A/N: Hello I know I haven't updated in a while but it's spring break and I feel bad for not updating as much as I was hoping to, I am sorry for those who like this story it wasn't intentional to not update for this long. I hope you like this chapter even though I think it's shorter than 6,244 words which is the shortest I have written on this story and is the number of words in chapter two.

Chapter Five: New Development

Light's POV

I was wiping down the counter when I saw that Kamen was sitting in front of me, he scared me to death since I didn't notice he was there. I looked up and smiled at him "where's everyone at? I thought the KC gang goes everywhere together" I said playfully and he smirked at me. "Paris and Greg are playing at home, Merik and Cerik are riding on the dancefloor and Jason chose to stay home to do homework" he answered me and I wasn't at all surprised with what the first two were doing.

I was however surprised with what Jason was doing since I know he has no homework today "when is your shift done today? I'd like to dance with you before we get busy" he asked me and I smiled since he means he'll give me my gang info. I looked to Henry and motioned to Kamen and he nodded so I smiled at Kamen "now" I said and he smiled as I left behind the bar and he brought me to the dance floor as Angel with a Shotgun by The Cab came over the speakers.

He held me close and asked if he was a 'sinner or a saint?' I wasn't really sure which one so I just said what I thought at the moment about the question. "I would say a sinner due to the fact I feel something prominent on my thigh, however I say that answer is in the eye of the beholder" I said and he smirked at me while something flickered in his eyes. It was probably lust, desire, or recognition though I wasn't too sure about that fact, so instead of mulling over something that will probably be apparent pretty soon I reluctantly laid my head on his shoulder.

I cringed ever so slightly from Kamen touching my butt so I decided to just ignore it as best I can, so I turned my head and looked to my left to see that L was walking to a table with four glasses on a trey. He upgraded from two to four in two days I'm happy that he's getting somewhat used to this place it's like a second home to me. As soon and L put the drinks down along with a Ruben and Cuban pork sandwich on the table another song came through the speakers.

A song that seems ironic to me in this scenario, Soul 4 Sale by Simon Curtis, when the song came on Kamen stopped dancing and asked if there was a room in the back we could use for our business. I smiled at him and grabbed his hand dragging him somewhat since I'm not taking too kindly to the blushing a few of the people in here.

I was halted to a stop however when Kamen said he had to grab something from the bar first which wasn't a setback, when he came back he had a black leather satchel with golden colored metal buckles. "Well let's continue" I said and he smiled glad that I can 'join him' from what I could read from his expression, I walked to the dark blue door that was in the back of the club and opened it. We sat down in the black flower inspired contemporary sofa (1) and Kamen put his satchel on his lap before he opened it and handed me a file.

It was a picture of a man with pacific blue eyes and rust brown hair who was six foot one and in a clean cut tailored suit, he was very beautiful. "This is Nakagawa Eito the president of Nakagawa publishing firm in Yokoyama, he's coming here in two days for a major merging proposition with a firm we're planning to make a deal with" Kamen informed me and I was surprised since I didn't think they go after people for this reason.

"How would that hinder your deal in any way might I ask?" I asked and he laughed darkly "because they just so happen to be making the deal the same day we are and they're bringing the Yakuza with them for whatever reason" he told me and I looked at him in surprise. "Do you have a weapon that was developed a few years ago that is not new?" he asked me and I nodded "my father took it from me a few years ago but I'm pretty good at getting what I want" I said and he smirked. "Are you now? Which all your information and how your initiation will go down step by step is in there" he told me before he kissed my neck and then my forehead before he went to my lips and left the room.

As soon as he did L came in and I ran to the restroom which was just to my left and threw up most of my lunch from this morning along with my dinner, I do not like it at all when someone I don't like does that. "Light? Are you alright?" I heard L ask after he knocked on the door "I'm fine Ryuzaki" I said as I walked to the sink and wiped off my mouth "sss sss sssssss Sssss s" (2) I heard Apple hiss and I smiled.

