Well, this is new. I'm working on chapter one on the same day as the prologue. Interesting…
Forgot to inform last chapter:
Rated M because of the implied rape, abuse, experiments, etc. And they will still be happening.
Warnings: Implied rape, shows of abuse, experiments, torment, torture, etc.
This is Horror/Tragedy. Although, there will be some romance and other things in here as well.
Pairing: LXLight OTP FTW! I like LightXL and might add in some, but LXLight is my main pairing.
Basically, all of the characters are the same age. I'll let you know if I make any changes.
Yes, yes, OOCness galore. There will be some ICness. I'll try my best. But Light likes to be in control, and since he's not, he's a little out of it. His ego is smaller as well.
His sexuality is…homosexual. In Death Note How To Read 13, it said (on the lines of) that Light wasn't capable of loving a woman. (XDDDDD) Anyone know who first found out "Imagay"? I rofled. XDDD THAT is awesome! 8DD XDD
Will there be OC's? Probably not. Maybe a few people talking or something.
Overall, this story is based on the song How To Save A Life by The fray. The song happens mainly later on. I might do lyrics from other songs. Not every chapter will have lyrics, though.
In addition to a Beta Reader, I may also want to get a co-writer. My mind runs blank half the time and I don't want this to sound silly, lol, ehehehehehe… '^-^ AND an explanation on how they work. XDD It's fine if I don't get either. I'm a little eh on them, anyway.
Disclaimor: I don't own Death Note. Why would I be writing FANFICS if I could write the actual thing? I'd make a separate series on L & Light and Matt & Mello being couples and having different adventures and whatnot. And BB and Near switching off with everyone, but L & Light and Matt & Mello are my main couples. ^-^
I don't own the song How To Save a Life by The Fray.
Did I forget anything? Please let me know.
And now it is four days (and then some) later. XD
Italics = Thoughts
Chapter 1: What Was That?
Light's POV
Oh, this has been such a wonderful day! I thought sarcastically, throwing the trash out. No way was I going to let mom do it. I don't need to be asked on why there are so many paper towels (tissues and toilet paper will fall apart) in my basket. So, I told her that I'll do it; she works too hard, anyway.
Of course, I had to do everyone else's, and Sayu happily distributed hers into the bag for me. I think she's grateful from not having to sneak empty bags of potato chips in there.
She's a good kid. Likes to have fun. But we're not allowed to eat after midnight. I admit, I do it too, but I throw them away secretly before anyone wakes up. We both love our potato chips…I am very grateful that I'm the only one that likes barbequed.
She grinned at me then skipped up the stairs and gave me a wink.
I got you.
I am also very grateful that our trash bags are black. No need questioning on what's red. I'm pretty sure that they're insulated. They better be…
"Hello!" I said to the man, smiling warmly. He smiled back and took the bags. I made sure he threw them in and moved on before going back inside.
I'm just glad that it happened in the bathroom. I don't want to explain to mom on why I need carpet cleaner.
I'm a great actor, and can probably pull it off, but the smell will probably still linger, even if I use air freshener.
Before the incident, I was helping with a 'project' on how many crabs someone can take getting pinched in various places before crying out.
Moaning and groaning doesn't count.
At least it's November, then I can wear a hoodie. I usually use my mother's makeup kit. But since my arms, legs, stomach, and back were used, I just needed a jacket.
Hey, I made ten! I wasn't allowed to scream at three, though.
I couldn't move for five minutes, and it took me longer than usual to get home.
That would be considered a Reaction Experiment. (Yes, there's more.)
I stayed home for a while and then there came the 'incident'. God, that hurt! I woke up three hours later. There was so much blood…
I air freshen the bathroom every hour. I hope the smell is gone by tomorrow. It'll smell nice and fresh if someone has to go.
I walk in and Sayu is watching Ryuga Hideki. She spots me and waves me to come and watch with her.
No way am I sitting through that.
"It'll be good for you!" she says. "You both are handsome," She gives me some kind of a knowing look.
Suck up.
She pouts and gives me the Puppy Dog Eyes. Yes, it is capitalized.
