A/N- wrathofnerds: I made the part where Lamia cannot see her 'true name' because I figured it would make this fanfiction more interesting. Also, Lamia is based off of a demon in Greek mythology; it's said to prey on human beings and suck the blood out of them.

Chapter 27

Turns out that I came in second place in the entrance exams. L and Light tied in first place, so they both had to give a representative's speech. Beyond came in third place. L had told us that he wasn't surprised that the three of us scored in the top three of the class.

So, Beyond and I was sitting in the front row of the crowded school filled of new students. I watched as Light and L walked up to the stage. I felt that eerie presence once again, and I looked past Light. I could have swore I seen a strand of his hair wisp in a breeze that was not present, and it would be hardly noticeable unless you were watching closely.

There must be something that follows him around. I wonder if it's a ghost, or something else... I nearly jumped out of my seat whenever I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"Shh, calm down Lamia-chan. It's just me." Beyond said and I stared at him.

"What is it? Sorry, I was zoned out so I wasn't aware of my surroundings." I apologized to him.

"Every time that," Beyond frowned and gulped, "Light Yagami comes around, do you get that feeling that he's not alone?" I stifled a snort of laughter at Beyond's face as he said the name Light Yagami. Clearly, he doesn't like him at all and I knew he had to control his bloodlust among all of these people.

"Yes, I do. I thought nothing of it before, but now that another person feels it, we should check it out later." I said with a serious look.

I crossed my legs and watched L speak. He held his paper in his own special way; using two fingers on each hand. Nearby I heard someone saying that Hideki doesn't look anything like the actor. Then they said that Light and Hideki looked like complete opposites. Well, now that they mention it, they do.

Light looks like he's a spoiled rich brat while L looks more...how do I put this? Not as spoiled, rich, and groomed for success his whole life.

"Ah~ Look how handsome Light-kun is!" Some crazy fangirl behind me wailed.

"I still think the guy next to him is cuter!" The girl next to her said.

I sweat-dropped, and my eyebrows twitched in annoyance as I heard whispering among the crowd of students behind Beyond and I. They kept talking about which one of the two they liked better, especially the girls. I was so close to snapping at them and stabbing each and every one of them in the throat to make them shut the hell up.

"Hey, you like Hideki Ryuga, right?"

I twitched in anger, about to explode.

"Uh-huh!"

"Well check out his twin brother up there. They look just alike, except his eyes are red and his hair isn't as messy. But I think he just wears contacts."

"Isn't his name Belphegor?"

"Yeah. I heard that Lamia-san came to school with them."

"What?! No way! I wish she would go die in a hole so I can have them all to myself."

I started to turn my head backwards to look at them. Beyond must have felt my irritation sparking off of me, because he petted my hair.

"I do too, but she is Misa-Misa's sister, which explains why she is so pretty."

"And she's really smart too. As well as quiet. No wonder guys like her so much."

I sighed in relief once they started saying good things about me. Wait, they said guys like me. What guys? Am I being obsessed over like Misa is?! My anger sparked up again, but then L took his seat next to me, which made me behave. There is no point in attacking someone here in front of many, many people anyways. No matter how skilled I am at taking on several people, I don't think I would be able to escape this crowd.

I whispered to L. "Even people like you, Ryuga."

L blinked at me and shrugged, clearly not caring. Light sat down on the other side of L; much to my annoyance.

"I need to tell you something but I'm not sure I can trust you. You might tell someone." I heard L say to Light.

"It's okay, your secret is safe with me." Light replied.

"I am L." I looked over at L quickly, glaring at him.

Why would you tell Kira that you are L? Eh, if you did, you must be confident that you will win the Kira case. Which I have no doubt in my mind that you will.

"I believe you." Light told L.

They talked a bit more until the ceremony was over. When we were walking through the courtyard, the two talked once again, but this time it was about tennis.

"We've got to see this, Belphegor." I whispered to Beyond and he smirked while nodding his head.

