Well this one was fun. Enjoy and review everybody.

Death Note, I don't own you. You are free to go. (sob)

Oh, you too Twilight. What are you doing still hanging around here?

OOOooooooOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOooooOOOOO

Back at school a half hour later, Light was feeling much calmer. He just needed some nourishment, that was all. He'd forgotten to take care of himself properly, what with all the excitement of late.

When school ended, he was glad to see Misa was nowhere in sight.

But he did see Ryuuzaki, waiting right by his car.

"I need to talk to you." The boy said, his expression blank.

Light couldn't even read his face, never mind his thoughts.

At least I'm not about to attack him now. The blood from the hospital had really helped, though the urge was still there, burning just under the surface, he could function.

"What is it Ryuuzaki?"

"I believe Light would much prefer that we talk privately."

"Uh-well where do you want to go?"

"The woods look very nice around here."

"You're asking me to go into the woods with you." Light stated disbelievingly. "Alone."

"Is that a problem?"

"Well no, it's just an odd thing to ask someone to do after just meeting them."

"Is it?" L asked distractedly, but he'd already started walking, kicking off his shoes as he went.

Light found he couldn't help but follow.

L kept walking and walking, quite confidently, as if he knew where he was going. But he stopped seemingly randomly. "This looks like a good spot."

"A good spot to what Ryuuzaki?"

"To stop."

"This is all just nonsense isn't it." Light said, exasperated.

"Perhaps." L admitted. "But perhaps not." He turned to look at the other boy for the first time they had started this little journey.

"I know what you are."

Light stiffened, his eyes narrowing. This really wasn't going to happen twice in two days was it?

"You are a vampire."

It was! Now Light was pissed. "Yeah, okay, congratulations. But I want you to know Misa figured it out before you so don't start feeling all clever." This was a bad day. He was going to take it out on criminals when he got home. As Mikami would say, 'sakujo bitch.'

L looked surprised. "Really? "

Light was getting slightly hysterical. "So now I get to hear what you plan to do with this information. Are you blackmailing me? You want somebody offed? Someone to do your homework? Money? My car? Sex? Misa? I'm willing to give two out of those six things, and if you guess wrong I'm just killing you. So think carefully."

"There is no need to get testy with me Light. Speaking of tests, you've passed already."

A look of confusion replaced Light's stormy expression. "I what?"

"You realize where we are no one can hear us, and no one saw us come back here. If you were going to kill me, this would have been the perfect opportunity for you. But you haven't tried to kill me, even when I accused you, so I know now you are not one of the vampires that has been hunting lately."

Now Light was intrigued. "There have been vampire killings? How many?"

"Three victims so far, each one increasingly close to this area. They seem more like wandering vampires, and that alone made me fairly certain you were innocent, but I couldn't be sure."

"So you just came back here, hoping I wouldn't kill you. That seems like a stupid investigation method to me Ryuuzaki." Light spat.

"I believe that I would be able to defend myself if you tried. Also, after meeting you, I felt you were incapable of such a thing."

Light snarled and lunged at the raven haired boy, pinning him roughly against a tree.

"You're a fool then Ryuuzaki. Apparently you know nothing about what I am capable of. You think you could outrun me? Fight me off? I could tear you to pieces easily."

He tightened his grip slightly on slender wrists, until he detected a barely perceptible wince from the dark eyed teen. "Are you afraid now?" Light asked quietly, dangerously.

L's voice was unwavering. "I am not afraid of you Light." He then twisted free, grabbed Light's wrists, and slammed the auburn haired vampire against the same tree. "But that does not mean I will allow myself to be manhandled. And by incapable, I meant you do not seem like the type that would do such a thing."

"Get your hands off me." Light said angrily. How was he in this position? Had he been distracted again?

"You started this vampire, so do not act so offended. One for one."

"Is that so?" Light growled, yanking one hand free and grabbing for the front of Ryuuzaki's shirt.

Now he really was distracted. They were far too close, and those owlish eyes were completely focused on him.

I just had blood! Light thought in a panic. What was WRONG WITH HIM?

"Ryuuzaki," he gasped. "I…you…"

At that very moment, a panting figure burst through the trees, sending birds and small forest creatures running for cover.

"MISA FOUND YOU!!" The girl shouted triumphantly. "Ryuuzaki what are you doing? Don't pick on Light, he's sensitive."