I am NOT falling for it. I turn away before I can and walk into the kitchen.
Need something productive. Need something productive. Need something pro-perfect!
"Let me help you, mom," I say, grabbing Tupperware and silverware and helping her distribute it into bowls and plates.
There are four tonight. Dad will be eating home today. It's been a while. The case he's been working on is done. I knew who the criminal was, but they needed to gather the evidence. I wish I can work with them, and I have before, but I need to finish high school and college. I finished my application for To-Oh University and sent it in already. I know it's still early, but I'm at the top of my class and I know that I can go there.
Can't…act…arrogant.
That would be my downfall.
I set up the table evenly and helped mom clean up. Dad should be home soon. I heard the TV turn off and Sayu came in ten seconds later.
"Thanks, Light," mom said and kissed my cheek.
We all heard a car pull in.
"Yay, dad's home!" Sayu jumped for joy and ran to the front door. Mom and I followed.
We saw Sayu and dad hugging in the doorway. They separated and he went to take off his shoes and put on house slippers.
Him and mom kissed (Ew!) and I went to hug him.
"How was work, dad?" I asked as we separated.
"We caught him and he's now serving his time," he said, ruffling my hair. "Great deduction, Light." He smiled tiredly and went into the kitchen.
I'm making him go to bed early, I thought, following him. Mom and Sayu were already seated. Dad sat next to mom and I sat across from him, next to Sayu.
Dinner was quite eventful. Dad asked Sayu and I on how school was, life, and didn't say anything on detective work this time.
I've always wanted to be a detective, and once my schooling was done, I'm going to work with dad in the NPA (National Police Agency). I have high IQ, so I think (yes think, must not be arrogant!) I can become a veteran in no time, well, in the least amount of time possible.
I need my hands to do something. I've already did my homework and whatnot for the rest of the week. So I just helped mom clean the table, wash everything, and put them away.
The clock struck 9:00pm and I stood up. We were all having 'Family Time', but I want dad to get plenty of rest. He's off tomorrow because the case is done, so he should regain his energy.
(That and spend some time with us. We all miss him.)
He has bags under his eyes, and he sways a bit - standing or walking. Sayu and I bring him clean clothes and food so he won't pass out.
No hospital bills thank you very much. Malnourishment, dehydration, and being unsanitary are not what I want him to die of when it's his time.
So, "It's getting late. We should all go to bed." I say.
"Aw, but Liiiiiiiiiight!" Sayu whined. "We still have two hours!"
"Yeah, well, I'm tired." I stood up. "Let's go, Sayu." I grabbed her arm.
"But, but, but-" I already pulled her up the stairs.
"Let mom and dad have some alone time," I whispered into her ear. Dad should get some rest, but I know that he and mom want to be alone together. Still, the thought makes Sayu and I shudder.
"I'll getting potato chips, and we'll watch a movie." It's better if I go.
"Get earplugs," she says, and hops onto my bed.
"Already have." I pull my hood off. "Wish me luck."
"Good luck," she smirks and I stick my tongue out at her from the entryway.
…ew, EW, EW!
5pg. This sounds more like a diary entry. '-.- I edited this more times that I even finished writing it – and that's saying something.
235 hits and 208 visitors! Thanks, guys! 8DDDDD
I'M NOT GOOD AT TITLES! DX
NO, he didn't walk in them doing 'it', just kissing.
It's November 5th (2003 or 2006 (you choose)) – a month from when Light picks up the Death Note in the manga/anime.- They make L 8/10 intelligent in the manga and 9/10 in the anime. That doesn't make any sense. They make Light 9/10 both ways. 2003 or 2006. I just realized that's a year before L dies. 00 I remember reading that Light picks up the Death Note in December somewhere before…
That leads into my new poll - Should I incorporate the Death Note/Kira/Shinigami/etc. into this story? – Yes, No, Maybe, I don't Know, Doesn't Matter, Whatever You Want
Me: Next chapter is Family Time! Although, I think Light and Sayu take Soichiro away. XD
Everyone: REVIEW!
