Sayu stepped out from behind Near, "Onii… I… I had to, I had to stop the other Death Notes. I know you'd do the same!"

"No Sayu. I wouldn't have." Light said giving her a disappointed stare.

B sighed and shrugged, "An easy answer for a difficult problem, hold that thought." B went into their room and started rummaging through his bags.

Near snarled, "B! You can't smoke in there!"

"Ah, here it is." B came out of their room with his lit cigarette still in his mouth, "Record everything you want to remember." He handed her a video recorder.

Sayu looked up, "I will forget?"

B put his arm up on Light's shoulder, "Well, yeah, didn't you read the instructions? Unfortunately, your life span was still halved. Unless…" B started pulling the Death Notes out of the back pack one by one and looking around. He pulled one out onto the deck. "Rem... How many books do you have?" A moment of silence went by… "I see, so, the Shinigami King doesn't care for our little game…"

Light stopped, "Rem? Isn't…"

B nodded, "Misa's previous Shinigami… I believe you owe Light your life… Given you were meant to die along with Misa and L. But!" B walked away and faced away from everyone, "Because he didn't pick up the Death Note that day… Wouldn't you say… Misa owes him her life?" B turned around his eyes glowing like burning embers. "You don't have much time left for a Shinigami anyway, however, wouldn't it keep Sayu alive long enough to live our her normal life span?" B pulled a knife on Sayu, "So? What do you say Shinigami? Me or her. Oh, by the way, I know very much where Misa is."

Light reached out for B and L stopped his hand then shook his head, "Just wait."

Before everyone's eyes a small wave of glittering dust scattered away and B stood unharmed in anyway. B caught Sayu from hitting the deck.

Everyone stared at B expecting him to fall. "You see? You can't kill me with a Death Note, if Sayu still had her eyes she could have told you that." B smirked sinisterly.

Nate gently took Sayu from him, "How?"

"Anyone whose died before cannot be killed by the Death Note…" B ran his fingers through his hair, "I was killed by lethal injection… Only problem, I didn't stay dead. I had a Shinigami watching over me… Apparently it loved me. I know, I'm sexy like that. Nate?"

Near turned around, "Yes?"

B's expression went from cocky to caring in minutes, "She'll need her rest, we'll destroy the rest of them when she's ready. Ridding a person of their Death Note is like sweating a drug out of their system."

Near nodded and looked at Light, "Take care of her, and no fucking funny business!" Light growled.

L placed his hand on Light's shoulder. "He's not suicidal, not after a beating like today."

Near laid her in bed and and tucked her in. And came back outside, "Thanks B… How do you know so much?"

"I met a Death Note owner in L.A. She was wonderful, graceful and above all… Selfless. Had she had never had the Death Note I would have married her and lived a normal life." B's eyes seemed to go hallow. "Sad part is, it wasn't the Death Note that took her life. It was a desperate man on hard times who needed money for a score. Turns out… When you have nothing to lose, you hurt the ones you never dreamed you'd hurt." B glanced at L. "Funny thing is, I already had what I wanted…"

Matt looked at Mello as he asked, "What was that?"

B put his cigarette out on his shoe and started to walk inside, "A family who would love me." B opened the door and walked into the room.

Light sighed and looked at L, "All those years…" Light leaned in and kissed L's cheek and hopped over the railing walking inside his and L's room.

Mello nudged Matt, "Well, seems like you cleared the air, well done, babes. Let's get back to our room too, I have terrible things I want to do to you."

Near hissed, "That's repulsive."

Mello winked and hopped over the railing with Matt not far behind, "Night guys!" Matt shouted as he was being pulled into their room.

Near's eyes fell on L. "Sometimes what you thought would hurt the most was only the beginning. I am also going to retire for the night."

L leaned against the railing, "Hey, Nate. Please tell Beyond I want to talk to him when he's ready… It doesn't have to be now, when he's ready."

Near nodded, "I can do that."

L hopped over the railing and took one last look at the sky. Walking him to his room and left a trail of clothes and went and stood in the shower. "I don't understand, Light…"

Light leaned in the doorway, "What's not to understand?"

L gave Light a defeated stare, "My whole life I told myself that he did it because he was insane, he did it because he hated me, he did it because he was dumb and deserved punishment from true justice… Even still, what he did was wrong. But I never knew."

Light smiled softly, "Sometimes black and white are grey. He just didn't do it with a book. By your definition, Sayu needs to be punished as well, even though it's for the greater good. Do you think she does, when she held true in her heart that she was saving the world from the Death Notes?"

L sighed and pulled at his hair, "I don't know!"

Light tilted his head, "Your towel, that you forgot to grab, is on the counter, when you get out we'll talk about it more, or not, whatever you want to do, sweetie."
