DA- I am really liking how this is going! gods I have so many chapter ideas for this but for me the hard part isn't thinking them up but how to write them really. and the fact that I am terrible at grammar and punctuation and Im quite sure that my settings and descriptions are off....(sniff) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

Dark- (slaps cheek) shut up! will you just shut up?! my god woman get a hold of yourself and write the damned story already! my fans are waiting!

DA-......thank you I needed that. By the way, I shall be posting a AMV with the songs I choose at the bottom of the chapter every time I use a song for those who want to hear and I highly suggest listening to the song whenever the band is playing to get the full effect of it..and FU Dark

"Seriously guys!"

"Seriously Raito! sheesh you'd think he tried to murder you in your sleep"

"Yea all we wanna do is meet the new guy!"

Raito groaned as he reluctantly was dragged along with Mail, Cassandra, and Miheal towards his room.

"look I told you he isn't anything special and Dark didn't tell me anything else other then that ok? Besides you know I'm a firm believer in (1)Murphy's Law? WELL I THINK THAT APPLIES FOR TODAY! "

but his protests were in vain as Mail kicked open the door and they all walked in to see L sitting in that weird position of his knees up to his chest and his hands on his knee's as he sipped some tea.

L looked up from his tea and stared at them all.

Miheal yelped and hid behind Cassandra. Cassandra pushed up her glasses and Mail put his hands in his pockets and frowned as he studied the weird man in front of him.

"I was not aware that you would be bringing your friends over Raito-kun," He stared at his now empty cup, "I wouldv'e made more tea"

Raito sighed and pulled out the pillows that they all sat on when they came to hang out in his room.

after they all got comfortable and L brought in more Tea for everyone Raito coughed loudly to get L's attention.

"L, these are my friends. Cassandra who is a A3"

Cassandra bowed a little and gave him a small smile

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance"

"Mail, he's an A2"

Mail nodded with his arms crossed as he lit a cigarette

"wus up?"

"and the shy blond thing you see hiding behind Cassandra is Miheal, he is a special type of A2"

Miheal peeked his head out from behind Cassandra's back while still clutching to her and attempted a smile

"N-n-nice t-t-to me-me-meet yo-y-you"

Miheal stuttered a bit more making him blush and hide behind Cassandra again who just sighed and patted his head from behind her.

L smiled a creepy small smile as he placed his fore finger to his lips.

" Hello, I am L. There is no need to be so shy Miheal-kun. I assure you that I am quite well behaved despite my status in this school."

Mail slammed his fists on the floor in front of him with force that made everything shake a little.

"AH-HAH! so you ARE a A1?!"

L tilted his head as if confused and scratched his head with his left hand.

"is that not already common knowledge among the school? If not then please forgive my assumptions"

Mail looked as if he was going to shout some more but Cassandra cut him off with a cold stare that made him sit back down in a huff.

"no please forgive him L, he is prone to outbursts and accusations..."

L put up his hand to stop her.

"no apologizes are necessary Cassandra-chan. I find it quite refreshing to meet people that are not afraid to speak their mind"

Mail stuck out his chest with a big grin and stuck his tongue out at Cassandra.

"see Cass? I'm refreshing!"

Miheal laughed a little as Cassandra rolled her eyes.

"L, I hope you do not mind. but I am curious.."

"as most humans are, please ask your question Cassandra-chan"

Cassandra blinked at the honorific and stammered.

"v-very well then," she cleared her throat, "we all know that after a certain age we stop Shadowing and simply Switch when we fall asleep."

L traced his lips with his thumb, intrigued.

"yes, go on."

"well...if you are truly a A1 then I can presume what state you must be in when you Switch and I'm not sure I feel comfortable with Raito shacking up with someone who might-"

"now I think I should stop you there and halt any further misunerstandings. I assure you all that Raito-kun is in no danger with me 'shacking up' with him, in fact nobody is in danger of me because I do not sleep."

Cassandra placed a hand on her chest with wide eyes, Mail took out his used up cig and lit up a new one, Raito looked at him in wonder, and Miheal looked at him in confusion.

"B-b-but h-h-how do yo-you not sl-sleep?"

"simple, I keep myself caffinated and on a 'sugar high'. and if the situation gets truly desperate I have some pills that garantee to keep me up"

Raito opened a bag of chips and took a couple of bites before asking, "isn't that dangerous?"

L stared at Raito for a moment, making him shiver involentary, before answering.

"....would Raito-kun prefer to meet my Other? because I think that would be more dangerous then the danger's of my body or health deteriorating"

Mail crushed his cigarette and laughed.

