Chapter Six: The Game

Mind games were something that Raito and L had played with each other often in their past life.

It was about power.

Who could trick the other into saying something that would go against them, who would be the first to give in and who would be dominated.

Such games usually have sexual undertones or usually played using sex and though nothing of the sort ever happened the lust for power and complete control was always there.

The gazes and touches.

The cameras and the handcuffs.

Nothing ever came from the use of them.

Games change over time, they change with the purpose of the humans who play them.

As the players pass into a new level they're forced back to the beginning and the objectives may not be the same as before.

*****

The next morning was eventful, though Raito was an early riser, Sayu forced him out of the bed ten minutes earlier then he'd have liked.

The night before had taken it's toll on him.

He'd been awake half the night trying to get his mind around what was going on around him right now. Eventually he came to the decision that whatever was going on was L's fault.

He knew it was childish but hadn't the detective called him just that in his former life?

He knew couldn't blame the fact he had to deal with Misa on L, no, he blamed that fact on both Sayu and the model herself.

Still, Sayu wasn't putting herself back in Raito's good books by waking him up early when he'd had the bare minimum of sleep.

"C'mon Raito! Wake up! I want to go somewhere with you," she whined as she tugged at the sheets the teenage boy had cocooned himself in. The girl's non-stop tugging eventually worked and the boy ungracefully fell out of bed.

With sleep clouded amber eyes the brunet glared at his younger sister who was trying to hold back her giggles at the state her perfectionist brother was in.

"I'll leave you alone for now, but be downstairs in twenty minutes! We're catching a bus to the seaside."

As the brunette bounced out of the room Raito ran a hand through his hair and pondered over getting back into bed and just ignoring Sayu but he knew it wouldn't work.

She was too hyped up to respect his sleep and privacy.

Yawning, he dragged himself onto his feet and begun to get ready, maybe it would be nice to spend the day with his sister.

*****

Raito was wet.

When the siblings had arrived at the seaside though it had been cool, the sun had been out and it seemed like it would be a fairly enjoyable day. They went into a few shops and went into the arcades but the rain clouds had loomed in and by the time the teenagers had really been enjoying themselves it had started to rain.

No, pour was a better term.

So now Raito was sitting in a café, soaked through as he nursed a cup of hot coffee, needless to say he wasn't in the best of moods. So when the brunette revealed to him the reason why she had dragged him out of the house that day he wasn't best pleased.

"So Raito, who was that Ryuzaki that Oto-san brought home last night? What was it that he wanted to talk to you privately about," Sayu asked hesitantly.

The older brunet raised an eyebrow,

"He's working on the case Oto-san's currently working on, he wanted to ask me some thing's, that was all."

The female frowned as she visibly tightened her grip on the handle of her mug of hot chocolate. He also frowned in response, she seemed to know more then she was letting on. What did she know that seemed to be upsetting her?

"Sayu, what did you witness?" His tone was calm and he reached out a hand to pat his younger sister's as she gazed at him imploringly.

"He...he thinks you may be a murderer. I know you're not but...please tell me what's going on. I don't want my Oni-san to be in trouble," her voice a piteous whisper.

Raito sighed,

"I can't explain fully Sayu but simply, I've been helping out Oto-san with the case and the killer if you didn't know is a Jack the Ripper copycat. I've had a lot of good theories on the case due to my knowledge of the original killer but Ryuzaki for some reason has got it in his head that I could be the killer. I'm not going to pretend to understand why, he just does for some reason."

His explanation seemed to be satisfactory as the young girl sighed and leaned back into her seat,

"Okay then, I did have some more questions but they'll just have to wait for another time. I wanted to cheer you up after yesterday so I thought I'd arrange a surprise outing for you. You need to get a girlfriend anyway!"

Before he could even question her about what she'd done, he got his answer in the form of a far too familiar blonde bouncing into the café, complaining about the rain but she soon brightened up at the sight of Raito.

*****

Misa was like a parasite and Raito couldn't shake her off, all day she followed him around clinging to him and trying to leech gifts and kisses out of him.

It was infuriatingly bothersome.

When he reached home Misa was still tagging along,

"Ooooh so this your home Sayu-chan! It looks so cute! Why don't you invite me in and show me your room Raito," she giggled.

Ugh, she'd already dropped the honorific as if they were so close when in reality he didn't want anything to do with her. He was just too polite to tell her to shove off as he wished.

He was about to say no when he realised something.

The camera's would have been installed that day when he was out.

If Ryuzaki was going to insist on watching him when he hadn't done anything wrong-in this life at least-then he might as well give him a show.

"Alright then Misa, it would be nice to have some alone time with you anyway."

The blonde giggled again and tightened her grip on his arm, falling for his charm as usual. Then again most people did.

Once inside he called a quick greeting to his mother and informed her that Misa was coming in and that they were going up to his room. Sayu seemed absolutely ecstatic as she rushed into the living room to tell their mother all about the day out.

The silly girl thought Raito's feelings for the model on his arm were real. Though he was against using girls as pawns, she was asking for it. If she wanted to believe Raito had feelings for her then he'd let her as long as it benefited him.