They both turned to stare openmouthed at the out of breath blonde. Light recovered first.

"Whatever happened to 'no one can hear us' hmmm? He glared accusingly at the other boy, who had jumped away from him.

"Misa has a tracker on you Light!" She waved around a walkie talkie. "I put it in your pocket. It transmits to this!" She looked at Light as if she expected he would be proud of her for such an action.

"Well I must admit I didn't account for that," L said wonderingly.

Light immediately dug through his pants pockets for the chip. He smashed it against the tree.

"Misa what the fuck! Do you know how scary you are sometimes?!" He shouted.

"You mean scary in a sexy kind of way right Light?" Misa sauntered over.

"I mean scary in a stalker creepy sort of way Misa! I have a right to my privacy!"

"Aw don't be mad Light. It's not like I'm interrupting anything. Besides, Misa brought a picnic! We can eat it in the meadow." She cheerfully waved around a large picnic basket.

She had carried that thing more than a mile into the woods, over rough terrain, while wearing heels. There is something to be said for the determination of a woman in love.

"I don't eat remember?" Light said testily.

"I know that silly! But there was this possum, and it got run over right in front of me so I know it just died. And Misa took some blood from that!" Misa held up a plastic waterbottle that was sloshing with liquid. "It's still warm Light!"

Light was speechless.

"Did you bring desert?' L asked, looking hopeful.

"Of course. Brownies and chocolate chip cookies."

"Well then what are we waiting for? Off to the meadow." He gallantly took Misa's arm and they started off. "Come along Light."

Light clenched his fists, glaring at their retreating backs.

"These two are going to be the second death of me." He mumbled grouchily, but followed along.

OooooOOOOooooOOOoooOOOOooooOOOOOOooooOOOOOoooOOO

To Light's dismay, it was rather sunny in the clearing of the meadow. He quickly sat in the shade, planting himself.

Misa was setting up the blanket and food in the sun.

"Liiiight! Don't sit in the shade. We hardly ever get to see the sun in Forks. It's so nice."

"I'm happy right here thank you Misa." Light said firmly.

"It's because he sparkles in the sun." L said offhandedly.

Misa was delighted. "Oh Light that's amazing! You have to show me now. Please?"

"Yes Light show us." L agreed. He was more than a bit amused by Light's discomfort.

"No. It's stupid."

"PleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE LIGHT!" Misa demanded.

"Ugh, okay! Just because you're making such a big deal out of it." Light stood and walked reluctantly into the sunlight.

It touched his face, and his skin sparkled like a diamond. He glared at Misa. "Okay? You see?"

Misa was breathlessly amazed. "Wow. You're sparklier than my vanilla kiss lipgloss. Does the rest of you sparkle?"

"Yes, I don't think we're really getting the full effect of this Light." L said seriously.

Light glared at him in disbelief. "You're not serious."

"Take it off!" Misa squealed. "Come on Light just take your shirt off for a minute."

They're never going to stop are they, Light thought mournfully. He began to unbutton his shirt, wanting to get this over with.

He let it hang open, refusing to look at either one of them. Sparkling was not very manly or intimidating. It was just embarrassing.

"Light you are so beautiful." Misa said, in awe. "Your skin is like snow, so white and sparkly!"

"Except his nipples are sort of pink and sparkly." L commented.

Light turned whirled around immediately, quickly buttoning up again. He was completely mortified. The indignity of this was unbelievable...

"Let's eat!" Said Misa.

OoooooOOOOOooooOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOo

After the picnic, Light stretched out on the grass, staring up at the sky. Today had been one of the weirdest days of his life. But it hadn't been boring at least. He hated boredom more than anger, fear or sadness.

Misa stretched out beside him, looking at the sky as well.

L sat watching them. "Are you two going to just lay there?"

"This is as far as it's going you perve." Light snapped.

"Aw come on Light," Misa gave him her best seductive gaze. "How about a kiss?"

"Misa, I just drank the blood of a roadkilled possum."

He couldn't believe he'd really done that, but otherwise he might be pouncing Ryuuzaki.

"Misa doesn't care." She said sincerely.

"We should head back now anyway," L said. "The sun is going to set in approximately twenty one minutes."

"Yes, that means the game of 'strip the sparkling vampire is over' Light mumbled."

"You were a good sport about it Light," L said kindly.

They navigated the woods together, making it back to civilization just as darkness was falling.