"he's got ya there bud! OI! Miheal cut that out!"

Raito just noticed that the blond boy was still hiding from behind Cassandra but a shadowy version of himself was laughing as it held Mail's cigarette carton in it's fist.

"I-I'm s-s-orry! B-but I c-c-can't s-stop him!"

L stared at wonder at Miheal and at the shadowy figure in front of him with wide eyes and a small smile across his lips.

"Miheal? you are still able to Shadow at your age? that in itself is astounding, but how is it I am able to see him?"

"so you figured it out freak? bout time too, I was getting bored just watching"

"This is how Miheal is a 'special' A2. He can still Shadow even though he has already passed puberty and not only that but his Other Mello, can be seen by others...well others like ourselves anyway."

"yup! normal people can't see Mello at all. Nada! Zilch! Zip!"

"GOD THEY GET IT ALREADY SHUT UP OR I'LL CRUSH YOUR DAMN CIG'S!!!"

Mail growled at Mello and tried to hit him, only to fall through.

"YOU ALREADY ARE YOU DUMBASS NOW GIVE EM BACK!"

Mello snorted and scowled at Mail and threw the crushed packet at his goggled head.

"god I'm still getting used to how different you all are when you aren't Switched"

"t-then m-maybe you sh-should go f-f-f-or now?"

Mello glared at his Other and looked as if he was about to snap at him but then thought better of it and his scowl shifted to a frown.

"Was getting bored with you assholes anyway"

With that Mello faded away.

"does Mello Shadow often Miheal-kun?"

they all turned to L. They had forgotten for a moment that there was a new friend with them that needed to learn these things.

Miheal blushed a bit at being acknowledged directly and kept his gaze low.

"Y-yes s-s-ir. b-but on-only when h-he's b-bored or f-finds someth-thing new.....or when I'm scared"

the last part was barely a whisper but was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Oh Miheal...."

Cassandra took the blond from behind her and pulled him into a awkward hug making the blond even more flustered.

"...WELL! not that this hasn't been Buckets of fun but I think we should get going before Headmaster Wammy figures out that we've been sneaking here after classes every day."

Mail stood up and picked up his crushed pack of cigarettes with a frown and sighed as he shoved them in his pants pockets.

"yes, we should be going. if we delay for too long we could Switch right here, and that would not do. Hikaru likes to take her time making her appearance look horribly grotesque, do you realize that I found a bottle of BLACK HAIR DYE?! as if I would let her change my beautiful hair to that musty color.....but it suites you perfectly L."

"no offense was taken Cassandra-chan I assure you, although I think you would look lovely with dark hair."

Cassandra let go of Miheal, who quickly stood up and went to the door, and walked out the door with a wave.

"see ya tomorrow dorks!"

"g-g-goodnight!"

as the door closed Raito laughed into his hand as he saw his black haired roommate narrow his eyes in resentment.

".....dorks Raito-kun?"

Raito could no longer hide it and laughed as he tried to explain.

"I know, I've tried to explain to him thousands of times that the word dork is not a term of endearment but still...its just so...him I guess"

L hm'd in response and rolled out his futon.

"wait, I thought you didn't sleep?"

"that is correct Raito-kun"

"...then why are you making a futon?"

"it is for meditation purposes I assure you, I will not fall asleep so do not worry"

".....right, well I'm going to bed now. see you in the morning."

"goodnight Raito-kun"

Dark was in front of the mirror brushing his wig, which had a huge knot in the side of it.

"Ah fuck it I already look Stunning, don't you agree?"

he turned to L who was sipping more of the tea flavored sugar.

L looked up for a moment before adding more sugar to his cup.

"yes, you are very attractive. Why do you need a wig? is it simply to differentiate between your identity and Raito-kun's?"

Dark put on the wig after combing the bangs and pulling it back in a long ponytail that traced down his back.

"well there is that...and you could say I'm a tad vain too"

he chuckled as put on his trademark trench coat and belted boots and looked back and forth between gloves before putting a pair on.

"so L, you planning on coming to class tonight? or are you just going to sit there sipping sugar?"

L placed his forefinger to his lips and hugged his knees with his other hand wrapping around them.

"yes, I think I shall tonight. after yesterdays settling being done with I think it would be nice to see Raito's friends again."

Dark looked over his shoulder at him as he was still in front of the mirror.

"don't you mean for the first time?"

"ah yes of course, although I did have the pleasure of meeting Mello-kun yesterday"

Dark stopped posing and turned around with a small smile.

