DAY CLASS

Raito woke up with a yawn as he turned off his alarm clock to his side.

He groggily noticed the futon unrolled on the floor and went to the bathroom to take a shower to wake himself up and start on his daily morning routine which consisted of 20 minutes of doing his hair, 15 minutes of brushing and flossing, 10 to 15 minutes of getting dressed, and then drinking his morning coffee while reading the paper before going to breakfast.

After his shower he wondered who slept over. It wasn't unusual for one of Dark's friends to spend the night over his room and then sneak out after it was lights out. speaking of Dark, he forgot to read Dark's daily morning note.

He wasn't sure why, but every morning Dark left him a letter to read. sort of like a summary of his day and if anything were to affect Raito then he would state that as well.

I guess He still does think of me as a brother. I don't know why though, after how I treated him.

Raito frowned sadly as he remembered about how he and Dark first became aware of each other. It was when Raito was still a child of 10.

!!FLASHBACK WARNING!!

Raito was coming home from school when he saw a creepy man walk behind him. Raito was a little scared, what if he was one of those stalkers that his teacher warned everybody about?

Raito walked a little faster which in turn made the man walk faster, which made Raito even more scared.

"don't run, It will just make him chase after you"

Raito looked around as he walked in search of the voice, It sounded a little like his own.

"silly, you can't see me yet. don't look around just keep walking as calmly as you can. don't panic your almost home."

Raito listened to the voice and slowed his pace a bit until he got to the corner of his house.

"you can do this. don't worry. I'm here for you if he tries anything."

Raito nodded as he dashed into a sprint. He was almost at his house when the man grabbed his wrist.

Raito Yelped and suddenly he felt weird and the next hing he knew he was watching himself climb up the mans hold using the man's arm as a ladder and punch the man in the chin while giving him a kick in the groin.

The man let Raito go and he dashed inside the house.

Raito watched himself go past his mom and run into his room and lock the door.

And then suddenly he was thrust into his own body again and started to shiver in fear and sniffle as he cried a little.

"please don't cry"

He turned around and saw a shadowy figure of himself. the same face, the same body, the only difference were that his lookalikes eyes were a dark red brown.

The shadow boy looked sad and a little afraid.

"I didn't scare you did I? you don't hate me do you?"

the shadow boy looked so scared and sad that Raito couldn't help but say a faint "no"

Raito wanted to ask him who he was and where he came from, and so many other questions. but he was still shaken from the whole ordeal that he could barely get that No out.

The shadow boy smiled at him and knelt down to give Raito a big hug.

"Don't worry, I will always be here to protect you."

Raito had learned that the shadow boy's name was Dark and because he didn't have any friends he and Dark would play together all the time.

he didn't understand why his family and everyone couldn't see him, but figured Dark was just good at hiding. not even the doctors that Raito's mom took him too could find him, he was just that good.

when he turned 14 Dark disappeared one day, and no matter where he looked and no matter how loudly he shouted he couldn't find him anywhere.

He cried and locked himself in his room for a full day before he calmed down.

He and Dark could always feel each other, it was a special bond that he never understood. but on that day he not only couldn't find Dark, but when he started to try and feel for him all he felt was a cold and empty hole that left him feeling lonely.

#

A few years he had started to forget about Dark entirely and began to live his life as the perfect child to appease his parents and teachers, he was charming and charismatic so that he had plenty of 'friends' and 'girlfriends', he started to loose that happy child he once was and grew cold as he began to realize how empty his life was beginning to become.

It was getting to the point where whenever he got upset or stressed he just left it inside. at first it was just a little ball but after time it grew so big that it was getting hard to keep up his 'perfect' act.

Then on his sixteenth birthday around 10 pm, his mother was talking about his 100 percent scores on everything and how high their expectations of him she had, nothing short of perfect. His father didn't talk at all and simply told him that he was becoming a fine young man, disciplined, hard working, etc etc. basically a working Stiff who was also a stick in the mud. his sister was bragging to him about not having to worry about other people or how she and her friends always did this and that not realizing that all Raito wanted was to stop all this and have some fun for once. and because his family birthday party was happening so late at night he wouldn't be able to study for tomorrows cram school test, although it was his mother that placed him in the stupid cram school even though he was already smart enough without it, and he knew he would be going to bed extremly late because his family get togetherness time always ended up being 5 hours long, sometimes longer....It just wasn't fair.

It was his life after all wasn't it?

BA-bump

Shouldn't HE have a say in how it is run?

BA-Bump

why couldn't he ever do what he wanted to?!

SNAP

At that moment he blacked out, and when he woke up he's clothes were ripped, his hair was a mess and he was sweating as he was...laughing almost manically. He looked out the window to show that it was already lighting outside which ment it was past 4 in the morning.

He looked around him and saw the chairs were fallen over and scattered and the table was turned over. the cake was a splattered mess and the plates where broken near the wall.

His sister was crying holding her head as she stared at him. His mother was in the kitchen screaming into a phone about getting someone to take away her crazy son. And his father was beaten on the ground unconscious with multiple bruises forming on his face, his glasses broken and his hair messed up.

Raito asked with a shaky voice what had happened but all he got where shouts of fear and anger.

as he heard sirens he started to panic and he ran out of the front door and kept running until he came to an empty lot somewhere near his school.

'what.....what happened?'

"They made you upset they made your life a living hell, so I took care of them for you because you couldn't do it yourself"

He turned around to see who had spoken and couldn't see anyone.

"sorry Raito, You are at the age when you can no longer see me. I can't leave you anymore."

raito's eyes widened in realization.

