DA- yea sorry bout yesterday's chappy. it was originally longer and actually had the first bit of this chappy in it but-

Dark- the computer froze on her and left her with what she had saved previously and she got frustrated as she had to leave for work soon so-

Dark-it had been far too long since she had made a chapter to ANYTHING as of late...hey do you think it is weird that we're-

DA-finishing sentances? yea a little

Dark-huh. I guess great minds-

DA-and great bodies ^_-

Confused as to what L was talking about he tried to give a response, but a comfy cloud was hovering over him and he drifted to sleep.

When he awoke he felt drowsy still and weak, probably from the medicene Cassandra was talking about. but he didn't want to fall asleep without knowing what happened, and what on earth L was sorry about.

That's right! where is Dark's note?

He tried to sit up but was only pushed back gently on the fluffy pillows underneath.

"It would not be wise for Raito-kun to move right now, if you need anything just ask and I'll get it for you"

What is he still doing here? I know I fell back asleep so classes must have started awhile ago

"The headmaster and I agreed that it would not be wise for me to go to class today for fear of a relapse. so I am taking care of you for the time being."

"what happened last night?" he asked in a weak raspy voice. he opened his good eye and saw L walking over to him with a glass of water and some pills.

".....it was my fault"

"what was?"

L lifted Raito's head and helped him drink his water with his pills before answering.

"I had went to see one of Dark-kun's shows, and in his last song..it was a clear challenge to me and yet. it stirred the monster inside of me..."

he laid Raito down and though his expression was stoic Raito couldn't help feel an air of anger and sadness emanating from the raven A1

"I could feel him coming to the surface, and I panicked. I tried burying him but was unsuccessful. Dark-kun came over to me, he asked me what was wrong...I told him that 'he is coming' but he didn't understand. he wouldn't let me go. so I made him"

Raito said nothing as he watched L clench his hands. his face still showing no emotion except for a simple biting of the lip.

"I had kicked him away from me...with my full strength...I think I heard him crash into something but I couldn't afford to stay. with all those people in the music room it would've been sheer chaos and blood if I had stayed."

Raito moved his head on the pillow to better look at him

"I understand, go on"

L looked at him. his Owl like eyes gazing at him intently.

"I don't think you do....I ran until I came to our room and locked the room with a special lock I found that could only be opened with a special key card. one that I had found not in the room at the moment. and then I...Switched"

Raito's eyes widened with realization.

That's why he's blaming himself, he changed and he must've done something....maybe he's the one who did this to me

"I don't recall what went on while I was Beyond Birthday...that is the name he gave himself. because he was Born and yet had no birthdate, BB he prefers. all I know was that when I had awakened I was in a pool of my own blood, my arm was cut repeatedly and you were still in Dark's clothes unconscious and bleeding from a head wound. your wig was thrown off to the other side of the room, and your mouth was dripping blood....I think that was when I went into shock"

"....what happened to your arm?"

L looked at him in astonishment. clearly this was not the reaction he had expected, he simply raised his sleeve and showed his bandage arm before lowering it again.

"your friends had gotten the Headmaster's spare key-card and opened the door to you still in a bloody mess. and me cowering in the corner mumbling me myself. they got you proper first aid and medical treatment....while questioning me on what had occurred to both you and myself in a locked room"

He watched as L traced his lip with his thumb.

"I didn't know what to tell them...I am like you in that regard Raito-kun. I do not remember what happens when I am Switched...which is what terrifies me so..but that is another tale. and you are tired."

Raito didn't need to voice the agreement, he was barely keeping awake.

"sleep Raito-kun. and fear not, if I feel BB coming I'll leave you"

Dark awoke feeling drowsy and a bit light-headed. he used his hand and traced his bandage with his finger and hm'd

"you won't scar Dark-kun, but I'm afraid that your wig is ruined. I bought you a new one and it should be arriving in a few days"

Dark shot up in the bed and stared at L and then sighed with relief.

"you called me 'kun'...its you. you know your Other really gave me quite a fright last night....but I do believe that it was you that kicked me into that pile of metal music stands"

his playful smile flew from his face as he saw the dark haired A1 lower his head in shame. his eyes hidden behind his messy hair.