"did you now? now that IS interesting!," he laughed before continuing, "you see he was royally pissed off that you didn't show last night, so I suppose that was his way of meeting you"

L nodded before standing up and going towards the door.

"If Dark-kun is done gazing at himself I think we should go to the cafeteria to get something to eat before class begins."

Dark scrunchied his nose at him with disgust.

"your not going to change?"

".....no"

"but you've been wearing that ever since you've came! its got to be disgusting by now!"

"I changed this morning I assure you Dark-kun"

Dark groaned as he ran his fingers through his long bangs and walked with him out the door.

"I swear, do you take ANY pride in your appearance? you'd better watch out otherwise Hikaru will try to give you a makeover"

L's eyes widened at that

"I shall be careful Dark-kun, thank you for the warning."

"DAMMIT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY CHOCOLATE DONUT?! YOU TOOK IT DIDN'T YOU BITCH?!"

"FER GOD'S SAKE MEL AH DIDN" TAKE IT! AH CAN GIT MAH OWN DAMN DONUTS!"

"BULLSHIT! I KNOW I TOOK THE LAST ONE AND YOU WERE TWO PACES BEHIND ME IN THE LINE SO WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THE DONUT?!"

Mello stood up with one fist on the table and the other clenched towards her face while Hikaru stood also with the same position.

Matt sighed as he glanced up from his PS3 for a second.

"do you two need to do this every morning? Mello, I gave her my donut cuz I don't like Bavarian chocolate filling, I thought it was the vanilla creme filled one so I GAVE IT TO YA DIDN'T I?! YA DIDN'T LIKE THAT DID YA YOU BASTARD?! EAT THIS!"

"YOU STAY OUTTA THIS!" the two yelled in unison

"Matt, would you kindly keep the volume down just a notch? I am trying to concentrate"

Near was putting together a white puzzle that had tiny grey and black specks on it.

Dark laughed as we saw the look on L's face and sat in his ususalspot at the table and leaned back on the chairlike it was a rocking chair.

"so guys, whats new?

Mello stopped yelling as he stared at L and sat down with a know-it-all smirk followed by a miffed but interested Hikaru.

"well L? aren'y you going to introduce yourself to us? or are you to mysterious and special for that?"

L sat down on the chair with his knees to his chest and his hands resting on them with his thumb to his bottom lip.

"I never said I was Mello-kun. greetings, I...am L"

Hikaru played with her now black hair.

"Hikaru, but ya can call meh Karu"

"Matt YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!"

"Near, please excuse Matt. when he is in game mode he tends to blend his speech with his game talk"

"......."

Dark was laughing silently in his chair with his face in his palm for the rest of breakfast.

#

"well? how do ah look?!"

Hikaru sauntered into the music room with her hair dyed a dark black with light blue and red streaks everywhere, her hair tied up in a side ponytail with a black hair tie.

Mello dropped his drumsticks that he was trying to twirl and stared at her with his mouth agape and his eyes bulging.

Matt turned to look at her and took out his cigarette to smile and mutter "cool do" before going back to his PSP.

Dark lifted his dark shades and whistled

"nice, but how are you going to keep it that way?"

"OH MY GOD CASS IS GONNA THROW A FUCKIN' FIT!"

Mello laughed loudly as he held his sides while Hikaru stuck his tongue at him.

"alright guys, cool it. the people are starting to come in...and I think we should start out with Gonna go far and finish it with Beast."

as the crowd started to fill in Dark's eyes scanned the room and smirked when he saw L standing near the door like last time.

This time, I'll wipe that nonchalant look off your face. I'll make your face shine with Ecstasy

Hikaru and Matt started it off with the guitar and the bass with mello hitting the drums in a fast pace.

Dark took hold of the mike stand and held it close to his face as his ponytail fell on his shoulder.

"Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you get back into line
A mob jumps to their feet


Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you"

The crowed started jumping along to the beat as Dark moved along the stage with his eyes closed as he gripped the mike stand

"And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid"

he opened his eyes as he glared out at the audience as Matt sang along next to him

"With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me"

Matt was now back to back with Dark as they sang. Dark's eye's closed as his hair tie came undone, his blond waves flowing behind him like a halo of light.

"Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!"

Dark took of the mike and kicked the stand away from the stage making the crowd scream as he pushed his back away from Matt.

"With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you"

Dark scanned the crowd and smirked as he watched his power take hold of all he saw....and then he saw L

"With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives"

The Bastard didn't smile, didn't move to the music, didn't have any sort of gleam in his eyes, he wasn't even fucking looking at the stage!