Then Light stopped walking and turned around. L introduced us. "Lamia-chan is my good friend, and I'm sure you already know her."

Light nodded. I had to act nice in from of L, so I put on a fake smile and shake his hand quickly. "Nice to meet you, again, Light Yagami." I said happily to him and then stepped back.

"And this is my twin brother Belphegor." L said and gestured to Beyond. Beyond didn't smile at all but just gave Light a half-assed wave.

"Now, Light, I'm going to warn you now that I was on the British Championship tennis team. So I'm pretty good." L said to the teen confidently.

"I'm pretty good as well, Hideki."

Then the match began not long after that. Beyond and I sat down under a tree to get out of the sunlight. I usually find things like sports boring because there is usually no one getting killed, but I found the match between Light and L amusing. Except for whenever that girl came along.

"Don't you see that? Hideki Ryuga is holding his own against Light!"

I swear, if that annoying bitch comes over here and aggravates Beyond...

Sure enough, she left her friends and came over to where Beyond and I was sitting. She looked nervous as she spoke.

"Uhm, hello. Are you Belphegor Ryuga?" She asked BB.

Beyond looked up at her and nodded. I felt adrenaline rush through my veins.

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you," then she looked back at her friends who were waving her over. "I better go now. Sorry to bother you Belphegor-san."

Anger flew off of me in sparks. She didn't even notice me sitting here! A low growl rumbled in my throat like an angry cat. Beyond looked at me with a playful smirk.

"What's wrong Lamia-chan~?" He asked me in a teasing tone. I felt my face heat up and I looked the other way. "Are you jealous?"

"Why would I be?" I snapped at him, then realized that was his plan all along because of the look on his face.

"Lamia-chan is jealous~" He teased me.

Beyond chuckled a bit and stood. He held out a pale hand to me, but I didn't take it. I stood up on my own and dusted off my skirt quickly. Then I walked up to Beyond. I shoved him, not meaning to hurt him, but he didn't expect it and he fell backwards. The thing is, he grabbed my arm and drug me down with him.

I think that from everyone's view of the position I was in right now would be wrong. My body was on top of Beyond's, and our foreheads was pressed against one another. I don't know if Beyond did this intentionally, or if it was just an accident. But whenever I heard a few people laughing I looked up to see Light and L standing near us.

"I knew that this would happen. Every time I see one of them, the other is always with them." Light said with a grin to L, who nodded in agreement.

I glared at Light a moment, then laid my head on Beyond's chest. I don't care what others may think at the moment, because Beyond is comfortable.

"I might not know much about love, but I honestly think you two are in love with each other." L told us.

"What?!" Beyond and I both yelled in unison.

I jumped off of B, and he also stood up.

Light and L exchanged a glance, then looked back at the two of us. "You know, Lamia-chan, you act like a tsundere around Belphegor."

"But-" L cut me off.

"See, you're acting like one right now."

Light placed a hand under his chin and looked at me. "Admit it. You like each other."

"Who the hell do you think you are, thinking you know everything about someone?" I bellowed at him.

"I am Light Yagami," he said with a smirk.

My right hand went to my thigh-holster on instinct. Usually if someone had annoyed me this long they'd be dead. But, I felt someone poke my arm. I looked around me. It wasn't Light, L, or Beyond that did it. I immediately knew who or what it was whenever I looked past Light's head though.

It's a shinigami! My hand dropped back down to my side and my one eye widened. I was spooked, but I didn't feel like screaming. So this is what that eerie feeling was all along...

I watched the shinigami smirk whenever Light stared at me with a confused look. That god of death must know how Kira over there kills. I wonder if I can get away from L later and see if I can talk to him. He looks somewhat trustworthy.

A/N- I'll explain how Lamia can now see Ryuk: Ryuk was bored, and he knows that Lamia has the eyes of a shinigami, so he decided to poke her so that she could see him. He is mischevious, after all.
