Chapter 4-

Hi guys I had a really good ideas for the initiation! It's going to be a long term thing spread over a few chapters meaning that I can use more than one idea! Ok, enjoy chapter 4 :)

Light turned to L, a worried expression spread across his usually stoic face. The trio had obviously intimidated him, and considering he was so tired as well it didn't help matters.

'The name's Mello. I hope you know who's going to be boss around here! This place runs under me!' The blond addressed him, managing to look quite menacing.

'Don't worry, he's just trying to scare you. As a matter of fact, it works on most newcomers but just take it in your stride, he'll learn to respect you one day.' L said in an undertone, reassuring a very startled Light.

'I'm Matt, it's an honour to meet you. You must be very special for L to bring you home.'

Both mens faces coloured slightly as they watched a smirk work its way across Mello's face. As it happened, Matt was quite oblivious to this and just continued to stare at the ground.

The younger boy, Near, didn't even speak at first, his eyes analysed him at a great speed. After a moments pause, he spoke. ' is not quite a friend of L, although he is likely to become one. My suspicion is that he is a suspect for the Kira case, meaning that L had to bring him here with him. I should expect that the task force will be arriving within the next day or so.

'I'm impressed Near, your deduction skills have improved since last year. Now we're going to bed, Light-kun is tired from the flight.' L smiled acutely before making for the door, dragging an unaware Light after him. They left, heading for the bedroom. ' Well that was certainly challenging. You weren't kidding when you said the kids here are unbelievably smart. Somehow I don't believe that's the last we'll see of them.' Light groaned, stretching and yawning.

'Somehow, I can't doubt that you're wrong.' Was L's reply.

They stepped into the comfort of their room, where a king sized canopy bed sat, surrounded by desks, books and technology, complete with an en suite bathroom and a kitchenette.

' I take it that this is your personal room Ryuzaki?' Light said, taking in his surroundings.

'There is no need to call me Ryuzaki whilst in the comfort of my own home, Light-kun but yes, this is and always has been my room.' L resumed his crouching position on the bed, watching Light.

'Ok then L.' He put emphasis on the detective's name and dug out some black silk pyjamas from his case with difficulty, as they were chained together still and the chain was pulling.

'L I need you to stand up so I can get changed, the chains not long enough otherwise.'

'Light-kun there is no need for me to stand up, you could simply come closer.' The raven haired detective's reply was sharp and smooth, sounding just a tiny bit planned.

Of course, Light was sceptical but he moved closer anyway and began to remove his clothes. Soon, his pyjamas were safely on and Light no longer felt exposed to L's glare.

'L I need to go and wash now. Did Watari bring my toothbrush and toiletries?'

'They're in the bathroom already.' L sounded bored, but then again, nothing excited him. The teenager just shrugged off the thought and tugged L by the chain into the bathroom.

A poke in the back disturbed Light from his exfoliating routine and he turned around to look at an amused L with a face full of pink bubbles. The aroma of peonys floated around the bathroom. Light hastily grabbed a washcloth and removed the offending bubbles from his face, now shining and refreshed. 'What is it L?' He asked, bemused.

'Light-kun, would you like to use some if my lavender moisturiser? Watari bought it for me but I much prefer the strawberry soap,and it seems that you would like it.'

Poor Light was confused, the stoic and sarcastic detective actually had a softer side? Well, it was likely, considering his love for cakes and sweet things. 'That sounds nice thankyou L...' was his startled reply, with a hint of softness. Soon his skin was the equivalent of silk and smelled deliciously of lavender. Clean teeth and tired eyes, a satisfied Light climbed into bed, he didn't even criticise L on his bedtime habits, L too had washed and now was emanating strawberries. The caramel haired boy fell into a deep and satisfied sleep and somewhere through the night, L did too. Both were encased in their dreams, seemingly safe from the world.

But what they didn't know, is what was going on two doors down the corridor...

'No Mello, we can NOT let live animals into the room, what would happen then?!' ' Matt sounded ridiculed as he hissed at Mello's pointless statement.

' Well why not? I could easily borrow a panda from the zoo and let it into the room. After all, the bed is made partly of bamboo, so it can't count as animal cruelty!' Mello was indignant, so sure of his idea.

'Mello, no. How about we hack into their laptops and mess their files around? It's a quiet and controlled way of pranking them which is unlikely to be traced back to us.' Matt retorted.

'Never mind the fact that you're the biggest computer genius in Wammys...' It was Mello's turn to sneer at the other's idea.

Somewhere in the corner, Near sat, twiddling his hair with his index finger. 'Why don't we do a mixture of both, plus my input?' He whispered, a mischievous glint in his dark eyes.

Even Mello didn't push Near away, he was too interested in what he had to say. 'Come over here, albino.'

The 3 of them huddled together, two faces shimmering with curiosity gazed at Near.

'Here's what we do...' He began, eyes dancing.

Cliffhanger :D I've already got a pretty good idea of what the prank is going to be, but if any of you have any ideas then I'm happy to hear them, and you never know, I might include it!

I still need your ideas on initiation though. I hope you enjoyed reading, it would really mean a lot to me if you reviewed and maybe even put a sneaky recommendation in your own fanfics or to your friends ;) I assure you that if you do, I'll certainly help advertise your fanfics too :) Have a great day everyone :)