"D...Dark?"

He could almost feel the grin on his shadowy self.

"Yep! Sorry for leaving for those two years. I didn't want to, but for some reason I couldn't leave your body like I used to. I just realized that I could only do that because as a kid you had a lot more energy to burn , where as now I can only do this much. Now I can share your body and talk to you like this."

"what...what have you done?!"

he felt Dark's confusion and frown

"I punished them, you are too honorable and honest to harm your family so I did it for you, if your so called friends where there as well you can bet they'd get theirs as well. All they did was control you and mold you to be their puppet. I've watched you for years and tried to help but was only able to do so now. sorry it took so long."

Raito clenched his fists in anger as he pieced together the puzzle of his family's new attitude towards him.

"Dark"

"hm?"

"What, have you done?"

he heard Dark chuckle, a bit as if remembering something fondly.

"Oh I told your sister to stop bragging and sobbing about her 'less perfect life' and that you would kill to be in her shoes...oh and I think I pulled her hair a bit while I was saying it. then I told your mom to shut up and to stop thinking of you as a tool, that you were more then just a grade machine. you had feelings like anybody else and even though you wouldn't show them you were exhausted and tired of being the 'perfect son who can do no wrong and has a 4.0 grade point average'. and lastly I told your father that you couldn't take his indifference anymore and that it was confusing you, you were not a machine. he tried to slap you to "teach you your place" and in order to stop him from doing so I punched him till he lost consciousness!"

"...Dark"

"yes Raito? anything else? just say the word and I'll help!"

"I HATE YOU!!"

"w-what?"

He could feel Dark's anguish and confusion but he didn't care.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!"

"b-but I was only trying to.."

"TO MAKE IT SO I COULDN'T GO BACK HOME?! TO MAKE IT SO THAT NOW I'LL HAVE THE POLICE LOOKING FOR ME?! TO MAKE IT SO THAT I MIGHT BE KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL!? MY FUTURE IS RUINED BECAUSE OF YOU!!!"

Dark was crushed. all he had wanted to do was to help his other, he hadn't ment for it to be like this.

"I...I'm so-"

"I don't want to hear it. In fact I don't want to hear you. Ever. you left me before and I leared to be on my own, I can do it again quite easily."

"b-but Raito!"

If Raito had a clearer head he would have noticed the sound of Dark's sincerity and that his voice was crushed with a choking sound. almost as if he was crying.

"I said. leave. me. alone."

!!FLASHBACK ENDING!!!

and for years he had ignored Dark's constant pleas and attempts to communicate, even the friend he stayed with thought he had a split personality because at night Dark would come out and leave notes for "himself" and do odd jobs to help out "himself."

It was mid spring when a man approached him while he was in the midst of ignoring Dark. The man called himself Roger and told him of his school that he ran with his partner whom was the headmaster as well.

and thus here he was....he still hated Dark for what he did, and his anger towards Dark was only because Dark still doesn't understand what he did wrong. In his eyes all he was trying to do was Help Raito like he promised.

Raito sighed as he finished brushing his hair and opened the door so that he could make some coffee and read the note before breakfast in the cafeteria.

He met coal owl eyes when he opened the door and promptly screamed and closed the door again locking it in place.

oh god, how did he get in here?! I thought Dark locked the door every night! is he another stalker? I just got rid of Misa from Seiryu High last week I don't think I can deal with another one.

He jumped a bit whe he heard knocking on the door.

"Raito-kun? how much longer are you going to be in the bathroom?"

oh god, he knows my name

"wh-who are you?!"

He heard a sigh and heard shuffling before something was pushed under the door.

Raito jumped away from the door and stared at what was slide and noticed that it was Dark's handwriting.

He picked up the peice of paper and read it slowly.

Dear Raito,

Just to warn you, you now have a roommate. He calls himself L and is an A1.

Be very VERY careful, If he says or does anything to you just call for me and I'll help.

Or If for some reason I can't, then call on my friends or your buds to help out.

Ciao, Dark.

Raito put the note in his pocket and went back to the door and slowly opened it to see that "L" was still waiting in front of the bathroom door with a frown on his face.

"I am sorry if I startled you Raito-kun. but I need to use the bathroom."

L walked past him and went inside before closing the door.

an A1?.......but why would an A1 be put in a dorm room with a roommate?!

Raito made himself some coffee and after thinking about it made some for his roommate as well.

L walked out of the bathroom and saw the extra cup of coffee and smiled as he put his finger to his mouth.

"why thank you Raito-kun"

"y-your welcome"

Raito looked away as he drank his black coffee. This guy was creepy. He walked with a hunch, had wild hair with a tall lanky pale body which he was suprised held his clothes up. but the thing that got to him the most was those eyes. those huge obsidian eyes. They looked as if they could actually stare into your soul....come to think of it this was the same thing that Mail had said just yesterday.

"you should get going Raito-kun, the breakfast bell is just about to ring."

Raito was snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at his watch. he was right, he was going to be late if he didn't hurry.

"aren't you coming?"

L shook his head as he added some sugar cubes to his coffee cup.

"I will not be attending the Day Classes until a few days from now."

"I see, well then....have a good day doing...well what ever it is your going to do"

L nodded and sipped his coffee as he sat down in a chair in an odd way.

"Thank you Raito-kun, you have a good day as well."

Raito took one last look at him before running out the door, leaving L alone with his thoughts.

well, Raito and Dark are as different as...well Light and Darkness. I think I shall enjoy my time here. Yes very much so.

L smiled as he placed several more sugar cubes into his cup.
