Chapter 10: Promise
Luna smiled "I see my disguise doesn't fool you"
BB snickered "How could I not notice you?"
Luna took out the brown contacts "These things hurt"
BB just looked at her 'Why is she here?' he wondered. Luna then got down on one knee and pulled something out of her pocket and putting it in the door lock jiggled it around. "What are you doing?"
The door opened and she quickly slid in and closed it. She then took a few steps so she was now standing in front of BB. "How did you do that?" he asked
"It's a lock pick. I am a thief after all" she replied
"Oh"
Next thing Beyond knew he was knocked to the ground after being punched in the stomach. The sound was loud enough that the other asylum inmates outside the door flinched. The blond woman had guts the prisoners had to admit. He looked angrily up at her "What the hell was that for?"
"You killed three people and then almost killed yourself. You split all contact with everyone. And you told me nothing"
Beyond looked at her and got up again "Why can't you be a normal girl for once and smack me? That hurt"
"Quit being a cry baby"
"Look I realize what I did to those three people was horrific, but I wanted to outsmart L and frame him"
"And this was the only way?"
"Yea"
"I don't understand why"
"So we all can be happy"
"You're saying you did this for all of us, your friends?" Luna questioned
"Yes"
"That makes no sense"
"If L were to fail then everyone would realize L isn't perfect; that we don't have to be him. I admit when I killed those people that something snapped, and I became a monster, but once it was over even I was trembling. Going that far was uncalled for, but at the same time it had to happen. If it didn't then L wouldn't have been interested. He wouldn't have come, but then I wouldn't have been caught. If L were to fail then everyone at Wammys would have less pressure to be perfect, and if we didn't want to be L then we could admit it. Or if L was gone we could form a team like we wanted. We could be happier."
"Beyond, I admit Wammys isn't the best, but eliminating L. The hatred you have for him is foolish. Your reasoning may seem good, but its miss guided, and while the idea of all being together is great it couldn't happen now. Also, it can't start off like that. We all still care about each other I know that much, but L has a meaning to the whole world that we didn't understand. And now I do the world needs L. Even if L were to disappear or join our detective group it would never work. We all knew it would never work we just liked the idea of being together; of never being alone. The paths we have all chosen are different, and maybe we did that ourselves, but it would have happened eventually. Ace wouldn't want this. I don't want this."
"But Luna"
"Beyond, right now you need to be here. You are trying to act like yourself, but I know that you changed and I know you are still not yourself. You're not the BB I know. That we all know" Luna told him
Beyond's eyes flashed "What makes you any better than me?"
"I never said I was" Luna told him
"You implied it!" Beyond said and launched himself toward her
Luna quickly punched him again and practically flew out of the cell closing the door and relocking it. "You just proved my point"
BB snickered "Ok, ok, you win for now"
"How about this? When you finally snap back into reality and become the real Beyond again I'll let you out, but until then you will stay here to rot like the thing you've become"
"What?"
"Figure it out. I'll visit again" Luna said and left.
"Is everything okay?" The desk lady asked
"Yes" Luna told her and left.
The lady picked up the phone and dialed a number "You told me to call if anyone came to visit him. A woman came. And it seems her eyes went from brown to purple"
Minutes later a car appeared outside and L came into the building. He lazily waved to the desk lady and walked through the door until he was at Beyond's cell. "Where did she go?"
"Who?" BB asked
"You know what I'm talking about. Luna was here now where did she go?"
"Luna was here?" Beyond exclaimed the unenthusiastically added "Don't remember"
"Stop covering for her what was she here for?"
"Can't you just look at the cameras? Don't they have sound?"
"She disabled them"
Beyond cackled "Interesting"
"This isn't funny where is she?"
"You tell me"
L sighed "There's no getting through to you is there?"
"Not you" Beyond said tilting his head sideways and staring at the floating letters and words above him.
"Fine. It seems I'm done here" L said blankly and left
"She doesn't trust you anymore! None of us do!" Beyond shouted after him
~1 year later~
Luna crawled through the vent until she reached her destination. She became aware the people here and L tried to keep track of when she was here, so she no longer used the front door, or the same disguise or reason to be here. She had looked at the charts of names for a reason. Claiming to be here to see someone and then seeing BB. He had begun shifting back to normal, but she still didn't enter the cell; though they both would sit by it. She would also disable the cameras at random times so they could never predict when it was her or if she was there or not there. She had visited a couple times. She also kept up being a thief. She dropped down inside of the room with BB and the still empty cell. "Back again I see" Beyond said to her
"Yea" Luna replied 'He still hasn't lost L's speech patterns, but at least he doesn't copy everything L does anymore' she thought to herself.