Light offered to give them a ride back to their houses. Misa hopped in front, while L perched in back.

"Get your filthy feet off my leather seats immediately." Light growled.

L felt he should comply.

He dropped Misa off first, giving her a peck on the cheek. 'Possum.' He said simply. Misa waved her wild goodnights to them both, and pranced into the house.

L got out of the car. "I can walk from here. It's not terribly far."

"You don't have to do that," Light insisted. "Hop in front. Where's your house?"

"By the beach," L replied, getting in the front seat.

Light began to drive to the beach.

"There was something else I wanted to tell you today Light, before Misa showed up."

"You can tell me now."

L debated one final time the pros and cons of his planned admission. He decided it was worth it.

"Well Light, I am L."

The car swerved suddenly before Light got under control. This was L? The detective looking for Kira? REALLY?

"I've heard of you." Light said, keeping his voice steady. "You are a great detective."

"I don't need flattery Light."

"I mean…I'm honored but…why did you tell me who you were?"

"Because of the vampire killings. I am searching for the killers, and as a vampire yourself I think you can help me bring them down. If you are willing."

Light felt relieved. That was perfectly plausible.

"I'll help you L…just... I should tell you something." He took a deep breath, not really necessary, but it calmed him anyways. "For reasons unknown your blood is extremely tempting to me. In working with me you would be…putting yourself at risk."

"The warning is appreciated Light," L said. "But I am really not concerned. My house is this one."

"This?" Light asked incredulously. "This is enormous."

"My profession is not without its perks, though the challenge of the chase is my ultimate motivation."

L stepped lightly out of the car.

"I will see you tomorrow. We will find the time to discuss the case in detail then."

"Certainly."

L paused. "Oh, and just out of curiosity, what was the second thing?"

Light looked at him blankly. "The second thing of what?"

"That you were willing to give. I know Misa was the first."

"Misa's all right," Light said noncommittally.

"So what was the second?"

"Why are you so interested?"

"I am curious by nature."

Light squirmed uncomfortably. "I don't even remember what I said."

"You said you could 'off' someone, do my homework, give me money, your car, se-"

"Okay okay I remember now!" Light said hastily. "It was the homework of course."

"Of course."

OOoooooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOooooOOOOooooOOOooooOOOO

L nodded goodnight as Light drove off, then greeted Watari at the door.

"Good evening Ryuuzaki. Who was the boy?"

L considered this thoughtfully. "He is many things Watari. But I think he is, at this time, a friend."

OOOooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooOOOO

Days went by, and L and Light were unable to make much headway in the vampire case. All they had to go on were the bodies, and the only clues that they gave was that at least one of the vampires was particularly violent. The victims were covered with unnecessary slashes, it could have been to make the crime look more like an animal attack, but L felt it was more.

Light still found it hard to be around him, but he realized it was worse when they were apart. L was like something he craved, and needed, or he would go into withdrawal.

Light got in the habit of checking in on L every night, watching from the window. Only because he's looking for Kira. He insisted silently. I need to keep an eye on him. Unfortunately, all the boy ever did was sit at the computer and eat, never resting.

Aren't I supposed to be the one that never sleeps? Light thought, frustrated.

But one night, L turned the light out.

Was he finally going to sleep?

He watched as L took off his shirt and jeans, stripping down to boxers. He watched him crawl under the covers and curl up.

Good lord he really had watched hadn't he?

Light pressed himself against the siding of the house feeling very disturbed.

I'm just as bad as Mikami…just as bad as …(dare he think it?)…Misa! I'm worse! I'm the worst stalker of them all!

No Light. He quickly told himself. You are merely being smart, wanting to have such an intimate knowledge of your enemy.

Talking to the thoughts in your head could be so comforting. He was reassured enough to enter the room when L appeared to be asleep.

Now all he had to do was be very quiet, very stealthy, and he could just watch. The plan was flawless. He was a master of stealth. If he didn't want to be seen, then nobody was going to see him. He could just stand there all night and never be-

"Light kun." L said, sitting up. "What are you doing in my bedroom."

Damn! Light tried to come up with a feasible reason, but there really weren't any. So he unfortunately had to go with the truth. Well I guess it is good practice to try that every once in a while.

"I, well I uh, I wanted to watch you sleep. I find it fascinating."

L was silent, seemingly considering this.

"You find it fascinating because you are a vampire, and therefore do not sleep or dream as I would do."