"Yes I am, I just hate it when someone does that when I have terrible memories with them" I told her petting her head and she hissed happily at that, as soon as I wiped my mouth off I walked to the door and opened it to see a worried L a few feet from the door. "Did you get everything you needed from him?" he asked me and I shrugged "I think so however I haven't looked at everything in the file, you need to call a meeting after school tomorrow though so I can tell everyone" I said and he nodded walking out of the room. Since my shift ended a while ago and people are starting to leave I decided I should change in the Employee's room and head back to L's hotel room for the rest of the night.

L's POV

After the first day at this bar I had to admit it was fun even if I'm not used to being around people and being so open in a public place, though that day I also looked up the date of December 12, 2003 and figured out that that was the day that Light and Jason went missing for a week. That date was also the day that the repairs for Seven Minutes in Heaven haven't been increasing even before that day which befuddled me for a while.

Though that was short lived since apparently since the day the vents broke the bar has been less populated even if about one hundred different people including the regulars visit. Also apparently this specific bar is popular with gangs, runaways, bi and gay diplomats, and other gay or bi influential people, this may or may not explain the amount of money Light and the others receive for pay. Out of all the bars and clubs in this city and most of the countries around the world this is the only bar that is popular for those kinds of people which is one reason I had fun, I had learned something from working there.

I was happy this Monday, the second day on the job because it took Light about ten minutes to notice that Kamen was in front of him though it also infuriated me all the same though I don't entirely know the reason for it. I have heard of jealousy and I believe I have also felt it when Jason has talked to Light before, however this emotion seems to be stronger when Kamen is around Light.

"Ryuga? Can you take this order to table seven in the south east section?" I heard Sayu, Light and Kira's, sister ask handing me a tray with two combos and four alcoholic drinks. "Of course" I said and felt a hand on my shoulder making me flinch ever so slightly but not enough for anyone except for maybe Light and Kira to notice. I turned my head to see that it was Sayu who had a hand on my shoulder "are you and Light together L?" she asked in my ear so no one else could hear.

"Why would you make that assumption?" I asked her shocked that she knew that I was L "because my brother has admired the great detective L for a while now, longer than anyone I think" she informed me and I smiled a small smile at being correct. "Light has admired him and he was also his drive for everything he did, and I mean everything" she told me and that was odd in my opinion but oddly I was glad to hear it.

"Light doesn't know this and neither does Kira but I know that Light hates father a lot more than he lets on, I've seen how father acts towards Light when they think no one's watching" she told me and I was curious now. "How does Mr. Yagami act towards Light Mrs. Yagami?" I ask and she smiles "it's Mrs. Matsuda and if you give me your email address or a way to contact you I can tell you anything about Light and Kira that I can answer" she told me and that surprised me. I gave her my email which the police use at some occasions to contact me and she smiled before she told me to deliver the food and I did.

When I passed the dance floor I looked to where Light and Kamen were and saw Light cringe before I looked down to where Kamen's hands were and saw that he was groping Lights butt which angered me but I focused on my tasks and looked straight. "Hello sorry for my lateness there's no excuse I can give for it" I said and they said it was alright so I put their orders on the table and they thanked me.

I noticed after I took my leave that two of them were Eiichi (3) and Akira (4) Wakahisa from the Wakahisa gaming company in Akibara. They were also with Hansuke (5) and Hikaru (6) Fukui from the monetary prefecture in Tokyo, they're all from Japan but they keep moving every year for work they always end up where the other is which confuses many people.

When I turned around to head back for more orders I noticed that Light was leading Kamen somewhere which had me curious before Kamen went to the bar and grabbed the satchel he came in with and that was when I realized that they were going to discuss the gang. I may like working here but I dislike not being part of the investigation when it comes to someone's life, more specifically Lights at the moment. When they went into the back room I decided to wait for Kamen to leave before I asked Light anything about the case or anything at all really.

After about ten minutes Kamen came out and I nodded to him before walking into the room and I noticed that Light looked a little sick, I was about to ask what was wrong before he ran to the bathroom.