"It's been a while since your last visit"
"I know sorry I had things to do"
"So, did you ever get that car?"
"Yes, I did. A nice red 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle."(hope I spelled that right)
"You aren't old enough to even have a license yet. You're only 15"
"The government doesn't know that" Luna said sticking her tongue out.
They talked a while longer and Luna finally left.
~A few months later~
Luna finally would come into the cell with Beyond and he was becoming better with each visit. It was as if every visit he became better. When L would visit he could tell too. Though BB would still not talk to him about Luna and would keep up a sarcastic demeanor (more than usual at least). L would eventually get bored or irritated and leave. He swore only Watari, Beyond, Luna, Near, Mello, and Matt could make him have any emotion.
~A few more months later~
Luna dropped through the ceiling in BB's cell. "Geez" he said a little freaked out at the unexpected visit.
"Sorry" Luna said to him and sat down on the bed beside him
"Your random visits always cheer me up. Even if you do just pop in every once in a while"
"Glad to hear it" Luna said handing him a jar of strawberry jam which he excitedly grabbed and ate
"Try not to be messy" she urged him
"Yea, I know. They can't know you're here, but I wouldn't do that anyway because I don't want them to stop you from visiting"
Luna smiled then her smile faded a little "L joined a new case"
"Really?"
"Yes, they are calling him Kira"
"Kira?"
"Yea, apparently he punishes criminals"
"Interesting, how?"
"I'm thinking a Death Note"
"What makes you think that?"
"Because most of them have died of heart attacks and this Kira never seems to be around"
"So, he has a shinigami then?"
"I would guess so, unless he's like us"
"Perhaps, but the Death Note I inherited disintegrated, and you never saw your father's after his death, but it should have gone to you"
"Yea, but maybe the shinigami like them"
"Or they are bored"
"True"
"Do you think this Kira will find us?"
"I don't know"
"L hasn't visited in a long time"
"Yea"
"Luna?"
"What?"
"Promise me that no matter what you won't let Kira catch you"
"Okay, but you promise the same"
~2 months later~
"Luna the bells have gotten louder"
"Then I think it's time to break you out"
"Seriously?"
"Yes, I've been visiting for the past week and they keep growing louder"
"Which means my death will come soon"
"Don't say that" Luna told him
"You know it's true"
"It's possible"
"Shall we go then?"
"Yea" Luna said then quickly dived under the bed to where she couldn't be seen
Beyond was confused until the outer door opened and the laundry man came in. "Laundry" he told him
"Oh ok" Beyond responded
The man turned around for something and suddenly fell to the ground. His life span indicated he was still alive. Luna quickly dragged him into Beyond's cell. Beyond walked out and waited as she took the guys uniform (He was wearing boxers) and put it on herself. "Get in" she told Beyond pointing at the large laundry basket.
Beyond looked at her momentarily then did as she directed. Luna then took the laundry man's hat, which would cover her face, and locked the cell. Luna opened the outer door and began pushing the large basket toward the laundry room. She had gotten to know the layout of the asylum just in case. And finally they reached the laundry room with no problem. She quickly opened the window and ushered Beyond through it. When he was safely out the window and to where he would be hidden from anyone guarding outside she turned to the basket and took off the uniform. As she was stripping it off (don't worry she had her normal clothes on still) a man pushing a similar basket came in and looked at her "Who are you? What are you doing?" He began questioning
Luna quickly got behind him and hit a pressure point in his leg knocking him to the ground. She then kicked him in the stomach hard knocking him out. She then climbed out the window and grabbing BB's hand found a way to get on the roof and they ran quickly getting away. "Well that was easy"
Beyond sighed in relief "Good"
"Yea"
"Guess you're good at stealing people too"
Luna snickered and stared at him "Are they still loud?"
"Yea, they are" Beyond admitted
"I wish I could see your life span" Luna told him
"I think its better you don't" Beyond told her and grabbed her chin then added "It'd only make you sad"
Luna smiled then froze as Beyond moved closer and kissed her. Then cautiously she kissed back. "I love you Luna" Beyond told her when they broke apart.
Luna shook her head "You can't love me, no one should"
"And yet I do, and I know someone else who does"
"What?"
"Never mind, I just… promise me you will be happy."