"Exactly." Light was relieved L was so understanding.

L's thumb went to his lips as he thought another moment.

"So you chose me, a person who rarely ever sleeps, as the specimen to observe for this activity. I can assume you must have waited quite a long time to carry out your plan, because I often go days without sleeping."

Light coughed nervously. "Ah well, I suppose I just got lucky then."

"Mm. I suppose."

L had thrown the covers off, to hug his knees, and Light just couldn't look away. It was just too much vulnerable skin! It was so damn tempting. His scent was delicious…so perfectly tantalizing.

He was panting. What the hell? He didn't even have functioning lungs!

"Well…L." That rhymes, Light thought distractedly. His brain was going in so many different directions he didn't even know what he was doing anymore. "…Since I'm here and all, do you think you could let me, ahem," was he really going to say this? Words were coming out of his mouth unbidden!... smell your neck? I just want to smell the blood. I swear I won't bite you. Maybe it will satisfy me enough to be free of this embarrassing obsession." Now that's not even logical, and you know it, his thoughts were speaking to him. Shut up thoughts.

L was silent. Light really wished he could read his mind.

Finally, he spoke.

"Alright Light."

That rhymes, Light thought distractedly. If his brain was buzzing before it was…super buzzing now.

Super buzzing? He'd gone retarded!

But that didn't matter, because L said yes and L was sitting on the bed and waiting for whatever Light was going to do.

Light let instincts take over.

In a second, he was straddling the warm body, leaning in close to L's vulnerable throat. L appeared outwardly calm, but Light could hear his heartbeat thundering in his chest, could feel his breathing quicken.

Is he afraid now?

He looked into the boy's eyes, saw that they were very dark and heavy lidded, he saw no fear in them.

Light bent to pulse of L's neck, and settled his lips over it. He let his fangs graze the sensitive skin, and felt the boy gasp, his chest heaving. Light began to gently suck.

Just doing this with L was more pleasurable than Light could have imagined. He realized he was grinding his hips against the other boy and moaned helplessly. It's so good…

Then L just had to talk.

"Judging from Light's behavior, I must conclude that he wants not only my blood, but my body as well."

Light snapped out of it, sitting up. "What?! No! This isn't gay. This is…religious imagery."

"Oh? Do tell."

Light thought wildly. Then he got it. "Well, there you are, in your underwear, representing mankind and its helplessness. And here I am, on top of you, representing god and his power over all of our lives."

Brilliant. A perfect allegory.

"Light."

"Yes?"

"You have a very, very messed up view of religion."

To Light's utter shock, L suddenly grabbed him by the shoulders and yanked him down beside him, then captured his mouth in a kiss.

He is strong. Light realized quickly, but then all analysis stopped as his senses were taken over by L. He could perfectly detect every pant and moan, he could feel and taste him

Not in the way he had been imagining, but this sweet mouth was certainly amazing.

L's pale fingers tangled in copper hair, and he hooked a slender leg around the vampire, pulling them flush against each other. Oh god…

Light stroked L's face with trembling fingers.

L slid his hand under Light's shirt, discovering the muscles of the boy's torso. He found Light's hip bone moving under the skin, and traced it lightly in slow circles before moving to the button of his pants…

Light hurriedly leaped back, throwing himself against the wall of L's room.

Stop! He told himself. Stop stop stop. He had to get a handle on himself.

"I-I can't it's too much! If we continue like this, I'll kill you."

"Well that is a kinky habit." L said, smiling slightly.

"Don't joke! I could easily kill you accidently in the… throes of passion." Light clenched his fists. Did he really have to explain this?

"Well you don't have to worry because I am going to be on top."

"WHAT?! No! And it could easily happen anyways! I'm just too strong."

" I am not so fragile Light. I assure you I can handle it."

"No, no no, I have to go!" Light shook his head vehemently. "Sayu has started cross dressing and we're all extremely confused! I must go!"

"Pardon?"

But Light was already gone, out the window and running into the night.

OOoooooOOOOOooooOOOOOOooooOOOOoooOOOooooOOOoo

What did you guys think? Anybody know who one of the vampires L and Light are looking for is? Tell me…in a REVIEW! Haha.

P.S- The religious imagery joke was an idea I got from the debate about the L and Light footwashing scene. Honestly people, do you think LxLight sat there and thought, 'let's act out a scene from the bible.?' No. That is not what they were thinking. I assure you.