"Light? Are you alright?" I asked and I waited a few seconds before he answered though it hurt to know he was lying to me even if I might deserve it for not telling him the truth from the start. If he was a suspect in maybe a murder case then it might be somewhat a different story though I would've still told him who I really was a short while after. When Light opened the door I asked if he got everything but he was unsure so we decided we would head back to my place so he could check if everything he needed was there.

After he changed and we walked back I decided to ask about the Japanese company owners from the club "Light?" I asked and L looked at me with a barely there look which surprised e since he is normally not like that especially around me. "What do you know of Eiichi and Akira Wakahisa and Hansuke and Hikaru Fukui?" I asked him and he looked shocked for a minute before he smiled "they are good friends of mine and regulars of the club, why do you ask?" he told me and I was surprised to hear this information because I have not seen them the last time.

"I met them earlier when I was giving them their orders, I noticed that they were sitting together and they are always shown to move yearly yet they're always seen together in their annual move" I said and he laughed lightly at my information. "Is it that surprising for couples to move around together especially when one of the brothers happens to have an illness?" he asked me and I was again surprised since that was not mentioned. "Who's with who then? And who's ill?" I asked curious about this new information, I heard him laugh lightly at me before he answered.

"Hikaru is with Eiichi and Akira is with Hansuke, Hansuke is the one who is ill, his illness is unknown but it isn't fatal or contagious and it doesn't keep him bound to one place" Light informed me and I smiled glad that Hansuke and the others aren't in serious danger. "How long have they been married and why didn't I see them last time?" I asked and Light smiled at me again as we entered the hotel "last Friday was their seven year anniversary of both of their weddings" he told me and I smiled at that, though my smile wasn't very big.

"Do you want me to make something for you to eat overnight?" Light asked and I nodded as I headed to the bedroom and decided to check my email and other cases to see if there's anything interesting in either of those. When I did I noticed there was and I smiled I non-noticeable smile when I saw that Sayu had emailed me, when I was about to reply Light came in with a plate of goodies I don't know the name of. "What are those?" I asked and he smiled at me as he set them down on the bedside table next to me as I sat down on the other side of the bed and got under.

"They're Swirled Cheesecake Brownies with sugar covered strawberries and chocolate drizzle *yawn* on top" Light said and I smiled as I felt him settle into the comforter. "Goodnight Light" I said and he said the same with my name before I heard him snoring and decided to reply to Sayus' email.

-Dear Sayu Matsuda,

Yes this is L I look forward to getting to know more about Light especially about his Life at home. I especially want to know Light's relationship with your father and brother. I look forward to your reply, have a great nights rest and a peaceful rest of your days.

Sincerely,

L

When I finished the email I reread and made the necessary corrections to it so it would make sense for someone not as smart as Light and I, when that was done I sent the email and picked up a dessert from the tray Light had made and ate it. As usual it was delicious and was very fancy compared to normal homemade food though it still tasted great. When I finished the food I for some reason felt oddly tired and even more so when I heard Lights gentle breathing and snores which created a melodic sound to my ears.

When I laid down I faced the wall and immediately focused on Lights sleeping tune and fell into a restful sleep which hasn't happened for a long while. When I awoke it was five a.m. and Light was also stirring however it wasn't from waking up it was way different.

When I shook his shoulders it didn't help much, when I called his name to try and wake him it also had no effect so I had to think of a way to calm him, with or without waking him up. I'd rather choose the one where he isn't whimpering for help or for whatever is happening to stop, so I did what I think would calm me down and what I think my mother did when I was younger. I moved closer to Light and turned him over on his back, then I pulled his chest closer to mine whispering reassuring words into his ear.

What I did seemed to have worked since the whimpering calmed down to where it ceased completely, however when I tried to move away he whimpered again and grabbed my shirt wiggling closer to where there was more heat. When he was against my chest again he laid his head on my chest and his tense shoulders seemed to have relaxed, because of this event I chose to stay where I was and wait till he wakes up to move.