"lever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives"

He narrowed his eyes in anger. how Dare he still be uninterested in his glorious music! HE who was beautiful, HE who was captivating, HE who could make both genders swoon with a mere smirk or a bat of an eye, HE with all his charm and eloquent conversation!!

"alright guys, LETS GET THIS PLACE ROCKIN'!!" he growled into the microphone making both the audience scream and jump.

Dark leaned close to Matt and whispered "change of plans, were doing I am now"

"what?! but you haven't finished the lyrics yet!" Matt hissed at him

Dark smirked, "so I'll improvise"

Matt sighed and made the hand motion for song change leaving Hikaru and mello puzzled, but compliant.

The guitar ripped into a power cord as the bass strummed rythmically. The symbols and drums being pounded on as Dark threw off his long coat and took of his shades, his peircing red eyes looming over the crowd.

He and placed the mic on the stand as he took a deep breath and pressed his mouth to the mic.

"I see no, hear no evil
Black writing's on the wall
Unleashed a million faces
And one-by-one they fall

Black-hearted evil, or
Brave-hearted hero
I am all, I am all, I am"

He sneered at the audience, letting his anger show with a benevolent gaze.

"I... I... I... I am
Here we go, buddy, here we go, buddy
Here we go, here we go, buddy, here we go

Go ahead and try to see through me
Do it if you dare
One step forward, two steps back, I'm here
One step forward, two steps back"

he smiled wickedly as he stared directly at L.

"Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery
Step inside, and hold on for dear life"

That bastard still wasn't paying att-AH!, no. NOW he was staring at him intently.

"Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free
I am all, and I am all of me
I am, I am all of me

I am, I am, I'm all of me
I am, I am, I'm all of me
I am, I am, I'm all of me
Here we go"

his gaze was piercing. Dark almost shivered from the intensity of it....there was something almost meaningful in that stare.

"I see and feel the evil
My hands will crush 'em all
You think you have the answers
I'll laugh and watch you fall

Black-hearted evil, or
Brave-hearted hero
I am all, I am all, I am"

He....almost looked......

"I... I... I... I am
Here we go, buddy, here we go, buddy
Here we go, here we go, buddy, here we go

Go ahead and try to see through me
Do it if you dare
One step forward, two steps back, I'm here
One step forward, two steps back"

Afraid?

"Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery
Step inside, and hold on for dear life"

No, not afraid. but something defiantly close to fear

"Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free
I am all, and I am all of me
I am, I am all of me

I am, I am, I'm all of me
I am, I am, I'm all of me
I am, I am, I'm all of me
Here we go"

What was he afraid of? and why does he place that look on him? Is he the one making him show this emotion?

"I am, I am everyone, everywhere
Anyhow, anyway, any will, anyday
I am, I am everyone, everywhere
Anyhow, anyway, any will, anyday

I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am"

He watched L's eyes slowly widen as he sang. his porcelain skin turn a more ghostly shade of white....and..is he...

"Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!"

shaking? is he actually afraid now? and of what?

"Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery
Step inside, and hold on for dear life"

is it the song? are the lyrics affecting him this way?....he should finish the song. quickly.

"Do you remember me?
Capture you I am, I'm all of me
I am, I am, I'm all of me
I am, I am, I'm all of me
Here we go
I am, I am, I'm all of me
Here we go"

he had no idea why, but the sight of the A1 so shaken worried him. made him upset and uneasy.

"I am, I am all of meor set you free
I am all, and I am all of me
I am, I am all of me"

Dark finished the song and immediately picked up his stuff, jumped off the set and raced toward L with a panicked expression.

Dark grabbed the shaking A1 by the shoulders and looked at him face to face.

"L! What's wrong?!"

L snapped his wide owl eyes to Dark and mumbled something incoherently before he kicked Dark square in the chest making him fly backwards into the music stands behind him.

He groaned as he heard his friends come towards him. He looked at the doorway and saw L run.

the last thing Dark saw before he blacked out.

DA-well that took forever, but I've gotten so many reviews demanding I finish the next chappy (swells with happiness at her fans) so I figured. may as well give them what they want right?

you know I wouldn't mind getting any fanart for this fic. kinda curious as to what you guys think Dark, Miheal, Mail, Nate, Cassandra, and their Shadowed Selves look like ^-^

and I'll put them up on the next chapter as well up in my profile (and I'll show them off to everybody I know in RL as well as Gaiaonline)

btw (1)Murphy's laws are as follows:

1. Nothing is as easy as it looks.

2. Everything takes longer than you think.

3. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

4. If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.

5. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

6. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

7. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.

till next time, DA! OUT!