"....you know I don't hate you or anything right? you ARE an A1 after all. your Other was bound to be unsta-"

"your fault"

Dark stood up slowly and frowned, his eye narrowing in anger

"excuse me?...forgive me but I thought I heard you accuse me of your almost giving me a concussion and of your mutilation and-"

"if you hadn't sang out that challenge to me then BB wouldn't have stirred inside his chained cage"

Dark clenched his teeth, not beleiving what he was hearing

"well if YOU hadn't stopped by and listened to it then you wouldn't have flipped your fucking top"

"I wouldn't have come if you hadn't told me to come"

"why did you come?!"

"why did you ask?"

Dark's mouth gaped like a fish before he growled in frustration and stumbled over to his mirror, opening the Victorian styled drawers, trying to hide his blushing face.

"what are you doing?"

"what the fuck does it look like?!" he spat as he took out some clothes

".....you are not to leave until you are fully healed"

Dark scoffed, still facing the mirror as he dressed himself.

"and who's gonna stop me eh? I have my public to think of! if I don't perform tonight then they will think that I am not as invisible as I spout to be! that I am simply Human!"

"and this is a bad thing? being human?"

"YES!!!!"

Dark clenched his now gloved fists as he broke his mirror, glass shards in the fabric of his gloves.

"...I hate it...I hate it with all my being...everything was so much simpler when I could simply Shadow...everybody was happier when I was just a mere Kage to my Hikari. you have no idea what it's like. your a Light not a Shadow. in that regard I have Empathy for BB, no matter how twisted he is. I understand the pain"

he turned around after carefully removing the shards from his leather gloves leaving small rips and tears in the fabric.

he put on his long coat and walked out the door, without once looking at L.

"YES"

"NO"

"WHY NOT?!"

"CUZ HE'S SUPPOSED TA BE RESTIN'!!"

"DON'T MEAN WE CAN'T SAY HI"

"Mello, I agree with Hikaru. we should wait until tomorrow night at least befo-"

"SHUT UP YOU ALBINO FREAK!"

"DON' CALL HIM A FREAK YA DUMBASS!"

"MAKE ME!"

"I take it you are all talking about me?"

the table stopped their arguments and turned with happy faces (well as happy as a pissed off Mello and a stoic Near can be...Matt smirks and grins so he gets an ok) towards Dark's voice and let loose a collective gasp.

Dark still had on the bandages wrapped around his head and the cover over his right eye. making it look as if he has a white circlet with a eye patch.

".....y...you..." Mello started to say, but was too stunned to actually form words.

"your a short haired brunette?" hikaru said wondrously

"OF COURSE HE IS YOU IDIOT! I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT IT WAS A WIG!"

"alright already, give him some air. he still is RECOVER KADABRA! NO! YOU SLOW FUCKTARD WHY DID YOU DO THAT! OH YOU ARE SO DEAD CHARIZARD!!!""

Near gave Dark a simple nod before going back to building a model of some sorts, probably another gundum.

"alright, now that I am fit enough to be going out and about how about we discuss what songs to use for the night portion of the Parents Day Festival Palooza?"

Mello growled, sitting back down and sipped his chocolate milk from a straw.

"why the hell do we hafta anyway. not like they freakin' care, only reason they come is out of obligation or to save face"

Hikaru's face saddened

"ya but....what if..."

"she won't come...she never does Karu. just face the facts, sorry but its true" Matt said not looking up from his GameBoy Color.

Dark tapped the table to gain everyones attention

"we will do this because It will be a disappointment to our fans if we don't, and you never know if somebodies mommy or daddy is in the record business"

He smirked as he played with Raito's brown bangs. not quite like curling his blonde locks between his fingers, but he respected Raito's wish to not change his appearance. but he thought he was intitalled to some form of individuality no matter how faint it is.

Mello sighed as he placed his arms behind his head, leaning back in his chair. the straw still in his mouth.

"well then what songs are we gonna do? they had better be good"

"Indeed," Dark chuckled as he fixed a tangle.

they all looked at him waiting for another Dark Deed.

"I say the first song shall be made by way of a contest, the other will be a combination of my own words and yours"

Matt bit into a doughnut after pausing his game

"sounds cool, when should the deadline be?"

"how about in tomorrow?"

Dark smiled impishly as his eyes gleamed, making the others around him laugh.

Whenever Dark Deluganda had a plan there was usually fun to be had.

"bu' how will anyone be able ta find the motivation, inspiration, or creativity to write ah song in jus' one day?"

"I have an idea," Dark laughed.