When it was time to wake up I saw that he was stirring, this time for a good reason, when he woke he seemed shocked to see he was lying on me. That wasn't really a surprise though until he jumped up from his position and fell backwards off the bed. "I see you don't like waking up like that huh?" I asked and he glowered at me most likely for stating the obvious "never have and how did I end up like that anyway?" he asked and I smiled sympathetically at him as I got up and helped him off the floor.

"You were having a nightmare so when I tried waking you up it resulted in being ineffective so I pulled you closer to help soothe you in some way, it worked however you weren't wanting the 'comfort?' to leave yet so you did that" I explained and he nodded dumbly but I could tell that he was embarrassed from the way his cheeks gained a light pink hue.

"Thank you L, Sayu was the only one that used to do that" he told me and I looked at him confused and a little sad from hearing that since she moved out when Light and Kira were in seventh grade about five years ago. "What does your mother, father or Kira do?" I asked and earned a shake of the head "mother and father don't know though if mother did she would probably do what you and Sayu did, and Kira just gets either Cleo or Aries to wake me up" he told me just as Cleo wrapped around Lights neck and hissed something.

"What'd she say?" I asked and he smiled sadly at me "we have to get ready for school and that she's half sorry she wasn't in here to help" he told me confusing me in the process. "Why would she only be half sorry?" I asked and Cleo hissed an answer making Light blush and yell at Cleo "Cleo where did you put that?!" he had yelled making me more confused. "Where's what? And what did she say Light?" I asked and he stopped running around the room trying to grab Cleo "she said she's only half sorry cause that moment would make a great anniversary photo since she took a picture of it" he told me and I felt my eyes grow wide.

"Anniversary… photo? What does she mean by that?" I asked confused and shocked, shock because she took a picture and I didn't even see her do it "nothing L and it means she printed multiple copies of the pictures and uploaded them somewhere to" he said and I stood stock still from hearing that. I looked to the clock and saw that we have an hour left till we head to school "Light we can get her to tell us during or after school right now we need to get ready like she said" I told him as Cleo slithered up my body and curled around my neck making a happy hissing noise

"Don't be too happy Cleo we still have the school day as well as when I make breakfast" he told her and she, in a word, deflated at the news. When we got dressed we left the room and Light started making breakfast while also making our lunches even though I was pretty sure he was making lunches for the entire school which has over 1,000 people in it. When Light finished making the food he placed it on the table and said it was a strawberry trifle and that he was having a Portobello omelet which didn't really look too bad for me to want to eat.

Lunch time at Calla Lily Lights' POV

Lunch wasn't entirely great though talking to L about the Arabian diplomacy was very invigorating until we were interrupted by Jason which is what annoyed me in the first place. "What is it Jason? And why weren't you at the club yesterday?" I asked him and he smiled sadly at me though there was a hint of hope in his eyes which says something that I don't entirely like.

"Kamen wants me to be your partner during the initiation and I was to inform you of that before you were to tell the investigation team, they don't know what you're planning or that you're doing this to arrest them so don't worry" he told me and I calmed somewhat though that doesn't explain the hope that unease's me. "Okay that is good to know though I thought I remind him of Light and you are the one that is closer to Light, so why would Kamen choose you to be my partner for this?" I asked and Jason started to fidget which I didn't like. "It's for that reason actually, to get you to open up to being in the gang so in case I quit, which I'm thinking of doing, you can be open in liking him" he said and bile rose to my throat but I swallowed it down.

"Ah so that's the reason would you mind telling him that if that ever does happen I'll have to be open to him not you for that result?" I asked and he nodded before he left to possibly do that since I haven't seen Kamen in this school or the others for that matter. "Do you actually intend on opening up to him and staying in the gang?" I heard L ask and I shook my head shocked at what he asked "I would never think of doing something like that, and I already found something that can help me not kill my target tomorrow" I said and now it was his turn to be shocked.

