Dark winced in pain as he regained consciousness and felt nauseous at the instant sense of vertigo.

"hey, I think he's waking up" he hissed in pain at the throbbing in his head at the quick motion as a voice to his right spoke in releif.

"well be careful ya idiot! dun jostle him!" another voice to his left said.

he opened his eyes slowly and realized why he had vertigo, he was being carried by Hikaru and Matt. his arms over both of their shoulders, his feet dragging against the floor.

they gently laid back against a wall and held him so he didn't fall.

Dark held his head with his hand and groaned as he felt a gash above his right eyebrow

"oh no..."

his friends closed in on him, worried.

"what?! whats wrong!?"

"this isn't going to scar is it?"

they stood motionless before Hikaru started to laugh and Matt face-palmed.

".....I swear your vainity will be the death of all of us one day"

"will not. and its 'vanity' Matt. what happened? where is L?"

Matt scoffed in disgust as he helped pull Dark to his feet and steadied him.

"as soon as you went over to him, and I'll want the reason later, he kicked you into the stack of music stands and metal chairs. you got yourself cut pretty bad on one of the edges of the stands, and he didn't check to see if you were ok or NOTHING! he just booked right out of there with a furious Mello tailing him. The teachers calmed down the crowds and got them to all go to their rooms."

Dark's face paled a bit at the thought of the A1 being confronted with a pissed off Mello.

"take me to my room."

"Nuh way man, you're gunna go ta the Nurse's!" Hikaru shouted

"if you won't take me then I'll just walk there on my own"

Matt and Hikaru caught him as he stumbled, nearly falling down.

"why the hell do ya want to go to yer room? look I don' care HOW much ya care 'bout appearances YA NEED TO GET THA' LOOKED AT! FER ALL YA KNOW YOU MIGH' HAVE A CONCUSSION!"

Matt sighed and shifted his weight so that Dark was mostly on his back.

"uh Matty? what the hell?"

she turned and looked at Matt as she shuffled towards Dark and Raito's room.

"listen Karu, he's gunna go wether we like it or not. and I'd rather he got there without hurting himself more."

Hikaru was about to argue but growled as she just messed her hair in frustration and helped him get Dark down to his room.

now his and L's room.

"OPEN THAT DOOR FUCKTARD! OR I'LL KICK IT IN AND THEN PUT IT UP YOUR ASS ALONG WITH MY FOOT!"

When they got to Dark's room they saw a red faced Mello kicked at the door.

"Mel wha' the hells are ya doin?" Hikaru asked as they stopped in front of the door.

he turned to her so fast they winced as they heard his neck crack. his blonde hair whipping his face. His face was red with rage.

"THAT ASSHOLE RAN INTO THE ROOM AND THEN BOLTED THE DOOR!"

"how do you know it was bolted?" Dark asked with a little slur.

he was feeling a little lightheaded now and the constant yelling and bangings of his blonde friend was causing his head to ache even more.

the blonde noticed the slur and leaned in to see his pale face. the blood caked on his wound.

"holy fuck man you look terrible!"

Dark chuckled weakly and repeated his question.

Mello scowled as he crossed his arms and unwrapped a chocolate bar and bite down feircly on it.

"because I already tried picking the lock thats why!!"

Dark groaned at the volume of his voice and stumbled out of Matt and Hikaru's hold on him.

he went up to the door and slipped a thin metal card into the ridges of the door and the hinges and the underneath.

unpon hearing a click he smiled and stood back up, a bit wobbly.

"wha?! How?! You?!"

he laughed at mello's frustration.

"I installed a electric lock after that stalker girl found her way into the school and tried hassling Raito. I don't use it much anymore excpt for emerganices, and only this metal card with special data encoded on the ridges can unlock it"

as he went to open the door he felt a hand on his shoulder holding him back, he turned his head slightly to see a somber looking Mello.

"don't. he's a fucking nutbar. you should just talk to Headmaster Watari and get him outta your room pronto."

Dark smiled, touched by friends but quickly shoved Mello's skinny frame into Matt and hikaru and ran into the room and locking it behind him.

Ignoring the bangings and yellings he walked further into the room until he heard a faint sound. it sounded almost like a child's play song.

he walked further, ignoring the poundings of his head, and found L with a razor and a big grin on his face. His right arm was dripping blood on the rug from slashes, from the razor he surmised. but even all of this hadn't unnerved Dark as much as when he looked at his face..above that gay smile...his eyes...were blood red.

