment, with the feeling of rejection. "I was mad at him..."
"Why?" She sounded like an over protective mother. Wanting to know why her child had disobeyed her. "You can't be doing that. What if he got hurt? What if L kicked us out because of it? I can't go back to Mello, Matt maybe..."
Lust turned to face Ten'on, she was truly worried about this stuff? She never looked worried. "Who knows how we managed to stay here. We have to be careful not to push them to far."
Lust was just about to ask why she pushed Near so much when she smiled. "I am just testing the limits, to see where the sidewalk ends and where the cross road begins." Her mouth tighten up and she crossed her arms. "Now tell me why you where mad."
okay, im glad i finished that...
okay, i got two very interesting questions in my reviews, and to tell the truth, i could not wait to answer them, so they will be posted first...
Reviews:
michi-nin: who is b? -stares- B stands for Beyond Birthday, he was one of Lawliet's successors, but due to an unfortunate turn of events, he became a serial killer trying to prove he was better than L... in the end, he was caught because no one, I repeat no one is better than L... not even LIGHT! LIGHT CHEATED!! -rants- also, B copied L's looks and habits, like the adorable way he eats... im not gonna say any more, because i hadn't gotten the book all about B yet, it costs alot for a poor author, hopfully i will have enough money soon...
Lawlietfangirl: how could I kill light? very simple... HE KILLED THE SMEXIEST CHARACTER EVER! i mean, come on... Light only beat L because he had shinigami on his side... If L had shinigami too, I bet Light would of been caught in like two days... okay, maybe not, but truth be told, i hate Light... I just hate that he used Misa and rem, then he killed L... i have been planning his death by Lust for a long time, but I decided a simple burst lung and a heart attack would be fine. -doesn't want to be killed by Light fangirls- ... also, Lust is getting dark due to the fact that he is becoming a shinigami... its a rather complex transformation that starts on the outside, -him losing his feathers on his wings- and then it starts on his heart, making him possessive, mean, and selfish at times...
Draco MalfoyGirl 16: thank you! well, it's slowed down a bit due to my health issues, but the next chapter will be full of action!!
Katt Satou: -beams- you just made my little bit of ego grow... if I may I'm going to post your review so others will know what motivates me to write!

Kain: -stares-
Claude: Why did you make a character based on both of us?
me: um... because you two make an awesome, smexy character...
Kain: The character is nothing like us.
me: Oh, but thats where your wrong, Lust is obsessed with his image like you, also, he not human, like both of you, and he stalked Ten'on, like Claude...
Claude: I do not stalk, I prey...
me: -glare- dude, it's the same thing... also, he hates to be ignored, like Kain, he is a sex fiend like Kain...
Kain: I am not a sex fiend...
me: then why is your ideal job a porno actor?
Kain: It pays well... -coughs-
Claude: because he has a addiction... and it seems this 'Lust' is more like Kain than me...
me: he bites like you... -covers mouth- damn it old man! you made me give out a spoiler!
Claude: i am not old!