"The day of the initiation is tomorrow and that is when I am to 'kill' my target which I think I know a way to get around that and Jason being my partner is icing on the cake" I said and he still seems confused but nodded anyway. When the conversation ended L and I had already finished our food and decided to head to the headquarters early so we could talk when we get there which I'm glad for. I still dislike that L lied about his name and who he was but I also thought when I saw him that I had admired him long before I met him which is why I'm mainly upset at myself for it.

When we got there I brought out the target file and read it over again to make sure I didn't lose anything, I didn't lose anything since: the picture of target, weapon characteristics, targets personal and work file, reason for target, date to eliminate target, my kill number, partner, and everything else is there. I looked up when I felt something change and saw that my father was at the door, I tried very hard not to jump from fright but I knew it was visible in my eyes or facial expression since he seemed angry.

"Good evening father it has been a long time, how are you?" I asked standing up and bowing my greeting which confused Matsuda who just walked in "hello Matsuda" I said nodding my head in his direction gaining a 'hello Light' and a smile in return. As soon as Matsuda walked in everyone else started following after until everyone was present for the meeting before it started with my father asking what I found out. "Well father the first and second day of the investigation went well, very well in fact, I got a target to actually join the gang" I said and everyone except for L was astonished.

"I take it you have the information needed in that file there?" I heard my father ask and I nodded "yes the one I'm supposed to 'kill' in this sense is Eito Nakagawa from Nakagawa publishing located in Yokoyama" I said and everyone gasped even though it shouldn't be that surprising. "Why is their target Mr. Nakagawa?" I heard Aizawa ask and I answered simply "because he is making a major merging deal with the same company they are going to deal with on the same day and considering they are quite well known it'll be hard to make the deal when they find out" I said and everyone nodded.

"What does the file contain Light?" I heard L ask and I looked him in the eye when I answered "my kill number, my targets information both personal and work related, the weapon I am supposed to use, and all other required information for my task from them" I said and he nodded. "What weapon are you supposed to use Light?" I heard my father ask and I turned to him with a serious expression "any weapon that has been manufactured more than three years prior to today, which brings me to ask you a question" I said and everyone looked towards me. "That would be?" he asked and I almost flinched from the hard look I was given "I am to 'eliminate' my target at 5:15 tomorrow after he gets off work and heads home through an alley and to complete that task I need the knife you took from me a few years ago" I said and everyone looked wide eyed at me including L.

"Which knife would that be son?" he asked me and I almost laughed at that question because he knows which one "my Taschenmesser Higonokami Burasu, inkl. Lederetui" I answered and his smile withered. I looked to L and he nodded "Mr. Yagami where is Light-kuns knife?" I heard L ask and I was surprised but not surprised to hear him use that honorific "I carry it with me, here you go Light" I heard my father say placing an object on the table and sliding it towards me.

I picked it up and opened it to see that it was indeed my knife but the wording is different than the last time I saw it "father what happened to the writing on the handle?" I asked and saw Matsuda point to writing on the handle but that writing came with it. "I had it filled in and new writing put on it" he informed me and I was angry but I didn't act on that emotion "why would you fill it in and inscribe the word…" I said before I read it and noticed that it said EXPERIMENTAL SON which is not what I would want on it. I gripped the knife tighter as I read and re-read the wording and the reasons for it going through my mind, none of which pleased me in any way.

"What does it say Light-kun?" I heard L ask and I looked at him to see a concerned look which was covered by a confused and curious one "it says BELOVED on it" I said but I could tell he didn't buy it. "What's your kill number Light? So we can distinguish it from other killings with a code on it" I heard Mogi ask and I looked towards him before I opened the file seeing the number and reading it out loud. "It's 402938" I said and everyone nodded before taking other files out, most likely to compare the pictures to my number "it won't be there" I said and they were confused before I said 'my number' and they questioned why I would say that but I closed up from answering that.