"brother mine, brother red.
from my wrists you'll soon be fed.
for I cut the earth and found it still has not bled,
so my flesh I'll cut instead"

The singing stopped abruptly and L slowly turned to face him.

as soon as he saw Dark his grin grew broad and he licked the blood off of his arm.

"well now, you must be Dark. am I correct?"

Dark shivered again. even his voice was different, the soft velvety baritone was changed even deeper. but it had the quailty of a child almost.

'L' frowned and moved towards Dark with a concerned look on his face.

Dark almost flinched as 'L' reached out and touched his face with his bloody arm, almost tenderly.

"oh no, I am sorry about that. I do hope it won't scar your beautiful face. and I think i ruined the beautiful blonde locks of your wig"

he winced in pain as 'L' touched his wound and began to dig his fingers into the wound, causing it to bleed again.

'L' licked Dark's blood from his fingertips and smiled as he pushed Dark onto the bed.

Dark looked around, confused as to how they moved from the main room to the corner where the bed was.

"what should I call you?" Dark asked in a whisper

'L' smiled his broad smile, showing teeth as he laughed. his blood red eyes matching his arm and the bit smeared on his lips.

"Beyond Birthday is my name, but you may call me BB my brother"

Dark lifted himself off of the bed, tried to distance himself with BB. who pushed him back on the bed roughly, still smiling and still close.

"why do you say that? you are certainly no brother of mine"

The air became tense and if he wasn't so out of it he could of sworn that he would have heard something snap.

no sooner had the words came from his mouth his head was slammed into the wall behind him, BB's hand on his mouth and the other pulled off his wig and gripped his hair tightly.

"think your better then me do you? just because you can Switch whenever you please? because although its grudgingly, you have a sort of confused relationship with your Other? because when you Shadowed you weren't shunned and ignored. Loathed with every fiber from their being when all you've ever wanted was their happiness no matter how!?"

Dark looked at BB and saw the crazed look upon his face fade as soon as it came and felt himself pulled into a awkward embrace. BB stroking his hair while the other arm was wrapped around his waist.

"no, you also went through hardships didn't you? you were also shunned and hated weren't you? alright, I forgive your ignorance but just this once."

Dark began to taste blood as BB caressed his back and stroked Raito's finely kept hair. and while it was soothing, he couldn't help but feel fear of BB. and he began to understand L's hazardous ways of keeping himself from switching.

he coughed violently suddenly, blood trailing from his lips.

BB thrust Dark into the wall as he stood up.

"don't..ever...think of him...when I am the one out. understand? I am the one in control now, and I am going to keep it tha-"

BB suddenly grasped his chest, his blood red eyes wide in shock.

"n-no...not...after all this...damn you little Lawlie-URGH!"

he fell gasping to the floor, hand still clutched over his heart. he looked up at Dark with a sardonic smile.

"f-fear not b-brother mine...I'll be back"

with that BB's face fell onto the carpet leaving Dark confused and scared as he fell into sweet unconsciousness.

"-Irresponsible!" said a muffled voice.

Raito didn't understand why, but his head was dully throbbing and his throat was scratchy and sore.

he opened his eyes slowly to see Cassandra and Matt shouting at L while he just sat in a crumpled ball with his hands covering his face....if hadn't known any better he would've thought that he was crying.

he felt something cool and wet placed upon his brow and saw a worried Miheal. he had tears coming from his eyes and he was sniffling some as he noticed Raito's eyes were open.

"RAITO!!"

he then felt the light pressure of the blonde's petite fraom hugging him gently for fear of him. he winced a little and then noticed that he couldn't see properly, he gingerly felt his face and found his head wrapped with gauze and his right eye covered.

"Mih-COUGH COUGH!" he began to cough violently causing everyone except L to rush to his side. His eyes closed with the intensity of it.

he felt his head being tilted up and then something cool going down his throat, and he tried hard but he couldn't help cough up some of the water.

his breathing calmed down and he was laid back down onto his comforter.

"don't try to talk right now Raito. your throat was inflamed and the medication is just now taking effect" he knew from the voice it was Cassandra, Eloquent as always.

"Nate was sent to his room as we could barely contain Miheal here with his blubbering. but he wouldn't leave your side for a minute, cute kid." that was Mail, and it sounded like he was ruffling the blondes hair.

"well we'll leave you to heal yourself. don't worry we'll explain everything when you've rested up alright? now dont strain yourself."

he smiled as he heard his friends leave and frowned when he still heard the labored breathing of L. probably still in the corner.

he then heard the shuffling of feet and assumed he was going to leave the room. but didn't expect L to come close to him.

L held his hand and spoke in a soft sad voice.

"Raito-kun....I'm sorry"