Surely there wasn't anything wrong with that?

It's not like he was using her to kill anymore, he was just using her to get back at L.

If he looked back on his behavior and thought processes later on then he would realise how juvenile he was being.

Still for now he just led Misa up and into his bedroom, he could feel the familiar invisible gaze of camera's on him and he held back a shiver. It was an invasion of privacy that he was not at all comfortable with. His bedroom was his sanctum and the thought of it being invaded and that he would be looked in on him whenever he was in there depressed him.

When he entered though he acted as if he wasn't even aware they were there, taking a seat on the bed he patted the space next to him as Misa shut the door.

Not nearly as shyly as Raito thought was appropriate she joined him on the bed, placing her hands behind her as she leaned leisurely back.

"What a nice room you have here Raito and such a comfy bed, it must be nice waking up here every morning, wish I could experience it," she commented coquettishly. How much more obvious could she get, she was already making it known she wanted to sleep with him and they weren't even dating.

Rather then throwing a look of revulsion at her as he so desired-that might increase the percentage that he was the murderer, he was disgusted by the idea of whores after all-he chuckled.

"You're being a little forward aren't you? I don't like to use women like that, I'd much rather date a girl for some time first."

Misa blushed in response,

"Well, could I be your girlfriend then?" Her flirtatious expression didn't match her sickly sweet voice but the female seemed to think it was 'cute'. All it did was repulse the brunet all the more.

Putting on another disarming smile he leaned forward and pecked the girl on the cheek,

"Here I was thinking I was going to need to ask you that."

"You were going to ask me?"

An ear shattering squeal was followed by the blonde throwing her arms around the younger teenager,

"Oh my god! Misa is going to be Raito's girlfriend!"

Putting on the pretense of being not only happy but endeared by the girl's actions was more difficult then he remembered it had been. He carried on playing his part well though by leaning in to kiss her. The female kissed back, putting her whole being into the kiss by practically climbing into his lap and pressing up against him as she shoved her tongue in his mouth. Raito was well aware that many men would give an arm and a leg to be in the position he was but being french kissed by the model and having her breasts pressed up against him did nothing for him.

He had to think of something or the girl would soon notice his lack of interest, especially after she pulled away from the kiss and attempted to press his face into her chest.

The very thought of carrying on charade nauseated him to the core but he didn't cease, pushing the girl gently back onto the bed as he had to L yesterday he leaned down to kiss her again but there was a knock on the door before Sachiko popped her head around.

The sight caused her cheeks to burn a light pink colour,

"Oh! I'm sorry, I thought I better come tell you that it's getting late and that Misa-san should return home."

Raito moved up off of the girl, he'd never been more relieved in his life that his mother had came to check on him.

"Okay Oka-san, you better go then Misa. I don't want to leave too late, it wouldn't be good if you were unable to get home."

With a sad sigh and nod of agreement, Misa allowed Raito to lead her downstairs to the front door where he waved goodbye and informed her that he would be thinking of her. As soon as he could he trudged back upstairs and shut his door. He allowed himself a sigh as he leaned against his now closed door.

Thank god she was gone.

Still, that had hopefully given Ryuzaki something to think about and the teenager hadn't completed his turn just yet.

This time round he was going to start the games and he was going to win them all, he just had to be careful how and when he played them.

With another sigh the male went over to his drawers and pulled out a pair of pajama's to sleep in before he left the room again for the bathroom. As he had thought there were camera's installed in there as well, they would be ignored when Raito wasn't in the room to give the other members of his family privacy.

Turning the shower on he stripped down as he waited for the water to heat up where he stepped inside. He shut his eyes as he got used to the water, it was honestly helping relax his tense muscles but at the same time he was trying to work out where the cameras were situated.

Turning his body to where he was sure he'd heard a camera whirring near silently he slowly begun to wash.

He was sure only L would be observing him at this time of night and even if someone else was there they wouldn't think anything of it.

Oh he was going to win this game for sure, even if it did take dirty tactics and jealousy and seduction were the best ways he knew.

*****

At the other end of the camera L found himself unable to tear his gaze away, he licked at his lips as the younger moved onto the lower regions of his body.

The ebony haired man was not a very sexual person, he didn't care to masturbate and he certainly didn't usually take part in sexual activities. That had been the reason he had frozen when Raito had moaned under him the day before.

Admittedly he had been slightly confused, he hadn't expected his movements to elicit such a response but as the sound had escaped the others lips he had wanted to hear more. He had ignored the feelings though, he didn't need to deal with such unnecessary feelings rising in him and now he couldn't take his eyes off of the sight in front of him.

He had never been so...interested in watching someone before, it was almost as if Raito was acting it up on purpose.

Wait a second...he had been informed about the cameras and the way he had been acting...he had been working out where the cameras were!

How dare he try and trick him like that, he was not going to be so easily lured into such a trap.

Silently fuming he finally tore his gaze away from the monitor as Raito stepped out of the shower again.

If it was a game that Raito wanted to play then L would play as well but he wasn't going to be so easy to beat.