"What do you plan on using to not kill Eito Nakagawa tomorrow?" I heard Mogi ask and I smiled with no particular reason as to why I am doing so "enhanced Tranexamic acid" I said and everyone snapped their heads in my direction when I said it. "Aren't the symptoms worse than dying for some people?" I heard Matsuda ask and I looked at him with a bewildered expression "That depends on the person and the symptoms since those are most likely caused by the rare symptoms" I answered and he nodded.

"What does L think of the plan?" I heard Aizawa ask and I looked to L since I never even consulted with him over this matter before arriving here "that is fine, it seems like a more logical plan with less mistakes than any other plan" I heard him say and his wording and reasoning was odd in my opinion. "Since there is nothing else of importance to share this meeting is closed" I heard L say and looked to my father to see he was smirking at me and I didn't like the look in his eyes in the least. I stood up when my father and L did which was odd that they stood up at the same time, my father wished me luck on the work and I bowed when he said goodbye.

"That was enlightening" I heard L say when we were the only ones left in the room, his wording confused me again and I didn't like the odd feeling I keep getting from it. "What was the wording on the knife really Light?" he asked next after we entered the elevator to head home to his hotel "It said 'EXPERIMENTAL Son'" I said and saw that that made L a little mad if only a tiny bit. "I can see why you didn't answer honestly before" he said after a while and I smiled a small barely there smile at the response.

Ls' POV

When we had gotten back to our room in the hotel Light started making dinner right away and I was thankful for that because I was waiting to see what he would make as well as try whatever it is as well. I was annoyed that Mr. Yagami had changed the writing on Lights' knife especially when he had no right to do so and because those words now inscribed onto the blade is something that he shouldn't have even known in the first place.

After about an hour and a half Light came into the room announcing that dinner was done if I wanted to eat right now, at the mention of the food being done I had immediately jumped off the bed not acting my normal apathetic self. Though hearing Lights' deep chuckle at my action made it almost or entirely worth it I couldn't really tell. When I reached the table I saw delicious looking food that almost made my mouth water just from the appearance, I sat down as Light also placed down his food and drink before standing straight up and stiff as a tree.

"Today I had made you a Sweet and Silky Strawberry Sorbet and for a drink I made Plum Flummery" he said and I was excited to see what it tastes like "for myself I had made a Poached Ginger Chicken and a Coconut-Blueberry Green Smoothie" Light finished and as usual the food he makes sound weird but mainly the drinks. We had ate in silence until I decide that the silence was almost but not entirely suffocating "hey Light?" I asked and Light paused looking up from his ¾ finished meal to give me his full attention.

"Have you ever made these dishes before?" I asked and he shrugged "not for people I am close with no, many of the things I have been making are specialties at some of my restaurants" he told me and I smiled from hearing that. "Interesting, how are your restaurants doing any way?" I asked him and he smiled at me "quite well despite me not ever being there because of school" he told me and that piqued my interests. "Don't you have to visit them at some points to check up on how they're doing?" I asked after he swallowed another bite of food "when I am in the country nearby one of the restaurants locations I'll visit then but I don't see any reason to other than important events" he answered and that made a lot of sense.

"What kind of events do you go visit them?" I asked and he smiled as he finished everything "the openings, closings, anniversaries, etc." he said as he put his dishes in the washer and I finished my food as well before he took my dishes and put them in the washer. "How was the food? Was it okay or do I need to make something else next time?" he asked me and I nodded before I verbally answered "it was very good as it always is I don't think you need to change it unless you get bored of it" I said and he smiled a vibrant smile.

"Very well thank you for the commentary it is very useful" he told me and I could tell it meant a lot to him, even though he still must be mad at me for lying to him it seems to have gone away gradually within the last few weeks. "I'm not really mad at you specifically L" I heard him murmur and I was surprised at it but I didn't let it show and I didn't voice it either. "Let's go to bed L, I'm tired and we have a lot to do tomorrow" Light said and I did as was told but instead just emailed Sayu that she could answer my questions about Light tomorrow while he was on a job, she agreed and I called it a night when Light fell asleep.\
